Mary Pipher

Riverhead Trade, 2000

Well worth reading
The author of the bestseller Reviving Ophelia this times takes us on a journey through the lives of our elders. Following the lead of Bernice Neugarten at the University of Chicago, she distinguishes between the "young-old" and the "old-old". This book focuses mainly on the later, telling the stories of people who are coping with loss and illness. While individual differences are always ...

Very informative book
Really made me think about the differences in boys and girls. Very informative. Bought one to be passed around among my teacher friends.

Mary Pipher

Ballantine Books, 1997

Timely and Important: A Must Read For All Parents
I picked up this book after reading the equally important "Reviving Ophelia." "The Shelter of Each Other" is an important guidebook on how to get your family back from the clutches of American junk media, job stress and day care. This book is ungently needed by any parent with factory farmed kids who spend their days with nannies, in day care, and in front of the tube watching garbage videos. ...

Caring for Your Parents: The Complete Family Guide (AARP)

3 reviews
Hugh Delehanty, Elinor Ginzler

Sterling, 2008

Caring for Parents by Delehanty and Ginzler
This book is an excellent reference for adults with older parents progressively requiring more care from their children and other care-providers. Generally, the family provides up to 80% of care for the elderly. In my experience, this is true due to the high cost of nursing facilities and the personalized care many older people prefer. The authors mention that advocacy for the elderly ...

Writing to Change the World

Mary Pipher

Riverhead Hardcover, 2006

Inspiring, Profound, and Unique Advice On Writing and Connecting
I've read a lot of books on writing, but never have I read one that inspired me as much as this one. Writing to Change the World has a bold title, but one that Mary Pipher, of Reviving Ophelia fame, more than lives up to. For anyone who gravitates toward writing but is looking for a bit of direction and inspiration, I urge you to check this out. Pipher reveals her own path toward writing later in ...

Can't Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel

24 reviews
Jean Kilbourne

Free Press, 2000

An Absolute Must Read!!
Can't Buy My Love is an extraordinary book, insightful, critical, and without a doubt, an eye-opener. This book should be required reading by all Americans! Personally, it has played a pivotal role in my life. I would say I'm your average American citizen. I grew up in New York, immersed in the typical American culture. I watched plenty of television and movies and thus was exposed to an ...

Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls (Ballantine Reader's Circle)

Mary Phd Pipher, Mary Pipher

Ballantine Books, 2002

Of a rare quality
I used this book, taken from a list provided, as the subject of a term paper for a college psychology class. This was about 3 years ago, and it still takes my mind to a place of deep thought and reveals new insights. This book was interesting to read, and the author discloses information (that is difficult to know of) in an objective manner which is not devoid of kindness and respect for all ...

The Middle of Everywhere: Helping Refugees Enter the American Community

Mary Pipher

Harvest Books, 2003

A must read for all!!!
At first I was apprehensive about reading this book. It was a required reading for a class. Once I started, I realized how wrong I was!!! This is a great book. It brought to light how hard it is for refugees in America. I was also intrigued by the fact that Lincoln, NE is a major refugee hub. I am a teacher, and I come into contact with Hmong students all of the time. This book ...

The Middle of Everywhere: The World's Refugees Come to Our Town

1 review
Mary Pipher

Harcourt, 2002

Who Is My Neighbor?
Mary Pipher's book is a compelling story about the diversity of people who immigrate to the United States , how great their needs are as they enter a new culture, how little understanding and wisdom they bring for handling the complexities of western life, and how little Americans are doing to help them. It also explores the concept of globalization, a trend which was explained with a quote from ...

Reviviendo a Ofelia
Mary Pipher

Circulo de Lectores, 1994

From Publishers Weekly: From her work as a psychotherapist for adolescent females, Pipher here posits and persuasively argues her thesis that today's teenaged girls are coming of age in "a girl-poisoning culture." Backed by anecdotal evidence and research findings, she suggests that, despite the advances of feminism, young women continue to be victims of abuse, self-mutilation (e.g., anorexia), consumerism and media pressure to conform to ...

Hunger Pains

10 reviews
Mary Phd Pipher

Ballantine Books, 1997

Very true, very real, very helpful
I read this book after being discharged from the hospital for treatment of anorexia. More than any other book, "Hunger Pains" made me examine and question the way food, fat, obesity, and thinness are viewed in our culture. It empowered me to want to recover, and to change not only my own life but the society that produces such horrible diseases as anorexia and bulemia. Dr. Pipher is so ...

Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls
Mary Pipher

Riverhead Trade, 2005

The phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller. More than 1.5 million copies sold. Now available from Riverhead. This is the groundbreaking work that poses one of the most provocative questions of a generation: Why are American adolescent girls falling prey to depression, eating disorders, suicide attempts, and dangerously low self-esteem? Dr. Pipher posits that it's America's sexist, look-obsessed "girl-poisoning" culture-one in which girls ...

The Grace of Grass and Water: Writing in Honor of Paul Gruchow

1 review
Mary Pipher, Carol Bly, ...

Ice Cube Press, 2007

Sad, and unfortunate
I knew Paul. Sad to say, at the close of his life he might have found these pretentious essays flattering. If so, it was his momentary poverty. Paul, at his best, was sassy, irreverent and painfully insecure about his writing, his stature, his place in the world. While these writers stretch to gather his genius, their work is preening and artificial. The "natural" celebrated in these essays ...

17 reviews
Jean Kilbourne

Free Press, 1999

Only a little out of print...
This powerful and vital book is out of print - but only under this title. "Deadly Persuasion" was released in November 2000 under the new title "Can't Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel". Under that title, the book has never gone out of print, so it is easy to acquire. And you definitely should acquire it!
