All That She Carried Random House USA Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER A renowned historian traces the life of a single object handed down through three generations of Black women to craft an extraordinary testament to people who are left out of the archives.KIRKUS PRIZE FINALIST LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/JOHN KENNETH GALBRAITH AWARD ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Slate, Vulture, Publishers Weekly ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, NPR, Time, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Smithsonian Magazine, Book Riot, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist Deeply layered and insightful . . . [a] bold reflection on American history, African American resilience, and the human capacity for love and perseverance in the face of soul-crushing madness. The Washington Post A history told with brilliance and tenderness and fearlessness. Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United StatesIn 1850s South Carolina, an enslaved woman named Rose faced a crisis, the imminent sale of her daughter Ashley. Thinking quickly, she packed a cotton bag with a few precious items as a token of love and to try to ensure Ashley s survival. Soon after, the nine-year-old girl was separated from her mother and sold.Decades later, Ashley s granddaughter Ruth embroidered this family history on the bag in spare yet haunting language including Rose s wish that It be filled with my Love always. Ruth s sewn words, the reason we remember Ashley s sack today, evoke a sweeping family story of loss and of love passed down through generations. Now, in this illuminating, deeply moving book inspired by Rose s gift to Ashley, historian Tiya Miles carefully unearths these women s faint presence in archival records to follow the paths of their lives and the lives of so many women like them to write a singular and revelatory history of the experience of slavery, and the uncertain freedom afterward, in the United States.The search to uncover this history is part of the story itself. For where the historical record falls short of capturing Rose s, Ashley s, and Ruth s full lives, Miles turns to objects and to art as equally important sources, assembling a chorus of women s and families stories and critiquing the scant archives that for decades have overlooked so many. The contents of Ashley s sack a tattered dress, handfuls of pecans, a braid of hair, my Love always are eloquent evidence of the lives these women lived. As she follows Ashley s journey, Miles metaphorically unpacks the bag, deepening its emotional resonance and exploring the meanings and significance of everything it contained.All That She Carried is a poignant story of resilience and of love passed down through generations of women against steep odds. It honors the creativity and fierce resourcefulness of people who preserved family ties even when official systems refused to do so, and it serves as a visionary illustration of how to reconstruct and recount their stories today.

Freebirth - Self-Directed Pregnancy and Birth Edition Riedenburg E.U.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Having a baby, just like that? Without hospital, midwife or instructions to push? Babies are sometimes born before the midwife can get there and when that happens, everyone involved is usually happy everything went well despite the lack of professionals.§But how does it work for women who consciously decide to have a so-called 'freebirth' and decline antenatal care as well as conventional monitoring by birth professionals?§Sarah Schmid explains how to make self-directed birth a joyous experience. She also answers important questions around taking responsibility for your own pregnancy and birth, such as:§§- How can I improve my health during pregnancy?§- How can I determine the baby's position myself and optimise it?§- Is it possible to know if my baby is well without listening to the heartbeat?§- What can I do if my labour does not progress?§- What do I do if the cord is around the baby's neck?§- What should I do if there is meconium in the amniotic fluid?§- Freebirth after caesarean birth or with a breech baby - is it possible?§- Can I give birth by myself even if the pregnancy ends too soon?§§In 'Freebirth' Sarah Schmid provides a healthy dose of basic medical knowledge and dispels scary myths about birth. This also makes 'Freebirth' valuable for those women planning to birth their babies in a conventional setting, as well as for birth professionals.§§Also in this book: Numerous illustrations - personal stories by over 30 mothers about planned and unplanned freebirths, including photos - helpful tips for the early days with a newborn§§'Trust your feelings and ask 1000 questions when it comes to the birth of your baby. Good births are not easy to find, only the best is good enough for you!' (Caroline, 37, freebirth after previous caesarean section)§§'Birth means becoming a woman and discovering the roaring lioness within yourself.' (Beatrice, 36, two freebirths)§§'Birth is part of life and it is not something that requires surveillance.' (Sarah, 32, three freebirths)

The major new novel from the beloved prize-winning author -- a brilliantly perceptive, painfully true and funny journey deep into one family's foibles, from the 1950s right up to the changed world of todayWhen the kids are grown and Mercy Garrett gradually moves herself out of the family home, everyone determines not to notice. Over at her studio, she wants space and silence. She won't allow any family clutter. Not even their cat, Desmond. Yet it is a clutter of untidy moments that forms the Garretts' family life over the decades, whether that's giving a child a ride or a painstaking Easter lunch, a fateful train journey or an unexpected homecoming. And it all begins in 1959, with a family holiday to a cabin by a lake. It's the only one the Garretts will ever take, but its effects will ripple through the generations.'If Anne Tyler isn't the best writer in the world, who is?'

