Handmaid to Divinity

Natural Philosophy, Poetry, and Gender in Seventeenth-century England

By: Desiree Hellegers

In Handmaid to Divinity, Desiree Hellegers establishes seventeenth-century poetry as a critical resource for understanding the debates about natural philosophy, astronomy, and medicine during the Scientific Revolution. Hellegers provides important insights into seventeenth-century responses to the emergent discourses of western science and into the cultural roots of the current environmental crisis. Drawing on recent cultural and feminist critiques of science, Hellegers offers finely nuanced readings of John Donne’s Anniversaries, John Milton’s Paradise Lost, and Anne Finch’s The Spleen.

Had he found her again only to lose her to a stalker? Slade Donovan and Kari Malone shared one anonymous night of hot sex. Five years later unexpected circumstances throw them together again and what's between them burns hotter than ever. But as a member of Delta Force, Slade is wary of relationships, drawn to Kari on the one hand and hesitant on the other. Kari has her own demons, the stalker she moved to escape who seems to track her everywhere. As the unknown stalker ramps up his game, it will take the Delta Force team to rescue her, and the danger to show them both that what they have is electric, erotic and real.

The Soul Online

Bereavement, Social Media, and Competent Care

By: Graham Joseph Hill,Desiree Geldenhuys

Pandemics, conflicts, and crises have increased suffering, death, and loss worldwide. The growing phenomenon of online interactions by the bereaved with the online presence of their deceased loved ones has recently come to the attention of caring professionals. Many questions emerge. How do we understand and respond to digital memorialization? What do we make of digital identities and continuing bonds? How can we engage with digital bereavement communities? What is the future of digital death and bereavement rituals and practices? How have forms of technospirituality and cybergnosticism emerged? How do counselors and carers respond to advances in the digital afterlife? Graham Joseph Hill and Desiree Geldenhuys examine existing therapeutic responses to death and bereavement practices and evaluate the efficacy in meeting the needs of mourners in a digital context. Geldenhuys and Hill explore the rising interest in spirituality and the phenomenon of technospirituality, including interest in the afterlife. The authors outline new death and bereavement practices in the digital public sphere. Hill and Geldenhuys offer ways that therapeutic and care practitioners can meet these needs. Finally, the authors develop new proposals for counseling, pastoral, and spiritual carers to help them address the needs of the bereaved.

Born Unbreakable

5 Steps to Overcoming Your Self-Limiting Beliefs

By: Desiree Maya

“I’m not good enough.” “I’m not worthy.” “I’m not capable.” Self-limiting beliefs plague us all eventually. In a noisy world that sets unreasonable expectations of how you’re supposed to live your life, it’s easy to second-guess yourself. Self-limiting beliefs come from everyday things like expectations from others, social media comparison, cultural norms, and past experiences and traumas. A limited mindset can rob you of achieving peace, living up to your peak potential, and realizing deep fulfillment. Whether you’re feeling like you’re not enough, struggling to let go of the past, or yearning simply to live life on your own terms (maybe even all of the above), Born Unbreakable is the roadmap to putting life’s challenges in the rearview mirror. Warren Buffett said, “The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself.” Now is the time to make a meaningful investment into becoming an unapologetic version of yourself. This profound guide teaches: -how certified transformational coach, Dez Maya, and many others just like her have overcome self-limiting beliefs to live a limitless life -five key steps that will help you acknowledge, unpack, and grow through limited thinking -what it looks like to radically assess yourself and the environment around you, so you can adjust what’s not working in your favor -how to take incremental action that leads to sustainable success habits and a growth mindset -the importance of leaving a legacy that you can be proud of and that will make a lasting impact on the world around you

