Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a CF kid? You're not alone! When Tim Sweeney was (much) younger, he wished he had a book like this to help him navigate the ups and downs of having cystic fibrosis. Tim was born with cystic fibrosis at a time when there wasn't a lot known about it. Throughout Tim's life, he has faced challenge after challenge and never gave up. As a result, Tim has learned all of the tools he uses to be a CF Warrior everyday. Tools such as exercise, good eating habits, compliance with breathing treatments and medications, and having the right mindset. Just like a superhero, Tim relies on his family, friends, and doctors to help, but he also relies on himself. In Diary of a CF Kid, Tim teaches the life lessons he's learned, such as trust, self-esteem, integrity, courage, and many others, to help be a CF Warrior who is winning daily battles. Tim's mission in life is to live with health and happiness. Living with CF has many challenges and it helps to be inspired by someone who has seen every stage of CF including 3 life saving surgeries (and even managed to run a marathon less than year after his double lung transplant). Tim has been a personal trainer for over 20 years with a wife and 3 boys. Let's face it, a lot of kids find reading too boring and not as exciting as an iPad. Diary of a CF Kid is told in the entertaining Diary of a Wimpy Kid style with funny sketches and stories that will make you laugh, engage, be inspired, and learn. Tim's diary also brings to life important topics for a CF kid. Each diary entry focuses on a new value with examples that include historical figures such as Helen Keller, the Wright Brothers, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and many others. Tim also uses his own experiences to teach valuable lessons that have made a huge impact on his life. Learning from such real life heroes will inspire CF kids to live a life with health and happiness. This book is for a CF Kid. It is also for the parents of a CF kid who want to know how their kid experiences the world. How do CF kids perceive CF? What are the fears and hopes of a CF kid? What are some of the values that are important for a CF kid to practice daily? Perfect as a bedtime story, neatly divided into small sections, Diary of a CF Kid is a one of kind book for CF Kids.

Download or read book The End of Men written by Christina Sweeney-Baird and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The End of Men is a fiercely intelligent page-turner, an eerily prescient novel, at once thoughtful and highly emotive." --Paula Hawkins, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Girl on the Train Set in a world where a virus stalks our male population, The End of Men is an electrifying and unforgettable debut from a remarkable new talent that asks: what would our world truly look like without men? Only men carry the virus. Only women can save us all. The year is 2025, and a mysterious virus has broken out in Scotland--a lethal illness that seems to affect only men. When Dr. Amanda MacLean reports this phenomenon, she is dismissed as hysterical. By the time her warning is heeded, it is too late. The virus becomes a global pandemic--and a political one. The victims are all men. The world becomes alien--a women's world. What follows is the immersive account of the women who have been left to deal with the virus's consequences, told through first-person narratives. Dr. MacLean; Catherine, a social historian determined to document the human stories behind the "male plague"; intelligence analyst Dawn, tasked with helping the government forge a new society; and Elizabeth, one of many scientists desperately working to develop a vaccine. Through these women and others, we see the uncountable ways the absence of men has changed society, from the personal--the loss of husbands and sons--to the political--the changes in the workforce, fertility, and the meaning of family. In The End of Men, Christina Sweeney-Baird turns the unimaginable into the unforgettable.

Download or read book Race Reason and Massive Resistance written by David John Mays and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These private writings by a prominent white southern lawyer offer insight into his state’s embrace of massive white resistance following the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling. David J. Mays of Richmond, Virginia, was a highly regarded attorney, a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, and a member of his city’s political and social elite. He was also a diarist for most of his adult life. This volume comprises diary excerpts from the years 1954 to 1959. For much of this time Mays was counsel to the commission, chaired by state senator Garland Gray, that was charged with formulating Virginia’s response to federal mandates concerning the integration of public schools. Later, Mays was involved in litigation triggered by that response. Mays chronicled the state’s bitter and divisive shift away from the Gray Commission’s proposal that school integration questions be settled at the local level. Instead, Virginia’s arch-segregationists, led by U.S. senator Harry F. Byrd, championed a monolithic defiance of integration at the highest state and federal levels. Many leading Virginians of the time appear in Mays’s diary, along with details of their roles in the battle against desegregation as it was fought in the media, courts, polls, and government back rooms. Mays’s own racial attitudes were hardly progressive; yet his temperament and legal training put a relatively moderate public face on them. As James R. Sweeney notes, Mays’s differences with extremists were about means more than ends--about “not the morality of Jim Crow but the best tactics for defending it.”

Despite nearing 80, she keeps Sea View Lodge just as her parents did during Morecambe’s 1950s heyday. But now only her employees and regular guests recognize the tenderness and heartbreak hidden beneath her spikiness. Until, that is, Vincent shows up. Vincent is the last person Maeve wants to see. He is the only man alive to have known her twin sister, Edie. The nightingale to Maeve’s crow, the dawn to Maeve’s dusk, Edie would have set her sights on the stage—all things being equal.

If only Maeve could confront the secret past she shares with Vincent, she might finally see what it means to love and be loved—a lesson that her exuberant yet inexplicable twin may have been trying to teach her all along.

Book excerpt: See James P. Sweeney as the grumpy old man on Nat Geo's Ultimate Survivor Alaska airing Sunday nights. His quotes are hilarious and his actions are strong. Tune in and see this living legend. His book A Thousand Prayers is the ultimate survival story. A month after the Exxon Valdez runs aground on Bligh Reef, experienced mountaineer James P. Sweeney Jr. and his buddy Dave Nyman are ascending Alaska's Mount Johnson. A fall sends Jim hurtling a hundred feet down the mountainside. His femur is fractured, his hip is dislocated, and his head is bleeding. As Dave desperately struggles to lower his friend to safety, the mountain throws one avalanche after another at them. Barely conscious, Jim is left overnight in a wet sleeping bag perched precariously on a flat spot on the mountainside while Dave skis twelve miles up the Ruth Glacier to the Mountain House, only to discover that the only help available comes from four inexperienced skiers who are ill prepared for a dangerous rescue mission. On day four, a hard landing by a passing light plane leaves the pilot and his passengers-including his pregnant wife-stranded at the Mountain House without any survival gear. All told, Jim spends over a week on the mountainside, enduring avalanches and deadly blizzards. A harrowing true tale of courage and endurance, Jim's story has been featured in magazines and newspapers, and even dramatized on the Discovery Channel's I Shouldn't Be Alive.
