I Am My Mother's Daughter - Dara Kurtz - Bog - Mandel Vilar Press - Plusbog.dk

I Am My Mother's Daughter - Dara Kurtz - Bog - Mandel Vilar Press - Plusbog.dk

 For most of her adult life, Dara Kurtz kept a Ziploc bag of letters written by her mother who passed away from cancer when she was twenty-eight years old. The bag also included other letters written by her long-departed grandmothers. These letters gave Dara a glimpse into their lives and personalities at the time the letters were written. They offered her so much wisdom and relevance and taught her so many beautiful, life lessons that Dara decided to share their story, the incredible love between Jewish mothers and daughters, and the wisdom passed on from one generation to the next. As a mother, Dara has passed down these family traditions and wisdom to her two daughters, who now carry on the legacy contained in the Ziploc bag bridging the generations of women in their family. She unexpected discovered that this is best done through the lens of love and through the hand-written word.

Tolstoy Killed Anna Karenina - Dara Barrois Dixon - Bog - Wave Books - Plusbog.dk

With the same tender honesty found in all of Dara Barrois/Dixon''s poetry (née Dara Wier), the poems in Tolstoy Killed Anna Karenina are curious about the world we inhabit and the worlds we create.

Age Is Just a Number - Dara Torres - Bog - Broadway Books (A Division of Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Inc) - Plusbog.dk

Age Is Just a Number - Dara Torres - Bog - Broadway Books (A Division of Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Inc) - Plusbog.dk

From legendary Olympic gold medalist Dara Torres comes a motivational, inspirational memoir about staying fit, aging gracefully, and pursuing your dreams. Dara Torres captured the hearts and minds of Americans of all ages when she launched her Olympic comeback as a new mother at the age of forty-one—years after she had retired from competitive swimming and eight years since her last Olympics. When she took three silver medals in Beijing—including a heartbreaking .01-second finish behind the gold medalist in the women’s 50-meter freestyle—America loved her all the more for her astonishing achievement and her good-natured acceptance of the results.Now, in Age Is Just a Number, Dara reveals how the dream of an Olympic comeback first came to her—when she was months into her first, hard-won pregnancy. With humor and candor, Dara recounts how she returned to serious training—while nursing her infant daughter and contending with her beloved father’s long battle with cancer. Dara talks frankly about diving back in for this comeback; about being an older athlete in a younger athletes’ game; about competition, doubt, and belief; about working through pain and uncertainty; and finally—about seizing the moment and, most important, never giving up. A truly self-made legend, her story will resonate with women of all ages—and with anyone daring to entertain a seemingly impossible dream.

Vi har brug for at komme tæt på naturen – og McAnulty bringer os ét skridt nærmere, så man selv får lyst til at drage ud i det vilde. Dara McAnulty er født i Nordirland i 2004. Han fik sit gennembrud med bogen her, der er blevet oversat til 18 sprog og har fået bestsellerstatus verden over.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Syria - Dara (deakin University Conduit - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Muslim Brotherhood in Syria - Dara (deakin University Conduit - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Having played a role in every iteration of Syrian politics since the country gained independence in 1946, the Muslim Brotherhood were the most prominent opposition group in Syria on the eve of the 2011 uprising. But when unrest broke out in March 2011, few Brotherhood flags and slogans were to be found within the burgeoning protest movement. Drawing on extensive primary research including interviews with Brotherhood members, Dara Conduit looks to the group''s history to understand why it failed to capitalise on this advantage as the conflict unfolded, addressing significant gaps in accounts of the group''s past to assess whether its reputation for violence and dogmatism is justified. In doing so, Conduit reveals a party that was neither as violent nor as undemocratic as expected, but whose potential to stage a long-awaited comeback was hampered by the shadow of its own history.

