Vivas nos queremos: Manual de autodefensa feminista
by Sonia VivasPorque NO es y será siempre NO.Porque nos queremos libres.Pero sobre todo nos queremos VIVAS. «Si algo te duele, te hace sentir mal, te produce conflicto, malestar o te da miedo, es ella, no lo dudes, es violencia.» Un libro para marcar las líneas rojas del machismo, con el que aprender a defendernos a nosotras mismas y a detectar lo que NO podemos tolerar a nuestro alrededor. La autodefensa pasa por conocer nuestros derechos, saber cómo actuar y a quién recurrir, pero sobre todo por detectar y no tolerar y por no tener miedo, sino herramientas.
Vivere attraverso il cuore
by NirmalaPer secoli, gli insegnamenti spirituali ci hanno indicato il Cuore come fonte di saggezza, verità, pace e amore. Lo chiamiamo il Cuore perché queste realtà più profonde sono sperimentate più intensamente nella zona del cuore fisico. Comunque il Cuore spirituale non è limitato ad una posizione nel vostro corpo. Il Cuore è la totalità della vostra connessione con le qualità essenziali e le dimensioni più grandi della vostra vera natura di Esseri senza limiti. Qualunque esplorazione completa della più ampia verità del vostro Essere deve includere una scoperta delle capacità e qualità di questo tenero, amorevole e saggio aspetto della vostra vera natura. Vivere attraverso il Cuore è suddiviso in tre parti collegate che esplorano il vivere attraverso il Cuore spirituale. La prima parte, Attraverso il Cuore, offre modi semplici per far cadere la vostra consapevolezza nel Cuore e quindi passare ad una prospettiva più aperta e permissiva, e di sperimentare in maniera più completa il mondo e la vostra vera natura di spazio consapevole. L’esplorazione prosegue facendo cadere la consapevolezza nella pancia, e infine nel più ampio Cuore spirituale che comprende la mente, il cuore e la pancia. Questi semplici cambiamenti di prospettiva possono modificare profondamente la vostra esperienza della vita e delle sue sfide. Viene fuori che non importa ciò che sperimentate, quello che importa è da dove lo sperimentate. La seconda parte, La saggezza del Cuore, spiega come il Cuore sia una guida saggia e attenta verso la verità. La verità è qualunque cosa apra il vostro Cuore e metta a tacere la vostra mente. Questa semplice definizione elimina qualunque idea o convinzione confusa sulla via che porta alla fonte diretta della saggezza e della guida, disponibile nel vostro Cuore. La terza parte, L’Amore è per dare, indica il vostro Cuore come vera sorgente dell’amore. L’essenza dell’amore è la spaziosa ed aperta attenzione della no
Voice Lessons: How a Couple of Ninja Turtles, Pinky, and an Animaniac Saved My Life
by Rob PaulsenRob Paulsen is one of Hollywood’s busiest, most talented, and most passionate performers. If you don’t know him by name, you will know him by the many characters he has brought to life: Pinky from Pinky and the Brain, Yakko from Animaniacs, the tough but loveable Raphael from the original animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many more. So you can imagine how terrifying it must have been when Rob was diagnosed with throat cancer, putting his entire livelihood in jeopardy and threatening to rob the world of all his loveable characters that filled our youths and adulthoods with humor and delight. Voice Lessons tells the heartwarming and life-affirming story of Rob’s experience with an aggressive cancer treatment and recovery regimen, which luckily led to a full recovery. Rob quickly returned to doing what he loves most, but with a much deeper appreciation of what he came so close to losing. His new lease on life inspired him to rededicate himself to his fans, particularly the new friends he made along the way: hundreds of sick children and their families. Rob said it best himself: “I can not only continue to make a living, but make a difference, and I can’t wait to use that on the biggest scale that I can.”
Volume Control: Hearing in a Deafening World
by David OwenThe surprising science of hearing and the remarkable technologies that can help us hear betterOur sense of hearing makes it easy to connect with the world and the people around us. The human system for processing sound is a biological marvel, an intricate assembly of delicate membranes, bones, receptor cells, and neurons. Yet many people take their ears for granted, abusing them with loud restaurants, rock concerts, and Q-tips. And then, eventually, most of us start to go deaf.Millions of Americans suffer from hearing loss. Faced with the cost and stigma of hearing aids, the natural human tendency is to do nothing and hope for the best, usually while pretending that nothing is wrong. In Volume Control, David Owen argues this inaction comes with a huge social cost. He demystifies the science of hearing while encouraging readers to get the treatment they need for hearing loss and protect the hearing they still have.Hearing aids are rapidly improving and becoming more versatile. Inexpensive high-tech substitutes are increasingly available, making it possible for more of us to boost our weakening ears without bankrupting ourselves. Relatively soon, physicians may be able to reverse losses that have always been considered irreversible. Even the insistent buzz of tinnitus may soon yield to relatively simple treatments and techniques. With wit and clarity, Owen explores the incredible possibilities of technologically assisted hearing. And he proves that ears, whether they're working or not, are endlessly interesting.

