"Everyone remembers the story. Nobody knows the truth.
Flight 417 was meant to be a routine journey. Then it disappeared.
Trapped in the snow, a group of strangers is forced into an unthinkable decision. One that will decide who is fed, who is feared, and who will never leave the mountain.
But as hope fades and food runs out, alliances turn savage and hunger becomes a language of its own.
Months later, the wreckage was found deep in the Alaskan wilderness. A handful of passengers survived. Against impossible odds, they endured the cold, the hunger, and the endless wait for rescue. The world called it a miracle. But how far did they go to survive?
Years later, one survivor is finally ready to speak. And when the truth comes out, it will change everything you thought you knew about Flight 417 . . .
Flight 417 is a compulsive survival thriller that explores the psychological cost of endurance, the quiet corrosion of power under pressure, and the dangerous comfort of rewriting the past, set against the vast landscape of the Alaskan wilderness."
"Help at Any Cost was the first book to expose the roots of the troubled-teen industry and describe how it sells abuse as therapy. This original work was one of the inspirations for the hit Netflix documentary, The Program, and its author is the leading expert on the origins and harms of tough-love programs for teenagers.
Despite the fact that these programs have no medical evidence to support them, the boot camps, rehabs, emotional growth boarding schools, religion-based centers and wilderness programs that make up this industry are even now finding new customers. Help at Any Cost is first in-depth investigation of these programs and their practices, starting with their roots in the cult sixties drug rehabilitation program, Synanon, which became the model for 'therapeutic community' addiction treatment for both adults and teens in the United States.
Szalavitz uncovers disturbing findings about programs' methods, including accounts of physical and verbal abuse, and presents moving, often horrifying, first-person testimony of kids who made it through and stories of those who didn't.
The book also contains a thoughtfully compiled guide for parents, which details effective treatment alternatives. Weaving careful reporting with astute analysis, Maia Szalavitz has written an important and timely account that will change the way we look at rebellious teens—and the people to whom we entrust them. Help at Any Cost is a vital resource with an urgent message that will draw attention to a compelling issue long overlooked and a history that still shadows youth and adult addiction treatment in America."
"Mothers and Daughters: The First Three Years offers a new perspective on female development and the origins of mother-daughter relationship pleasures and stresses.
In addition to emotional development and the impact of mothers' childhood memories on mother-daughter interactions, this book explores the enmeshment of personal and cultural themes about being female. Filled with mothers' intimate and surprising insights about the links between their own childhood memories and current interactions with their daughters that lead to solutions to typical mother-daughter conflicts, this book demonstrates the influence a little girl can have on her mother to discover new aspects of herself. In a changing world, where women are gaining more social, economic, and political power, this book illustrates how remnants of the past live on in the present.
Through the lens of female empowerment, mothers' memories are integrated with societal changes to shed new light on supporting the next generation of women."

"Philosophy of Mind: A Very Short Introduction probes some of the great philosophical questions about the mind: What is the relationship between mind and matter? Can science unravel the mystery of consciousness? How can our thoughts represent things in the world? Are computers genuinely intelligent?
In the book, Barbara Gail Montero highlights key thought experiments used by philosophers to explore the nature of mind and how mind and body relate to each other (the mind-body problem). She leads listeners through the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed solutions to the mind-body problem and explores the philosophical conundrums associated with sensation, perception, cognition, and emotion.
While keeping an eye on the contemporary philosophical debate, Montero also considers the cross-cultural roots of philosophy of mind, and its connections to psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and physics."
