I'm That Girl by Jordan Chiles, Simone Biles (.ePUB)
đź I'm That Girl by Jordan Chiles, Simone Biles (.ePUB) The sensational two-time Olympian Jordan Chilesâs heartfelt, inspiring memoir chronicling her unlikely path to the podiumâincluding the unprecedented challenges, the joy of winning, the crushing pain of defeat, and the love and support of her devoted family and teammates that helps her stay strong. It was a rare and stunning reversal: after the judges at the 2024 Paris Olympics determined that Jordan had rightfully scored third place for her performanceâfollowing a successful challenge by her coachâshe earned the bronze medal. Later, Jordanâs euphoria turned to devastation when the Court of Arbitration for Sport stripped her of that medal based on nothing but semantics. Jordan called the ruling, âOne of the most challenging moments of my career. Believe me when I say I have had many.â In her powerful, eye-opening memoir, Jordan digs deep, sharing the story of her lifeâs challengesâthe racism she encountered as a gifted Black girl in a predominantly white elite sport, the battles with body image and subsequent unhealthy relationship with food, the grueling practices, the injuries, the moments of nearly calling it quits. Through it all, Jordan refused to give up. Through sheer gritâand the love of her familyâshe kept working and winning. When Simone Biles stepped away from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after a case of the âtwisties,â Jordan stepped in to play a key role in securing silver for Team USA. And in Paris, Jordan made history as part of the first all-Black podium in all of men's and womenâs gymnastics. Told with refreshing candor and Jordanâs irrepressible spirit, Iâm That Girl is a glimpse of life in the psychologically and physically demanding upper echelons of womenâs elite gymnastics. Exploring the deep bonds so often forged in pressure cookers, Jordan speaks openly about her relationships with her teammates, including her best friend and âbig sisterâ Simone Biles, and how their support for one another has proved invaluable on and off the mat. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Jordan Chiles, Simone Biles Size 41.7MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/ZwrryyRzzpDL https://devuploads.com/slxfdp1mbvhp

Making Sense of Slavery by Scott Spillman (.ePUB)
đź Making Sense of Slavery by Scott Spillman (.ePUB) An âessentialâ (James Oakes, author of The Crooked Path to Abolition) history of the study of slavery in America, from the Revolutionary era to the 1619 Project, showing how these intellectual debates have shaped American public life In recent years, from school board meetings to the halls of Congress, Americans have engaged in fierce debates about how slavery and its legacies ought to be taught, researched, and narrated. But since the earliest days of the Republic, political leaders, abolitionists, judges, scholars, and ordinary citizens have all struggled to explain and understand the peculiar institution. In Making Sense of Slavery, historian Scott Spillman shows that the study of slavery was a vital catalyst for the broader development of American intellectual life and politics. In contexts ranging from the plantation fields to the university classroom, Americans interpreted slavery and its afterlives through many lenses, shaping the trajectory of disciplines from economics to sociology, from psychology to history. Spillman delves deeply into the archives, and into the pathbreaking work of scholars such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Annette Gordon-Reed, to trace how generations of Americans have wrestled with the paradox of slavery in a country founded on principles of liberty and equality. As the debate over the place of slavery in our history rages on, Making Sense of Slavery shows that what is truly central to American history is this very debate itself. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Scott Spillman Size 2.5MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/IwJ31zr0742i https://devuploads.com/lw2415znb87n

Outmaneuvered by James A. Warren (.ePUB)
đź Outmaneuvered by James A. Warren (.ePUB) From a celebrated military historian, a highly engaging and thought-provoking exploration of why the United States has failed again and again in irregular wars and military campaigns from Vietnam to Afghanistan. Since the early 1960s, the United States has fought in four major wars and a cluster of complicated and bloody irregular warfare campaigns. The majority have ended in failure, or something close to it. Why has the US been so ineffective, despite the American armed forces being universally recognized as the best in the world? Most scholars and analysts believe that the primary cause of our abysmal war record since Vietnam has been the US militaryâs overwhelmingly conventional approach to conflict, which favors kinetic operations, highly mobile precision firepower, and sophisticated systems of command and control. Here, James Warren argues that a much more formidable obstacle to success has been pervasive strategic ineptitude at the highest levels of decision-making, including the presidency, the national security council, and the foreign policy community in DC. Time and time again, American presidents have committed military forces to operations in foreign countries whose politics and cultures they did not fully understand. Presidents of both political parties, including Johnson, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Obama have overestimated the capacity of US forces to alter the social and political landscape of foreign nations, and underestimated the ability of insurgents and terrorists to develop effective protracted war strategies that, in time, sap Washingtonâs will to carry on the fight. In the War on Terror, Warren asserts that senior military officers have been complicit in extending bankrupt strategies by refusing to speak truthfully about them to their civilian bosses. So have the American people, who lost interest in the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and refused to press their president and congress to bring an end to two futile conflicts. Warren advocates for a less hubristic foreign policy and a broader conception of warfare as a political and military enterprise. For readers of political, military, and US historyâas well as anyone interested in international relations and geopolitical strategyâthis book offers unparalleled insights into Americaâs priorâand potentially futureâmilitary conflicts. â»ïž Book's Info: Author James A.

