Two Pulitzer Prize winners expose the most pervasive human rights violation of our erathe oppression of women in the developing worldand tell us what we can do about it. An old Chinese proverb says Women hold up half the sky. Then why do the women of Africa and Asia persistently suffer human rights abuses? Continuing their focus on humanitarian issues, journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn take us to Africa and Asia, where many women live in profoundly dire circumstancesand some succeed against all odds. A Cambodian teenager is sold into sex slavery; a formerly illiterate woman become

Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists for The New York Times and authors of China Wakes, return with an eclectic collection of reportage from Asia. Thunder from the East lacks an overarching thesis, except perhaps the claim that Asia is an incredibly important part of the world whose influence will only grow in the 21st century. (Toward the end of the book, in an amusing speculation about the year 2040, the authors wonder about "the Indian landing on Mars, the Kim’s Riceburger acquisition of McDonald’s, and now this basketball loss" of the Americ

Have you ever been in a situation in which you were caught off guard, left speechless, or, worse yet, put your foot in your mouth? This easily accessible book focuses on those moments when knowing exactly what to say is both a challenge and important. From the light-hearted how to react when your boyfriend gives you a blender as a gift or what to say when you run into another lady at a party wearing exactly the same dress to the more serious what to say to a friend who has had a miscarriage or to a friend who has suffered the sudden death of a parent. As A Lady Would Say differs from other e

I am very ill. I sense my deceased grandfather’s presence. He is trying to tell me something. Am I about to die? Has he come for me? I shout into the dark, “I cannot hear you!” He tells me I must write something for my father. Thirty-six hours later, I learn my father just passed away. I am to write his eulogy. That visitation opened wide swaths of understanding for author, Sheryl Glick. She ultimately learned we all have the ability to communicate with our guides…spirits of loved ones, guardian angels, saints, or just “coincidences” that show us the way. Life Is No Coincidence relates t

All Molly Forrester wants is to find that one big story that can redirect her journalism career away from the sex/relationship advice column she writes for Zeitgeist magazine ("wedged somewhere between Marie Claire and Cosmo") and back to the serious news business. But she didn’t expect to trip over it, especially when "it" turned out to be the bloody body of one of her coworkers, and she certainly didn’t expect to ruin her brand new Jimmy Choos over it. Never mind, though--she knows that solving the murder of one of the magazine world’s most notorious lady’s men will
