In this story, she shares how her mother overcame diabetes and the depression that stemmed from an unhealthy relationship with food. She also shares her struggles as her weight seemed to be on a teeter-totter, going up and down no matter what she would do. As a mother, her goal was to model healthy eating habits for her daughter. But, unfortunately, the reality of her journey led to liposuction, a tummy tuck, a gastric sleeve, and even a facelift! In writing this book, Carol’s goal is to provide an unfiltered look at the journey so many people consider. And to share the positives, as well as the negatives, of her journey and let you know that even though your weight loss may have stalled, increased, or hasn’t changed at all, there is hope! You don’t have to give up on your dreams. You, too, can begin living your best life, just like Carol! Let’s go!

Now in 24 languages. Nature's Lessons in Healing Trauma... Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed. Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.

The concept of gravity provides a natural phenomenon that is simultaneously obvious and obscure; we all know what it is, but rarely question why it is. The simple observation that 'what goes up must come down' contrasts starkly with our current scientific explanation of gravity, which involves challenging and sometimes counterintuitive concepts. With such extremes between the plain and the perplexing, gravity forces a sharp focus on scientific method. Following the history of gravity from Aristotle to Einstein, this clear account highlights the logic of scientific method for non-specialists. Successive theories of gravity and the evidence for each are presented clearly and rationally, focusing on the fundamental ideas behind them. Using only high-school level algebra and geometry, the author emphasizes what the equations mean rather than how they are derived, making this accessible for all those curious about gravity and how science really works.
