<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://joannesreadingblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/talking-back-to-facebook.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2630" alt="Talking Back to Facebook" src="http://joannesreadingblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/talking-back-to-facebook.jpg?w=183&#038;h=275" width="183" height="275" /></a>Aside from the occasional Guest Post (usually by my husband which indicates at least a close proximity to the book), I am committed to reading all of the books I write about on my blog. However, this one came across my radar and I thought I would put it out there before reading it, mainly because ironically I am unable to get my hands on a copy. This book looks hugely important for parents and anyone who is interested in how social media affects youth. It has gotten excellent reviews and it&#8217;s not just about Facebook.</p>
<p>Firstly, about the book: &#8220;In this essential book, Steyer-a frequent commentator on national TV and radio- offers an engaging blend of straightforward advice and anecdotes that address what he calls RAP, the major pitfalls relating to kids&#8217; use of media and technology: relationship issues, attention/addiction problems, and the lack of privacy. Instead of shielding children completely from online images and messages, Steyer&#8217;s practical approach gives parents essential tools to help filter content, preserve good relationships with their children, and make common sense, value-driven judgments for kids of all ages.<br />
Not just about Facebook, this comprehensive, no-nonsense guide to the online world, media, and mobile devices belongs in the hands of all parents and educators raising kids in today&#8217;s digital age.&#8221;</p>
<p>Secondly, here is my dilemma in finding a copy. Sometimes it is interesting to see how the publishing world works. In the UK it is available from two online booksellers <strong>only</strong> <strong>in ebook</strong> but not compatible with my Kindle. It is not available at my local UK library nor my library in Canada. <strong>Amazon.com</strong> doesn&#8217;t have the Kindle edition for it, whereas <strong>Amazon.ca</strong> does. This is weird because it is an American author who works for an American company called Common Sense Media. My Kindle is registered for <strong>.com</strong> so <strong>.ca</strong> won&#8217;t sell it to me. The good news if you are in North America, is that hard copies can be found at bookstores (and for Kobo from Chapters), but since I am in UK now I decided to post without reading, get the title out to you, and hope to catch up with a copy later in NA.  Good luck and let me know if you think it&#8217;s good!</p>
