New Releases by Stephen Glenn

Discusses the difference between abuses and effective uses of "time out" as a disciplinary method for children.

While the argument rages between strict and permissive parenting, both sides miss the point. If our goal as parents and educators is to help children become capable adults, then teaching them to make proper decisions and become self-reliant is paramount. With the bestselling classic Raising Self-Reliant Children in a Self-Indulgent World, authors and educational speakers H. Stephen Glenn and Jane Nelsen have created a book that no parent or teacher can afford to ignore -- an inspiring, workable formula for developing closeness, trust, dignity, and respect, as well as for creating self-discipline, responsibility, good judgment, and perseverance in children. Over the years, this invaluable guide has helped thousand of parents instill children with character-building traits that last a lifetime. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

3-Methyl-2,4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane and 7-hydroxy-3-methyl-2, 4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane were synthesized by the method of Croxall, Glavis and Neher, although in low yields. The structure of both compounds was proven by analytical methods and analysis of their spectral properties. Tentative configuration of C-3 in both compounds was assigned on the assumption that the ring closing step is kinetically controlled. Both configurations were shown to be present at C-7 in 7-hydroxy-3-methyl-2, 4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane. The conformation of both compounds was tentatively assigned to the chair-boat form.
