  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  “A People's History of the United States” by Howard Zinn offers a radical reinterpretation of American history, focusing on the experiences of marginalized groups rather than traditional political leaders. Zinn highlights the struggles and resistance of Native Americans, African Americans, women, and the working class throughout U.S. history. The book challenges the mainstream narrative of American exceptionalism, revealing how power, inequality, and oppression shaped the nation's development. Zinn emphasizes class struggle, colonialism, and systemic racism, aiming to provide a more inclusive and honest account of American history, often overlooked in traditional historical texts.

  Have you ever wondered, Why am I so negative? or Why is my life so chaotic? Whether or not your parent was ever formally diagnosed with depression, you've probably always known there was something different about your upbringing. And even though you've grown up and moved on, you may still feel the after-effects of living with your parent's illness. 
   
   
   
  In Children of the Depressed, a depression expert helps adult children understand and overcome common problems that stem from growing up with a depressed parent, such as poor communication skills and negative self-talk. Using skills and practices rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), you will learn to shed the old dynamics and ways of thinking that have been weighing you down and keeping you from enjoying healthy relationships and the life you deserve. 
   
   
   
  Most books on depression only focus on getting help for the depressed person. This book is written for you, the adult child of parents with who have struggled with depression. By identifying and recognizing the feelings you experienced at a young age, you will start laying the groundwork for a happier and healthier life—socially, physically, emotionally, and psychologically.

  Making Sense of Intersex -...

  Ellen K. Feder

  • 0

  A philosopher offers a framework for the treatment of intersex children, and a moral argument for responsibility to them and their families. 
   
  Putting the ethical tools of philosophy to work, Ellen K. Feder seeks to clarify how we should understand “the problem” of intersex. Adults often report that medical interventions they underwent as children to “correct” atypical sex anatomies caused them physical and psychological harm. Proposing a philosophical framework for the treatment of children with intersex conditions—one that acknowledges the intertwined identities of parents, children, and their doctors—Feder presents a persuasive moral argument for collective responsibility to these children and their families. 
   
  “In a voice both urgent and nuanced, Feder squarely faces the complexities that accompany the care of people with atypical sex anatomies in medical science. . . . Rich with cross-discipline potential, Feder’s engaging argument should provide a new approach for doctors and parents caring for children with atypical sex anatomy.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review 
   
  “Feder’s book is a welcome injection of new ideas into feminist scholarship on intersex, post-Consensus Statement era.” —Women’s Review of Books 
   
  “Is a work of philosophy capable of bringing insightful new perspectives or illuminating and forceful arguments to an urgent social matter so as truly to effect a felt change in the lives of people concerned by it? Feder’s book is capable of this effect. As such, it takes the risk of calling forth a new public, or a new readership, and so is a work whose appeal could well be ahead of its time. But its time should be here.” —International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 
   
  “Making Sense of Intersex significantly enhances our understanding of intersex and the ethical issues involved in medical practice more generally.” —Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal
