and progressive strategies for resisting the violations and repressions that
render girls sexually subordinate.

Seaman, Barbara.
Barbara Seaman, a legendary figure in the women's health movement, and Laura

all the information you need to make smart and informed decisions that will put
you in control during this time of transition--medically, psychologically,
sexually, and even financially. With the latest research on everything from
hormone replacement therapy to skin creams to preventing osteoporosis, this is
the definitive manual. You'll find out which changes are expected and natural
and which can be a cause for concern; how hormonal shifts can affect your
heart, your sex life, and your mood; and what you can do to address these
issues. Perhaps most important, you'll learn how to evaluate what you read in
magazines, hear on the news, and are told by your doctor, so you can
distinguish between solid facts and dubious claims.--From publisher

In June of 1860 three-year-old Saville
Sway : the irresistible
pull of irrational behavior
Brafman, Ori.
A journey into the hidden psychological influences that derail our
decision-making. Why is it so difficult to end a doomed relationship? Why do we
listen to advice just because it came from someone "important"? Why
are we more likely to fall in love when there's danger involved? Here,
organizational thinker Ori Brafman and his brother, psychologist Rom Brafman,
answer these questions and more. Drawing on research from the fields of social
psychology, behavioral economics, and organizational behavior, Sway reveals
forces that influence every aspect of our personal and business lives,
including loss aversion, the diagnosis bias, and the "chameleon effect."
The Brafmans not only uncover rational explanations for a wide variety of
irrational behaviors, but also point readers toward ways to avoid succumbing to
their pull.--From publisher description.

The third Jesus : the Christ
we cannot ignore
Chopra, Deepak.
Who is Jesus Christ? Spiritual leader Chopra provides an answer that is both a
challenge to current systems of belief and a fresh perspective on what Jesus
can teach us all, regardless of our religious background. There is not one
Jesus, but three. First, the historical Jesus, who lived more than two thousand
years ago and whose teachings are the foundation of Christian thought. Next
there is the Son of God, who embodies an institutional religion with dogma, a
priesthood, and believers. And finally, the cosmic Christ, the spiritual guide
whose teaching embraces all humanity. He speaks to the individual who wants to
find God as a personal experience, to attain what some might call grace, or
enlightenment. Ultimately, Chopra argues, Christianity needs to overcome its
tendency to be exclusionary and refocus on being a religion of personal insight
and spiritual growth, so that Jesus can be seen for the universal teacher he
truly is.--From publisher description.
