Holding It Together

How Women Became America's Safety Net

By: Jessica Calarco

Other countries have social safety nets. The U.S. has women. Holding It Together chronicles the causes and dire consequences. America runs on women—women who are tasked with holding society together at the seams and fixing it when things fall apart. In this tour de force, acclaimed Sociologist Jessica Calarco lays bare the devastating consequences of our status quo. Holding It Together draws on five years of research in which Calarco surveyed over 4000 parents and conducted more than 400 hours of interviews with women who bear the brunt of our broken system. A widowed single mother struggles to patch together meager public benefits while working three jobs; an aunt is pushed into caring for her niece and nephew at age fifteen once their family is shattered by the opioid epidemic; a daughter becomes the backstop caregiver for her mother, her husband, and her child because of the perceived flexibility of her job; a well-to-do couple grapples with the moral dilemma of leaning on overworked, underpaid childcare providers to achieve their egalitarian ideals. Stories of grief and guilt abound. Yet, they are more than individual tragedies. Tracing present-day policies back to their roots, Calarco reveals a systematic agreement to dismantle our country’s social safety net and persuade citizens to accept precarity while women bear the brunt. She leads us to see women's labor as the reason we've gone so long without the support systems that our peer nations take for granted, and how women’s work maintains the illusion that we don't need a net. Weaving eye-opening original research with revelatory sociological narrative, Holding It Together is a bold call to demand the institutional change that each of us deserves, and a warning about the perils of living without it.

The Strawberry Season

The Strawberry Season

By: Jessica Stirling

Since the dawn of time, the Isle of Mull, off the Scottish coast, has had to fend off ferocious winds and a ravenous ocean intent on swallowing the island whole. Roughened by ceaseless storms and chill, Mull remained a quiet community, set in its ways, with almost no fodder for town gossip, as the nineteenth century drew to a close. Until, that is, new blood moved in, setting the local Campbell sisters, Innis and Biddy, against each other in all-out war for the love of the same newcomer, Michael Tarrant. But just as the passage of time changes slightly the cragged hills of Mull, so does it soften hearts to reconciliation: the two sisters realize their bond is too thick for a man to sever. For Innis, marriage to Michael Tarrant turned out far from idyllic: he fled to seek life outside Mull, leaving Innis to raise their children. Biddy, too, has married, but still yearns for the happiness that has always slipped through her fingers. Although it has taken sixteen years for life to return to a semblance of what it was before the Tarrants arrived, something is still amiss. Then a pregnant woman's arrival on the island turns any countryside serenity on its head. Loathed by some, loved by others, and feared as an ill omen by still others, this Fay Ludlow embodies the changes due to fall upon Mull. The winds of change at her back will bring with them ghosts of a past buried too soon in Jessica Stirling's The Strawberry Season.

This Is for Tonight

When Andi attends a music festival with one goal in mind - capture an interview with a famous band so she can pay for college - she gets more than she bargained for in This is for Tonight by Jessica Patrick Andi Kennedy needs to make money for college, and fast. But her little YouTube crafting channel, while fun, isn't exactly a money maker. So she's heading to the world-famous Cabazon Valley Music and Arts Festival with a goal - film a video that will launch her channel into popularity and turn it into a legit money making venture, even if it means selling out her creative vision. Instead, she finds obnoxious Jay Bankar, the annoyingly hot host of a popular prank channel who is the actual worst. Andi hates everything Jay stands for, which makes the undeniable connection she feels with him really freaking inconvenient. Soon she finds herself competing with Jay for an interview with the festival's headlining band, which could be the key to turning her little channel directly into college tuition. But she's starting to discover that there is more to Jay than his jerky on-screen persona, and she has to decide what's more important - winning, or giving a second chance to a guy who couldn't be more wrong for her.

Why Are We 'Artists'?

100 World Art Manifestos

By: Jessica Lack

Art is not a luxury. Art is a basic social need to which everyone has a right'. This extraordinary collection of 100 artists' manifestos from across the globe over the last 100 years brings together political activists, anti-colonialists, surrealists, socialists, nihilists and a host of other voices. From the Négritude movement in Europe, Africa and Martinique to Japan's Bikyoto, from Iraqi modernism to Australian cyberfeminism, they are by turns personal, political, utopian, angry, sublime and revolutionary. Some have not been published in English before; some were written in climates of censorship and brutality; some contain visions of a future still on the horizon. What unites them is the belief that art can change the world.

