The Trying Game Get Through Fertility Treatment and Get Pregnant without Losing Your Mind
epub | 1.29 MB | English | Amy Klein | 2020 | Random House Publishing Group
Description: From the author of the New York Times "Fertility Diary" column comes a girlfriend's guide to both the emotional and technical process of trying to get pregnant, written with the smarts, warmth, and honesty of someone who has been in the trenches.
There are so many ways for women to be Not Pregnant: You can be young and have endometriosis or older and not have enough eggs; your partner might have slow sperm (don't tell him that, though), or you may not have a partner involved at all. Or maybe there's nothing wrong except for the fact that you are Just. Not. Pregnant.
Amy Klein has been there. From starting off optimistic about her own fertility to becoming someone who quickly got a med school-like education in reproductive endocrinology, she's had nine rounds of IVF, four miscarriages, three acupuncturists, two rabbis, an amazing reproductive immunologist, and finally...one real, live baby. And she wrote about it all for the New York Times...

Discipline and Punish The Birth of the Prison
epub | 8.64 MB | English | Michel Foucault | Penguin Books Ltd
Description: In the Middle Ages there were gaols and dungeons, but punishment was for the most part a spectacle. The economic changes and growing popular dissent of the 18th century made necessary a more systematic control over the individual members of society, and this in effect meant a change from punishment, which chastised the body, to reform, which touched the soul. Foucault sho the development of the Western system of prisons, security officer organizations, administrative and legal hierarchies for social control - and the growth of disciplinary society as a whole. He also reveals that between school, factories, barracks and hospitals all share a common organization, in which it is possible to control the use of an individual's time and space hour by hour.

04 TEXAS OUTLAW by James Patterson and Andrew Bourelle
epub | 663.78 KB | English | James Patterson | 2020 | Little, Brown and Company
Description:
A Texas Ranger is justice. Until he sidesteps the law.
Texas Ranger Rory Yates is not keen for hero status. But it's unavoidable once his girlfriend, country singer Willow Dawes, writes a song about his bravery. Rory escapes his newfound fame when he's sent to the remote West Texas town of Rio Lobo, a municipality with two stoplights. And now, according to the Chief of security officer, it has one too many Texas Rangers.
Rio Lobo Detective Ariana Delgado is the one who requested Rory, and the only person who believes a local councilwoman's seemingly accidental death is a murder. Then Rory begins to uncover a tangle of small-town secrets, favors, and lies as crooked as Texas law is straight.
To get to the truth before more people die, Rory is forced to take liberties with the investigation. The next ballad of Rory Yates may not be about a hero, but rather an outlaw song.

A People Betrayed A History of Corruption, Political Incompetence and Social Division in Modern Spain 1874 2018
epub | 11.16 MB | Paul Preston | HarperCollins Publishers
Description: From the foremost historian of 20th century Spain, A People Betrayed is the story of the devastating betrayal of Spain by its political class, its military and its Church. This comprehensive history of modern Spain chronicles the fomenting of violent social division throughout the country by institutionalised corruption and startling political incompetence. Most spectacularly during the Primo de Rivera and Franco dictatorships, grotesque and shameless corruption went hand-in-hand with inept policies that prolonged Spain's economic backwardness well into the 1950s. A People Betrayed looks back to the years prior to 1923 when electoral corruption excluded the masses from organized politics and gave them a choice between apathetic acceptance and violent revolution. Bitter social conflict, economic tensions and conflict between centralist nationalism and regional independence movements then exploded into the civil war of 1936-1939. It took the horrors of that war and the dictatorship...

But are those images of rippling abs, bulging shoulders and tiny waists truly inspiring good health? In this book, leading sports doctor (and former champion powerlifter) Riam Shammaa exposes the dirty secret of online fitness culture: rampant steroid and drug use, not only amongst its Instagram stars and wellness gurus, but eagerly enjoined by millions seeking to emulate a new beauty ideal (and its myth, of being all-natural).