Complete Buddhism for Mothers Allen & Unwin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Parenthood can be a time of great inner turmoil for a woman yet parenting books invariably focus on nurturing children rather than the mothers who struggle to raise them. Sarah Napthali takes us on a journey through the challenges (and the pleasures!) of raising children, using Buddhist teachings and principles to help her answer the eternal questions of mothers everywhere: Who am I now? Where am I going? And how can I do my best by my children and myself? This wisdom also allows space for the deeper reflections about who we are and what makes us happy. Writing from personal experience, and weaving in stories from other mothers throughout her narrative, Sarah shows us how spiritual and mindful parenting can help all mothers to be more open and content. Even if exploring Buddhism at this busy stage of your life is not where you thought you'd be, it's well worth reading this book. It can make a difference.

Grady E McCright - Massai iUniverse

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In 1979, this writer interviewed Alberta Begay in a nursing home in Alamogordo, New Mexico. She was the youngest daughter of Massai, a Chiricahua brave. This warrior slipped off the prisoner train several hundred miles east of New Mexico in 1886 when the captive Apaches were being relocated to Florida.Massai walked back to New Mexico without being detected, stole a Mescalero woman, who bore him five children. Massai and his family roamed, raided and killed as free Indians in New Mexico and Arizona Territories as well as Mexico. In 1906, cowboys finally killed him and cremated his body.The life and times of Massai are riveting to say the least; although history knows few details concerning this wilderness family saga. Unfortunately, those exciting exploits are lost to the grave forever. This effort is, of necessity, a historical fiction based on the known facts of Massai's life. If this not the way it was, it is the way it could have been.

Dresden Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In February 1945 the Allies obliterated Dresden, the 'Florence of the Elbe'. Explosive bombs weighing over 1,000 lbs fell every seven and a half seconds and an estimated 25,000 people were killed. Was Dresden a legitimate military target or was the bombing a last act of atavistic mass murder in a war already won? From the history of the city to the attack itself, conveyed in a minute-by-minute account from the first of the flares to the flames reaching almost a mile high - the wind so searingly hot that the lungs of those in its path were instantly scorched - through the eerie period of reconstruction, bestselling author Sinclair McKay creates a vast canvas and brings it alive with touching human detail. Along the way we encounter, among many others across the city, a Jewish woman who thought the English bombs had been sent from heaven, novelist Kurt Vonnegut who wrote that the smouldering landscape was like walking on the surface of the moon, and 15-year-old Winfried Bielss, who, having spent the evening ushering refugees, wanted to get home to his stamp collection. He was not to know that there was not enough time. Impeccably researched and deeply moving, McKay uses never-before-seen sources to relate the untold stories of civilians and vividly conveys the texture of contemporary life. Dresden is invoked as a byword for the illimitable cruelties of war, but with the distance of time, it is now possible to approach this subject with a much clearer gaze, and with a keener interest in the sorts of lives that ordinary people lived and lost, or tried to rebuild. Writing with warmth and colour about morality in war, the instinct for survival, the gravity of mass destruction and the manipulation of memory, this is a master historian at work.

Come Closer Soho Pr Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A recurrent, unidentifiable noise in her apartment. A memo to her boss that's replaced by obscene insults. Amanda--a successful architect in a happy marriage--finds her life going off kilter by degrees. She starts smoking again, and one night for no reason, without even the knowledge that she's doing it, she burns her husband with a cigarette. At night she dreams of a beautiful woman with pointed teeth on the shore of a blood-red sea. The new voice in Amanda's head, the one that tells her to steal things and talk to strange men in bars, is strange and frightening, and Amanda struggles to wrest back control of her life. A book on demon possession suggests that the figure on the shore could be the demon Naamah, known to scholars of the Kabbalah as the second wife of Adam, who stole into his dreams and tricked him into fathering her child. Whatever the case, as the violence of her erratic behavior increases, Amanda knows that she must act to put her life right, or see it destroyed.
