series about women who stood up, spoke up and rose up against the odds!There weren't many women who tried to become doctors when Virginia Apgar went to medical school--but she didn't let that stop her. After a professor discouraged from becoming a surgeon, she became an anesthesiologist instead and created the famous Apgar test to check the health of newborn babies. It's a test that's still used in hospitals across the world today!In this chapter book biography by bestselling author and physician Sayantani DasGupta, readers learn about the amazing life of Virginia Apgar--and how she persisted. Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton! Praise for She Persisted: Virginia Apgar: "A fast-paced tale that will spark curiosity—Dr. Apgar would approve." —Kirkus Reviews "Equally appealing for report writers and readers looking for role models." —BooklistBy Gina Frangello. 2021
"A pathbreaking feminist manifesto, impossible to put down or dismiss. Gina Frangello tells the morally complex story of her adulterous…
relationship with a lover and her shortcomings as a mother, and in doing so, highlights the forces that shaped, silenced, and shamed her: everyday misogyny, puritanical expectations regarding female sexuality and maternal sacrifice, and male oppression." --Adrienne Brodeur, author of Wild GameGina Frangello spent her early adulthood trying to outrun a youth marked by poverty and violence. Now a long-married wife and devoted mother, the better life she carefully built is emotionally upended by the death of her closest friend. Soon, awakened to fault lines in her troubled marriage, Frangello is caught up in a recklessly passionate affair, leading a double life while continuing to project the image of the perfect family. When her secrets are finally uncovered, both her home and her identity will implode, testing the limits of desire, responsibility, love, and forgiveness. Blow Your House Down is a powerful testimony about the ways our culture seeks to cage women in traditional narratives of self-sacrifice and erasure. Frangello uses her personal story to examine the place of women in contemporary society: the violence they experience, the rage they suppress, the ways their bodies often reveal what they cannot say aloud, and finally, what it means to transgress "being good" in order to reclaim your own life.By William J. Bauer Jr., Damon B. Akins. 2021
Before there was such a thing as "California," there were the People and the Land. Manifest Destiny, the Gold Rush,…
and settler colonial society drew maps, displaced Indigenous People, and reshaped the land, but they did not make California. Rather, the lives and legacies of the people native to the land shaped the creation of California. We Are the Land is the first and most comprehensive text of its kind, centering the long history of California around the lives and legacies of the Indigenous people who shaped it. Beginning with the ethnogenesis of California Indians, We Are the Land recounts the centrality of the Native presence from before European colonization through statehood—paying particularly close attention to the persistence and activism of California Indians in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The book deftly contextualizes the first encounters with Europeans, Spanish missions, Mexican secularization, the devastation of the Gold Rush and statehood, genocide, efforts to reclaim land, and the organization and activism for sovereignty that built today’s casino economy. A text designed to fill the glaring need for an accessible overview of California Indian history, We Are the Land will be a core resource in a variety of classroom settings, as well as for casual readers and policymakers interested in a history that centers the native experience.By Pamela Bauer Mueller. 2008
From the book jacket: A year has passed since puppy raiser Diego handed Aloha's harness over to her blind partner…
Kimberly Louise. Now Diego is traveling to Georgia to visit his beloved friend again! This heartwarming story follows the exciting cross-country adventures and moving scenarios of a diverse group of family and friends. Although Aloha is a central figure in this intriguing story, she shares the stage with human actors who make this more than a tale about a blind woman and her guide dog. Learning from the devoted Aloha's example, they discover they are capable of weathering any storm and triumphing over every setback. From the opening chapter where Aloha rescues Kimberly Louise from the wheels of an unseen car, through the consequences of a horrific storm and finally to the riveting last chapter, we identified with the unfolding relationship forged between a blind person and canine partner. We thrilled as teenager Diego evolved from Aloha's puppy raiser to Miss Kimberly Louise's friend and eventually to hero. sequel to Hello, Goodbye, I Love You:By Mark Morri. 2016
John Cobby finally tells his story, 30 years after the murder of his wife, Anita. On 4 February 1986, John…
Cobby's life imploded. He was driving up the coast looking for his missing wife, Anita, when over the radio he heard: 'The body of a naked woman has been found in a paddock in western Sydney.' . . . As details emerged of the rape and murder of the gentle nurse and former beauty queen, outrage engulfed Australia. Five men were caught and, amid unprecedented security, jailed for life. For young reporter Mark Morri, the case was a baptism of fire. Told to 'find the husband', he despaired: Cobby had changed his name and disappeared. But the Daily Mirror found him, and Morri's interviews sold like hotcakes. For nearly 30 years, Morri and Cobby kept in touch. In this book John finally opens up, recounting how he and Anita fell in love, suffered the pain of miscarriage and then went travelling. He also explains why they were apart at the time of the murder. Weaving in chilling material from the autopsy and police files, and interviews with detectives who hunted down the killers, Mark Morri explores the ripple effects of the murder that still shocks a nation.The purpose of this book is to help get kids to not only e at a wider variety of foods...…
but to understand why they need to, and how it will help them feel better and function in a healthier manner. Certainly most parents have heard their child scream that the food is “yucky,” they want candy, “get this off my plate,” or even suggest that they might die if you make them eat it. No More Picky Eater will help your child to see some of the foods that are healthy for our bodies, and become familiar with them and what they look like, even at a young age. It will cover which parts of the body that some foods specifically target, and assist in their healthy function; as well as what could happen to them if they ate only their “favorite food,” even if it is a healthy choice. No More Pick Eater goes into some of the simple or beginning steps of Food Therapy. While Esther is not a food therapist she has been through Food Therapy and other specialized parent trainings, and has observed many of her children while they were working with food therapists. “These things were taught to me in Oregon by specialists,” says Smith. “And as ‘crazy' as some of them seemed to me... I followed their advice and it helped. It wasn't overnight, but through persistence, and trying their suggestions over and over (daily)... it finally worked and they began eating and getting over their food sensitivities, phobias and issues.”By Carol Ann Rinzler. 2021

esculpes con cada una de tus acciones. Además, investigaciones recientes afirman que no solo tiene la capacidad de cambiar, sino que lo hace constantemente. Cada experiencia vital moldea detalles microscópicos de tu esencia neuronal. Lo que haces altera lo que eres. El objetivo de este libro es ayudarte a entender mejor su funcionamiento, pero sobre todo, enseñarte a mejorarlo. Cuidar de tu cerebro no solo te ayudará a prevenir trastornos como la demencia, el alzéimer o el párkinson, sinó también a rendir mejor en tu día a día. La salud del cerebro depende de la del resto del cuerpo, y no podemos optimizar su funcionamiento sin entender antes cómo influyen en él la dieta, la actividad física o el estrés ni considerar la estrecha relación entre nuestra microbiota y nuestro estado de ánimo así como el impacto del contacto social en nuestra salud mental. Las recomendaciones de Marcos Vázquez te ayudarán a mejorar tu capacidad de aprender y recordar, a aumentar tu resistencia ante la enfermedad mental, a entender cómo potenciar la plasticidad cerebral y a mejorar tu reserva cognitiva. Posees en tu cabeza el objeto más fascinante que jamás se ha descubierto. Es el momento de desvelar sus misterios y potenciarlo al máximo.By Yolanda Fleta, Jaime Gim nez. 2015
