Description
Lisa Damour, Ph.D., director of the internationally renowned Laurel School s Center for Research on Girls, pulls back the curtain on the teenage years and shows why your daughter s erratic and confusing behavior is actually healthy, necessary, and natural.

Providing realistic scenarios and welcome advice on how to engage daughters in smart, constructive ways, "Untangled" gives parents a broad framework for understanding their daughters while addressing their most common questions, including

Do I tell my teen daughter that I m checking her phone?
My daughter suffers from test anxiety. What can I do to help her?
Where s the line between healthy eating and having an eating disorder?
My teenage daughter wants to know why I m against pot when it s legal in some states. What should I say?
My daughter s friend is cutting herself. Do I call the girl s mother to let her know?

At sites ranging from Mexico to New Zealand and Chicago to Cape Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions Into Adulthood download book Town, Woodworth shows us the striking successes (and a few humbling failures) of groups that are attempting to use cutting-edge science to restore blighted, polluted, and otherwise troubled landscapes to states of ecological health-and, in some of the most controversial cases, to particular moments in historical time, before widespread human intervention. His firsthand field reports and interviews with participants reveal the promise, power, and limitations of restoration. Ecological restoration alone won't solve the myriad problems facing our environment. But Our Once and Future Planet demonstrates the role it can play, and the hope, inspiration, and new knowledge that can come from saving even one small patch of earth.
