Revenge
The author of the New York Times number one bestseller Disloyal tells the behind-the-scenes story of what can happen to you -- and what really happened to him -- when a President who believes himself to be above the law decides to go after his critics . . . . When Michael Cohen's secret payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels on behalf of Donald Trump made Cohen look like a liability to the by-then-President of the United States, the end to their decade-long relationship came swiftly -- with a knock on the door from the FBI. Soon, Cohen would find himself imprisoned -- even though he had plenty of evidence to show he was innocent of most of the charges. Meanwhile, with the release of the Steele Dossier, Cohen also found himself battling endless news reports citing the Dossier's claims that he'd had clandestine dealings with Russia -- reports that only mounted despite his exoneration by the Mueller Report. In a story now being echoed in recent breaking news stories about IRS persecution of

Playful Parenting
Have you ever stepped back to watch what really goes on when your children play? As psychologist Lawrence J. Cohen points out, play is children's way of exploring the world, communicating deep feelings, getting close to those they care about, working through stressful situations, and simply blowing off steam. That's why 'playful parenting' is so important and so successful in building strong, close bonds between parents and children. Through play we join our kids in their world-and help them to - Express and understand complex emotions - Break through shyness, anger, and fear - Empower themselves and respect diversity - Play their way through sibling rivalry - Cooperate without power struggles From eliciting a giggle during baby's first game of peekaboo to cracking jokes with a teenager while hanging out at the mall, Playful Parenting is a complete guide to using play to raise confident children.
