Book Description :

Winner of the 2014 Diamond Anniversary Book Award
Finalist for the 2014 National Communications Association Critical and Cultural Studies Division Book of the Year Award
In 2000, the National Human Genome Research Institute announced the completion of a "draft" of the human genome, the sequence information of nearly all 3 billion base pairs of DNA. Since then, interest in the hereditary basis of disease has increased considerably. In The Material Gene, Kelly E. Happe considers the broad implications of this development by treating "heredity" as both a scientific and political concept. Beginning with the argument that eugenics was an ideological project that recast the problems of industrialization as pathologies of gender, race, and class, the book traces the legacy of this ideology in contemporary practices of genomics. Delving into the discrete and often obscure epistemologies and discursive practices of genomic scientists, Happe maps the ways in which the hereditarian body, one that is also normatively gendered and racialized, is the new site whereby economic injustice, environmental pollution, racism, and sexism are implicitly reinterpreted as pathologies of genes and by extension, the bodies they inhabit. Comparing genomic approaches to medicine and public health with discourses of epidemiology, social movements, and humanistic theories of the body and society, The Material Gene reworks our common assumption of what might count as effective, just, and socially transformative notions of health and disease.

Today only, get this Amazon bestseller for just $0.99. Regularly priced
at $4.99. Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device.

You're about to discover how to...

Let's take a look at the reasons we use soap. People use soap to cleanse the skin and get rid of dirt and grime; and to feel fresh and fragrant. People also use soaps to treat skin infections and correct skin issues. However, the reality is that modern soaps give people a "clean" feeling by putting the emphasis on the "fragrance" aspect. Psychologically, smelling good makes people feel "fresh and clean." Boy, are they wrong. Most of the cosmetic and "skin care" soaps available in the market nowadays contain harmful chemicals that do not help in ridding the skin of dirt and instead harden the body oils and toxins causing the pores to be clogged. The result: acne, allergies, dermatitis, dry skin, hormone disruption, rashes, respiratory problems, skin irritation, and many other serious skin problems. For example, SLS or Sodium lauryl sulfate, a common ingredient in most chemical based soaps can cause eye damage, cancer; and worse it could even alters your cells' genetic material.

The more you keep using these soaps, the more petrochemical compounds and mineral oil you put on your skin; and these chemicals, over time, can cause and aggravate these disorders. Commercially-produced chemical-based soaps often have a lot of unnecessary artificial ingredients that have harmful effects and can be toxic. So, what should you do? The answer is suitable soap-alternatives made of medicinal herbs. Just like in food; Mother Nature has provided a treasure trove of herbs and organic and natural materials that can help keep the skin healthy and looking good.

This ebook will teach you how you can make your own natural and safe homemade soap!

This time it's personal.

"Make some coffee. You'll read all night." Lee Child

FBI Special Agent Kim Otto receives a kidnapper's cryptic message in the middle of the night. The Hunt for Jack Reacher turns personal when the victims have a tenuous connection to Reacher...

...and a stronger connection to her.

Innocent preppers are caught in the fallout as ruthless cartels battling for American drug dollars seek to devastate the community and destroy the people who live there.

After Otto is attacked and nearly killed, she accepts that she needs a partner she can rely on to finish the mission. But viable candidates are thin on the ground.

The best man for the job is Jack Reacher, and he owes her. Problem is, Reacher is always in the wind. She can't afford to wait.

Kim Otto is forced to execute a daring rescue mission to bring down the cartel's leader and save the preppers at Glen Haven commune.

Will she die trying? And what about Reacher?

Lee Child Gives Diane Capri Two Thumbs Up!
"Full of thrills and tension, but smart and human, too. Kim Otto is a great, great character - I love her." Lee Child, #1 World Wide Bestselling Author of Jack Reacher Thrillers including The Killing Floor, Die Trying, The Midnight Line, Past Tense, and Blue Moon.

"I have been a Reacher fan for years and was excited when I heard of Diane Capri's take on 'Finding Reacher'.

