![]() ![]() ![]() Debra Soh is an expert guide navigating the jungle of umbrella categories like ‘Trans’ and ‘LGBTQx’ to let us know how they are informed by our scientific understanding of biology. “There is no more treacherous topic on the current intellectual landscape than the biological basis of gender. “By far the best I’ve read on this topic.” - MICHAEL SHERMER “Parents are desperate to do the right thing, and they’re not getting all the facts. “A clear and methodical lay of the land, debunking common scientific misconceptions.” - NATIONAL REVIEW Be brave like Debra Soh.” - ABIGAIL SHRIER, Commentary Magazine “One of The End of Gender’s bravest themes comes in Soh’s discussion of childhood gender dysphoria. “Soh’s new book, The End of Gender, lays out with exceptional care not just why we have got into the current impasse, but how we might get out of it.” - DOUGLAS MURRAY, The London Times Rooted in data but accessible to the common person, this is the rare book that can only be labeled 'must-read.'” - BEN SHAPIRO Debra Soh's book is not only eminently reasonable and beautifully-written, it is brave and vital. We need to support the fight-back.” - RICHARD DAWKINS And she fearlessly pushes back against the notion that the only way to advance equality is to scramble biology, language, and common sense, and to intimidate anyone who doesn’t go along.” - STEVEN PINKER Debra Soh has given us a lucid explanation of the latest science and politics of men and women. “Sex and gender are always gripping topics, and The End of Gender does not disappoint. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nightlife Reviews of local evening hot spots around Northern New England.Lodging Reviews of local hotels, inns and Bu0026#038 Bs around Northern New England.Local Music Reviews of local bands and tours around Northern New England.Gardens and Paths Reviews of the remarkable locations to visit in Northern New England.Exhibitions Reviews of local museum and gallery exhibitions around Northern New England.Events Events and happenings around the area, whenever we happen to be there.Businesses Reviews of local businesses in the Northern New England area. ![]() Adventure Reviews of local adventure trips around Northern New England.New England Author Interviews Interviews of local authors.Local Author Releases Book releases from local authors.Book Signings Book signings in northern New England.Young Adult Fantasy u0026 Science Fiction. ![]() ![]() Even those who could give a mint julep for the Kentucky Derby should be vastly entertained.

And it also has what often separates the victors from the also-rans – plenty of heart. ![]() It has “winner” written all over it, from its bloodlines (Smiley won a Pulitzer for A Thousand Acres), to its pace (fast) and ability to go the distance (considerable).

This is an epic, moving history of a scientific idea coming to life, by the author of The Emperor of All Maladies. This is a story driven by human ingenuity and obsessive minds – from Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel to Francis Crick, James Watson and Rosalind Franklin, and the thousands of scientists still working to understand the code of codes. ![]() It reorganizes our understanding of sexuality, temperament, choice and free will. It intersects with Darwin’s theory of evolution, and collides with the horrors of Nazi eugenics in the 1940s.

Jane believed Waverly to be a bit of a flirt and rogue. Each is a stand alone, but I loved reading ‘Mine’ first.
