"The last thing I expected to do while reading this colorful and celebratory book for youth was cry, but as I went through each page I found myself with tears streaming down my face. Tears for my "past pre-teen self" who finally, after twenty years, felt seen... and tears for the next generation of amazing humans who will have this extraordinary guidebook (and Sonya) to hold their hand while explaining how their bodies are undeniably remarkable in every way."—Jes Baker, Body Positive Activist, author of Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls​ and Landwhale"Celebrate Your Body is a wonderful book full of wisdom and affirmation for young girls at a time when their lives are fraught with change. Thank you, Sonya Renee, for writing a book about puberty that is both informative and joyous! What a gift! A must read for the tweens in all of ourlives."—Deb Hauser, President, Advocates for Youth"This book exemplifies the love and care that is necessary to help young people grow into healthy adults. As an educator, I am privy to unfortunate outcomes of miseducation when talking about puberty. Sonya has managed to create an experience of celebration through her thoughtful approach to delivering the facts about puberty in a way that can help girls feel proud of their bodies and the puberty experience."―Patrick Smith Director of Education, Equity & Inclusion, Planned Parenthood Southeastern PennsylvaniaSONYA RENEE TAYLOR is the Founder and Radical Executive Officer of TheBodyIsNotAnApology.com, a digital media and education company committed to radical self-love and body empowerment as the foundational tool for social justice and global transformation.

Puberty comes with a lot of changes. Celebrate Your Body (And Its Changes, Too!) will help girls understand (and love) their bodies now and as they continue to grow.

For many girls, puberty can be an uncertain time. Celebrate Your Body (And Its Changes, Too!) includes everything girls need to know about breasts and bras, their period, hair here and there, feelings and friends, and so much more. This book will guide them as they learn about (and celebrate) their amazing, changing, one-of-a-kind bodies―during puberty and beyond!

Among puberty books for girls, Celebrate Your Body offers encouraging support while answering real questions that girls have about puberty. Positive, judgment-free, and medically accurate, this book discusses puberty in a way to which young girls can relate.

Celebrate Your Body offers essential insight such as:

  • An overview of puberty that explains what happens, when it happens, and how she’ll know
  • Explanations of changes in body, mood, and relationships―and how to confidently approach these changes that occur in puberty
  • Practical advice for navigating new situations during puberty―from understanding growth spurts to managing overwhelming emotions to staying safe on social media

Complete with current, accessible medical information, Celebrate Your Body offers a fresh take on this whole “puberty” thing that will leave girls feeling informed, empowered, and ready for the changes that lie ahead.

This is the book you need. I was going to purchase a different but well - known book about puberty for my daughter, but read quite a number of negative reviews about how that book gave their daughters insecurities about their bodies... which is what I was trying to avoid by purchasing such a book! Celebrate Your Body is the complete opposite! It's informative in a helpful, kind, and realistic way. I highly recommend this book for any parent/guardian of a pre-teen girl.A MUST READ FOR GIRLS WHO HAVE STARTED PUBERTY YOUNG My daughter started the puberty train ( as Sonya describes it) when she was about 5. I noticed her leg hairs were getting darker and at the time, I didn't think much about it. And then around 6 it was confirmed by her doctor. She is now 7 and has started growing hair.. now there was no more pushing the talk. After tremendous research and reading countless reviews, I finally settled for this book and I couldn't be more happy with my decision. First and I think most importantly, the book has such a positive outlook on a girls body and the changes they will experience. Second and what I also feel is important, the author often mentions that this changes can come earlier for some girls while later for other girls. I love that she mentions that girls can start as early as 5 or 6. As a mother of a child starting puberty at a young age, it is very important for my child to hear it's very normal from an outside source.I also like that this book didn't cover sexual intercourse and topics related to intercourse because my child is still too young for that talk and I don't have to worry about her stumbling across that in the book. The book was written simply enough that it was easy to understand and felt like you were having a conversation. Younger readers will be able easily follow along. So that goes without saying that this book just just an introduction to their body's and will need another book to cover the other half of the puberty train.Amazing Book! This is the book I wish I had a tween. I bought it for my daughter and read through it ahead of time. Its appropriate, very body positive, encouraging, and filled to the brim with great messages and information about puberty. Its inclusive about body types, skin colors, and hair types. Its non judgmental and doesn't tell a girl what she ought to be doing with her body, and it approaches some topics like shaving in a way that lets the child know that the choice is theirs to make and whatever they choose is a valid way to take care of their body. The overall lesson is consistently self acceptance and personal empowerment. I would LOVE to see an equivalent book for my sons!

