Gornick Vivian: The Odd Woman and the
City / B

The Odd Woman and the City

For readers seeking solutions to finally end the gun violence that kills tens of thousands of people each year in the United States— from a Harvard-trained trauma surgeon treating victims in Chicago If hope for ending gun violence can take hold in Chicago’s South Side, then it can take hold anywhere. The impoverished neighborhoods there are among the most dangerous in all of America—a nation in which injuries from firearms are the top reason why children die. In 2018, after decades of treating patients in inner cities that have suffered from decades of disinvestment and institutional racism, Dr. Selwyn Rogers founded a trauma center in the battleground known by many as "Chiraq." He has treated thousands of people suffering from gunshot wounds. He’s told loved ones that they lost a child, a father, a dear friend. And he’s initiated change in the community, talking to those in the middle of what can feel like endless bloodshed. Healing the Gun Violence Epidemic shares the stories of the victims Dr. Rogers has met in his work, and the lessons he’s taken from bearing witness to so much trauma. The book traces the origins of gun violence in the South Side—including decades of generational poverty bred from too little aid—and compares the lives of the young people he treats to his’ own path: from humble beginnings to using his Ivy League education to aid others and, he hopes, to end the cycles that have kept countless people trapped in never-ending agony. In the end, Dr. Rogers shares his insights into what policies have failed and which solutions have succeeded—making him believe that the devastation and trauma can end—not just in Chicago, but across the United States.

Florida Humanities Partnership Publications

Writers spanning genre and geography come together to show the strength and diversity of Florida’s literary landscape today In recent years, a rising generation of Florida writers has joined forces with established legends to create a literary renaissance. All This Beauty introduces this community, making the case that Elizabeth Bishop’s “state with the prettiest name” is also one of the best at producing and nurturing talent. This book demonstrates the depth and extent of Florida’s literary genius. Edited by Kristen Arnett and P. Scott Cunningham, this expansive anthology brings together poems, short fiction, and essays from 66 writers. Yael Valencia Aldana, Derrick Austin, Frankie de la Cretaz, Patricia Engel, Dionne Irving, Amy Suzanne Parker, Avni Vyas, and many others conjure widely varying experiences of the state, from Gulf beaches to South Florida nightlife, from muscadine grapevines to college gamedays and Major League Baseball. Together, they present a Florida that is more than the stereotypes of “weird” or “wild”—it is messier, deeper, and far more compelling. This anthology shows that between the headlines, Florida writers continue to affirm the beauty, complexity, and culture that make the state unique. In these pages, people who truly love Florida claim the privilege of defining it. All This Beauty invites readers to see Florida as its contributors do: a place of contradiction and connection, alive with imagination and possibility. Funding for this publication was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this publication do not necessarily represent those of Florida Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities.

A Long Game

Christine Lagarde is a woman of firsts: first female head of the IMF, first female President of the ECB - and all without a classic career path through the world of finance. In her first autobiography, she recounts her rise, her successes and setbacks, and her fight against prejudice. It sheds light on the great crises of the global economy, her courageous decisions, and her distinctive perspective on power, emancipation, and change. Complemented by the voices of her most important companions, the result is a multifaceted portrait of a woman who breaks boundaries and consistently challenges the status quo.

Fool on the Hill

In summer 2024, France stood on the brink of a far-right takeover. But the disaster was avoided thanks to a New Popular Front of parties headed by long-standing left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon. It won the most seats in the snap parliamentary elections, running on a radical, progressive, inclusive agenda, in large part inspired by Mélenchon’s presidential programme. Now, the People! details his vision of revolution in our time. In this book, Mélenchon embarks on a survey of human history from its earliest moments to the crisis- ridden present. He outlines his vision for a new strategy for radical parties to reach the highest levels of government and peacefully transform the capitalist system: a citizens’ revolution. In this revolution, individuals come together to form a single, politically mobilised people. They assert their power over the collective conditions of urbanised life, against the oligarchy that still controls them.

Insight Guides South America: Travel Guide with eBook

Brims with ideas and insights . . . Ghosh is at his sparkling best' IRISH TIMES Wild Fictions brings together Amitav Ghosh's extraordinary writing on the subjects that have obsessed him over the last twenty-five years: literature and language; climate change and the environment; human lives, travel, and discoveries. The spaces that we inhabit, and the way in which we occupy them, is a constant thread throughout this striking and expansive collection. From the significance of the commodification of the clove, the diversity of the mangrove forests in West Bengal and the radical fluidity of multilingualism, Wild Fictions is a powerful refutation of imperial violence, a fascinating exploration of the fictions we weave to absorb history, and a reminder of the importance of empathy. With the combination of moral passion, intellectual curiosity and literary elegance that defines his writing, Amitav Ghosh makes us understand the world in new, and urgent, ways. Together, the pieces within Wild Fictions chart a course that allows us to heal our relationships and restore a delicate balance with the volatile landscapes to which we all belong. 'We owe a great debt to Ghosh's brilliant mind, avenging pen, and huge soul' NAOMI KLEIN, author of This Changes Everything
