Book Review
Amazing things happen when Woman taps her inner Girl Scout. In You Can Do It!, Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas and friends present an engaging cast of female "mentors" who share their expertise in activities ranging from money management to firewalking. Fanning the can-do spirit kindled during her own scouting years, Catuzzi goes beyond the badge with this concept; wealthy information and the book's visual charm encourage women to embrace their aspirations and, in turn, to build self esteem. All who completed this commendable handbook following Catuzzi's tragic death deserve applause.

Book Description
The original CliffsNotes study guides offer expert commentary on major themes, plots, characters, literary devices, and historical background. The latest generation of titles in this series also feature glossaries and visual elements that complement the classic, familiar format. In CliffsNotes on To Kill a Mockingbird, you explore Harper Lee's literary masterpiece -- a novel that deals with Civil Rights and racial bigotry in the segregated southern United States of the 1930s. Told through the eyes of the memorable Scout Finch, the novel tells the story of her father, Atticus, as he hopelessly strives to prove the innocence of a black man accused of raping and beating a white woman. Chapter summaries and commentaries take you through Scout's coming of age journey. Critical essays give you... |

Born to Buy: The Commercialized Child and the New Consumer Culture |

Book Review
Parents will be tempted to read Born to Buy as a kind of contemporary horror story, with ever more sophisticated marketing wunderkinds as Dr. Frankensteins and their children as the relentless monsters they create. Indeed, it's difficult to avoid feeling overwhelmed by the avariciousness, omnipotence, and ingenuity of the advertising industry Juliet B. Schor portrays when it comes to transforming preschool kids into voracious, 'tude-infused consumers. Intermixing research data with anecdotal illustrations, Schor chronicles the rapid development of a once-shackled industry that now markets R-rated movies to 9-year-olds. The mind boggles at the notion that Seventeen magazine's target readership is now pre-teens. While Schor unearths a surplus of information on the effectiveness of advertising, she's not nearly as adept at... |

From Booklist
An appealing, readable compendium, this volume is intended as "an identification guide to official Girl Scout uniforms and insignia used in the United States from 1912 to 2003." The writing is upbeat and informative. The first nine chapters provide an overview of the development of the Girl Scouts and the badges, uniforms, and so on pertinent to each era. Most of the remaining chapters focus on memorabilia: calendars, dolls, postcards, and more. Throughout the book are numerous tables listing crests, proficiency badges, and components of uniforms. Annotated diagrams picture the correct assembly of sash, badges, scarf, and pins. A biography of Juliette Gordon Lowe and a multitude of drawings and black-and-white photographs add interest. A glossary of terms related to fabrics, fibers, and uniforms and a good index complete... |