Book Description :

A new perspective on one of the most misunderstood figures in the Christian story offers the key to reclaiming the divine feminine aspect of Christianity as we discover the radical presence of love around and within us.
A gospel, as old and as authentic as any of the gospels that now make up the Christian bible, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse-and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual spunk, we have several ancient manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.
This gospel tells a very different love story from the one we've come to refer to as Christianity. This gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed for being human. In fact, each person's purpose is to be fully human, to be a "true human being"-that is, a person who has...

"An eerily prescient novel about a devastating virus that begins in Asia before going global . . . A page-turner that has the earmarks of an instant bestseller." -New York Post

"Featuring accounts of past plagues and pandemics, descriptions of pathogens and how they work, and dark notes about global warming, the book produces deep shudders . . . A disturbing, eerily timed novel." -Kirkus Revie

"A compelling read up to the last sentence. Wright has come up with a story worthy of Michael Crichton. In an eerily calm, matter-of-fact way, and backed by meticulous research, he imagines what the world would actually be like in the grip of a devastating new virus." [b]-Richard Preston, author of The Hot Zone

[/b]"This timely literary page-turner sho Wright is on a par with the best writers in the genre." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In this riveting medical thriller--from the Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author--Dr. Henry Parsons, an unlikely but appealing hero, races to find the origins and cure of a mysterious new killer virus as it brings the world to its knees.

At an internment camp in Indonesia, forty-seven people are pronounced dead with acute hemorrhagic fever. When Henry Parsons--microbiologist, epidemiologist--travels there on behalf of the World Health Organization to investigate, what he finds will soon have staggering repercussions across the globe: an infected man is on his way to join the millions of worshippers in the annual Hajj to Mecca. Now, Henry joins forces with a Saudi prince and doctor in an attempt to quarantine the entire host of pilgrims in the holy city . . . A Russian émigré, a woman who has risen to deputy director of U.S. Homeland Security, scrambles to mount a response to what may be an act of biowarfare . . . Already-fraying global relations begin to snap, one by one, in the face of a pandemic . . . Henry's wife, Jill, and their children face diminishing odds of survival in Atlanta . . . And the disease slashes across the United States, dismantling institutions--scientific, religious, governmental--and decimating the population. As packed with suspense as it is with the fascinating history of viral diseases, Lawrence Wright has given us a full-tilt, electrifying, one-of-a-kind thriller.

First published in 1943, this autobiography is also a superb portrait of America's Depression years, by the folk singer, activist, and man who saw it all.
Woody Guthrie was born in Oklahoma and traveled this whole country over-not by jet or motorcycle, but by boxcar, thumb, and foot. During the journey of discovery that was his life, he composed and sang words and music that have become a national heritage. His songs, however, are but part of his legacy. Behind him Woody Guthrie left a remarkable autobiography that vividly brings to life both his vibrant personality and a vision of America we cannot afford to let die.

"Even readers who never heard Woody or his songs will understand the current esteem in which he's held after reading just a few pages... Always shockingly immediate and real, as if Woody were telling it out loud... A book to make novelists and sociologists jealous."

Book Description :

From Richard Zacks, bestselling author of Island of Vice and The Pirate Hunter, a rich and lively account of how Mark Twain's late-life adventures abroad helped him recover from financial disaster and family tragedy-and revived his world-class sense of humor
Mark Twain, the highest-paid writer in America in 1894, was also one of the nation's worst investors. "There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate," he wrote. "When he can't afford it and when he can." The publishing company Twain owned was failing; his investment in a typesetting device was bleeding red ink. After losing hundreds of thousands of dollars back when a beer cost a nickel, he found himself neck-deep in debt. His heiress wife, Livy, took the setback hard. "I have a perfect horror and heart-sickness over it," she wrote. "I cannot get away from the feeling that business failure means disgrace."
But Twain vowed to Livy he would pay back every penny. And so, just when the fifty-nine-year-old, bushy-browed icon imagined that he would be settling into literary lionhood, telling jokes at gilded dinners, he forced himself to mount the "platform" again, embarking on a round-the-world stand-up comedy tour. No author had ever done that. He cherry-picked his best stories-such as stealing his first watermelon and buying a bucking bronco-and spun them into a ninety-minute performance.
Twain trekked across the American West and onward by ship to the faraway lands of Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, India, Ceylon, and South Africa. He rode an elephant twice and visited the Taj Mahal. He saw Zulus dancing and helped sort diamonds at the Kimberley mines. (He failed to slip away with a sparkly souvenir.) He played shuffleboard on cruise ships and battled captains for the right to smoke in peace. He complained that his wife and daughter made him shave and change his shirt every day.
The great American writer fought off numerous illnesses and travel nuisances to circle the globe and earn a huge payday and a tidal wave of applause. Word of his success, however, traveled slowly enough that one American nepaper reported that he had died penniless in London. That's when he famously quipped: "The report of my death was an exaggeration."
Throughout his quest, Twain was aided by cutthroat Standard Oil tycoon H.H. Rogers, with whom he had struck a deep friendship, and he was hindered by his own lawyer (and future secretary of state) Bainbridge Colby, whom he deemed "head idiot of this century."
In * Chasing the Last Laugh, author Richard Zacks, drawing extensively on unpublished material in notebooks and letters from Berkeley's ongoing Mark Twain Project, chronicles a poignant chapter in the author's life-one that began in foolishness and bad choices but culminated in humor, hard-won wisdom, and ultimate triumph. *

