Описание: We have undoubtedly witnessed record-breaking years with more women running for office than weve seen in American history. We hope to see this trend continue to grow with women picking up the mantle in their communities by continuing to seek elected office and becoming important assets to their local government. Step Up to Run - Women Shaping the Future of Politics and Public Policy is a collaborative non-fiction book that comes from a perspective we dont often see in the realm of political nonfiction: the book recounts the stories of five women, from diverse backgrounds and communities across the state of California, who made the leap to run in 2018, but who came up short of winning in their respective races. Although their campaigns werent marked victorious by the election results, their uplifting stories will inspire readers and serve as a resource for women across the state and the country who are considering running.

Описание:
The whiteness of mainstream environmentalism often fails to account for the richness and variety of Latinx environmental thought. Building on insights of environmental justice scholarship as well as critical race and ethnic studies, the editors and contributors to Latinx Environmentalisms map the ways Latinx cultural texts integrate environmental concerns with questions of social and political justice.
Original interviews with creative writers, including Cherríe Moraga, Helena María Viramontes, and Héctor Tobar, as well as new essays by noted scholars of Latinx literature and culture, show how Latinx authors and cultural producers express environmental concerns in their work. These chapters, which focus on film, visual art, and literature—and engage in fields such as disability studies, animal studies, and queer studies—emphasize the role of racial capitalism in shaping human relationships to the more-than-human world and reveal a vibrant tradition of Latinx decolonial environmentalism.
Latinx Environmentalisms accounts for the ways Latinx cultures are environmental, but often do not assume the mantle of “environmentalism.”

On May 19, 2017, Debbie's life was perfect. Her fianc had just moved in, she had started her dream job, and her daughter was about the graduate high school and go off to college. She was in Dallas, Texas training for her new job when she received the call that changed everything. Her daughter and her best friend had been hit head on by a large delivery truck. The other girl had died instantly, and Debbie's daughter was being flown to the level-one trauma hospital. She had to get home, not knowing what was ahead, but knowing her life had changed forever. This is the mother's story of the intense trauma and fear that her family was thrust into.
This is also a love story, between a mother and daughter. Debbie tells her comatose daughter that Harry Potter survived due to his mother's love--and that she would do the same. For months, Debbie's life became a small hospital room.

You will be reminded that each day is a priceless, and to always tell the ones you love how much they mean to you.

Barbara Ybarra learned a process of deciphering psychological development in the horoscope from Noel Tyl, who has perfected a system of synthesis using both traditional and modern techniques. As a result, Barbara uses astrology to help people view their lives more proactively and to understand how they are influenced from their early home. Doing this, we can see the pattern of behavior that reinforces our behavior every day. Each of us looks for principles that guide us through life, whatever our spiritual inclination--we need to "feel" what guides us. When we experience deep emotions and are aware of them, we can then tie them to beliefs about where the emotions come from and why we feel them. In turn we can share these when someone asks what we think. To illustrate her approach, Barbara uses the example of Sun square Saturn, which some astrologers would define as perpetual depression, and writes, "That is not creative thinking. Our lives are given to us for soul growth " This is the approach Barbara takes in Emotional Dimensions of Astrology, while encouraging astrologers and students to think about the importance of feelings in life and to consider what emotions do for us. This book is insightful, spiritual, esoteric, and forward-thinking, and through it Barbara encourages everyone to seek their highest spiritual expression, which is the best gift we can give ourselves.
