Sinossi

Sorry to Disrupt the Peace: A Novel by Patty Yumi Cottrell  | Conversation Starters 
 
In “Sorry to Disrupt the Peace”, readers are introduced to an unusual narrator and a touching story of family and grief. The narrator, Helen Moran, takes a trip to Milwaukee after being told that her adoptive brother is dead. Her journey makes her question everything; why someone would choose to die, the nature of her family, and her brother’s friends. Every encounter Helen has brings forth more questions, leading her to consider not just death but also life.Patty Yumi Cottrell’s debut novel is unflinching and bold, taking on the subject of grief in a somewhat unorthodox manner. Her book has been praised by fellow authors as “lean and wry and darkly compelling”, as well as having a quality of humanity that marries delight and heartbreak. The uniquely dualistic nature of Cottrell’s narrative invites the readers to discover grief with the protagonist, ultimately using dark comedy as a means to uncover a difficult truth.

Bradley Bale M.D., Amy Doneen...

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in America. It affects eighty-one million Americans and is the culprit in one of every two deaths in the United States. Most people think that they are not at risk of a heart attack if they control their cholesterol and blood pressure, but they aren't aware of other major risk factors. The good news is that with the right information and strategies, heart attacks are preventable-even if heart disease runs in the family.In Beat the Heart Attack Gene, world-renowned cardiovascular specialists Bradley Bale, MD, and Amy Doneen, ARNP, present a new model for understanding and preventing heart disease.

The Human City - Urbanism for...

Joel Kotkin

The author of The Coming of Neo-Feudalism and The New Class Conflict challenges conventions of urban planning. Around the globe, most new urban development has adhered to similar tenets: tall structures, small units, and high density. In The Human City, Joel Kotkin―called “America’s uber-geographer” by David Brooks of the New York Times―questions these nearly ubiquitous practices, suggesting that they do not consider the needs and desires of the vast majority of people. Built environments, Kotkin argues, must reflect the preferences of most people―even if that means lower-density development. The Human City ponders the purpose of the city and investigates the factors that drive most urban development today. Armed with his own astute research, a deep-seated knowledge of urban history, and a sound grasp of economic, political, and social trends, Kotkin pokes holes in what he calls the “retro-urbanist” ideology and offers a refreshing case for dispersion centered on human values. This book is not anti-urban, but it does advocate a greater range of options for people to live the way they want at all stages of their lives.Praise for The Human City “Kotkin . . . presents the most cogent, evidence-based and clear-headed exposition of the pro-suburban argument . . . . In pithy, readable sections, each addressing a single issue, he debunks one attack on the suburbs after another. But he does more than that. He weaves an impressive array of original observations about cities into his arguments, enriching our understanding of what cities are about and what they can and must become.” —Shlomo Angel, Wall Street Journal “The most eloquent expression of urbanism since Jane Jacobs’s The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Kotkin writes with a strong sense of place; he recognizes that the geography and traditions of a city create the contours of its urbanity.” —Ronnie Wachter, Chicago Tribune