The Education of an Idealist Download

ISBN: B07VKB7K8F
Title: The Education of an Idealist Pdf A Memoir

"[Power's] absorbing, heartfelt, and remarkably candid memoir [...] offers essential lessons to anyone aspiring to follow in her footsteps in shaping the world for the better." (Madeleine Albright)

Pulitzer Prize winner Samantha Power, widely known as a relentless advocate for promoting human rights, has been heralded by President Barack Obama as one of America's "foremost thinkers on foreign policy.

In her memoir, Power offers an urgent response to the question "What can one person do?" - and a call for a clearer eye, a kinder heart, and a more open and civil hand in our politics and daily lives. The Education of an Idealist traces Power's distinctly American journey from immigrant to war correspondent to presidential Cabinet official. In 2005, her critiques of US foreign policy caught the eye of newly elected senator Barack Obama, who invited her to work with him on Capitol Hill and then on his presidential campaign. After Obama was elected president, Power went from being an activist outsider to a government insider, navigating the halls of power while trying to put her ideals into practice. She served for four years as Obama's human rights adviser, and in 2013, he named her US Ambassador to the United Nations, the youngest American to assume the role.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, Power transports us from her childhood in Dublin to the streets of war-torn Bosnia to the White House Situation Room and the world of high-stakes diplomacy. Humorous and deeply honest, The Education of an Idealist lays bare the searing battles and defining moments of her life and shows how she juggled the demands of a 24/7 national security job with the challenge of raising two young children. Along the way, she illuminates the intricacies of politics and geopolitics, reminding us how the United States can lead in the world, and why we each have the opportunity to advance the cause of human dignity. Power's memoir is an unforgettable account of the power of idealism - and of one person's fierce determination to make a difference.

JAY-Z Pdf

ISBN: 1250230969
Title: JAY-Z Pdf Made in America
Author: Michael Eric Dyson
Published Date: 2019-11-26
Page: 240

Named a November must-read by Salon | A The Washington Post 50 notable works of nonfiction in 2019 "Under Dyson’s guidance, to read about Jay-Z is to learn not just about the journey and works but also about ourselves, our history, our world, and our way forward... we are sitting in a classroom under the spell of a captivating teacher." ―Library Journal, Starred Review "[An] astute cultural biography... Dyson’s excellent study serves as a succinct blueprint of Jay-Z’s artistry and legacy." ―Publisher's Weekly"[Dyson] makes his case that as a truth-telling racial unifier, political influence, and 'vocal evangelist for developing generational wealth in black communities,' Jay-Z represents a symbol of 'overcoming' for hip-hop culture and American society." ―Booklist“Michael Eric Dyson, a preeminent public intellectual, has covered the waterfront of black cultural criticism ― from politics to pop culture, from race to religion. With JAY-Z: Made in America, he returns to his roots and offers us a poignant portrait of one of hip hop’s most intriguing figures, a brilliant self-made man who, if he didn’t exist, you’d have to invent. This tour de force takes full measure of an icon who is an American original like no other!” ―Henry-Louis Gates“If you want the definitive treatment of a man who took it from Marcy Projects to the White House with wit, wisdom, and talent, and changed hip hop along the way, look no further than this insightful and moving book.” ―Common"My Brooklyn Homeboy JAY-Z is one of the most prolific and gifted rappers of all time. My man Michael Eric Dyson is uniquely qualified to interpret JAY-Z’s art and cultural meaning, and this dope book is all the proof we need." ―Spike Lee“As a proud standard bearer of hip hop’s golden age, I greatly admire Jay-Z’s lyrical talent, and just as important, his business acumen. This brilliant book not only explains Jay’s magnificent artistry and career, but it sheds light on the broader American culture as well.” ―Queen Latifah “Jay-Z is one of the most remarkable figures of our time. I identify with him as a person who started poor but who rose high to conquer our realms on our own terms. This brilliant work probes every dimension of this iconic American original.” ―Tyler Perry“Michael Eric Dyson is the perfect thinker and writer to grapple with Jay-Z’s artistic and political meaning. This is a fascinating and fulfilling book that eloquently engages one of the most profound and influential artists of our time.” ―Al Sharpton “Jay-Z's music has helped to shape a generation, and his rise from hustler to billionaire is an inspiration to millions. Michael Eric Dyson, himself a gifted writer and inspiring thinker who has risen from the bottom too, offers us a bracing, brilliant look at an iconic American. This book is eloquent and profound, and will help all of us understand why Jay-Z is in a class by himself.” ―Tamron HallMICHAEL ERIC DYSON is one of America’s premier public intellectuals and the author of the New York Times bestsellers Tears We Cannot Stop and What Truth Sounds Like. He occupies the distinguished position of University Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University, is a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times, and is a contributing editor of The New Republic and ESPN’s The Undefeated. Ebony magazine named him one of the 100 Most Influential African Americans and one of the 150 most powerful blacks in the nation.

