Download or read book You re Wearing That written by Deborah Tannen and published by Random House. This book was released on 2006-01-24 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deborah Tannen's #1 New York Times bestseller You Just Don’t Understand revolutionized communication between women and men. Now, in her most provocative and engaging book to date, she takes on what is potentially the most fraught and passionate connection of women’s lives: the mother-daughter relationship. It was Tannen who first showed us that men and women speak different languages. Mothers and daughters speak the same language–but still often misunderstand each other, as they struggle to find the right balance between closeness and independence. Both mothers and daughters want to be seen for who they are, but tend to see the other as falling short of who she should be. Each overestimates the other’s power and underestimates her own. Why do daughters complain that their mothers always criticize, while mothers feel hurt that their daughters shut them out? Why do mothers and daughters critique each other on the Big Three–hair, clothes, and weight–while longing for approval and understanding? And why do they scrutinize each other for reflections of themselves? Deborah Tannen answers these and many other questions as she explains why a remark that would be harmless coming from anyone else can cause an explosion when it comes from your mother or your daughter. She examines every aspect of this complex dynamic, from the dark side that can shadow a woman throughout her life, to the new technologies like e-mail and instant messaging that are transforming mother-daughter communication. Most important, she helps mothers and daughters understand each other, the key to improving their relationship. With groundbreaking insights, pitch-perfect dialogues, and deeply moving memories of her own mother, Tannen untangles the knots daughters and mothers can get tied up in. Readers will appreciate Tannen’s humor as they see themselves on every page and come away with real hope for breaking down barriers and opening new lines of communication. Eye-opening and heartfelt, You’re Wearing That? illuminates and enriches one of the most important relationships in our lives. “Tannen analyzes and decodes scores of conversations between moms and daughters. These exchanges are so real they can make you squirm as you relive the last fraught conversation you had with your own mother or daughter. But Tannen doesn't just point out the pitfalls of the mother-daughter relationship, she also provides guidance for changing the conversations (or the way that we feel about the conversations) before they degenerate into what Tannen calls a mutually aggravating spiral, a "self-perpetuating cycle of escalating responses that become provocations." – The San Francisco Chronicle

Download or read book The Social Ecology of Resilience written by Michael Ungar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-08 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than two decades after Michael Rutter (1987) published his summary of protective processes associated with resilience, researchers continue to report definitional ambiguity in how to define and operationalize positive development under adversity. The problem has been partially the result of a dominant view of resilience as something individuals have, rather than as a process that families, schools,communities and governments facilitate. Because resilience is related to the presence of social risk factors, there is a need for an ecological interpretation of the construct that acknowledges the importance of people’s interactions with their environments. The Social Ecology of Resilience provides evidence for this ecological understanding of resilience in ways that help to resolve both definition and measurement problems.

Download or read book JFK Revisited written by James DiEugenio and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Oliver Stone's documentary, JFK Revisited, read the transcripts and interviews that will change the way you think about the John F. Kennedy assassination. JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass contains the two working original screenplays for Oliver Stone’s JFK Revisited; both the two-hour version, Through the Looking Glass, and the four-hour version, Destiny Betrayed. These films are the first documentaries to feature the work of the Assassination Records Review Board. The Assassination Records Review Board worked from 1994–98 releasing records that the government has classified in whole or in part on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. They ended up releasing about two million pages or approximately sixty thousand documents. They also pursued an investigation into the autopsy and medical evidence in the JFK case. Although their releases and discoveries were quite important to the evidentiary record, they received very little exposure in the mainstream media. They also released documents relating to Kennedy’s foreign policy in both Cuba and Vietnam. In the former case, these were plans by the Pentagon to create a pretext to invade Cuba. In the latter, documents proved Kennedy was implementing a withdrawal plan from Vietnam. This book is unprecedented. It contains a compendium of information originating from the widest range of authorities on the JFK case ever assembled. This includes luminaries from several fields: pathology, surgery, ballistics, criminal investigation, neurology, history, and journalism. Never before have people like forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht, criminalist Henry Lee, Professor James Galbraith, author David Talbot, journalist Jefferson Morley, intelligence analyst John Newman, Professor Robert Rakove, and more appeared in one book; never have this many illustrious authorities been interviewed about their views on the policies and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The book also includes important witness interviews with Dr. Donald Miller about his colleague Malcolm Perry, Jim Gochenaur of the Church Committee, and Edwin McGehee of both the House Select Committee on Assassinations and the Jim Garrison investigation. The combination of this newly released information plus expert interviews changed the database and calculus of the JFK case. The scripts are included in this book, which were the backbone for Oliver Stone's films. It also includes important excerpts from the many interviews which did not make it into the final cuts of the films. JFK Revisited will challenge everything you thought you know about the JFK assassination.

