Zambia's Stock Exchange and Privatisation Programme: Corporate Finance Law in Emerging Markets
|
["Kenneth Kaoma Mwenda"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
The main focus of this book is the various economic and financial contexts in which the legal framework for public distribution of securities in Zambia must be viewed and it delineates the need for regional integration with southern and eastern Africa. To develop these contexts, Mwenda (a Rhodes scholar with doctorates in law and business administration now working at the World Bank) examines comparatively the legal regulation of public distribution of securities in other developing countries, the legal framework in Zambia, the regulation there of financial intermediaries, the laws governing privatization of state-owned enterprises, and their legal and extra-legal constraints. He concludes by setting forth a proposal for the creation of a regional stock exchange. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

["Jerrica Knight-Catania"]
| 4.36 | 11 | null |
A GENTLEMAN NEVER TELLS
Benjamin Wetherby, Earl of Glastonbury, has just received an urgent letter from home. His father is dying and he must return to England at once. Benjamin is a man bound by honor and duty, to both his country and his family. So, despite his reservations, he leaves his life in New York City behind so he may find a wife and assume his role as the Marquess of Eastleigh.
Miss Phoebe Blake is finally out of mourning for her father, and just in time. She and her mother could be days away from being carted off to debtors prison, so Phoebe returns to society with the intent and determination to secure a rich husband.
Sparks fly when Benjamin and Phoebe meet, but will a dark secret keep them from finding their happily ever after?
MORE THAN A GOVERNESS
Becky Thorn has been keeping a secret for more than seven years. A secret that, if found out, could destroy her. So before she gets too ensconced in London society, she accepts a position as a governess for a reclusive Viscount and his wife, far away from the ton.
Stephen Christie, the third Viscount Hastings, is nothing short of perturbed when the tart Miss Thorn shows up on his doorstep. He is a man with little time and even less patience, who feels his pushover housekeeper is doing a fine job keeping his wards out of his hair. But Miss Thorn thinks differently and needles her way into becoming his governess, and eventually, the object of his affection.
THE WARY WIDOW
When Chloe Hawthorne is asked to chaperone her cousin during the London Season, it is with a heavy heart that she departs her home and family in Essex.Though she has been widowed for more than a year, she has yet to move on, and is loathe to do so. But when she meets her cousin's fiancee, Lord Andrew Wetherby, she must choose between honoring her cousin's impending marriage and following her heart.
Andrew Wetherby has chosen the perfect bride. She is well bred and beautiful - what more could the second son of a marquess ask for? However, when Lady Elizabeth's new chaperone arrives on the scene, he knows he's made a mistake of monumental proportions. The young widow with the russet curls captures his undivided attention, but as a gentleman, there is little he can do about it.
THE BEDEVILED BRIDE
Lady Elizabeth Wetherby has married the wrong man, after being duped by his identical twin brother. Now, to escape scandal, she and her new husband have taken refuge at Dunbocan, their Scottish estate. Having been a popular and active member of the ton, she worries that being stranded in the Highlands will be a bore. But how can one be bored with ghosts lurking about?
Michael Wetherby has been in love with Elizabeth Crawley since the day he met her. So, when his identical twin brother suggested they trade places one night, he was happy to oblige. But the charade got out of hand, and the next thing he knew, he was leg-shackled to a woman who didn’t want him.
Now, they both must make a be miserable together, or learn to love one another.
THE TEMPTATION OF THE DUKE
Grace Clarke is no longer willing to accept the position of "poor relations." Her sister has married well and taken her under her wing, so with her new connections, it ought to be a breeze to find a wealthy, titled gentleman to help elevate her station in life. Of course, she never expects for him to find her. Especially not in such a compromising position. But once she gets over her humiliation, she discovers that the duke next door is far more than just a duke. He's a man that sets her heart--and other parts of her--aflame.
Evan Gilford, Duke of Somerset, has spent the last fifteen years trying to avoid his marriage. But he can't ignore his duty anymore, not with his guilty conscience nagging at him all the bloody time and a betrothed waiting to become his duchess. So he returns to London, only to discover that he has a rather enchanting new neighbor who soon makes him question where his loyal

Kensington Gore's Twisted Tales - Bet Your Life
|
["Kensington Gore"]
| 3 | 2 | null |
Greetings dear reader, infamous horror film director Kensington Gore here once more. To thrill you and chill you to the bone.
Let me ask you are you a gambler? Do you like a little flutter? How about if I said that I could give you the name of every winning horse or sporting event from now till the end of time? Interested?
I bet you are. Question is how much would you give for that information? Would you 'Bet Your Life'?
The second of my 'Twisted Tales' - short stories 'Bet Your Life' is written by talented writers Leesa Wallace and Graeme Parker. It is a very dark comedy thriller. It follows Steve Dunbar's spiralling fall into the pits of depression caused by an insatiable gambling addiction.
A Twisted Tale is about greed and desire, it's an edge of your seat read, on that you can 'Bet Your Life'.
(WARNING! Bet Your Life contains adult themes about addiction and mild Gore and horror)

Wild Attraction
|
["Emma Hart"]
| 4.13 | 1,634 | 118 |
When I walked into the club, my plan was to finally seduce my ex-boss. But I don't expect him, the man with his dirty British mouth and sexy as sin smirk.
I don't expect the way he takes one look at me and claims me for his own... Or the way he craves control.
Because I crave to give it.
It doesn't matter if something darker lingers in his eyes, or desperation tinges his touch. It doesn't matter if those things nudge at my addictive personality.
The rules are simple:
One night.
One f*ck.
Run.
WILD ATTRACTION is a prequel novella to WILD TEMPTATION. It’s around 10,000 words, and while not necessary to read first, it is advised.

