Описание: If you loved Hidden Figures or The Rise of the Rocket Girls, you'll love Claire Evans' breakthrough book on the women who brought you the internet--written out of history, until now. "This is a radically important, timely work," says Miranda July, filmmaker and author of The First Bad Man. The history of the internet is more than just alpha nerds, brogrammers, and male garage-to-riches billionaires. Female visionaries have always been at the vanguard of technology and innovation. In fact, women turn up at the very beginning of every important wave in technology. They may have been hidden in plain sight, their inventions and contributions touching our lives in ways we don't even realize, but they have always been part of the story. In a world where tech companies are still male-dominated and women are often dissuaded from STEM careers, Broad Band shines a much-needed light on the bright minds history forgot, from pioneering database poets, data wranglers, and hypertext dreamers to glass ceiling-shattering dot com-era entrepreneurs. Get to know Ada Lovelace, who wove the first computer program in 1842, and Grace Hopper, the tenacious mathematician who democratized computing after World War II. Meet Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, the one-woman Google who kept the earliest version of the Internet online, and Stacy Horn, the New York cyberpunk who ran one of the world's earliest social networks out of her New York City apartment in the 1980s. Join the ranks of the pioneers who defied social convention to become leaders of the tech revolution. This electrifying corrective to tech history introduces us all to our long-overlooked tech mothers and grandmothers--showing us that if there's a "boy's club" that dominates Silicon Valley today, it's an anachronism.
Echoes from the Orient was written by Mr. Judge (1890) as a series of papers for a well-known periodical. The author wrote under the name of "Occultus," as it was intended that his personality should be hidden until the series was completed. The value of these papers as a popular presentation of Theosophical teaching was at once seen and led to their publication in book form. As Mr. Judge wrote in his "Antecedent Words" to the earlier edition:
"The restrictions upon the treatment of the subject growing out of the popular character of the paper in which they were published precluded the detail and elaboration that would have been possible in a philosophical or religious periodical. No pretense is made that the subject of Theosophy as understood in the Orient has been exhaustively treated, for, believing that millions of years have been devoted by the sages who are the guardians of Theosophical truth to its investigation, I think no one writer could do more than to repeat some of the echoes reaching his ears."
The reader should remember that the scope and influence of the Theosophical Movement have since that time (1890) greatly expanded, the work of The Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society now reaching nearly every country in the world.

They say it started with a virus--that left me as The Dizzy Broad
People like to go on carnival rides--mostly to get good and scared, or crazy dizzy. Then, after it wears off, they go back on the ride and do it again. You know that feeling in your head and stomach, and how your vi- sion changes as you try to maneuver through the crowd. Everyone laughs at your reaction, and you can barely manage to walk without assistance--but all the while you know that it will wear off even before your time at the carnival has ended, or at least by the next morning.
Remember, all this was your choice
But what if it wasn't your choice?
In this book you will learn:
- how those who go through vertigo feel
- how to help
- how to pray and converse in positive way
- to let them do all they can when you help
- to expect only minimal improvements
- that "two steps forward/three steps back" is the norm
- how to see God working in it
- how to bring some humor into it
- not to be afraid to laugh--you did at the carnival

Описание: Winner of the 2021 Duke University Juan Mendez Award Named one of The Progressive's "Favorite Books of 2021" and one of the "Best of Books 2021" by Foreign AffairsThe David and Goliath story of ordinary people in El Salvador who rallied together with international allies to prevent a global mining corporation from poisoning the country's main water source At a time when countless communities are resisting powerful corporations--from Flint, Michigan, to the Standing Rock Reservation, to Didipio in the Philippines, to the Gualcarque River in Honduras--The Water Defenders tells the inspirational story of a community that took on an international mining corporation at seemingly insurmountable odds and won not one but two historic victories. In the early 2000s, many people in El Salvador were at first excited by the prospect of jobs, progress, and prosperity that the Pacific Rim mining company promised. However, farmer Vidalina Morales, brothers Marcelo and Miguel Rivera, and others soon discovered that the river system supplying water to the majority of Salvadorans was in danger of catastrophic contamination. With a group of unlikely allies, local and global, they committed to stop the corporation and the destruction of their home. Based on over a decade of research and their own role as international allies of the community groups in El Salvador, Robin Broad and John Cavanagh unspool this untold story--a tale replete with corporate greed, a transnational lawsuit at a secretive World Bank tribunal in Washington, violent threats, murders, and--surprisingly--victory. The husband-and-wife duo immerses the reader in the lives of the Salvadoran villagers, the journeys of the local activists who sought the truth about the effects of gold mining on the environment, and the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of the corporate mining executives and their lawyers. The Water Defenders demands that we examine our assumptions about progress and prosperity, while providing valuable lessons for those fighting against destructive corporations in the United States and across the world.

Описание: La Dolce Vita or Bust(The Stand-Alone Prequel to the Best-Selling Val Fremden Midlife Mystery Series!)
We've all dreamed of ditching everything and running off to another country -- but almost no one actually ever does.
Well, Val feels like she's almost no one. Invisible to her husband and dissatisfied with her life, deep in her soul Val yearns to be someone else.
Someone sexy. Someone happy.
So she buys a ticket and takes off to Italy. With only her favorite romance novel to guide her, Val's got her heart set on relaxation, romance and reinvention. But she soon finds out that handsome men, like life, have plans of their own.
In the race to rediscover herself, what awaits Val at the finish line may be a completely unexpected type of victory.... Will Val score a home run? Or will she just want to run home?
If you've ever dreamed of ditching your life and running off to Europe, now's your chance! Join Val on a roller-coaster ride through Europe that will leave you gasping! From gut-busting hilarity to gut-wrenching gaffs, finding yourself again is always worth the price of admission. Get your ticket now!
Absolute Zero is a full-length, stand-alone novel. It's also the funny, yet often heart-wrenching prequel to the hilarious Val Fremden Midlife Mystery Series.
Absolute Zero is not a mystery, per se. (Unless you count the mystery of why in the world we do the crazy things we do!) Instead, this novel is a satirical look at starting over after forty. Just like life, it's full of ups and downs - especially as told through the eyes of a sharp-witted, reluctantly redneck woman who's always played it safe - until now. Freedom comes at a great price for Val. Will it be worth it? Well, that's up to you....
Pick up a copy and come along for a tour of Italy, Germany, and the human heart.
