The Girl at the Baggage Claim
Author: Gish Jen
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1101972068
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Drawing on a trove of personal accounts and cutting-edge research, a “timely and extremely important” book (The Washington Post) from the acclaimed, award-winning author of Thank You, Mr. Nixon that shows how our worldviews are shaped—and what that might mean for the shared future of the United States and China. As East and West become more and more entwined, we also continue to baffle one another. What’s more important—self-sacrifice or self-definition? Do we ultimately answer to something larger than ourselves—a family, a religion, a troop? Or is our mantra “To thine own self be true”? Gish Jen shows how our worldviews are shaped by what cultural psychologists call "independent" and "interdependent" models of selfhood. Coloring what we perceive, remember, do, make, and tell, imbuing everything from our ideas about copying to our conceptions of human rights, these models help explain why the United States produced Apple while China created Alibaba—and what that might mean for our future. As engaging as it is fascinating, The Girl at the Baggage Claim is a book that profoundly transforms our understanding of ourselves and our time.

Pages : 200
Book Description
"The Third Hour is an amazing read." Heather Graham, New York Times Bestselling Author "What a debut." USA Book News Award Winner - Thriller/Adventure Once a devout catholic, Dominic Renzi finds himself at a crossroad in his life and his faith. A priest's last words, whispered to Dominic, pull him back to the church in a way he never expected... And a conspiracy begins to unravel. Dominic unwittingly becomes the center of a complicated maze of the world's unsolved mysteries: Roswell, the Bermuda Triangle, time travel and the crucifixion. With help from inside the U.S. Senate and the Vatican, Dominic struggles to find the truth, save the church... and his life. Can he uncover the truths from the past that shape the present before he is stopped? Perhaps all the answers he seeks have already been found... at The Third Hour. "Don't miss this!" F. Paul Wilson, New York Times Bestselling Author and Creator of Repairman Jack. "The Third Hour is an original spin on the religious-thriller genre, incorporating elements of science fiction along with the religious angle. Dan Brown, Lee Child and James Rollins fans may have just found another author to add to their bookshelf. The strength of The Third Hour lies in its originality, combined with an interesting take on real historical figures, who are made a part of the experiment at the heart of the novel, and the fast pace that builds throughout the story to an - I didn't see that coming - ending."

Luggage
Author: Susan Harlan
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501329316
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. You can't think about travel without thinking about luggage. And baggage has baggage. Susan Harlan takes readers on a journey with the suitcases that support, accessorize, and accompany our lives. Along the way, she shows how the materials of travel - the carry-ons, totes, trunks, and train cases of the past and present - have stories to tell about displacement, home, gender, class, consumption, and labor. Luggage considers bags as carefully curated microcosms of our domestic and professional selves, charting the evolution of travel across literature, film, and art. A simple suitcase, it turns out, contains more than you might think. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
