On the Wrong Side - How...

Nicole Bedera

THIS EXPLOSIVE INVESTIGATION REVEALS THE PROFOUND FAILURES OF THE TITLE IX SYSTEM AND IDENTIFIES THE STEPS WE CAN TAKE TO PROTECT STUDENTS 
 
On the Wrong Side provides the first comprehensive account of the inner workings of the secretive Title IX system. Drawing on a yearlong study of survivors, perpetrators, and the administrators who oversaw their cases, sociologist Nicole Bedera exposes the structures that predictably punish survivors who come forward in the service of protecting—or even rewarding—their perpetrators. She reveals that the system tasked with ending gender inequality on campus only intensifies it, upending survivors’ lives and threatening their degrees. 
 
Equally heartbreaking and optimistic, On the Wrong Side makes it easy to imagine life-changing interventions for the next generation of students by proposing specific solutions to the structural problems of Title IX. Bedera proves that ending campus sexual violence is within our grasp—and dares us to be courageous enough to take action. 
 
“Nicole Bedera is one of the most important thinkers of our time about sexual violence on campus. I am grateful for her work.”—Peggy Orenstein, New York Times–bestselling author of Boys & Sex: Young Men on Hookups, Love, Porn, Consent, and Navigating the New Masculinity

How To Talk To Robots: A Girls’...

Tabitha Goldstaub

’…an essential and fascinating manual for every woman who wants to understand equality within an ever-changing, modern world.’ Scarlett Curtis
‘…[this book] taught me more than any book has ever taught me about AI.’ Chris Evans, Virgin Radio
How To Talk To Robots, is your girls guide to Artificial Intelligence. Entrepreneur Tabitha Goldstaub welcomes you into the AI world with a warm embrace. She brilliantly breaks down the tech-bro barriers offering a straightforward introduction and makes clear the enormous benefits of understanding AI.
If your social feed defines your spending habits or you’ve downloaded the latest filter to see what you’ll look like when you are old or now connect with your doctor using an app, have applied for a job online or used your phone to arrive at work in record time, AI is playing a part in how you live, work and play. We live in an era where machines are taught to learn and act without human intervention and there are infinite possibilities to their applications. The risk of these technologies biasing against you is real, and this book will give you tools to navigate the current and future developments consciously.
As well as explaining the risks Tabitha lays out the awesome benefits AI can offer. From spotting disease to tailoring education and tackling climate change the potential rewards are life-changing.
Starting with a potted history, Tabitha shines a light on the many unsung heroines since the rise of AI in the 1960s. In conversation with Karen Hao she simply demonstrates how the technology works (and sometimes doesn’t work!) and interviews a cross-section of women who use AI in their work today including Jeanette Winterson, Sharmadean Reid, Martha Lane Fox and Hannah Fry. This book doesn’t just present the challenge; Tabitha offers supportive practical advice and shares an extensive list of books, films, courses and more for further exploration.
However it is that you identify with womanhood, wherever you are in life, and whatever you do, this technology is inescapable and now is your time to make sure AI works for you – and not you for it!
Goldstaub's book is a best in class reference for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of AI, economics, and personal life. Her professional insights make this a top pick for those in the business and computer industries.
For fans of Ryan Holiday (The Daily Stoic), C. Brené Brown (The Gifts of Imperfection), Henry Kissinger (World Order), Hannah Fry (Rutherford and Fry’s Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything), and Sarah Hill (How the Pill Changes Everything).

Why People Die by Suicide

Thomas Joiner

In the wake of a suicide, the most troubling questions are the most difficult to answer: How could we have known? What could we have done? And always: Why? Written by a clinical psychologist whose own life has been touched by suicide, this book offers the clearest account ever given of why some people choose to die. 
 
 
 
Drawing on clinical and epidemiological evidence, as well as personal experience, Thomas Joiner brings a comprehensive understanding to seemingly incomprehensible behavior. Among the many people who have considered, attempted, or died by suicide, he finds three factors that mark those most at risk of death: the feeling of being a burden on loved ones; the sense of isolation; and, chillingly, the learned ability to hurt oneself. Joiner tests his theory against diverse facts taken from clinical anecdotes, history, literature, popular culture, anthropology, epidemiology, genetics, and neurobiology—facts about suicide rates among men and women; white and African-American men; anorexics, athletes, prostitutes, and physicians; members of cults, sports fans, and citizens of nations in crisis. The result is the most coherent and persuasive explanation ever given of why and how people overcome life's strongest instinct, self-preservation. Joiner's is a work that makes sense of the bewildering array of statistics and stories surrounding suicidal behavior.

Reversing Polycystic Kidney...

Felix Mueller

WITH A FOREWORD FROM DAVE ASPREY, founder of Bulletproof 360, Inc and New York Times bestselling author  
The practical guide to how to reverse polycystic kidney diseases, usually considered chronic and progressive, through a ketogenic diet and biohacker principles. 
A unique guide to the strategies developed by Felix Mueller, expert patient, influencer and author, over the past nine years to reverse his own polycystic kidney disease, as well as that of numerous clients and followers. The book shows the simple and easy diet and lifestyle changes that PKD patients – written off as ‘incurable’ – can make to radically prolong their time to, or even completely stave off, dialysis or transplant, and explains the scientific backgrounds of why this approach works according to emerging, as well as long-established, science. The audiobook includes practical tips, daily routines, recipes, and a whole week meal plan as well as survival strategies for traveling and eating out without sacrificing kidney health in the process. Listeners will learn that, contrary to popular belief, having PKD does not mean living in constant nutrient deficiency, but that food abundance can also lead to better health and even achieving the ultimate goal: drastically improving their kidney function and even size. 
"Felix’s story is a vivid illustration of how the principles of biohacking can be tailored to improve even genetic conditions which some people believe to be incurable. By harnessing a state of intermittent ketosis and fasting combined with highly nutritious foods, he has uncovered a profound truth: our genetic destiny is not a script that is set in stone but a narrative that we can rewrite with the right diet, lifestyle and supplementation."―Dave Asprey, author of The New York Times Bestseller The Bulletproof diet
