NZCER Press. Very Good. 148 x 210mm. Paperback. 2006. 98 pages. <br>LEARNING TO DO RESEARCH opens a conversation about a very common learning activity-researching to find things out. I t has been written for teachers and interested others who work wi th learners across all the school years. It questions common assu mptions about what research is and could be as a learning activit y: What does researching look like? Do the activities that go wit h research change, from primary to secondary school, or from one curriculum area to another? Should the nature of students' resear ch activities change as they get older? Should research be grante d a special place in the curriculum? This book addresses these qu estions. Its scope extends beyond learning curriculum content thr ough research activities to encompass learning about research as a multifaceted and intellectually satisfying process. In a future -focused view of learning, knowledge becomes not so much an end i n itself as the means by which knowing is built and conveyed in t he world. This meta-level focus is an important cornerstone of ed ucating today's students to be so-called lifelong learners in tom orrow's uncertain world, and underpins the key competencies propo sed for New Zealand's revised curriculum framework. Research is a n important learning activity for all students, from primary scho ol onward. ., NZCER Press, 2006, 3, New York: Penguin Books, 1999. First Printing . Trade Paperback.

Editorial Reviews Amazon.c om Review A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Wall Street J ournal, Faludi lays out a two-fold thesis in this aggressive work : First, despite the opinions of pop-psychologists and the mainst ream media, career-minded women are generally not husband-starved loners on the verge of nervous breakdowns. Secondly, such belief s are nothing more than anti-feminist propaganda pumped out by co nservative research organizations with clear-cut ulterior motives . This backlash against the women's movement, she writes, stands the truth boldly on its head and proclaims that the very steps th at have elevated women's positions have actually led to their dow nfall. Meticulously researched, Faludi's contribution to this tum ultuous debate is monumental and it earned the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Award for General Nonfiction. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Pu blishers Weekly Far from being liberated, American women in the 1 980s were victims of a powerful backlash against the handful of s mall, hard-won victories the feminist movement had achieved, says Wall Street Journal reporter Faludi, who won a Pulitzer this yea r. Buttressing her argument with facts and statistics, she states that the alleged man shortage endangering women's chances of mar rying (posited by a Harvard-Yale study) and the infertility epide mic said to strike professional women who postpone childbearing a re largely media inventions. She finds evidence of antifeminist b acklash in Hollywood movies, in TV's thirtysomething , in 1980s f ashion ads featuring battered models and in the New Right's attac k on women's rights. She directs withering commentary at Robert B ly's all-male workshops, Allan Bloom's prolonged rant against wom en and Betty Friedan and Germaine Greer's revisionism. This eloqu ent, brilliantly argued book should be read by everyone concerned about gender equality. First serial to Glamour and Mother Jones.

From Library Journal Faludi, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for th e Wall Street Journal , marshals in a sustained and excoriating 5 00-plus pages what many thoughtful women already know: it isn't t hat the goals of the feminist movement have failed, but that they have not yet been tried. Placing the current backlash against wo men squarely in a historical context (in the 19th century so-call ed experts told women that education would atrophy their wombs), she debunks the shoddy scholarship and half-truths that produced the myths we hear today: that women are fleeing the workplace to stay home and cocoon; that their chances of marrying diminish gre atly if they don't marry young; that their lack of advancement is their own fault. She argues that women's anger and resentment ar e not due to their feminism, but occur because women have not yet been the beneficiaries of the justice, fairness, and equity they deserve. Along the way, Faludi demolishes the anti-feminist agen das of Robert Bly's wild men, Allan Bloom ( Closing of the Americ an Mind , LJ 5/1/87), and George Gilder ( Sexual Suicide , LJ 8/7 3), among others. This is most important book. - GraceAnne A.