Download or read book The Last of the Soul Searchers written by David W. Ashby and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaun MacGregor is a complex man who struggles with alcoholism and relationships with women. He becomes involved in a battle for the control of Earth. Groomed by his mentor, John Running Bull, Shaun assists the alien Arcturians in saving humanity from the evil Annunaki. With his psychic abilities, Shaun mediates the transformation of evil humans controlled by the Annunaki, changing monsters into harmless clones by presenting them to the Arcturians for adjustments to their souls. Shaun’s stepfather, Mike “Mad Dog” MacGregor, who appears as a human, is the supreme leader of the Annunaki. A retired Air Force colonial, Mad Dog plots to wipe out humanity, so that his people may colonize Earth. The colonel has long viewed Shaun as his nemesis because Shaun is a Nephilim--half human and half Arcturian. He soon threatens Shaun’s existence. With the help of John Running Bull and the ex-Annunaki cyborg Bart, Shaun, and his new love interest Vicki kayak sixty miles to the point deep in the Red River Gorge area in Eastern Kentucky where they are extracted to safety. Along the way down the river, the group experiences many dangers, including learning of the Annunaki’s plan to wipe out humanity by transforming the Earth’s atmosphere so that it is unable to support human life by replacing oxygen with methane gas and carbon dioxide, perfect for the Annunaki. Human activities such as hydraulic fracturing and fossil fuel consumption have long been wrecking the Earth, but the process is taking too long. Nubira, home planet of the Annunaki, is rapidly being destroyed as their sun turns into a supernova. In addition to speeding up the destruction of the planet, Mad Dog MacGregor urges his cohorts to release a virus via their Annunaki Manchurian candidate in Wuhan, China, thus expediting the complete demise of the human species. Extraction is complete when Shaun and Vicki escape by jumping off Seventy Six Falls near Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. There the pair are forced into a wormhole that deposits them into the decade of the 1950s. Such time travel is the Arcturians’ version of a cosmic witness protection plan. When Shaun and Vicki arrive in the 50s, their identities are altered, but not their souls. Shaun becomes a famous writer and uses his influence for good. Finally, Shaun makes it back to the year 2020, and is faced with horrors that threaten his sanity, and threatens his ability to protect humanity from the evils of the Annunaki. Will Shaun survive long enough to save the planet, or will he become just another instrument in the Annunaki conquest of earth.

Book excerpt: Bringing new focus to the subject, THE INVISIBLE WEB investigates the family from a feminist perspective. Using the lens of gender, connections between mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, and husbands and wives are analyzed and given new meaning. The authors evaluate and redefine family transitions such as divorce, single-parent and female-headed households, and remarried couples who are attempting to integrate their respective children with ex-spouses and complicated networks of extended kin. They also reexamine traditional and emerging roles for women in their early, middle, and later years. Written in an engaging format, each chapter features an in depth analysis of how gender shapes the relationship in question. This discussion is followed by fascinating vignettes of actual cases from each of the four authors, whose approaches reflect different orientations to therapy. Based on the work of the Women's Project in Family Therapy which won the 1986 AFTA Award for Distinguished Contribution to Family Therapy, this groundbreaking work is an excellent text for courses in family therapy and women's studies, an invaluable guide for mental health practitioners, and an insightful read for anyone who wishes to explore the invisible web of gender patterns in families.
