Book Description
The debut book from a celebrated artist on the urgent topic of street harassment Every day, all over the world, women are catcalled and denigrated simply for walking down the street. Boys will be boys, women have been told for generations, ignore it, shrug it off, take it as a compliment. But the harassment has real consequences for women: in the fear it instills and the shame they are made to feel. In Stop Telling Women to Smile, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh uses her arresting street art portraits to explore how women experience hostility in communities that are supposed to be homes. She addresses the pervasiveness of street harassment, its effects, and the kinds of activism that can serve to counter it. The result is a cathartic reckoning with the aggression women endure, and an examination of what equality truly entails.

Raising a Rare Girl
Author: Heather Lanier
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525559655
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
“A remarkable book . . . I found myself thinking that all expectant and new parents should read it.” —Michelle Slater A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice In Raising a Rare Girl, Lanier explores how to defy the tyranny of normal and embrace parenthood as a spiritual practice that breaks us open in the best of ways. Like many women of her generation, when Heather Lanier was expecting her first child she did everything by the book in the hope that she could create a SuperBaby, a supremely healthy human destined for a high-achieving future. But her daughter Fiona challenged all of Lanier’s preconceptions. Born with an ultra-rare syndrome known as Wolf-Hirschhorn, Fiona received a daunting prognosis: she would experience significant developmental delays and might not reach her second birthday. The diagnosis obliterated Lanier’s perfectionist tendencies, along with her most closely held beliefs about certainty, vulnerability, God, and love. With tiny bits of mozzarella cheese, a walker rolled to library story time, a talking iPad app, and a whole lot of pop and reggae, mother and daughter spend their days doing whatever it takes to give Fiona nourishment, movement, and language. Loving Fiona opens Lanier up to new understandings of what it means to be human, what it takes to be a mother, and above all, the aching joy and wonder that come from embracing the unique life of her rare girl.

Book Description
The Key By: Madysen Long The year is 2088 and the world is different. A war killed most of the population and took many of the communities. One community was able to survive and rebuild after the war, this community is called Nova. In it lives a seventeen-year-old girl, Kaia. Five months ago, Kaia lost her parents to a factory fire. She starts to be drawn to a necklace that her mother wore every day and left for her after she died. The only problem is that it is locked away in a memorial for the factory fire victims. She manages to get the necklace from the memorial but ends up in a detention center called the Dome. As she starts her new life at the Dome, she finds new friends and a potential love interest. She also meets the man behind the idea of the Dome. Joseph is a smart, charming, witty, middle-aged man. As she lives her days at the Dome, she realizes that Joseph has a secret agenda that involves her and her deceased mother. She learns that everyone has secrets at the Dome, including Ethan. Kaia starts to learn of her mother’s past projects and how she ties into them. Only the instructions for her mother’s most recent project are now lost. She must fight along with Ethan and her new friends to stop Joseph from harming Nova. Throughout her journey she must dig deep and use her brain to find messages that have been in front of her, her whole life. She must also be brave and selfless as she puts her community first. She must look past surface level information and dig deeper into what her mother has left for her. She once was a young and naive girl that, through the story, becomes a brave fearless young woman. She must fight her own demons to stop Joseph’s evil plan. She must finish what her mother has started for her.

Lifespan

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Brilliant and enthralling.” —The Wall Street Journal A paradigm-shifting book from an acclaimed Harvard Medical School scientist and one of Time’s most influential people. It’s a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we’ve been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan? In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.” This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs—many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger, but actually become younger. Through a page-turning narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites you into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes—such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat—that have been shown to help us live younger and healthier for longer. At once a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future of humankind, Lifespan will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it.