From Kirkus Reviews The Pulitzer-winning journalist (The Wall Street Journal, Ms., The Miami Herald) expl ores the real status of American women in the 90's in this powerf ul and long-overdue myth-buster--an instant classic and a valuabl e companion to Paula Kamen's Feminist Fatale (reviewed below). Co llege-educated women over 30 are more likely to be killed by a te rrorist than to marry. Working women enjoy their careers at the e xpense of their children's welfare. If you're female, you can't r eally have it all. So go the modern myths that were born in the 8 0's, despite the era's supposedly ``liberated'' image, and that h ave terrorized American women ever since. The trouble, claims Fal udi, is not only that the myths aren't true, but that through del iberate action or passive collusion the government, media, and po pular culture have ensured their overpowering influence on the pu blic. Her interest sparked by her discovery that the Harvard-Yale marriage-for-women-over-30 study was based on very shaky methodo logy, but that there was resistance in both the media and governm ent to correcting its conclusions, Faludi went on to uncover the unacknowledged but frighteningly widespread backlash against femi nism that has taken place under the surface of 80's careerism. Ta king the reader step by step through the creation of wildly anti- feminist 80's myths and backlashes in popular culture (Fatal Att raction, the ``New Traditionalism,'' the new ``feminine'' fashion s); in politics (reproductive rights, the female New Right); in p opular psychology (``to improve your marriage, change yourself'') ; in the workplace (lack of day care, parental leave, the wage ga p); and in health (white career women's supposed sterility vs. bl ack women's actual, unaddressed, sterility problem), Faludi convi ncingly peels back layers of deliberate and passive misrepresenta tion to reveal what she sees as the underlying message of the Rea gan-Bush era: Women's problems are a direct result of too much in dependence, and no one but feminists are to blame. Historically, backlashes have always followed feminist gains, Faludi points out ; the necessity is to see behind today's hip ``postfeminist'' apa thy to the injustices still being done. Brilliant reportage, with all the details in place--a stunning debut. -- Copyright ®1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

INTRODUCTION: BLAME IT ON FEMINISM To be a woman in America at the close of the 20th century--what good fortune. That's what we keep hearing, anyway. The barricades hav e fallen, politicians assure us. Women have made it, Madison Aven ue cheers. Women's fight for equality has largely been won, Time magazine announces. Enroll at any university, join any law firm, apply for credit at any bank. Women have so many opportunities no w, corporate leaders say, that we don't really need equal opportu nity policies. Women are so equal now, lawmakers say, that we no longer need an Equal Rights Amendment. Women have so much, former President Ronald Reagan says, that the White House no longer nee ds to appoint them to higher office. Even American Express ads ar e saluting a woman's freedom to charge it. At last, women have re ceived their full citizenship papers. And yet . . . Behind thi s celebration of the American woman's victory, behind the news, c heerfully and endlessly repeated, that the struggle for women's r ights is won, another message flashes. You may be free and equal now, it says to women, but you have never been more miserable. T his bulletin of despair is posted everywhere--at the newsstand, o n the TV set, at the movies, in advertisements and doctors' offic es and academic journals. Professional women are suffering burnou t and succumbing to an infertility epidemic. Single women are gri eving from a man shortage. The New York Times reports: Childless women are depressed and confused and their ranks are swelling. Ne wsweek says: Unwed women are hysterical and crumbling under a pro found crisis of confidence. The health advice manuals inform: Hig h-powered career women are stricken with unprecedented outbreaks of stress-induced disorders, hair loss, bad nerves, alcoholism, a nd even heart attacks. The psychology books advise: Independent w omen's loneliness represents a major mental health problem today. Even founding feminist Betty Friedan has been spreading the word : she warns that women now suffer from a new identity crisis and new 'problems that have no name.' How can American women be in s o much trouble at the same time that they are supposed to be so b lessed? If the status of women has never been higher, why is thei r emotional state so low? If women got what they asked for, what could possibly be the matter now? The prevailing wisdom of the p ast decade has supported one, and only one, answer to this riddle : it must be all that equality that's causing all that pain. Wome n are unhappy precisely because they are free. Women are enslaved by their own liberation. They have grabbed at the gold ring of i ndependence, only to miss the one ring that really matters. They have gained control of their fertility, only to destroy it. They have pursued their own professional dreams--and lost out on the g reatest female adventure. The women's movement, as we are told ti me and again, has proved women's own worst enemy. In dispensing its spoils, women's liberation has given my generation high incom es, our own cigarette, the option of single parenthood, rape cris is centers, personal lines of credit, free love, and female gynec ologists, Mona Charen, a young law student, writes in the Nationa l Review, in an article titled The Feminist Mistake. In return it has effectively robbed us of one thing upon which the happiness of most women rests--men. The National Review is a conservative p ublication, but such charges against the women's movement are not confined to its pages. Our generation was the human sacrifice to the women's movement, Los Angeles Times feature writer Elizabeth Mehren contends in a Time cover story. Baby-boom women like her, she says, have been duped by feminism: We believed the rhetoric. In Newsweek, writer Kay Ebeling dubs feminism The Great Experime nt That Failed and asserts women in my generation, its perpetrato rs, are the casualties. Even the beauty magazines are saying it: Harper's Bazaar accuses the women's movement of having lost us [w omen] ground instead of gaining it. In the last decade, publicat ions from the New York Times to Vanity Fair to the Nation have is sued a steady stream of indictments against the women's movement, with such headlines as when feminism failed or the awful truth a bout women's lib. They hold the campaign for women's equality res ponsible for nearly every woe besetting women, from mental depres sion to meager savings accounts, from teenage suicides to eating disorders to bad complexions. The Today show says women's liberat ion is to blame for bag ladies. A guest columnist in the Baltimor e Sun even proposes that feminists produced the rise in slasher m ovies. By making the violence of abortion more acceptable, the au thor reasons, women's rights activists made it all right to show graphic murders on screen. At the same time, other outlets of po pular culture have been forging the same connection: in Hollywood films, of which Fatal Attraction is only the most famous, emanci pated women with condominiums of their own slink wild-eyed betwee n bare walls, paying for their liberty with an empty bed, a barre n womb.