Drawing a Blank: Improving Comprehension for Readers on the Autism Spectrum
|
["Emily Lland"]
| 4.46 | 28 | 3 |
Students with autism should not have struggle with reading comprehension! Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder may be fluent word callers; indeed, many have advanced ability to recognize words. However, many people with autism spectrum disorder need support when it comes to reading comprehension. Comprehension difficulties in readers with ASD can be subtle and difficult to tease out. As a result, their substantial level of risk for reading comprehension problems is often overlooked or unaddressed, and many students struggle in silence. This is where Drawing a Improving Comprehension for Readers on the Autism Spectrum is helpful. This practical and well-researched resource provides educational professionals and parents with the tools needed to improve comprehension for good decoders who have reading comprehension difficulties, as well as readers who struggle with both decoding and comprehension. In keeping with current standards, the book emphasizes the importance of using evidence-based and promising practices, based on thorough assessment of students with autism spectrum. This resource helps those with autism spectrum disorder learn how they can become better and more effective readers. Foreword by Brenda Smith Myles, PhD.

Civil Defense and Homeland Security: A Short History of National Preparedness Efforts
|
["U.S. Department of Homeland Security"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
From the air raid warning and plane spotting activities of the Office of Civil Defense in the 1940s, to the Duck and Cover film strips and backyard shelters of the 1950s, to today’s all-hazards preparedness programs led by the Department of Homeland Security, Federal strategies to enhance the nation’s preparedness for disaster and attack have evolved over the course of the 20th century and into the 21st. Presidential administrations can have a powerful impact on both national and citizen preparedness. By recommending funding levels, creating new policies, and implementing new programs; successive administrations have adapted preparedness efforts to align with changing domestic priorities and foreign policy goals. They have also instituted administrative reorganizations that reflected their preference for consolidated or dispersed civil defense and homeland security responsibilities within the Federal government. Programs were seldom able to get ahead of world events, and were ultimately challenged in their ability to answer the public’s need for protection from threats due to bureaucratic turbulence created by frequent reorganization, shifting funding priorities, and varying levels of support by senior policymakers. This in turn has had an effect on the public’s perception of national preparedness. Public awareness and support have waxed and waned over the years, as the government’s emphasis on national preparedness has shifted. An analysis of the history of civil defense and homeland security programs in the United States clearly indicates that to be considered successful, national preparedness programs must be long in their reach yet cost effective. They must also be appropriately tailored to the Nation’s diverse communities, be carefully planned, capable of quickly providing pertinent information to the populace about imminent threats, and able to convey risk without creating unnecessary alarm. The following narrative identifies some of the key trends, drivers of change, and lessons learned in the history of U.S. national preparedness programs. A review of the history of these programs will assist the Federal government in its efforts to develop and implement effective homeland security policy and better understand previous national preparedness initiatives.

Cora discovers her father is in trouble… and the only person who can help her is the enemy’s son, Nick Holloway.
Her father couldn’t have stolen a million dollars, so how is he going to replace it? In one week?
Nick claims he wants to help Cora and says he’s deceiving the Hollways to keep her safe…but what if he’s playing both sides? He could be using her attraction to him against her. Nick is ordered to take Cora out into the wilderness to a remote cabin to keep her father in line. Cora can’t allow herself to trust Nick, no matter how sexy he is.
Nick isn’t the only one offering to help. Alexander Pierce could scare the devil but he can also track down anyone in a day. He warns Cora that if she wants to find her father alive, he’s the way.
Soon she’s running from her feelings for Nick, running from creepy Alexander and the rest of the Holloways, and trying to find her father somewhere in the city of Eugene. To make matters worse, everyone thinks she has access to the missing money.

Indigeneity: Collected Essays
|
["John Brown Childs"]
| 4.33 | 3 | null |
These essays take as point of departure John Brown Childs' concept of "transcommunality," defined as a dialogue between communities that emphasizes respect for diverse histories yet acknowledges at the same time that there exist shared linkages involving the struggle over the right to territory and control of resources, knowledge production, and self-determination. The essays create transcommunal dialogues by underscoring the importance of international ties between Indigenous Peoples and communities due to shared histories of resistance and resilience in the face of violent colonialisms, modernity's homogenizing narratives, and the ongoing challenges produced by increasing (neo) globalization. Resulting from an original conference held at the University of California-Berkeley, the volume incorporates a variety of perspectives that are at once wide-ranging and profound. The contributors include representatives of new generations and more established Native intellectuals from the North and South, and each essay makes connections between the past and the present and alter-native ways of knowing. By calling on us to re-member dis-membered histories and spaces, the book becomes a compelling model of and for the re-indigenization of cultural belonging. --Marcia Stephenson Finally, we have a well-informed collection of beautifully written critical essays on the burgeoning Global Indigenous Peoples' movement. Designed for effective use as a higher education text, Indigeneity is a unique collection that reflects the passion and intelligence of the contributors. --Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

