Book Synopsis This Is All I Got by : Lauren Sandler
Download or read book This Is All I Got written by Lauren Sandler and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • From an award-winning journalist, a poignant and gripping immersion in the life of a young, homeless single mother amid her quest to find stability and shelter in the richest city in America LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD • “Riveting . . . a remarkable feat of reporting.”—The New York Times Camila is twenty-two years old and a new mother. She has no family to rely on, no partner, and no home. Despite her intelligence and determination, the odds are firmly stacked against her. In this extraordinary work of literary reportage, Lauren Sandler chronicles a year in Camila’s life—from the birth of her son to his first birthday—as she navigates the labyrinth of poverty and homelessness in New York City. In her attempts to secure a safe place to raise her son and find a measure of freedom in her life, Camila copes with dashed dreams, failed relationships, the desolation of abandonment, and miles of red tape with grit, humor, and uncanny resilience. Every day, more than forty-five million Americans attempt to survive below the poverty line. Every night, nearly sixty thousand people sleep in New York City-run shelters, 40 percent of them children. In This Is All I Got, Sandler brings this deeply personal issue to life, vividly depicting one woman's hope and despair and her steadfast determination to change her life despite the myriad setbacks she encounters. This Is All I Got is a rare feat of reporting and a dramatic story of survival. Sandler’s candid and revealing account also exposes the murky boundaries between a journalist and her subject when it becomes impossible to remain a dispassionate observer. She has written a powerful and unforgettable indictment of a system that is often indifferent to the needs of those it serves, and that sometimes seems designed to fail. Praise for This Is All I Got “A rich, sociologically valuable work that’s more gripping, and more devastating, than fiction.”—Booklist “Vivid, heartbreaking. . . . Readers will be moved by this harrowing and impassioned call for change.”—Publishers Weekly “A closely observed chronicle . . . Sandler displays her journalistic talent by unerringly presenting this dire situation. . . . An impressive blend of dispassionate reporting, pungent condemnation of public welfare, and gritty humanity.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book Synopsis MizFit: How to Build Muscle and Lose Weight Without Losing Your Mind by : Carla Birnberg
Download or read book MizFit: How to Build Muscle and Lose Weight Without Losing Your Mind written by Carla Birnberg and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-12-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My story about weight loss and finding my healthy living path is an uncomplicated one. I shed 35 pounds nineteen years ago and never looked back. Never regained. Never got off track. Maintained even when Master’s degree, marriage, and motherhood conspired to derail me. The more challenging piece to explain (and the question I’m most frequently asked) is how I’ve stayed on track and maintained my weight loss for so long. I know the statistic is hotly debated, but somewhere around 90% of all weight loss is regained within five years. The answer I give for the reason I’ve stayed in the tiny ten percent? I realized it was what’s on the inside that mattered. I gained the majority of my weight in college. I drank lots of soda (and various other things), ate many late-night junk food meals with friends, and basically enjoyed my college experience. If by “enjoyed” you mean I packed on pounds quickfastandinahurry—which I do. Unlike many of my peers I was pretty okay with my weight gain. The morning I discovered my pants no longer buttoned, did I commence dieting and self-flagellation? Nope. I bloused a sweatshirt over the top of my jeans and proceeded along my soda-drinking way. That said, when graduation loomed, and the time came to don interview suits, I was faced with the reality that none of them zipped. Not only could I not employ my fluffing-the-sweatshirt trick with a skirt-suit, but I’d grown while my bank account had not. Lacking the funds for new clothes, I commenced an exercise and revised eating routine, which after many months resulted in a fitter me. I discovered weight training. I rediscovered my old eating habits. I paid close attention to what I put inside my body. I thought I had it all figured out. I did not. I consumed lots of processed white flour (hello, bagels!), ate virtually no fat (fare thee well beloved salmon!), and was a lean, mean, and exhausted shell of my former self. When I finally grew tired of being tired I stepped back and recorded precisely how I felt after eating various foods. Breads and pastas? I was still famished, usually swollen, and broken out in a rash. In addition I was definitely, clearly lethargic. Fruits, vegetables, complex carbs, and lean proteins? I was a force to be reckoned with. I possessed boundless energy, my swelling/rashes disappeared, and after eating I was satiated. While all of this reads as a no-brainer, it transpired long before others were eating gluten-free and far before I realized when I feel healthier on the inside, everything else (including my outsides) follows suit. Weight-loss maintaining isn’t even a concept I consider these days. My focus, and the one that has facilitated my maintenance for close to two decades, is on fueling my insides and exercising in a way that allows me to live my life as energetically and healthfully (and rash-free) as possible. I approach healthy living as I do all areas of my life. I read. I research. I experience. I seek gurus. I talk to my peers. Yet I remember, at the end of it all, I am the expert of my own body. We may all have the same healthy living goal (longer, healthier lives), but it’s ok for each of us to construct our own path to get there. Are you ready? It’s time to start creating yours. -Carla Birnberg

Download or read book Sex Trafficking written by Siddharth Kara and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The best book ever written on human trafficking for sexual exploitation”—the basis for the feature film, Trafficked, starring Ashley Judd (Kevin Bales, president of Free the Slaves). Every year, hundreds of thousands of women and children are abducted, deceived, seduced, or sold into forced prostitution. These trafficked sex slaves form the backbone of one of the world’s most profitable illicit enterprises and generate huge profits for their exploiters, for unlike narcotics, which must be grown, harvested, refined, and packaged, sex slaves require no such “processing,” and can be repeatedly “consumed.” In this book, Kara provides a riveting account of his four-continent journey into this unconscionable industry, sharing the moving stories of its victims and revealing the shocking conditions of their exploitation. He draws on his background in finance, economics, and law to provide the first ever business analysis of contemporary slavery worldwide, focusing on its most profitable and barbaric form: sex trafficking. Kara describes the local factors and global economic forces that gave rise to this and other forms of modern slavery over the past two decades and quantifies, for the first time, the size, growth, and profitability of each industry. Finally, he identifies the sectors of the sex trafficking industry that would be hardest hit by specifically designed interventions and recommends the specific legal, tactical, and policy measures that would target these vulnerable sectors and help to abolish this form of slavery, once and for all. The author will donate a portion of the proceeds of this book to the anti-slavery organization, Free the Slaves. “Sex trafficking is more of a problem than most people realize. Read this well-written book and find out.”—Kirk Douglas