The Future for Investors reveals ne w strategies that take advantage of the dramatic changes and oppo rtunities that will appear in world markets. Jeremy Siegel, one of the world's top investing experts, has taken a long, hard, and in-depth look at the market and the stocks that investors should acquire to build long-term wealth. His surprising finding is tha t the new technologies, expanding industries, and fast-growing co untries that stockholders relentlessly seek in the market often l ead to poor returns. In fact, growth itself can be an investment trap, luring investors into overpriced stocks and overly competit ive industries. The Future for Investors shatters conventional wisdom and provides a framework for picking stocks that will be l ong-term winners. While technological innovation spurs economic g rowth, it has not been kind to investors. Instead, companies that have marketed tried-and-true products for decades in slow-growth or even declining industries have superior returns to firms that develop the bold and the new. Industry sectors many regard as di nosaurs-railroads and oil companies, for example-have actually be at the market. Professor Siegel presents these strategies within the context of the coming shift in global economic power and the demographic age wave that will sweep the United States, Europe, and Japan. Contrary to the popular belief that these economic and demographic trends doom investors to poor returns, Professor Sie gel explains the True New Economy and how to take advantage of th e coming surge in invention, discovery, and economic growth. Th e faster the world changes, the more important it is for investor s to heed the lessons of the past and find the tried-and-true com panies that can help you beat the market and prosper in the years ahead. Editorial Reviews From Booklist The constant pursuit of growth--through buying hot stocks, seeking out the next big thin g, or investing in the fastest growing countries--dooms investors to poor returns. So states Siegel, an academic who, with optimis m and extensive research, suggests that the future is bright for equity investors in old, reliable companies in slow-growth or eve n shrinking industries. He presents a framework for understanding world markets and offers strategies for protecting and enhancing long-term capital. Stocks will outperform bonds and other inflat ion hedges, and he recommends supplementing indexed portfolios us ing three directives--buy stocks that have sustainable cash flows and return these cash flows to the shareholders with dividends; recognize the economic power shifts from the West toward China, I ndia, and the rest of the developing world; and accumulate shares in firms with reasonable valuations relative to their expected g rowth while avoiding trendy investments. Warren Buffet, the preem inent investor, suggests that those interested in investments sho uld study Siegel's new facts and ideas. Mary Whaley Copyright Am erican Library Association.

While no o ne can predict the future of stocks with certainty, Siegel's anal ysis marks the verdict of history: the triumph of the shareholder over the shareflipper, the investor over the speculator, the bui lder over the gambler. Strong conclusions, good writing, and a re freshing message make this a compelling and important book to rea d. -Jim Collins, author of Good to Great and co-author of Built t o Last Jeremy Siegel's lively new book is much more than a typic al Siegelian guide to asset allocation.