Shakespeare and the Arts of Language
|
["Russ McDonald"]
| 4.16 | 37 | 4 |
Written in a lucid, non-technical style, this book starts with the story of how the English language changed throughout the sixteenth century. Subsequent chapters define Shakespeare's main artistic tools and illustrate their poetic and theatrical Renaissance rhetoric, imagery
and metaphor, blank verse, prose speech, and wordplay. The conclusion surveys Shakespeare's multiple and often conflicting ideas about language, encompassing both his enthusiasm at what words can do for us and his suspicion of what words can do to us.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 36. Chapters: Violence in Pakistan 2006-09, List of serving generals of the Pakistan Army, Structure of the Pakistan Army, Pakistan Military Academy, Pakistan Rangers, Modern equipment of the Pakistan Army, Pakistan Ordnance Factories, Command and Staff College, National Defence University, Pakistan, Qazi Altaf Hussain, Kharian Cantonment, Gora Prai airstrike, Engineer-in-Chief, Cantonments, Defence Science and Technology Organization, Inter Services Public Relations, Pakistan Army FC, Lieutenant General, Bakhtiar Rana, Army Public College of Management Sciences, Pakistani Order of Battle in FATA, Sihala. Excerpt: This is a list of violent incidents in Pakistan since 2006. Violence increased in 2006, in part because the US/NATO strategy from 2005 of attacking the Taliban in their stronghold in South Afghanistan (including Helmand), lead to incidents on the Pakistani side of the border. The Pakistan Army (Urdu: ) is the branch of the Pakistani Armed Forces responsible for land-based military operations. The Pakistan Army came into existence after the Partition of India and the resulting independence of Pakistan in 1947. It is currently headed by General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. The Pakistan Army is a volunteer professional fighting force. It has an active force of 612,000 personnel. The Pakistani constitution contains a provision for conscription, but it has never been imposed. Since independence, the Army has been involved in four wars with neighbouring India and several border skirmishes with Afghanistan. It maintained division and brigade strength presences in some of the Arab countries during the past Arab-Israeli Wars, and aided the Coalition in the first Gulf War. Other major operations undertaken by the Army include Operation Black Thunderstorm and Operation Rah-e-Nijat. Apart from conflicts, the Army has been an active p...

When Commander Toad and the crew of the Star Warts learn that a disaster has struck and asteroid, they race across the galaxy to the rescue.

Postcolonial Criticism
|
["Bart J. Moore-Gilbert"]
| 3.88 | 8 | null |
Post-colonial theory is a relatively new area in critical contemporary studies, having its foundations more Postcolonial Criticism brings together some of the most important critical writings in the field, and aims to present a clear overview of, and introduction to, one of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of contemporary literary criticism. It charts the development of the field both historically and conceptually, from its beginnings in the early post-war period to the present day.
The first phase of postcolonial criticism is recorded here in the pioneering work of thinkers like Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Edward Said, and Gayatri Spivak. More recently, a new generation of academics have provided fresh assessments of the interaction of class, race and gender in cultural production, and this generation is represented in the work of Aijaz Ahmad, bell hooks, Homi Bhabha, Abdul JanMohamed and David Lloyd. Topics covered include negritude, national culture, orientalism, subalternity, ambivalence, hybridity, white settler societies, gender and colonialism, culturalism, commonwealth literature, and minority discourse.
The collection includes an extensive general introduction which clearly sets out the key stages, figures and debates in the field. The editors point to the variety, even conflict, within the field, but also stress connections and parallels between the various figures and debates which they identify as central to an understanding of it. The introduction is followed by a series of ten essays which have been carefully chosen to reflect both the diversity and continuity of postcolonial criticism. Each essay is supported by a short introduction which places it in context with the rest of the author's work, and identifies how its salient arguments contribute to the field as a whole.
This is a field which covers many disciplines including literary theory, cultural studies, philosophy, geography, economics, history and politics. It is designed to fit into the current modular arrangement of courses, and is therefore suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate courses which address postcolonial issues and the 'new' literatures in English.

La violence monothéiste
|
["SOLER-J"]
| 4.25 | 4 | 1 |
Il y a violence et violence. Jean Soler s'attache tudier ici la violence qui est pratique pour des raisons religieuses. Dans le prolongement de sa trilogie Aux origines du Dieu unique, il soutient que l'extrmisme qui se traduit sous nos yeux par des massacres collectifs n'est pas la drive accidentelle que peut subir, passagrement, n'importe quelle religion, c'est une tendance inhrente aux trois religions monothistes, qui trouve sa source dans l'idologie biblique. Pour nous en convaincre, l'auteur confronte le monde de la Bible deux civilisations polythistes qui se sont formes la mme poque, la civilisation grecque et la civilisation chinoise. Ni l'une ni l'autre n'a justifi l'usage de la violence au nom d'un dieu et elles n'ont pas connu de guerres de religion. Jean Soler s'est attard sur la civilisation grecque parce que notre propre civilisation est ne au confluent de la Grce et d'Isral. C'est ainsi que ce livre comporte dans sa partie centrale un Parallle entre Athnes et Jrusalem. L'auteur examine ensuite l'influence qu'a eue le modle biblique, avec sa propension l'extrmisme, sur l'Occident devenu chrtien, et sur les terres musulmanes. Il dcle cette influence jusque dans des doctrines qui n'ont rien, en apparence, de religieux, comme le marxisme et l'hitlrisme. Il nous fait faire par ce biais un parcours de la pense humaine de l'Antiquit nos jours.