"Dyson's incisive analysis of JAY-Z's brilliance not only offers a brief history of hip-hop's critical place in American culture, but also hints at how we can best move forward." ―Questlove

JAY-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dyson’s decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper, he’s sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist he’s been for so long.

This book wrestles with the biggest themes of JAY-Z's career, including hustling, and it recognizes the way that he’s always weaved politics into his music, making important statements about race, criminal justice, black wealth and social injustice. As he enters his fifties, and to mark his thirty years as a recording artist, this is the perfect time to take a look at JAY-Z’s career and his role in making this nation what it is today.

In many ways, this is JAY-Z’s America as much as it’s Pelosi’s America, or Trump’s America, or Martin Luther King’s America. JAY-Z has given this country a language to think with and words to live by.

Featuring a Foreword by Pharrell

Thrivers vs Thrashed--why is life so hard in urban America? Thrivers vs Thrashed...and the hustle. Jay-Z has a very incisive insight into why some African Americans have made it but why there is still such trauma in the urban communities. You almost can't listen to anyone else--this guy has a stethoscope on the heart of the issues. A must-readThis book is terrible Hated it.$BILLIONAIRE 💋Impeccably penned. Pensive pursuit.

The Lucifer Effect Pdf

ISBN: 0812974441
Title: The Lucifer Effect Pdf Understanding How Good People Turn Evil
Author: Philip G. Zimbardo
Published Date: 2008
Page: 551

“The Lucifer Effect will change forever the way you think about why we behave the way we do—and, in particular, about the human potential for evil. This is a disturbing book, but one that has never been more necessary.”—Malcolm Gladwell  “An important book . . . All politicians and social commentators . . . should read this.”—The Times (London)“Powerful . . . an extraordinarily valuable addition to the literature of the psychology of violence or ‘evil.’”—The American Prospect   “Penetrating . . . Combining a dense but readable and often engrossing exposition of social psychology research with an impassioned moral seriousness, Zimbardo challenges readers to look beyond glib denunciations of evil-doers and ponder our collective responsibility for the world’s ills.”—Publishers Weekly   “A sprawling discussion . . . With this book, Zimbardo couples a thorough narrative of the Stanford Prison Experiment with an analysis of the social dynamics of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, arguing that the ‘experimental dehumanization’ of the former is instructive in understanding the abusive conduct of guards at the latter.”—Booklist   “In the Stanford Prison Experiment, Philip Zimbardo bottled evil in a laboratory. The lessons he learned show us our dark nature but also fill us with hope if we heed their counsel. The Lucifer Effect reads like a novel.”—Anthony Pratkanis, Ph.D., professor emeritus of psychology, University of California Philip Zimbardo is professor emeritus of psychology at Stanford University and has also taught at Yale University, New York University, and Columbia University. He is the co-author of Psychology and Life and author of Shyness, which together have sold more than 2.5 million copies. Zimbardo has been president of the American Psychological Association and is now director of the Stanford Center on Interdisciplinary Policy, Education, and Research on Terrorism. He also narrated the award-winning PBS series Discovering Psychology, which he helped create. In 2004, he acted as an expert witness in the court-martial hearings of one of the American army reservists accused of criminal behavior in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. His informative website, www.prisonexperiment.org is visited by millions every year. Visit the author’s personal website at www.zimbardo.com.

