Book The Mother Blame Game

Download or read book The Mother Blame Game written by Vanessa Reimer and published by Demeter Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mother-Blame Game is an interdisciplinary and intersectional examination of the phenomenon of mother-blame in the twenty-first century. As the socioeconomic and cultural expectations of what constitutes “good motherhood” grow continually narrow and exclusionary, mothers are demonized and stigmatized—perhaps now more than ever—for all that is perceived to go “wrong” in their children’s lives. This anthology brings together creative and scholarly contributions from feminist academics and activists alike to provide a dynamic study of the many varied ways in which mothers are blamed and shamed for their maternal practice. Importantly, it also considers how mothers resist these ideologies by engaging in empowered and feminist mothering practices, as well as by publicly challenging patriarchal discourses of “good motherhood.”

Book The Third Reading

    Book Details:
  • Author : M. S. Evans
  • Publisher : Page Publishing Inc
  • Release : 2022-08-01
  • ISBN : 1642140317
  • Pages : 294 pages

Download or read book The Third Reading written by M. S. Evans and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three of the four central characters of The Third Reading are heirs to an immense fortune. However, they discover that their benefactor has divided the reading of his last will and testament into three sections, each to be read one month apart. Should any of them miss a reading, their share is to be divided between those that remain. You do remember Janice Macauly, the most oftaEUR"quoted psychoanalyst of the eighties and the fiancée of the deceased? But it wasn't always so. You see, although brilliant, she found it next to impossible to become a member of the maleaEUR"dominated club of those times. Disillusioned by their chauvinism, she authored what was to become a best seller entitled Head aEUR" The Male Ego. As if that wasn't enough, she also agreed to an exposé on Head for Playboy Magazine, which was accompanied by a full nude centerfold! "That's the end of that boisterous bitch," the club prophesied. Jan was then, and remains to this day, a stunningly beautiful woman, and she went on to take "Playmate of the Year" honors. Her career was launched. Brian, the newly departed, had inherited several hundred millions of dollars, then through shrewd and barely legal means had soon finagled his way into a billion. He would have gone on destroying careers and devouring the competition had he not met someone who transformed him from a complete parasite into an environmentalist and philanthropist to worthy causes worldwide. That someone was his brother, Robert, who had vanished some two decades earlier. Those years had been spent in India, Africa, the Far East, Central America, and among Native American Indians delving into the metaphysical and spiritual aspects of life. Then there is Doc, Jan's counterpart, who himself was well renowned in analytical circles, but for reasons far different than she. He had become famous in Hollywood, seemingly overnight, by way of a colossal misunderstanding. An athletic sixaEUR"footaEUR"two and bearing a striking resemblance to the cowboys of old, he became the therapist to see in Glitter City. Everyone who was anyone had to have Doc as their shrink. Unfortunately, he hadn't a clue as to what in the hell he was talking about! However, that shortcoming did little to slow the stampede of the rich and famous who clung to his every word. The Third Reading revolves around the lives of these three during the course of one year in which they become intimately intertwined. Along the way you will meet a dozen or so of Doc's patients, including the worldaEUR"renowned attorney who built his fame and fortune defending the rights and privilege of white supremacists around the country. J. W. Brown III never lost a case. He was the master of ceremonies at every convention from LA to New York. The fact that he was black made little difference to John Brown. All he cared about was the green. Make no mistake, this tale goes far beyond psychiatry, metaphysics, and sex. Among many other subjects, it introduces us to an original and scientifically plausible sister theory to reincarnation. The Third Reading also tackles the question of humankind throughout recorded and prerecorded history: Who or what is God? Moreover, where do we fit into The Plan? About the Author Mark Evans was born in the small Midwestern town of Kewanee, Illinois. In Winnebago Indian speak, that means "prairie chicken". The highlight of each year was Hog Days when the carnival came to town. After graduating from Lakeland College in Wisconsin with a double major in psychology/sociology and a minor in Behavioral Psychology, he pursued his lifelong dream aEUR" traveling. To date he has made good on that desire, visiting over 100 countries, nine of which he made home for more than a year. His business concerns, also allowed him to live in nine of the fortyaEUR"five states he has traveled. Retiring at the ripe old age of fiftyaEUR"one, Mark lives in the southwest corner of Florida with the love of his life. He first met Lisa while working on the island of St. Maarten in 1985. They lost one another. However, by sheer happenstance, they reunited thirty years later, almost to the day on January 15. They have yet to spend a day apart. Mark is currently working on The Fourth (And Final) Reading, which will be available midaEUR"2019.

