This important book “weaves lyrical storytelling and fascinating research into a compelling narrative” (San Francisco Chronicle) to look at dietary differences along class lines and nutritional disparities in America, illuminating exactly how inequality starts on the dinner plate. Inequality in America manifests in many ways, but perhaps nowhere more than in how we eat. From her years of field research, sociologist and ethnographer Priya Fielding-Singh brings us into the kitchens of dozens of families from varied educational, economic, and ethnoracial backgrounds to explore how—and why—we eat the way we do. We get to know four families intimately: the Bakers, a Black family living be...

Untrue
A jaw-dropping re-evaluation of everything we thought we knew about men, women, and sex. Men are biologically programmed to want sex with lots of different women, whereas women are designed to stay true to one person, right? Wrong. In Untrue, New York Times -bestselling author Wednesday Martin reveals that we are just at the beginning of understanding women’s sexuality properly. From New York to Namibia to a conference of sex researchers in Montreal, she takes us on a journey to understand women who refuse monogamy, posing questions about why we became sexually exclusive in the first place. Martin attends all-female sex parties where married straight women fulfill their fantasies; considers contemporary societies where women take many lovers; analyses how the invention of the plough suppressed female autonomy; and presents fascinating research about why women stray (their motivations are not so different from men’s). Frank and myth busting, Untrue validates the desires of women everywhere, including the ‘silent majority’ in committed relationships who struggle with staying faithful.
Emotional Inheritance
This book is about those family secrets that belong not only to us, but to our parents, grandparents, and other loved ones, and about the ways these impact our lives - keeping us from living to our full potential, creating gaps between what we want for ourselves and what we are able to have, and haunting us like ghosts. In the last decade, contemporary psychoanalysis and empirical research have expanded the literature on epigenetics and what is called "intergenerational transmission of trauma", referring to the way trauma is transmitted from generation to generation and held in our minds and bodies, sometimes in uncanny ways. The people we love and those who raised us live inside us: we experience their emotional pain, we dream their memories, and these things shape our lives in ways that we don't always recognise. Emotional Inheritance describes the many ways in which we can identify the ghosts of the past that hold us back and interfere with our lives. For it is only by following the traces that those ghosts leave, and identifying the links between our life struggles and the emotional inheritance we carry, that we can change our destiny.