Excerpt. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Chapter One: The Growth Trap The speculative public is incorrig ible. It will buy anything, at any price, if there seems to be so me action in progress. It will fall for any company identified wi th franchising, computers, electronics, science, technology, or w hat have you when the particular fashion is raging. Our readers, sensible investors all, are of course above such foolishness. -Be njamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor, 1973 The future for inv estors is bright. Our world today stands at the brink of the grea test burst of invention, discovery, and economic growth ever know n. The pessimists, who proclaim that the retiring baby boomers wi ll bankrupt Social Security, upend our private pension systems, a nd crash the financial markets, are wrong. Fundamental demograph ic and economic forces are rapidly shifting the center of our glo bal economy eastward. Soon the United States, Europe, and Japan w ill no longer hold center stage. By the middle of this century, t he combined economies of China and India will be larger than the developed world's. How should you position your portfolio to tak e advantage of the dramatic changes and opportunities that will a ppear in the world markets? To succeed in this rapidly changing environment, investors must grasp a very important and counterint uitive aspect of growth that I call the the growth trap. The gro wth trap seduces investors into overpaying for the very firms and industries that drive innovation and spearhead economic expansio n. This relentless pursuit of growth-through buying hot stocks, s eeking exciting new technologies, or investing in the fastest-gro wing countries-dooms investors to poor returns. In fact, history shows that many of the best-performing investments are instead fo und in shrinking industries and in slower-growing countries. Iro nically, the faster the world changes, the more important it is f or investors to heed the lessons of the past. Investors who are a lert to the growth trap and learn the principles of successful in vesting revealed in this book will prosper during the unprecedent ed changes that will transform the world economy. The Fruits of Technology No one can deny the importance of technology. Its dev elopment has been the single greatest force in world history. Ear ly advances in agriculture, metallurgy, and transportation spurre d the growth of population and the formation of great empires. Th roughout history, those who possessed technological superiority, such as steel, warships, gunpowder, airpower, and most recently n uclear weapons, have won the decisive battles that allowed them t o rule over vast parts of the earth-or to stop others from doing so. In time, the impact of technology spread far beyond the mili tary sphere. Technology has allowed economies to produce more wit h less: more cloth with fewer weavers, more castings with fewer m achines, and more food with less land. Technology was at the hear t of the Industrial Revolution; it launched the world on a path o f sustained productivity growth. Today, the evidence of that gro wth is seen everywhere. In the developed world, only a small frac tion of work is devoted to securing life's necessities. Advancing productivity has allowed us to achieve better health, retire ear lier, live longer, and enjoy vastly more leisure time. Even in th e poorer regions of our globe, advances in technology during the past century have reduced the percentage of the world's populatio n faced with starvation and those living in extreme poverty. Ind eed, the invention of new technologies has enabled thousands of i nventors and entrepreneurs-from Thomas Edison to Bill Gates-to be come fabulously wealthy by forming public companies. The corporat ions that Edison and Gates founded-General Electric and, a centur y later, Microsoft Corp.-are now ranked number one and two in the world in market value, having a combined capitalization in exces s of half a trillion dollars. Because investors see the enormous wealth of innovators like Bill Gates, they assume they must seek out the new, innovative firms and avoid the older firms that wil l eventually be upended by advancing technologies. Many of the fi rms that pioneered automobiles, radio, television, and then the c omputer and cell phone have not only contributed to economic grow th, but also became very profitable. As a result, we set our inve stment strategies toward acquiring these ground-breaking firms th at vanquished the older technologies, naturally assuming our fort unes will increase as these firms profit. The Growth Trap But a ll the assumptions behind these investment strategies prove false . In fact, my research shows that exactly the opposite is true: n ot only do new firms and new industries fail to deliver good retu rns for investors, but their returns are often inferior to those of older companies established decades earlier. Our fixation on growth is a snare, enticing us to place our assets in what we thi nk will be the next big thing. But the most innovative companies are rarely the best place for investors. Technological innovation , which is blindly pursued by so many seeking to beat the market, turns out to be a double-edged sword that spurs economic growth while repeatedly disappointing investors. Who Gains-and Who Lose s? How can this happen? How can these enormous economic gains ma de possible through the proper application of new technology tran slate into substantial investment losses? There's one simple reas on: in their enthusiasm to embrace the new, investors invariably pay too high a price for a piece of the action. The concept of gr owth is so avidly sought after that it lures investors into overp riced stocks in fast-changing and overly competitive industries, where the few big winners cannot begin to compensate for the myri ad of losers. I am not saying there are no gains to be reaped fr om the creative process. Indeed, there are many who become extrem ely wealthy from creating the new. If this were not so, there wou ld be no motivation for entrepreneurs to develop pathbreaking tec hnologies nor investors to finance them. Yet the benefits of all this growth are funneled not to individual investors but instead to the innovators and founders, the venture capitalists who fund the projects, the investment bankers who sell the shares, and ul timately to the consumer, who buys better products at lower price s. The individual investor, seeking a share of the fabulous growt h that powers the world economy, inevitably loses out. History's Best Long-term Stocks To illustrate the growth trap, imagine fo r a moment that we are investors capable of time travel, so we ar e in the remarkable position of being able to use hindsight to ma ke our investment decisions. Let's go back to 1950 and take a loo k at two companies with an eye toward buying the stock of one and holding it to the present day. Let's choose between an old-econo my company, Standard Oil of New Jersey (now ExxonMobil), and a ne w- economy juggernaut, IBM.

