Pior do que isso, podemos ver um aumento constante de crianças diagnosticadas com autismo. Como se não bastasse, quando visitam médicos e pediatras, os pais ouvem que o autismo é uma enfermidade mental sem cura e que precisam aprender a conviver com isso.

Vou repetir mais uma vez: O autismo tem cura Não se deixe enganar pelas declarações dos cientistas e especialistas. E acima de tudo, não permita que ninguém te desencoraje. Principalmente se você acredita em Deus, você precisa saber que Ele já criou a cura para todas as doenças.

Ao romper de mais uma manhã, Hassanali está a caminho da mesquita quando um forasteiro branco, vindo do deserto, desaba a seus pés. Hassanali decide ajudar aquele homem — um explorador e orientalista inglês de nome Martin Pearce — levando-o depois para casa de um oficial, seu conterrâneo. Quando Pearce regressa para agradecer a Hassanali por lhe ter salvado a vida, também conhece a irmã dele, Rehana, com quem viverá uma história de amor proibido. Décadas depois, numa Zanzibar em vésperas da turbulenta independência do poder colonial europeu, Jamila, a neta de Rehana, viverá com Amin uma história de amor em tudo semelhante, que desafiará a família, a moral e as convençõesda sociedade.

O My America!: A Novel (Library Of Modern Jewish Literature Ser.)
by Johanna KaplanA delightfully funny and moving novel about the singular life of a cantankerous Jewish-American writer and anarchist troublemaker, as remembered by his daughter In 1972, sixty-four-year-old Ezra Slavin&’s heart gives out at an anti-war rally. A contentious and irascible Jewish-American writer, anarchist, and inadvertent guru to discontented youth, he leaves behind a large extended family of ex-wives, lovers, and children, most of whom had cut all ties with the infuriating intellectual provocateur years earlier. Out of the entire family, only one daughter, Merry, a journalist, can remember her father with her own critical, conflicted understanding, a saddened sympathy approaching love. As the day of his memorial approaches, she attempts to make sense of the puzzle of Ezra&’s life before all of its disparate, discordant elements come crashing together at the service.The award-winning author of Other People&’s Lives, Johanna Kaplan creates a vivid cast of unforgettable characters who reveal the disparity between Ezra&’s long-suffering, neglected family, his admiring friends, and the youthful hangers-on—and, most notably, in the outrageously enigmatic Ezra himself. At once hilarious and poignant, O My America! offers a fascinating evocation of a time and place in America, a satiric history of the immigrant Jewish experience, and a wonderful portrait of an exasperating yet endearing anti-hero pursuing his unique vision of the American dream.
O Sister Swallow: An Elegy for Bharati Namjoshi
by Suniti NamjoshiShouldn' t there be a bridge from the known to the unknown?In this exquisite elegy, Suniti Namjoshi reflects on the life of her sister Bharati, their overlapping yet disparate lives, their nearness and distance, and what it means to belong and to be valued. The two sisters love one another and they love birds; but they live on different continents and think in different languages. Is this what sisterhood is really about – to acknowledge difference and still to understand and to care?This richly textured book with its tender and elegant language is full of both joy and grief. It is a generous yet poignant invitation from the author to us to contemplate our own experience.If the casual, implacable insolence of death could be answered by building a monument or by writing an elegy, perhaps it would do till language crumbled and the edifice fell.

Obesity and Fertility
by Emily S. JungheimThis book outlines the current understanding of how obesity affects female reproductive function across the lifespan. Topics include physiology of the menstrual cycle and early pregnancy, best practices in the delivery of contraceptive and prenatal care and healthcare policy that weighs the evidence in appropriate balance with principles that respect women's rights. Special attention is devoted to the idea that obesity's adverse effects are likely trans-generational; that is, children born to obese mothers are at increased risk for obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life. Patients and their physicians need to be aware of the additional risks obesity confers in pregnancy and outline a plan of care that includes counseling preconceptionally, antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum in order to decrease morbidity. Obesity and Fertility provides advice for reproductive medicine physicians and gynecologists to help guide obese patients toward improved reproductive health and outcomes.

Obsidian and Stars
by Julie EshbaughIn the riveting sequel to Ivory and Bone—the YA fantasy novel that New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman described as having a “richly crafted world of life-and-death stakes”—the story shifts to Mya’s viewpoint as vengeful adversaries force her to flee the life she once knew.After surviving the battle that erupted after Lo and the Bosha clan attacked, now Mya is looking ahead to her future with Kol.

Obstetric Violence: Realities, and Resistance from Around the World
by Angela N. Castañeda;Nicole Hill;Julie Johnson SearcyIn this book, we make space to interrogate obstetric violence; from its historical and legal roots and contemporary realities, to responses of advocacy and resistance. Through the lens of obstetric violence, we are able to see overlap in structural vulnerability across continents as well as recognize the ways in which obstetric violence is symptomatic of larger global problems including systemic injustices related to reproductive health. Combining the perspectives of care providers, birthing people, advocates and researchers, our volume seeks to include both a systematic and structural understanding of obstetric violence. We bring together diverse voices, from practitioners, to activists, to academics, and provide a global perspective on obstetric violence with research from around the world, including indigenous communities from North America (Canada and Hawaii), examples from Latin American and Caribbean countries as well as country-specific cases from Argentina, Australia, Egypt, Mexico, Portugal, and the United States. The range of disciplinary perspectives and global experiences presented in this book demonstrates that obstetric violence is neither bound to one discipline, nor site specific. Together the chapters of this volume work to understand obstetric violence, moving beyond static definitions towards a spectrum of lived experiences that highlight three main areas: Legislation and Policy, Experiencing Obstetric Violence, and Advocacy, Resistance and Reframing. The time for a global recognition of obstetric violence – of the larger structural forces embedded in systems that cross cultures and violate bodies in acutely vulnerable life moments – is now. By naming it and saying it out loud we recognize obstetric violence exists and can together begin the process of systemic change necessary to prevent it.
