By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate -- a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister -- and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person.

Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you?

Exhausted by Kate's recurrent illness, Sara is often on edge and overwhelmed. But she is also focused: Her tenacity, her vigilance and her support during Kate's aggressive cancer treatments all give Kate a reason to live. Mothering takes on new meaning, and the mundane becomes surreal: Kate's goldfish, according to the oceanologist Sara consults in a desperate effort to save the pet's life, requires bottled water, and the mere thought of buying Jesse a new pair of soccer cleats after Kate relapses seems \"downright obscene.\" — \u003ci\u003eKatherine Arie\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific Topics\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eCensorship\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Washington Square Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261167526078,"sku":"0743454537-4","price":14.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":46671273623742,"sku":"0743454537-5","price":14.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/41PvE9X1qUL._SL500.jpg?v=1754077069"},{"product_id":"0553577123-the_diary_of_a_young_girl_the_definitive_edition","title":"The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes The Diary Of A Young Girl: The Definitive Edition, By Anne Frank ; Edited By Otto H.

The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a precursor to today’s CIA, was quickly formed—and, in an effort to fill its ranks with experts, the OSS turned to academia for recruits. Suddenly, literature professors, librarians, and historians were training to perform undercover operations and investigative work—and these surprising spies would go on to profoundly shape both the course of the war and our cultural institutions with their efforts.\u003cbr\u003eIn Book and Dagger, Elyse Graham draws on personal histories, diaries, and declassified OSS files to tell the story of a small but connected group of humanities scholars turned unlikely spies. Among them are Joseph Curtiss, a literature professor who hunted down German spies and turned them into double agents; Sherman Kent, a smart-mouthed history professor who rose to become the head of analysis for all of Europe and Africa; and Adele Kibre, an archivist who was sent to Stockholm to secretly acquire documents for the OSS. These unforgettable characters would ultimately help lay the foundations of modern intelligence and transform American higher education when they returned after the war.\u003cbr\u003eThrillingly paced and rigorously researched, Book and Dagger is an inspiring and gripping true story about a group of academics who helped beat the Nazis—a tale that reveals the indelible power of humanities to change the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational \u0026amp; World Politics\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eEuropean\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":45261685784766,"sku":"0063280841-5","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":46671285813438,"sku":"0063280841-4","price":14.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81R5Z5rVAjL.jpg?v=1754080864"},{"product_id":"1546082913-stop_mass_hysteria_americas_insanity_from_the_salem_witch_trials_to_the_trump_witch_hunt","title":"Stop Mass Hysteria: America's Insanity from the Salem Witch Trials to the Trump Witch Hunt","description":"\n\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Bestseller!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e#1 NYT bestselling author Michael Savage calls out the mass hysteria mongers and their methods, and shows Americans that we must look to history to understand the present and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince Donald Trump's historic ascendance to the presidency, American politics have reached a boiling point.