The Repercussions of Individual and Collective Trauma

By: Jessica Stone,Robert J. Grant,Clair Mellenthin

A systems-oriented look at how unhealed trauma can prevent optimal functioning—and what to do about it Trauma Impacts: Repercussions of Individual and Collective Trauma explores the many ways that traumatic experiences affect people from diverse backgrounds, as individuals and in groups.

That’s middle school, and it can be a little . . . weird. Yes, there are cool things about middle school, like more independence, new friends, and new activities. But there’s baffling stuff too, like harsh judgment, the whole “popularity” thing, and, of course, drama.

Slip on your lab coats, because we’re going to dissect these behaviors one by one to understand what’s really going on.

A Life with Anorexia

By: Jessica Mason

DescriptionThis book tells the true story of a long and hard battle that the author (Jessica) had with anorexia. It journeys through thick and thin as she tries to recover with the help from CAMHS, and tells the ups and downs she had with suffering from this disease. Being told over 3 times that she would be hospitalized or even die she still didn't do anything to stop this from happening. Anorexia had such a strong grip over her and wouldn't allow her to go to sleep until it was happy that she'd done enough exercise. As she kept loosing weight anorexia was making her believe more and more of its lies and less of what her family were saying to her. After her life was put on standstill she did everything she could to fight this. Anorexia had taken over her life and she had a long way ahead of her to recovery but with the love and support she received it was possible. She was made to eat 2500 calories and was told to rest all day everyday. No exercise and no control. She had to put on weight or she would go to hospital. As she started putting on weight she got depressed and started self harming. She was prescribed with antidepressants and was finally on the road to recovery. A life with anorexia, my experience includes messages and emails to and from family members that show support and love and show how much the author was struggling. This heartbreaking loving story tells a powerful true story about the struggle the author had with anorexia and what the affects are with having this illness. By sharing this story the reader can see what it's like to be controlled by this horrible illness, what can be done to prevent others getting ill and shows that there is hope for people who are out there suffering.About the AuthorJessica Mason is 18 years old. She was born in 1992 and was close to dying as soon as her life started. She was born at 26 weeks. Jessica now lives in Burgess Hill with her mum, twin sister and stepdad. Jessica doesn't see her dad anymore but is still in contact with him. He was very controlling as she grew up and didn't like her not doing what he wanted. He made Jessica feel guilty about the things she didn't do that he wanted her to do and blackmailed her into doing the things he wanted. Jessica wrote the book "A life with Anorexia, My experience" because she wanted her story to be heard so it could help out other anorexic's and to show others what Anorexia can do to people. Jessica is now working as a Nursery Practitioner at a local children's day Nursery. She got the job in 2009 and trained towards a NVQ level 2. Jessica is still controlled in some ways by her anorexia but is not classified as "ill." She was discharged from the mental health unit CAMHS in 2010 after nearly 2 whole years of going and receiving help. She was diagnosed with Anorexia back in 2008 but feels she was showing signs of anorexia way before this year. She used to count calories in her head and enjoyed doing exercise until one day something changed. Anorexia had a grip over her and told her what she should and shouldn't be doing and punished her for disobeying what it said. She lost loads of weight and suddenly had an intense fear of gaining weight and eating. She did everything she could to get out of eating . All the secrecy lead her and her mum having arguments nearly every night and left Jessica feeling very depressed and suicidal . Once Jessica was prescribed with anti depressants in 2009 her life turned around and she started to get better.

The Scandal of Holiness

Renewing Your Imagination in the Company of Literary Saints

By: Jessica Hooten Wilson

How do we become better people? Initiatives such as New Year's resolutions, vision boards, thirty-day plans, and self-help books often fail to compel us to live differently. We settle for small goals--frugal spending, less yelling at the kids, more time at the gym--but we are called to something far greater. We are created to be holy. Award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson explains that learning to hear the call of holiness requires cultivating a new imagination--one rooted in the act of reading. Learning to read with eyes attuned to the saints who populate great works of literature moves us toward holiness, where God opens up a way of living that extends far beyond what we can conjure for ourselves. Literature has the power to show us what a holy life looks like, and these depictions often scandalize even as they shape our imagination. As such, careful reading becomes a sort of countercultural spiritual discipline. The book includes devotionals, prayers, wisdom from the saints, and more to help individuals and groups cultivate a saintly imagination. Foreword by Lauren F. Winner.

