Cry, baby : why our tears matter / by Perry, Benjamin(Minister),author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [217] -225)."One of our most private acts, weeping can forge connection. Tears may obscure our vision, but they can also bring great clarity. And in both literature and life, weeping often opens a door to transformation or even resurrection. But many of us have been taught to suppress our emotions and hide our tears. When writer Benjamin Perry realized he hadn't cried in more than ten years, he undertook an experiment: to cry every day. But he didn't anticipate how tears would bring him into deeper relationship with a world that's breaking. Cry, Baby explores humans' rich legacy of weeping--and why some of us stopped. With the keen gaze of a journalist and the vulnerability of a good friend, Perry explores the great paradoxes of our tears. Why do we cry? In societies marked by racism, sexism, and homophobia, who is allowed to cry--and who isn't? And if weeping tells us something fundamental about who we are, what do our tears say? Exploring the vast history, literature, physiology, psychology, and spirituality of crying, we can recognize our deepest hopes and longings, how we connect to others, and the social forces bent on keeping us from mourning. When faced with the private and sometimes unspeakable sorrows of daily life, not to mention existential threats like climate change and systemic racism, we cry for the world in which we long to live. As we reclaim our crying as a central part of being human, we not only care for ourselves and relearn how to express our vulnerable emotions; we also prophetically reimagine the future. Ultimately, weeping can bring us closer to each other and to the world we desire and deserve"--Learning to cry -- This is your brain on tears -- Sob stories and transformation -- Cowboys don't cry -- All these wailing women -- Caste against crying -- Seeing through crocodile tears -- The queer art of crying -- Become like children -- Weeping for the world we deserve -- A blessing for crying.

Cry of the eagle / by Sura, Christopher R.,1963-; Rosiek, Paul J.;
In 1989, the Soviet Union broke apart, changing the world. In 2042, history repeated itself when the United States broke apart after the Six Days. However, the shattered government and the country were held together by a few thin threads of hope: President Armstrong, Colonex and the Eagle Brigade. General Stephan R. Conrad and his Brigade were the last line of defense and on the front line of a war, a war of unknown proportions. As he strategically moves among the upper echelon of politics and espionage, General Congrad puts into motion two Eagles that could find the answer to rebuilding America, and maybe, the answer to the Six. Of course, if discovered, their lives and careers would be ended, and their actions ruled as treason (back cover).

The art of crying : the healing power of tears / by Sandwich, Pepita,1986-author.https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjyqcRhtQFb9gvPB3d64VP;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 200-201).Human tears: The science of crying -- Historical tears: Tears of gods ; Crying studies ; Tears of love ; Tear catchers -- Crocodile tears: Tears and ideas ; Paid for their tears ; Movies to watch when you need a good cry ; The sound of tears ; Literary tears ; The art of crying ; Crying memes -- Society of tears: Gender roles and tears ; Crying while pregnant ; Crying around the world ; Crying on the job ; Crying takes practice -- Existential tears: Crying in dreams ; Reasons why you might not be able to cry ; The benefits of a good cry ; Crying skymiles ; Crying and grief ; Crying rooms ; Partners in crying ; Tears in space ; Crying maps ; The power of empathy."Explore the healing, transformative power of shedding tears in this vibrant illustrated study of crying, one of the most uniquely human things we do. What if crying wasn't just an involuntary reaction to feeling sad, vulnerable, or overwhelmed--but a hidden wellspring of power we could harness to live a fuller life? In The Art of Crying, Pepita Sandwich makes the case that crying is humanity's most misunderstood and magical special effect. We are the only animals who shed tears as a result of the emotions we feel. But crying is not our weakness: it's our superpower. Our tears are a path to growth and healing that leads to deeper and more fulfilling experiences. In this beautifully illustrated book, Sandwich dives deep into an ocean of research into tears to understand the science and history of this uniquely human phenomenon. And she has emerged with a case for "letting it all out" a little more often, because tears have a powerful magic all their own."--Publisher.
