Simple Matters
Author: Erin Boyle
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1613128827
Category : House & Home
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
More than a decluttering guide, this book “speaks to the heart and soul of the minimalist lifestyle . . . a must-have manual for serenity in the modern world!” (Anne Sage, author of Sage Living). For anyone looking to declutter, organize, and simplify, author Erin Boyle shares practical guidance and personal insights on small-space living and conscious consumption. At once pragmatic and philosophical, Simple Matters is an essential manual for anyone who wants to bring more purpose and sustainability to their daily lives. Boyle demonstrates how the benefits of “living small” are accessible to us all—whether we’re renting a tiny apartment or purchasing a three-story house. Filled with personal essays, projects, and helpful advice on how to be inventive and resourceful in a tight space, Simple Matters shows that living simply is about making do with less and ending up with more: more free time, more time with loved ones, more savings, and more things of beauty.

Pages : 228
Book Description
After two traumatic miscarriages and the heartache that had followed, we apprehensively awaited a much longed for sibling for our young son and an end to the difficult and arduous pregnancy that had left me covered in bruises, itching constantly and suffering from pre-eclampsia. Within weeks of Sean's birth he had suffered a brain haemorrhage and our baby, who had fought so hard to make it into the world, was struggling to stay alive. Our lives are turned upside down as, instead of welcoming our new addition, we are left accused of shaking him. In the legal battle of a lifetime we fight to keep both our children. Forced to move out of our home, interviewed by the police, threatened constantly with the removal of our children into care and misled at every turn, we realise to our horror: It could have been any child, it just happened to be ours.

TDOS Syndrome
Author: Peter Greenlaw
Publisher: SelectBooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1590794125
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
For over a decade health and wellness expert, Peter Greenlaw, has studied the top researchers. His review of research looked at the effects on human health of environmental toxins, nutritional deficiency, overweight, and stress. Now he connects the dots showing how the interconnections are amplifying these four health-robbing co-factors—Toxicity, Deficiency, Overweight, Stress—into a deadly syndrome that’s killing us. How can the human race absorb and process over 700 tons of toxins from the air we breathe every day? What happens as we consume hormones, steroids, pesticides, antibiotics and birth control chemicals in every glass of water? Why are there 275 lethal toxins found in newborn babies? And girls as young as three are showing signs of puberty? Connect the dots to see how toxins + depleted nutrients + overweight + stress adds up to the perfect storm that's costing us our health. Until Peter Greenlaw, the “researcher on researchers,” connected the dots, no one acknowledged the big picture...and sounded the alarm. Now, the facts are clear. The entire spectrum of research tells a bigger health story than we’ve been led to believe. Disregard these facts at your peril. Peter Greenlaw has gained enormous support from top experts and authorities across the health and medical global community because he has dedicated his life to trying to answer the real questions. “Unless we can get enough of the right nutrition back into our bodies to fight this four-headed monster, we and our families will become weaker, sicker and die much earlier than anyone ever thought possible.”—Peter Greenlaw

Juneteenth (Revised)
Author: Ralph Ellison
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0593314611
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
“Ellison sought no less than to create a Book of Blackness, a literary composition of the tradition at its most sublime and fundamental." —Henry Louis Gates, Jr., TIME From the renowned author of the classic novel Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison’s Juneteenth is brilliantly crafted, moving, and wise. With a new introduction by National Book Award-winning author and scholar Charles R. Johnson. Here is Ellison, the master of American vernacular—the preacher’s hyperbole and the politician’s rhetoric, the rhythms of jazz and gospel and ordinary speech—at the height of his powers, telling a powerful, evocative tale of a prodigal of the twentieth century. “Tell me what happened while there’s still time,” demands the dying senator Adam Sunraider to the Reverend A. Z. Hickman, the itinerant Negro preacher whom he calls Daddy Hickman. As a young man, Sunraider was Bliss, an orphan taken in by Hickman and raised to be a preacher like himself. His history encompasses camp meetings where he became the risen Lazarus to inspire the faithful; the more ordinary joys of Southern boyhood; bucolic days as a filmmaker; lovemaking with a young woman in a field in the Oklahoma sun. And behind it all lies a mystery: how did this chosen child become the man who would deny everything to achieve his goals?
