Just Human: The Quest For Disability Wisdom, Respect, And Inclusion
by Arielle SilvermanBorn without sight, Dr. Arielle Silverman has never missed the visual. Being blind never bothered her much but, as she grew, she discovered others saw her blindness very differently. Many people saw her as either helpless or inspirational, but rarely did they see her as just human, with the same capacities and desires as her peers. Arielle has spent a lifetime exploring ways to foster respect and inclusion, not only for blind people like her, but for all of us whose bodies or minds differ from the norm. <P><P> In Just Human, she reflects on her formative years and presents unique anecdotes from her life that carry teachable moments for all of us. She recalls the feel of her mother’s embrace, the smell of her grandparents’ brisket, the inner sensations of a preteen crush, the music on her wedding day, and scholarly lessons from her dissertation research. Her words paint pictures from her mind’s eye: a vision of a world where we can radically accept ourselves and our fellow humans, while at the same time work to change systems of inequality. As she writes of the past and the present, Arielle looks toward the future, considering how we can build a more inclusive world for those who come after us.

Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis
by Greg WrennA dazzling, evidence-based account of one man&’s quest to heal from complex PTSD by turning to endangered coral reefs and psychedelic plants after traditional therapies failed—and his awakening to the need for us to heal the planet as well.Professor Greg Wrenn likes to tell his nature-writing students, &“The ecological is personal, and the personal is ecological.&” What he&’s never told them is how he&’s lived out those correspondences to heal from childhood abuse at the hands of his mother. Weaving together memoir and cutting-edge science, Mothership is not just a queer coming-of-age story. It&’s a deeply researched account of how coral reefs and a psychedelic tea called ayahuasca helped Greg heal from complex PTSD—a disorder of trust, which makes the very act of bonding with someone else panic-inducing. From the tide pools in Florida where he grew up, to Indonesia&’s Raja Ampat archipelago and the Amazon rainforest, this is his search for wholeness when talk therapy and pharmaceuticals did little to help. Along the way, as his ecological conscience wakes up, he takes readers underwater to the last pristine reefs on earth, and into the psyche.Written with prophetic urgency, Mothership ultimately asks if doses of nature will be enough to save us before it&’s too late.

My Disappearing Mother: A Memoir of Magic and Loss in the Country of Dementia
by Suzanne FinnamoreTo come to terms with her mother&’s dementia, writer Suzanne Finnamore&’s groundbreaking new memoir conceptualizes dementia as an actual, albeit rather magical, place, &“like the Acropolis or Yonkers…a place where beloved and ancient queens and kings retire, where linear time doesn&’t exist, and the rules of society are laid aside…. Whenever I go to my parents&’ double-wide in Hayward, California, I am really traveling to Dementia.&”My Disappearing Mother: A Memoir of Magic and Loss is far more than a memoir on the devastation that comes with dementia, a cognitive impairment that affects 55 million people worldwide. Finnamore beautifully chronicles her mother&’s rich and varied life journey, from her birth in Puerto Rico during the height of the Depression to ferrying to the United States, in hopes of a better life. On U.S. soil, her mother, Bunny, started working as a performer for enlisted men, then became a secretary, and eventually a professional clairvoyant. With unexpected humor, Suzanne explores the feeling of love, grief, family, and loss while celebrating the bonds between mothers and daughters. In Suzanne&’s words, &“I want a book that attests to the fact that in a world full of disease, there is an abiding and supernatural force of love. That because of this, the sadness and the horror can be borne. That laughter can live alongside grief. That it must.&” When Suzanne&’s guest essay &“Dementia Is a Place Where My Mother Lives. It Is Not Who She Is&” was published in the New York Times on Mother&’s Day 2022, readers responded with an outpouring of empathy and love. And so this book was born, full of clues and guidance to help others feel less alone on the path that Finnamore has walked.
Transcendence: Finding Peace at the End of Life
by J. Phillip JonesTranscendence gently guides readers through the experiences that surround death through the lens of Eastern philosophy and the author&’s own experience as a hospice counselor.All of us die, and most of us are called upon to support loved ones or friends in dying or in grieving a death. We wonder about the nature of this universal phenomenon: Is dying only an uninvited tragedy or can it also be seen as a rite of passage? Can one's end of life journey be a time of finding inner peace, completion, and even growth? Transcendence views life as a pilgrimage culminating in the Great Transition at death. Rather than fearing our end, it invites us to reach once more for personal and spiritual growth in our sacred journey. Drawing on insights from the ancient sages of India as well as modern hospice experiences, the author explores a spiritual art of dying as the last and most powerful rite of passage. The Mandala Wisdom Series is an introductory collection on Eastern wisdom and spirituality, providing readers with the tools to enhance their health and well-being.

Restos de historias
by Jorge BaficoLa columna de Bafico en Abrepalabra (Océano FM) se ha transformando enun ámbito para mostrar cuestiones de lo cotidiano (libros, películas,series, hechos de la realidad) con una mirada psicoanalítica y con unimportante componente: la música. Este libro está lleno de restos que sedesprenden de esas historias. Jorge Bafico es psicoanalista, pero también es comunicador. Escribe yhabla muy bien. Me agrada encontrarme con un columnista queprepara cada uno de los conceptos que comparte con la audiencia. Tendríaque ser moneda corriente, pero no lo es.Jorge elabora cada columna como si fuese un periodista o escritor quetiene que crear una historia con un buen comienzo, un desarrollo y unfinal.Me atrapó su mirada sobre la sociedad. Compartimos la escucha atenta yprofunda, la observación y la pregunta. Y, podría agregar, una granpasión por la lectura y la música.Durante mis años de profesión aprendí que la brevedad es una buenaconsejera en un mundo desbordado de mensajes y con fatiga crónica paradigerirlos. Eso sí, si se quiere profundizar se necesita tiempo delectura. Y esta es justamente mi invitación: tomarse un tiempo paradisfrutar de relatos que nos hacen repensar historias ajenas ?películas,series, libros, canciones?, pero que también, y sobre todo, nos haceninterrogarnos sobre nuestras propias historias.Gustavo Rey(Comunicador, conductor del programa Abrepalabra de Océano FM)
Educocina: La transformación educativa empieza en la cocina
by Diego Ruete Jimena FolleTexto invaluable a la hora de emprender el camino hacia una alimentación saludable como forma de vida. Los adultos transmitimos mucho más de lo que decimos, por esto necesitamos asumir el rol que cumplimos en la educación alimentaria en la infancia. Necesitamos adultos que se detengan, que lean las etiquetas, que sean críticos a la hora de comprar alimentos, que se interesen más por el contenido que por el envoltorio, que se animen a cocinar más. Para lograr esto necesitamos reaprender a organizar nuestras jornadas, a rearmar nuestras prioridades y, sobre todo, las de nuestros niños. En este libro, Diego Ruete apela a su enorme experiencia como educador para compartir con nosotros estrategias que nos ayudarán en el camino hacia la alimentación como forma de compartir el amor. El libro se enriquece con la solidez conceptual de Jimena Folle y los aportes de reconocidos especialistas en diversas áreas que, junto con la exitosa praxis de Diego Ruete y de Inés Marracos, conforman un texto invaluable a la hora de emprender el camino hacia una alimentación saludable como forma de vida. En una sociedad donde aparecen como consumibles cada vez más cosas que en realidad no son alimentos, la educación alimentaria juega un rol esencial. La comida debe retornar a hacer su verdadero trabajo, debe nutrir para el desarrollo, debe aportar para la salud, no enfermar. En estas páginas encontraremos conceptos, consejos y herramientas que contribuirán a reconectarnos con los alimentos de una manera saludable.