You Feel It In Your Workplace. You Feel It When You Talk To Your Kids. You Can’t Miss It When You Read The Newspapers Or Watch The News. Our Lives Are Being Transformed In So Many Realms All At Once—and It Is Dizzying. In Thank You For Being Late, A Work Unlike Anything He Has Attempted Before, Thomas L. Friedman Exposes The Tectonic Movements That Are Reshaping The World Today And Explains How To Get The Most Out Of Them And Cushion Their Worst Impacts. You Will Never Look At The World The Same Way Again After You Read This Book: How You Understand The News, The Work You Do, The Education Your Kids Need, The Investments Your Employer Has To Make, And The Moral And Geopolitical Choices Our Country Has To Navigate Will All Be Refashioned By Friedman’s Original Analysis. Friedman Begins By Taking Us Into His Own Way Of Looking At The World—how He Writes A Column. After A Quick Tutorial, He Proceeds To Write What Could Only Be Called A Giant Column About The Twenty-first Century. His Thesis: To Understand The Twenty-first Century, You Need To Understand That The Planet’s Three Largest Forces—moore’s Law (technology), The Market (globalization), And Mother Nature (climate Change And Biodiversity Loss)—are Accelerating All At Once. These Accelerations Are Transforming Five Key Realms: The Workplace, Politics, Geopolitics, Ethics, And Community. Why Is This Happening? As Friedman Shows, The Exponential Increase In Computing Power Defined By Moore’s Law Has A Lot To Do With It. The Year 2007 Was A Major Inflection Point: The Release Of The Iphone, Together With Advances In Silicon Chips, Software, Storage, Sensors, And Networking, Created A New Technology Platform. Friedman Calls This Platform “the Supernova”—for It Is An Extraordinary Release Of Energy That Is Reshaping Everything From How We Hail A Taxi To The Fate Of Nations To Our Most Intimate Relationships. It Is Creating Vast New Opportunities For Individuals And Small Groups To Save The World—or To Destroy It. Thank You For Being Late Is A Work Of Contemporary History That Serves As A Field Manual For How To Write And Think About This Era Of Accelerations. It’s Also An Argument For “being Late”—for Pausing To Appreciate This Amazing Historical Epoch We’re Passing Through And To Reflect On Its Possibilities And Dangers. To Amplify This Point, Friedman Revisits His Minnesota Hometown In His Moving Concluding Chapters; There, He Explores How Communities Can Create A “topsoil Of Trust” To Anchor Their Increasingly Diverse And Digital Populations. With His Trademark Vitality, Wit, And Optimism, Friedman Shows That We Can Overcome The Multiple Stresses Of An Age Of Accelerations—if We Slow Down, If We Dare To Be Late And Use The Time To Reimagine Work, Politics, And Community. Thank You For Being Late Is Friedman’s Most Ambitious Book—and An Essential Guide To The Present And The Future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific Topics\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePolitical Economy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261712785598,"sku":"0374273537-4","price":14.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":46670664532158,"sku":"0374273537-6","price":14.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/819C8l2mrzL.jpg?v=1754081298"},{"product_id":"031242227x-running_with_scissors","title":"Running with Scissors","description":"\n\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Bestseller\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eAn \u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e Top Ten Book of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eNow a Major Motion Picture\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eRunning with Scissors\u003c\/i\u003e is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist who bore a striking resemblance to Santa Claus.

Probably, yes! But are you, really? The uncomfortable truth is that most of us have good intentions. We vote (sometimes) and occasionally sign a petition or attend a rally.

She shows how, over the last century, processes of state formation, construction of ethnic identity, and regional security concerns have contributed to very different outcomes for Akha and their forests in China and Thailand, with Chinese Akha functioning as citizens and grain producers, and Akha in Thailand being viewed as \"non-Thai\" forest destroyers.\u003cbr\u003eThe modern nation-state grapples with local power hierarchies on the periphery of the nation, with varied outcomes. Citizenship in China helps Akha better protect a fluid set of livelihood practices that confer benefits on them and their landscape. Denied such citizenship in Thailand, Akha are helpless when forests and other resources are ruthlessly claimed by the state. Drawing on current anthropological debates on the state in Southeast Asia and more generally on debates on property theory, states and minorities, and political ecology, Sturgeon shows how people live in a continuous state of negotiated boundaries - political, social, and ecological.\u003cbr\u003eThis pioneering comparison of resource access and land use among historically related peoples in two nation-states will be welcomed by scholars of political ecology, environmental anthropology, ethnicity, and politics of state formation in East and Southeast Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScience \u0026amp; Math\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNature \u0026amp; Ecology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eWater Supply \u0026amp; Land Use\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261755973822,"sku":"0295987634-4","price":22.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51VGlfhJNDL._SL500.jpg?v=1754081674"},{"product_id":"8418557257-kamala_harris-_kamalas_way","title":"Kamala Harris \/ Kamala's Way: La historia de la primera mujer vicepresidenta de estados unidos","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eReview      \u003cbr\u003e«Una biografía repleta de detalles.

While abroad, he often found himself making a case for America, urging the citizens of Egypt, Iraq, or China to trust that even though America had made grave mistakes throughout its history, it aspired to some foundational moral commitments: the rule of law, the power of truth, the right of equal opportunity for all. But when he returned to the United States, he found each of these principles under assault.\u003cbr\u003e In search of an explanation for the crisis that reached an unsettling crescendo in 2020--a year of pandemic, civil unrest, and political turmoil--he focused on three places he knew firsthand: Greenwich, Connecticut; Clarksburg, West Virginia; and Chicago, Illinois.

Through their powerful, often poignant stories, Osnos traces the sources of America's political dissolution. He finds answers in the rightward shift of the financial elite in Greenwich, in the collapse of social infrastructure and possibility in Clarksburg, and in the compounded effects of segregation and violence in Chicago. The truth about the state of the nation may be found not in the slogans of political leaders but in the intricate details of individual lives, and in the hidden connections between them.

