Sinopse

In a literary world often defined by convention and conformity, Against the Grain: Tales of a Wayward Writer stands as a beacon of originality and unbridled creativity. This collection of essays and reflections offers a refreshing perspective on the writing life, inviting readers on a journey through the mind and heart of a writer who refuses to be bound by the rules.

With a unique blend of wit, wisdom, and a touch of irreverence, the author takes us behind the scenes of their writing process, sharing intimate glimpses into the moments of inspiration, doubt, and perseverance that shape a writer's life. Through these pages, we witness the birth of ideas, the struggles with writer's block, the elation of seeing words come to life, and the transformative power of language to connect with readers on a deeply personal level.

Against the Grain is not merely a guide to writing; it is an exploration of the human condition itself. The author delves into the depths of their own experiences, examining the relationship between life and art, the search for meaning in an uncertain world, and the enduring power of words to shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

With each essay, the author challenges our assumptions about writing and creativity, encouraging us to think outside the box and embrace our own unique voices. Whether you are an aspiring writer seeking guidance or a seasoned author looking for inspiration, this book offers a wealth of insights and encouragement.

Against the Grain is a celebration of the writing life in all its messy, unpredictable, and ultimately rewarding glory. It is a book that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the urge to express themselves through the written word, reminding us that writing is not just a skill to be mastered; it is a way of seeing the world, a means of connecting with others, and a profound expression of the human spirit.

This book is an invitation to embark on a literary adventure that will leave you inspired, challenged, and forever changed. It is a must-read for anyone who loves the art of writing and the transformative power of words.

    It's time for America to get back in the international leadership game. 
     
     
     
    What should our global strategy look like in an age of renewed great power competition? And what must America offer to a newly empowered developing world when we're no longer the only major player? 
     
     
     
    In The American Imperative, international development expert Daniel Runde makes the case for building a new global consensus through vigorous internationalism and the judicious use of soft power. Runde maps out many of the steps that we need to take—primarily in the non-military sphere—to ensure an alliance of stable and secure, like-minded, self-reliant partner nations in order to prevent rising authoritarian powers such as China from running the world.

    The Enneagram is an ancient system of human development that shows us the limiting stories that keep us stuck in unhelpful patterns, and invites us into more expansive stories. For too long, conversations about the Enneagram and its personality types have been centered on and by whiteness. In The Enneagram for Black Liberation, certified Enneagram teacher and trained psychotherapist Chichi Agorom reclaims the Enneagram as a powerful tool for Black women to rediscover our wholeness and worth that existed long before systems of supremacy told us we weren't enough. 
     
     
     
    For Black women, our Enneagram personality types reflect more than just our way of being in the world; they are shaped by armor that we use to protect ourselves from pain, suffering, and shame. Breaking down each Enneagram type as a form of armor, this book offers practices to help Black women begin to build a sense of self separate from our mechanisms of self-protection, while working to dismantle the systems that require us to stay constantly armored up. Chichi Agorom takes listeners through each of the nine Enneagram types, along with stories of Black women who identify with them. In the process, Agorom seeks to inspire us to expand beyond our type patterns. 
     
     
     
    Agorom invites each of us to claim the Enneagram as our tool in the continued fight for liberation.

    As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. 
     
     
     
    Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: 
     
     
     
    ● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? 
     
     
     
    ● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? 
     
     
     
    ● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?

    The Bengal Famine of 1943 was not an isolated event, but rather the culmination of years of political, economic, and environmental factors. To understand the tragedy that claimed the lives of millions, it is essential to examine the conditions that led to this devastating famine. 
    British colonial policies in India played a significant role in shaping the socio-economic landscape of Bengal. Under British rule, India’s agrarian economy was restructured to serve the needs of the colonial administration and its industrial empire. While the British extracted resources for their own benefit, they paid little attention to the welfare of the local population. In Bengal, a region heavily reliant on rice cultivation, this exploitation became increasingly evident as agricultural output was redirected to support the war effort, leaving the local population vulnerable to food shortages. 
    The economic strain caused by World War II exacerbated the situation in Bengal. As Britain sought to maintain its colonial empire, large quantities of rice were diverted from Bengal to support the war in the Pacific, where the Japanese threat loomed large. Additionally, the colonial government’s focus on military expenditure rather than economic development in India drained resources that could have been used for famine prevention and agricultural aid. This led to an economic imbalance, further disrupting food production and distribution in Bengal.