Review
"[A] colorful and fun read."
- The Washington Post
"[D]ense in action and experience. . . . Chasing the Last Laugh brings Twain's comedy close to its wider context, and enlivens both. By situating the writer in his world and his time, biography actually makes Mark Twain funnier."
- Flavorwire
"Not since Michael Shelden's spellbinding Mark Twain, Man in White: The Grand Adventure of His Final Years has such an impossible-to-put-down book emerged that yields fresh information about episodes in Twain's life on every page.... Zacks manages the nearly impossible feat of maintaining the momentum of his narrative while filling in the behind-the-scenes factors that add immeasurably to our grasp of the significance of each occurrence.... By committing to narrate only a portion of a pivotal decade--a biographical period often neglected except by scholars interested in Twain's growing distaste for the colonial imperialism he witnessed at firsthand-- Zacks is able to explain many incidents with greater contextual background than any full-length biography can possibly allocate to them. The result is a joy to read and a lesson in what can be done to bring an era to life."
- Mark Twain Journal
"[In] Chasing the Last Laugh, Richard Zacks's entertaining account of the international lecture tour Twain undertook in 1895 to pay his debts...Zacks's absorbingly detailed reconstructions of [Twain's] performances-the carefully honed timing, the shrewdly reworked and reshuffled greatest hits-will increase your appreciation of him as a show-biz craftsman.... Zacks packs page after page with the flavorful marvels he's culled from the writings of Twain and others."
- Bookforum
"Zacks is a gifted storyteller in his own right, which is as it should be; a master storyteller such as Mark Twain deserves nothing less. He brings that world to vivid life and finds the nuances in Twain's interpersonal interactions.... Through thorough investigation of Twain's notes - as well as the letters he exchanged with his two daughters who remained home - Zacks has recreated a small piece of an important and fascinating life. It's a beautifully researched work.... This book services Twain fans of any degree - there's plenty here for the hardcore, but the story is so quintessentially Twain that it works even if you've only a passing familiarity with his work. It's an intimate look at an incredible experience, with ample helpings of the humor that made its subject so great.... Chasing the Last Laugh is a funny and revealing reminder of just how great he was."
- Main Edge

"Twain could not have picked a better chronicler than Zacks.... [H]e brings a deep knowledge of U.S. history to the task of viewing the late-19th century world through the eyes of one of the keenest literary minds America ever produced.... Zacks' writing...shines."
- St. Louis Post Dispatch

"Zacks does an admirable job of giving us a taste of Twain's performances and quoting his best commentary without, for the most part, overwhelming the narrative with block quotes.... Zacks also casts new light on Twain himself."
- Washington Free Beacon

