The story Life Goes Both Ways is a true story that is about a twenty-year-old who just finished high school from abroad and moved to the USA without his mom, dad, and friends. Due to the speech impediment, life was too difficult for him. When he left, he made lots of commitments to his family. In the start, he felt that everything was going to be easy, to the point where he was going to maintain a reasonable life right away. Shortly, he discovered that things didn't work like that in the United States of America. Some types of items ought to be done sooner before you could get yourself situated. At foremost, he was living with his brother J, but things didn't work out nicely between the two of them. In a brief time in the country, he was out of his brother's home with no place to stay. Luckily, an elder companion of his promised him to stay in his place until he gets his life in order. Therefore, he jumped back and forth from position to position until he chose to go to school to construct some modifications in his life. He attempted to go to school, but it didn't work out for him. It wasn't until he met a professor who used to teach French at a university in Paris who showed him some methods about how to write essays in the English language. Ever since, he observed he was doing very well in school. He managed to get his associate's in business entrepreneurship but then quit going to college. After a few years, he met his wife, and they had three boys together and bought a house. Due to union obligations and taking care of the children, he couldn't afford to go back to school. His life was focused on the children's education and work. After the children graduated from college and had successful careers, he decided to go back to school to finish what he started. After fifty-plus years during COVID time, he went back to school and managed to graduate with honors. He went to Purdue University Global, where he got himself a degree in business administration. He was an exceptional student too. Information in the book showcased that life went both ways. At certain times in life, there would be no way out; other times; things would be floating smoothly. At first, the future didn't appear very good for the young man in this country. With hard work, commitment, and the support of a few good people, he managed to adjust certain things and, at last, create an exorbitant life for himself. Things were challenging at the beginning, but he turned a bunch of negative stuff into positive ones. Nevertheless, I think that we need good tutors to teach us about the facts of life. In that case, our parents are the ideal ones. After all, I believe very strongly that we should listen to our mom and dad more often because their words contain valuable lessons to teach us.

In Look Both Ways, respected branding consultant and design community leader Debbie Millman has constructed a series of essays that examine the close relationship between design and everyday life. You'll find inspiration on every page as you meander through illuminating observations that are both personal and universal. Each beautifully illustrated essay reveals the magic - and wonder - of the often unseen world around us. Excerpt from "Look Both Ways" It occurred to me, as I stood there, that I could simultaneously, vividly look both ways - backward and forward, in time - at once. I remembered longing to know what was coming, who I would become and how. And I suddenly saw it all over again in front of me. The light was exactly the same, and as the sun fell and the summer shadows slivered against the elegant, lean, concrete towers in the distance, I recognized the smell of the warm air, the precise pink and grey of the coming dusk and the mysterious melancholy and joy of both knowing and not-knowing, and the continuity that occurs when both collide.—Debbie Millman

For author and activist Baumgardner, bisexuality has always been more than the "sexual non-preference of the '90s." Here she takes a close look at gay and bisexual people on the national cultural stage and the issues their growing visibility raises. In a society supposedly grown more open and accepting, what can it mean that bisexuality continues to be marginalized by both gay and straight cultures, and dismissed either as a phase or, worse, a cop-out? Baumgardner discusses her own experience as a bisexual, and the struggle she's undergone to reconcile the privilege of a woman who is perceived as straight, and the empowerment and satisfaction she's derived from her relationships with women. Her book is a study in bisexual lives lived secretly and openly, and an exploration of the lessons learned by writers, artists, and activists who have refused the either/or paradigm defended by both gay and straight communities.--From publisher description.

One of the things that I remember most about my mother aside from spitting her false teeth out of the bus window while trying to jettison some gum, was her constant chatter. In the metronome of the daily walks my mother told me stories. She was a brilliant woman, strong, beautiful and smart. Unfortunately for her while loving the man she rebelled against the patriarchy of the society she was born into with the blame of all ills landing squarely in the lap of the not so humble penis. I spent my life trying to balance her teachings while chasing down the male race and producing two boys from the perspective I learned at her feet with often hilarious results.

Originally published in 1989, this cross-national study investigates the role and pattern of family life in fourteen countries in contemporary Europe. Providing a wealth of information on European families, it is a key source for anyone wishing to understand the changes in the family at that time. The contributors argue that, far from withering away, the family remained a very important social unit which continued to have considerable influence on other social institutions such as the state and the labour market. The central theme is the interrelation between changes in production and working life on one hand, and changes in family life and reproduction on the other. The contributors focus on the pressures and contradictions produced by the division of functions between family and work, and on problems which have arisen as a consequence of the sometimes incompatible and even conflicting demands of the two institutions. They show that the evolution of the nuclear family model in Europe had led to a great diversity of family patterns, and conclude that the family in modern European societies still had a contribution to make which no other institution could provide.

Metropolitan Tang is Linda Bamber's first book of poetry, a debut that is erudite, urban and urbane. Whether she is examining the breakup of her marriage or watching bulls in a field, considering Derrida's concepts of "presence" or her hairdresser's less theoretical philosophy, Ms. Bamber turns over images and ideas until she finds their proper relations, making meaning out of random juxtapositions, sense out of chaos, or, if nothing else, a good joke out of a bad situation. Her voice, sensitive and, at the same time, wry, is clear throughout, uniquely hers.
