“Addictive in the extreme.”—Toronto Star“A word-of-mouth cult success and a publishing phenomenon.”—Kitchener-Waterloo Record“Leaving out the history, the time-travel and fantastical subplots, the wit and irony, battles and heroes and villains, what will keep loyal readers and attract new is this fine portrait of two immensely admirable and interesting characters.” —London Free Press Crossing the boundaries of genre with its unrivalled storytelling, Diana Gabaldon's new novel is a gift both to her millions of loyal fans and to the lucky readers who have yet to discover her. In the ten years since her extraordinary debut novel, "Outlander, was published, beloved author Diana Gabaldon has entertained scores of readers with her heart-stirring stories and remarkable characters. The four volumes of her bestselling saga, featuring eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his twentieth-century, time-travelling wife, Claire Randall, boasts nearly 5 million copies in the U.S. The story of "Outlander begins just after the Second World War, when a British field nurse named Claire Randall walks through a cleft stone in the Scottish highlands and is transported back some two hundred years to 1743. Here, now, is "The Fiery Cross, the eagerly awaited fifth volume in this remarkable, award-winning series of historical novels. The year is 1771, and war is approaching. Jamie Fraser's wife has told him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy - a time-traveller's certain knowledge. To break his oath to the Crown will brand him a traitor; to keep it is certain doom. Jamie Fraser stands in the shadow of the fiery cross - a standard that leads nowhere but to the bloody brink of war. "From the Hardcover edition.

The dazzling fifth volume of Diana Gabaldon’s extraordinary Outlander saga, featuring 18th-century Scotsman James Fraser and his 20th-century time-traveling wife, Claire Randall.

The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser’s wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy—a time-traveler’s certain knowledge.

Born in the year of Our Lord 1918, Claire Randall served England as a nurse on the battlefields of World War II, and in the aftermath of peace found fresh conflicts when she walked through a cleftstone on the Scottish Highlands and found herself an outlander, an English lady in a place where no lady should be, in a time—1743—when the only English in Scotland were the officers and men of King George’s army.

Now wife, mother, and surgeon, Claire is still an outlander, out of place, and out of time, but now, by choice, linked by love to her only anchor—Jamie Fraser. Her unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead—or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes....

Grand, sweeping, utterly unforgettable, The Fiery Cross is riveting entertainment, a vibrant tapestry of history and human drama.

More of the same I suppose a story wouldn't be so interesting if their weren't so many near misses, tragic endings, and being involved in just about anything that was anything during the time period, but to also be well accomplished in every endeavor in just the nick of time. Yes, it's the continuation of the story from all the previous novels and I would like to read how this ends but it is becoming too predictable and the writing lacked some of the previous finesse and even on various occasions a few paragraphs would be written to accurately describe the work, scene, or character machinations to only spend another quantity of paragraphs to give us another iteration of the same thing. While this was an entertaining read of the saga, I was also disappointed with the writing.These books are over 1400 pages and are SO very hard to hold open while I read. The picture of the front cover doesn't prepare you for the fact that each book is very thick and VERY hard to hold and read from. My hand cramps up just trying to hold them open. We love the TV series, and I thought this would be awesome, but truly it's just WAY too thick. Honestly, if she didn't spend so much time talking about handing the babies from one lap to another, babies peeing/pooping, or changing and washing the diapers, etc., the book could be thinner. There is an inordinate amount of time/wordage spent on details that are not only unnecessary, but add nothing to the story. This wouldn't bother me so much if the book wasn't 1450 pages long and nearly impossible to hold. I'm keeping the one that I've read 25% of (Book 5), but I'm returning the last 3. I'd truly suggest increasing the surface area of the pages (larger book dimensions) in order to decrease the number of pages. I've never given up on a book because of it's difficulty to hold, but there's a first time for everything. (Take several paperbacks and put them together until you get about 1450 pages and just look at how thick that really is.)Listening to this fantastic story frees me to do other tasks. The story is good because of course it’s by Diana Gabaldon. I’ve read all of the books, this is my 4th time! I like listening because many of the Gaelic phrases and names I don’t know how to pronounce so it’s nice to hear them instead of guessing what they sound like. The reader is excellent. I would recommend this series to anyone and everyone-I know many man who love the adventure and the history. If something is presented of the events taking place in the time period-riots, plagues, uprisings, political happenings, and more-it happened, I’ve checked. Even the most obscure thing that only a historian studying that time period would know, happened. Love, lots of steamy sex, humor, tenderness, violence, adventure on land and sea, magic, believable characters, this series has it all. If you’re not a reader, if you spend many hours in your car driving from call to call, if you’re a busy homemaker, anyone who doesn’t have time to sit and read, get the audio. I have the book too.

"Emotional Intensity In Gifted Students is a resource that can help parents and teachers understand why gifted children have such passionate--and sometimes explosive--feelings and behaviors . . . Special worksheets, checklists, and tip sheets are included. These features recap the material covered in the chapter and provide specific directions about how to implement the information in real life.This book would be beneficial for parents and teachers of gifted children." - VOYA Trained as an educational psychologist, Christine Fonseca is dedicated to helping children and adults connect with their personal truth. She is an award-winning author of fiction and nonfiction, a nationally recognized speaker, and an international consultant and coach. Critically acclaimed titles include Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students and Letting Go.

