Описание: Originally released by Doubleday in 1956, Harlem Moon Classics celebrates the publication with the fiftieth-anniversary edition of Billie Holiday's unforgettable and timeless memoir. Updated with photos and with an insightful introduction and a revised discography, both written by celebrated music writer David Ritz. Lady Sings the Blues is the fiercely honest, no-holds-barred autobiography of Billie Holiday, the legendary jazz, swing, and standards singing sensation. Taking the reader on a fast-moving journey from Holiday's rough-and-tumble Baltimore childhood (where she ran errands at a whorehouse in exchange for the chance to listen to Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith albums), to her emergence on Harlem's club scene, to sold-out performances with the Count Basie Orchestra and with Artie Shaw and his band, this revelatory memoir is notable for its trenchant observations on the racism that darkened Billie's life and the heroin addiction that ended it too soon. We are with her during the mesmerizing debut of "Strange Fruit"; with her as she rubs shoulders with the biggest movie stars and musicians of the day (Bob Hope, Lana Turner, Clark Gable, Benny Goodman, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, and more); and with her through the scrapes with Jim Crow, spats with Sarah Vaughan, ignominious jailings, and tragic decline. All of this is told in Holiday's tart, streetwise style and hip patois that makes it read as if it were written yesterday.

Описание: On December 20, 2011, Egyptian women of all ages and backgrounds—urban and rural, working class and upper class—came out in force to Cairo’s Tahrir Square in one of the largest uprisings in the country’s history. The demonstrators gathered as citizens and likewise as women demanding social change and the right to gender equality. The size and impact of that uprising underscore the vital importance of women activists to what became known as the Arab Spring. In Resistance, Revolt, and Gender Justice in Egypt, Tadros charts the arc of the Egyptian women’s movement, capturing the changing dynamics of gender activism over the course of two decades. She explores the interface between feminist movements, Islamist forces, and three regime ruptures in the battle over women’s status in Egyptian society and politics. Parsing the factors that contribute to the success and failure of activist movements, Tadros provides valuable insight on sustaining social change and a vitally important perspective on women’s evolving status in a contemporary authoritarian context.
An uplifting memoir on conquering the modern midlife crisis.
Billie Best tells the story of her passage from her 40s to her 60s when everything in her life changed. Three months before her husband's death he invites his mistress to spend the weekend with him and his wife. It doesn't go well, and the emotional scars are permanent, triggering a cascade of rage, neurosis and obsessive-compulsive cleaning. It takes years for her to unravel the secrets buried in their marriage. Then she discovers some forgotten secrets of her own. To recover her sanity, she has to admit that her tidy memories are not the truth. The truth is messy.
Poignant humor on the power of women in midlife, marriage, cheating, grief, death, downsizing, starting over and learning to age well.

Описание: It happens to all of us if we live long enough. We grow older, with all the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual challenges that implies. But that's really good news. It means we're living longer, healthier lives and that we have the opportunity to continue learning and growing and contributing for a long time. Victory Lap is about all that. It's also about exercise, good diet, sleep. About our need for each other, to be involved with life and to prepare for death and the legacy we leave behind. It's about treasuring life, feeling gratitude to God and the people around us, adjusting to retirement and filling that extra time well. It's about being honest and real, with ourselves and other people. Endorsements: "Recovery from a harrowing health crisis caused accomplished author Billie Silvey to use her considerable writing and research skills to develop a model for living life's last chapter. The resulting The Victory Lap: Growing Old with God is a candid, questioning, spiritual, informative and outstanding resource for individuals and Bible study groups." --Lindy Adams, Senior Associate Editor, retired, The Christian Chronicle "Silvey's book offers practical and scriptural insights about aging, fortified by her skill as a writer and researcher. But the heart of the book is Silvey's transparency with her experiences; her willingness to take us on her journey into aging provides reasons to hope and trust in what God is doing in our own lives." --Ron Cox, Blanche E. Seaver Professor of Religion; President, Seaver Faculty Association, Pepperdine University "Faith and love flow through this book to make it both moving and wise. Silvey knows from experience how difficult aging is for purpose-driven people who have worked hard to fill their days with good deeds and accomplishments. Readers will be grateful for her courage and candor to face up to what it's really like to grow old with God." --Marilyn McCord Adams, Professor Emerita of Philosophy, UCLA, formerly Regis Professor of Divinity at Oxford About the Author Billie Silvey has spent a lifetime in Christian ministry as a writer, teacher, and urban ministry leader. She is the author of God Has a Plan for You (Ephesians), God Has a Kingdom for You (Matthew), Time Management for Christian Women (with Helen Young), God Has a Savior for You (Hebrews), God Has a Mission for You (2 Corinthians).
