Essentially a Mother: A Feminist Approach to the Law of Pregnancy and Motherhood
by Jennifer HendricksEssentially a Mother argues that the law of pregnancy and motherhood has been overrun by sexist ideology. Courts have held that a pregnant woman’s nine months of gestation hardly count in her claim to parent the child she bears and that a man’s brief moment of ejaculation matters more than a woman’s labor. Armed with such dubious arguments, courts have stripped women of the right to abortion, treated surrogate mothers as mere vessels, and handed biological fathers—even those who became fathers through rape—automatic rights over women and their children. In this incisive and groundbreaking book, Jennifer Hendricks argues that feminists must overthrow the skewed value system that subordinates women, devalues caregiving, and denies too many the right to parent.

Essere genitori guru
by Dr Rosie KuhnEssere genitori guru è nato come una serie di video-blog nell'inverno del 2015. È una versione breve e concisa del libro: Cultivating Spirituality in Children: 101 Ways to Make Every Child’s Spirit Soar. Volevo preparare una versione del libro più accessibile per tutti quei genitori, nonni o tutori, che sono solitamente molto impegnati, e che hanno poco tempo per sedersi a leggere un libro, capitolo per capitolo. Quindi, ho creato Essere genitori guru. Quello di Essere genitori guru è stato un progetto dai risultati inaspettati, il blog è cresciuto con molti articoli ricchi e stimolanti per i lettori. Quindi era arrivato il momento di creare un e-book con i contenuti del blog a portata di mano per tutti quei genitori che desiderano avere per le mani una guida agile e completa. Ed eccoci qua! L'intenzione di Essere genitori guru è quella di raccontare storie, pensieri ed esperienze che ispirano e incoraggiano a lasciar andare tutti i preconcetti sull'essere genitori. È lasciare andare il modo in cui ci si percepisce come genitore, nonno o tutore (da qui in poi, per semplicità di lettura, chiameremo genitore). Lo scopo è di supportarti nel lasciar andare lo stress e le preoccupazioni, oltre alle aspettative derivanti da tutto il sangue, il sudore e le lacrime, che il ruolo di genitore può portare con sé. Questo percorso dà il potere di distaccarti dall'imperativo di farlo bene, di essere perfetto e di non deludere mai nessuno. Ti aiuta a smettere di sentirti un fallimento come genitore. Essere genitori guru richiede di superare tutto questo e molto altro ancora.

Estamos Perdidos. O autismo visto através dos olhos de um autista.
by Gianni Papa Marily Santos de SouzaOs pais de uma criança descobrem que o filho é autista. Começa, a partir daquele momento, uma descida no inferno da reabilitação, de médicos despreparados, de psicólogas catastróficas, de pessoas normais horripilantes e pessoas competentes. "Estamos Perdidos" é um livro verdade, que nos narra a estória de uma criança autista, a partir do seu próprio ponto de vista. Gianni Papa amplifica, como uma caixa de som, a voz interior do interprete principal: uma criança autista que descreve a estrada percorrida pela sua família através da experiência do seu complicado desenvolvimento. Os personagens principais não têm um nome, a família é como muitas na Itália, abandonadas no vazio normativo e assistencial, obrigadas a aprender experimentando e às vezes errando, como curar e resolver as dificuldades que derivam de uma situação que lhes coloca fora daquilo que se pode definir "normalidade". O interprete é Eu: uma criança autista, o pai é papai, a mãe é mamãe, e o irmão é o menino pequeno com os cabelos vermelhos. Somente os personagens que cercam a família têm nome e, às vezes, sobrenome. E assim conhecemos a vovó Cinzia, vovó Katya, vovô Francesco, zio Fabio e etc... Nesse livro, Gianni Papa soube interpretar em modo legítimo o pensamento da criança, dando voz à "criança que não sabe falar (mesmo sabendo falar)". Uma criança que observa o mundo ao seu redor e que, como todas as crianças, não pode entender em profundidade o significado de certos comportamentos dos adultos. Uma criança que na dramatização do seu ser, narra com leveza e extrema simplicidade, como só as crianças sabem fazer. Uma criança que vê os adultos complicarem os percursos óbvios e transformar em difíceis os relacionamentos simples. Uma criança que acata as decisões dos grandes com a naturalidade de quem sabe aceitar como sendo justo até aquilo que poderia estar errado e não sabe se perguntar porq.
The Estate: A Novel
by Martin KingHailed by the authorites as `the future of housing', The Estate in south London was opened with a flourish by the Lord Mayor of London in the late 1960s. The six 20-storey tower blocks were seen as the new way forward for community life in London. However, within a matter of weeks it had all started to go wrong as racial tensions built up and families of ethnic minorities clashed. Based on true stories, THE ESTATE is a novel based around 11 different families living side by side in The Estate, and their perceptions of it. We find out how the Indion family, the gypsies, the gay couple and the landlord of the local pub all deal with new homes and the dynamics of a multi racial community. Building up to a finale at The Estate's Christmas party, this is a poignant and funny account of how life really treated the occupants of the tower blocks.