Teaching children how to manage their intense emotions is one of the most difficult aspects of parenting or educating gifted children. Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students: Helping Kids Cope With Explosive Feelings provides a much-needed resource for parents and educators for understanding of why gifted children are so extreme in their behavior and how to manage the highs and lows that accompany emotional intensity. Presented in an easy-to-read, conversational style, this revised and updated second edition contains additional chapters addressing temperament and personality development, as well as expanded role-plays and strategies designed to show parents and teachers how to interact and guide gifted children in a way that teaches them how to recognize, monitor, and adjust their behavior. Updated resources and worksheets make this practical resource a must-read for anyone wishing to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of gifted children.

Amazing! As I read this book I would find the answers to all the "whys" y asked myself in regards to my highly cognitively gifted son's very bewildering behavior responses to stressful situations. I was also able to understand my highly gifted students' apparently demanding and exacting behaviors and how to respond to them in a way to provide guidance. These kids have emotional needs and sensitivities that most kids do not experience, therefore, they need to be supported by understanding and caring adults if we want to harness all their potential to advance our society. This book is an essential read for those who want to make a difference in gifted kids' lives and who dream of channeling their potential to improve our world.The text is well organized and easy to understand. I recommend it to parents and teachers.Eye opening I am blessed with two highly capable children. Now that they are 8 and 10, i just finished has book and FINALLY feel that I understand the root causes of their struggles and challenges, and have tools at hand to help all of us survive this adventure! In fact, I think we will come out in great shape, thanks largely to this book. If your kid is consistently boggling your mind at their maturity and abilities combined with incredibly intense emotions (dramatically out of proportion to the circumstances, much of the time), take the time to read this! It’s very important that you do!Brilliant theory. Totally unrealistic advice. Impractical. Awkward language. The longer I read it the more dissatisfied I became with this book. Initially I was very pleased. I am ultimately glad I bought it and read it, mainly because it gave me a new way to think about my son. The concepts and the way it prompts you to conceive of your children are all fundamentally good. The book itself is entirely too short on translating this knowledge into practical action.There are case studies, and I like them. I like the range of the behaviours and symptoms in the archetypal children. The problem is that the case studies often say "After a family meeting, the parents gained some really subtle insight...". What is missing is the process the parents followed to reach that subtle insight. What questions did they ask? What answers did they get? How did those answers yield that insight? The scenarios often contain overly simplistic resolutions that sound like "they made some changes and everything got much better." There is no exploration of the changes the parents tried that didn't work, how they could recognise that it didn't work, and how they picked something new until they hit on the right technique. No change is a magic wand that works perfectly on the first try. Life isn't so simple that when you do the right thing, you'll do it correctly on the first try and it will be obvious that you've done the right thing. Too many of the resolutions are presented as a fait accompli, or perhaps obvious with hindsight.Many of the "worksheets" involve a series of yes/no questions or questions that have 2 discreet answers ("Is your discipline positive or punitive?"). There is no discussion of "If you answered yes to question 2, this might indicate X, Y, or Z." These worksheets also ask pretty unsubtle questions like "Is your discipline effective?". Which parent, reading a book about coping with children, is thinking "Yeah, I got that all sorted out"? So given that the parent is probably answering "no", why are we asking the question at all? A "worksheet" needs some guidance on how to interpret and respond to the answers that you give. Frankly, I doubt that a series of yes/no questions, especially with no guidance on how to interpret the answers, will give me a sophisticated understanding of the problems in my household. At best it prompts a bunch of unstructured thinking as I ultimately consider lots of my behaviour and try to cook it down to a "yes" or a "no". And questions like "How do you contribute to the household?" are not great questions to ask a child (from the "Child's Household Inventory" worksheet). We need to ask children lots of other, simpler questions and use their answers to derive the answer of how they contribute to the household.There is text that appears in boxes sprinkled throughout the various chapters. Most of that text feels like it was copy/pasted from a PowerPoint presentation, perhaps a talk given at a conference of educators or psychologists. They are bullet points with typical presentation-style grammar and they don't stand alone. They need narrative to make sense of them—narrative that the book often lacks. Rather than present some bullet points in a checklist, and then explain each one in detail, the bullet points are often just presented on their own.I find the book a bit repetitive, too. Sometimes it is even consciously repetitive using phrases like "...as I already said...". The farther I got into the book, the faster I was reading. I started skimming more.There are a lot of sterile and business-like expressions and suggestions. The "family meeting" could not be more dreadful. It reads like a business meeting and lacks any acknowledgement of the messy, emotional, complicated interactions we all have. It is hopelessly simplistic and offers no suggestions about how to do it successfully or hints at what difficulties you might encounter in having them. My 8-year-old does not come to a "meeting" with the attitude my 38-year-old colleagues do. So advice like "build an agenda with the children's input" need a lot more fleshing out than that one, bald statement. And some of the sterile, clinical language really takes away from the practicality of trying the suggestions. In describing what the parents did in one of the scenarios, the book says "his parents initiated contact with school personnel". In other words "his parents called his teacher." The vaulted language makes it sound much more complicated than it really is and it creates unnecessary cognitive distance between the reader and the suggestions.You will want other books to fill in the areas that this book glosses over. You'll want separate books on relaxation techniques, helping children recognise emotions, label them, and cope with them, and how to run "family meetings" (if you go that route). This book motivates all those things and puts them in context, but gives you a very incomplete picture of how to do them well.Finally, the kindle version is riddled with spelling errors ("dimculties"?), hyphenation errors, spacing errors and more. As an author myself, I find that very distracting.