“What were the inspiration and the creation process of this book like?”
Paula McLain decided to take in this amazing adventure of writing about the youth of Ernest Hemingway through his wife eyes when she started to read his memoir – A Moveable Feast.
As McLain was reading A Moveable Feast by Hemmingway-which is a memoir that talked about the author’s younger years in Paris-she was stunned by his last words in the book saying, “I wished I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.” Lonely as it sounded, McLain found herself researching for each of Hemmingway’s and Hadley’s biographies including the love letters they wrote to each other. She eventually fell in love with Hadley’s character and strength as a woman and was instantly overwhelmed by their riveting love

With nothing and no one to hold him, Cass is led back East by the sudden arrival of a mysterious land deed, back to Scotch River, Nova Scotia, and the sketchy boyhood memories he left to die there. In this dark and beautifully written novel, acclaimed author Linda Little introduces an unforgettable cast of characters bound together by the mysteries of blood and the burdens of memory. As it unveils its secrets, Scotch River deftly weaves a profound and deeply moving story of family love in all its ardour and the heartbreaking, indelible acts performed in its name.

The Journal of Lost Mine Canyon
|
["Robert L Desmarais"]
| 4 | 1 | null |
The ground shook with such force that the the mountain began to crumble right where Abe Ransom had his camp. He dodged the first few boulders and slabs of granite, but a major rock slide caught him before he could get clear of the area. He became covered along with his gold discovery. It was over a hundred and forty years later that Abe's journal was discovered in a pile of rock that mother nature had rearranged. Jim Ward was on a deer hunting trip where he discovered the old leather-bound book and a few items that showed someone had been in the area a long time ago. Jim knew who to give the book to, someone who could get the story out of it. Jake Marshall owned a mining and treasure hunting business and had the resources to research and possibly find a lost treasure. This treasure hunt took the men to the utmost limits of their abilities and endurance, and Mother Nature gave them some tastes of Hell, but the treasure was there, just like the old journal described, two hundred pounds of gold.

["Lucian of Samosata"]
| 4.19 | 21 | 1 |
Lucian (ca. 120-190 CE), the satirist from Samosata on the Euphrates, started as an apprentice sculptor, turned to rhetoric and visited Italy and Gaul as a successful travelling lecturer, before settling in Athens and developing his original brand of satire. Late in life he fell on hard times and accepted an official post in Egypt.
Although notable for the Attic purity and elegance of his Greek and his literary versatility, Lucian is chiefly famed for the lively, cynical wit of the humorous dialogues in which he satirises human folly, superstition and hypocrisy. His aim was to amuse rather than to instruct. Among his best works are "A True Story" (the tallest of tall stories about a voyage to the moon), "Dialogues of the Gods" (a 'reductio ad absurdum' of traditional mythology), "Dialogues of the Dead" (on the vanity of human wishes), "Philosophies for Sale" (great philosophers of the past are auctioned off as slaves), "The Fisherman" (the degeneracy of modern philosophers), "The Carousal" or "Symposium" (philosophers misbehave at a party), "Timon" (the problems of being rich), "Twice Accused" (Lucian's defence of his literary career) and (if by Lucian) "The Ass" (the amusing adventures of a man who is turned into an ass).
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Lucian is in eight volumes.

Why do zombies scare us? Are they merely our own fear of death given form? Is it their corrupted, rotted appearance or that they retain the appearance of those we once loved? Or is it simply that they want to eat us, and there are always more, and more and more of them hungering for our still-living flesh? In this collection of flash fiction-stories that assault our senses, and then end before we know what's hit us, you'll find some answers to these questions. You may also never look at a graveyard the same way again...-Chris Allinotte

Our Daily Bread: Glimpsing the Eucharist through the Centuries
|
["Ralph Wright OSB"]
| 3.67 | 3 | null |
In his encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia, Pope John Paul II expressed the hope that both priests and faithful should grow in their astonishment, their "stunned wonder," at this amazing way God has given us to experience, already on earth, our union with him―the eucharist. As a person leafs through the pages of this book, passing from century to century, he may sample the writing of one of his favorite saints. From St. Paul to the Corinthians, the earliest account in writing that survives of the eucharist, through Francis of Assisi, Julian of Norwich, up to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta and Pope Benedict XVI, each century, from the first through the 21st, is represented. Readers will discover a whole new attitude to Jesus’ real presence, or perhaps see their very own devotional attitude reflected in the words of someone writing over fifteen hundred years ago. It is hoped that these poems, hymns and readings will provide a deepening of faith and a stimulus to prayer. †

Helkavirsiä on Eino Leinon (1878-1926) vastaansanomattomia mestariteoksia. Se ilmestyi kahtena sarjana, ensimmäinen 1903 ja toinen 1916. Kaksi Leinon ensimmäiseen sarjaan myöhemmin liittämää runoa oli tosin kirjoitettu jo aikaisemmin ja ilmestynyt 1902.
Nuori aikalainen Juhani Siljo kirjoitti ensimmäisestä sarjasta: "Rohkeampaa yritystä ei yhdenkään suomalaisen lyyrikon mielikuvitus ole suorittanut kuin Eino Leinon hänen Helkavirsissään… nämä oudot, syvältä rotumme mystillisimmästä menneisyydestä kumpuilevat näyt avasivat parhaaseen voimaansa ehtineelle runoilijalle maailman, jonka valloittamiseen hänen kannatti koota koko henkinen mahtinsa… koettaa oman rodun ja omien mieskohtaisten elämysten läpi avata perspektiivi koko yleisinhimilliseen elämään… siinä teko, joka edellytti sellaista kalevalaisten laulajien nykyaikaista jälkeläistä kuin Eino Leino oli."

