Feeding China's Little Emperors: Food, Children, and Social Change by Jun Jing, ISBN 0804731349
Until recently, Chinese children ate what their parents fed them and were not permitted to influence, much less dictate, their own diet. The situation today is radically different, especially in cities and prosperous villages, as a result of a notable increase in people's income and a fast-growing consumer culture. Chinese children, with spending money in their pockets, arguably have become the most determined consumers -- usually of snack foods, soft drinks, and fast foods from such Western outlets as McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken. With many children, especially pampered only children, now controlling not only their own but also their family's choice of staples, snacks, and restaurants, a major reformation in the concept of childhood is occurring in China.
This book focuses on how the transformation of children's food habits, the result of China's transition to a market economy and its integration into the global economic arena, has changed the intimate relationship of childhood, parenthood, and family life. Since the early 1980s, a drastic decline in fertility and a steady rise in family income have been accompanied by a profusion of new products successfully advertised on television and in other media as "children's food". This commercialization of children's diet has become so pervasive that even children in remote villages surprise their parents with demands for particular trendy foods and soft drinks. Many Chinese parents, reared very differently, anxiously question whether their children are eating well and growing up healthy.

In the Spirit of Murder by Laura Belgrave, ISBN 1570721246
The first story I remember writing for public dissemination was something called. "The Day the Gravity Left the Earth". I think I was nine or ten. Well, gravity never did leave the earth, but my imagination certainly did. It hasn't been entirely grounded since.
Of course, somewhere on my way to becoming an adult I realized that Imagination alone wouldn't pay the bills and I wound up doing a lot of things that would. Some were ordinary. Some were less than ordinary. Some were just bizarre.
There was a four-year stint in the Air Force, where I worked on base newspapers. Then I attended the University of South Florida where I graduated cum laude with a degree in journalism. I wrote for the St. Petersburg Times and the Tampa Tribune, and became an editor. My focus was mostly on the murder and mayhem side of the business. It wore thin.
Somehow I parlayed my hard-core news experience into a staff position with a children's book publishing company. That satisfied me for a good chunk of time...
