Why Mars & Venus Collide: Improving Relationships by Understanding how Men and Women Cope Differently with Stress by John Gray helps men and women understand stress triggers. "Mars and Venus often collide because they fail to appreciate the stress their partners face or understand their means of coping. Drawing on research that explains how physiology and biochemistry trigger different responses to stress in women and men, Gray analyzes typical conflicts and how they can be defused. When a man, after a stressful day, wants to veg out in front of the TV, he is not rejecting his wife. Rather, he is replenishing his depleted testosterone. And when a woman wants to talk about her day, she is not being a nag. It's just her way of replenishing her cuddle hormone, oxytocin." - from Booklist and PW reviews.

April Services News
National Autism Awareness Month
On March 29, 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its estimate of autism prevalence in the United States to 1 in 88 children (1 in 54 boys and 1 in 252 girls). By comparison, this is more children than are affected by diabetes, AIDS, cancer, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy or Down syndrome – combined. Autism Speaks' multi-year Ad Council public service advertising campaign stresses the importance of recognizing the early signs of autism and seeking early intervention services.

In April we celebrate National Poetry Month when publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools and poets around the country band together to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. Come by Waggoner and check out a volume of poetry.
National Humor Month (also celebrated in April) was founded in 1976 by best-selling humorist Larry Wilde, Director of The Carmel Institute of Humor. It is designed to heighten public awareness on how the joy and therapeutic value of laughter can improve health, boost morale, increase communication skills and enrich the quality of one's life.
