  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  In "Rising Strong" by Brené Brown, the author explores the process of getting back on our feet after a fall, emphasizing that vulnerability is the only path to more love, belonging, and joy. She uses research and storytelling to unpack what she has learned about navigating discomfort and hurt. The book presents a theory, grounded in data, that explains the social process of rising after falling, focusing on the choices that are available during difficult moments and their consequences. Brown explores the idea that storytelling and creativity are deeply human tools that can help us integrate our experiences and make us whole. The author also emphasizes the importance of owning our stories of struggle and embracing the fact that we are all both brave and brokenhearted. The book argues that rising strong is a spiritual practice that involves recognizing our interconnectedness and seeking perspective, meaning, and purpose in our lives. The narrative examines how we make up stories when we are hurt and offers guidance on how to engage with these stories. Ultimately, "Rising Strong" is about writing a new, braver ending to our stories and transforming how we engage with the world.

  The fascinating—and often secret—history of the body's most fascinating system: the gut. 
   
   
   
  The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. 
   
   
   
  Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a diverse cast of characters including Edwardian body builders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ. 
   
   
   
  Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?

  Invitation to Law and Society...

  Kitty Calavita

  Law and society is a rapidly growing field that turns the conventional view of law as mythical abstraction on its head. Kitty Calavita brilliantly brings to life the ways in which law is found not only in statutes and courtrooms but in our institutions and interactions, while inviting readers into conversations that introduce the field’s dominant themes and most lively disagreements. Deftly interweaving scholarship with familiar examples, Calavita shows how scholars in the discipline are collectively engaged in a subversive exposé of law’s public mythology. While surveying prominent issues and distinctive approaches to both law as it is written and actual legal practices, as well as the law’s potential as a tool for social change, this volume provides a view of law that is more real but just as compelling as its mythic counterpart.With this second edition of Invitation to Law and Society, Calavita brings up to date what is arguably the leading introduction to this exciting, evolving field of inquiry and adds a new chapter on the growing law and cultural studies movement.

  The Sociology of Health and...

  The sociology of health and illness examines how social factors influence health, disease, and healthcare systems. It goes beyond biological explanations to explore the ways in which cultural norms, economic conditions, and social structures shape individual and public health. Health is not merely a biological state but a socially constructed phenomenon influenced by historical, political, and economic contexts. Sociologists study patterns of illness and healthcare disparities to understand how social inequalities impact well-being. 
  One of the key concepts in the sociology of health is the social construction of illness. Different societies define and interpret illness in unique ways, often influenced by cultural beliefs and values. What is considered a disease in one culture may not be viewed the same way in another. For example, mental health conditions have been perceived and treated differently across societies and time periods, often reflecting broader social attitudes rather than purely medical realities. Additionally, the classification of illnesses can change, as seen in the evolving definitions of conditions like ADHD, autism, and even obesity. 
  Another important theme is the relationship between health and social structures. Factors such as socioeconomic status, education, occupation, and race play a significant role in determining health outcomes. People from lower-income backgrounds often have limited access to healthcare, nutritious food, and safe living environments, leading to poorer health compared to wealthier populations. Similarly, marginalized groups may experience discrimination in healthcare settings, affecting the quality of care they receive. Understanding these patterns helps sociologists identify systemic issues that contribute to health disparities.
