Exceptionally moving is ""Who Killed the Shark?"" in which Brownworth pays tribute to an early lover who endured a long, painful death from colon cancer because she was too poor to have access to competent medical attention. An excerpt from Ellen Leopold's collection of Rachel Carson's letters to her physician documents the environmentalist's struggle to understand her disease (the author of Silent Spring saw a connection between pesticides and cancer). The volume opens with a selection by the late poet Audre Lorde, whose Cancer Journals were among the first writings to bring breast cancer out of the closet. In addition, editor Brownworth writes, ""Our experiences with sexism, homophobia and racism make it less likely for us to seek out medical care."" Brownworth, a medical reporter and author (Too Queer: Essays from a Radical Life, etc.), has collected stories, memoirs, poetry, graphic art and articles written by and about lesbians with cancer. Susan Love (interviewed in this collection), lesbians may indeed be at a greater risk for breast cancer because they are less likely to get pregnant, and early pregnancy helps prevent the disease.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NEWSWEEK The New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box returns with a supernatural thriller of love, redemption, and murder. Montel Group has published on Friday that the front-month price of #LNG, including delivery costs, to northwestern Europe hit a 10-week low due to falling #hubprices and increased #regasification capacity, data from Spark Commodities showed. The start of the year has seen a decline in #gasprices and #LNGprices, putting less stress on gas inventory levels and sending the #benchmark #gasprice at the #Dutch #TTF hub down 14% since the end of 2022. An important factor is China and how the #covid wave there will affect the #economy and the #gasdemand in Europe. #GoldmanSachs expects storage facilities to remain at least 20% full by the end of March 2023, while #energyresearch consultancy Wood Mackenzie said an unusually cold winter in the Northern Hemisphere could reduce #European #gasinventories to 4% of total capacity by March. A number of factors are at play keeping Europe in a better position than they were last year: milder temperatures than usual, reduced #heating demand, a high #storage rate and more #supply available due to a mostly absent #China from the #spot market. The #gasstorage levels in most EU countries are well above their five-year averages, but key questions depend on how European reserves will be refilled after winter, assuming Russian supplies aren't resumed. #Gasprices in #Europe have fallen to pre-Ukraine invasion levels, and it seems we might avoid a full-blown #energycrisis this winter.Below, there is a short review on what happened this week on European gas market (09/01-). Yet its real value is far more permanent. This marvelous survey of world history, the last of his books to be translated into English, was originally intended for French "sixth-formers." Traditionalists attacked the new stress on the social sciences and eventually triumphed, but Braudel was firmly committed to such changes. In the late 1950s, when the Annales approach was widely accepted in French universities, a major reform introduced the study of "the main contemporary civilizations" into the final year of secondary schools. A leading member of the Annales school, he rejected a narrow focus on Western warfare, diplomacy, and power politics, and opened up economic and social history to influences from anthropology, sociology, geography, psychology, and linguistics. A history of civilizations - Civilizations outside Europe - European civilizationsįernand Braudel was one of the greatest historians of the twentieth century. |