Co mpared with Steven Levitt's and Stephen J. Dubner's popular Freak onomics (*** July/Aug 2005), the book uses simple, playful exampl es (written in plain English) to elucidate complex economic theor ies. Critics agree that the book will grip readers interested in understanding free-market forces but disagree about Harford's app roach. Some thought the author mastered the small ideas while kee ping in sight the larger context of globalization; others faulted Harford for failing to criticize certain economic theories and t o ground his arguments in political, organizational structures. E ither way, his case studies-some entertaining, others indicative of times to come-will make you think twice about that cup of coff ee. Copyright ? 2004 Phillips & Nelson Media, Inc.

The long commute on public transportation is a commonplace exp erience of life in major cities around the world, whether you liv e in New York, Tokyo, Antwerp, or Prague. Commuting dispiritingly combines the universal and the particular. The particular, becau se each commuter is a rat in his own unique maze: timing the run from the shower to the station turnstiles; learning the timetable s and the correct end of the platform to speed up the transfer be tween different trains; trading off the disadvantages of standing room only on the first train home against a seat on the last one . Yet commutes also produce common patterns-bottlenecks and rush hours-that are exploited by entrepreneurs the world over. My comm ute in Washington, D.C., is not the same as yours in London, New York, or Hong Kong, but it will look surprisingly familiar. Farr agut West is the Metro station ideally positioned to serve the Wo rld Bank, International Monetary Fund, and even the White House. Every morning, sleep-deprived, irritable travelers surface from F arragut West into the International Square plaza, and they are no t easily turned aside from their paths. They want to get out of t he noise and bustle, around the shuffling tourists, and to their desks just slightly before their bosses. They do not welcome deto urs. But there is a place of peace and bounty that can tempt them to tarry for a couple of minutes. In this oasis, rare delights a re served with smiles by attractive and exotic men and women-toda y, a charming barista whose name badge reads Maria. I am thinking , of course, of Starbucks. The caf?is placed, inescapably, at the exit to International Square. This is no quirk of Farragut West: the first storefront you will pass on your way out of the nearby Farragut North Metro is-another Starbucks. You find such conveni ently located coffee shops all over the planet and catering to th e same desperate commuters. The coffee shop within ten yards of t he exit from Washington's Dupont Circle Metro station is called C osi. New York's Penn Station boasts Seattle Coffee Roasters just by the exit to Eighth Avenue. Commuters through Shinjuku Station, Tokyo, can enjoy a Starbucks without leaving the station concour se. In London's Waterloo station, it is the AMT kiosk that guards the exit onto the south bank of the Thames. At $2.55 a tall cap puccino from Starbucks is hardly cheap. But of course, I can affo rd it. Like many of the people stopping at that caf? I earn the p rice of that coffee every few minutes. None of us care to waste o ur time trying to save a few pennies by searching out a cheaper c offee at 8:30 in the morning. There is a huge demand for the most convenient coffee possible-in Waterloo Station, for example, sev enty-four million people pass through each year. That makes the l ocation of the coffee bar crucial. The position of the Starbucks caf?at Farragut West is advantageous, not just because it's loca ted on an efficient route from the platforms to the station exit, but because there are no other coffee bars on that route. It's h ardly a surprise that they do a roaring trade. If you buy as muc h coffee as I do you may have come to the conclusion that somebod y is getting filthy rich out of all this. If the occasional gripe s in the newspapers are correct, the coffee in that cappuccino co sts pennies. Of course, the newspapers don't tell us the whole st ory: there's milk, electricity, cost of the paper cups-and the co st of paying Maria to smile at grouchy customers all day long. Bu t after you add all that up you still get something a lot less th an the price of a cup of coffee. According to economics professor Brian McManus, markups on coffee are around 150 percent-it costs forty cents to make a one-dollar cup of drip coffee and costs le ss than a dollar for a small latte, which sells for $2.55. So som ebody is making a lot of money. Who? You might think that the ob vious candidate is Howard Schultz, the owner of Starbucks. But th e answer isn't as simple as that. The main reason that Starbucks can ask $2.55 for a cappuccino is that there isn't a shop next do or charging $2.00. So why is nobody next door undercutting Starbu cks? Without wishing to dismiss the achievements of Mr. Schultz, cappuccinos are not in fact complicated products. There is no sho rtage of drinkable cappuccinos (sadly, there is no shortag, Little, Brown, 2006, 3, Broadway. Good. 1.25 x 6.75 x 9.75 inches. Hardcover. 2000. 398 pages. Ex-library.