Pl support us so we may publish more semi-academic non-fiction.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZZ3ZM5A

Quite a long on line sample so you may read sample on line too.

Pl also post reviews.  You can do this if you ever bought anything from Amazon, not necessarily a book, or this book (though better to review something you have actually read.)

You could for instance buy some crayons or something.

On behalf of all the Contributors and my Economics Colleagues--Thank you.

Note:  The print edition may take a bit longer, as I noticed 2 small typos on the back cover which need to be fixed.

Also I like to see/order the proof copy before I "pass" it.

Mothers and ISIS--

Mothers and ISIS links--I looked for one and found dozens--

PROVIDE a nurturing understanding environment for yr children, however young or old they are.  It does not matter how rich or poor you are--yr children must feel they can share anything with you.

Otherwise they will just do things in secret.

Monitor their social media.

One reason people get drawn to cults/groups/religions and fraternities etc is they are looking for surrogate family and feel unloved and unappreciated at home.

When I was at Penn, the Christian Association's Rev Bev told me they had to regularly detox 1st year students out of cults at request of their families--

a group/cult shld NEVER ask you for your passport or your social security #--no one should.

Even I  sometimes feel unappreciated--so don't howl or sneer at yr loved ones--everyone has a reason for what they do.

Read as many of these as you can--
