  Daughters of the Flower Fragrant Garden is a window into the lives of women in twentieth-century China, a time of traumatic change and unparalleled resilience. In this riveting and deeply personal account, linguist and East Asian scholar Zhuqing Li confronts the bitter political rivals of mainland China and Taiwan with elegance and unique insight, while celebrating her aunts’ remarkable legacies."Beautifully woven family memories coalesce into a vivid history of two very different Chinas."― Kirkus ReviewsSisters separated by war forge new identities as they are forced to choose between family, nation, and their own independence.Jun and Hong were scions of a once great southern Chinese family. Each other’s best friend, they grew up in the 1930s during the final days of Old China before the tumult of the twentieth century brought political revolution, violence, and a fractured national identity. By a quirk of timing, at the end of the Chinese Civil War, Jun ended up on an island under Nationalist control, and then settled in Taiwan, married a Nationalist general, and lived among fellow exiles at odds with everything the new Communist regime stood for on the mainland. Hong found herself an ocean away on the mainland, forced to publicly disavow both her own family background and her sister’s decision to abandon the party. A doctor by training, to overcome the suspicion created by her family circumstances, Hong endured two waves of “re-education” and internal exile, forced to work in some of the most desperately poor, remote areas of the country.Ambitious, determined, and resourceful, both women faced morally fraught decisions as they forged careers and families in the midst of political and social upheaval. Jun established one of U.S.-allied Taiwan’s most important trading companies. Hong became one of the most celebrated doctors in China, appearing on national media and honored for her dedication to medicine. Niece to both sisters,  Li tells her aunts’ story for the first time, honoring her family’s history with sympathy and grace.

  The Subversive Seventies

  In The Subversive Seventies, Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventies—often seen as fractious, violent, and largely unsuccessful—are not just inaccurate, but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today. While many accounts of the 1970s have been written about the regimes of domination that emerged throughout the decade, Hardt approaches the subversive from the perspectives of those who sought to undermine the base of established authority and transform the fundamental structures of society. In so doing, he provides a novel account of the theoretical and practical projects of liberation that still speak to us today, too many of which have been all but forgotten. 
   
   
   
  The movements of the seventies responded directly to emerging neoliberal frameworks and other structures of power that continue to rule over us today. They identified and confronted political problems that remain central for us. The 1970s, in this sense, marks the beginning of our time. Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe, from the United States, to Guinea Bissau, South Korea, Chile, Turkey, and Italy, The Subversive Seventies provides a reassessment of the political action of the 1970s that sheds new light not only on our revolutionary past but also on what liberation can be and do today.

  From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
   
   
   
  Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
   
   
   
  Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.

  Temperance - The Balanced Life:...

  Temperance is not merely about denying oneself pleasures, but rather it is an art form that requires the mastery of self-awareness and the thoughtful regulation of desires. In this chapter, we explore the journey toward achieving balance in life by understanding and applying the principle of temperance in everyday circumstances. Temperance involves a mindful approach to living, where each decision is carefully weighed against personal values and long-term well-being. This approach invites individuals to consider what is truly necessary and to avoid the excesses that can lead to imbalance. 
  At its core, the art of temperance calls for introspection and self-reflection. It encourages the cultivation of habits that foster a sense of control and awareness. By recognizing the triggers that lead to impulsive actions, one can develop strategies to counteract those impulses and maintain a steady course toward a balanced life. This mindful practice is a continuous process that requires both patience and perseverance. Every choice, whether big or small, contributes to the overall picture of one's well-being. When practiced consistently, temperance transforms not only individual habits but also enhances relationships and personal growth. 
  The practice of temperance extends beyond the realm of personal behavior into the wider sphere of social interactions and professional responsibilities. It is a quality that can enhance leadership and foster environments where collective well-being is prioritized over individual excess. When temperance is embraced as a guiding principle, it leads to a more thoughtful, measured, and ultimately rewarding approach to life. Rather than reacting impulsively to every situation, a temperate individual considers the broader context, assessing both immediate and long-term impacts of their actions.