Wait, It Gets Worse: Love, Death, and My Transformation from Control Freak to Human Being
by Lydia SlabyLydia Slaby was 33 years old and had everything she believed would make her happy: three fancy private school degrees, a successful husband who was in the inner circles of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, a high-paying job as an attorney—even an enviable yoga practice. But under the surface Lydia's life was in free fall. Her new marriage was one argument after another, she had a job she never wanted, and for some reason she had begun to rapidly lose weight, eventually turning a strange shade of yellowish-green. When she made a doctor's appointment to talk about the toll of extreme stress, she was instead admitted with a diagnosis of lymphoma. As a cancer survivor, Lydia tries to piece back together her marriage, her career, and her own worth. It's an imperfect rebirth, but perfection is something she must abandon if she is to find a new, calm, healthy life. With a voice that is wise, irreverent, and filled with sharp humor, this is a story about following all the rules only to learn the hard way that control is an illusion and that love will save your life.
Wake Up!: Break the Generational Cycle and Be Yourself
by Janet S. EllisWake Up is about breaking the vicious cycle of habitual repeated behavior handed down generation after generation and awakening full potential. It’s time for people to break the vicious cycle of family dynamics and awaken to who they truly are in order to move forward and create a life full of freedom. It is possible to change behaviors that lead to transformation in not only the individual’s life, but in the lives of those around them. Janet Ellis, founder and CEO of Janet’s Planets of Empowerment, shares the process she herself has followed to break free of the dysfunction that ruled the early years of her life. As living proof that anyone can emerge from the other side of depression, sadness, and loneliness, she teaches readers to awaken to only their Truth, learn to love themselves regardless of their outer world, break through the blocks that are holding them back, and more. Within the pages of Wake Up is the message that no matter where someone comes from, what their life has been like, as long as they wake up and are willing to do the work, they can have a life full of freedom and joy.
Wake/Sleep: What To Eat And Do For More Energy And Better Sleep

One the Sleep side, calm your body and mind with sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and calcium- and magnesium-rich foods, with recipes including Peppermint Tea Latte, Lemon-Lime Avo Mousse, and Banana Pudding. DIY Coffee Body Scrub will energize even the most reluctant morning person and, when it’s time to wind down, a calming Yogurt Bath Soak will promote relaxation.
Walk With Your Wolf: Unlock your intuition, confidence & power with walking therapy
by Jonathan Hoban'Drawing on perceptive insight and profound wisdom, Jonathan Hoban reveals how the simple act of walking can displace our minds from a place of chaos to tranquil calm, and makes a beautiful and inspiring case for walking with your wolf.' - Dr Mithu Storoni, author of Stress-ProofNature is our greatest healer. It's time to start walking and reclaim the wildness in all of us.When did you last take a walk? Not a stroll to the shops, or to the pub, but a walk that got you energised, stimulated your senses, allowing you to de-stress? If the answer is that you'd love to walk, but don't have the time, there really are more reasons to get outside than you might think.When we walk we find the space to process our feelings and we begin to have the courage to be vulnerable and honest with ourselves. Walking awakens the intuition that helps us face up to our difficulties and walk alongside them, enabling us to find positive solutions to our problems. Our ancestors knew all about movement - they walked across the planet, understanding nature and learning to respect and work in harmony with it. Written by a London-based therapist, Walk with your Wolf is part memoir, part self-help and part reflection on the connection we must re-establish with our natural, intuitive selves if we are to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Offering practical advice and exercises on how to walk and think as a method of confronting difficult emotions, this book will allow you to reconnect with your intuition, confidence and power.'An important message about the power of reconnecting with the primal self to achieve balance in the modern world. A fascinating read' - Megan Hine'Deftly blending science, his own narrative and his experience as a therapist, he is at our side as we find a way of engaging with and being healed by nature. Like the wolf in the book's title, we can reconnect with our own elemental lupine instincts which are so often repressed in our stressful and artificial world - both a wolf's wildness as well as its sociability and need to be part of a pack. Follow in Hoban's easy to apply footsteps and you will never walk alone again. - Rachel Kelly, bestselling author of Walking on Sunshine and The Happy Kitchen'Jonathan Hoban challenges us to use nature as a setting for reconsidering our lives and our stresses. He asks us to 'walk alongside our difficulties' giving ourselves the physical and mental space to look at ourselves anew and to decide what we really need. For that commute to work, or indeed for that break on the park bench, I commend this book.' - Sir Ciarán Devane, CEO of the British Council