Book The Drunk Diet

Download or read book The Drunk Diet written by Lüc Carl and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his trademark Rock 'N Roll hair and snakeskin spandex pants, plus a hot rod and a Harley, Lüc Carl fit the part as a bar manager based in New York City's gritty Lower East Side. And life was good for this Omaha, Nebraska, transplant—a talented drummer who originally moved to the big city to pursue his Rock 'N Roll dreams—until, suddenly, it wasn't. Fast forward through seven years of working long hours, bingeing on late-night Chinese food, and drinking excessively; life had found Lüc forty pounds overweight and completely out of shape. But when he turned to the "experts" for advice—reading countless fitness and weight-loss books in the process—he discovered that they all made the same claim: "You can't drink alcohol if you want to lose weight." Lüc decided to take matters into his own hands to transform his body and his life his way—a sort of "f*ck you" to all those so-called experts. Full of charismatic wit and raucous stories about his life, The Drunk Diet will inspire and challenge you to become fitter, healthier, and happier. Lüc's fitness philosophy isn't about following a list of rigid rules or traditional "do this, not that" charts, but gaining a better understanding of how the body works and discovering what you're personally willing to change about your lifestyle in order to reach your goals. For him, that meant trading in the crap he was eating for unprocessed, natural foods and embracing a newfound love for exercise, but never sacrificing his social life (or his love for cold beer). This is the story of how one chain-smoking, cheeseburger-eating, hard-partying Rock 'N Roller—a self-proclaimed "out-of-shape, bloated asshole"—grew into an avid runner and cyclist and, ultimately, a happier version of himself. He will be the first to tell you: If he could do it, so can you.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of The Turnout and Give Me Your Hand: the searing novel of friendship and betrayal that inspired the USA Network series, praised by Gillian Flynn as "Lord of the Flies set in a high-school cheerleading squad...Tense, dark, and beautifully written." Addy Hanlon has always been Beth Cassidy's best friend and trusted lieutenant. Beth calls the shots and Addy carries them out, a long-established order of things that has brought them to the pinnacle of their high-school careers. Now they're seniors who rule the intensely competitive cheer squad, feared and followed by the other girls -- until the young new coach arrives. Cool and commanding, an emissary from the adult world just beyond their reach, Coach Colette French draws Addy and the other cheerleaders into her life. Only Beth, unsettled by the new regime, remains outside Coach's golden circle, waging a subtle but vicious campaign to regain her position as "top girl" -- both with the team and with Addy herself. Then a suicide focuses a police investigation on Coach and her squad. After the first wave of shock and grief, Addy tries to uncover the truth behind the death -- and learns that the boundary between loyalty and love can be dangerous terrain. The raw passions of girlhood are brought to life in this taut, unflinching exploration of friendship, ambition, and power. Award-winning novelist Megan Abbott, writing with what Tom Perrotta has hailed as "total authority and an almost desperate intensity," provides a harrowing glimpse into the dark heart of the all-American girl.

It has been two years since his mom’s death, and Jamison, his dad, and his younger sister seem to be coping, but they’ve been dealing with their loss separately and in different ways. When Jamison almost forgets the date of his mother's birthday, he worries that his memory of her is slipping away. To help make sense of the passing of time, he picks up his camera—the Nikon his mother gave to him. Jamison begins to take photos of ordinary people on the street, at the same time and place each night. As he focuses his lens on the random people who cross his path, Jamison begins to see the world in a deeper way. His endeavor turns into a school project, and then into something more. Along with his new outlook, Jamison forges new and unexpected friendships at school. But more importantly, he’s able to revive the memory of his mother, and to connect with his father and younger sister once again.

July 26, 1990 – present: Joe Balzer fights for redemption and to regain all that he has lost. Flying Drunk is his story. Since he was a young boy, Joe Balzer dreamed of flying. He pursued his goal with a vigorous passion and earned his pilot licenses, piling up hours of flight time with a wide variety of planes and jets with one overarching goal: to one day fly for a major airline. But Joe had a problem. He was an alcoholic and refused to admit to himself that he had a problem. His alcoholism caught up with him in March 1990, when Joe was arrested with two other pilots for flying a commercial airliner while under the influence of alcohol. His world began crumbling around him and his new marriage faced the ultimate test. He lost his promising career and his dignity. Every major media outlet, including The New York Times, Newsweek, and Time Magazine covered the shocking story for the stunned American flying public. The trial that followed drained Joe’s life’s savings and federal prison nearly broke him. Flying Drunk is Joe’s bittersweet and thoroughly chilling memoir of his twisted journey to a Federal courtroom, his time in the notorious Federal penitentiary system in Atlanta, and his struggle to recapture all that he held dear. Today, Joe is a recovering alcoholic, celebrating more than nineteen years of sobriety. The long road back from perdition led him to American Airlines, where good people and a great organization recognized a talented pilot who had cleaned up his act and was ready to fly again, safely. Flying Drunk is an incredible journey of the human spirit, from childhood to hell, and back again. Everyone should read and heed its message of hope and redemption. No one who does will ever forget it. About the Author: Joe Balzer is a pilot for American Airlines with more than 15,000 hours of flight experience.
