The Body Blog: Explorations in Science and Culture

April 22, 2021 By

WINNER OF THE FLORIDA AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION SILVER MEDAL PRESIDENT’S AWARD IN ADULT NONFICTION.

“Replete with anecdotes and examples, this book is the perfect read for those curious about the wonders of the human body, and death itself.” – IndieReader Discovery Awards Review

Natural selection has been honing the human form for millions of years. During that time, our brains have enlarged, our mouths have gotten smaller, our guts have been streamlined, and we’ve inhabited every ecological niche on the globe. And although we are a single species, with bodies that are both adaptable and intellectually malleable, how we live impacts our bodies in vast and often astounding ways. It all comes down to culture.

This book explores the numerous ways our bodies are affected by culture. Why do we mutilate our teeth, tattoo our skin, bind our feet, or deform our heads? How do some of our most intriguing cultural inventions – cooking our food, transplanting organs, transfusing blood, or treating infectious disease – impact our survival?

What about some of the darker aspects of culture? Why do we bury our dead? When did cremation first take root? How did embalming evolve? What compels the act of cannibalism, necrophilia, or grave robbing? These questions provide insight into our species, for how we treat the dead speaks volumes about how we view the living.

The Body Blog celebrates the fascinating and complex processes that keep us alive and the impact of culture on our remarkable bodies. $7.00 on Kindle.

April 22, 2021 By

Do you make excuses for your partner’s behavior to yourself, friends, and family?
Does your partner tell you what you are thinking or feeling?
Do you think twice before speaking about certain seemingly innocent topics of conversation?
Were you a different person in the past– more confident, fun-loving and relaxed – without persistent sense of doom?

No jokes: it will be hard, probably you’ll need to read the chapters and do the exercises several times but at the end hard work pays back.

Here what you’ll learn in this book:
Understanding the phenomenon
Developing your recovery plan
Healing from the abuse
Every pillar above is made by different chapters which bring you step by step to a new self-awareness.
Remember that the journey to a better life starts from yourself, my best wishes! $2.99 on Kindle
