Picking up where Dr. Spock's ground-breaking The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care left off, RAISING COOPERATIVE KIDS focuses on children from toddlerhood to early teens and presents the authors' complete, ground-breaking parenting programme.Patterson, who was one of the leaders of the behavioural movement in psychology, gets straight to the heart of the power struggle that begins when children learn to speak and interact with others. This competition for power is at the core of every tantrum and argument that will ever occur between parents and children. Together, Patterson and Forgatch give parents the formula to overcome that power struggle and make children want to cooperate. Their parenting techniques tap deep-rooted human instincts, making them universal and easy to use no matter where you live or how your family is structured. Developed over 40 years of practice and tested in clinical studies, these techniques enable parents to teach their children new behaviour, change unwanted behaviour and reduce family conflicts. Unlike most parenting books, the focus is first on changing the behaviour of parents and giving them tried and tested tools to bring out the best in their children. Specific guidance is included for issues ranging from how to share the bathroom during the morning rush to what to do when a child misbehaves. The authors, also, remind us of the importance of play - enjoying each other and sharing time and activities together is the cornerstone of a happy family. RAISING COOPERATIVE KIDS is the only parenting book you will ever need.

The Third Domain is the untold story of how the discovery of a new form of life -- first ridiculed, then ignored for the past thirty years by mainstream scientists -- is revolutionizing science, industry, and even our search for extraterrestrial life. Classification is a serious issue for science: if you don't know what you're looking at, how can you interpret what you see? Starting with Carolus Linnaeus in the 17th century, scientists have long struggled to order and categorize the many forms of life on Earth. But by the early 20th century the tree of life seemed to have stabilized, with two main domains of life at its roots: single-celled and multi-celled organisms. All creatures fit into one of these two groups. Or so we thought. But in 1977, a lone scientist named Carl Woese determined that archaea -- biochemically and genetically unique organisms that live and thrive in some of the most inhospitable environments on Earth -- were a distinct form of life, unlike anything seen on Earth before. This shocking discovery was entirely incompatible with the long-standing classification of life as we know it.But as it turned out, archaea were not life as we know it, and the tree of life had to be uprooted once again. Now, archaea are being hailed as one of the most important scientific revelations of the 20th century. The Third Domain tells the story of their strange potential and investigates their incredible history to provide a riveting account of an astonishing discovery.
