Each chapter: Covers an important topic relating to electronics, sex, mental health, and relationships. Presents a question for debate, such as "Should kids choose their own religion?" and "Is it possibleto love more than one person?" Shows how each issue might arise in an ordinary teen conversation. Presents and explores two or more opposed answers to philosophical debates. Encourages high school students to develop their own positions while learning to appreciate other perspectives. Throughout the book, the chapter contributors--all current or recent teens themselves--highlight key definitions, quote compelling sources, and diagram the central arguments. Each chapter includes discussion questions to guide arguments, as well as helpful sidebars and illustrations to increase comprehension. Perfect for inspiring classroom discussion of topics that matter to today's teens.

What is love? Is lying always wrong? Is beauty a matter of fact, or a matter of taste? What is discrimination?The answers to these questions, and more, are examined in Philosophy for Teens: Questioning Life's Big Ideas, an in-depth, teenager-friendly look at the philosophy behind everyday issues.

The book is one of twelve books of the Black Children Speak series. The books are compiled interviews taken from slaves by the interviewers of the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1936-1938. Most of the ex-slaves giving the interviews were children during slavery and gave interviews of their experiences and insights about living on plantations. The ex-slaves answered questions on all aspects of the plantations in seventeen states of the United States before the Civil War. African Americans were freed from slavery after the Civil War in 1865. The series is dedicated to all people of the world.

THE GEECHEE COOKBOOK "My" Official Geechee Cookbook highlights Geechee low-country cooking and food preparations that were popularized on the Georgia's barrier sea islands from the early 1700s until up to the end-of-the Civil War. A special effort has been made to include the similarities of possible African culture and slaves' tradition on each island. Recorded history has been included about each area. Although much of the history has been lost, the slaves made do with what they were able to simulate from their culture. The efforts in this cookbook have been dedicated to the impact of the "Geechee" contributions to the state of Georgia. Some people in Georgia call themselves "Gullah". However, my grandmother was a "Geechee". The research honors her heritage. "Gullahs" are popular in the low country areas of the Carolinas. "My" Official Geechee Cookbook is a result of my research with certain people who said they were Geechee and collected recipes from these people. The cookbook is not comprehensive of all Geeches' recipes. Historical influences surrounding the Geechees' survival on the Georgia sea coastline from slavery until present day have been examined.

The main purpose of the wedding cookbook is to highlight African American Southern belles. From slavery up to the present time, the African American woman has planned exquisite weddings with little or no resources. She used hand-me-downs or made her wedding clothing from threads taken from spinning cotton and dyeing the cloth. In the wedding cookbook, the author suggests menus and recipes traditionally prepared in the South or Southeastern states.

The Good Li'l Boys and Girls from the Buckeye State of Ohio and the Hoosier State of Indiana book is a compilation of stories of slave narratives shared by ex-slaves who either escaped to these two free states or moved to freedom. The ex-slaves described their experiences as children in slavery. The book is a part of a twelve-book series of Black Children Speak

Dzieci są urodzonymi filozofami, bo zadają najciekawsze pytania. Przystępne, bogato ilustrowane wprowadzenie do filozofii dla dzieci w wieku szkolnym. W angażujący sposób uczy samodzielnego myślenia poprzez eksplorację pytań, jakie ciekawskie dzieci same lubią zadawać: Z czego zrobiony jest wszechświat? Co sprawia, że jestem mną? Czym jest czas? Skąd wiem, że coś jest prawdą? Czy coś może być prawdziwe dla jednej osoby, ale nie dla kogoś innego? Kim jest przyjaciel? Czy komputery potrafią myśleć? Co to jest argumentacja? Czy powinno się krytykować ludzi za ich idee? Jak debatować na jakiś temat? I wiele innych! Autorka jasno omawia i pogłębia każde pytanie, ale unika podawania gotowych rozwiązań. Zamiast tego zwięźle podsumowuje odpowiedzi udzielone przez najważniejszych myślicieli w historii, czerpiąc z zadziwiająco szerokiego wachlarza postaci: od starożytnych mędrców chińskich i indyjskich, przez średniowiecznych uczonych arabskich, renesansowych astronomów i oświeceniowych naukowców europejskich, aż po współczesnych fizyków i matematyków – oraz, naturalnie, licznych filozofów. Dzięki temu książka stanowi małe kompendium wiedzy, które ukazuje ogromną różnorodność poglądów i uczy, że na wiele pytań może nie być jednej oczywistej odpowiedzi. Każdy rozdział kończy się częścią praktyczną z ćwiczeniami do samodzielnego wykonania i przemyślenia, co zachęca dzieci do aktywnego zmierzenia się z postawionym problemem i sformułowania własnych odpowiedzi. Świetne ćwiczenie dla młodych umysłów oraz wspaniały punkt wyjścia do dalszej nauki!
