Figuring Shit Out
Author: Amy Biancolli
Publisher: Behler Publications, LLC
ISBN: 1933016469
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
"Your life isn't over." My dad says this. "I mean, YOUR life isn't over. Beyond the kids. You'll go on living, doing things. This isn't it." I know, I assure him. I have the kids. They need me. They're my life now. "OK," he replies, then grunts—more of a brief hum. He only hums when he thinks I'm full of shit. Shockingly single. Amy Biancolli's life went off script more dramatically than most after her husband of twenty years jumped off the roof of a parking garage. Left with three children, a three-story house, and a pile of knotty psychological complications, Amy realizes the flooding dishwasher, dead car battery, rapidly growing lawn, basement sump pump, and broken doorknob aren't going to fix themselves. She also realizes that "figuring shit out" means accepting the horrors that came her way, rolling with them, slogging through them, helping others through theirs, and working her way through life with love and laughter. Amy Biancolli is an author and journalist whose column appears in the Albany Times Union. Before that, Amy served as film critic for the Houston Chronicle where her reviews, published around the country, won her the 2007 Comment and Criticism Award from the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors Association. Biancolli is the author of House of Holy Fools: A Family Portrait in Six Cracked Parts, which earned her Albany Author of the Year. Amy lives in Albany, New York, with her three children.

History of Shit
Author: Dominique Laporte
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262621601
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
"A brilliant account of the politics of shit. It will leave you speechless." Written in Paris after the heady days of student revolt in May 1968 and before the devastation of the AIDS epidemic, History of Shit is emblematic of a wild and adventurous strain of 1970s' theoretical writing that attempted to marry theory, politics, sexuality, pleasure, experimentation, and humor. Radically redefining dialectical thought and post-Marxist politics, it takes an important—and irreverent—position alongside the works of such postmodern thinkers as Foucault, Deleuze, Guattari, and Lyotard. Laporte's eccentric style and ironic sensibility combine in an inquiry that is provocative, humorous, and intellectually exhilarating. Debunking all humanist mythology about the grandeur of civilization, History of Shit suggests instead that the management of human waste is crucial to our identities as modern individuals—including the organization of the city, the rise of the nation-state, the development of capitalism, and the mandate for clean and proper language. Far from rising above the muck, Laporte argues, we are thoroughly mired in it, particularly when we appear our most clean and hygienic. Laporte's style of writing is itself an attack on our desire for "clean language." Littered with lengthy quotations and obscure allusions, and adamantly refusing to follow a linear argument, History of Shit breaks the rules and challenges the conventions of "proper" academic discourse.

Full of Shit
Author: Ellen Rozman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780999743904
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
For Ellen Rozman, good, even great, was never good enough. Fear of failure consumed her thoughts, so she pushed herself to outperform even her highest expectations. An avid triathlete, runner, and group fitness instructor, Ellen's passion for exercise grew into addiction--the harder, better, faster, stronger mentality dominated as her belly bloated in rebellion. She became obsessed with clean eating, blaming her bowel issues on everything she put into her mouth. Ignoring her symptoms, Ellen continued to ramp up her training and refine her food choices until a midnight trip to the ER and a lifesaving surgery literally stopped her in her tracks. Yet her digestive issues persisted. Ellen consulted a plethora of practitioners, and after months of cluelessness and catastrophes, she came to an unexpected realization: gut health plays a huge part in the internal motivations for our actions. And to heal, vulnerability and self-compassion play a predominant role in the prescription. Full of Shit, Ellen's hellish yet hilarious tale of healing, is a brutally honest, raw, and enlightening exploration of the gut-brain connection. It's the story of a woman learning to trust herself, her intuition, and her body telling her what she did not want to hear.

Book Description
WHO GIVES A SH*T is, quite possibly, the most honest book written in the last one thousand years. The book's title reflects one of the most common remarks thought by people or muttered under their breath when someone says or does something that doesn't mean a damn to them. Admit it. The phrase, "Who Gives A Shit," is on the tip of your tongue several times a day. And if you had just a little bit more guts, you'd look someone squarely in the eye and scream, "Who Gives A Shit." Well, now, we've made it easy for you to express what's on your mind without saying a word. When someone says or does something that doesn't mean a damn to you, simply hold up this book's cover and flash it at them. It has been field-tested to be readable from a distance of forty-seven feet. On the slim chance that this book does not appeal to you, we have only one thing to say: WHO GIVES A SHIT.
