Paperback. Condition: Good. Poetry. Disability Studies. Politics. In Sylvia Byrne Pollack's debut collection, RISKING IT, the titular poem asks how to prepare for death.

Through personae, the Deaf Woman and Letitia, she confronts hearing loss and mental illness with a researcher's precision and poet s playfulness. RISKING IT is an invitation to rip open the cocoon and emerge.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Professor Maxine Sayers once found her personal and professional life so fulfilling that she founded the Institute of Future Studies, a program dedicated to studying the effects of technology on our culture and finding ways to prolong human life. But when her beloved husband dies, she is so devastated she can barely get out of bed. To make matters worse, her son, Zach, has abruptly quit his job in Silicon Valley and been out of contact for seven months. Maxine is jolted from her grief by her sudden suspicion that a favorite former student (and a former close friend of her son) might be a terrorist called the Technobomber and that Zach might either be involved in or become a victim of this extremist?s bombing. Deserting her teaching responsibilities, her ailing mother, and an appealing suitor, Maxine feels compelled to set out and search for her son in order to warn and protect him, even as she knows she should report her suspicions to the FBI to prevent greater carnage.Inspired by the true story of the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, and his studies at the University of Michigan, The Professor of Immortality is a gripping, heartfelt look at the way we might or might not choose to respond to recent advances in science and technology, that, despite their positive impact, also threaten to destroy our environment, our privacy, our ability to connect with nature, and our sense of life?s authentic meaning and purpose.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Based on William Pollack's groundbreaking research at Harvard Medical School over two decades, Real Boys explores this generation's silent crisis: why many boys are sad, lonely, and confused although they may appear tough, cheerful, and confident.

Only when we understand what boys are really like, says Pollack, can we help them develop more self-confidence and the emotional savvy they need to deal with issues such as depression, love and sexuality, drugs and alcohol, divorce, and violence.Just as Reviving Ophelia opened our eyes to the challenges faced by adolescent girls, Real Boys helps us hear and respond to the needs of growing boys. --Judith Jordan, Ph.D., Harvard Medical SchoolFeaturing a new preface by the author on how parents can make a difference.…
