In one day, her life changed forever. January 25, 2018, was mundane. Boring even. By the next morning, Jennifer Nunes's life had exploded when her young child suffered a severe stroke that left him in critical condition.In Making It to Monday, Nunes integrates deep emotion and ongoing reflection as she shares about the months and years that followed the life-altering event that shook her family to their core. From living in a hospital and navigating the health-care system to learning to parent a child with special needs and powering through the darkest of days, Nunes came to acknowledge that trauma and challenge opened her up to newfound strength, hope, and acceptance. Making It to Monday is a triumphant account of how endurance, love, and happiness exist in each of us in times of crises. In fact, there is no faster way to learn that we are tougher than we realize. The darkness will not last forever, but change will-and that is a beautiful thing.

When she's not working with clients or public speaking, she enjoys staying active as a form of self-care (movement is medicine!), spending time with her family, and planning the next home renovation project.

Set against the backdrop of a changing urban landscape, the poems in Tender Machines swing between the domestic and the surreal, charting motherhood, desire and an immigrant family's haunted inheritance. Mapping the lives of women and the lives they inhabit, poems such as "Small Essays on Disappearance,"-which channel the aftermath of motherhood and 9-11-collide with aubades describing mornings in a ruined city: "buying food at the bodegas...nectarines and skin-tight plums." The poems in Tender Machines live in the space between the public and the private, braiding an intimate narrative. This is an intersectional portrait of womanhood with all its losses, departures and wonders.

He sacrificed his family for ambition - but now they're all he has left.Cameron Parrish became Hollywood's #1 action director by refusing to use AI-assist technology. Every film is a box office success, but neither fame nor fortune makes up for the fact that Cameron's dying to make real cinema - an Oscar-worthy movie that will show the world he's an auteur, not the clever hack that the critics make him out to be.But mere hours after being greenlit for the film he knows he was born to shoot, director Cameron Parrish is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. There's no treatment, and if he's lucky, he might make it another year, but more likely, he's got a few months left.As word gets out about his illness, Cameron realizes he has no true friends.

This Element explores multi-faceted linkages between feeding and relationship formation based on ethnographic case studies in Morocco, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Costa Rica. Research demonstrates that there are many culturally valued ways of feeding children, contradicting the idea of a single universally optimal feeding standard. It demonstrates further that in many parts of the world, feeding plays a central role in bonding and relationship formation, something largely overlooked in current developmental theories. Analysis shows that feeding contributes to relationship formation through what we call proximal, transactional, and distal dimensions. This Element argues that feeding practices can lead to qualitatively distinct forms of relationships. It has important theoretical and practical implications, calling for the expansion of attachment theory to include feeding and body-centered caregiving and significant changes to global interventions currently based on 'responsive feeding.' This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