Webster

By: Amanda Desiree

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Webster

By: Amanda Desiree

In the summer of 1974, in a derelict Rhode Island mansion called Trevor Hall, a team of scientists taught American Sign Language to a chimpanzee. They affectionately christened their subject “Smithy.” His official name was Webster. The Smithy Project ended in tragedy, some believing that a dark presence inside Trevor Hall had been disturbed. Webster was acquired by CSAM, a research lab in California run by the iron-fisted Manfried Teague. CSAM had a reputation for sullen staff, gloomy conditions, and cruel experiments. Despite this, two of Webster’s original researchers, Jeff Dalton and Ruby Cardini, followed him west, determined to look after their friend. But another entity followed the chimp as well, and in the waning years of the 1970s, “Webster” became synonymous with a menagerie of inexplicable events, strange social movements, curious legal cases, and chilling courtroom testimonies. All were haunted by the question left unanswered at Trevor Hall: Had Webster not only bridged the gap between man and animal, but between this world and the next?

Women's Experiences with HIV/AIDS

Mending Fractured Selves

By: R Dennis Shelby,Desiree Ciambrone

Meet the women behind the statistics! Women's Experiences with HIV/AIDS: Mending Fractured Selves examines the impact of HIV/AIDS on women, the fastest-growing subgroup of the HIV-infected population of the United States. Based on interviews with HIV-infected women, the book gives voice to their experiences. This powerful text offers a firsthand view of what it is like to live day-to-day as a woman with the added burden of HIV/AIDS. Women's Experiences with HIV/AIDS is a powerful and compelling look at the day-to-day struggles of 37 women infected with HIV. Their stories detail their ongoing efforts—with varying degrees of success—to come to grips with the disease as they try to rebuild their lives. Through qualitative analysis, the book demonstrates the importance of relational resources, such as AIDS activism, support groups, and social support. It also addresses potential problems for women associated with caregiving and presents ethnographic research findings on the complex factors that affect women with HIV (socioeconomic status, sexual preference, lifestyle differences). Women's Experiences with HIV/AIDS also addresses research topics such as: how HIV infection affects a woman's sense of self how women repair disruption and restore identities the limits to women's coping strategies and whether those strategies still work if women become functionally impaired or develop AIDS how women's structural and social environments facilitate or impede repair the role of women's informal networks in biological disruption and repair A rare look at the experience of women infected with HIV (most studies focus on male samples), Women's Experiences with HIV/AIDS is an invaluable academic resource as a course supplement in the fields of medical sociology, women's studies, public health, and community health, and is an enlightening read for everyone interested in HIV/AIDS research.

A Detroit Rose

By: Lady jammie Desiree

My Dream of Florence Ballard: A Detroit Rose was developed from my mom telling me all these wonderful stories of Motown music in the 1960s. She remembered Florence Ballard when she lived in Detroit. I would ask my mom about it when I was a child growing up. I would say, Mom, please tell me the stories of Florence Ballard, and my mom would say, Oh, you want to hear another Flo story. Flo was Florence Ballards nickname. It is short for Florence. My mom would light up her cigarette and tell me such beautiful stories of Florence Ballard. I would be mesmerized by her stories. From my moms stories, I dreamed of meeting Florence Ballard. And upon waking up from my dream, I wrote my dream of Florence Ballard. It is a fiction story written for all genders and all ages. This book is full of entertainment and original songs I wrote. It takes place in Detroit, Michigan, during the 1960s. The story takes you into a dream of watching Florence grow again, and we get to watch her revolve again. In this story, Florence Ballard is a shining star. Her life and music lives on forevermore.

Gender Inequality in Our Changing World

A Comparative Approach

By: Lori Kenschaft,Roger Clark,Desiree Ciambrone

Gender Inequality in Our Changing World: A Comparative Approach focuses on the contemporary United States but places it in historical and global context. Written for sociology of gender courses, this textbook identifies conditions that encourage greater or lesser gender inequality, explains how gender and gender inequality change over time, and explores how gender intersects with other hierarchies, especially those related to race, social class, and sexual identity. The authors integrate historical and international materials as they help students think both theoretically and empirically about the causes and consequences of gender inequality, both in their own lives and in the lives of others worldwide.

