- Eventide, Water City / by McKinney, Chris,1973-author.;
"Year 2150: Eight years after the murder of Akira Kimura, Water City's renowned scientist and anointed "God," the nameless antihero who once risked everything to find Akira's killer is no longer a detective, but a stay-at-home dad. While his wife climbs the corporate ladder of the Water City Police Department, he raises his now nine-year-old daughter and occasionally takes the odd job as a bounty hunter. Water City's domestic bliss is threatened when Ascalon's Scar-the permanent mark left by the elimination of Sessho-seki, an asteroid that nearly wiped out life on Earth-vanishes from the sky and a familiar face thought dead returns from the ocean depths to exact revenge on humanity. What follows is a wild journey, both deep below and high above a futuristic Pacific, that takes Water City's antihero from Lucky Cat City (formerly Osaka, Japan) to the moon and back, all to stop the destruction of the last of the human race. Hawaiian author Chris McKinney's cinematic, immersive follow-up to Midnight, Water City explores technology, class, climate change, and the lengths desperate people will go to in order to protect the ones they love"--- Subjects: Science fiction.; Cyberpunk fiction.; Noir fiction.; Novels.; Asteroids; Climatic changes; Conspiracies; Ex-police officers; Technology; Undersea colonies;

- Tweens : what kids need NOW, before the teenage years : navigating friendships, moods, technology, boundaries, body image and the road ahead / by Mitchell, Michelle,author.; Dent, Maggie,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-328) and index.If your child is between the ages of nine and twelve, you are in the throes of the 'between' years. Not quite a child and not yet a teenager, tweens embody a very specific stage of development that once understood will revolutionise the way you parent, educate and support those in your care. In Tweens, parenting educator Michelle Mitchell explains that this is the most rapid period of development since toddlerhood. Right now, before the full pressures of high school hit, you have a window of opportunity that can change the trajectory of adolescence and beyond. Using the results from her recent survey of more than 2000 parents and tweens, along with interviews with experts, Michelle compassionately guides parents through their children's friendship issues, mood swings, confidence crises, technology habits, sibling rivalry, body image concerns and seemingly inexplicable behaviour. She provides invaluable practical advice and groundbreaking research from leading organisations to reassure parents that tweens are ready to be switched on to their potential, and every trusted adult in their lives can be a part of that process.- Subjects: Child development.; Child psychology.; Child rearing.; Parent and child.; Parenting.; Preteens.;
