"Combining the latest developments and research discoveries, board-certified gastroenterologist and medical host on CNN and Fox News, Dr. Roshini Raj…
shows the ways in which the microbiome impacts overall well-being, and helps readers reset their biological clocks by improving their gut health. With one in four Americans suffering from digestive health issues every day, gut health has become an increasingly important part of wellness. With the human body, so many issues can be improved upon, or cured, by balancing the microbiome. But the microbiome--a community of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts that dwell in the body--has long been something that the average person can find baffling--and maybe a little bit gross. By offering simple and straightforward answers to questions like what one should be eating, what probiotics are, which vitamins and medicines really work, Dr. Raj demystifies the gut. She uses the idea of a home renovation to show how different organs and parts of the body can be "renovated" in order to optimize the microbiome. After all, balancing one's microbiome improves digestive health, brain function, emotional stability, the body's response to inflammation, immunity, and lessens premature aging. Melding the latest developments and discoveries in microbiome research, along with Dr. Raj's practical tips developed from her years of clinical experience, Gut Renovation shows readers how to turn back the biological clock and revamp the way they live forever." -- Provided by publisher![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/UZ/UZbhITiy4AFlizkwPmOPQhop3potKl7otL335XbEfnI-SMALL.png)

Long players: a love story in eighteen songs (A Penguin Original)
Par Peter Coviello. 2018
A passionate, heartfelt story about the many ways we fall in love: with books, bands and records, friends and lovers,…
and the families we make. Have you ever fallen in love--exalting, wracking, hilarious love--with a song? Long Players is a book about that everyday kind of besottedness--and, also, about those other, more entangling sorts of love that songs can propel us into. We follow Peter Coviello through his happy marriage, his blindsiding divorce, and his fumbling post marital forays into sex and romance. Above all we travel with him as he calibrates, mix by mix and song by song, his place in the lives of two little girls, his suddenly ex-stepdaughters. In his grief, he considers what keeps us alive (sex, talk, dancing) and the limitless grace of pop songs Adult. Strong language.

Los suicidas del fin del mundo: crónica de un pueblo patagónico (Colección Andanzas #613)
Par Leila Guerriero. 2020
"In the late 1990s, a wave of suicides rocked Las Heras, a small oil town in the province of Santa…
Cruz. Most of the dead were around twenty-five years old and were typical inhabitants of the town, children of modest but traditional families. However, the official list of these suicides was never drawn up. Leila Guerriero traveled to this desolate Patagonian spot, talked to the families and friends of the suicides, walked the same streets and visited every corner of the town. The result is this stark and precise account that not only reconstructs the tragic episodes of those years but also magnificently depicts the daily life of a community far from the big cities. Las Heras, with its wave of unemployment and lack of future for young people, is an enigma whose resolution is far from definitive: suicides, like a dismal destiny, followed one another for a long time. This is a disturbing chronicle that reads with fascination and unveils a reality marked by horror, prejudice and indifference." -- Amazon.com![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/UZ/UZbhITiy4AFlizkwPmOPQhop3potKl7otL335XbEfnI-SMALL.png)
Black skin, white masks (Get political)
Par Frantz Fanon. 2008
"Few modern voices have had as profound an impact on the black identity and critical race theory as Frantz Fanon,…
and Black Skin, White Masks represents some of his most important work. Fanon's masterwork is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of readers. A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world. Hailed for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today from one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history." -- Provided by publisher![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/Ux/Ux7UgB1bPVAhj85PW7Hgz_hqPY6de5xwVJDOQT2rNf4-SMALL.jpg)

Una canción inesperada: un testimonio bello y enriquecedor
Par Leire Quintana. 2016
"Leire Quintana decided to leave her life in a big city behind, retreat to a monastery, and learn to listen…
to her own song. How did this experience change the way she saw the world? What life lessons did she learn? Leire Quintana has a lot to tell us: 'I was overwhelmed by the thought of losing my family or friends, and even the impossibility of making new friends because I was in a cloistered monastery. Later I came to recognize that without solitude, the solitude of my cell, I could not progress. [...] Little by little I discovered the causes, the hidden needs that I hadn't known how to manage, I questioned my fears, I embraced them and I knew, by offering them my attention, that that was all they needed to disappear.'" -- Translation provided by NLS![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/C6/C6XFJSO2GJck7zsC4FMNpSgt_GvS30hSOJoLjw2YQ94-SMALL.jpg)

