Eating in the Light of the Moon

How Women Can Transform Their Relationship with Food Through Myths, Metaphors, and Storytelling

Teaches women to free themselves from eating disorders by finding the metaphors hidden in their own life stories

Anita Johnston,

Our minds can play all kinds of tricks on us, but out bodies never lie. If we are
listening only to the promptings of our minds and not listening to the messages
from our bodies, we can be easily tricked into thinking that we are hungry for food
when it is something else we desire. And so we eat and we eat. Before we know
it, the plate is empty, the pot scraped clean, and we are left feeling dissatisfied
and angry at ourselves for having been so foolish. The ability to distinguish

China's Workers Under Assault

The Exploitation of Labor in a Globalizing Economy

This important book contains case studies with substantive analysis of Chinese workers in a variety of settings: state enterprises, urban collectives, township and village enterprises, domestic private enterprises, and foreign funded enterprises. The cases include urban workers migrant workers from the countryside, and workers who are sent to work outside of China. The analytical framework for these case studies lays out why labor rights violations have been occurring in China and highlights the contex in which these violations operate and the extent to which these selected cases are not isolated incidents. Moreover, the dilemma of Chinese workers is put into international perspective: the context of the international labor market, the setting of competitive minimum wages in Asia, and the concern for Chinese workers' rights taken up by the International Labor Organization (ILO). This book debunks the conventional wisdom that Chinese workers are thriving because the Chinese economy is booming. Indeed the wage structures of these enterprises of different ownership types contribute to widening income disparities in China. The book uncovers what exactly overseas Chinese entrepreneurship (Taiwan and Hong Kong), means at the factory level. And it calls for a new approach to scrutinizing the phenomena of the so-called Chinese economic miracle and it's repercussions on other economies and labor markets.

Anita Chan,

These are some of the crucial questions which lie behind the figures of Table 4.3,
questions to which we shall return to in Chapter 5. A Larger Universe:
Entitlements and Transfer Spending At this point we need to broaden our
analysis to include all transfer spending, including such spending that is
characterized as "entitlements." The reason is that we cannot look at SOCIAL
SECURITY AND THE COPERNICAN QUESTION 93 A Larger Universe:
Entitlements and Transfer Spending.

Beyond Myself

The Farm Girl and the African Chief

When author Anita Katherine Dennis walked into the anthropology class during her sophomore year at Ohio University in 1964, she was sure the class would prove interesting. She had no idea how right she would be. In Beyond Myself, she narrates the love story that developed between her and her anthropology professor, Dr. Ben Dennis, an African tribal chief. In this memoir, she shares how God sustained her during her interracial, cross-cultural marriage—especially as she played the role of chief’s wife in a remote village in Liberia, West Africa. Her life was full of extremes. She met the president of Liberia in the Executive Mansion—and slept in a mud hut. She visited European capitals—and lived in a remote African village. She flew on transatlantic flights—and was carried through the high forest in a chief’s hammock. Anita shares her struggles as she is accepted into the Mende tribe and lived in Vahun with an off and on kerosene fridge, swarming termites on the screens, a cyclone barely missing the house, and pungent elephant meat delivered in the middle of the night. Beyond Myself offers an example of West meets Africa personified. Anita tells how life with Ben was more than a marriage. It was an education and adventure wrapped into one. Ben allowed Anita to escape her narrow cultural confines and embark on a journey from farm girl to global citizen, with plenty of missteps throughout. For more information visit: www.anitakdennis.com. From the Kirkus Review: "....Dennis led a life filled with remarkable events and translated them into an entertaining memoir....overall she proves to be a storyteller with a keen eye for detail and fully re-creates the complexities of her marriage and the exciting challenges she faced in Africa. A cleareyed memoir about navigating fraught relationships and other cultures."

Anita Katherine Dennis,

Our guest room featured a king-size bed with plenty of room for Bengie to lie
between us. The dark brown floor-to-ceiling drapes and droning window air
conditioner were conducive for sleeping. On our way to dinner, Sandy spotted a
tiny brown lizard on the hallway floor and let out a scream. The cook from the
Bassa tribe walked over, took a look, and said with a grin, “That's a sign of good
luck.” We ate Liberian dishes in the formal dining room: Jollof rice, a

Strange Fits Of Passion

A young and successful journalist working in New York, Maureen English appears to have the perfect life and family. But Maureen's husband, a highly respected fellow reporter, has in private a tendency towards alcohol and violent abuse. When the situation at home becomes intolerable, Maureen takes her baby daughter and flees. In a Maine fishing town she assumes a new identity and spends six weeks battling sub-zero temperatures, the intrusive glare of the townsfolk - and her fears of discovery. Against the force of the wintry sea- the cawing of the gulls, the lobstermen hauling their catch, the press of waves against the rocks - Maureen settles into the rhythms of a new life. Two married men pursue her, and one captures her heart. But this calming respite ends suddenly, leaving in its wake a murder, a rape charge, a suicide and a helpless child. Nearly nineteen years later, a cache of documents regarding Maureen English - abused, accused and imprisoned - are given to her daughter by the journalist who made her name reporting the case. The truth should lie within them, but the papers raise far more questions than they answer...

Anita Mills,

“Lie with me—lie with me now,” he'd begged as his hands sought to unlace the
sides of her gown. Well, she was no leman to be taken and left —nay, she was
Catherine of the Condes, and she demanded more than a quick tumble in some
dark and dank storehouse. Her face still burned with the humiliation of what he'd
expected. Aye, she'd gone willingly enough with him, she admitted, but she had
not thought he meant to lay her like a common wench. “You've had a man before,

An edge e of G is a bridge ofG if and only ife does not lie on any cycle of G. Proof.
Let e be a bridge of G. Suppose u, v are the end vertices of e and e does lie on a
cycle, say C : u, v,w, . . . , x, u. The graph G — e contains a u—v path say u, x, . . . ,
w, v and hence u is connected to v. We have to prove that G — e is connected.
Let x and y be any two vertices of G — e. To prove G — e contains an x-y path.
Since G is connected, there is an x-y path P in G. Now, there are two possibilities:

seen before on the North American continent. Despite their many differences, the
former colonies, at best a loose confederation of states that each promoted its
own regional and secular interests, began to realize that they were now all

need to establish a national culture, one that could immortalize, whether it would
