The Botany of Desire
Author: Michael Pollan
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0375760393
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
“Pollan shines a light on our own nature as well as on our implication in the natural world.” —The New York Times “A wry, informed pastoral.” —The New Yorker The book that helped make Michael Pollan, the New York Times bestselling author of How to Change Your Mind, Cooked and The Omnivore’s Dilemma, one of the most trusted food experts in America Every schoolchild learns about the mutually beneficial dance of honeybees and flowers: The bee collects nectar and pollen to make honey and, in the process, spreads the flowers’ genes far and wide. In The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan ingeniously demonstrates how people and domesticated plants have formed a similarly reciprocal relationship. He masterfully links four fundamental human desires—sweetness, beauty, intoxication, and control—with the plants that satisfy them: the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato. In telling the stories of four familiar species, Pollan illustrates how the plants have evolved to satisfy humankind’s most basic yearnings. And just as we’ve benefited from these plants, we have also done well by them. So who is really domesticating whom?

Dilemmas of Desire
Author: Deborah L. TOLMAN
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674044363
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Be sexy but not sexual. Don't be a prude but don't be a slut. These are the cultural messages that barrage teenage girls. In movies and magazines, in music and advice columns, girls are portrayed as the object or the victim of someone else's desire--but virtually never as someone with acceptable sexual feelings of her own. What teenage girls make of these contradictory messages, and what they make of their awakening sexuality--so distant from and yet so susceptible to cultural stereotypes--emerges for the first time in frank and complex fashion in Deborah Tolman's Dilemmas of Desire. A unique look into the world of adolescent sexuality, this book offers an intimate and often disturbing, sometimes inspiring, picture of how teenage girls experience, understand, and respond to their sexual feelings, and of how society mediates, shapes, and distorts this experience. In extensive interviews, we listen as actual adolescent girls--both urban and suburban--speak candidly of their curiosity and confusion, their pleasure and disappointment, their fears, defiance, or capitulation in the face of a seemingly imperishable double standard that smiles upon burgeoning sexuality in boys yet frowns, even panics, at its equivalent in girls. As a vivid evocation of girls negotiating some of the most vexing issues of adolescence, and as a thoughtful, richly informed examination of the dilemmas these girls face, this readable and revealing book begins the critical work of understanding the sexuality of young women in all its personal, social, and emotional significance.

Book Description
“Have you been Aleatha’d?” “Aleatha is back, better than ever...” Six Chick Book Blog Web of Sin Books 1 - 3 is the deliciously intriguing collection that includes: SECRETS, LIES, and PROMISES. Welcome to the Sparrow Web world, Sterling Sparrow and Araneae McCrie’s trilogy: SECRETS: Sterling Sparrow has waited nearly two decades to claim his queen, the woman born to rule beside him. His wait is over. Lured back to the city she'd been warned to never return, Kennedy is offered something she never knew existed, knowledge about herself. Will she listen to a decades-old wise-tale or will she learn her own secrets? LIES: I am... That’s no longer an easy statement. Who am I? Since Sterling Sparrow, a man so handsome he takes my breath away and so infuriating he pushes me in ways I’ve never known, came barreling into my life, I can’t even finish that simple statement. In twenty-six years I’ve lived three lives—been three different people. Renee. Kennedy. And now, Araneae. They say that I was named after the spider to make me resilient. Sparrow would then be a bird. Birds eat spiders. I prefer to consider myself a cat. It ups my chance of surviving the world I’m now living. Maybe that’s only wishful thinking because according to Sterling, my number of lives is running out. There are people who want to harm me, to learn the secrets they claim that I possess. The only person to offer me protection is Sterling Sparrow. PROMISES: The dramatic conclusion to the Web of Sin trilogy is here. Araneae McCrie has lived her entire life without knowing the truth. Deceived by so many, is Sterling Sparrow able to keep his promise? Even if he does, will it be too much? What promises should be kept and which ones should be left in the dark? The twisted and intriguing storytelling that you loved in Consequences and Infidelity continues with the epic trilogy, Web of Sin, by New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.
