In the course of thirteen days in January 1999, four commercial clam boats sank in horrifying succession while working the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, taking the lives of ten men. Husbands, fathers, loners, and drug users, each man was lured to the nation's most dangerous trade by the lucrative wages offered to those who dared to reap the harvest of the ocean. In this compelling maritime tale of risk and danger, acclaimed journalist Douglas Campbell compassionately portrays the destinies of the men who lost their lives to the Atlantic and the lure of profits from clamming. From the tough and sometimes troubled young men on deck to their families on shore, and the courageous people who tried to rescue them, this narrative memorializes a way of life, and exposes the hazards of this dangerous trade.Binding Type: Paperback

Insightful, wise and practical!
Format: Hardcover
A highly readable mix of practical strategies, engaging anecdotes and research-based insights, Thrivers underscores the importance of our kids' innate character strengths for their success and happiness. I found this book perfectly timed, given all the pandemic-related stress our teens have had on top of everything else! Borba’s advice on recognizing and nurturing what really matters makes this book a parenting must-have (and I’ve read plenty of them).

Helpful pinpointing which traits to focus on
Format: Hardcover
I loved the format of the book, how are you take a diagnostic test and then read the sections that pertain to the character traits that you want to strengthen in your child. But when I read the chapters, I was disappointed. I was hoping for new information. If I had never read a book on how to support my child’s development and education, I would have been delighted.

impressed with the quality and design
Format: Cards
much sturdier and better made than other flash cards we've tried. our son loves the size and reaches for these to play with frequently. nice to have a thicker box for bringing them with us to restaurants / travel that doesn't get ripped on the first usage.

Perfect for duo language learners
Format: Cards, Format: Cards
I love these cards my son received as a birthday gift, he started duo language program this school year and it’s been super helpful to help him practice at home. I also love the papel picado touch and that the colors are not so bright and in your face.
