Warrior Girls
Author: Michael Sokolove
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416579621
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Amy Steadman was destined to become one of the great women's soccer players of her generation. "The best of the best," Parade magazine called her as she left high school and headed off to the University of North Carolina. Instead, by age twenty, Amy had undergone five surgeries on her right knee. She had to give up the sport she loved. She walked with a stiff gait, like an elderly woman, and found it painful to get out of bed in the morning. Warrior Girls exposes the downside of the women's sports revolution that has evolved since Title IX: an injury epidemic that is easily ignored because we worry that it will threaten our daughters' hard-won opportunities on the field. From teenage girls playing local soccer, basketball, lacrosse, volleyball, and other sports to women competing at the elite level, female athletes are suffering serious injuries at alarming rates. The numbers are frightening and irrefutable. Young female athletes tear their ACLs, the stabilizing ligament in the knee, at rates as high as eight times greater than their male counterparts. Women's collegiate soccer players suffer concussions at the same rate as college football players. From head to toe, female athletes suffer higher rates of injury, and many of them play through constant pain. Michael Sokolove gives us the most up-to-date research on girls and sports injuries. He takes us into the homes and hearts of female athletes, into operating theaters where orthopedic surgeons reconstruct shredded knees, and onto the practice field of famed University of North Carolina soccer coach Anson Dorrance. Exhaustively researched and strongly argued, Warrior Girls is an urgent wake-up call for parents and coaches. Sokolove connects the culture of youth sports -- the demands for girls to specialize in a single sport by age ten or younger, and to play it year-round -- directly to the injury epidemic. Devoted to the ideal of team, and deeply bonded with teammates, these tough girls don't want to leave the field even when confronted with serious injury and chronic pain. Warrior Girls shows how girls can train better and smarter to decrease their risks. It makes clear that parents must come together and demand changes to a sports culture that manufactures injuries. Well-documented, opinionated, and controversial, Warrior Girls shows that all girls can safeguard themselves on the field without sacrificing their hard-won right to be there.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Available once again for a new generation of readers, the groundbreaking and candid coming-of-age novel in-real-time from one of America's most celebrated poets that is considered a cult classic. In this breathtakingly inventive autobiographical novel, Eileen Myles transforms life into a work of art. Told in her audacious voice, made vivid and immediate in her lyrical language, Chelsea Girls cobbles together memories of Myles’ 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, her volatile adolescence, her unabashed “lesbianity,” and her riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s New York. Suffused with alcohol, drugs, and sex; evocative in its depictions of the hardscrabble realities of a young artist’s life; and poignant with stories of love, humor, and discovery, Chelsea Girls is a funny, cool, and intimate account of a writer’s education, and a modern chronicle of how a young female writer shrugged off the chains of a rigid cultural identity meant to define her.

Book Description
She believed in angels. Soon everyone will. Is one gleamer enough to confront the Murk head-on in this third installment of the Sheena Meyer series? In The Girl Who Spoke to the Wind, Sheena fought against thoughts of fear and defeat--mind games used by the Murk to make her lose hope. She and her friends faced Luke Tobias and risked their lives to save Dingy and the missing children. But it's clear the fight against the Murk has just begun. Sheena sees the Murk everywhere; at her school dance and in her classroom. Only this time, someone else sees it too. If angels are with her, Sheena can't tell. She hasn't received a text or any form of contact from her angel. It worries her so much that she's having nightmares and believes she is no longer a gleamer. She turns to the Lumen for answers, the strange book left to her by Mr. Tobias. It's written in a language only she can decipher and unfolds a destiny she's not ready to accept. At that back are blank pages that fill as the Murk gets stronger. Sheena fears there's no hope. Can she figure out what the "Brilliant light" is that the Lumen speaks of in time to save her friends? The Girl Who Captured the Sun is the third book in the Sheena Meyer adventure series. It's a perfect fit for readers who love fast-moving page-turners with memorable characters.
