Parking Lot Rules & 75 Other Ideas for Raising Amazing Children

Product Description

When Tom Sturges was the father, wanted to be the greatest father who ever walked the earth. So many questions asked Sturges. He picked up ideas, advice and guidance from parents, grandparents, and even rock stars and sports legends-anyone who had a unique insight to share. The result is practical, inspiring book to enhance the principle of a healthy, happy, secure and valued children. Philosophical, wise, strong, and these 76 ideas include such gems as:

• Teach your children that they have to follow the “Parking Lot Rules” whenever they are in (you guessed it) a parking lot. They must stay close. There is to be no trailing behind. No racing ahead. No exceptions.
• Let your child feel welcome and loved from the instant he or she walks into a room. “Smile When You See Them,” and leave no doubt that, at that moment, your child is the most important person in your world.
• Since parents who yell intimidate, and those who use a calm tone inspire, “When You Get Upset, Whisper”–and make sure your message is heard.
• Follow “The Bill Walton Rule”: If you can’t be on time, be early.
• When your children accomplish something great in sports, use “The ESPN Rule” by telling the story in intimate detail and filling them with the belief that they can do it again and again.

Parking Lot Rules puts a fresh new spin on parenting, in an inspiring handbook full of heart and kindness that will resonate with joy and meaning for parents and children everywhere.

    Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall

    Product Description

    When 16-year-old Tessa suffers a shocking accident in gym class, she finds herself in heaven (or what she thinks is heaven), which happens to bear a striking resemblance to her hometown mall. In the tradition of It’s a Wonderful Life and The Christmas Carol, Tessa starts reliving her life up until that moment. She sees some things she’d rather forget, learns some things about herself she’d rather not know, and ultimately must find the answer to one burning question–if only she knew what the question was.

    Written in sharp, witty verse, Wendy Mass crafts an extraordinary tale of a spunky heroine who hasn’t always made the right choices, but needs to discover what makes life worth living.

        LOT/EK: Mobile Dwelling Unit

        LOT/EK: Mobile Dwelling Unit

        Product Description

        Since 1955, when they were first standardized, shipping containers have had a radical effect on our physical reality. Seven million of these steel containers are now moving around the world, and their measurements have defined the design of ships, railroad cars, trucks, and cargo airplanes, as well as the landscape of ports, airports, and trucking yards. And that doesn’t even begin to touch on the wider and much more invisible system of distribution, of just-in-time-inventory, of information networks in which the container moves.
        LOT/EK, the New York-based studio with a reputation for creating architecture and environments using industrial objects, here takes on the standard shipping container as medium. The Mobile DwellingUnit (MDU) is “a shipping container transformed into a dwelling that nevertheless retains the attributes of a shipping container, i.e. it remains shippable.” It is a “discreet mobile element” that can be moved around the globe, to anywhere with that can receive standard shipping containers. It’s full-service interior includes push-out elements with space for sleeping, storage, eating, bathing, and cooking; these elements can be pushed smoothly back into the container when the occupant moves and needs to ship his or her living space along. Consider the MDU a trailer home for travelling between global villages.
        LOT/EK: Mobile Dwelling Unit, the book, will not only document the MDU concept but will provide greater understanding of the work’s cultural and social context with essays by leading architectural critics, theorists, historians, and practitioners. An interview with the designers by Chris Scoates will illuminate LOT/EK’s process in the creation and development of the MDU as well as their unique approach to architecture. Henry Urbach will place the MDU project in the context of LOT/EK’s larger body of work. Professor Robert Kronenberg, a leading expert on portable architecture, will consider the project within the history of the genre. Aaron Betsky, a leading design critic and Director of NAi, will explore the meaning of the MDU within a larger contemporary cultural and social context of mobility and habitation. A visual essay by Andrew Blauvelt and LOT/EK will explore the territories of the MDU’s inspiration and related themes of nomadic travel and industrial systems of transportation.
        Lot/Ek’s work is a reminder that we live in cities still littered with industrial detritus of all kinds. –Metropolis magazine
        We don’t think that architecture should be just a mute container. –Giuseppe Lignano of LOT/EK