Nuestra hambre en la Habana: memorias del Período Especial en la Cuba de los 90
Par Enrique Del Risco. 2022
"|Our Hunger in Havana| is a book of personal memories of the 90s Cuban postwar period of peace that received…
the curious euphemism of "Special Period." In a tragicomic tone, the author describes and explains the debacle that brought cats and banana skins to the status of delicacies, pigs to that of urban pets raised in bathtubs, and the practical disappearance of public transportation, gastronomy, and alcoholic beverages. A national catastrophe told through the personal experiences of one who worked in a school, a museum, and a cemetery while trying to be young, free, and happy at the worst time in Cuba's history." -- Translation provided by NLS![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/cf/cf3UK3yzvnIiMo4d66mFJjs5-7p6bv1pbjmkolLylc0-SMALL.jpg)
Juan de Juanes: escritores, editores, agentes literarios y otras glorias y calamidades
Par Sergio Ramírez. 2014
"Memory is also a sort of homage to the friends who have accompanied us throughout life, those with whom we…
share a table, books, travels and, in the case of Sergio Ramirez, revolution. In Juan de Juanes' vast map of memories, Ramirez traces the route that takes us from his beginnings as a writer, the triumph of the Sandinista revolution in his native Nicaragua, the Alfaguara Prize in 1998, to the awarding of the 2011 José Donoso Ibero-American Literature Prize, a few days before the suicide of the Chilean writer's only heir, Pilar Donoso. In the pages of Juan de Juanes, Sergio Ramírez tells us about memorable characters in his life, to whom he remained indebted, among others Carlos Fuentes, Julio Cortázar, Augusto Monterroso, Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Ernesto Cardenal and Juan Cruz, his first editor and the starting point of this journey through Latin America." -- Translation provided by NLS![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/UZ/UZbhITiy4AFlizkwPmOPQhop3potKl7otL335XbEfnI-SMALL.png)

El hombre que movía las nubes: memorias
Par Ingrid Rojas Contreras. 2022
"For Ingrid Rojas Contreras, magic runs in the family. Raised amid the political violence of 1980s and '90s Colombia, in…
a house bustling with her mother's fortune-telling clients, she was a hard child to surprise. Her maternal grandfather, Nono, was a renowned curandero, a community healer gifted with what the family called "the secrets": the power to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds. And as the first woman to inherit "the secrets," Rojas Contreras' mother was just as powerful. Mami delighted in her ability to appear in two places at once, and she could cast out even the most persistent spirits with nothing more than a glass of water. This legacy had always felt like it belonged to her mother and grandfather, until, while living in the U.S. in her twenties, Rojas Contreras suffered a head injury that left her with amnesia. As she regained partial memory, her family was excited to tell her that this had happened before: Decades ago Mami had taken a fall that left her with amnesia, too. And when she recovered, she had gained access to "the secrets." In 2012, spurred by a shared dream among Mami and her sisters, and her own powerful urge to relearn her family history in the aftermath of her memory loss, Rojas Contreras joins her mother on a journey to Colombia to disinter Nono's remains. With Mami as her unpredictable, stubborn, and often amusing guide, Rojas Contreras traces her lineage back to her Indigenous and Spanish roots, uncovering the violent and rigid colonial narrative that would eventually break her mestizo family into two camps: those who believe "the secrets" are a gift, and those who are convinced they are a curse." -- Amazon.com![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/on/on55yz-DYJ3BVftR_1XaHW8WaWGTWbXUpHj8wiQsPZ8-SMALL.jpg)
Reina
Par Elizabeth Duval. 2020
"As a student of Modern Philosophy and Literature in Paris, the writer and activist Elizabeth Duval (Alcalá de Henares, 2000)…
starts a diary that inevitably ends up transforming her reality, mediated by a kind of fictional conception of her own existence. With an exceptional talent to make her prose converse with the history of ideas, thus proposing an interesting device for intellectual stimulation, throughout Queen numerous issues circulate that zigzag between public and private spheres. Among its themes, the following stand out: university life as an initiation to maturity, politics under late capitalism, and post-adolescent love from a perspective that goes beyond all our expectations on the subject and sublimates it in a reflection on affections and desire as universal as radically new." -- Provided by publisher![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/P3/P3Aa4DseeugJFwUNxYKMhkXjRq2TjpeE-PgzW9-vLVI-SMALL.jpg)
