![]() ![]() ![]() This book is an exploration of Black mental health in today’s world, the forces that have undermined mental health progress for African Americans, and what needs to happen for African Americans to heal psychological distress, find community, and undo years of stigma and marginalization in order to access effective mental health care. Black people die at disproportionately high rates due to chronic illness, suffer from poverty, under-education, and the effects of racism. We can’t deny it any longer: there is a Black mental health crisis in our world today. An unapologetic exploration of the Black mental health crisis-and a comprehensive road map to getting the care you deserve in an unequal system. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Is autogynephilia (AGP) a sexuality, a paraphilia, or both? Is male bisexuality linked to AGP? How common is AGP? (Bailey: “We don’t know.” Corinna: “Very, at tech conferences.”) What are the similarities between autogynephiles, furries, wannabe amputees, and "adult babies"? Can women be GAMPs? Are traps gay? What is up with adult AGP men favoring castrating AGP boys? Questions abound, but one thing is for certain: it’s one hell of a paraphilia. ![]() J Michael Bailey authored the seminal The Man Who Would Be Queen, which attempted to bring to a mainstream audience Blachard’s “Two Types” of male transsexuality: effeminate homosexuals, and autogynephiles, men sexually aroused at the idea of themselves as women. Written by cutting-edge researcher and sex expert J. ![]() ![]() ![]() (16 variations including faces, soccer ball, animals, triangles, spheres) Perfect for parents looking to liven up their children's school lunches or park snacks, or for busy people who want to fix a quick and cheerful meal to take to work, Kawaii Bento Boxes highlights the Japanese passion for making food a treat for the eyes as well as for the mouth. Here are whimsical creations like soccer balls and animal faces made from shaped rice, tulips cut from dyed hardboiled eggs, hearts and stars carved out of vegetables, and much more. Most of the ingredients used are familiar and available to American cooks. ![]() There are also suggestions for the right container for each meal. The meals are not just easy to make, they are tasty, nutritious and economical, with each portion carefully calculated so that there are no leftovers. ![]() For each box, the authors include detailed instructions for cooking, seasoning, decorating and assembling the components as well as an icon indicating how long it will take to prepare. Kawaii Bento Boxes offers dozens of recipes and menus. Although bento boxes are available to take out from restaurants and food stands, they are most frequently prepared at home, very often by parents wishing to provide their children with delicious, healthy, fun-and environmentally responsible-lunch and snack-time alternatives. A bento box meal (single portions of different foods packed in one reusable container) is a Japanese tradition that lends itself well to today's busy lifestyle. ![]() ![]() His story "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road" was adapted to film for Showtime's "Masters of Horror," and he adapted his short story "Christmas with the Dead" to film hisownself.

Lansdale is the author of over forty novels and numerous short stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() Overall Impressions: I'm just going to have to steal my impressions from my last review, because my feelings remain exactly the same. Nothing that would stop me from reading the book again though. It was definitely still satisfying, and wrapped the story up nicely, but after 190 or so pages of tension, I didn't feel like it crescendoed quite high enough. What Drove Me Crazy: The ending of the story, to me, felt a little rushed. That tension keeps the reader turning the pages, and the pacing is almost perfect. Martina and Maraav are gorgeously strained, reaching for each other across a stage, and across the gulf made by the antagonist, Alan Jung. Real, broken, impetuous and desperate people trying to find a way to keep moving forward. ![]() What I Loved: The things I love about this book are the same as the previous one the beautiful descriptions, and the characters. ![]() Lewandowski paints beautiful wordscapes, and while I tend to lean towards starker writing styles myself, I can't help but linger on certain sentences to enjoy the lovely structure and poetry. The story takes off right where we left our two protagonists, and I was immediately sucked right back in. First Impressions: The grammatical issues of the first book were nowhere to be seen in the conclusion of this romance. ![]() ![]() However, the audiobook performance leaves some things to be desired. So from the point of view of content, the book is a good read, whether in dead tree form, Kindle ebook, or audiobook. He definitely took the time to get the technical details simplified but correct. As a long time professional software developer myself, I must credit him for (for example) his terrific explanation of double-page faults. ![]() Kidder does an excellent job of explaining the technical issues clearly to an educated layman. While the author tries to tell the story in an unbiased way, nowhere in the book is it mentioned that Tracy Kidder was college roommate's with Tom West, which is how he came to be writing that story. Let's start with the story itself: It is definitely a bit of a hagiography to the 32-bit Eclipse team at Data General. Unfortunately, I was a little bit disappointed. ![]() So I was really excited to get it as an audiobook. In fact, it was the first Kindle book I purchased. ![]() I read this book shortly after it was published, and have re-read it every few years since. ![]() ![]() ![]() First, starting with my ignorance of the origins of Wicca and the Craft, this was without a doubt the most scholarly of introductions I could have hoped for. I found this section of the book thoroughly fascinating for several reasons. She also devotes several whole chapters to the social and cultural movements effected by Wicca (feminism, ecological preservation and gay rights to name a few). ![]() She then describes in rough terms the customs that many (but stresses not all) Wicca and Craft groups and covens practice. Then, Adler goes on to describe the opinions of many contemporary authors over the past 35 years who have weighed in on the subject. The “definitions” and earliest modern origins of witchcraft and Wicca are described in detail, citing authors like Charles Leland, Margaret Murray and Gerald Gardner. The first third of the book deals with the description of modern Wicca and the Craft movement. ![]() That being said, the following is what I came away with after reading it. Anyone who has read (or attempted to read) Adler’s work will immediately recognize that a single essay is not sufficient to truly capture the breadth and depth of her work. “Drawing Down the Moon” by Margot Adler is a truly monumental work of scholarship and journalism. ![]() ![]() Mitchell's best-known work, "Cloud Atlas," advanced over a span of centuries, chapter by chapter, starting in the mid-1800s and arriving at some distant postapocalyptic future - then wound backward the same way it came. ![]() His books involve a lot of metaphysical whiz-bangery. Mitchell's peripatetic prose skips across the globe, its author displaying an impressive authority wherever he lands. Mitchell is the British wunderkind, twice shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, whose ambitious novels tend to belong to their own sort of genre: postmodern-ish, exuberantly written, with an archivist's affection for the dusty corners of history. But because this is a book by David Mitchell, things are an order of magnitude more complicated. ![]() Decent ingredients for a satisfying thriller. ![]() ![]() ![]() So she dresses as a man, and basically just tries to survive. How she's immediately assaulted and realizes that most men left alive are now hunting down women, she is now a commodity. Basically so many people died, the government collapsed because there was no more police, or anyone to keep the power or water plants running. ![]() The MC is a woman who works as a labor and delivery nurse, who catches the fever, and when she wakes up the whole world has gone to hell. All pregnancies that come to term have a 100% fetal mortality rate. Fatal to 99% of women, almost always fatal to women who are pregnant. The basic premise is, a fever has taken out 98% of the world's population. Not only is a really good read with a unique style, but it was really realistic about how when shtf, what women would go through. If you haven't read or heard about it, I highly suggest. ![]() |
