100 Questions about Women and Politics
by Manon TremblayBoth yesterday's suffragists and today's feminists have battled for women to vote and hold office, and their successes have made it possible for countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Iceland, Liberia, and the United Kingdom to have female heads of state. Despite these notable advances, women are still largely underrepresented in parliaments and governments around the world. Why, after so many years of feminist struggle, are women still obstructed from full political citizenship by a glass ceiling? Manon Tremblay's 100 Questions about Women and Politics discusses electoral politics in Canada and abroad, focusing on women's rights to vote and run for office in legislative elections, political parties, voting systems, electoral quotas for women, and participation in parliaments and governments. Against a background of observations taken from academic research, Tremblay uses an innovative approach by dividing her book into 100 questions and answers to address a range of important issues. Are electorates sexist or lesbophobic? Are family responsibilities a real obstacle to women's engagement in politics? What strategies are available to increase the number of female politicians? Are gender quotas democratic? Once elected to office, do women represent women? How does women's political citizenship in Canada compare to that in other countries? A timely book on the unfinished work of representative democracy, 100 Questions about Women and Politics takes a comprehensive yet concise approach to demystifying the major issues dominating the study of gender and government.

100 Questions from My Child
by Mallika ChopraThe author of 100 Promises to My Baby explores 100 questions children ask, sometimes whimsical, often mystical, and shares some insights on how to foster a child's imagination, creativity, and sense of self."As a mom, I realized early on that my children were looking to me for answers," Mallika Chopra writes. "Even before they could speak, they were asking questions, questions about how to interact with the world. And it was my reaction to these questions that began to shape their worldview, their sense of security and trust." Embracing the responsibilities of parenthood as a sacred trust, Mallika shares with other moms and dads her own quest for answers to the questions her children posed as they sought to make sense of their feelings and the world around them."Where did I come from? Will you get sick and die? Why do I have to share? Do trees have feelings? Why doesn't anyone want to play with me? What's a bomb?" Whether she is fielding simple queries like "Why do I have to say thank you?" or deeper ones that require much soul searching about her own beliefs, Mallika Chopra draws on history and myth, global wisdom, and rich personal anecdotes to craft responses that expand children's sense of wonder. This beautifully designed book, with inspirational reflections and stories accompanying the 100 questions, makes an irresistible gift for any mother of young children or any person asking questions about our place and purpose in the universe.

100 Secretos de la Gente Saludable, Los: Lo que los Cientificos Han Descubierto y Como Puede Aplicarlo a Su Vida (100 Secretos)
by David NivenLa Ciencia de una Vida Saludable ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre las personas que se sienten y se ven saludables, y las que están cansadas o deprimidas y jamás están en forma? A diario enfrentamos una cantidad alarmante de estudios y estadísticas que nos dicen qué debemos y no debemos comer, cuánto tiempo tenemos que hacer ejercicio o cómo protegernos del humo de segunda mano y los dañinos rayos del sol. Pero estos estudios, además de ser contradictorios, suelen tener información científica literalmente incomprensible para el lector común. En este libro, David Niven nos hace el favor de resumir los millones de estudios que se han hecho acerca de la salud del ser humano, y de convertirlos en cien fáciles puntos que nos ayudarán a vivir más saludables y felices. Desmontando mitos comunes con consejos reales y aplicables, Niven nos explica la importancia de estos descubrimientos. Coma con frecuencia. Los investigadores de la universidad Oxford hallaron que las personas que comen cinco o seis veces al día tienen un 5 por ciento menos de colesterol que la persona media, y tienen un 45 por ciento más de posibilidades de mantener su peso ideal que las personas que sólo comen una o dos veces al día. ¿Quién dice que la cafeína es mala para la salud? La mayoría de los resultados científicos prueban que, para un adulto saludable, cantidades moderadas de cafeína (aproximadamente tres tazas de café al día) no presentan ningún riesgo a la salud. Hogar, dulce hogar. Según un estudio de la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles, aquellas personas que dicen tener una vida de hogar satisfactoria tienen un 24 por ciento más de posibilidades de vivir más que la expectativa normal de vida.
