Download or read book True to Her Nature written by Maxine L. Margolis and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From colonial times to the present, advice givers from Cotton Mather to Dr. Benjamin Spock and Martha Stewart have offered a litany of opinions on proper child care and good housekeeping. Drawing on sermons, child-rearing manuals, and women s magazines, author Maxine L. Margolis explores changing ideologies about middle-class women s roles and asserts they can only be explained within a larger material context. Variables such as household vs. industrial production, the demand or lack of demand for women s labor, and the changing costs and benefits of rearing children have been instrumental in influencing views of women s true nature and proper place. This provocative and persuasive analysis suggests there are well-defined material causes for attitudes toward women s employment and housework, changing advice on child rearing including the discovery that fathers are parents too and the rebirth of feminism.

Book excerpt: A warning should come with this book, but I find most of those cliché. So how bout an accurate description instead? The story starts with the beginning of a relationship between a sweet young girl and a determined dominant man. It's a slow build of love, trust, longing, and need, with loads of sex of course. The story doesn't just jump into the middle, leaving you to wonder how one went from point A to B or from feeling one way to another. There is a HEA (or two).There is punishment and discipline. It is harsh and could be seen as cruel by the weaker stomached, I'm sure. It could be called abuse by others, but not by those that have really suffered from true abuse, I am quite sure. Because there is a choice given. There is an "escape clause" even if it's not a silly word spoken to break a spell of submission or an even sillier "written contract" not worth the paper it's written on once bondage is in place. No, the choice here is clear. Stay or go. Love or leave. Be what is wanted/needed or turn away from your True Nature.It's a journey with many a twist and turn, but isn't love always?All the books in this series are available for purchase/download now, so you won't be left wanting or waiting.Max takes control right from the start. Lucy has no choice but to give in. She fights to understand her willingness to give him everything. He pushes for more from her.

Download or read book The True Nature of Sharks written by Ila France Porcher and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The True Nature of Sharks is a full scale exploration of wild shark behavior. Drawn from fifteen years of observing sharks underwater as animals and individuals, it reveals a new dimension of understanding of their lives. This timely book will make the mysterious world of sharks come alive for you.You will learn how their complex actions reveal that sharks are thinking, rather than acting on instinct alone. For they are not the dangerously stupid automatons that popular media will have us believe. Neither are they monsters, nor the cold and senseless creatures described by fisheries science.They are ordinary animals, thinking about the events in their lives and responding intelligently.By their actions, sharks reveal that they are self-aware, form companionships, make swift decisions depending on the circumstances, and can plan to influence an event in the future. They enjoy socializing, communicate through posturing and gestures, and are capable of influencing each other. They can become highly emotional, yet are peaceful among themselves. Unlike many other animals, including humans, they do not fight!If you love discovering new, intelligent wildlife behavior, you will love this beautifully written and illustrated book, which presents a wealth of unexpected insights and tantalizing implications as it integrates field observations with facts from other branches of science. The author's clear writing and vivid prose makes you feel as if you are there with the sharks in the submarine realm, and the detailed analysis of the behavior of these important and unusual animals is captivating.As one of the world's few shark ethologists, the author is the only researcher to study sharks long-term by observing them underwater. Already familiar with terrestrial wildlife, she saw at once that they are very different from the mammals and birds we know best, and after several intriguing incidents with them, launched an intensive, seven year study. Following the precepts of cognitive ethology, she kept track of about six hundred reef sharks, and could recognize more than three hundred on sight. To supplement her findings, she watched wild tiger, bull, and lemon sharks for shorter periods. Her methods resulted in her being credited with finding a way to study sharks without killing them, and the revelation that sharks are sensitive, conscious animals provides another important reason to protect them from being fished into extinction.Once you understand the true nature of these unusual animals, you will never think of them in the same way again."Awareness of the cognitive abilities of these animals forever changes our perception of them, and their place in nature, and ours."~ Alan C. Kamil ~ Emeritus Professor of Biology and Psychology,University of Nebraska

