Dear Mirror

ISBN: 9781088500224
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Do you know the value of a human life? Do you know the value of YOUR human life? Do you desperately try to make yourself disappear - to fit in to the point you no longer recognize yourself? You've endured a lot. Your struggles do not define you, though they did help create you. You are confident but unsure, too. You are bright and full of ideas but sometimes life gets the best of you. You want to be a better version of yourself. You want to understand why those things happened. You long to make sense of it all. You want to be an uplifting force for your family and friends. You get overwhelmed sometimes in this noisy, fast-paced society. You are kind but you are not weak. You want others to know that you are more than what you've been through. You just want to feel known - most of all by yourself. Dear Mirror is dedicated to anyone seeking the courage to rediscover who they are. Broken into four parts: Convex, Refraction, Concave, and Reflection, this collection of poetry and prose explores some of life's most difficult challenges - mental health issues, relationship struggles, and societal standards. Dear Mirror is a book of empowerment poetry that will guide the reader to the true power that comes with hope, perseverance, and owning one's true identity by embracing genuine self-acceptance and self-love.

Reflections on the Dark Water
Author: M. P. Jones
Publisher: Gnu Arts Incorporated
ISBN: 9780996683913
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
This collection takes as its subjects loss and memory in the landscapes and wild spaces of the American South, connecting and weaving personal losses with the larger threads of ecological disruption and environmental degradation. These poems seek wildness in industrial, pastoral, rural, and urban places--places neither wholly sacred nor fully desecrated. Memories of growing up in Alabama and surviving family tragedy all push the speaker outward, seeking connections with "that other world" outside ourselves. Praise for Reflections on the Dark Water: Reflections on the Dark Water concerns itself with memory and myth, how the bridge between the two--how the line where they intersect--is the irrevocable location of history. M.P. Jones crosses that bridge, that line over and again in poems that view the past in order to make sense of the present. This is a book that wants to separate "truth from chaff." --Jericho Brown, author of The New Testament

Genetic Reflections

Pages : 64
Book Description
Genetic Reflections - A Coloring Book aims to inspire young students and the public to explore the beauty of science and genetics. The organisms in this book are considered 'model' organisms, as they are widely studied in laboratories with hopes to understand human biology, disease pathologies, and ways to improve agricultural crops. Despite the great differences in shape and size, on the genetic level there are lots of similarities.In every species, DNA sequences consist of the same four building blocks (G, C, A, and T). However, slight changes in their use, even in the same gene, can occur in each species. The way our bodies and cells work are well conserved throughout evolution, even in species that may look very different from us. The beauty of our world, even on the cellular level, is apparent.Genetic Reflections - A Coloring Book is a collaboration between Ahna Skop, Elif Kurt and Caitlin Marks; two UW-Madison undergraduate Skop Lab members. This coloring book is the outcome of a year-long independent study in Life Sciences Communication with goals to broadly disseminate the Genetic Reflections scientific glass art installation created by Angela Johnson and Ahna Skop.Part of the proceeds of this book will be donated to charities and programs that support STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) educational innovations or public outreach events.

The Political Philosophy of James Madison
Author: Garrett Ward Sheldon
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 9780801871061
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Tracing the history of Madison's thought to his early education in Protestant theology, Sheldon argues that it was a fear of the potential "tyranny of the majority" over individual rights, along with a firmly Calvinist suspicion of the motives of sinful men, that led him to support a constitution creating a strong central government with power over state laws. In this way, Madison aimed to protect individual liberties and provide checks to "spiteful" human interests and selfish parochial prejudices.
