Book excerpt: “Perhaps most importantly, Javaherbin shows that being poor doesn’t stop people from having lives and dreams. A lovely story about soccer, gender, and hope.” — Kirkus Reviews When Paulo Marcelo Feliciano becomes a soccer star, crowds will cheer his famous name — and his mother won’t have to work long hours. For now, Paulo spends his days working on a fishing boat and taking care of his little sister, Maria: she teaches him reading, and he teaches her soccer moves. At the end of the day he can finally play soccer with his friends. But when a player on Paulo’s team is injured, will they finally change the rules and let a girl show her stuff? Set in a country whose resilient soccer stars are often shaped by poverty, this uplifting tale of transcending the expected scores a big win for all.
Download or read book One Life written by Megan Rapinoe and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller! “Rapinoe's 'signature pose' from the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup is synonymous to the feeling we got when finishing this book: heart full, arms wide and ready to take up space in this world.”—USA Today Megan Rapinoe, Olympic gold medalist and two-time Women's World Cup champion, reveals for the first time her life both on and off the field. Guided by her personal journey into social justice, brimming with humor, humanity, and joy, she urges all of us to ask ourselves, What will you do with your one life? Only four years old when she kicked her first soccer ball, Megan Rapinoe developed a love – and clear talent – for the game at a young age. But it was her parents who taught her that winning was much less important than how she lived her life. From childhood on, Rapinoe always did what she could to stand up for what was right—even if it meant going up against people who disagreed. In One Life, Megan Rapinoe invites readers on a remarkable journey, looking back on both her victories and her failures, and pulls back the curtain on events we know only from the headlines. After the 2011 World Cup, discouraged by how few athletes were open about their sexuality, Rapinoe decided to come out publicly as gay and use her platform to advocate for marriage equality. Recognizing the power she had to bring attention to critical issues, in 2016 she took a knee during the national anthem in solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick to protest racial injustice and police brutality—the first high-profile white athlete to do so. The backlash was immediate, but it couldn’t compare to the overwhelming support. Rapinoe became a force of change. Here for the first time, Rapinoe reflects upon some of the most pivotal moments in her life and career – from her realization in college that she was gay, through the disputes with soccer coaches and officials over her decision to kneel, to the first time she met her now-fiancé WNBA champion Sue Bird, and up through suing the US Soccer Federation over gender discrimination and equal pay. Throughout, Rapinoe makes clear the obligation we all have to speak up, and the impact each of us can have on our communities. Deeply personal and inspiring, One Life reveals that real, concrete change lies within all of us, and asks: If we all have the same resource—this one precious life, made up of the decisions we make every day—what are you going to do? "One Life makes it clear that Rapinoe’s greatest accomplishments may ultimately come away from the soccer pitch. She’s a new kind of American hero."—San Francisco Chronicle
Download or read book Chattering written by Louise Stern and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louise Stern’s stories are peopled with brave young girls, out to party, travel the world, go a little bit wild. The one thing that marks them out from their peers is that they have grown up deaf. They communicate with the outside world via a complicated mixture of sign language, lip-reading, note-scribbling, guesswork and instinct. Yet they are full of daring, ready for adventures that take them into unfamiliar places and strange, cock-eyed relationships with people whose actions they observe but never wholly understand. It is this sense of dislocation from common experience that marks out Louise Stern’s original voice. She is fully engaged in the world we recognize and share, but the way she observes it sets her apart. Her eyes are keen; she notices things we would never see; she is quick to judge, wary, suspicious and vulnerable. She experiences the world like a voyeur, always watching, yet able to retreat to an interior silence that nobody from the outside can ever reach.

Download or read book Libidan written by P. J. Goddard and published by Hilltop Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2001-05 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a pill for menopausal women that completely restores their libido. It is painless, fast-acting, and has no side-effects. In 'Libidan', a pharmaceutical researcher accidentally stumbles across precisely such a drug. Recognizing the compound's enormous market potential, he smuggles the formula out of his laboratory and resolves to commercialise it himself. However, it becomes clear that Libidan works for all women - whatever their age, character or previous reputation. Realising that what he has actually developed is the ultimate in date-rape drugs, he decides to destroy his creation. Only this is one genie that has no intention of going back in the bottle. For its wickedly hilarious black comedy situations alone, 'Libidan' is a must-read novel. But what makes it all the more exciting is that the story is no mere fictional flight of fancy. With over a decade's experience of the pharmaceutical industry, author P.J. Goddard argues that Libidan probably already exists in an R & D laboratory somewhere, and it will only a matter of time before it will be developed. (Since publication, this has been confirmed). genetic engineering. As scientists continue to catalogue life's every bio-mechanism, there is widespread unease about the uses to which this information will be put. Through its utterly compelling plot, 'Libidan' illustrates the commercial and political imperatives that will divert the biotech revolution away from the eradication of disease to the management of human physiology in its non-diseased state. What shall our lives become when anger can be assuaged, or love induced, simply by opening up the medicine chest? How is society to react to a pharmacopoeia of drugs that can manipulate the body's every physical and emotional state? And, whilst the first world accessorizes its as yet unborn children with the latest in designer genes, what of the third world? What shall be its fate when the pharmaceutical multinationals abandon the development of a cure for AIDS as a hopelessly unprofitable venture? Prophetic, compassionate, yet at the same time bitingly funny, 'Libidan' offers a glimpse of the world's fast-approaching biotech future.