Book excerpt: True Female Nature is everywhere; it is all around us. You can see it when you look at the television or when you look out your window. You can feel True Female Nature when you go to work or when you go to the store. Do not be a slave to True Female Nature! *Is there something about women that you always wanted to know, but could never figure out? *Are you struggling with relationships with the women in your life?*Are you being taken advantage of by women in the dating market?*How can you leverage the "dating game" to your favor?To answer these questions, men need to have an "abundance" mindset that is self-aware, that is knowledgeable, and a mindset that wants a purposeful life. "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" is an introductory course describing female nature, at a novice level. The purpose of "Hack Her" is to help men gain a better understanding of women, as far as the "logic" behind their (female) thinking. Women are not angels; they lie, they cheat, they steal, just like everyone else. The only difference is that women use their "sexual bait" to mask their deceitful strategies. The title "Hack Her" is wordplay on the term "hacker". The female mind is uncharted like the Dark Web of the internet; people know little to nothing about the modern female psyche. Men who are aware of this "Dark Web" (the mind of a woman) are called "Coders" because they have the cheat "codes" to manipulate female nature to their will. "Coders" understand that with great power comes even greater responsibility! "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" is a book written to help men see life from the point of view of the average woman that has a Westernized mindset. This book does not just describe the women that men date; the women described in this book also include the men's own mother, their own sisters, their own aunts, their own daughters, etc. Men of today can use "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" as a device to decrypt, or hack, the "Dark Web" of the female mind. Becoming a "Coder" will help prevent men from "going their own way". This book will give men the tools that they need to be in control of their own emotions, while in romantic relationships with women. "Hack Her" breakdowns the persona of women and gives men a better understanding of why (mentally) women do what they do (i.e. sex, money, dating). "Hack Her" can also help women understand other women. Often times, women comprehend other women by the examples of the females in their own personal lives; a mere anecdotal representation of True Female Nature. The male and female gender can use this book to repair relationships amongst each other, which can rebuild family structures, therefore reconstructing communities built on a foundation of healthy (marital) relationships. Once men have a deeper understanding of True Female Nature, only then can men appreciate women for who they truly are; the primary caretakers of the pediatric (children) and the geriatric (elderly) population in every country. Men around the world need to recognize that True Female Nature is nothing to be afraid of because it is neither good nor bad; it just is what it is. This is your Last Chance to change your life; after this, there is no turning back. You can choose not to read "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" and remain the same ignorant, beta male that believes whatever it is that you believe. Or, you can get your hands on "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" to learn how deceptive and how manipulative the female psyche is. All this book is offering is the truth, nothing more. Point out the lie!Do you want to know what True Female Nature is?

Download or read book The Art of Finding Yourself written by Fiona Robertson and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when everything you thought you knew about yourself is untrue? In The Art of Finding Yourself, author Fiona Robertson—senior facilitator and trainer of Scott Kiloby’s Living Inquiries method of self-inquiry and exploration—reflects on her own experience of discovering and living with this life-changing process. The Living Inquiries invite you on an inner journey to examine and dispel the stories that make you feel separate, inadequate, or otherwise “wrong.” With this book, you’ll begin to learn how to deal with “the stuff of life” both before and after that false sense of self and separation has slipped away. Our identities are built on the stories we tell ourselves about our experiences, other people, and the world, and on the beliefs that we’re truly separate beings and that there’s something wrong with us—the roots of all suffering. But when you have the courage to really inquire, you discover that your story is not the whole truth, your self-image is not real, and even your woundedness is not what you thought it was. All that’s left is truth: you are not the person you’ve taken yourself to be, and you’re certainly not alone. With the Living Inquiries, you have an effective, structured method for realizing that you are not separate or deficient. In The Art of Finding Yourself, Robertson shares how her own sense of suffering—especially the deep, painful belief that there was something wrong with her—led her to the Living Inquiries, and what this self-inquisitive process looks like in real life. In reflecting on her own personal journey, she helps you explore and unravel the stories that keep you feeling isolated and not good enough. “Living the inquiries” means approaching life without protecting your story, defending your self-image, or hiding from your deepest pain. It’s living with no added analysis, interpretation, judgment, or theorizing, and it can transform your life! No matter how flawed or enlightened you think you are, no matter how much work you think you’ve done or left undone, you’re always faced with life and influenced by your own stories—and moving beyond those stories requires a deep, inward journey. With this book, you’ll discover what it means to realize you are not the separate self you thought you were, and find engaging, insightful reflections on how to move forward in life using the transformative Living Inquiries.
