Contemporary relationships are in a state of rapid evolution. These changes can and should empower people with the opportunity to develop partnerships based on their own sexualities, understandings, and agreements. This makes it possible to create what Kenneth Haslam, founder of the Kinsey Institute's Polyamory Archive, has called "designer relationships." Designer relationships may encompass: people who bond emotionally but not sexually; people who agree to be non-exclusive; single people who have occasional lovers or friends with benefits; multiple partner configurations where long-term bonds exist among all or some; partnerships in which people are kinky and that make room to explore kink. The possibilities are limitless, and thinking about a partnership as something people can craft allows for flexibility and change. Relationships can open and close or have varying degrees and kinds of openness as circumstances demand. In the context of a designer relationship, decisions are made mutually, consciously, and deliberately. Best-selling authors and nationally known relationship experts Patricia Johnson and Mark A. Michaels are exemplars of this life choice, and have studied polyamory for over 20 years. This book explains exactly how you and your loved ones can design your own life and love.

Make your own magic soil tells of a tale of two 6th graders, Adrien and Chantia, who, on their quest to learn about composting and making soil, use the trash collected after their lunch period. With the help of their science teacher, they learn about biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste and without knowing it, perform the steps of the scientific method, a skill necessary for scientists to make investigations. Although a skeptic to this process, Chantia is convinced after learning all there was to know about composting, that soil really can be made from trash. Together, Adrien and Chantia started the "Clean up and Compost Campaign" at their school. Included in this book are a number of activities to make composting fun such as a quiz, word puzzles, homework assignments, a garbage survey, a backyard exploration exercise and step-by-step instructions on how anyone can make their own magic soil. The goal of this book is to educate kids on their environment at school in a fun and interactive way that allows them to spread their knowledge and experiences to their community in fostering little stewards of the environment.