Constitutional Politics: Essays on Constitution Making, Maintenance, and Change.
|
["Sotirios A. Barber"]
| 4 | 2 | null |
What does it mean to have a constitution? Scholars and students associated with Walter Murphy at Princeton University have long asked this question in their exploration of constitutional politics and judicial behavior. These scholars, concerned with the making, maintenance, and deliberate change of the Constitution, have made unique and significant contributions to our understanding of American constitutional law by going against the norm of court-centered and litigation-minded research. Beginning in the late 1970s, this new wave of academics explored questions ranging from the nature of creating the U.S. Constitution to the philosophy behind amending it.
In this collection, Sotirios A. Barber and Robert P. George bring together fourteen essays by members of this Princeton group--some of the most distinguished scholars in the field. These works consider the meaning of having a constitution, the implications of particular choices in the design of constitutions, and the meaning of judicial supremacy in the interpretation of the Constitution. The overarching ambition of this collection is to awaken a constitutionalist consciousness in its readers--to view themselves as potential makers and changers of constitutions, as opposed to mere subjects of existing arrangements.
In addition to the editors, the contributors are Walter F. Murphy, John E. Finn, Christopher L. Eisgruber, James E. Fleming, Jeffrey K. Tulis, Suzette Hemberger, Stephen Macedo, Sanford Levinson, H. N. Hirsch, Wayne D. Moore, Keith E. Whittington, and Mark E. Brandon.

Hormones and Brain Plasticity
|
["Luis Miguel Garcia-Segura"]
| 3 | 1 | null |
The nervous system has a remarkable capacity for self-reorganization, and in this first systematic analysis of the interaction between hormones and brain plasticity, Luis Miguel Garcia-Segura proposes that hormones modulate metaplasticity in the brain. He covers a wide variety of hormones, brain regions, and neuroplastic events, and also provides a new theoretical background with which to interpret the interaction of hormones and brain remodeling throughout the entire life of the organism.
Garcia-Segura argues that hormones are indispensable for adequately adapting the endogenous neuroplastic activity of the brain to the incessant modifications in external and internal environments. Their regulation of neuroplastic events in a given moment predetermines new neuroplastic responses that will occur in the future, adapting brain reorganization to changing physiological and behavioral demands throughout the life of the organism. The cross-regulation of brain plasticity and hormones integrates information originated in multiple endocrine glands and body organs with information coming from the external world in conjunction with the previous history of the organism. Multiple hormonal signals act in concert to regulate the generation of morphological and functional changes in neural cells, as well as the replacement of neurons, glial, and endothelial cells in neural networks. Brain remodeling, in turn, is involved in controlling the activity of the endocrine glands and regulating hormonal secretions. This bidirectional adjustment of brain plasticity in response to hormonal inputs, and adjustment of hormonal concentrations in response to neuroplastic events are crucial for maintaining the stability of the inner milieu and for the generation of adequate behavioral responses in anticipation of--and in adaptation to--new social and environmental circumstances and life events, including pathological conditions.

Mending Dreams
|
["Bonnie Schroeder"]
| 4.13 | 24 | 9 |
Susan Krajewski seems to have it all: career, boyfriend, strong social network. She's even stayed friends with her ex-husband Frank, despite the fact that he left her when he fell in love with another man. Beneath the surface, however, you'll find a different Susan: a woman masking seriously damaged self esteem and great emotional pain. When Frank is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Susan's carefully structured world begins to disintegrate. Although she's convinced herself that she's no longer in love with Frank, when he and his life partner, Clayton, ask for her help, Susan can't refuse. She stands by Frank in his final days, juggling his needs with those of her boyfriend Noah, and with the demands of her career. Susan pays a steep price for her loyalty. Caught up in his own family crisis, Noah abandons her. She loses her job. Then Frank dies, and Susan is ambushed by a riptide of grief she can't control. In the aftermath of Frank's death, Susan quarrels with her best friend Margaret, who doesn't offer the kind of sympathy Susan wants. But how could anyone know the depth of Susan's loss? She's worked hard at hiding her feelings. As Susan sifts through the wreckage of her life, she wrestles with her fears and emotional scars and comes to accept that she can't heal without help. She acknowledges all that she's lost and realizes all that she still has. Along the way, she finds love and support in unexpected places, and as she begins to heal, she comes to understand that, painful as they can sometimes be, it's her ties to others that make life worth living.

