Meet Katie. She’s a “big four.” Like any four-year-old knows, that’s when you get ready for Kindergarten. Something she didn’t know is that she would need glasses. But, who does she know that wears glasses? Lots of People Wear Glasses is the story of Katie and her journey into her new identity with glasses, and is for children of all ages who have ever struggled with feeling different.

However, Jensen does not draw back from its most controversial conclusions - that the average differences in IQ and other abilities found between sexes and racial groups have a substantial hereditary component, and that these differences have important societal consequences.

This revolutionary new look at vision will broaden your understanding of how you see and how you can see without your glasses or contact lenses. Take Off Your Glasses and See shows you how to free yourself from the crutch of prescription lenses, to build your self-confidence and awareness, and to open up your inner and outer vision in order to see more clearly. Jacob Liberman, an internationally recognized authority on holistic vision care, explains how most vision problems are the result of an unconscious decision to "close your eyes" to emotional discomfort or pain, and how increasingly powerful corrective lenses only encourage eyesight to withdraw even further. By removing lenses and practicing breath- and movement-awareness techniques to shift your perception, you can reintegrate the original disruption in the mind/body system. Dr. Liberman’s approach can help you join the thousands who have escaped from the self-defeating cycle of poor vision.

Wearing glasses for the first time doesn't have to be scary. Readers learn what it's like to wear glasses and how it helps improve one's vision. The sensitive tone promotes acceptance and understanding of those who wear glasses, helping young readers become more empathetic toward their peers. It is also relatable for those who already wear glasses and is comforting to those preparing to receive their first pair of glasses. The illustrated characters, such as "Ernie Eyeball" and "Lucy Lens," educational fact boxes, and an informative glossary enhance this volume and make learning about everyday science and technology topics fun.
