" Whenever people face sadness and tragedy then complimenting something that comes out of it becomes harder. This book provides the nation with a rich detailed lived history, which did not begin with September 11, 2001. It is an excellent compilation of events, reports and lived experiences. This documented collection of story will give readers a new chance to fill in the gaps within a historical context that Arabs and Muslims Americans have lived in. In the wake of the events of 9/11, since the tears flooded our faces, we have been forced to recount the events that created the bias and hostility toward Muslims, Arabs, and Islam. This book is a must read for those who are willing to consider the possibility that Arab and Muslim Americans should not become the scapegoats for the world''s disharmony." Dr. Sima Imam, Professor of Education at National Louis University, Illinois, and President of American Muslim Civil Rights.The increasing public's curiosity about the Arabs, Muslims and the Arab and Muslim Americans in the United States has been unprecedented. This book explains the phenomenon of stereotypes stigmatizing Arabs and Muslims, and how it has affected their lives, a phenomenon that demonized and dehumanized almost two billion people in this world."

Two members of the gator clan are being held as aquarium exhibits, and a wealthy businessman wants to buy them for his private zoo. Adele is still reeling from the idea of being mated to not one but two shapeshifters, but she agrees to help the clan bring the trapped gators back.
As Adele spends time with Oscar and Xavier, she starts to like the idea of being mated to two sexy shape-shifters. But just as she’s starting to fall in love, everything falls apart. After a botched rescue attempt, blame falls on Adele. Can she find a way to rescue the trapped gators and claim her mates?

Έχει περάσει πολύς καιρός από την ημέρα της αποδημίας του πατέρα μου Νικηφόρου. Ο χρόνος της απουσίας μακραίνει και πολλαπλασιάζεται, καθώς οι παλιές γνώριμες παρουσίες λιγοστεύουν. Νιώθω ότι είμαι ένας από τους τελευταίους φυσικούς μάρτυρες της ζωής του Νικηφόρου. Εκείνος που ακόμη θυμάται, που μπορεί να αναγνωρίζει τους απόντες στις παλιές φωτογραφίες, που μπορεί να συντάξει στο χαρτί σκέψεις ανέκφραστες, χειρονομίες σκόρπιες που δεν έχουν ποτέ καταγραφεί, πράξεις ακαταχώρητες στις παλαιές δέλτους συμβάντων. Είμαι ένα πρόσωπο χρήσιμο, γιατί έχω πληροφορίες και συγχρόνως σαφή επίγνωση των ορίων της επιτρεπόμενης παρέμβασης στην ανάγνωση ενός άλλου ανθρώπινου βίου -πολύ περισσότερο όταν πρόκειται για τη ζωή και το έργο του Νικηφόρου - και επικίνδυνο, γιατί πάντα καιροφυλακτεί ο πειρασμός της προσφυγής σε ερμηνείες, στις οποίες η αλήθεια συμπορεύεται συχνά με την αδιακρισία.

--------------------------------------------------
The silence hangs between them before Oikawa sighs. He pulls off the blanket and starts to take off his shirt. Iwaizumi balks. "Why are you stripping?"
He struggles with Oikawa for a second, trying to stop his friend from becoming half naked right there and then but Oikawa accidentally connects the heel of his palm with Iwaizumi's left eye and he flinches backwards, giving Oikawa ample time to pull off the piece of fabric.
"I've been numbered," Oikawa says simply once the shirt is off and Iwaizumi feels his chest stopper.

Following the tragic death of his wife, D.C.I Damien Caunter is trying to get his complicated life in order when he is thrown into one of the most terrifying cases of his career. A man goes on a rampage across London, attacking prominent symbolic targets and causing a deep ripple of fear across the country. Why is this happening? What's the motivation? Damien has the beady eyes of Westminster and the Secret Service watching his every move. Can he cope with the pressure as he tries to track down a killer before he strikes again? A reclusive and depressed reporter becomes entangled in the mystery. What she discovers could change the course of Damien’s investigation. The pressure is on. The Prime Minister wants answers. Who can Damien trust when the lines of reality and conspiracy become blurred? Bestselling author John Hogarth's debut novel 'The Frequency of Murder' was only denied the Number 1 spot in the UK National eBook Chart by E.L James (50 Shades of Grey) and Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games trilogy). Now he’s back with 'OUT OF CHAOS' a lightning-paced thriller that you will be thinking about for weeks.

