Many Reasons Why Black Women Don’t Wear Their Own Hair
￥81.34
MOST PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT BECAUSE BLACK WOMEN HAIR IS NAPPY, ZIPPY, CURLY, KINKY, TINY, WAVY, AND SHORT; THEY WEAR WIGS, WEAVES, EXTENSIONS, AND BRAIDS TO COVER IT UP. BUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN IN BLACK WOMEN SHOES. UNLIKE MOST PEOPLE, I DID MY HOMEWORK AND FOUND OUT IT’S NOT TRUE. Before I started writing this book, my preconceived notions as to why black women did not wear their natural hair, was wide-ranging.Since I had quite a few assumptions (which may or may not be true), I started looking for ways to know the truth about black women and their dislike of their natural hair. I finally came up with an idea to interview a sample of black women and get the facts instead of sticking to my assumptions. After my interactions with many black women from different continents,countries, and cities, I decided to write this book to give an opportunity to other people to read about my findings that reveal a variety of answers to my burning questions. I hope you read it, learn from it, and comprehend the many reasons why black women choose not to wear their hair. This book may not coverall those reasons but all the answers in it were real and from black women themselves.You will be surprised to discover a variety of reasons why they don't wear their natural hair.

Treasure
￥84.74
These traditional reads are brimming with spirited characters and positive values--but with a little extra excitement and bite, so hold on to your hats! Written expressly for the middle grade struggling reader, the series does not contain strong language, edgy themes, or dysfunctional families. In fact, family is the main theme of these titles. And one particular Latino family is the focus with their uncanny knack for finding humor, hope, and colorful personalities--even in unusual circumstances. Written at the lowest reading levels, the 50-page story structure is straightforward and moves the reader through the text quickly and efficiently. Franco was an hour into his morning dive. He swam to the edge of the reef. Something caught his eye. When he swam closer, he gasped. There was a huge ship's mast!

Swati's Marriage and Other Tales of India
￥32.62
In India, the life of women has never been easy by any stretch of the imagination. Swati's Marriage and Other Tales of India brings their eternal struggles to a new audience by engaging the subject head-on through the eyes of young women in the 21st century. Western audiences may have assumed that such considerations as dowries, arranged marriage, and abuse of spouses, servants, and the elderly would be tempered in the age of social media. Instead, Ankita Sharma's characters confront these issues as they persevere in their quest for love, independence, and fulfillment in the face of centuries of social mores, traditions, and institutionalized repression. Sometimes, all they can do is put on a smile for their armor and retreat to fight another day, their only comfort being hope that their children will have it better than they did. Here is the human condition expressed on every page--the desperate longing for meaning, for acceptance, for love and understanding that we all seek, that we all despair we may not find, that brings us together into a shared experience at the very same moment that it separates us. "Fans of Masterpiece's Indian Summer and the stories of Ruskin Bond will welcome this female perspective on modern-day Indian life. These short stories are full of epiphanies and restrictions that remind one of James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield's work and show how little the human experience changes, despite cultural differences." -- Tyler R. Tichelaar, Ph.D. and award-winning author of Narrow Lives and The Best Place From the World Voices Series Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

Old Mortality
￥40.79
The remarkable person, called by the title of Old Mortality, was we’ll known in Scotland about the end of the last century. His real name was Robert Paterson. He was a native, it is said, of the parish of Closeburn, in Dumfries-shire, and probably a mason by profession—at least educated to the use of the chisel. Whether family dissensions, or the deep and enthusiastic feeling of supposed duty, drove him to leave his dwelling, and adopt the singular mode of life in which he wandered, like a palmer, through Scotland, is not known. It could not be poverty, however, which prompted his journeys, for he never accepted anything beyond the hospitality which was willingly rendered him, and when that was not proffered, he always had money enough to provide for his own humble wants. His personal appearance, and favourite, or rather sole occupation, are accurately described in the preliminary chapter of the following work.