Same River, Twice: Putin's War on Women by Sofi Oksanen (.ePUB)
đź Same River, Twice: Putin's War on Women by Sofi Oksanen (.ePUB) Blending the journalistic rigor of Masha Gessen with the call to action of We Should All Be Feminists, a searing denunciation of Putinâs Russia, revealing how modern Russiaâs history of weaponizing sexual violence against women plays a crucial role in its current strategy to retain political influence and dominance abroad On March 22, 2023, the Swedish Academy organized a conference on threats to democracy and freedom of expression featuring a slate of distinguished speakers including Arundhati Roy, Timothy Snyder, and Sofi Oksanen. Oksanenâs addressâentitled âPutin's War on Womenââ would go on to spark such interest that the acclaimed Finnish writer felt compelled to return to it as the basis for a larger, more in-depth look at Putinâs threat to women. The result is Same River, Twice, a devastating book-length essay that incisively builds on the themes and arguments first presented in her powerful speech. During the Soviet occupation of Estonia, Oksanen's great-aunt was arrested and brutally interrogated overnight. Left permanently traumatized by the experience, she would never speak again. Using her family story as a starting point, Oksanen launches an investigation into the systematic crimes that the Russian government has, for nearly a century, committed with impunity. From the Russian military's entry into Berlin in 1945 to its modern invasion of Ukraine, Russia has continually employed violence against women when combatting its enemies. Life for women in Putin's Russia is little better; gender equality is in decline, women are silenced by the legal system, and rape is used to humiliate victims, especially women in media. Through Oksanen's sober analysis a disturbing picture emerges: under Putin, misogyny has become foundational to the stateâs power. It underpins the current regime, serves as a means of weaving international alliances, and forms an essential part of Russiaâs ongoing genocide in Ukraine, in turn posing a threat to the rights of women and minorities worldwide. As threats to democracy grow stronger across the globe, the powerful and timely Same River, Twice is a warning that cannot not be ignored. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Sofi Oksanen Size 1.2MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/rainZDqWUyAF https://devuploads.com/4rlmjk45h73n

The Future of the Novel by Simon Okotie (.ePUB)
đź The Future of the Novel by Simon Okotie (.ePUB) Author and essayist Simon Okotie interprets the signposts â evident through the history of the novel â that point to the formâs future. Weâre used to the novel being declared dead, dying, or endangered. Seemingly every few years, a critic will read it the last rites â yet the form remains more popular than ever with readers. In The Future of the Novel, author Simon Okotie presents a bold future for long-form fiction, and suggests its evolution is far from over. Okotie begins by responding to and critiquing John Carruthersâ book Scheherezade, or The Future of the English Novel, published in 1927 as part of the âTo-day and To-morrowâ series â the inspiration for our present-day FUTURES. He then cites others who have since meditated on the direction of the form: Henry James, D. H. Lawrence, William Burroughs, AnaĂŻs Nin, Zadie Smith, and China MiĂ©ville, among others. In doing so, he also tells the story of the novel itself, from the realism of the 18th and 19th centuries, through the early stirrings of modernism with its focus on the âinner lifeâ, right through to the abstraction and experimentation of 21st century postmodernism, and beyond. All of which informs Okotieâs own future vision for the novel â one that extends even further into the reaches of the subconscious, and speculates on the uneasy role artifical intelligence will play in the coming decades. The Future of The Novel is a rich and immersive portrait of an artform which, despite constant claims to the contrary, is more alive and exciting than ever. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Simon Okotie Size 0.2MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/IKRyWYhWjShj https://devuploads.com/9oqk3o3rrzor