The definitive firsthand account of the groundbreaking research of Philip Zimbardo—the basis for the award-winning film The Stanford Prison Experiment

Renowned social psychologist and creator of the Stanford Prison Experiment Philip Zimbardo explores the mechanisms that make good people do bad things, how moral people can be seduced into acting immorally, and what this says about the line separating good from evil.

The Lucifer Effect explains how—and the myriad reasons why—we are all susceptible to the lure of “the dark side.” Drawing on examples from history as well as his own trailblazing research, Zimbardo details how situational forces and group dynamics can work in concert to make monsters out of decent men and women. 

Here, for the first time and in detail, Zimbardo tells the full story of the Stanford Prison Experiment, the landmark study in which a group of college-student volunteers was randomly divided into “guards” and “inmates” and then placed in a mock prison environment. Within a week the study was abandoned, as ordinary college students were transformed into either brutal, sadistic guards or emotionally broken prisoners.

By illuminating the psychological causes behind such disturbing metamorphoses, Zimbardo enables us to better understand a variety of harrowing phenomena, from corporate malfeasance to organized genocide to how once upstanding American soldiers came to abuse and torture Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib. He replaces the long-held notion of the “bad apple” with that of the “bad barrel”—the idea that the social setting and the system contaminate the individual, rather than the other way around.

This is a book that dares to hold a mirror up to mankind, showing us that we might not be who we think we are. While forcing us to reexamine what we are capable of doing when caught up in the crucible of behavioral dynamics, though, Zimbardo also offers hope. We are capable of resisting evil, he argues, and can even teach ourselves to act heroically. Like Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem and Steven Pinker’s The Blank Slate, The Lucifer Effect is a shocking, engrossing study that will change the way we view human behavior.

Praise for The Lucifer Effect

The Lucifer Effect will change forever the way you think about why we behave the way we do—and, in particular, about the human potential for evil. This is a disturbing book, but one that has never been more necessary.”—Malcolm Gladwell

“An important book . . . All politicians and social commentators . . . should read this.”The Times (London)

“Powerful . . . an extraordinarily valuable addition to the literature of the psychology of violence or ‘evil.’”The American Prospect

“Penetrating . . . Combining a dense but readable and often engrossing exposition of social psychology research with an impassioned moral seriousness, Zimbardo challenges readers to look beyond glib denunciations of evil-doers and ponder our collective responsibility for the world’s ills.”Publishers Weekly

“A sprawling discussion . . . Zimbardo couples a thorough narrative of the Stanford Prison Experiment with an analysis of the social dynamics of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.”Booklist

“Zimbardo bottled evil in a laboratory. The lessons he learned show us our dark nature but also fill us with hope if we heed their counsel. The Lucifer Effect reads like a novel.”—Anthony Pratkanis, Ph.D., professor emeritus of psychology, University of California

