Book excerpt: "Nine all-stars in the field of YA lit contribute stories. . . . An anthology of stand-alone stories that invite — no, demand — a straight read-through." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) Nine of YA literature’s top writers, including Walter Dean Myers, Rita Williams-Garcia, Adam Rapp, Joseph Bruchac, and Sharon Flake reveal how it all goes down in a searing collection of short stories, in which each one picks up where the previous one ends.

Download or read book The Easiest Way to Meet and Pick Up Girls Ever written by Dusty White and published by Dusty White. This book was released on 2006-07-27 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As of January 2014 I am taking this book off of the market forever. I stated when I wrote this that it was not for mass public distribution. This book was always to be limited to under 10,000 copies. Sales have been astounding (far more than I ever imagined) and it is time to let the existing copies wear out, and return this information back to the few people who actually do it well. I have unpublished all digital versions of this book and they will not return either. This book will not be sold again. Thank you to everyone who read--and used it--when you did. That was an interesting period in my life. But that was then, and this is not then.This book takes all of the guesswork out of meeting women. It is not about relationships or raising a family, and it is not another hokey book on how to have some mysterious "secret power" over women. This book teaches you how to get a date tonight-without having to spend any money. Anyone can do this. You will approach women any time, anywhere, instantly getting them interested in knowing you, without feeling nervous or having to resort to pick-up lines. You will know what to say first, what to say after that, how to grab her attention and focus it exclusively on you-and get her number or a date on-the-spot. The first section of this book analyzes every possible way you could approach women. The second section of this book reveals a secret, devious way to pick up almost every woman you meet without her even guessing that you are working your magic on her. Subsequent sections provide help and troubleshooting guides. We won't make you a "guru of getting girls." We will get you "dates." The biggest problem most men have in getting dates is knowing how to approach attractive girls they see every day of the week (at the office, gas station, standing in line anywhere). Too many men rely on nightclubs, bars, and personal ads to get dates, ignoring the women they see e-v-e-r-y d-a-y.

Download or read book Picking Up written by Robin Nagle and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's largest city generates garbage in torrents—11,000 tons from households each day on average. But New Yorkers don't give it much attention. They leave their trash on the curb or drop it in a litter basket, and promptly forget about it. And why not? On a schedule so regular you could almost set your watch by it, someone always comes to take it away. But who, exactly, is that someone? And why is he—or she—so unknown? In Picking Up, the anthropologist Robin Nagle introduces us to the men and women of New York City's Department of Sanitation and makes clear why this small army of uniformed workers is the most important labor force on the streets. Seeking to understand every aspect of the Department's mission, Nagle accompanied crews on their routes, questioned supervisors and commissioners, and listened to story after story about blizzards, hazardous wastes, and the insults of everyday New Yorkers. But the more time she spent with the DSNY, the more Nagle realized that observing wasn't quite enough—so she joined the force herself. Driving the hulking trucks, she obtained an insider's perspective on the complex kinships, arcane rules, and obscure lingo unique to the realm of sanitation workers. Nagle chronicles New York City's four-hundred-year struggle with trash, and traces the city's waste-management efforts from a time when filth overwhelmed the streets to the far more rigorous practices of today, when the Big Apple is as clean as it's ever been. Throughout, Nagle reveals the many unexpected ways in which sanitation workers stand between our seemingly well-ordered lives and the sea of refuse that would otherwise overwhelm us. In the process, she changes the way we understand cities—and ourselves within them.

Download or read book Pick Up the Pieces written by John Corbett and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unless you lived through the 1970s, it seems impossible to understand it at all. Drug delirium, groovy fashion, religious cults, mega corporations, glitzy glam, hard rock, global unrest—from our 2018 perspective, the seventies are often remembered as a bizarre blur of bohemianism and disco. With Pick Up the Pieces, John Corbett transports us back in time to this thrillingly tumultuous era through a playful exploration of its music. Song by song, album by album, he draws our imaginations back into one of the wildest decades in history. Rock. Disco. Pop. Soul. Jazz. Folk. Funk. The music scene of the 1970s was as varied as it was exhilarating, but the decade’s diversity of sound has never been captured in one book before now. Pick Up the Pieces gives a panoramic view of the era’s music and culture through seventy-eight essays that allow readers to dip in and out of the decade at random or immerse themselves completely in Corbett’s chronological journey. An inviting mix of skilled music criticism and cultural observation, Pick Up the Pieces is also a coming-of-age story, tracking the author’s absorption in music as he grows from age seven to seventeen. Along with entertaining personal observations and stories, Corbett includes little-known insights into musicians from Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, James Brown, and Fleetwood Mac to the Residents, Devo, Gal Costa, and Julius Hemphill. A master DJ on the page, Corbett takes us through the curated playlist that is Pick Up the Pieces with captivating melody of language and powerful enthusiasm for the era. This funny, energetic book will have readers longing nostalgically for a decade long past.

Download or read book Catheters Slurs and Pickup Lines written by Lisa C. Ruchti and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, hospital nurses must negotiate intimate trust and intimate conflict in an effort to provide quality health care. However, interactions between nurses and patients—which often require issues of privacy—are sometimes made more uncomfortable with inappropriate behavior, as when a patient has a racist and/or sexist outburst. Not all nurses are prepared to handle such intimacy, but they can all learn how to "be caring." In Catheters, Slurs, and Pickup Lines, Lisa Ruchti carefully examines this fragile relationship between intimacy and professional care, and provides a language for patients, nurses, and administrators to teach, conduct, and advocate for knowledgeable and skilled intimate care in a hospital setting. She also recommends best training practices and practical and effective policy changes to handle conflicts. Ruchti shows that "caring" is not just a personality characteristic but is work that is structured by intersections of race, gender, and nationality.

Hetherington and Weiler explain how even our smallest choices speak volumes about us-- especially when it comes to our personalities and our politics.

If we're to overcome our seemingly intractable differences, we must first learn to master the psychological impulses that give rise to them, and to understand how politicians manipulate our mindsets for their own benefit.
