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...

Weekends at Bellevue: Nine Years On The Night Shift At The Psych Er (Playaway Top Adult Picks B Ser.)
by Julie HollandJulie Holland thought she knew what crazy was. Then she came to Bellevue. New York City's Bellevue Hospital, the oldest public hospital in the United States, has a tradition of "serving the underserved" that dates back to 1736. For nine eventful years, Dr. Holland was the weekend physician in charge of Bellevue's psychiatric emergency room, a one-woman front line charged with assessing and treating some of the city's most vulnerable and troubled citizens, its forgotten and forsaken, and its criminally insane. Deciding who gets locked up and who gets talked down would be an awesome responsibility for most people. For Julie Holland, it was just another day at the office. In an absorbing memoir laced with humor, Holland provides an unvarnished look at life in the psych ER, recounting stories from her vast case files that are alternately terrifying, tragically comic, and profoundly moving: the serial killer, the naked man barking like a dog in Times Square, the schizophrenic begging for an injection of club soda to quiet the voices in his head, the subway conductor who watched a young woman pushed into the path of his train. As Holland comes to understand, the degree to which someone can lose his or her mind is infinite, and each patient's pain leaves a mark on her as well---as does the cancer battle of a fellow doctor who is both her best friend and her most trusted mentor. Writing with uncommon candor about her life both inside and outside the hospital, her professional struggles, personal relationships, and the therapy sessions that help her crack the hard shell she's formed to keep the pain at bay, Holland supplies not only a page-turner with all the fast-paced immediacy of a TV medical drama but also a fascinating glimpse into the inner lives of doctors who struggle to maintain perspective in a world where sanity is in the eye of the beholder.

Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice, and the Limits of Capitalism
by Julie GuthmanWeighing In takes on the "obesity epidemic," challenging many widely held assumptions about its causes and consequences. Julie Guthman examines fatness and its relationship to health outcomes to ask if our efforts to prevent "obesity" are sensible, efficacious, or ethical. She also focuses the lens of obesity on the broader food system to understand why we produce cheap, over-processed food, as well as why we eat it. Guthman takes issue with the currently touted remedy to obesity--promoting food that is local, organic, and farm fresh. While such fare may be tastier and grown in more ecologically sustainable ways, this approach can also reinforce class and race inequalities and neglect other possible explanations for the rise in obesity, including environmental toxins. Arguing that ours is a political economy of bulimia--one that promotes consumption while also insisting upon thinness--Guthman offers a complex analysis of our entire economic system.
Weighing the Future: Race, Science, and Pregnancy Trials in the Postgenomic Era (Critical Environments: Nature, Science, and Politics #9)
by Natali ValdezEpigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene expression, has been heralded as one of the most promising new fields of scientific inquiry. Current large-scale studies selectively draw on epigenetics to connect behavioral choices made by pregnant people, such as diet and exercise, to health risks for future generations. As the first ethnography of its kind, Weighing the Future examines the sociopolitical implications of ongoing pregnancy trials in the United States and the United Kingdom, illuminating how processes of scientific knowledge production are linked to capitalism, surveillance, and environmental reproduction. Natali Valdez argues that a focus on individual behavior rather than social environments ignores the vital impacts of systemic racism. The environments we imagine to shape our genes, bodies, and future health are intimately tied to race, gender, and structures of inequality. This groundbreaking book makes the case that science, and how we translate it, is a reproductive project that requires feminist vigilance. Instead of fixating on a future at risk, this book brings attention to the present at stake.
