Grammar for a full life : how the ways we shape a sentence can limit or enlarge us / by Weinstein, Larry,1948-author.(CARDINAL)663588;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Weinstein shows that certain tweaks to a person's grammar can bring consequential changes in his or her fulfillment and well-being. In this wonderfully readable book, he describes some forty transformative moves that can be made with English punctuation and syntax. In the book, you'll learn, for instance, why a greater use of active voice constructions builds assertive energy in us. You'll discover how -- paradoxically -- cutting back on the "intensifiers" (exclamation marks and words like really, absolutely) heightens our awareness of the world. The farther one gets into this remarkable book, the clearer it becomes that Weinstein's wish -- for both himself and us -- is actualization of "the whole person," through language"--Amazon.com.Grammar to take life in hand -- Grammar for creative passivity -- Grammar for belonging -- Grammar for freedom -- Grammar for morale -- Grammar for mindfulness -- Grammar for the end.

The power of style : how fashion and beauty are being used to reclaim cultures / by Allaire, Christian,1992-author.(CARDINAL)853556; Leatherdale, Mary Beth,editor.(CARDINAL)350606;
Sewing tradition -- My hair, my way -- Level-up -- Head strong -- Standing tall -- Mighty makeup."Style is not just the clothes on our backs--it is self-expression, representation, and transformation. As a fashion-obsessed Ojibwe teen, Christian Allaire rarely saw anyone that looked like him in the magazines or movies he looked to for inspiration. Now the Fashion and Style Writer for Vogue, he is working to change that--because clothes are never just clothes. Men's heels are a statement of pride in the face of LGTBQ+ discrimination, while ribbon shirts honor Indigenous ancestors and keep culture alive. Allaire takes the reader through boldly designed chapters to discuss additional topics like cosplay, make up, hijabs, and hair, probing the connections between fashion and history, culture, politics, and social justice."--1070L
