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"Wondering what it's like to be the first female coach or general manager of any men's professional sports team?

Nancy Lieberman or Kim Ng. Want to know what Veronica Beard thinks you should wear to work, why Tyra Banks over-prepares for every meeting, how Haben Girma graduated Harvard Law School deaf and blind, or what Bobbi Brown wants you to do when you hear the word no at work? We did too. Thinking about careers in media, medicine, or metadata? Wish you could interview TheSkimm founders, NASA astronauts, Olympic athletes, or execs at companies like Billboard, Spotify, ESPN, NIKE, LEGO, TikTok, Google, and the NYSE? We felt the same way. You asked. So we asked." -- Provided by publisherIn vitro (Ensayo (Editorial Almadía))
Par Isabel Zapata. 2021
"In vitro is a pregnancy essay. On the page, the writing gropes its way through unexplored territory. In the laboratory,…
under the watchful eye of the microscope, fertilization is also rehearsed. Pregnancy and writing take place on that threshold of possibilities. In this book, Isabel Zapata shines a light--or a lens--on an experience that seems to exist in a tiny darkness. While life makes its way in a Petri dish, the author poses questions that reveal the rawness of a treatment marked by uncertainty: How is the desire to be a mother articulated? Is there really a resolved mourning? With what voice does what we keep silent speak? Who breaks in childbirth? In In vitro the hidden is revealed as a daughter begins to take shape." -- Translation provided by NLSThe asshole survival guide: how to deal with people who treat you like dirt

society. In Status and Culture, W. David Marx weaves together the wisdom from history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, philosophy, linguistics, semiotics, cultural theory, literary theory, art history, media studies, and neuroscience to demonstrate exactly how individual status seeking creates our cultural ecosystem. Marx examines three fundamental questions: Why do individuals cluster around arbitrary behaviors and take deep meaning from them? How do distinct styles, conventions, and sensibilities emerge? Why do we change behaviors over time and why do some behaviors stick around? The answers then provide new perspectives for understanding the seeming "weightlessness" of internet cultureCoping with parental death: insights and tips for teenagers (Empowering you)

Tempting taste: a hot opposites-attract romance (Cinnamon roll alphas series #01)
Par Sara Whitney. 2020
"After a chaotic childhood, all Erik Andersson wants is peace and stability. What a shock, then, to find himself quitting…
on the spot after a tornado of a woman storms his workplace and exposes the toxicity of his boss. Although Erik should be focused on locking down his next gig, he instead agrees to a wild business proposal from the beautiful chaos agent intent on upending his life. Josie Ryan spent years chasing her mother's approval and now fills that void by wowing clients with her buzzy PR events. So when the brooding baker with the gorgeous cakes ends up jobless, Josie leaps at the chance to prove her worth by turning his talent into an empire-assuming she can work alongside a reserved hunk who charms her with every grumble. Keep it professional. That's the first rule of a good partnership. Soon enough, though, Josie and Erik have dropped their defensive walls to explore the potential of their sweet-and-salty relationship. But as the business grows, their clashing definitions of success threaten their happy equilibrium. Can they resolve their differences to form the perfect fusion, or will the heat force one of them out of the kitchen?" -- Provided by publisherListening against the stone: selected essays

wellbeing. In |The Energy Paradox|, Dr. Gundry expands upon his previous discussions of gut, microbiome, and mitochondrial health, linking immune malfunction to the mental and physical symptoms of fatigue-including exhaustion, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and low metabolism. As Dr. Gundry explains, feeling tired, moody, and zapped of energy is not normal, no matter your workload or age. Fatigue is an SOS flare from the body, one that is intended to alert us that something is wrong. In his clinical work, Dr. Gundry has found that his patients who complain of feeling sick and tired all the time almost always have something in common: the inflammation markers of a leaky gut. In |The Energy Paradox|, Dr. Gundry will offer readers the information and tools necessary to quiet the autoimmune battle raging within-a battle that depletes precious energy reserves, leaving you drained and prone to mood disorders and weight gain. With new guidelines on how to increase mitochondrial energy production and nourish the microbiome; 30 new Plant Paradox-approved recipes; and lists of energy-boosting foods to consume and energy-depleting foods to avoid, |The Energy Paradox| will help readers take back their lives, giving them the energy they need to feel, look, and be their best." -- Provided by publisherBelleza en lugar de cenizas: cómo recibir sanidad emocional
