However, when including preparation and fundraising it took two years from idea conception to release. Anonymous (2001). Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism, 4th ed. A.A. World Services. OCLC 49743393.

It was a big endeavour to find a company with a printer large enough to print a cover spread that was over 11 feet (3.3 metres) wide. Wild Massive by Scotto Moore describes the lives of the inhabitants of a reality-warping building that may actually contain all of reality, except for the bits outside. Follow Carissa as she navigates increasingly difficult obstacles on her journey to live a peaceful, secluded life in her elevator. Thrill as a species of shapeshifting creatures fight for their freedom against the tyrannical building association. Enjoy a book that defies description. Highly recommended. It has been in a Thanksgiving Parade in Houston, The Bryan Museum in Galveston, the Alamo in San Antonio, the Texas State Capitol in Austin, The Stark Museum in Orange, Texas, and has future stops at the Galleria Houston, Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas, and the Dallas Historical Society,” said Melissa. The author also seems to love firing off tweets in the text. I noticed this with The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz as well. If you're writing speculative fiction - I kindly ask that you remember you're writing a BOOK. You don't need to contain your social commentary to 180 or 250 characters mid-stride. SHOW ME the consequences of what you're upset about, SHOW ME why things are not working right, SHOW ME how they can be better. Here are some examples of the author firing off a tweet:

About the Big Book

Foderaro, Lisa W. (2007-07-06). "Alcoholics Anonymous Founder's House Is a Self-Help Landmark". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331 . Retrieved 2022-11-01. Self-Help/ Instructional: The Big Book by Alcoholics Anonymous". TIME. August 30, 2011. Archived from the original on August 31, 2011. When we joined together with the Ordinary People Change the World team, our goal was to inspire kids to do something BIG and become a part of history. Carmen's mother continues dieting, forcing herself to get thinner and thinner, so it's no real surprise when Carmen starts purging too. Her grandmother is obese, so she goes to her house and feels disgusted at the weight that she's seeing, then she internalises it and she feels disgusted with herself also. Lisa, her aunt, is concerned about her, as is Billy, her mother's ex-boyfriend, but because Carmen is nowhere near as dangerously thin as her mother, nothing is really done to assist her.

G. Alan Marlatt also questioned the necessity of a need for a Higher Power but concluded that he was "impressed with the amazing success of A.A. over the past 50 years of its existence. If alcoholism is really a disease of the spirit (for which alcohol is no real solution), then it makes sense that the religious fellowship of A.A. provides fulfillment of the alcoholic's underlying craving for union with a Higher Power. Especially if it keeps its members sober, which A.A. often does." [24]

Marie-Laure lives in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where her father works. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. However, not all reviewers, especially those in the medical field, found merit in the book. The review that appeared in the October 1939 volume of the Journal of the American Medical Association called the book "a curious combination of organizing propaganda and religious exhortation…in no sense a scientific book." [20] Similarly, the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease said The Big Book was "big in words…a rambling sort of camp meeting…Of the inner meaning of alcoholism there is hardly a word. It is all on the surface material." [21] This review went on to "degrade" the alcoholic: "Inasmuch as the alcoholic, speaking generally, lives a wish-fulfilling infantile regression to the omnipotent delusional state, perhaps he is best handled for the time being at least by regressive mass psychological methods, in which, as is realized, religious fervors belong, hence the religious trend of the book." The views about the book and about alcoholism espoused in these two journals was typical of how alcoholics and other addicts were viewed by many in the psychiatric field during the middle of the 20th century. [22] Later editions [ edit ] Is the therapeutic approach to alcoholism as depicted in this text consistent with contemporary efforts to treating addictive behaviours like alcoholism?
