    The first biography of one of the most controversial and fascinating women of the twentieth century.   Beautiful, brilliant, and captivating, Madame Chiang Kai-shek seized unprecedented power during China’s long and violent civil war. She passionately argued against Chinese Communism in the international arena and influenced decades of Sino-American relations and modern Chinese history. Raised in one of China’s most powerful families and educated at Wellesley College, Soong Mayling went on to become wife, chief adviser, interpreter, and propagandist to Nationalist leader Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. She sparred with international leaders like Churchill and Roosevelt, and impressed Westerners and Chinese alike with her acumen, charm, and glamour. But she was also decried as a manipulative Dragon Lady,” and despised for living in American-style splendor while Chinese citizens suffered under her husband’s brutal oppression. The result of years of extensive research in the United States and abroad, and written with access to previously classified CIA and diplomatic files, Madame Chiang Kai-shek objectively evaluates one of the most powerful and fascinating women of the twentieth century.   “Li brilliantly analyzes a fearless and profoundly conflicted woman of extraordinary force.” —Booklist

    According to cosmologist Swimme, science, humanity, and the natural world have all suffered from a myopic fragmentation of scientific knowledge. Yet some voices in physics today are beginning to echo the wonder and mystery of ancient mystical intuitions, and to present a more unified view of the nature and history of the world.

    A New York Times Notable Book for 2011 Since the 1960s, ideas  developed during the civil rights movement have been astonishingly  successful in fighting overt discrimina­tion and prejudice. But how  successful are they at combating the whole spectrum of social  injustice-including conditions that aren't directly caused by bigotry?  How do they stand up to segregation, for instance-a legacy of racism,  but not the direct result of ongoing discrimina­tion? It's tempting to  believe that civil rights litigation can combat these social ills as  efficiently as it has fought blatant discrimination. In Rights Gone Wrong, Richard Thompson Ford, author of the New York Times Notable Book The Race Card,  argues that this is seldom the case. Civil rights do too much and not  enough: opportunists use them to get a competitive edge in schools and  job markets, while special-interest groups use them to demand special  privileges. Extremists on both the left and the right have hijacked  civil rights for personal advantage. Worst of all, their theatrics have  drawn attention away from more seri­ous social injustices. Ford,  a professor of law at Stanford University, shows us the many ways in  which civil rights can go terribly wrong. He examines newsworthy  lawsuits with shrewdness and humor, proving that the distinction between  civil rights and personal entitlements is often anything but clear.  Finally, he reveals how many of today's social injustices actually can't be  remedied by civil rights law, and demands more creative and nuanced  solutions. In order to live up to the legacy of the civil rights  movement, we must renew our commitment to civil rights, and move beyond  them.

    How sex is rewiring your brain—for good and for bad What does a three-pound brain have to do with one’s sex life? A lot, actually. Hooked is about what’s happening to your brain when you’re having sex. With scientific data put in layman’s terms, this book demonstrates that: Sexual activity releases chemicals in the brain, creating emotional bonds between partners. This is great news for marriages! Once formed, however, breaking these bonds can have damaging effects on the brain such as depression and difficulty bonding with someone else in the future. The continual forming and breaking of these bonds can have permanent effects on a person’s brain. PLUS! This updated edition also includes a brand new chapter about the effects of pornography on the brain. All this data about bonding, sex, and pornography has important implications in a casual sex culture. Regardless of what we wish were true, the facts tell us “safe sex” isn't as safe as it seems. Learn about your brain, the positive effects of sex within permanently committed relationships, and how you can protect yourself (especially your brain) from the dangers of casual sex.
