These are confessions, and Ilona Paris-and her cougar pals-have plenty to confess. And they're proud of it. A "cougar" is a woman in her forties (or so) who indulges in the pleasures of younger men in a quest for terrific sex without the hassles of a relationship. These women have been there, done that. In How to Make Love to a Younger Man, their wild, sexy encounters are described with a brazen voice that seduces but never apologizes. Men appreciate a woman with some experience, a situation that makes a woman more confident, in bed and beyond. Salacious and sassy, Ilona Paris writes with a fearless confidence about her flings with men who are young enough to . . . keep pace with an adventurous older woman. Step into the Boston kink scene as Ilona sets her sights on a gorgeous goth god. Follow Ilona's friend Adina as she seduces a suave, handsome Spanish man. Dive into the experience as Ilona's model-tall friend Sam finds a poolside Greek hunk. How to Make Love to a Younger Man combines a unique voice with gripping, explicit scenes. Astute readers will also pick up a tip or two on technique. Packed with anecdotes, How to Make Love to a Younger Man is a book to get readers in the mood. It's a book that women will buy for themselves and for their friends if they're looking for a hot and thrilling tale.

Narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder are subjects of great interest in contemporary society. The modern world, with its strongly individualistic values, encourages people to focus on themselves. Psychotherapy, although used to treat narcissism, is influenced by the same values, and runs the danger of making patients worse rather than better. This book, written from the perspective of empirical research in psychology, psychiatry, and the social sciences, suggests a different approach to psychotherapy, moving away from a focus on the self, and guiding patients to develop better social capital and social networks.

"Once a predominantly African American city, South Vista opened the twenty-first century with a large Latino/a majority and a significant population of Pacific Islanders. Using an innovative blend of critical ethnography and social language methodologies, Paris offers the voices and experiences of South Vista youth as a window into how today's young people challenge and reinforce ethnic and linguistic difference in demographically changing urban schools and communities. The ways African American language, Spanish and Samoan are used within and across ethnicity in social and academic interactions, text messages and youth authored rap lyrics show urban young people enacting both new and old visions of pluralist cultural spaces. Paris illustrates how understanding youth communication, ethnicity and identities in changing urban landscapes like South Vista offers crucial avenues for researchers and educators to push for more equitable schools and a more equitable society"--
