  Lainie Chait was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1991 at the age of 19. At the time of diagnosis, there were three roads to go down - avoidance, acceptance or rebellion.  Avoidance was her first choice. Falling in the shower, brain jerks and muscle twitches when she was 14 was the beginning of something 'not quite right' about her early teenage years. She hid these symptoms from family and friends for three years in the hope that they were just ‘growing pains’.As she started reaching the age of independence (18 in Australia) and started to drink, stay up late and go out partying, these ‘growing pains’ turned into a seizure condition that could no longer be ignored.  Eventually doctors, diagnoses and medicines were brought into the equation.She tried acceptance but at the time it wasn’t the right fit, as the very thought of taming down her young, fun life and replace it with medicine, early nights and mature personal decisions was just too hard to fathom. Rebellion then became her main focus and she achieved this by partying, staying up late and ignoring the triggers. This mindset carried with it an enormous amount of embarrassment and shame.  She constantly felt like a failure after each of the 250+ Grand Mal seizures she endured over 25 years.  But she wasn’t just rebelling against a diagnosis; she was rebelling against a system that has the capacity to make you feel better but at a price that also keeps you in a place of perpetual illness.  She needed to know why she had epilepsy and the only way she was going to find this out was to take herself off all the meds and research it, live it, feel it, document and manage it for herself.She did this much to the horror of her doctors, friends and family.  She went on a journey to get to know her brain and what makes it tick and glitch. The journey was about finding out just how much control she did and didn’t have over her seizures.Electro Girl is Lainie Chait's story of resilience, growth and self advocacy.

  Urban School Dynamics -...

  In the bustling corridors of urban schools, a narrative has quietly taken root, often painting a monochrome picture of Black student behavior. This narrative, woven from threads of misunderstanding, oversimplification, and occasional bias, rarely captures the complexities and richness of the experiences these students bring into the classroom. "Urban School Dynamics: Understanding Black Student Behavior" delves deep into the intricate mosaic of influences, challenges, and aspirations that shape the actions and choices of Black students in city schools. 
  The urban educational landscape, with its unique challenges and dynamics, often amplifies the struggles faced by students. Within these walls, Black students, shaped by a myriad of socio-economic, cultural, and personal factors, navigate their educational journey. But why do some of these journeys manifest in ways that are perceived as disruptive or counterproductive? Are these behaviors indicative of deeper systemic issues, unmet needs, or cultural misunderstandings? 
  This book embarks on an exploratory quest, dismantling stereotypes and debunking myths, while shedding light on the intricate interplay of factors like socio-economic pressures, historical context, cultural values, and personal aspirations. Along the way, I will amplify the voices of Black students, educators, and parents, providing a comprehensive, empathetic, and nuanced understanding of behavior in urban school contexts. 
  By the end, my hope is that readers will not only gain insights into the dynamics influencing Black student behavior but will also be equipped with knowledge and empathy to foster more inclusive, understanding, and supportive educational environments.

  Gulp - Adventures on the...

  The irresistible, ever-curious, and always bestselling Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. 
   
  "America’s funniest science writer" (Washington Post) takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: the questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn't the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts? Can constipation kill you? Did it kill Elvis? In Gulp we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of―or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab, a fecal transplant, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. With Roach at our side, we travel the world, meeting murderers and mad scientists, Eskimos and exorcists (who have occasionally administered holy water rectally), rabbis and terrorists―who, it turns out, for practical reasons do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts. 
   
  Like all of Roach's books, Gulp is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies.
