Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What does it mean to truly live up to 'liberty and justice for all' Every day in classrooms across America, children recite these words. But for transgender people, these promises remain unfulfilled-not because of individual prejudice, but because of powerful institutional systems that enforce rigid gender conformity on all of us.Trans Lives is not another book about tolerance or acceptance. It's a rigorous examination of how heterosexism and cisnormativity-the assumptions that everyone is and should be straight and cisgender-operate through our medical systems, legal structures, schools, workplaces, and media to deny trans people their fundamental rights.Drawing on history, science, legal analysis, and the voices of trans activists themselves, this book reveals how colonial violence, medical gatekeeping, media sensationalism, and legislative attacks work together to maintain a gender system that constrains everyone. From the tragedy of David Reimer to the erasure of Indigenous gender diversity, from bathroom panic to sports bans, from employment discrimination to custody battles-each chapter exposes the mechanisms that produce trans oppression and offers concrete solutions for dismantling them.This is essential reading for straight allies, educators, policymakers, parents, and anyone who believes that our constitutional promises should mean something. Understanding trans liberation isn't just about trans people-it's about building a society where all of us are free from the violence of enforced gender conformity.The question isn't whether you support trans rights. The question is: what are you willing to do to dismantle the systems that deny them The time for institutional accountability is now.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Four pickleball buddies think their biggest problem is a bad line call and a hangover-right up until a black leather bag full of multi-million-dollar rare coins drops into their laps. This is not in the rulebook.Doug's trying to hold together a crumbling marriage and a very closeted double life. Michael's a high school chemistry teacher one bad decision away from a nervous breakdown. Tommy's a musician whose best-paying gig is losing at league night. Ray drives a city garbage truck, listens to philosophy podcasts, and is apparently the brains of this very stupid operation. And the City of Tucson itself is the star.Instead of doing the sensible thing-like calling the cops-they keep the loot, tell themselves they're 'lying low,' and go right back to league play. That's when the vultures start to circle: a German jewel thief with military posture and zero sense of humor, Russian heavies in a black Escalade, a pissed-off FBI agent who's way too smart for them, and a retirement community full of seniors who take pickleball, golf carts, and vigilante justice very seriously.As secret Grindr profiles surface, marriages implode, golf carts hit freeway speeds, and bullets start flying hard enough to make a grown man take a pickleball to the pickle, the four 'Soft Boys' keep doing what they do best: doubling down on terrible ideas and somehow stumbling forward.With a storyline that will appeal to Cohen Bros fans everywhere, The $15 Million Dink: A Pickleball Noir is what happens when a caper takes a wrong turn into a Tucson truck stop, gets directions from Marcus Aurelius, and ends up chasing a drop bag through the desert dawn with flip-flops, hangovers, and absolutely no plan.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On the waters of the Sea of Cortez and the cold Pacific beyond San Diego, one man sets out to learn how a sailboat really works.What he discovers is far more than wind and water.In Applied Physics and Other Affairs of the Heart, sailing becomes a lens through which to understand resilience, isolation, connection, and the invisible forces that move through every human life. Through storms, drifting currents, failing electrical systems, self-righting hulls, solar panels, hidden corrosion, and nights offshore beneath impossible stars, the physics of the sea gradually reveals the physics of being human.Part memoir, part philosophical exploration, and part practical meditation on the mechanics of sailing, this book weaves together: - fluid dynamics and emotional drift- lift and resistance- voltage and human connection- ballast and resilience- navigation and uncertainty- entropy and aging with vivid, deeply atmospheric storytelling rooted in real life aboard a small sailboat.At sea, every system matters. Every watt has a cost. Every hidden weakness eventually reveals itself.And every sailor eventually learns the same lesson: you cannot control the wind - only how you set your sails.Written with the reflective intelligence of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and the raw nautical honesty of Sailing Alone Around the World, Applied Physics and Other Affairs of the Heart is a lyrical, deeply human meditation on nature, engineering, solitude, and the difficult art of staying upright when life heels hard against you.…