<br>From the authors of the classic text Ov ercoming Depression, here is the first book about early-onset bip olar disorder. Bipolar disorder--manic depression--was once thou ght to be rare in children. Now researchers are discovering that not only can bipolar disorder begin very early in life, but also that it is much more common than ever imagined. Yet the illness i s often misdiagnosed or overlooked. Why? Bipolar disorder manife sts itself differently in children than in adults, and in childre n there is an overlap of symptoms with other childhood psychiatri c disorders. As a result, these kids may be given any number of p sychiatric labels: ADHD, Depressed, Oppositional Defiant Disorder , Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or Separation Anxiety Disorder. Too often they are treated with stimulants or antidepressants--me dications that can actually worsen the bipolar condition. The Bi polar Child demystifies this disorder of childhood. Drawing upon recent advances in the fields of neuroscience and genetics, the P apoloses convey what is known and not known about the illness. Th ey comprehensively detail the diagnosis, tell how to find good tr eatment and medications, and advise parents about ways to advocat e effectively for their children at school. Included in these pag es is the first Individual Education Plan--IEP--ever published fo r a bipolar child. The book also offers critical information abou t the stages of adolescence, hospitalization, the world of insura nce, and the psychological impact the illness has on the child. The Bipolar Child is rich with the voices of parents, siblings, a nd the children themselves, opening up the long-closed world of t he families struggling with this condition. An invaluable resourc e for parents whose children suffer from mood disorders, as well as the professionals who treat and educate them, this book will p rove to have major public health significance. Editorial Reviews Amazon com Review For any caregiver experiencing life with a bi polar child, Demitri and Janice Papolos's The Bipolar Child will be an indispensable reference guide. The material is presented cl early, with lots of helpful charts and lists to aid in receiving proper diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care. All medical info rmation is relayed with the aim of helping parents to ensure effe ctive treatment for their children and includes journal-tracking formats to help caregivers provide accurate information to person al physicians. Importantly, many pages are devoted to discussions about the emotional upheavals that living with a bipolar child c an bring, and how parents and children can cope most effectively. The book is filled with families' stories that do a beautiful jo b providing comfort and inspiration to others. A detailed chapter on hospitalization covers everything from insurance to types of treatments. The authors provide excellent information regarding i mproved educational practices, with step-by-step instructions for goal-setting with your child and communicating your child's need s to school personnel. The Bipolar Child is a satisfying and wise read. --Jill Lightner From Publishers Weekly Demitri, associate professor of psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine i n New York, and his wife, Janice (authors of Overcoming Depressio n), present a comprehensive view of early-onset bipolar disorder, focusing on how this complicated illness evolves in children. Th e authors warn that nearly one-third of children diagnosed with a ttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may actually be bi polar (previously called manic depression), and they stress the i mportance of getting early diagnosis and treatmentAespecially sin ce ritalin, which is commonly prescribed for ADHD, may worsen the bipolar child's condition. The authors dispel the myth that bipo lar disorder occurs only in adolescents and adults and note that cases of bipolar disorder are increasingly occurring at a younger age. While the book sounds several alarms, it also offers suppor t to parents (Demitri is the adviser for an online support group for parents of bipolar children, from which the authors culled mu ch of their anecdotal information). In addition to diagnosis and treatment, the authors discuss practical ways to deal with the co ndition itself, as well as the impact it has on the entire family . This is an important guide for parents seeking ways to cope wit h this potentially devastating disorder. (Dec.) Copyright 1999 R eed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal In their fri ghtening yet supportive book, Papolos (psychiatry, Albert Einstei n Coll. of Medicine) and his wife (coauthor, with her husband, of Overcoming Depression) describe life with a bipolar child in gre at detail. These authors write for real people with very real day -to-day crises, laying out in generalists' terms the psychopathol ogy and genetics of bipolar disorder (formerly known as manic-dep ression). They emphasize the importance and difficulties of findi ng the correct diagnosis and drug therapies. Their empathetic dis cussions of the extended family, school-related problems, hospita lization, insurance companies, welfare, and adolescence suggest w hat to expect, what to say, and how to advocate for bipolar child ren. A listing of helpful organizations and web sites as well as resources, questionnaires, and an extensive bibliography are all provided.