Enchantments
|
["Kathryn Harrison"]
| 3.2 | 2,449 | 416 |
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
From Kathryn Harrison, one of America’s most admired literary voices, comes a gorgeously written, enthralling novel set in the final days of Russia’s Romanov Empire.
St. Petersburg, 1917. After Rasputin’s body is pulled from the icy waters of the Neva River, his eighteen-year-old daughter, Masha, is sent to live at the imperial palace with Tsar Nikolay and his family—including the headstrong Prince Alyosha. Desperately hoping that Masha has inherited Rasputin’s miraculous healing powers, Tsarina Alexandra asks her to tend to Aloysha, who suffers from hemophilia, a blood disease that keeps the boy confined to his sickbed, lest a simple scrape or bump prove fatal.
Two months after Masha arrives at the palace, the tsar is forced to abdicate, and Bolsheviks place the royal family under house arrest. As Russia descends into civil war, Masha and Alyosha grieve the loss of their former lives, finding solace in each other’s company. To escape the confinement of the palace, they tell stories—some embellished and some entirely imagined—about Nikolay and Alexandra’s courtship, Rasputin’s many exploits, and the wild and wonderful country on the brink of an irrevocable transformation. In the worlds of their imagination, the weak become strong, legend becomes fact, and a future that will never come to pass feels close at hand.
Mesmerizing, haunting, and told in Kathryn Harrison’s signature crystalline prose, Enchantments is a love story about two people who come together as everything around them is falling apart.

The Films of John G. Avildsen: Rocky, The Karate Kid and Other Underdogs
|
["Larry Powell"]
| 3.25 | 4 | null |
The life and work of American director John G. Avildsen is thoroughly examined in this detailed filmography and critical study. Each of the most significant films made by the Oscar-winning Avildsen is given a separate chapter, including such critical successes as Joe and Save the Tiger , and box-office blockbusters Rocky and its sequels and the Karate Kid series. The authors' observations on these and other titles--some well known, others less familiar--are enhanced by extensive production notes, and by commentary from John G. Avildsen himself. Cinema historian Jean Bodon of Sam Houston State University provides a foreword.

New Media Dramaturgy: Performance, Media and New-Materialism
|
["Peter Eckersall"]
| 3 | 1 | null |
This book illuminates the shift in approaches to the uses of theatre and performance technology in the past twenty-five years and develops an account of new media dramaturgy (NMD), an approach to theatre informed by what the technology itself seems to want to say. Born of the synthesis of new media and new dramaturgy, NMD is practiced and performed in the work of a range of important artists from dumb type and their 1989 analog-industrial machine performance pH , to more recent examples from the work of Kris Verdonck and his A Two Dogs Company. Engaging with works from a range of artists and companies Blast Theory, Olafur Eliasson, Nakaya Fujiko and Janet Cardiff, we see a range of extruded performative technologies operating overtly on, with and against human bodies alongside more subtle dispersed, interactive and experiential media.

Berthe Morisot
|
["Marianne Mathieu"]
| 3.88 | 8 | 1 |
Berthe Morisot (1841–1895) was one of only a handful of women who exhibited both at the famed Paris Salon and with the French Impressionists. Her exquisite work depicts the world of the Parisian their clothes, their life-styles, their surroundings, and their relationships. Over one hundred full-color paintings, graphic works, watercolors, and pastels are reproduced in this volume, and are accompanied by original commentaries that follow the artist's career from her training with Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot to her final work. Included in the volume is an essay that Morisot wrote about her nephew-in-law Paul Valéry in 1948—a seminal text that has never been included in his collected works—as well as extensive correspondence and sketchbooks held at the Musée Marmottan Monet, which have rarely been accessible. Morisot has been hailed by historians as one of the forgotten women artists of the 19th century, and this volume helps to reveal her artistic influence on her better-known peers.

Lungs of My Earth: A Personal Ecology

["William Henry Searle"]

“Lungs of My Earth evokes particular places dear to the author, sweeping them into our imaginations with a rush of delighted language to create ‘a luminous map of the sacred’. Part field-work and part sky-dreaming, it is at once exact and exultant—a vibrant song to the earth and echo chamber of the earth’s own singing.” —Sir Andrew Motion, UK Poet Laureate, 1999-2009, President of the Campaign to Protect Rural England

Ecological Revolutions: Nature, Gender, and Science in New England
|
["Carolyn Merchant"]
| 4.06 | 67 | 4 |
By exploring the stages of ecological transformation that took place in New England as European settlers took control of the land, Carolyn Merchant develops a fresh approach to environmental history. Her analysis of how human communities are related to their environment opens a perspective that goes beyond overt changes in the landscape. Merchant brings to light the dense network of links between the human realm of economic regimes, social structure, and gender relations, as they are conditioned by a dominant worldview, and the ecological realm of plant and animal life. Thus we see how the integration of the Indians with their natural world was shattered by Europeans who engaged in exhaustive methods of hunting, trapping, and logging for the market and in widespread subsistence farming. The resulting "colonial ecological revolution" was to hold sway until roughly the time of American independence, when the onset of industrialization and increasing urbanization brought about the "capitalist ecological revolution." By the late nineteenth century, Merchant argues, New England had become a society that viewed the whole ecosphere as an arena for human domination. One can see in New England a "mirror of the world," she says. What took place there between 1600 and 1850 was a greatly accelerated recapitulation of the evolutionary ecological changes that had occurred in Europe over a span of 2,500 years.

