En su primer libro con HarperEnfoque, la autora, conferenciante y exlíder feminista Sara Huff aborda el problema del verdadero feminismo, que ha corrompido y atenuado el valor y papel de las mujeres y la sociedad, al venderles una falsa libertad, y ayuda al lector a evitar caer en sus garras y en su trágica conclusión. En Cómo fabricar a una feminista, Sara Huff proporciona valiosos antecedentes históricos e investigación sobre el feminismo, así como proporciona experiencia de primera mano sobre la formación de una verdadera feminista y la destrucción total que le espera si continúa por el camino del verdadero feminismo. La autora responde a preguntas sobre el feminismo verdadero como: ¿Qué es el verdadero feminismo?  ¿Qué es una verdadera feminista? ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias? Si uno se propusiera crear una feminista, ¿cómo lo haría?  Si una se convirtiera en feminista y viera lo que es el verdadero feminismo, ¿seguiría siendo una? ¿Cuál es el objetivo final del feminismo? ¿Existe una verdadera libertad dentro del feminismo o el fin es un ejercicio en vano? ¿Cómo se garantiza que la generación del mañana no sea víctima de la cosmovisión del feminismo? ¿Cómo rescatar a los que ya han sido víctimas de él? En este libro, Huff explica cómo el verdadero feminismo: Crea un grave problema Entorpece a su público Presenta falsos problemas e histeria colectiva Crea una identidad propia entre sus víctimas Altera, modifica y se aprovecha de sus víctimas Influye en sus víctimas, y Desacredita a sus víctimas El libro también es útil para las personas que buscan ayudar a otras que son susceptibles de caer presas del verdadero feminismo, a la vez que sirve como herramienta para quienes buscan ayudar a las que han caído presas del verdadero feminismo. How to Manufacture a Feminist In her first book with HarperFocus, author, speaker, and former feminist leader, Sara Huff addresses the problem of true feminism, which has corrupted and attenuated the value and role of women and society and sold them a false freedom, and helps the reader avoid falling into its clutches and its tragic conclusion. In How to Manufacture a Feminist, Sara Huff provides valuable historical background and research on feminism, as well as providing first-hand experience on the making of a true feminist and the utter destruction that awaits her if she continues down the path of true feminism. The author answers questions about true feminism such as: What is true feminism?  What is a true feminist? What are the consequences? If one were to set out to create a feminist, how would one go about it?  If one were to become a feminist and see what true feminism is, would one still be one? What is the ultimate goal of feminism? Is there true freedom within feminism or is in the end an exercise in futility? How does one ensure that tomorrow's generation does not fall victim to feminism's worldview? How do we rescue those who have already fallen victim to it? This book is also useful for people seeking to help others who are susceptible to falling prey to true feminism, while serving as a tool for those seeking to help those who have fallen prey to true feminism.

Help children overcome the increasing dangers they face because of their parents' addictions Impact of Substance Abuse on Children and Families addresses the growing concern over children at risk of developing physical and mental health problems because of their parents' addictions to alcohol and other drugs (AOD), including a chapter on the troubling increase of methamphetamine abuse by parents. The book's contributors examine current research findings from the United States, Australia, Ireland, and Israel to provide much-needed insight into the effects of addiction on family dynamics, parental attachment styles, and family characteristics. The book also looks at the impact of addiction on school-aged children and on mothers in residential treatment with their children, survey assessment instruments and treatment outcomes, and the value of Student Assistance Services for older children. Almost 25 percent of children in the United States live in a household where a parent or other adult is a heavy or binge drinker. More than 10 percent live in family where illicit drugs are used. Children of alcoholics are nearly 10 times more likely to develop an alcohol use disorder as other children, and often develop behavior problems such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder. Children of illicit drug abusers are more likely than other children to demonstrate immature, impulsive, or irresponsible behavior, to have lower IQ scores, and poorer school attendance. Impact of Substance Abuse on Children and Families focuses on these critical and often ignored aspects of addiction, providing the latest evidence-based qualitative and quantitative research findings, as well as a summary of available literature. Impact of Substance Abuse on Children and Families examines: the impact on children at various developmental stages the role of the family as a treatment resource alcohol problems and marriage parental attachment styles of drug-using fathers family cohesion and adaptability self-in-relations theory family-centered service models the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) adolescent substance abuse treatment online treatment options Impact of Substance Abuse on Children and Families is an essential resource for both academics and practitioners working in social work, addictions counseling, sociology, psychology, public health, and family and children's studies.