Voices from the Front In 1992 Tomie Burke, a young mother i n Pullman, Washington, developed a listserv (called BPParents) fo r parents of children with bipolar disorder. She was motivated to do so because when her six-year-old son first began experiencing the baffling and frightening symptoms of the illness, she search ed community and university libraries, bookstores, databases, and Internet pages in her desperate desire to become educated about the illness and to help her child. She found little to check out, purchase, or download. But eventually she did become extremely knowledgeable about the illness, and she wanted to reach out to o ther families--to provide information and assure them that they w ere not alone. She soon had an address on the World Wide Web call ed Parents of Bipolar Children. The site consisted of a home page , links to information about the disorder, and a guest book where parents could describe how they found the site, note whether the y had a boy or girl with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and com ment a bit about their situations. The messages left by parents who visited convey a desperate need for information and sheer rel ief when they discover that they are not alone-that the illness i s not uncommon and that it isn't caused by bad parenting. That fi rst year thousands of parents came to the site seeking help for t heir children. What is early-onset bipolar disorder, and why is it such a little-known illness? Most people have never heard of t he expression, but it is actually psychiatry's phrase for manic-d epression that occurs early--very early--in life. (Adults who use d to be diagnosed manic-depressive are now also referred to as ha ving bipolar disorder.) Bipolar disorder in children is a neglec ted public health problem. It is estimated that one-third of all the children in this country who are being diagnosed with attenti on-deficit disorder with hyperactivity are actually suffering fro m early symptoms of bipolar disorder. Since close to 4 million ch ildren were prescribed stimulants such as Ritalin in 1998, that's over 1 million children who eventually will be diagnosed as bipo lar. According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Ps ychiatry, a third of the 3.4 million children who first seem to b e suffering with depression will go on to manifest the bipolar fo rm of a mood disorder. Researchers in the field of early-onset bi polar disorder peg that figure closer to 50 percent. Amid all the dry statistics stand several million suffering children as well as their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and grandparents. This illness is as old as humankind, and has probably been conser ved in the human genome because it confers great energy and origi nality of thought. People who have had it have literally changed the course of human history: Manic-depression has afflicted (and probably fueled the brilliance of) people like Isaac Newton, Abra ham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, Johann Goethe , Honoré de Balzac, George Frederic Handel, Ludwig von Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Leo Tolstoy, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, E rnest Hemingway, Robert Lowell, and Anne Sexton. But until recen tly, manic-depression was thought to affect people in their early twenties or older. It was not viewed as an illness that could oc cur among children. This has proven to be myth. The temperamenta l features and behaviors of bipolar disorder can begin to emerge very early on--even in infancy. But because a vast majority of bi polar children also meet criteria for ADHD (and the focus of drug treatment strategies becomes the symptoms of ADHD), the bipolar illness is typically overlooked. As a result, drugs are prescribe d to deal only with the symptoms of hyperactivity and distractibi lity. And, since many, many children initially develop depressive symptoms as the earliest manifestation of the illness, bipolar d isorder may again be discounted as the primary diagnosis. Childh ood bipolar disorder can overlap or occur with many disorders of childhood other than ADHD or depression: panic disorder, generali zed anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and To urette's syndrome, to name a few. And this mixed-symptom picture can be perplexing and confound diagnosis. Moreover, only in the p ast few years has bipolar disorder become the focus of research i nquiry. The Illness in Adults Bipolar disorder in children pres ents very differently from how it presents in adults. Adults typi cally experience a more classical pattern of mood swings. In the manic phase, the person experiences an increased rate of thinking , has surges of energy, and describes him- or herself as feeling more active, creative, intelligent, and sexual than he or she e, Broadway, 2000, 2.5, United States Government Printing, 2002-11.
