    Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. PULITZER PRIZE WINNER . NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER . The riveting true story of a small town ravaged by industrial pollution, "every bit as important-and as well written-as A Civil Action and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" (The Star-Ledger) "A new classic of science reporting."-The New York Times "A gripping, page-turning environmental thriller."-NPR "Unstoppable reading."-The Philadelphia Inquirer One of New Jersey's seemingly innumerable quiet seaside towns, Toms River became the unlikely setting for a decades-long drama that culminated in 2001 with one of the largest legal settlements in the annals of toxic dumping. A town that would rather have been known for its Little League World Series champions ended up making history for an entirely different reason: a notorious cluster of childhood cancers scientifically linked to local air and water pollution. For years, large chemical companies had been using Toms River as their private dumping ground, burying tens of thousands of leaky drums in open pits and discharging billions of gallons of acid-laced wastewater into the town's namesake river. In an astonishing feat of investigative reporting, journalist Dan Fagin recounts the sixty-year saga of rampant pollution and inadequate oversight that made Toms River a cautionary example for fast-growing industrial towns from South Jersey to South China. He tells the stories of the pioneering scientists and physicians who first identified pollutants as a cause of cancer, and brings to life the everyday heroes in Toms River who struggled for justice: a young boy whose cherubic smile belied the fast-growing tumors that had decimated his body from birth; a nurse who fought to bring the alarming incidence of childhood cancers to the attention of authorities who didn't want to listen; and a mother whose love for her stricken child transformed her into a tenacious advocate for change. A gripping human drama rooted in a centuries-old scientific quest, Toms River is a tale of dumpers at midnight and deceptions in broad daylight, of corporate avarice and government neglect, and of a few brave individuals who refused to keep silent until the truth was exposed. AN NPR AND KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR . WINNER OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY'S HELEN BERNSTEIN BOOK AWARD.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Do you live with a negative inner voice that demeans and undermines you, insisting you're not smart enough, successful enough, fit enough, productive enough, or just not good enough? Do you ever feel like your own worst enemy? Maybe you beat yourself up, put yourself down, or push yourself way too hard. Perhaps you doubt your abilities or denigrate your accomplishments. Do you have a cruel inner critic constantly saying, "You suck." Can you relate? If so, you're not alone. In Sometimes I Think I Suck, Tal Fagin shares her personal journey from an ambitious, hard-driving lawyer to a contented, easy-going life coach, showing how she shed the perfectionism that once caused her so much pain. Drawing from years of experience coaching high achievers and other deeply self-critical clients, she offers practical tools and exercises to help you silence your inner critic, develop greater self-compassion, and find more profound satisfaction. Through relatable stories and actionable advice, this book guides you in clarifying and confronting the thoughts and beliefs that keep you mired in self-doubt. It teaches you how to live a more confident and joyful life by transforming that nagging, niggling voice into a source of strength. Whether you want to advance in your career, elevate your relationships, or improve self-esteem, Sometimes I Think I Suck will empower you to break free from self-defeating patterns so you can fully inhabit the rich, rewarding life that is waiting for you. Get ready to stop criticizing and start thriving-because you definitely do not suck.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Good. ¿No sabes qué hacer? Pregúntale a san Ignacio.   Decisiones, decisiones y más decisiones. Todos los días están llenos de decisiones que tomar, sobre todo para los jóvenes que han de elegir constantemente un camino en lugar de otro. Pero, ¿alguna vez has tomado una decisión de manera impulsiva que, aunque parecía una buena idea en ese momento, terminó siendo una mala decisión, una decisión que al final fue en tu contra? En Descubre tu sueño, Gerald Fagin, SJ, profesor de espiritualidad y teología moral, explora el enfoque de san Ignacio sobre la toma de decisiones; un proceso de discernimiento que te ayudará a aclarar tus deseos más profundos y te permitirá tomar decisiones acordes a tu fe y tus valores. Con la guía de los principios que san Ignacio expone en Ejercicios espirituales estarás mejor preparado para tomar decisiones espiritualmente positivas que te llevarán a ser quien realmente eres. Dios quiere tener una relación más cercana contigo; san Ignacio te muestra cómo lograrlo. Decisions, decisions, decisions! The world, our lives--every day is full of them. Big or little, major or minor, we are constantly choosing between paths. But have you ever thought about how that happens? More importantly, have you ever impulsively made a decision that turned out not to be in your best moral or spiritual interests? Overall, are you sure that the decisions you're making are helping you get closer to God's desire for your life? In Discovering Your Dream, Gerald Fagin, SJ, uses St. Ignatius's principles of the Spiritual Exercises, coupled with an Ignatian approach to decision making, to guide us through a discernment process that truly satisfies our deepest desires and brings us closer to God. He shows readers how St. Ignatius's own decision-making process can be molded to meet the needs of our faith and lead us to our truest selves that God desires for all of us. When faced with difficult or crippling decisions, it helps to seek wisdom in others. Discovering Your Dream shows us that the path to our truest desires is attainable in our own lives when we are guided by the groundwork laid by St. Ignatius.…

    Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. PULITZER PRIZE WINNER . NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER . The riveting true story of a small town ravaged by industrial pollution, "every bit as important-and as well written-as A Civil Action and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" (The Star-Ledger) "A new classic of science reporting."-The New York Times "A gripping, page-turning environmental thriller."-NPR "Unstoppable reading."-The Philadelphia Inquirer One of New Jersey's seemingly innumerable quiet seaside towns, Toms River became the unlikely setting for a decades-long drama that culminated in 2001 with one of the largest legal settlements in the annals of toxic dumping. A town that would rather have been known for its Little League World Series champions ended up making history for an entirely different reason: a notorious cluster of childhood cancers scientifically linked to local air and water pollution. For years, large chemical companies had been using Toms River as their private dumping ground, burying tens of thousands of leaky drums in open pits and discharging billions of gallons of acid-laced wastewater into the town's namesake river. In an astonishing feat of investigative reporting, journalist Dan Fagin recounts the sixty-year saga of rampant pollution and inadequate oversight that made Toms River a cautionary example for fast-growing industrial towns from South Jersey to South China. He tells the stories of the pioneering scientists and physicians who first identified pollutants as a cause of cancer, and brings to life the everyday heroes in Toms River who struggled for justice: a young boy whose cherubic smile belied the fast-growing tumors that had decimated his body from birth; a nurse who fought to bring the alarming incidence of childhood cancers to the attention of authorities who didn't want to listen; and a mother whose love for her stricken child transformed her into a tenacious advocate for change. A gripping human drama rooted in a centuries-old scientific quest, Toms River is a tale of dumpers at midnight and deceptions in broad daylight, of corporate avarice and government neglect, and of a few brave individuals who refused to keep silent until the truth was exposed.
