Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final installment of a medical trilogy, Stone Mother refers to the old Los Angeles County Hospital. On entering residency training, a married couple carry their 1960s activism into the ‘70s. They struggle to balance overwhelming responsibilities with their ideals, attempting to reform the “system,” but ultimately it is their personal lives that suffer. Max King is driven to make a better world. As a medical resident at L.A. County Hospital, he has daunting responsibilities. Jan King, his wife, is a resident in pediatrics. She’s a reluctant reformer. On New Year’s Eve 1976, Max visits his best friend, Abe Grant, and pours out his soul about the last five years. In 1970, Max and Jan King finished a difficult year of internship at the hospital. Max has transformed from an indifferent medical student into a leader of young activists, while Jan struggles with an abusive academic culture. The hospital is short of funds and key staff. The activists hold a press conference to claim that twenty-five patients have died from inadequate care. Afterward, they’re subjected to a witch hunt to quash their complaints. Meanwhile Jan is pregnant and delivers a baby with a medical complication that suggests paternity other than Max.
Book Synopsis Mother Stone: the Vitality of Modern British Sculpture by : Anne Middleton Wagner
Download or read book Mother Stone: the Vitality of Modern British Sculpture written by Anne Middleton Wagner and published by Paul Mellon Ctr for Studies. This book was released on 2005 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mother Stone Anne Middleton Wagner looks anew at the carvings of the first generation of British modernists, a group centered around Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Jacob Epstein. Wagner probes the work of these sculptors, discusses their shared avant-garde materialism, and identifies a common theme that runs through their work and that of other artists of the period: maternity. Why were artists for three turbulent decades after the First World War seemingly preoccupied with representations of pregnant women and the mother and child? Why was this the great new subject, especially for sculpture? Why was the imagery of bodily reproduction at the core of the effort to revitalize what in Britain had become a somnolent art? Wagner finds the answers to these questions at the intersection between the politics of maternity and sculptural innovation. She situates British sculpture fully within the new reality of “bio-power”—the realm of Marie Stopes, Brave New World, and Melanie Klein. And in a series of brilliant studies of key works, she offers a radical rereading of this sculpture’s main concerns and formal language.

And Jesse, who never forgave her for leaving in the first place, is finally threatening to expose the truth. Marianne will do anything to protect the life she's built, the husband and daughter who must never know what happened all those years ago. Even if it means turning to her worst enemy for help...

Book Synopsis At the Eleventh Hour by : Susan Carol Stone
Download or read book At the Eleventh Hour written by Susan Carol Stone and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Blanche Stone was diagnosed with bone cancer, her daughter Susan interrupted an unusual life -- in a Buddhist monastery -- to return home and become a full-time caregiver. With practical wisdom, humor, and an eye for telling detail, Susan relates their experiences sharing a house, dealing with finances, participating in family and holiday rituals, finding ways to ease Blanche's discomfort as her health declined, gratefully accepting the support of the local hospice, and coming to a greater appreciation of each other as individuals.Readers of any faith (or none) can benefit from these accounts of living moment by moment, responding without preconception to each evolving situation, embracing one's own needs along with the needs of a person facing death. Susan shows how such living happens: within a sacred place where there is room to honor and be awed by what is at hand, however difficult, and where one gains the freedom to enjoy it all.At the Eleventh Hour presents a model for how children can offer parents the gift of a good death. Like a wise and supportive friend, it can lift spirits and be a reminder that, hard as it is, it's okay -- and sometimes even fun. (In this way, the book is similar to Tuesdays with Morrie which has lifted the spirits of millions).

Download or read book Stone Fruit written by Lee Lai and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bron and Ray are a queer couple who enjoy their role as the fun weirdo aunties to Ray’s niece, six-year-old Nessie. Their playdates are little oases of wildness, joy, and ease in all three of their lives, which ping-pong between familial tensions and deep-seeded personal stumbling blocks. As their emotional intimacy erodes, Ray and Bron isolate from each other and attempt to repair their broken family ties ― Ray with her overworked, resentful single-mother sister and Bron with her religious teenage sister who doesn’t fully grasp the complexities of gender identity. Taking a leap of faith, each opens up and learns they have more in common with their siblings than they ever knew. At turns joyful and heartbreaking, Stone Fruit reveals through intimately naturalistic dialog and blue-hued watercolor how painful it can be to truly become vulnerable to your loved ones ― and how fulfilling it is to be finally understood for who you are. Lee Lai is one of the most exciting new voices to break into the comics medium and she has created one of the truly sophisticated graphic novel debuts in recent memory.