But how well do we really understand it, and what can we do to transform it into something newâinto resilience, or courage, or creativity? In this extraordinary book, Dr. Alexandra Shaker, a clinical psychologist, takes us on a journey through the bodyâfrom brain to blood to heart to gutsâto examine the connections between our emotional, psychological, and physical lives. She unravels what the body can teach us about anxiety, and what we can learn from our long cultural history of the anxious impulse. Melding psychology, neuroscience, history, and literature, she considers whyâdespite all the checklists and scientific advancementsâwe are still struggling to outrun our oldest terrors, and how a new approach focused on accepting anxiety as part of the human condition can help revolutionise our relationship with it. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Alexandra Shaker Size 2.8MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational > Psychology File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/hAaaKY2SbiXh https://devuploads.com/4qjyweabaclu

Jones grew up feeling her Black identity was obvious to all who saw her. But weeks into college, a Black Studies classmate challenged Jonesâs right to speak. Suspicious of the color of her skin and the texture of her hair, he confronted her with a question that inspired a lifetime of introspection: âW.ho do you think you are?â Now a prizewinning scholar of Black history, Jones delves into her familyâs past for answers. In every generation since her great-great-great-grandmother survived enslavement to raise a free family, color determined her ancestorsâ lives. But the color line was shifting and jagged, not fixed and straight. Some backed away from it, others skipped along it, and others still were cut deep by its sharp teeth. Journeying across centuries, from rural Kentucky and small-town North Carolina to New York City and its suburbs, The Trouble of Color is a lyrical, deeply felt meditation on the most fundamental matters of identity, belonging, and family. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Martha S.

As seen in Vanity Fair's powerful excerpt, â'Women Will Not Be Admitted on the Climb': Inside a Groundbreaking Trek up Denali" Cassidy Randall draws on extensive archival research and original interviews to tell an engrossing, edge-of-the-seat adventure story about a forgotten group of climbers who had the audacity to believe that women could walk alone in extraordinary and treacherous heights. Grace Hoeman dreamed of standing on top of Denali. The tallest peak in North America, the fierce polar mountain loomed large in many climbersâ imaginations, and Grace, a doctor in Alaska, had come close to the top, only to be turned back by altitude sickness and a storm that took the lives of seven fellow climbers in one remorseless blow. Other expeditions denied her a place because of her gender, and when a letter arrived from a climber in California named Arlene Blum, whoâd also been barred from expeditionsâunless she stayed in base camp and cooked for the men, Grace got a defiant idea: she would organize and lead the first-ever all-female ascent of the frozen Alaskan peak. Everyone told the âDenali Damsels,â as the team called themselves, that it couldnât be done: Women were incapable of climbing mountains on their own. Men had walked on the moon; women still had not stood on the highest points on Earth. But these six women were unwilling to be limited by sexists and misogynists. They pushed past barriers in society at large, the climbing world, and their own bodies. And then, when disaster struck at the worst time on their expedition, they could either keep their wits and prove their mettle, or die and confirm the worst opinions of men. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Cassidy Randall Size 9.2MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/V0SzmoKRj838 https://devuploads.com/i6kxiv3njd6z

Unrig the Game by Vanessa Priya Daniel (.ePUB)
đź Unrig the Game by Vanessa Priya Daniel (.ePUB) A much-needed playbook to supporting and retaining women of color in leadership roles to create lasting change in the world, from a former labor and community organizer and founder of one of the nationâs premier funders of women of color-led organizations. In the U.S., many of the most significant social justice victories of our time have been spearheaded by women of color leaders. From the streets, to the ballot box, to elected office, no other demographic group stands up more consistently and unequivocally for human rights, democracy, and the planet. Remarkably, theyâve accomplished this despite conditionsâin their fields and organizationsâthat make leadership uniquely treacherous for them. For women of color leaders, the game is rigged. How much more could humanity be winning if we unrigged it? What might be possible, in this clutch moment of history, with so much on the line, if movements stopped benching our best in ways that negatively impact the scoreboard for everybody? Unrig the Game equips us to support effective women of color leaders so we can all win. A former community and union organizer who started one of the largest foundations to resource women of color-led organizing, Vanessa Priya Daniel draws on candid interviews with forty-five prominent women of color movement leaders, along with her own experience at the helm of an organization, to offer an on-the-ground perspective of the obstacles leaders face, how they navigate them, and how allies can show up. Daniel highlights the unique strengths and âsuperpowersâ these leaders bring to the fight for social change, while debunking the myth that identity alone makes a transformative leader. For women of color leaders, this book is a balm, a sister circle, and a master class. For everyone, it is an essential tool to realize the world we all deserve. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Vanessa Priya Daniel Size 5.6MB Category Non-Fiction > General > Business File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/TLeTxCSXA9F4 https://devuploads.com/7shxpfuhw5zw
