A pregnant woman loses frightening amounts of blood following a car accident it is a military nurse who synchronises the emergency department into immaculate order and focus.Ĭhristie makes a further discovery: that, time and again, it is patients and their families - including her own - who show exceptional strength in the most challenging times. A teen with stab wounds is treated by the critical-care team his school nurse visits and he drops the bravado A community mental-health nurse choreographs support for a man suffering from severe depression In The Courage to Care bestselling author Christie Watson reveals the remarkable extent of nurses' work: When we feel most alone, nurses remind us that we are not alone at all. We benefit from their expertise in our hospitals and beyond: in our schools, on our streets, in prisons, hospices and care homes. 'An inspiring book for our challenging times' Olivia Coleman So maybe the first thing that we want to talk about was how should we approach such a controversial book like this? Because there are a couple different ways to look at this and I want to make sure that we're reading this through the right set of lenses. Scott Rae: So Sean, really delighted to be able to talk about this just together with the two of us. She's a very respected historian, but has come out with a very controversial topic that we want to explore, we want to see, we want to look both at the merits and the demerits of the book and take an honest and we hope fair assessment of it to recognize this contributions, what she got right and where we would take issue with it. And has published in a variety of national publications as well. She's widely published, has written a number of other things having to do with women and the gospel. The author's Kristin Kobes Du Mez, she's a historian at Calvin University. And the subtitle I think is particularly revealing How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. The book is titled very provocatively Jesus and John Wayne. We don't have a particular guest in mind though, we are going to talk about a controversial and provocative new book that's getting a lot of traction in circles, not in evangelical Christian circles, but in broader cultural circles as well. Scott Rae: Hey, welcome to our conversation today with Sean and me. Shortly after the placental abruption, knowing that there’s something going on with the baby, she requests and receives an amniocentesis which reveals Trisomy 21. What follows is an extremely difficult pregnancy, including severe hyperemesis gravidarum (she goes, at one point, almost four days without eating or drinking anything) and placental abruption at 20 weeks. Despite her awareness that she is getting herself pregnant, she disbelieves it can be true. Beck, a Harvard graduate student, is married with a daughter when she becomes “consciously pregnant” with her son. But anyway, the blurbs and jacket cover are misleading, so I’m adding to the reviews that attempt to give a clearer picture of what is going on in this book.Įxpecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic is a pregnancy memoir. Beck, Ph.D., shallow as hell, narcissist above all. And I really don’t even want to write much of anything because all my criticisms make me think I am writing just like Martha N. I am going to have a tough time writing this review. Expecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic by Martha N. Strachan allows the readers to learn about Paget and his feelings for her. It is at this point when Strachan is left to manage the funeral business and will arrangements that we are introduced to Macfadden's beneficiary and our heroine, Jean Paget.Īs Strachan gets to know his young client, he grows increasingly fond of her and consequently finds his relationship with her less of a chore and much more of an intriguing friendship. One new client, Douglas Macfadden, is unremarkable and remains one of many names to sit in the firm's filing cabinet over the next twenty years until the announcement of his death. As a responsible member of the team, Strachan dutifully attends to each of his new clients and absorbs them into his own affairs. Years before the story begins, the death of a partner in the firm means that Strachan has to inherit several clients. This enjoyable story is told from the point of view of a Mr Noel Strachan, an aging senior partner in a London firm of solicitors. And African-Americans allowed the vote still proved loyal Republicans all the way until the New Deal, however little the party did for them. The gathering was a first not because McKinley was notably enlightened, but because he campaigned aggressively enough for the nomination that he took such meetings at all. Rove paints McKinley as a racial moderate, with his principal evidence, beyond vague claims of personal rectitude, a meeting McKinley held with African-Americans at a church in Savannah, Georgia, in March 1896. McKinley also compiled the worst racial record of any Republican president who had yet held office. McKinley reached into the nation’s deepest pockets and, with the proceeds, won the immigrant vote and prevailed. Karl Rove, in his new propaganda tract disguised as a stocking stuffer ("The Triumph of William McKinley: Why the Election of 1896 Still Matters"), gives Republicans a model for winning a durable national majority: William McKinley, the stolid Ohioan who in 1896 repulsed the threat of Populism and secured for the Republican Party a control over national politics broken only by the New Deal. Lots of readers will certainly have essentially matured with Fitz and also the Fool, some others might have aged with them. In Fool’s Assassin we’re starting a third trilogy with characters that initially pertained to the web page 19 years earlier. Hobb doesn’t rely on shock or purple prose, she utilizes the underrated power in close monitoring as well as an intimate knowledge of her subject. Robin Hobb – Fool’s Assassin Audiobook Free. No tale is going to operate in the long term unless the characters hold you, unless you care what happens to them. Hobb’s specific mastery remains in personalities as well as the partnerships in between them. I have on event really felt rather pleased with my writing, however reviewing Hobb’s work always makes me realise I’ve got a long way to go. Reading Robin Hobb makes me feel like I’m back in college … or it would certainly do if that were where I discovered to create fiction.

And intersectional feminism and the #MeToo movement have made the ideas in “Lean In” seem naïve at best.įacebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg speaks with AEI president Arthur C. Facebook, tarnished by a series of scandals as well as major questions about its business model, has gone from being seen as Silicon Valley golden child to dystopian Big Brother. The book fit in well with her work at Facebook, capturing the sense of bootstrapping optimism that dominated US corporate and political culture during the Obama years.Ī decade later, Sandberg’s reputation has lost some of the luster it acquired in those heady days when “Lean In” debuted at the top of the best-seller lists. Sandberg, who announced on Wednesday that she would be stepping down as COO of Meta, Facebook’s parent company, packaged her corporate-feminist philosophy into the 2013 book “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead,” which she co-authored with writer Nell Scovell. She had recently begun to speak about the challenges women faced in the corporate world, and had landed on a solution: Women needed to seize more leadership opportunities and advocate more forcefully for themselves, an act she called “leaning in.” While she reveled in the company’s success, it was not the only project she cared about.