The problem with psychology is that psychologists are delusional. The basic argument here is that the problem occurs as a consequence of the situation and a power imbalance. Though, indeed a negative situation is not conducive to "goodness" and power imbalances can lead to abuses, Zimbardo, like other psychologists are as delusional as the Dalai Lama. They are arguing on the surface and not accounting for differences in the population. Who is more likely to take advantage of the situation? Who is more likely to abuse their power? Who is the target?All of these experiments are also done using "prototypes". I would like to see Zimbardo and other psychologists make the Bloods and the Crips get along. Maybe they can bring together some psychopaths to gather around a campfire with a teenage girl. Regardless of the situation, "evil minds" will find creative ways to commit acts that are made to seem innocuous of any crime. Recently, NYC has been running ads that "It's Not Just A Joke, It's Sexual Harassment". That which is inconvenient becomes subverted.In my opinion, psychologists should be advocates for a systematic "branding and branding" of people, yet their optimism allows psychopaths, sadists, masochists, and sociopaths to move about freely and hide behind statuses. Psychologists have no idea about what they are talking about because everything they speak is a generalization or some "peer reviewed" nonsense that means nothing.The problem with this field is that it has no overarching theory to make sense of anything. You have many divisions and all at war with each other. What psychologists don't understand is that our "psychology" is a result of an evolution against "human predators". We are evolving away from "mental illness". "Mental illness" is a result of the conflicts between persons, groups, and the struggle for existence. "Mental illness" appears on a decline, and regardless of the "diagnoses", the problem is not the "diagnoses", which is only a "symptom" caused by the "actual problem".Though, Zimbardo's work may be of significance, his approach is wrong because his outlook is absurd as a consequence of him not having any direction. Psychology operates on a false paradigm. I would even go so far as to say that psychologists think that the mind is detached from the body, even if they say the opposite, their work may reveal otherwise because they would be bend to the consensus to avoid alienating anyone. Psychology is a very dangerous science which should reveal that the world is actually an "insane asylum", hence why psychiatrists need to take into account "cultural and historical relativism" when making a diagnoses.I suspect that regardless of the situation, people who feel connected to each other will not cause the situation to devolve. Regardless of power imbalances, people who feel connected with each other will work together. If you add a Milgram experiment on top of the Standford Prison experiment, people who feel connected with each other should find ways to outsmart Milgram and escape the Standford Prison. "Connection" can be social, and situational, but at it's core, it needs to be "existential".Does anyone else think that Zimbardo looks like "Lucifer"? Why did his girlfriend have to intervene to stop the experiment. The "objective psychologist" became delusional about his own experiment and was facilitating a situation that would have otherwise caused harm. He was a bystander, enjoying abuses by 1 group against another. As he has aged, he has become numb to empathizing with the suffering of others. His girlfriend proves that women would be more cued into empathize, but the qualifier is that I cannot generalize about all women.I suspect that Zimbardo's girlfriend was of a certain type, as some people would enjoy the suffering of others as it would de-emphasize their own distaste for themselves. Here's an example of why generalizing cannot work: in times of tragedy, you may value your life more, or you could be thankful that tragedy did not befell you. This creates a dichotomy of perception. People on the positive side of the scale would value their life more, but people on the negative would be thankful that it was not them. The latter is lacks empathy for the subjects tragedy and should reveal a sinister psychology. Regardless, you can make a scale that can rate people as to what degree they adhere to either, and figure out if it is "conditional or situational; long-term or short-term".I just demonstrated how you can "brand and grade" people. This however would be thought of as inhumane, so the "great and wise" Dalai Lama should be deferred to. Regardless, of psychologists denying this, their work is bending toward the ideals of designated "wise men" of the world. In psych wards, the population is not divided and individuals quarantined, and just like in society, all the crazies are moving toward you. The Dalai Lama wants us to have "compassion" and the psychologists can't systematically "distinguish" anyone because that would be "discrimination".Give the crazies freedom, and have tolerance because "we all make mistakes". It's the situation that causes "bad things". When the news reports on the latest rape victim, don't say that I didn't warn you.Read this A book everyone must read. Let me rephrase- a study every educated person should know about in some detail .Of all the things that have been written about this study, the one I find the most intriguing is that the vast majority of the volunteers hoped to be assigned the "prisoner role". The guard and the prisoner roles were randomly assigned, during an era when many young people had lifestyles and ideals for which they could conceivably be arrested. As such, a number of volunteers voiced the opinion that "the experiment" would be good practice for them, if they were ever incarcerated, to learn to be strong and conduct themselves with integrity.What really happened, and how quickly the veneer of civilization wore off as soon as "guard" roles were designated is chilling, but well worth reading.

Great book for improving math skills! My son has loved using this book to improve his math skills. We put it in a binder with some dry erase markers, so it can be used over and over. Especially on pages he has trouble with. He likes to time himself to see how much he's improved! Highly recommend!Crappy Resource There is no key to the timings and Day 12 says its x2, but it is x3 so totally defective. My students noticed and it is too late for a return. If you are not a teacher, may be a cheap alternative. However, does not do Mad Minute or any other decent program justice. You can probably find free worksheets better than this option. Not happy its 'archived' as far as returns go.Short test, great format We are using this for summer learning and skills retention.

