Описание: This book is a lush and beautiful memoir of a very special house and a superb recreation of a bygone era.
A riveting thriller reminiscent of The Hot Zone, this true story dives into the mystery surrounding one of the most controversial and misdiagnosed conditions of our time--Lyme disease--and of Willy Burgdorfer, the man who discovered the microbe behind it, revealing his secret role in developing bug-borne biological weapons, and raising terrifying questions about the genesis of the epidemic of tick-borne diseases affecting millions of Americans today.
While on vacation on Martha's Vineyard, Kris Newby was bitten by an unseen tick. That one bite changed her life forever, pulling her into the abyss of a devastating illness that took ten doctors to diagnose and years to recover: Newby had become one of the 300,000 Americans who are afflicted with Lyme disease each year.
As a science writer, she was driven to understand why this disease is so misunderstood, and its patients so mistreated. This quest led her to Willy Burgdorfer, the Lyme microbe's discoverer, who revealed that he had developed bug-borne bioweapons during the Cold War, and believed that the Lyme epidemic was started by a military experiment gone wrong.
In a superb, meticulous work of narrative journalism, Bitten takes readers on a journey to investigate these claims, from biological weapons facilities to interviews with biosecurity experts and microbiologists doing cutting-edge research, all the while uncovering darker truths about Willy. It also leads her to uncomfortable questions about why Lyme can be so difficult to both diagnose and treat, and why the government is so reluctant to classify chronic Lyme as a disease.
A gripping, infectious page-turner, Bitten will shed a terrifying new light on an epidemic that is exacting an incalculable toll on us, upending much of what we believe we know about it.

Описание: In this important book of Quaker spirituality, Jim Newby writes about his spiritual journey and the ways he has sought to navigate an increasingly complex world and understand his purpose in it. A lifelong Quaker, Newby seeks to discern the primary ways in which he has grown spiritually, which are divided into the following parts: turning inward, community and relationship, pain and growth, path of a seeker, and affirmations. Each chapter within these parts concludes with queries to encourage readers to reflect upon their own spiritual journeys. Readers may find what Newby writes humorous, or his writing may provoke tears, questions, and challenges to one's beliefs. Humor and tears, questions and spiritual challenges, are all of God, for to grow in Spirit encompasses all the feelings and emotions through which we pass in this life. In the words of Newby's late friend and author, Malcolm Muggeridge, "Every happening great and small is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message." These reflections are Newby's attempt to get the message.

Описание: The publication I can't nail the days down documents, contextualizes, and supplements Kate Newby's eponymous exhibition at Kunsthalle Wien.
Newby's works celebrate the moment in which her sculptures and interventions are created and presented, and at the same time allow for an openness to change. Drawn from impressions she collects when navigating cities and landscapes, Newby's works foreground processes: Traces of their making remain visible, they incidentally transform over time and call for active engagement in order to view their multifaceted details.
Her works focus on the fleeting and contingent nature of the quotidian and stay connected to the place and time of their presentation. Due to the fleeting nature of Newby's works, documentation is in many cases the only record that remains. The publication includes substantial documentation of the Vienna exhibition as well as a photo essay by the artist. Contributions by Christina Barton, Juliane Bischoff, Chris Kraus, and Nicolaus Schafhausen explore the artist's influences, the social of her work, and its poetic potential. The publication discusses the development of the exhibition "I can't nail the days down," and clarifies how the presented work operated. It ponders on Newby's relation to art movements of the 1960s and '70s as well as her responsiveness to sites and situations, and brings together reflections on the quotidian character of her works as well as every day stories.
Newby takes up material realities and their details in different intensities--not to replicate existing lifeworlds, but to direct attention to often overlooked and changing aspects in the larger social fabric. Manifestations of how the artist perceives the world around her, her works invite us to take a closer look and discover what is situated out of sight.
Humans are emotionally ignorant not because we have to be but only because we don't make emotions a legitimate focus of learning.
You may see emotions as a problem, but if you reflect on the challenges in your life you'll find that many stem from a lack of emotional understanding of yourself or others. This can be changed.
Imagine a life where you could accurately name the emotions you are feeling, more easily navigate from one to the next and leverage them as a life skill. The 150 emotions described here in detail will give you a new understanding of their usefulness and importance.
Emotional literacy is a critical area of learning for leaders, educators, coaches, parents, and individuals. Embracing this learning will fundamentally change your relationship with emotions, your capacity to build healthy relationships and ability to create a life you love.
