Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An informed, comprehensive guide to raising a multicultural family. How many times do you celebrate the New Year at home? Just once? If your family is Jewish, Chinese, and a few other things besides, you might celebrate twice or even three times a year! As the rate of cross-cultural adoption grows in the United States, new traditions are emerging. These are part of a new multiculturalism which, with its attendant joys and challenges, has become a fact of life in urban, suburban and even rural America. Alperson's sourcebook offers families the first complete guide to the tangled questions that surround this important phenomenon. As the adoptive Jewish mother of Sadie, her Chinese-born daughter, Alperson is able to offer personal as well as professional insight into such topics as combining cultures in the home, confronting prejudice, and developing role models. Focusing on adoptive families - international and transracial adoption in the United States has jumped in recent years - she provides guidelines on how families can prepare for their exciting journey toward becoming a multicultural family. In addition to drawing on extensive interviews with such families, her book includes a wealth of on-line and "conventional" resources to find books, food products, toys, clothing, discussion groups and heritage camps that help families to enhance their lives as they build a multicultural home.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. MONEY & LOVE: An Intelligent Roadmap for Life?s Biggest Decisions is a guide for navigating life?s most consequential and daunting decisions using research-based insights road-tested in a popular Stanford University course.Should I move in with this person? Should I quit my job? When is the ?right time? to have another child? All these life-altering questions at the juncture of money and love can be overwhelming. Often, we answer them either by staying overly rational or by only listening to our ? at times fickle ? hearts. Hardly ever, when faced with daunting questions, do we have the keys to combine both head and heart in a balanced and fulfilling way.Labor economist and Stanford Professor Emerita Myra Strober and social innovation leader Abby Davisson know that in our daily lives money and love are interdependent. Whereas most decision-making guides focus only on one or the other, Money and Love shows us and our loved ones how to consider them jointly using the original, step-by-step 5Cs method:CLARIFY: Consider what you want vs. don?t through self-reflection.COMMUNICATE: Include input from those who will be impacted by your decisions in your decision-making process.CHOICES: Broaden your perspectives to open up your options. CHECK IN: Ask around for advice, guidance, and resources.CONSEQUENCES: Consider the effects of your decisions and how that may impact all aspects of your life.At a time when we are experiencing the most significant shift in work-life balance in decades ? marked by remote work, the Great Reshuffle, and a mass reconfiguring of family dynamics and social/professional networks ? Strober and Davisson?s framework offers simple and effective steps to empower readers to make the best strategic decisions without having to sacrifice their careers or personal lives.…