Walking: One Step At a Time
by Erling KaggeA lyrical account of an activity that is essential for our sanity, equilibrium, and well-being, from the author of Silence ("A book to be handled and savored." —The Wall Street Journal)Placing one foot in front of the other, embarking on the journey of discovery, and experiencing the joy of exploration—these activities are intrinsic to our nature. Our ancestors traveled long distances on foot, gaining new experiences and learning from them. But as universal as walking is, each of us will experience it differently. For Erling Kagge, it is the gateway to the questions that fascinate him—Why do we walk? Where do we walk from? What is our destination?—and in this book he invites us to investigate them along with him. Language reflects the idea that life is one single walk; the word "journey" comes from the distance we travel in the course of a day. Walking for Kagge is a natural accompaniment to creativity: the occasion for the unspoken dialogue of thinking. Walking is also the antidote to the speed at which we conduct our lives, to our insistence on rushing, on doing everything in a precipitous manner—walking is among the most radical things we can do.
Watching Our Weights: The Contradictions of Televising Fatness in the “Obesity Epidemic”
by Melissa ZimdarsWatching Our Weights explores the competing and contradictory fat representations on television that are related to weight-loss and health, medicalization and disease, and body positivity and fat acceptance. While television—especially reality television—is typically understood to promote individual self-discipline and expert interventions as necessary for transforming fat bodies into thin bodies, fat representations and narratives on television also create space for alternative as well as resistant discourses of the body. Melissa Zimdars thus examines the resistance inherent within TV representations and narratives of fatness as a global health issue, the inherent and overt resistance found across stories of medicalized fatness, and programs that actively avoid dieting narratives in favor of less oppressive ways of thinking about the fat body. Watching Our Weights weaves together analyses of media industry lore and decisions, communication and health policies, medical research, activist projects, popular culture, and media texts to establish both how television shapes our knowledge of fatness and how fatness helps us better understand contemporary television.

Webster Groves infestata: Vere storie agghiaccianti di fantasmi, riportate con racconti di prima mano
by Patrick DorseyTutti siamo stati terrorizzati da storie agghiaccianti di infestazioni e di morti irrequieti, quegli spiriti che si rifiutano di riposare, rimanendo invece a far parte delle vite dei vivi. Abbiamo letto i racconti, visto i film, e di tanto in tanto ci siamo avvicinati per ascoltare l'esperienza personale di qualcuno con un fantasma. Specialmente quando quel qualcuno vive nella casa accanto. Scopri leggende inquietanti e racconti di prima mano inspiegabili di fantasmi e del soprannaturale in un quartiere forse proprio come il tuo, dove i residenti di una tranquilla comunità di periferia tornano a casa la notte per ritrovare dei passi invisibili; si rassegnano a vedere oggetti che si spostano misteriosamente, scomparendo e riapparendo; vivono con figure spettrali che stanno in agguato; o comunque condividono la loro casa con il soprannaturale. Webster Groves, in Missouri, è uno dei primi sobborghi di St. Louis, un posto il cui passato si estende fino all'epoca Coloniale ed attraversa la Guerra Civile fino al giorno d'oggi. Alcuni di quelli che hanno vissuto quella storia sono evidentemente rimasti...
Wee Warriors and Playtime Patriots: Children’s Military Regalia: Civil War Era through the Vietnam Period

An extensive collection of photographs features children in military dress from countries around the world. These touching images of a never-before-chronicled military collectibles field will mesmerize readers.

Weighty Problems: Embodied Inequality at a Children’s Weight Loss Camp
by Laura BackstromMany parents, teachers, and doctors believe that childhood obesity is a social problem that needs to be solved. Yet, missing from debates over what caused the rise in childhood obesity and how to fix it are the children themselves. By investigating how contemporary cultural discourses of childhood obesity are experienced by children, Laura Backstrom illustrates how deeply fat stigma is internalized during the early socialization experiences of children. Weighty Problems details processes of embodied inequality: how the children came to recognize inequalities related to their body size, how they explained the causes of those differences, how they responded to micro-level injustices in their lives, and how their participation in a weight loss program impacted their developing self-image. The book finds that embodied inequality is constructed and negotiated through a number of interactional processes including resocialization, stigma management, social comparisons, and attribution.
