Albania
By:"Gillian Gloyer"
Published on 2008 by Bradt Travel Guides

This new edition, like the previous, places its emphasis on the cultural and outdoor activities of Albania rather than overdeveloped beaches.

Albania covers sites such as Butrint with its complex ruins, dating back 2500 years, and the hilltop site of Byllis with its ruins of Illyrian houses, Roman buildings, and Byzantine basilicas. Full details on outdoor activities, including cycling routes and hikers' trails countrywide are also included.

The Book with No Pictures

The Book with No Pictures
By:"B.J. Novak"
Published on 2014-09-30 by Penguin

A #1 New York Times bestseller, this innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian. You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here’s how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.)

Saving the Team
By:"Alex Morgan"
Published on 2013-05-07 by Simon and Schuster

From star soccer player and Olympic gold medalist Alex Morgan comes the New York Times bestselling first book in an empowering, fun-filled middle grade series about believing in yourself and working as a team. Twelve-year-old Devin loves to play soccer. If she hadn’t just left Connecticut to move across the country, she would have been named seventh-grade captain on her school soccer team. But now that Devin is starting seventh grade in Kentville, California, all bets are off. After all, some of the best players on the US national team come from California. She’s sure to have stiff competition. Or so she thinks. When Devin shows up for tryouts, she discovers that the Kentville Kangaroos—otherwise known as the Kicks—are an absolute mess. Their coach couldn’t care less whether the girls win or lose. And Devin is easily one of the most talented players. The good news is, Devin quickly makes friends with funny, outgoing Jessi; shy but sweet Zoe; and klutzy Emma. Can Devin and her newfound friends pull together and save the team from itself?

Comparison of Senior Middle School Students' Smoking Behavior Between Urban and Rural Area in China

Comparison of Senior Middle School Students' Smoking Behavior Between Urban and Rural Area in China
By:
Published on 2007 by ProQuest

This study examined the smoking behavior among 3818 middle school students (9th graders') in either urban or rural area across four geographic regions in China. After adjusting for age, peer and parental smoking, rural boys demonstrate more severe smoking behaviors compared to urban boys (odds ratio [OR] =1.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.36-2.62 for lifetime smoking; OR =1.28, 95% CI =0.93-1.77 for past month smoking; and OR =2.04, 95% CI =1.27-3.26 for a lifetime whole cigarette use). Rural girls, on the other hand, were less likely to smoke than urban girls. Smoking initiation age was not statistically significantly different between rural and urban students. Across the four regions, the students in the southwest region had a higher smoking prevalence than those in the other three regions. Our findings suggest that rural boys and urban girls, especially those in the southwest region, are important populations for tobacco control interventions.