A Sheepdog Named Oscar - Dara Waldron - Bog - DoppelHouse Press - Plusbog.dk

A Sheepdog Named Oscar - Dara Waldron - Bog - DoppelHouse Press - Plusbog.dk

Grieving his father’s sudden passing, a film scholar and father of two boys finds solace in the picturesque idyll of Ireland's East Clare region, where he discovers and adopts an enigmatic border collie from an abandoned farm. What is the essence of a sheepdog? As much a part of Ireland’s traditional and rural life as the countryside itself, working animals are known to be incredibly smart, loyal, with distinct personalities. Dara Waldron’s memoir about the wandering border collie he adopted the year after his father died is both an animal rescue story and a deep reflection on place, with a happy ending. To make a family pet of Oscar, Waldron enacts the daily ritual of walking the rugged hills and rivers of Ireland's woodlands in its intemperate weather—rain, sleet, and snow. Oscar’s instinct, as a sheepdog, is to run away and return to his handler. Testing the limits of Waldron’s tolerance and trying his fragile trust, days with Oscar are defined by the author's attempts to process his grief. Slowly it seeps into his consciousness: Oscar is asking him to understand a creature who lives for another, who will always return. In lyrical description of Ireland's mystical landscape, along with meditations on art, philosophy, and animal rights, this exquisitely wrought memoir about one man and his dog experiencing a symbiotic calling foregrounds the healing terrain of nature, and the true purpose and breadth of life. Illustrated throughout with black and white stills in a cinema verité style.

Rape during Civil War - Dara Kay Cohen - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Rape during Civil War - Dara Kay Cohen - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Rape is common during wartime, but even within the context of the same war, some armed groups perpetrate rape on a massive scale while others never do. In Rape during Civil War Dara Kay Cohen examines variation in the severity and perpetrators of rape using an original dataset of reported rape during all major civil wars from 1980 to 2012. Cohen also conducted extensive fieldwork, including interviews with perpetrators of wartime rape, in three postconflict counties, finding that rape was widespread in the civil wars of the Sierra Leone and Timor-Leste but was far less common during El Salvador''s civil war.Cohen argues that armed groups that recruit their fighters through the random abduction of strangers use rape—and especially gang rape—to create bonds of loyalty and trust between soldiers. The statistical evidence confirms that armed groups that recruit using abduction are more likely to perpetrate rape than are groups that use voluntary methods, even controlling for other confounding factors. Important findings from the fieldwork—across cases—include that rape, even when it occurs on a massive scale, rarely seems to be directly ordered. Instead, former fighters describe participating in rape as a violent socialization practice that served to cut ties with fighters’ past lives and to signal their commitment to their new groups. Results from the book lay the groundwork for the systematic analysis of an understudied form of civilian abuse. The book will also be useful to policymakers and organizations seeking to understand and to mitigate the horrors of wartime rape.

Woman between Two Kingdoms - Leslie Castro Woodhouse - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Woman between Two Kingdoms - Leslie Castro Woodhouse - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Woman between Two Kingdoms explores the story of Dara Rasami, one of 153 wives of King Chulalongkorn of Siam during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Born in a kingdom near Siam called Lan Na, Dara served as both hostage and diplomat for her family and nation. Thought of as a harem by the West, Siam''s Inner Palace actually formed a nexus between the domestic and the political. Dara''s role as an ethnic Other among the royal concubines assisted the Siamese in both consolidating the kingdom''s territory and building a local version of Europe''s hierarchy of civilizations. Dara Rasami''s story provides a fresh perspective on both the sociopolitical roles played by Siamese palace women, and Siam''s response to the intense imperialist pressures it faced in the late nineteenth century. Thanks to generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, through The Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

When Bad Things Happen to Privileged People - Prof. Dara Z. Strolovitch - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

When Bad Things Happen to Privileged People - Prof. Dara Z. Strolovitch - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

Named one of Choice's "Outstanding Academic Titles of 2024" A deep and thought-provoking examination of crisis politics and their implications for power and marginalization in the United States. From the climate crisis to the opioid crisis to the Coronavirus crisis, the language of crisis is everywhere around us and ubiquitous in contemporary American politics and policymaking. But for every problem that political actors describe as a crisis, there are myriad other equally serious ones that are not described in this way. Why has the term crisis been associated with some problems but not others? What has crisis come to mean, and what work does it do? In When Bad Things Happen to Privileged People, Dara Z. Strolovitch brings a critical eye to the taken-for-granted political vernacular of crisis. Using systematic analyses to trace the evolution of the use of the term crisis by both political elites and outsiders, Strolovitch unpacks the idea of “crisis” in contemporary politics and demonstrates that crisis is itself an operation of politics. She shows that racial justice activists innovated the language of crisis in an effort to transform racism from something understood as natural and intractable and to cast it instead as a policy problem that could be remedied. Dominant political actors later seized on the language of crisis to compel the use of state power, but often in ways that compounded rather than alleviated inequality and injustice. In this eye-opening and important book, Strolovitch demonstrates that understanding crisis politics is key to understanding the politics of racial, gender, and class inequalities in the early twenty-first century.
