The editors have contributed a great deal to the literature on the Titanic. Since the crew were out of jobs as soon as the vessel sank, they were fully dependent on the "relief fund" established by the community for their support. Throughout, the editors, both local historians, let the survivors tell their own stories and then tie them together with short commentaries. The work features numerous photographs, letters, and personal stories from survivors, many previously unpublished, some reprinted from long out-of-print sources. It is also the first book to include substantial accounts from female survivors and those travelling third class.

For up to a 4 :l molar ratio of water to sulfuric acid, the amide acidity scale, HA, and the H, scale are simply related by ifA = II, - 2 log a, where oW is the activity of water. This approach has been successfully applied to benzamide and the naphthamidcs. The well-known failure of the Hammett H, function to describe the proto- tropic reaction isotherms of aromatic carboxamides can be corrected by taking account of the hydration requirements of the prototropic reactions of the carboxamides relative to the hydration requirements of the dissociations of the primary amines used as indica- tors to establish the H, scale.

When the novel started out set in a rural village of the kind that might appear in countless generic pseudo-medieval fantasy stories, I started to prepare myself for disappointment. I had never heard of Sharon Shinn, much less read any of her works. This book was a finalist for the 2011 Mythopoeic Awards, which is why I picked it up in the first place. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against-and show us how to fight back. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. How can you “love your body” when every magazine cover has ten diet tips for becoming “your best self”? How do you “lean in” at work when you’re already operating at 110 percent and aren’t recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a sexist world that is constantly telling you you’re too fat, too needy, too noisy, and too selfish? What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things-and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. Many women in America have experienced it. This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men-and provides a simple, science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions, and live a more joyful life.īurnout. “This book is a gift!
