In All the Hills, Brian Glaser's poems explore pressing political and spiritual questions related to immigration, asylum, separation of parents and children, displacement of Native Americans, protests, religion, ethics, and moral beauty. Answers may be found through an understanding of the natural world presented by, among others, the mallard duck, pigeon, snowy plover, mudflat, and saltgrass, which says: "The secret to surviving the inrush / of salt from the ocean / is to let it pass right through you."

Автор: Glaser Gabrielle Название: American Baby: A Mother, a Child, and the Shadow History of Adoption ISBN: 0735224684 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780735224681 Издательство: Random House (USA) Рейтинг: Цена: 17170.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The shocking truth about postwar adoption in America, told through the bittersweet story of one teenager, the son she was forced to relinquish, and their search to find each other As Baby Boomers became teenagers in 1960s America, women were encouraged to stay home and raise large families, but sex and childbirth were taboo subjects. Premarital sex was common, but birth control was hard to get and abortion was illegal. In 1961, sixteen-year-old Margaret Erle fell in love and became pregnant. Her enraged family sent her to a maternity home, and after she gave birth, she wasn't even allowed her to hold her own son. Social workers threatened her with jail until she signed away her parental rights. Her son vanished, his whereabouts and new identity known only to an adoption agency that would never share the slightest detail about his fate. Claiming to be acting in the best interests of all, the adoption business was founded on secrecy and lies. American Baby lays out how a lucrative and exploitative industry removed children from their birth mothers and placed them with hopeful families, fabricating stories about infants' origins and destinations, then closing the door firmly between the parties forever. Adoption agencies and other organizations that purported to help pregnant women struck unethical deals with doctors and researchers for pseudoscientific "assessments," and shamed millions of young women into surrendering their children. Gabrielle Glaser dramatically demonstrates the power of the expectations and institutions that Margaret faced. Margaret went on to marry and raise a large family with David's father, but she never stopped longing for and worrying about her firstborn. She didn't know he spent the first years of his life living just a few blocks away from her; as he grew, he wondered about where he came from and why he was given up. Their tale--one they share with millions of Americans--is one of loss, love, and the search for identity. Adoption's closed records are being legally challenged in states nationwide. Open adoption is the rule today, but the identities of many who were adopted or who surrendered a child in the postwar decades are locked in sealed files. American Baby illuminates a dark time in our history and shows a path to reunion that can help heal the wounds inflicted by years of shame and secrecy.
Автор: Glaser Gabrielle Название: Her Best-Kept Secret: Why Women Drink-And How They Can Regain Control ISBN: 1439184399 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781439184394 Издательство: Simon & Schuster Цена: 12250.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: For readers of Quit Like a Woman, this "engaging account of women and drink, cites] fascinating studies about modern stressors...and evidence that some problem drinkers can learn moderation....Bound to stir controversy" (People). In Her Best-Kept Secret, journalist Gabrielle Glaser uncovers a hidden-in-plain-sight drinking epidemic. Using "investigative rigor and thoughtful analysis" (TheBoston Globe), Glaser is the first to document that American women are drinking more often than ever and in ever-larger quantities in this "substantial book, interested in hard facts and nuance rather than hand-wringing" (The New York Times Book Review). She shows that contrary to the impression offered on reality TV, young women alone aren't driving these statistics--their moms and grandmothers are, too. But Glaser doesn't wag a finger. Instead, in a funny and tender voice, Glaser looks at the roots of the problem, explores the strange history of women and alcohol in America, drills into the emerging and counterintuitive science about that relationship, and asks: Are women getting the help they need? Is it possible to return from beyond the sipping point and develop a healthy relationship with the bottle? Glaser reveals that, for many women, joining Alcoholics Anonymous is not the answer--it is part of the problem. She shows that as scientists and health professionals learn more about women's particular reactions to alcohol, they are coming up with new and more effective approaches to excessive drinking. In that sense, Glaser offers modern solutions to a very modern problem.