Este vacío que hierve
by Jorge Comensal«Aquí no cayó ninguna bomba atómica. Simplemente se oxidó la vida con la premura de la sed. Sólo eso.» Karina tiene veinticinco años, es física y trabaja en una teoría cuántica de la gravedad. La noche del 15 de septiembre de 2030 encuentra a su abuela inconsciente en el piso de su departamento, inexplicablemente ebria. Al volver en sí, Rebeca confunde a su nieta con un fantasma del pasado y le revela, a medias, un secreto perturbador sobre la muerte de sus padres, ocurrida dieciocho años atrás. La indiscreción de Rebeca parece relacionada con el reciente incendio del Bosque de Chapultepec; las llamas arrasaron el Panteón Dolores, donde están enterrados los padres de Karina, y ocasionaron la muerte de casi todos los animales del zoológico, lo que detona un movimiento animalista inusitado en la ciudad. Con la ayuda de Silverio, un astuto y temerario vigilante del panteón, Karina se asomará a la verdadoculta bajo la tierra. En Este vacío que hierve el tiempo avanza y retrocede, se expande y se contrae, para tejer un relato de suspenso fractal. Un misterio recalcitrante constituye el centro de gravedad en torno al cual orbitan temas fundamentales de nuestra realidad como la crisis ambiental, los conflictos familiares, las adicciones, el fanatismo y el vínculo de la humanidad con los demás seres que habitan el planeta.

Estranged: Leaving Family and Finding Home
by Jessica Berger GrossA powerful, haunting memoir about one woman’s childhood of abuse and her harrowing decision to leave it all behind that redefines our understanding of estrangement and the ability to triumph over adversity.To outsiders, Jessica Berger Gross’s childhood—growing up in a “nice” Jewish family in middle class Long Island—seemed as wholesomely American as any other. But behind closed doors, Jessica suffered years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her father, whose mood would veer unexpectedly from loving to violent. At the age of twenty-eight, still reeling from the trauma but emotionally dependent on her dysfunctional family, Jessica made the anguished decision to cut ties with them entirely. Years later, living in Maine with a loving husband and young son, having finally found happiness, Jessica is convinced the decision saved her life. In her powerful memoir reminiscent of Jeannette Walls’s bestseller The Glass Castle, Jessica breaks through common social taboos and bravely recounts the painful, self-defeating ways in which she internalized her abusive childhood, how she came to the monumental decision to break free from her family, and how she endured the difficult road that followed. Ultimately, by extracting herself from the damaging patterns and relationships of the past, Jessica has managed to carve an inspiring path to happiness—one she has created on her own terms. Her story, told here in a careful, unflinching, and forthright way, completely reframes how we think about family and the past.
