Download or read book Fat Pretty and Soon to be Old written by Kimberly Dark and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Nothing is more brilliant and juicy to me than a woman stepping fully into her self—mind, body, and spirit, full throttle, without apology. Kimberly Dark has been illuminating the path for a long time. This book is a triumph. This book is a jailbreak from cultural inscriptions meant to keep us locked up, shut up, and conforming.” —Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Chronology of Water and The Book of Joan Fat, Pretty, and Soon to be Old is a moving, funny, and startlingly frank collection of personal essays about what it means to look a certain way. Or rather, certain ways. Navigating Kimberly Dark’s experience of being fat since childhood—as well as queer, white-privileged, a gender-confirming “girl with a pretty face,” active then disabled, and inevitably aging—each piece blends storytelling and social analysis to deftly coax readers into a deeper understanding of how appearance privilege (and stigma) function in everyday life and how the architecture of this social world constrains us. At the same time, she provides a blueprint for how each of us can build a more just social world, one interaction at a time. Includes an afterword by Health at Every Size expert, Linda Bacon. Kimberly Dark is a writer, professor, and raconteur. She has written award-winning plays, and taught and performed for a wide range of audiences in various countries over the past two decades. She is the author of The Daddies, Love and Errors, and co-editor of the anthology Ways of Being in Teaching.

Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years. What would happen if the world were ending? A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space. But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . . Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth. A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.

His nephew, Jim Harrison, is intrigued by the Idaho Stories of his Uncle, and upon obtaining his Ph. D. takes his first job as a physics professor at Idaho State. At first to earn needed money, Charlie also has a weekend job on a potato field. Jim discovers that the soil that his uncle tracks in from the field is radioactive and that starts Jim wondering about the possibility of the nearby National Reactor Testing Station (the "Site") polluting the neighboring country side with stray radioactive waste. Jim becomes even more interested when his Uncle takes a job a the Site because it pays more than the two jobs he had. Pressures to develop research lead Jim to visit scientists at the Site, where Jim becomes convinced that an employee there has been intentionally following him. Investigating this, leads Jim to have adventures that become increasingly complex and involve the CIA. One evening while visiting his uncle on Scout Mountain, Jim and Charlie are shot at by an unknown person. However they both suspect that the person driving the car that has followed Jim on several occasions is the shooter. It slowly becomes evident that the shooter is possibly a Soviet spy who Uncle Charlie had briefly encountered in his wandering past. It seems possible this spy is engaged in trying to sabotage the US nuclear effort during this time of the cold war. A CIA operative advises Jim as to the dangers of his inadvertent involvement, and the story reaches a crescendo when the spy again tries to shoot Uncle Charlie on Scout Mountain. Colby takes the spy down. These events lead Uncle Charlie to become disgusted with his settled life and he goes back on the road, leaving Colby with Jim.

Download or read book The Winter Rose written by Jennifer Donnelly and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 1487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been twelve years since a dark, murderous figure stalked the alleys and courts of Whitechapel. And yet, in the summer of 1900, East London is still poor, still brutal, still a shadow city to its western twin. Among the reformers is an idealistic young woman named India Selwyn-Jones, recently graduated from medical school. With the help of her influential fiancé--Freddie Lytton, an up-and-coming Liberal MP--she works to shut down the area's opium dens that destroy both body and soul. Her selfless activities better her patients' lives and bring her immense gratification, but unfortunately, they also bring her into direct conflict with East London's ruling crime lord--Sid Malone. India is not good for business and at first, Malone wants her out. But against all odds, India and Sid fall in love. Different in nearly every way, they share one thing in common--they're both wounded souls. Their love is impossible and they know it, yet they cling to it desperately. Lytton, India's fiancé, will stop at nothing to marry India and gain her family's fortune. Fractious criminal underlings and rivals conspire against Sid. When Sid is finally betrayed by one of his own, he must flee London to save his life. Mistakenly thinking him dead, India, pregnant and desperate, marries Freddie to provide a father for hers and Sid's child. India and Sid must each make a terrible sacrifice--a sacrifice that will change them both forever. One that will lead them to other lives, and other places...and perhaps--one distant, bittersweet day--back to each other.
