Popular : the power of likability in a status-obsessed world / by Prinstein, Mitchell J.,1970-author.(CARDINAL)345055;

Includes bibliographical references and index.The adult playground : where popularity still matters -- Boorish bully or likable leader : there's more than one type of popularity -- The problems with popularity : what's wrong with what we want? -- Herds and headaches : how our bodies are programmed to care about popularity -- The popularity boomerang : how we create the world we live in -- Our high school legacy : how we can conquer the prom queen today -- Clicks and cliques : what's not to "like"? -- Parenting for popularity : can Mom and Dad make a difference, and should they? -- Most likely to succeed : choosing the type of popularity we want."Popular examines why popularity plays such a key role in our development and, ultimately, how it still influences our happiness and success today. In many ways -- some even beyond our conscious awareness -- those old dynamics of our youth continue to play out in every business meeting, every social gathering, in our personal relationships, and even how we raise our children. Our popularity even affects our DNA, our health, and our mortality in fascinating ways we never previously realized. More than childhood intelligence, family background, or prior psychological issues, research indicates that it's how popular we were in our early years that predicts how successful and how happy we grow up to be. But it's not always the conventionally popular people who fare the best, for the simple reason that there is more than one type of popularity -- and many of us still long for the wrong one. As children, we strive to be likable, which can offer real benefits not only on the playground but throughout our lives. In adolescence, though, a new form of popularity emerges, and we suddenly begin to care about status, power, influence, and notoriety -- research indicates that this type of popularity hurts us more than we realize. Realistically, we can't ignore our natural human social impulses to be included and well-regarded by others, but we can learn how to manage those impulses in beneficial and gratifying ways."--Amazon.com.

Death on a winter stroll / by Mathews, Francine,author.(CARDINAL)347114;

"Nantucket Police Chief Meredith Folger is acutely conscious of the strain COVID-19 has placed on the community she loves. Although the island has proved a refuge for many during the pandemic, the cost to Nantucket has been high. Merry hopes that Christmas Stroll, one of Nantucket's favorite traditions, in which Main Street is transformed into a winter wonderland for tourists and locals to enjoy, will lift the island's spirits. But the arrival of a large-scale TV production, and the Secretary of State with her family, complicates matters significantly. The TV shoot is plagued with problems from within, as a shady, power-hungry producer clashes with strong-willed actors. Across Nantucket, the Secretary's troubled stepson keeps shaking off his security detail to visit a dilapidated house near conservation land, where an intriguing recluse guards secrets of her own. With all parties overly conscious of spending too much time in the public eye and secrets swirling around both "camps," it is difficult to parse what behavior is suspicious or not-until the bodies turn up. Now, it's up to Merry and Detective Howie Seitz to find a connection between two seemingly unconnected murders and catch the killer. But when everyone has a motive, and half of the suspects are politicians and actors, how can Merry and Howie detect fact from fiction? This latest installment in critically acclaimed author Francine Mathews's Merry Folger series is an immersive escape to festive Nantucket, a poignant exploration of grief as a result of parental absence, and a delicious new mystery to keep you guessing." --

In Eat Right 4 Your Type you will learn: * which foods, spices, teas, and condiments help someone of your blood type maintain optimal health and ideal weight * which vitamins and supplements to emphasize or avoid * which medications function best in your system * whether your stress goes to your muscles or to your nervous system * whether your stress is relieved better through aerobics or meditation * whether you should walk, swim, or play tennis or golf as your mode of exercise * how knowing your blood type can help you avoid many common viruses and infections * how knowing your blood type can help you fight back against life-threatening diseases * how to slow down the aging process by avoiding factors specific to your blood type that cause rapid cell deterioration"--
