"This compelling and deeply personal memoir from WWE superstar Rebecca Quin-a.k.a. The Man, a.k.a. Becky Lynch-delves into her earliest wrestling days, her scrappy beginnings, and her meteoric rise to fame. By age seven, Rebecca Quin, now known in the ring as Becky Lynch, was already defying what the world expected of her. Raised in Dublin, Ireland in a devoutly Catholic family, Rebecca constantly invented new ways to make her mother worry-roughhousing with the neighborhood kids, hosting secret parties while her parents were away, enrolling in a warehouse wrestling school, nearly breaking her neck and almost kneecapping a WWE star before her own wrestling career even began-and she was always in search of a thrilling escape from the ordinary. Rebecca's deep love of wrestling as a child set her on an unlikely path. With few female wrestlers to look to for guidance, Rebecca pursued a wrestling career hoping to change the culture and move away from the antiquated disrespect so often directed at the elite female athletes that grace the ring. Even as a teenager, she knew that she would stop at nothing to earn a space among the greatest wrestlers of our time, and to pave a new path for female fighters. Culled from decades of journal entries, Rebecca's memoir offers a raw, personal, and honest depiction of the complex woman behind the character Rebecca Quin plays on TV"-- Provided by publisher.

"Just like humans, animals have unique routines to take care of themselves-from hygiene habits, to getting their vitamins, to treating wounds! Do hippos brush their teeth? NO!-not exactly. But they do have helpful fish friends that snack on the left over food bits and parasites stuck in hippos' mouths, leaving them squeaky clean as if they did own their own tooth brush. Do pheasants take baths? YES! They take "dust baths" which helps to get rid of sticky oil and parasites in their feathers. And do chimpanzees use hand wipes? SORT OF! Chimps use leaves to wipe away mud, sticky fruit juices, blood, and even poop! DO HIPPOS BRUSH THEIR TEETH? presents silly scenarios for 13 different animals practicing self-care-from axolotls using first aid kits to mend skateboarding wounds, to a giraffe using tissues to blow their nose-that will have kids laughing and learning. On the facing page of each spread, a more accurate rendering of the animal is accompanied by clear and concise text that explains the amazing ways animals work to survive - ways that are sometimes quite familiar! Etta Kaner's lively and inviting text is illustrated by delightfully funny and expressive digital art by Jenna Piechota"-- Provided by publisher.

Providing an inside view into the Chinese occupation of Tibet and the tenets of Bön, one of the world's oldest but least known religions, this book chronicles the true story of three Bön monks who heroically escaped occupied Tibet and went on to rebuild their culture through incredible resilience, determination, and passion. After taking his vows to become a Bön monk and completing a pilgrimage around 22,000-foot Mount Kailash, the holiest mountain in Tibet, Tenzin Namdak envisions a life of quiet contemplation at Menri, Bön's mother monastery. Instead, he finds himself fleeing for his life across the highest and most difficult terrain on the planet. After Tenzin's escape party is ambushed and he is severely wounded, Tenzin is taken to a concentration camp, where he overcomes his nearly fatal wound before making an arduous escape from Tibet over the daunting Himalayas. The other two monks, lifelong friends Samten Karmay and Sangye Tenzin, witness Tibet's capital explode in a violent insurrection against Chinese rule. Escaping to Nepal, they worry about the survival of the Bön religion and begin collecting scattered works of Bön scripture. A chance meeting with British scholar David Snellgrove brings the three monks together and dramatically changes their lives. Tenzin founds a Bön settlement in exile in India, Sangye is chosen as the thirty-third Menri Trizen, Bön's highest office, and together the three monks help rebuild the nearly extinct Bön religion. Aside from the escape of the Dalai Lama, no other escape from Tibet has been so consequential for so many.

One of our greatest novelists and thinkers presents a radiant, thrilling interpretation of the book of Genesis. For generations, the book of Genesis has been treated by scholars as a collection of documents, by various hands, expressing different factional interests, with borrowings from other ancient literatures that mark the text as derivative. In other words, academic interpretation of Genesis has centered on the question of its basic coherency, just as fundamentalist interpretation has centered on the question of the appropriateness of reading it as literally true. Both of these approaches preclude an appreciation of its greatness as literature, its rich articulation and exploration of themes that resonate through the whole of Scripture. Marilynne Robinson's Reading Genesisis a powerful consideration of the profound meanings and promise of God's enduring covenant with man. This magisterial book radiates gratitude for the constancy and benevolence of God's abiding faith in Creation.

Combining the soul-baring confessional of Brain on Fire and the addictive storytelling of The Queen's Gambit, a renowned puzzle creator's compulsively readable memoir and history of the crossword puzzle as an unexpected site of women's work and feminist protest. The indisputable "queen of crosswords," Anna Shechtman published her first New York Times puzzle at age nineteen, and later, spearheaded the The New Yorker's popular crossword section. Working with a medium often criticized as exclusionary, elitist, and out-of-touch, Anna is one of very few women in the field of puzzle making, where she strives to make the everyday diversion more diverse. In this fascinating work--part memoir, part cultural analysis--she excavates the hidden history of the crossword and the overlooked women who have been central to its creation and evolution, from the "Crossword Craze" of the 1920s to the role of digital technology today. As she tells the story of her own experience in the CrossWorld, she analyzes the roles assigned to women in American culture, the boxes they've been allowed to fill, and the ways that they've used puzzles to negotiate the constraints and play of desire under patriarchy. The result is an unforgettable and engrossing work of art, a loving and revealing homage to one of our most treasured, entertaining, and ultimately political pastimes.

"In 2019, the Co-op Refinery Complex of the Federated Co-op. of Canada locked out its workers, represented by Unifor Local 594, after negotiations failed. Underlying the bargaining issues was CRC's use of the transition to a "low carbon" future as the justification for cutting wages, demanding concessions on work conditions and reducing the workers' pension plan. This book focuses on the lockout to understand the prospects for a "just transition" away from Canada's dependence on oil and gas; as well as important worker rights--the right to strike and picket; the role of government during strikes and lockouts; occupational health and safety; the need for labour journalism; the state of pensions in collective bargaining; and the state of co-operatives and co-operative values in Canada. But unlike UNIFOR National's calls for a just transition for fossil fuel workers, the CRC lockout provides a case study in the rollback of collective bargaining, worker rights, cooperative spirit and environmental justice. Solidarity between unions and community movements will be absolutely necessary to win a just transition--corporations and governments are poised to make a transition that will be detrimental to workers and communities."-- Provided by publisher.