Running with Sherman Pdf

ISBN: 1524732362
Title: Running with Sherman Pdf The Donkey with the Heart of a Hero
Author: Christopher McDougall
Published Date: 2019
Page: 352

An Amazon Best Book of October 2019: Readers—and runners—will recognize Christopher McDougall’s name as the author of the best-seller Born to Run, and his latest, Running with Sherman, is part animal love story, part adventure book, part feminist running manifesto, and part scientific exploration into healing. What it lacks in the cutting edge scientific research that helped make Born to Run a hit, it makes up for with heart and…fuzzy animals. Journalist McDougall lives on a farm in Amish Country (PA), and one day his neighbor alerts him to a donkey that has been neglected by its hoarder owner. McDougall adopts the donkey—Sherman—sight unseen and receives a traumatized, unhealthy animal who can barely walk due to his neglected hooves. While nursing Sherman back to health with the help of an equine expert, McDougall learns that donkeys thrive from having a job, and he remembers that ambitious athletes like himself race burros once a year in Colorado. Thus kicks off McDougall and Sherman’s training for the aforementioned annual burro race. Along the way they pick up a wacky cast of characters: two additional donkey running pals; a young man recovering from depression and a suicide attempt; McDougall’s incredibly patient, former hula-dancer wife turned trail runner and donkey whisperer; an Amish running club; two women who drive McDougall and donkeys across the country…you get the idea. McDougall is a fantastic storyteller and a witty writer: “The Amish have a better retention rate than Netflix: roughly 90 percent of young Amish adults choose to stick with the faith and join the church for life.” A fascinating and inspiring hybrid nonfiction salve to the problems of our day, Running with Sherman achieves the running equivalent of a hole-in-one. --Sarah Gelman, Amazon Book Review Christopher McDougall covered wars in Rwanda and Angola as a foreign correspondent for the Associated Press before writing his best-selling book Born to Run. His fascination with the limits of human potential led him to create the Outside magazine web series, "Art of the Hero." He currently lives with his wife, two daughters, and a farmyard menagerie in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

"A delight, full of heart and hijinks and humor . . . McDougall is a gifted storyteller who gets to the heart of the human-animal connection." --John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog

From the best-selling author of Born to Run, a heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America.


When Chris McDougall agreed to take in a donkey from an animal hoarder, he thought it would be no harder than the rest of the adjustments he and his family had made after moving from Philadelphia to the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country. But when he arrived, Sherman was in such bad shape he could barely move, and his hair was coming out in clumps. Chris decided to undertake a radical rehabilitation program designed not only to heal Sherman's body but to heal his mind as well. It turns out the best way to soothe a donkey is to give it a job, and so Chris decided to teach Sherman how to run. He'd heard about burro racing--a unique type of race where humans and donkeys run together in a call-back to mining days--and decided he and Sherman would enter the World Championship in Colorado.

Easier said than done. In the course of Sherman's training, Chris would have to recruit several other runners, both human and equine, and call upon the wisdom of burro racers, goat farmers, Amish running club members, and a group of irrepressible female long-haul truckers. Along the way, he shows us the life-changing power of animals, nature, and community.