Following the lives of everyday Americans in three cities and across two decades, Osnos illuminates the country in a startling light, revealing how we lost the moral confidenceto see ourselves as larger than the sum of our parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeologies \u0026amp; Doctrines\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eConservatism \u0026amp; Liberalism\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261884457150,"sku":"0374286671-4","price":16.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81vLkFIBK1L.jpg?v=1754083649"},{"product_id":"0670026220-argo_how_the_c_i_a_and_hollywood_pulled_off_the_most_audacious_rescue_in_history","title":"Argo: How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled Off the Most Audacious Rescue in History","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThis Is A True Story Of Secret Identities And International Intrigue; It Is The Gripping Account Of The History Making Collusion Between Hollywood And High-stakes Espionage.

In traditional China, dynasties rewrote history to justify their rule by proving that their predecessors were unworthy of holding power. Marxism gave this a modern gloss, describing history as anunstoppable force heading toward Communism's triumph. The Chinese Communist Party builds on these ideas to whitewash its misdeeds and glorify its rule. Indeed, one of Xi Jinping's signature policies is the control of history, which he equates with the party's survival.But in recent years, a network of independent writers, artists, and filmmakers have begun challenging this state-led disremembering. Using digital technologies to bypass China's legendary surveillance state, their samizdat journals, guerilla media posts, and underground films document a regularpattern of disasters: from famines and purges of years past to ethnic clashes and virus outbreaks of the present--powerful and inspiring accounts that have underpinned recent protests in China against Xi Jinping's strongman rule.Based on years of first-hand research in Xi Jinping's China, Sparks challenges stereotypes of a China where the state has quashed all free thought, revealing instead a country engaged in one of humanity's great struggles of memory against forgetting-a battle that will shape the China that emergesin the mid-21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational \u0026amp; World Politics\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eAsian\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45261892616382,"sku":"0197575501-3","price":14.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61OTT8qjTqL.jpg?v=1754083721"},{"product_id":"0415242762-globalization_and_language_teaching","title":"Globalization and Language Teaching","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThis Book Considers The Issues Globalization Raises For Second Language Learning And Teaching.

It was between the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration.\u003cbr\u003e The media–Democrat “collusion narrative,” which paints Donald Trump as cat’s paw of Russia, is a studiously crafted illusion.\u003cbr\u003e Despite Clinton’s commanding lead in the polls, hyper-partisan intelligence officials decided they needed an “insurance policy” against a Trump presidency. Thus was born the collusion narrative, built on an anonymously sourced “dossier,” secretly underwritten by the Clinton campaign and compiled by a former British spy. Though acknowledged to be “salacious and unverified” at the FBI’s highest level, the dossier was used to build a counterintelligence investigation against Trump’s campaign.\u003cbr\u003e Miraculously, Trump won anyway. But his political opponents refused to accept the voters’ decision. Their collusion narrative was now peddled relentlessly by political operatives, intelligence agents, Justice Department officials, and media ideologues―the vanguard of the “Trump Resistance.” Through secret surveillance, high-level intelligence leaking, and tireless news coverage, the public was led to believe that Trump conspired with Russia to steal the election.\u003cbr\u003e Not one to sit passively through an onslaught, President Trump fought back in his tumultuous way. Matters came to a head when he fired his FBI director, who had given explosive House testimony suggesting the president was a criminal suspect, despite privately assuring Trump otherwise. The resulting firestorm of partisan protest cowed the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel, whose seemingly limitless investigation bedeviled the administration for two years.\u003cbr\u003e Yet as months passed, concrete evidence of collusion failed to materialize. Was the collusion narrative an elaborate fraud? And if so, choreographed by whom? Against media–Democrat caterwauling, a doughty group of lawmakers forced a shift in the spotlight from Trump to his investigators and accusers. This has exposed the depth of politicization within American law-enforcement and intelligence agencies. It is now clear that the institutions on which our nation depends for objective policing and clear-eyed analysis injected themselves scandalously into the divisive politics of the 2016 election.\u003cbr\u003e They failed to forge a new Clinton administration.

In the nineteenth century, individualism was a philosophical and ethical perspective that permitted each person to respect and cooperate with others as equals in rights and dignity for the betterment of the community as a whole. Today, the individualist is a more self-interested entity whose maxim might best be expressed as “I don’t give a damn.” This contemporary form of individualism is possessive and conformist, litigious and docile, all too prone to manipulate norms and to submit to the tyrannical sway of private interests. As such, Urbinati believes, it represents the most radical risk that modern democracy currently faces.\u003cbr\u003e This well-reasoned and thought-provoking polemic is an attempt to detect the “tyranny of the moderns,” with the ultimate aim of recovering the role of the individual citizen as a free and equal agent of democratic society.