Darrell Huff runs the gamut of every popularly used type of statistic, probes such things as the sample study, the tabulation method, the interview technique, or the way results are derived from the figures, and points up the countless number of dodges which are used to fool rather than to inform.

"Mr. Huff's lively, human-interest treatment of the dry-as-bones subject of statistics is a timely tonic. . . . This book needed to be written, and makes its points in an entertaining and highly readable manner."—Management Review

"Illustrator and author pool their considerable talents to provide light lively reading and cartoon far which will entertain, really inform, and take the wind out of many an overblown statistical sail."—Library Journal

"A pleasantly subsersive little book, Guaranteed to undermine your faith in the almighty statistic."—Atlantic

In 1954, Darrell Huff decided enough was enough. Fed up with politicians, advertisers and journalists using statistics to sensationalise, inflate, confuse, oversimplify and - on occasion - downright lie, he decided to shed light on their ill-informed and sneaky ways. How to Lie with Statistics is the result - the definitive and hilarious primer in the ways statistics are used to deceive. With over one and half million copies sold around the world, it has delighted generations of readers with its cheeky takes on the ins and outs of samples, averages, errors, graphs and indexes. And in the modern world of big data and misinformation, Huff remains the perfect guide through the maze of facts and figures that are designed to make us believe anything.

Shocking new insider information that shows what really happened in Wuhan, China, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak and in the ensuing cover-up. The day that Dr. Andrew G. Huff left his senior scientist and vice president role at EcoHealth Alliance was one of the happiest days of his life due to the corruption he had witnessed at the organization. However, he never thought working there would be of any great consequence to the future. He was wrong. Because, as an EcoHealth Alliance insider, Dr. Huff had had a ringside seat to one of the biggest cover-ups in history. The Truth about Wuhan contains new research and a breakdown of how and why the development of COVID-19 in the United States and China was supported by the US government to collect intelligence on laboratories in China. Dr. Huff, an expert in the fields of bioterrorism and bio warfare, is a whistleblower who will show why the reasons the lab leak was covered up are incorrect. He worked on the classified research side of the program as a US government scientist. He knows the real how and why COVID-19 emerged. Besides exposing the conspiracy and cover-up, Dr. Huff also puts forth policy solutions and recommendations to prevent a lab leak virus from plaguing the world again. The Truth about Wuhan simply explains the complexity of the system that led to COVID-19's emergence; how the medical industrial complex grew and became entrenched in gain of function work after 9/11; why EcoHealth Alliance was the (almost) perfect intelligence collection cover; the policy actions and decision-making process as to why the United States government engaged in the COVID cover-up; how and why the United States swapped biotechnology with China and biomedical corporations; and the incentives for each of the actors or governments to engage and coordinate a global cover-up of COVID-19 origins. The Truth about Wuhan also shows how and why Dr. Anthony Fauci is intricately involved in the COVID cover-up; how scientists like EcoHealth Alliance president and CEO Dr. Peter Daszak rose to power and used their influence to corrupt science and the COVID origin investigation; and how the intelligence community likely orchestrated the cover-up with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Dr. Huff also provides personal harrowing accounts of how the US government waged a psychological operation against him to prevent him from speaking out. COVID-19 is the biggest lie, scandal, and intelligence failure in US history, and Dr. Andrew G. Huff is stepping out of the shadows to share his insider story about this failure that led to millions of deaths around the world.
