Even good parents often underestimate the dangers their children face. Research indicates that one in four females and one in six males are sexually abused before age 18. In most cases, the enemy is not a faceless stranger; it's someone you know and trust. This book provides practical steps to ensure you're doing all you can to reduce the risks of abuse. But since you cannot be with your children 24/7, it goes beyond what you can do as a parent to teach you how to increase your child's own awareness and strategies in the face of potential dangers - without making them fearful.

In these brief pages, Stendhal observes — without illusion — how pride dresses as passion, and how ideals dissolve in the quiet collisions of character. Nothing is overstated; everything matters.

Since the introduction of Igor Sikorsky’s V-300 helicopter in 1937, rotary wing aviation has advanced and matured to become a staple of U.S. Military aviation. Although it saw only very limited use in World War II, during the Korean War the helicopter became a staple of combat rescue (Search and Rescue), as well as an efficient means of quickly transporting the wounded to a MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) for prompt medical care and surgery that saved the lives of many wounded soldiers.
