Описание: In the bestselling tradition of Stuff Matters and The Disappearing Spoon a clever and engaging look at materials, the innovations they made possible, and how these technologies changed us. Finalist for the 41st Los Angeles Times Book Award in Science and Technology and selected as one of the Best Summer Science Books Of 2020 by Science Friday.

In The Alchemy of Us, scientist and science writer Ainissa Ramirez examines eight inventions--clocks, steel rails, copper communication cables, photographic film, light bulbs, hard disks, scientific labware, and silicon chips--and reveals how they shaped the human experience. Ramirez tells the stories of the woman who sold time, the inventor who inspired Edison, and the hotheaded undertaker whose invention pointed the way to the computer. She describes, among other things, how our pursuit of precision in timepieces changed how we sleep; how the railroad helped commercialize Christmas; how the necessary brevity of the telegram influenced Hemingway's writing style; and how a young chemist exposed the use of Polaroid's cameras to create passbooks to track black citizens in apartheid South Africa. These fascinating and inspiring stories offer new perspectives on our relationships with technologies.

Ramirez shows not only how materials were shaped by inventors but also how those materials shaped culture, chronicling each invention and its consequences--intended and unintended. Filling in the gaps left by other books about technology, Ramirez showcases little-known inventors--particularly people of color and women--who had a significant impact but whose accomplishments have been hidden by mythmaking, bias, and convention. Doing so, she shows us the power of telling inclusive stories about technology. She also shows that innovation is universal--whether it's splicing beats with two turntables and a microphone or splicing genes with two test tubes and CRISPR.

Описание:

This book narrates the story of Gracie. A real dog we adopted when she was 8 years old. Her online profile said she was not good with other dogs, children, or cats. But when we met her she turned on our feet and made us scratch her belly.

From that moment on, we were committed to her. We start this story with Gracie's original family, the reasons why she was sent into foster care and her adoption story.

With this book, we want to highlight the beauty, commitment and responsibility it takes to take care of a dog like Gracie. Not all dogs, or rescue stories, are the same. If you are thinking about getting a dog, please do consider a rescue dog, and make sure you are all a good fit for each other.

"Absorbing, well-paced, and suspenseful, The Girl in the Mirror is a pitch-perfect supernatural mystery with plenty of twists to keep readers guessing." --IndieReader

"A well-paced paranormal mystery that delivers chills, laughs, and romance all in one go, and gives the reader a heroine to root for. Ramirez delivers highly readable prose that is both funny and unnerving when it intends to be." --The BookLife Prize

"A well-paced story, with plenty of action and a great plot filled with twists and turns that keep you hooked." --Readers' Favorite

When you look in the mirror and see a ghost, that's a bad day.

While renovating an old house with her ex-husband, Sarah Greene finds a mirror that holds the spirit of a dead girl. As she learns more about the people who built Casa Abrigo--and about their demon-worshiping son--Sarah comes to believe the girl did not die a natural death, and she sets out to discover the truth. But prying into someone's sketchy past can be risky, especially when it awakens dangerous dark forces.

Sarah Greene has been communicating with ghosts since she was fifteen when her best friend died. At thirty-three, she still doesn't understand why God has given her this "gift." But with each new paranormal mystery, she feels she has no choice but to investigate, even when the underlying supernatural forces threaten to harm her.

This series is for fans of nail-biting supernatural suspense.

Описание:

Martina Ramirez first started wearing her mother's shoes in secret in second grade, when everyone still knew her as Martin. Growing up in a conservative household as an adopted Mexican-American in a racially segregated city, she swore she would not be just another crime or teen pregnancy statistic. Martina lived up to that promise when she was named high school valedictorian, became a tenured professor at a prestigious university, and had a family. It was only then, after she had become established in her life and career, that she was able to finally be her true self.

Happier as a Woman is not just a story of one woman's transition. It is a story about relationships--those she fostered with herself, those that were hurt, those that were saved, and those that would not have existed if not for Martina's desire to be a mentor, to be the change. Martina made it her mission to pave the way for all of those that would come after her--from women seeking to break through the glass ceiling to fellow victims of emotional abuse--regardless of who they appeared to be on the outside.

It's as though all the emotions she had to bottle up in her youth became more potent with age, and they now tell of a compelling journey of acceptance, self-discovery, and self-love. Martina's story is artfully expressed through letters, anecdotes, and powerful interviews conducted by and written alongside her renowned coauthor, human rights advocate, and memoirist Alicia Partnoy.
