It’s the evening before your research paper is due, and you’re staring at a big, empty white word document waiting to be filled on your computer screen. The clock is ticking. And you’re panicking. Sound familiar? It’s a scenario that all college students face, and with it comes stress, dread, pessimism and, of course, writer’s block.

ABOUT THE BOOK Infertility prevents couples who have unprotected sex on a regular basis from achieving pregnancy. Infertility can be both primary and secondary; primary infertility is when the couple cannot get pregnant and never have done so before, and secondary is when a couple is having difficulty conceiving after at least one previously successful pregnancy. Fertility issues can occur in both men and women, with each sex having their own unique and treatable conditions that can prevent pregnancy. The majority of couples can resolve such issues by addressing modifiable risk factors, taking fertility medications, surgery, or assisted reproduction therapies. As age is a factor that increases many medical causes of infertility, it is important that women who want to get pregnant consider all of the options that are available to them in order to increase their chances. Women who find themselves to be infertile usually suffer from ovulation disorders, but some cases can be due to other conditions that affect the reproductive system, as well as lifestyle factors and age. Those who suffer from ovulation disorders will find that their monthly menstrual cycle does not always result in an egg being released, which prevents them from becoming pregnant. Such conditions can arise as a part of the natural ageing process, from primary conditions such as polycistic ovarian syndrome, or as a secondary factor due to conditions such as AIDS or poor thyroid function. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Clomidane Citrate The most common infertility medication used in women who find that they are suffering from ovulation disorders is Clomidane citrate. The commercial name most commonly used for this infertility drug is Clomid, a drug that you will often find being discussed on pregnancy and infertility forums. As a drug that is taken orally, Clomid is designed to regulate ovulation, but can occasionally lead to more than one egg being released, resulting in multiple pregnancies. The majority of women will find that their doctor starts them on a relatively low dose of Clomid, before having their Mg increased if they have been unsuccessful for a few cycles. Clomid is highly successful, around 80-85% of women who experience infertility due to ovulation disorders find that they get pregnant after using it. For those who are prescribed it there is a need to be aware of some of the common side effects associated; many women experience hot flushes, nausea and headaches. Some find that they experience pain when ovulating and there is a slight increase in risk for miscarriages and multiple births... Buy a copy to keep reading! |

I created this book out of frustration with other English conversation books. Students, especially at a university, often do not want to fully cooperate with questions that seem too easy for them, or that they can answer in brief sentences. As soon as I would hand students a chapter of some other book, they would start a mad dash to see who could answer the questions as quickly as possible. Understandably, as a teacher, this was upsetting, as there was little I could do. Sure, I could ask the students to answer the question correctly, or in a more elongated form but the die had already been cast. They would answer any question as briefly as they could, as quickly as they could.  What is a teacher to do when students finish the thirty questions in 10 minutes instead of the expected 2 hours? I ended up bringing supplementary material to fill up the rest of the time. I searched online for the best ways to teach effective conversation skills. I saw that pictures were often mentioned. Also, idioms, slang, debate, quotes, and riddles. So, I searched online for a book that I could use to teach my classes with and not worry about printing out a ton of sheets. I ended up having to assign my students 4 or 5 books just to have enough material to work with. I need not say that my students were none too pleased. I wanted professional quality material instead of an assortment of mashed up handouts, but there was nothing available! Out of frustration, I took my summer vacation, holed myself up in a dark room with a creaky fan, and created this book. This book has everything that an English conversation teacher would need to teach a class. Every unit is enough for at the very least 2 hours of work, no matter how fast students wish to get through a chapter, it’ll be difficult to finish a chapter in less than 2 hours simply due to the sheer breath of material included in every chapter. This book has over 1500 questions spread over 38 chapters. Besides that, it has 190 idioms, 190 verbal phrases, 190 slang terms, 190 proverbs, 190 quotes, 76 debate questions, 38 riddles, 190 proverbs, 38 motivational quotes, and 38 thought provoking pictures. What all this means is that in every chapter you’ll have enough material to work with so that you, or your students don’t end up with nothing to say. |

White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo: Conversation Starters The New York Times best-selling book White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism explores the reactions that white people have when their personal assumptions about race are challenged. DiAngelo observes that when their reactions are challenged, they maintain racial inequality. DiAngelo is an anti-racist educator and she deftly illuminates in this book the phenomenon of white fragility. This book allows the readers to understand that racism is a practice that is not restricted to ‘bad people.’ She discusses the defensive moves that white people make when they are racially challenged. White fragility appears in a range of emotions like fear, anger, and guilt. It also appears to include silence and argumentation. These behaviors reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent further meaningful cross-racial dialogue. DiAngelo explores white fragility, how it develops, how it gets triggered, how it protects racial inequality and how we can engage people better.  The New Yorker says that White Fragility is an “irrefutable exposure of racism in thought and action and its call for humility and vigilance.”  A Brief Look Inside:    EVERY GOOD BOOK CONTAINS A WORLD FAR DEEPER than the surface of its pages.
