Robert Guarino – författare

The first book in Hoopoe''s "All About Me" series, Me and My Memory explores the mystery of our minds and memories: How do we remember, and how do we forget? In a clear and engaging way, it summarizes everything that scientists and researchers know about the topic, and also explores questions that have yet to be answered. Readers will begin to notice how their own and other people''s memories work. They''ll learn why memory is powerful but not perfect, and they''ll uncover strategies for improving it. Throughout the book, engaging activities that enhance these strategies are described. Me and My Memory was written by high-school teacher Robert Guarino, who presents fundamental information in clear and thoughtful text that teens can understand and relate to. This new edition of Me and My Memory has been revised to incorporate the latest research findings and meet the American Psychological Association''s National Standards for Psychology at the high-school level, the College Board AP Psychology standards and the National Board Standards for Science/Adolescence and Young Adulthood. The "All About Me" series presents books to help teens and preteens understand themselves and how they, as human beings, "work." This is fundamental information, but we often forget to teach it in school - for example, what psychologists know about how we see, think, and feel; how these abilities work, change, grow or get stuck; and how reliable they are as we try to make sense of ourselves, our friends, our relatives and the world around us. There is good, solid information readily available and scientifically validated - and it''s all about you ... and me.

The second book in Hoopoe''s "All About Me" series, Me and My Feelings explores the mystery of our emotions. What are they? How and why do they work the way they do? How can we manage our feelings when we need to? In this book, readers will discover everything that scientists and researchers know about human emotions. This is important, because once we understand emotions, we find them not only easier to manage in ourselves, but easier to understand in others. The book also introduces some ideas and tricks that can help us do this. Author Robert Guarino also includes many hands-on activities and experiments that are fun and instructive and will help to reinforce these new ideas. The book is illustrated by artist Jeff Jackson with an engaging cast of teen comic characters. This new edition of Me and My Feelings has been revised to incorporate the latest research findings and meet the American Psychological Association''s National Standards for Psychology at the high-school level, the College Board AP Psychology standards and the National Board Standards for Science/Adolescence and Young Adulthood. The "All About Me" series presents books to help teens and preteens understand themselves and how they, as human beings, "work."

The fourth book in Hoopoe''s "All About Me" series, What We See and Don''t See explores what science and research show about how we perceive our world. Readers will learn how the brain makes sense of what''s around us, and how it simplifies and organizes information - how we see what we see and, sometimes, don''t see what''s obviously in front of us. Author Robert Guarino explains how our five senses can be "extended" and our perception enhanced. He explores how there''s more to perception than what meets the eye (or ear, or nose, or...) - and how our culture can influence the way we experience our surroundings. This new edition of What We See and Don''t See has been revised to incorporate the latest research findings and meet the American Psychological Association''s National Standards for Psychology at the high-school level, the College Board AP Psychology standards and the National Board Standards for Science/Adolescence and Young Adulthood.
