The SNES Encyclopedia: Every Game Released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System
by Chris Scullion“If you didn’t grow up with an SNES and are curious to know about games like Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid and more, then this is the book for you.” —Got Game Following on from the previously released NES Encyclopedia, The SNES Encyclopedia is the ultimate resource for fans of Nintendo’s second home video game console, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.Containing detailed information on all 780 games released for the SNES in the west, this enormous book is full of screenshots, trivia and charmingly bad jokes. It also includes a bonus section covering the entire twenty-two-game library of the Virtual Boy, Nintendo’s ill-fated 3D system which was released at the end of the SNES’s life.“Without question, The SNES Encyclopedia: Every Game Released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System makes for an excellent video game library addition. It’s an economical and well-crafted book of Nintendo’s 16-bit history, and it’s sure to leave you yearning for the days of Super Mario World’s vibrant colors, Super Metroid’s intoxicating atmosphere, and Super Punch Out!!’s incredible tension. If you already own The NES Encyclopedia, you’ll know what to expect, but if you’re just starting a collection of video game-themed books, you can’t go wrong with this condense and informative offering.” —Nintendo World Report
The Safe Food Handbook: How to Make Smart Choices About Risky Food
by Heli PerrettA helpful, easy reference on food safety from a microbiologist and public health expert. The Safe Food Handbook is an essential guide for everyone, especially those most vulnerable to unsafe food: pregnant women, older adults, young children, those with serious health conditions, and anyone who cooks for them. Dr. Heli Perrett provides clear guidance on how to: Recognize the riskiest foods and places to eatProtect yourself from dangerous microbes like E. coli and salmonellaReduce toxins that build up in your bodyLearn which corners you can cut—and which you shouldn’tEnjoy your favorite foods without hurting your health or your budget Organized by food group, The Safe Food Handbook demystifies the perils in our food—infectious bacteria, deadly molds, hormones, antibiotics, toxins, irradiation, and even wax on produce. It explains what to watch for in fruits and vegetables; fish and shellfish; meat and poultry; dairy; eggs; grains, legumes and nuts; and even herbs and spices. Also included are answers to questions on shopping (“What exactly does this label mean?”), eating out (“What should I avoid in restaurants?”), and food preparation and storage (“How long can I save these leftovers?”)—so instead of worrying, you can relax and enjoy some good, healthy food. “Perrett writes in a manner that clears the fog of claims surrounding food risks and safety.” —Library Journal “She answers many frequently asked questions about prepackaged food, organic products, and what precautions to take with dishes such as sushi and raw beef. She even answers questions readers may not think to ask such as how to avoid distasteful, contaminated spices.” —Ruth Winter, MS, author of A Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives
The Safety Trap: A Security Expert's Secrets for Staying Safe in a Dangerous World
by Spencer CoursenThreat management expert Spencer Coursen offers proactive strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones in the event of hostile encounters and emergency situations in The Safety Trap: A Security Expert’s Secrets for Staying Safe in a Dangerous World.Despite what the news and social media would have you believe, we have never lived in a safer time than we are now. Unfortunately, we live under a false sense of security enforced by authorities that only alleviates fears without reducing risk. We have placed our personal safety, and our responsibilities of guarding it, into the hands of people trained only to respond to crises, not actively prevent them. Our blind faith in institutions to protect us has only dulled our natural survival instincts. The truth is that when we feel safest is actually when we are in the most danger.This is the paradox of The Safety Trap.When you don’t expect danger, you simply fail to see the signs that something bad is about to happen. But the signs are always there, and staying safe is about training yourself to see them. In easy-to-implement methods of maintaining vigilance, assessing risk, and taking preventative measures, you’ll discover how to be alert without anxiety and know how to best protect and defend yourself on the job, in school, in public places, at home, and online.With Coursen’s simple formula of Awareness + Preparation = Safety as your guide—as well as real world examples of managing threats—you will learn how to develop the skills and confidence to reclaim your own security and avoid The Safety Trap.

The Sage Encyclopedia of Education and Gender
by Sherry L. Deckman Elizabeth E. BlairGender is a prominent and often-contested issue in educational settings across the globe. While understandings of gender and academic and professional potential, roles and expectations, and opportunities and abilities have greatly expanded over the past century in various contexts, schools remain sites of intense conflict around definitions of gender and gendered access and expression. For example, in the US there is growing public backlash against recognizing gender diversity in schools, with educators being called to make their teaching more inclusive, while schools debate what representations are permissible and parents bring legal action against school districts over recognizing students’ chosen gender expression. Furthermore, educational access and outcomes have nuanced gendered patterns to which educators and educational researchers must be attentive. For example, in India, growing literacy rates among youth now show gender parity, while across age groups men show higher literacy rates than women. In Afghanistan, girls have recently been restricted from attending school. Globally, school attendance among youth who menstruate is reduced because of lack of access to menstrual health products. In the US (and many Western countries), women are more likely to graduate high school and college than men, with the US showing the greatest degree attainment disparities between women and men of color. However, US women still advance in STEM fields at persistently lower rates than men, a pattern contrasted by the rapid rise of women earning the majority of STEM degrees in China. These examples begin to show the nuance of gendered educational patterns, with perspectives growing in complexity as our understandings of gender shift and change, moving beyond the traditional gender binary. Yet, despite rapid changes in gendered educational patterns and in how education scholars conceptualize and study gender, the field lacks a recent, comprehensive resource text. This two-volume encyclopedia, a unique compendium on gender and education with an expansive and inclusive approach, will address this urgent need. Featuring a broad range of 250-300 well-researched, short articles written by global experts in the field, this much-needed guide will be an essential, first-stop resource for students and scholars exploring issues of gender and education, as well as educators caught in a rapidly changing and nuanced field. A central strength of this encyclopedia will be its broad, nuanced, and inclusive exploration of gender. Entries will explore topics of gender and education comprehensively, through an intersectional lens, covering issues of gender equity, identity, and inclusivity in education that impact women, girls, men, boys, trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary people. As education is an interdisciplinary field, the Encyclopedia will draw from perspectives in sociology, anthropology, psychology, policy studies, leadership, philosophy, history, economics, law, curriculum studies, public health, race & ethnic studies, and women, gender, & queer studies.
