Lucy Potter loves her mother, but she hates the fact that Nora is a medium. A down-to-earth girl, Lucy is exasperated by Nora's regular chatty conversations with dead relatives so, eager to get away from home, she joins the Women's Land Army. But work on the isolated East Anglian farm proves gruelling; the locals are hostile, and Lucy's problems follow her- first her caddish ex-fiance turns up to haunt her every step, then Nora appears on a spiritualist tour and becomes the toast of the country. Then Lucy meets Joe from the nearby RAF camp. At first he seems to be her polar opposite. But love liberates Lucy from her prejudices the way nothing else could and she begins to suspect she shares more of Nora's qualities than she bargained for . . .
In July 2012, aged thirty, Juliet Jacques underwent sex reassignment surgery-a process she chronicled with unflinching honesty in a serialised national newspaper column. Trans tells of her life to the present moment: a story of growing up, of defining yourself, and of the rapidly changing world of gender politics. Fresh from university, eager to escape a dead-end job and launch a career as a writer, she navigates the treacherous waters of a world where, even in the liberal and feminist media, transgender identities go unacknowledged, misunderstood or worse. Revealing, honest,humorous, and self-deprecating, Trans includes an epilogue with Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?
Nutritional medicine is really a specialty unto itself, and few physicians today are properly prepared to manage complex cases such as those that may present in the weight loss surgery patient. Unmonitored nutritional deficiencies can leave weight loss surgery patients vulnerable to both acute and chronic conditions with variably reversible to permanent physical damage. This book is intended to offer a practical manual for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for surgeons, primary care physicians, dietitians, and others caring for weight loss surgery patients. Clinicians using this book should ultimately find themselves better equipped to make educated decisions regarding nutritional management of their weight loss surgery patients.