Inspiration From A Man And A Donkey I loved the science in this book and have been reciting the facts to any one who will listen. I have learned so much about donkeys and people. The many photos connect you even more to their stories. There is a main story of the people who became involved to first save the donkey, Sherman's life, then to bring him out of depression then to give him a purpose, a reason to live.Spinning around the central story are many stories of Christ McDougall's life before he met Mika, his future wife, then their life together, all the friends that they made in Amish country and tales of the famous donkey race in Colorado, and humor filled stories , of people trying to recover after devastating circumstances and the quirky behavior of donkeys.This book wraps up deep into the story and before you know it, you are wondering how you can squeeze a little more time reading. I knew it would happen but I was prepared for the big disappointment that the book was finally over. I had to take a few days after reading it to contemplate all that I loved and learned before writing this reveiw.A feel-good book, especially for animal and sports lovers There's nothing not to like about this heart-warming book. The author is a former journalist who knows how to keep his sentences from rambling and his focus on point. He's a dedicated runner, as his two previous books attest. I am NOT a runner, nor an athlete of any kind, but I enjoyed all the interesting encounters with those who are, the stories of sports I'd never heard of before. Tied to his passion for running is his passion for animals, and that's where I tumbled into the book. Sherman, whose winsome portrait adorns the cover, was a rescue donkey. When the author saw in what dreadful shape the poor creature was, he left no option unexplored in his search to bring Sherman back into health and happiness. This book is a wonderful journey through their mutual encounters with people, places, and projects, until success is achieved and Sherman becomes what he was always meant to be. Frankly, even if you don't like animals or sports, this is so engagingly written that you'll enjoy it for itself. The first thing I did was to get the other two books by the author, because I can tell I'll enjoy them, too.a must-read: inspiring, well-written, and fascinating I *loved* this book.I've read a ton of running books, a ton of "animal and me" books, and a ton of memoirs about accomplishing specific goals within a specific time period and this was, hands down, a favorite in all three genres.Sherman is a neglected donkey who is on the edge of death when he arrives at writer Chris McDougall's farm in Pennsylvania. Desperate to give this little guy a second chance at a good life, a local animal expert tells Chris that Sherman's got to have a purpose. So McDougall decides to run with Sherman every day, perhaps even train him for a burro race that takes place in Colorado every year.The book is what happens over the course of that year. There's no "Circle of Life" moments here, so animal lovers need not worry. Sherman does well, and makes quite a few friends- human and animal- along the way. As Sherman and Chris train and work together, many people come forward to lend advice, equipment, encouragement and their stories are all shared in this book- everything from the history of the Amish and Mennonite communities to donkey lore to different approaches to training for long distance runs to research on depression to what it's like to run a small farm is covered in this book, all in an interested and well-researched way.I love Chris McDougall's "voice"- as well. It's absolutely genuine and hooked me from the first page. Some memoirs/running books are too much about the hardships and become too formal, some try way too hard to be casual and end up cringe-inducing. But "Running with Sherman" is perfectly written- McDougall doesn't hide who he is, how he feels about things, and his love and admiration and gratitude for all involved.I can't recommend this book enough. It was so inspiring, My husband and I are hoping one day to move up north and get a little land and hopefully do a little bit of what Chris McDougall and his family do- create a safe space for some animals that need a home. I'm also a distance swimmer, so this book hit everything for me.Absolutely recommended.

The Child of Auschwitz Pdf

ISBN: B07WF74ZM1
Title: The Child of Auschwitz Pdf Absolutely heartbreaking World War 2 historical fiction
‘She touched the photograph in its gilt frame that was always on her desk, of a young, thin woman with very short hair and a baby in her arms. She had one last story to tell. Theirs. And it began in hell on earth.’

It is 1942 and Eva Adami has boarded a train to Auschwitz. Barely able to breathe due to the press of bodies and exhausted from standing up for two days, she can think only of her longed-for reunion with her husband Michal, who was sent there six months earlier.

But when Eva arrives at Auschwitz, there is no sign of Michal and the stark reality of the camp comes crashing down upon her. As she lies heartbroken and shivering on a thin mattress, her head shaved by rough hands, she hears a whisper. Her bunkmate, Sofie, is reaching out her hand...

As the days pass, the two women learn each other’s hopes and dreams – Eva’s is that she will find Michal alive in this terrible place, and Sofie’s is that she will be reunited with her son Tomas, over the border in an orphanage in Austria. Sofie sees the chance to engineer one last meeting between Eva and Michal and knows she must take it even if means befriending the enemy…

But when Eva realises she is pregnant she fears she has endangered both their lives. The women promise to protect each other’s children, should the worst occur. For they are determined to hold on to the last flower of hope in the shadows and degradation: their precious children, who they pray will live to tell their story when they no longer can.

A heart-breaking story of survival, where life or death relies on the smallest chance and happiness can be found in the darkest times. Fans of The Choice and The Tattooist of Auschwitz will fall in love with this beautiful novel.