Two Mountains and a River
|
["H.W. Tilman"]
| 4.3 | 10 | 1 |
Cambridge, 1949, 1st edition. 233 pp, 84 photos, 6 maps (1 foldout), index. Attempts to climb Rakaposhi, Mustagh Ata, and visit to the source of the Oxus River.
A scarce book, this is one of the classic mid-twentieth century texts for mountaineers, explorers and adventurers, in which the author treks and climbs including Kashgar, Tashkurghan, Rakaposhi, the Kukuay Glacier, The Fainyor Nallah, Muztagh Ata, Kashgar, the source of the Oxus, Sarhad, Gilgit, and Ishkashim (where the author was arrested!), and others. The book has the noted Tilman qualities: sense of place, descriptive powers, never-failing humor, affection for many kinds of men, and a not too intolerant hate for a few. A unique work by a noted traveler, writer, and raconteur.
From the dust jacket:
When a couple of years ago Mr Tilman left with us a MS. of his book Mount Everest, 1938, he arranged for his own executors to deal with proofs, pictures, maps and index, and went out of civilization. He returned to England some months later. Few of his friends knew what he had been up to. This new book, Two Mountains and a River, now reveals everything.
It appears that he and two Swiss mountaineers went together to the Gilgit region of the Himalaya with the ambitious project of an attack on Rakaposhi (25,550 ft.). Rakaposhi beat them.
After defeat Tilman went on alone to Chinese Turkistan, having an appointment with an old Everest colleague, Mr E. E. Shipton, British Consul at Sinkiang, for a private attempt on the Father of Ice-Mountains which Sven Hedin had four times attempted. They did not reach the summit of their mountain, both got frost-bitten toes, and they had to give up that part of their ambition; but they did some heavy travelling among strange towns, which provided Tilman with just the travel copy he handles and photographs best.
Finally, Tilman alone took an alternative return route, which included a crossing of the frontier of Afghanistan (for which he had no visa) where he had an anxious and angering setback, being arrested as a spy by strange Afghan officials, and handed on under guard from town to town, until his final release.
The book has the Tilman qualities, sense of place, descriptive powers, never-failing humour, affection for many kinds of men, and a not too intolerant hate for a few. It is risky to say that Tilman reminds one of Borrow, but there is no doubt that this book will maintain his unique reputation as a traveller, writer, and raconteur.

***************************************
Biography from Wikipedia:
Major Harold William 'Bill' Tilman, CBE, DSO, MC and Bar (14 February 1898–1977) was a mountaineer and explorer, famous for his Himalayan climbs and sailing voyages.
Tilman was born on 14 February 1898 in Wallasey in Cheshire, the son of a well-to-do sugar merchant, and educated at Berkhamsted Boys School. At the age of 18, Tilman joined the British Army and fought in the First World War, including the Battle of the Somme, and was twice awarded the Military Cross for bravery. His climbing career, however, began with his acquaintance with Eric Shipton in Kenya, East Africa, where they were both coffee growers. Beginning with their joint traverse of Mount Kenya in 1929 and their ascents of Kilimanjaro and the fabled 'Mountains of the Moon' Ruwenzori, Shipton and Tilman formed one of the most famed partnerships in mountaineering history. When it came time to leave Africa, Tilman was not content with merely flying home, but rode a bicycle across the continent to the West Coast where he embarked for England.
He later volunteered for service in the Second World War, seeing action in North Africa, and on the beaches at Dunkirk. He then was dropped by parachute behind enemy lines to fight with Albanian and Italian partisans, was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his efforts, and the keys to the city of Belluno which he helped save from occupation and destruction.
Tilman was involved in two of the 1930s Mount Everest expeditions – participating in the 1935 Reconnaissance Expedition, and reaching 27,200 feet without oxygen as the expedition leader in 1938. After penetrating the Nanda Devi sanctuary with Eric Shipton in 1934, Tilman went on to the first ascent of Nanda Devi with Noel Odell in 1936. During his extensive exploration of the areas of Langtang, Ganesh and Manang in 1949 he was the first to ascend Paldor, 5896 meters, and found the pass named after him beyond Gangchempo.
Following his military career behind enemy lines in the Second World War, Tilman took up deep sea sailing. Sailing in deep seas on the cutter Mischief, which he purchased in 1954, and subsequently on his other pilot cutters Sea Breeze and Baroque, Tilman voyaged to Arctic and Antarctic waters in search of new and uncharted mountains to climb. Tilman disappeared during a sailing trip to climb Smith Island in the Antarctic in 1977. He had accompanied the youthful Simon Richardson and his crew aboard an old converted steel tug. They made it successfully and without incident to Rio de Janeiro, but disappeared without trace on their way to the Falkland Islands. Tilman was almost 80 years of age.
He has been described by some as a self-indulgent risk-taker, impervious to the sensitivities of others; one who had little time for those who didn’t live up to his high standards and expectations; and he was even accused of disliking women. In reality, these labels were grossly inaccurate, for he was in fact a very shy, private man who was self-effacing and hated publicity. He was a deep thinker, an avid reader of the classics, and although he never married, he adored his sister and two nieces with whom he lived when not on some distant shore.
Tilman had a great sense of humor, perhaps too subtle for many of his listeners. It was one of his greatest joys to laugh at himself, and see the funny side of life's little foibles. An example is his 'discovery' of Tilman's Disease, characterized as 'the inability to put one foot before the other.' He wrote seven books about his mountain travels, and eight books on his years sailing to extreme climates. One of the last 'gentleman adventurers,' Bill Tilman's stoic and courageous exploits have earned him a place of honor as one of the greatest in the pantheon of explorers.