Language of the Heart

A Sufi Interpretation of Form (Sura) and Meaning (Mana) in Contemporary Society

By: Eva Desiree van den Berg

This book seeks to examine how Sufi thought might provide critical understanding of contemporary life and a pathway towards the recovery of a more meaningful existence. Rumi’s mystical teachings are of great value at a time of rampant materialism and indiscriminate consumerism, and have the potential to illuminate the precarious state of the world, as well as revitalize contemporary social critique, eco-philosophy and bio-semiotics in what is increasingly being regarded as a post-secular age.

By: Desiree Hartsock Siegfried

For anyone looking for a light in the darkness, The Road to Roses?is a transformative guide to finding the strength to hold your head high, even when you're at your lowest. Whether your heart has been broken, your dream has been put on hold, or your character has been placed under the microscope, Desiree Hartsock Siegfried's story will give you the encouragement you need to keep going. When Desiree joined the cast of Season 17 of The Bachelor, the world met a down-to-earth California girl looking for love. After watching her endure a painful rejection from Bachelor Sean Lowe, viewers cheered Desiree on as she became the next Bachelorette. Although audiences had a front row seat to Desiree's journey to find true love, what they couldn't see was how she deepened her faith along the way. For the first time, Desiree is ready to share an up-close-and-personal look at her experience starring on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, where she endured devastating heartache and went on to meet her now-husband Chris Siegfried--all in front of over four million viewers around the globe. The Road to Roses is a never-before-seen look at Desiree's story, from the heartbreak to the healing. Within the pages of The Road to Roses, Desiree also shares valuable life lessons she's learned about: Brokenness, vulnerability, and the power of sharing your story Fully trusting God with your life, no matter what it holds for you Falling in love with yourself first Staying open to love and trust even through the ache of heartbreak, loneliness, and criticism Navigating marriage and motherhood under the scrutiny of social media Following your passions and embracing the journey of entrepreneurship Desiree's story is an honest look at how she found the strength and courage to keep going, even in her darkest moments--and how you can, too. Praise for The Road to Roses: "Desiree's story is a beautiful testament of God's grace and his ability to give us beauty for our ashes. The Road to Roses takes us on a journey of identity and ultimately reveals God's unending faithfulness in each and every season." --Mariela Rosario, founder of She Speaks Fire Ministries "Desiree's honest voice and engaging story will captivate you with each turn of the page. With her desire to be true to who she is--who God made her to be--she navigated the spotlight. Through her story you will learn how to unpack the lies the world has told you so that you too can write your own fairy tale through the life you are living every single day. She invites you to live boldly, love hard, and follow the call that God has for your one beautiful life." --Jenna Kutcher, host of the Goal Digger podcast

The Color of School Reform

The Color of School Reform

Race, Politics, and the Challenge of Urban Education

By: Jeffrey R. Henig,Richard C. Hula,Marion Orr,Desiree S. Pedescleaux

Why is it so difficult to design and implement fundamental educational reform in large city schools in spite of broad popular support for change? How does the politics of race complicate the challenge of building and sustaining coalitions for improving urban schools? These questions have provoked a great deal of theorizing, but this is the first book to explore the issues on the basis of extensive, solid evidence. Here a group of political scientists examines education reform in Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., where local governmental authority has passed from white to black leaders. The authors show that black administrative control of big-city school systems has not translated into broad improvements in the quality of public education within black-led cities. Race can be crucial, however, in fostering the broad civic involvement perhaps most needed for school reform. In each city examined, reform efforts often arise but collapse, partly because leaders are unable to craft effective political coalitions that would commit community resources to a concrete policy agenda. What undermines the leadership, according to the authors, is the complex role of race in each city. First, public authority does not guarantee access to private resources, usually still controlled by white economic elites. Second, local authorities must interact with external actors, at the state and national levels, who remain predominantly white. Finally, issues of race divide the African American community itself and often place limits on what leaders can and cannot do. Filled with insightful explanations together with recommendations for policy change, this book is an important component of the debate now being waged among researchers, education activists, and the community as a whole.
