How to be both
Author: Ali Smith

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
MAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST • A novel all about art's versatility, borrowing from painting’s fresco technique to make an original literary double-take. "Cements Smith’s reputation as one of the finest and most innovative of our contemporary writers. By some divine alchemy, she is both funny and moving; she combines intellectual rigor with whimsy" —The Los Angeles Review of Books One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century How to be both is a fast-moving genre-bending conversation between forms, times, truths and fictions. There’s a Renaissance artist of the 1460s. There’s the child of a child of the 1960s. Two tales of love and injustice twist into a singular yarn where time gets timeless, structural gets playful, knowing gets mysterious, fictional gets real—and all life’s givens get given a second chance. Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive and scrupulously playful, Ali Smith’s novels are like nothing else. A NOTE TO THE READER: Who says stories reach everybody in the same order? This novel can be read in two ways, and the eBook provides you with both. You can choose which way to read the novel by simply clicking on one of two icons—CAMERA or EYES. The text is exactly the same in both versions; the narratives are just in a different order. The ebook is produced this way so that readers can randomly have different experiences reading the same text. So, depending on which icon you select, the book will read: EYES, CAMERA, or CAMERA, EYES. (Your friend may be reading it the other way around.) Enjoy the adventure. (Having both versions in the same file is intentional.)

Born Both
Author: Hida Viloria
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0316347817
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
From one of the world's foremost intersex activists, a candid, provocative, and eye-opening memoir of gender identity, self-acceptance, and love. My name is Hida Viloria. I was raised as a girl but discovered at a young age that my body looked different. Having endured an often turbulent home life as a kid, there were many times when I felt scared and alone, especially given my attraction to girls. But unlike most people in the first world who are born intersex--meaning they have genitals, reproductive organs, hormones, and/or chromosomal patterns that do not fit standard definitions of male or female--I grew up in the body I was born with because my parents did not have my sex characteristics surgically altered at birth. It wasn't until I was twenty-six and encountered the term intersex in a San Francisco newspaper that I finally had a name for my difference. That's when I began to explore what it means to live in the space between genders--to be both and neither. I tried living as a feminine woman, an androgynous person, and even for a brief period of time as a man. Good friends would not recognize me, and gay men would hit on me. My gender fluidity was exciting, and in many ways freeing--but it could also be isolating. I had to know if there were other intersex people like me, but when I finally found an intersex community to connect with I was shocked, and then deeply upset, to learn that most of the people I met had been scarred, both physically and psychologically, by infant surgeries and hormone treatments meant to "correct" their bodies. Realizing that the invisibility of intersex people in society facilitated these practices, I made it my mission to bring an end to it--and became one of the first people to voluntarily come out as intersex at a national and then international level. Born Both is the story of my lifelong journey toward finding love and embracing my authentic identity in a world that insists on categorizing people into either/or, and of my decades-long fight for human rights and equality for intersex people everywhere.

Trace with Both Hands. Big Book with Neuro-Exercises for Developing Interhemispheric Interaction
Author: Helen Winter
Publisher: Helen Winter
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
Bilateral coordination, also known as bilateral integration, is the ability to use both sides of the body in a coordinated movement. It includes symmetrical movements, where both sides of the body do the same action simultaneously, reciprocal movements, where movements are rhythmically repeated with one side of the body and then another, and movements that require a leading and supporting hand. Interhemispheric interaction is the coordination of both the right and left hemispheres of the brain. While the right side of the brain manages attention, processing of visual shapes and patterns, emotions, and implied meanings, the left side is responsible for logical functions. A proper balance and efficient exchange between the right and left sides of our brains allows us to perform maximally in our multifunctional world. A lack of proper interhemispheric interaction can result in difficulties in the: writing and speaking & handwriting practice development spatial orientation remembering and recalling information performing tasks that require both hands (putting on clothes for example) speech and motor planning disorders mathematical and counting skills solving spatial problems balance and orientation life activities requiring the use of both hands brain challenges as a dysgraphia tool for kids Many gross and fine motor everyday activities require good bilateral coordination – from dancing and sports to using utensils and drawing. There is a correlation between bilateral motor skills and academic success. The coordination exercises may stimulate thinking and paying attention. The tracing exercises in this album can be used to strengthen neural connections to ensure that both the left and right sides of the brain are appropriately coordinated. These kinesiological exercises are based on three basic principles of strengthening interhemispheric connections: 1. Diversity, when the brain actively develops when we perform unusual activities 2. Simultaneity of action, when both hemispheres participate in the process 3. Working with both hands strengthens neural connections and creates new ones. Healthy interhemispheric connections ensure the proper development of a child's intellect, memory, attention, speech, imagination, thinking, and perception. These exercises work, regardless of which hand is dominant, to develop a sense of symmetry, reduce anxiety, and speed up correcting language and speech dysfunction. The tracing exercises can benefit: • Pupils with learning issues • The Elderly • Those with brain injuries or post-traumatic stress • Musicians • Artists • Sportsmen • Those who require quick decision-making • Anyone who wants to increase their cognitive abilities This book includes 12 types of exercises. Most of them can be done initially by tracing the finger and then with pencils or markers. It is not necessary to do these exercises consecutively. You can do the exercises randomly, but we recommend repeating each exercise several times. The tracing exercises in this book were designed for individuals from age 5 to adults. As you progress through the book, the exercises become more difficult, challenging the brain even further and producing even more benefits.

Both Sides of the Border
Author: Linda Fernandez
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0306479613
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 501
Book Description
The Mexican -- United States border represents much more than the meeting place of two nations. Our border communities are often a line of first defense -- absorbing the complex economic, environmental and social impacts of globalization that ripple through the region. In many ways, our success or failure in finding solutions for the environmental, social and economic issues that plague the region may well define our ability to meet similar challenges thousands of miles from the border zone. Border residents face the environmental security concerns posed by water scarcity and transboundary air pollution; the planning and infrastructure needs of an exploding population; the debilitating effects of inadequate sanitary and health facilities; and the crippling cycle of widespread poverty. Yet, with its manifold problems, the border area remains an area of great dynamism and hope -- a multicultural laboratory of experimentation and grass-roots problem-solving. Indeed, as North America moves towards a more integrated economy, citizen action at the local level is pushing governments to adapt to the driving forces in the border area by creating new institutional arrangements and improving old ones. If there is one defining feature of this ground-up push for more responsive transboundary policies and institutions, it is a departure from the closed, formalistic models of the past to a more open, transparent and participatory model of international interaction.
