Book excerpt: Daphne Baird impulsively leaves behind her boyfriend, her family, her whole life, for a new start in Montreal. Losing herself in the rhythmic roar of a copy shop by day, and haunting the sweltering, vibrant streets of the city by night, she collects fragments of histories and reconstructs other peoples' lives. Her long-postponed search for her biological parents leads her to the diaries of her grandfather, opening a window on 1960 British Guiana. As Daphne descends into the paranoid yet lucid world of Gerald Eyre -- which reveals more than Daphne could ever expect -- she cannot avoid the tensions swirling around the city or her own desire for family and connection. Out of My Skin explores the things that bind us to places and people. It is a powerful tale of voyeurism, crisis, race, and family secrets that in its layering of contemporary events and personal histories subtly explores the effects and aftershocks of colonialism in the New World.

When she begins to sense that someone is following her, Poppy is plunged into a game of cat and mouse, determined to unravel the mystery around her husband’s death.

Download or read book In My Skin written by Brittney Griner and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The WMBA All-Star shares the inspiring story of her singular life as an athlete and activist in this “searing and ultimately liberating memoir” (New York Times Book Review). Brittney Griner is a once-in-a-generation basketball player. A two-time Olympic gold medalist and a six-time WNBA All-Star, she has been hailed by Sports Illustrated as “the sport’s most transformative figure.” But she is equally famous for speaking out on a range of social issues, as well as for surviving a wrongful detention in Russia that became a geopolitical flashpoint. Now Griner shares her coming-of-age story, revealing how she found her strength to overcome bullies and embrace her authentic self. At 6’8”, with an 88-inch wingspan and a size 17 shoe (men’s), the Phoenix Mercury star has heard every vicious insult in the book, enduring years of taunting that began in middle school and continues to this day. Through the highs and lows, Griner has learned to remain true to herself, rising above the haters trying to take her down. In her heartfelt memoir, she reflects on painful episodes in her life and describes how she came to celebrate what makes her unique—inspiring lessons she now shares. Filled with all the humor and personality Griner has become known for, In My Skin is more than a glimpse into one of the most original personalities in sports; it’s also a powerful call to readers to be true to themselves, to love who they are on the inside and out. With eight pages of photos.

There's nothing more human than a broken heart. In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his only brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC. With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not. Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears. Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Download or read book Under My Skin written by Alan Rockoff and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under My Skin presents a practicing dermatologist's sensitive and humorous reflections on medical practice, health care, bureaucrats, and the very different ways doctors and their patients look at health and disease. Besides being informative, author (and dermatologist) Dr. Alan Rockoff offers in Under My Skin a witty take on skin medicine, a field some people think is as superficial as the organ it works with. Rockoff begs to differ, and sets a delightful tone to describe both the gratifying and annoying moments that come with daily practice. Rockoff also tells tales both droll and touching of people who have shared with him not just their skin problems but their personal lives, quiet hopes, and deepest fears. With 30 years of medical practice under his belt, Rockoff combines wit, candor, and empathy to present a unique perspective on the ins and outs of dermatology and the patients who make practicing it worthwhile. Whether you've been a health professional or ever consulted one - or if you've worked in most any profession - you will relate to Rockoff's tales of workplace joys and follies. From embarrassing doctor's office situations to tips on using an assortment of medications, this highly enjoyable read is bound to get under any reader's skin.

Download or read book The Book of Skin written by Steven Connor and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the largest and perhaps the most important organ of our body—it covers our fragile inner parts, defines our social identities, and channels our sensory experiences. And yet we rarely give a thought. With The Book of Skin, Steven Connor aims to change all that, offering an intriguing cultural history of skin. Connor first examines physical issues such as leprosy, skin pigmentation, cancer, blushing, and attenuations of erotic touch. He also explains why specific colors symbolize certain emotions, such as green for envy or yellow for cowardice, as well as why skin is the focus of destructive rage in many people’s violent fantasies. The Book of Skin then probes into how skin has been such a powerfully symbolic terrain in photography, religious iconography, cinema, and literature. From the Turin shroud to Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man to plastic surgery, The Book of Skin expertly examines the role of skin in Western culture. A compelling read that penetrates well beyond skin-deep, The Book of Skin validates James Joyce’s declaration that “modern man has an epidermis rather than a soul.” “Richly conceived and elaborately thought out. No flicker of meaning has escaped Connor’s ferocious, all-seeing eye.”—Guardian

Book excerpt: For the past six months, something has been happening to young people in Santa Feliz. Week after week, there's news of another teen changing shape, transforming from human to wild animal and back again. The federal government has stepped in, asking affected youth to turn themselves in for "orientation and training." Josh Saunders has seen the news reports, but he's still unprepared when it happens to him. One minute he's arguing with his mother's boyfriend and the next he's looming over the man, blood dripping from his claws—he has transformed into a mountain lion. Trusting only his best friends Des and Marina with his secret, Josh tries to return to normal life. But when an accidental betrayal reveals Josh's secret, his carefully constructed cover is ripped apart, forcing his friends to intervene. They must grudgingly put their trust in outsiders, including other Wildlings—and, most challenging, in each other—if they ever hope to save him.
