Ms. Demeanor : a novel / by Lipman, Elinor,author.;
"Jane Morgan is a valued member of her law firm--or was, until a prudish neighbor, binoculars poised, observes her having sex on the roof of her NYC apartment building. Police are summoned, and a punishing judge sentences her to six months of home confinement. With Jane now jobless and rootless, trapped at home, life looks bleak. Yes, her twin sister provides support and advice, but mostly of the unwelcome kind. When a doorman lets slip that Jane isn't the only resident wearing an ankle monitor, she strikes up a friendship with fellow white-collar felon Perry Salisbury. As she tries to adapt to life within her apartment walls, she discovers she hasn't heard the end of that tattletale neighbor--whose past isn't as decorous as her 9-1-1 snitching would suggest. Why are police knocking on Jane's door again? Can her house arrest have a silver lining? Can two wrongs make a right?"--

"A Quebec bestseller based on the life of Michel Jean's great-grandmother that delivers an empathetic portrait of drastic change in an Innu community. Kukum recounts the story of Almanda Siméon, an orphan raised by her aunt and uncle, who falls in love with a young Innu man despite their cultural differences and goes on to share her life with the Pekuakami Innu community. They accept her as one of their own: Almanda learns their language, how to live a nomadic existence, and begins to break down the barriers imposed on Indigenous women. Unfolding over the course of a century, the novel details the end of traditional ways of life for the Innu, as Almanda and her family face the loss of their land and confinement to reserves, and the enduring violence of residential schools. Kukum intimately expresses the importance of Innu ancestral values and the need for freedom nomadic peoples feel to this day"--

Love people, use things : because the opposite never works / by Millburn, Joshua Fields,author.; Nicodemus, Ryan,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."As seen on the Netflix documentaries Minimalism & Less is now. How might your life be better with less? Imagine a life with less: less stuff, less clutter, less stress and debt and discontent-a life with fewer distractions. Now, imagine a life with more: more time, more meaningful relationships, more growth and contribution and contentment-a life of passion, unencumbered by the trappings of the chaotic world around you. What you're imagining is an intentional life. And to get there, you'll have to let go of some clutter that's in the way. In Love People, Use Things, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus move past simple decluttering to show how minimalism makes room to reevaluate and heal the seven essential relationships in our lives: stuff, truth, self, money, values, creativity, and people. They use their own experiences-and those of the people they have met along the minimalist journey-to provide a template for how to live a fuller, more meaningful life. Because once you have less, you can make room for the right kind of more"--

Punch 9 for Harold Washington. by Winston, Joe,film director.; Jackson, Jesse,actor.; Video Project (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Jesse JacksonOriginally produced by Video Project in 2021.Barack Obama moved to Chicago in 1985, in part, because of a man he'd never met: Harold Washington. The first black mayor of a major U.S. city, Washington created a broad coalition across America's most segregated metropolis on an inclusive platform whose progressive values are still being championed today. Following the 20 year reign of Richard J. Daley, Chicagoans appeared fed up with the machine politics that had defined their city in the national imagination. After a promising but ultimately disappointing term from Jane Byrne, the city's first female mayor, the city's Black leaders recruited Washington to mount an effort to unseat her. In one of the dirtiest political campaigns in American history, in a city rife with corruption and discrimination, Harold Washington took on the deeply-entrenched machine, and a shameful realignment of the city's White democrats with the Republican candidate, to become the 51st mayor of Chicago.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