"[T]horoughly enjoyable.... In fascinating detail, Zacks documents the construction of Twain's talks, for which material was mined from his books."
- Columbus Dispatch
"[D]eeply entertaining. . . . Zacks's narrative is well-researched with rich detail and it will strike ardent Twain fans and history lovers as fresh and inspiring."
- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"An amusing, singular account of the world tour by the nation's most famous humorist. . . . [A] rollicking history perfect for Twain's countless fans."
- Kirkus
"[F]ast-paced. . . . A diverting-and revealing-look at a neglected episode in Twain's life."
- Booklist
"[I]mpeccably researched and thoroughly engaging. . . . Zacks...is an accomplished guide through Twain's travel escapades."
- Bookpage
" Chasing the Last Laugh is a funny and poignant account of Mark Twain's late, epic struggle against debt and death. Richard Zacks has a brilliant eye for detail and the narrative gifts needed to bring out all that is strange, zany, and ultimately inspiring in this remarkable story of money, honor, and literary genius."
-Stephen Greenblatt, Pulitzer Prize-winning author The Swerve: How the World Became Modern and Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare

" Chasing the Last Laugh is an intimate and fascinating account of what was basically the world's weirdest book tour, starring the funniest writer America has ever produced. Mark Twain's own notes and letters enrich every chapter, illuminating not only his cranky genius but the private fears and turmoil that compelled him to pack up his family and hit the road."
- Carl Hiaasen, bestselling author of Bad Monkey and Strip Tease

" Chasing the Last Laugh is something of a miracle. This book will be a joy and revelation for Twain fans. There is a lot new here. Twain's trip around the world-in which he speaks truth, through humor, everywhere-is a wonderful lens through which to see the dawn of America, the collapse of the British Empire, the early stirrings of colonial discontent in India. A new world is just being born and we're along for the ride as the sharpest observer watches and narrates it all. It is, also, a really good business book."
-Adam Davidson, Co-Host of NPR's Planet Money

"If you read only one book on Mark Twain, I would recommend Chasing the Last Laugh. There is everything you could want here: Twain's infinite humor and forbearance, the glistening world of the British Empire at its peak, five years on the road with possibly the funniest and wisest American of his time. Richard Zacks manages this vast subject with enviable skill. It's a great read, entertaining as well as deeply moving, and I will be circling back to its pages soon."
- Jay Parini, author of Empire of Self: A Life of Gore Vidal and The Last Station

"A fresh and absorbing account (involving carbuncles, platypus jokes, and a surprising bottom line) of an aging Mark Twain's outlandish passage from ruin to glory."
- Roy Blount Jr., author of Save Room for Pie

Book Description :

From the bestselling author of Daughters of the Dragon comes an epic novel of a star-crossed couple who must defy tradition, war, and prejudice to keep their love alive. At the urging of a Los Angeles detective, international rights lawyer Anna Carlson assists in a murder investigation. It's a personal request from Suk-bo Yi, a ninety-nine-year-old woman questioned in a mysterious death at a Koreatown nursing home. A stranger to Anna, Suk-bo has a tale to tell. For reasons of her own, she's chosen Anna-only Anna-to hear it. Suk-bo's story begins in 1937, when the Japanese occupying Korea force her to marry one of their own, named Hisashi. In spite of their differences, they fall madly in love, pitting them against two violently opposing cultures. When Hisashi joins the Japanese Imperial Army and disappears, Suk-bo embarks on a quest through years of war, bigotry, and poverty to find him. But Suk-bo's unfolding history reveals more than Anna can imagine: an heirloom comb bearing an intricately carved two-headed dragon binding her to Suk-bo's past. Soon Anna will discover her own legacy at the heart of Suk-bo's epic love story. **

Book Description :

The Grand Ole Opry has been home to the greatest legends of country music for over eighty years, and in that time it has seen some of conutry music's most dramatic stories unfold. We'll hear of the great love stories ranging from Johnny Cash and June Carter in the 1960s to Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, who married in 2005. We'll get the truth of the tragedies that led to the loss of three stars all in the same month, starting the rumor of the "Opry Curse." We'll learn how after being stabbed, shot, and maimed, Trace Adkins calls his early honky-tonk years "combat country," and we'll find inspiration from DeFord Bailey, an African American harmonica player in 1927 crippled by childhood polio who rose to fame as one of the first Opry stars. Our hearts will break for Willie Nelson, who lost his only son on Christmas Day, and soar for Amy Grant and Vince Gill, who found true love. Based on over 150 firsthand intervie with the stars of The Grand Ole Opry, these are stories that tell the heart of country-the lives that are lived and inspire the songs we love.
