I found the tales to be inspirational, deeply moving and truly of a healing nature. They seem to bring a sense of peace to the reader. Debra A. Hendron, M.Div., CASAC As recently as a few hundred years ago, we lived in close-knit communities and our lives revolved around our extended family and the changing of the seasons. Our modern life gives us many more options, but it also creates an alienation that leaves us yearning for meaning and connection. The Old Woman Tales, by Miriam Jacobs is a collection of luminous short stories set in a mythic past. As we follow the Old Woman on her travels, she helps us to explore the journey of our own life, and gives us a model to help us navigate it with wisdom, humor and grace. These tales, told with approachable simplicity, offer insights about identity, self respect, making our dreams come true, losses, aging with grace, sacrifice, honoring our calling, overcoming adverse circumstances, forgiveness, gratitude and so much more. They soothe the aching heart and celebrate and honor the resilient beauty of spirit. This book also comes with an invitation to write your own Old Woman story and share your wisdom with others on theoldwomantales.com
Daniels and Worthingham's Muscle Testing, First South Asia Edition E Book

Through courtroom dramas from 1865 to 1920 - of men forced to jump from moving cars when trainmen refused to stop, of women emotionally wrecked from the trauma of nearly missing a platform or street, and women barred from first class ladies' cars because of the color of their skin - Barbara Welke offers a dramatic reconsideration of the critical role railroads, and streetcars, played in transforming the conditions of individual liberty at the dawn of the twentieth century. The three-part narrative, focusing on the law of accidental injury, nervous shock, and racial segregation in public transit, captures Americans' journey from a cultural and legal ethos celebrating manly independence and autonomy to one that recognized and sought to protect the individual against the dangers of modern life. Gender and race become central to the transformation charted here, as much as the forces of corporate power, modern technology and urban space.
