Dr. Nancy Appleton, Ph.D. in Health Services graduate
Once associated only with cavities and simple weight gain, sugar is now linked to a host of devastating health conditions including cancer, epilepsy, dementia, hypoglycemia and obesity. In Suicide by Sugar, sugar addiction expert Dr. Nancy Appleton and health writer G. N. Jacobs not only expose the exorbitant levels of sugar we ingest but also document the connection between our current health crisis and our collective sweet tooth. Suicide by Sugar begins with the story of Dr. Appleton’s battle with her own sugar addiction. Next, the authors examine all the frightening (and unknown) things that can go wrong when people consume too much sugar, from increased susceptibility to disease to imbalanced body chemistry. They go on to discuss the various ways scientists measure sugar’s impact on blood glucose and explain why these statistics cannot be solely relied on when choosing foods. The authors provide shocking information about the amount of sugar found in many popular foods and beverages and an in-depth discussion of the ailments now associated with excessive sugar consumption. Finally, Dr. Appleton’s easy-to-follow, effective lifestyle plan—complete with recipes—guides you in eliminating sugar from your life.

Timing is the key to success with emerging child readers of all ages. Teach a Child to Read with Children’s Books skillfully presents and guides the reader through a process of recognition and reinforcement that customizes reading instruction to the specific child. Foundational reading skills are introduced as the child’s natural desire to learn develops. When the skill being introduced is relevant to a child’s desire to learn, both teaching and learning become exciting, even joyful experiences! Teach a Child to Read with Children’s Books approaches reading instruction from a particular perspective: nurturing lifelong learners. Written specifically for parents, tutors and teachers who work one-on-one with children learning to read, Teach a Child to Read with Children’s Books provides a comprehensive approach that provides tools to identify and implement research-based instruction strategies without dampening a child’s enthusiasm for reading and learning.

Ward Plowden Publishing Company, 2009
This book was written in the observance of the last 100 years of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the accomplishments of many leaders and branches of the Georgia State Conference. The NAACP presence in Georgia begins with the founding of the Atlanta Branch in 1917. In 1941, the late Rev. Ralph Mark Gilbert convened 10 branches of the NAACP in Savannah, Ga., and organized the Georgia State Conference. Its purpose was to maintain a network of branches throughout Georgia and to work in conjunction with the national association.

This novel, Janet Cunningham’s first, describes the lives of three women who face life challenges and move through them to greater happiness. Everyone has events in life that jolt their emotions and well-being. How we handle these occurrences determines whether we “spiral upward,” growing through the experience into greater joy and fulfillment, or “spiral downward” into sadness, anger or hopelessness.

How can an adventure book empower children and make them safer? “A spoonful of adventure makes the psychology go down,” according to author Dr. Molly Barrow, a practicing psychotherapist.

Dr. Malinda Daniel, Ph.D. in Education graduate
Highway, 2009
Many Americans have questions about the quality of education in the United States and whether it will get worse before it gets better. Many newspapers report the dire circumstances of education and the struggles that schools are facing to meet Adequate Yearly Progress. Understanding the child’s world is the place we must begin. Society can play the blame game by saying it’s their (parents’, teachers’, schools’) fault, or businesses and communities can support learning and teaching. Teachers desire to provide the best support to learners. The foundation for a solid society in the future will require more time for professional development, better community support, financial resources and innovative teaching.
Marie-Laure de Shazer, M.S. in Education graduate
