Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Like so many women, Benoit spent her formative years struggling to do the 'right' thing--to make others comfortable, to take minimal and calculated risks, to live up to society's expectations--only to realize that there was so little payoff to this tiresome balancing act. Now, in [this book], she shares her journey from aspiring good girl to proud feminist, and addresses the constantly shifting goalposts of what exactly it means to be 'good' in today's world. [Includes] topics as varied and laugh-out-loud funny as how to be the life of the party (even when you have crippling anxiety), navigating the disappointments of the dating world, and why no one should judge you for having an encyclopedic knowledge of reality TV stars"--

Download or read book The Playground written by Carmichael Wolfe and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was a child I tried a whole host of things and I always had the full support of my mother, Carmel Armstrong, and she told me that I could do anything that I put my mind to and I believed her and not only did I believe her, but I have also tried to pass this same message on to others as often as I could and especially to children because there's no greater gift that a human being can give to another than the gift of encouragement. And because of the wonderful and magnificent gift of encouragement, I am currently living my dream of being a published author and I have wanted this title ever since I watched my mother sit in front of her typewriter while filling the pages with words and in case you haven't guessed by now my mother was also a writer. The Playground is a gritty Gangster Novel that takes you on a journey through the lives of Sophia and David Bloom; mother and son who are forced to move to a Housing Project that's located on the Eastside of South Central Los Angeles after a family tragedy robs them of their financial well being. And their move takes place just before the rise of Crack Cocaine and before the decline of Heroin and it puts them in direct contact with dirty Cops, F.B.I. Agents, C.I.A. Operatives, Gangsters, Drug Dealers, White Supremacists, Thieving dope fiends of the worst kind, Revolutionaries or Domestic Terrorists if you prefer, and other shady representatives of the United States Government. But that's just the beginning because you see there's an unbelievable twist to the story that you won't believe. And I invite you to learn who Damu is and who Warlock is.

Download or read book Religion Science and Democracy written by Lisa L. Stenmark and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the increasing popularity of “religion and science” as an academic discourse, the intersection of science and religion remains a front line in an ongoing “culture war.” The reasons for this lie in an approach to discourse that closely resembles the model of discourse promoted by John Rawls, in which plural discourse —such as between religion and science— is based on a foundation of shared beliefs and established facts. This leads to a “doctrines and discoveries” approach to the relationship of religion and science, which focuses on their respective truth claims in an attempt to find areas of agreement. This framework inherently privileges scientific perspectives, which actually increases conflict between religion and science, and undermines public discourse by inserting absolutes into it. To the extent that the science and religion discourse adopts this approach, it inadvertently increases the conflict between religion and science and limits our ability to address matters of public concern. This book suggests an alternative model for discourse, a disputational friendship, based on the work of Hannah Arendt. This approach recognizes the role that authorities —and thus religion and science— play in public life, but undermines any attempt to privilege a particular authority, because it promotes the position of the storyteller, who never settles on a single story but always seeks to incorporate many particular stories into her account. A disputational friendship promotes storytelling not by seeking agreement, but by exploring areas of disagreement in order to create the space for more conversations and to generate more stories and additional interpretations. Successful discourse between religion and science is not measured by its ability to determine “truth” or “fact,” but by its ability to continually expand the discourse and promote public life and public judgment.

Download or read book Family Therapy and the Autism Spectrum written by Marilyn J. Monteiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The autism spectrum presents a range of communication, social, and sensory differences that are challenging for clinicians to address. Family Therapy and the Autism Spectrum provides a guide to conceptualizing those differences and ways to discuss them with clients and their families. Readers are provided with narrative examples illustrating the application of key concepts introduced in the text. These case examples address issues that range across the life cycle, from families with young children to ones with teens who are emerging as adults. Using the techniques learned in this book, clinicians will be able to guide families towards their positive autism narrative. This book also features a visual framework to organize the compelling narrative of each person’s autism spectrum pattern of developmental differences or brain style. Using this visual framework and the corresponding descriptive language, clinicians and families can work together to create their "autism conversations." The conversations lead to the transformative experiences of developing competencies, resiliency, and advocacy for individuals and their families. The conversations also lead individuals with spectrum differences to use empowering language, supporting their ability to develop self-advocacy and self-determination skills.

Download or read book Crimson Sheets written by A.M. Bristow and published by A.M. Bristow. This book was released on 2016 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all have that one person for whom our heart will always beat. For Amy, that person is Caleb – charming and sweet, but an incorrigible womanizer. Friends through thick and thin – sometimes more – they’ve known decades of each other's relationships, careers, and experiences. But standing on the sidelines while he’s happy with other people begins to take a toll on Amy. The unfulfilled promise of a future together tears at the seams of her sanity. After finally getting the guy, her walls come crumbling down when she discovers Caleb’s been in a relationship with someone else all along. What begins as simple curiosity about the other woman in his life quickly turns into a spiral of obsession that she can’t seem to escape. Sophia is uninhibited, talented, and funny – but worst of all, she reminds Amy of herself. They have so much in common that they could be the same person. And they’re unexpectedly brought together by the most important thing they share: Caleb. Facilitated – or perhaps fueled – by technology, they peer covertly into each other’s lives. The digital power struggle comes to life in a whirlwind of jealousy, lust, obsession, and hatred. Together, they explore the twisted bond that exists between them. What starts as idle curiosity becomes obsession, which very quickly descends into something much more menacing.