["Nate Jones"]

When Drew started seeing ghosts he thought he was crazy, and so did everyone else. He had the bad luck of seeing the first one in public, and not only did all his friends and family get to see him freak out but the entire thing was caught on video and became a mini meme. Drew's spent the last two years trying to move past the humiliating incident, with no idea that he'd had his first glimpse into a magical world that has withdrawn into pocket realities to escape the advance of the mundane world. Now, entering high school as a freshman, he quickly finds his hope that things will be different in a new school shattered as the teasing becomes even worse. But that all changes while Drew is running from a classmate who's picked on him all through junior high, when he makes a discovery that will plunge him fully into the magical world. A world of creatures such as dwarves, dryads, and titans where legends are real and he faces constant danger. What's worse, thanks to his intervention he finds himself in the middle of a race for the pieces of a powerful artifact that could destroy the world. Or save it.

["Eucanaã Ferraz"]
| 3.6 | 10 | 1 |
Carlos Drummond de Andrade, João Cabral de Melo Neto, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Cazuza, Gilberto Gil, Vinicius de Moraes, Noel Rosa, Aldir Blanc, Adriana Calcanhotto, Ana Cristina César, Antonio Cícero, Armando Freitas Filho, Ferreira Gullar, Francisco Alvim, Manuel Bandeira, Mário Quintana, Murilo Mendes, Oswald de Andrade e Waly Salomão, luminosos da literatura e da música, mestres da nossa educação sentimental, estão reunidos pela primeira vez em um mesmo volume nesta antologia organizada pelo poeta e Professor de Literatura Brasileira Eucanaã Ferraz. Na magia de seus versos, a arte como veneno contra o vazio, o medo, a falta de imaginação. Em cada texto um convite para a vida. João Cabral revela como às vezes a gente canta só para sentir-se existente. Um poema pode salvar um afogado, prescreve Mario Quintana, palavra como dose de remédio, alegria, loucura ou vontade de cometer loucura, espantar a melancolia, desprezar a morte. É o que celebram estes versos, assim é que transpiram, pulsam e expulsam a falta de vigor. Contra o tédio, como lindamente recita Cazuza, é só do que precisamos - de algum veneno antimonotonia.

Where would a crew be without their leader? That is the question everyone must ask. The crew has been cut off by the Russians, they are running out of product. The new hustler on the block, Sonny, is now being supplied by the Russians. He and his crew are on the fast track to take over the city.
During the turbulent times Antwan held the position of leader as best he could, but now Slim is home. After being attacked by the Italian mob, but surviving, Slim is released from prison to serve the rest of his six months on house arrest. It is all the charismatic and cunning leader needs to run his crew. To be around his people to call shots and to be around his woman Mari, who is pregnant with his child.

Killer Vacation------------------Mystery Novel------------------108,405 words
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like a fast-flitting meteor, a fast flying cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
He passes from life to his rest in the grave.
-------William Knox, (1789-1825)
The world is a comedy to those that think,
a tragedy to those who feel.
--------Horace Walpole, (1717-1797)
But if you bite and devour one another, watch out
that you are not consumed by one another.
------------Galatians, 5: 15
The Alderson family just won a free week’s vacation to a spectacular home near Chesapeake Bay. Fun and good times seem to await Heather, Cliff and their two children. What they experience, though, is the end of their lives.
Detective Alec Zander is called in to help with the investigation. The horrific crime scene sets him on the path to find the fiendish killer. The first puzzle is that the San Diego family is 3000 miles away from home. Is this some random slaying? However, none of their valuables were taken, and yet the killings looked very controlled. A maniac was not at work here.
Alec begins to investigate Heather and Cliff’s lives and finds secrets and enemies. The two doctors did not always abide by their medical mantra of do no harm. Suspects abound in San Diego, but Alec begins to find clues leading him back to his own territory. He knows he’s getting closer to a solution when attempts are made on his life. Someone is trying to have him take a permanent vacation.
John Osipowicz was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and graduated (cum laude) from the University of Notre Dame. After college he worked in advertising for the Chicago Tribune, but then migrated into teaching mainly in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Currently he lives across from a horse farm, thirty miles west of Philly. He has a dog old enough for Social Security, and a cat so fat it’s been mistaken for a raccoon. His hobbies are whimsy and leisure. The key to writing, he feels, is the ability to construct the next sentence.
Being named John Osipowicz has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that I’m usually referred to by my first name—the disadvantage is that maybe six people in my lifetime have pronounced my name correctly. To aid you in perhaps becoming the 7th Guinness Book of Records pronunceer, the last name goes like “O.C.—puv—itch.”
My parents loved me dearly but spoke maybe 27 words to me my entire growing up period. As a result, I did develop a full internal world, for which I’m eternally grateful. If you’re not already familiar with it, I can refer you to Edgar Lee Masters’ poem, “Silence,” where he reveals all sorts of different kinds of the silence of loss, the silence of misunderstanding etc. etc. Silence is its own reality, not the absence of reality. Because my parents didn’t speak very much, I had time for thinking. I still enjoy that kind of silence. And for me to write I need that silence, so that words can be the sound I hear.