Suns Will Rise

By: Jessica Brody,Joanne Rendell

Les Misérables meets The Lunar Chronicles in this thrilling conclusion to the System Divine trilogy that’s an “explosion of emotion, intrigue, romance, and revolution” (Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series). An heir. A renegade. A convict. A cyborg. A défecteur. Five rebels. One revolution. It’s been three months since the Patriarche was beheaded, leaving behind no known heir. Now, the planet of Laterre is unrecognizable. General Bonnefaçon has cleaned up the streets, fed the hungry, and restored peace while the next leader is decided upon. From the outside, Laterre seems to be flourishing. But dangerous rifts threaten to shatter the planet from within. The Red Scar has been killing off anyone with a legitimate claim to the Regime, while the Vangarde are preparing for the return of their infamous leader. Then, it’s revealed that the Patriarche had a daughter who is still alive. A missing Paresse heir…Alouette has been locked in a secret facility for months, interrogated on the whereabouts of the General’s renegade grandson. Marcellus is desperately searching for Alouette, knowing she’s the key to the Vangarde’s plan to overthrow the corrupt Regime, but unaware that he, himself, is being hunted by a new cyborg tasked with tracking down the planet’s most wanted criminals. Meanwhile Chatine is growing restless, living underground with a rebel group she doesn’t fit into. Until an old friend solicits her help to save the Défecteur community from a mysterious, new threat. A threat that will tie them all together. When the general makes an explosive play for power, allegiances will shift, rebels will become leaders, barricades will rise, and the tinderbox of Laterre will finally ignite, launching a revolution five hundred years in the making.

Fore Square

By: Jessica Leatherman

—-E.R.M.— “You’re just an Epi Retinal Membrane. A film. A clear tissue that grows over the fovea, the center most part of vision, without cause. Removed in eye surgery.” What I say to myself, when I see them with him. At only 19-years-old, Rose Manleather met and fell in love with a rich married innovative business man. She told herself if she met him twice, it was destiny. But after their second meeting, she saw in her minds eye that she needed to improve her own life and that love would find her again. After she had her life on track and both were single. She let El. Even Long go, feeling confident that life would bring them back together when timing was appropriate. Rose then meets and inspired by 7th Day Adventist, Dr. Rancheros and his family. She begins doing sled work to clean up her way of living. But locker room talk and misinformed rich women gossip rips and isolates Rose from her community and her chosen family. From unfortunate and unfair beginnings, Rose just thought life was always hard. But after parting ways with El. Even Long, life got substantially worse. An over 20 year mystery proves dark and sinister secrets that are keeping Rose’s life on hold and preventing her from achieving her goals. What the group of people do to Rose and her children, Morgan and HRB, will shock you! A cover up in epic societal proportions involving flash mobs, hidden cameras, a pop music singer, phone stalking, forgery, subliminal sound and imagery, NDA’s, messages hidden in the media, and hired health care professionals. All tactics used to force Rose Manleather to shut up! And all along the way, a cruel pattern named Agent Orange continues in Rose’s life. Will Rose ever see El. Even Long and Dr. Rancheros again? Can she expose the truths and get her voice back? Can Rose get free from the bondage that has her in misery and on hold? Or has her life been so ruined by lies and corruptness that Rose Manleather and her children are stuck hidden and controlled forever? A life’s story told by a collection of short stories involving many characters starting in Rose’s childhood to present day. All this weaved together for the reader to come to their own conclusion on what happened to and will become of Rose Manleather.

Classroom Pivotal Response Teaching for Children with Autism

By: Jessica Suhrheinrich,Sarah Reed,Laura Schreibman,Cynthia Bolduc

Classroom Pivotal Response Teaching, or CPRT, was developed to help meet the educational needs of young children with autism. CPRT (originally called Pivotal Response Training or Treatment) is a form of naturalistic behavioral intervention, based on theprinciples of applied behavior analysis (ABA), and is soundly supported in the scientific literature. This manual will describe the components of CPRT and how to implement the approach in your classroom. Although this manual is geared primarily toward preschool through grade 3 teachers, CPRT strategies can be used by a variety of professionals. Speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, behavior specialists, psychologists and other teaching professionals may all find CPRT a valuable strategy. Additionally, the techniques in this manual may be useful with typically developing children and those with a variety of special needs. Most children can benefit from this structured, systematic approach that utilizes naturally occurring teaching opportunities. One of the strengths of this approach is that it is adaptable to a wide range of teaching goals and service settings. All who teach are encouraged to integrate CPRT into their existing strategies as often as possible"--Provided by publisher.