Corría el año 1915, cuando sin estimarlo, y poseído por los celos, Rüdiger Manfred Peitz haría que la maldición caiga sin piedad cada treinta años. Los caminos de la Selva Negra en el Suroeste de Alemania fueron, en un principio, el escenario de la maldita caja mecánica. Treinta y cuatro años después, Otis, hijo de una de las víctimas decide viajar a la Argentina llevando consigo la condena que terminará con la vida de una joven. Eliseo Boock, padre de esta se sumergirá en una historia de maldiciones y desdichas. Gracias a un gran descubrimiento, el Sr. Boock, intentará cambiar el curso de la historia, y así con ello evitar las muertes. Esta serie de acontecimientos harán que todo se le vaya de las manos hasta el límite de no existir. Una historia de terror, maldiciones, ciencia y supervivencia en la cual nada de lo que ocurre será por mucho tiempo. La degradación de la materia y los portales energéticos turbaran a Eliseo quien deberá encontrar todas las piezas perdidas en este rompecabezas siniestro, siempre con el riesgo de esfumarse de la historia.

Río subterráneo
|
["Inés Arredondo"]
| 4.07
| 228

|
Para Inés Arredondo la literatura es rebelación. En un libro de relatos anterior (La señal) cazaba el momento central que da sentido a los hechos y los lleva a realizar su destino absoluto. En éste profundiza en el problema metafísico del Mal como no-ser, en esa dialética amorosa en que el romanticismo centró la cuestión: la lucha del Espíritu con la Naturaleza, y del iracundo deseo de plenitud con el amor de iguales que renuncia a su ser para olvidarse en el otro y reencontrarse en la posesión perfecta. Toda forma de amor que peca de exceso es sagrada --nos recuerda-- y en la tragedia del autosacrificio que es la no resistencia al mal, está la posibilidad de absorberlo para digerirlo y aniquilarlo. Esto acontece fuera del tiempo, en ese momento eterno en que se da la comprensión contaminada y carnal de ser otro (a). Quizá sólo los seres enamorados ("hechos pedazos"), o inteligentes hasta la locura, del mundo que aquí se crea alcancen la pureza para enfrentar esa misma cosa que son el cielo y el infierno para quienes "buscan lo que está al otro lado del límite", sin pararse a entender eso tan injusto que nos toca vivir: insania, lascivia, cárcel política, guerrilla, exasperación, deformidad, fragilidad, sangre, enfermedad, traición, abandono, desamor. Literatura de compromiso moral y estético, sabe que la belleza y el bien nos vienen de otro: "Él estaba a su lado porque ella era hermosa y toda su hermosura residía en que él estaba a su lado". En este sentido se trata de un libro de reivindicación, en tanto que intenta unir a quienes Natura separa cuando advierte que marchan hacia la plenitud en que lo sensual y lo espiritual se entrelzan para comprehenderse.

Take Me to the River: Fishing, Swimming, and Dreaming on the San Joaquin

["Joell Hallowell"]
| 4.67

| null |
For ten years, Coke Hallowell and her daughter Joell asked people with deep connections to the San Joaquin, What was your life like along the river? With candor and enthusiasm, people responded. Fishermen, miners, immigrants, Native Americans, hunters, farmers, and environmentalists all clamored to be heard. The result is Take Me to the River a collection of thirty-three deeply personal accounts of life along the San Joaquin. These are stories that capture rare snapshots of river childhoods spent swimming in the river s ice-cold waters, rafting downstream in a rickety boat with friends, spearing fifty-pound chinook salmon year after year, eating fresh figs picked right from a huge tree on the riverbank, dredging for gold during the Depression, building a coalition to restore the river s health, sharing the very last meal before Friant Dam was built and the salmon runs stopped, and many, many fish stories. Take Me to the River recounts the many trials damming, overpopulation, climate change and triumphs that a river undergoes in our times. Each story calls us to discover our own relationships with the natural world and, as a whole, Take Me to the River propels us toward a brighter future one that holds the promise of restoring the health and vigor of the San Jooaquin.

"The Counterfeit Salafis; Deviation of the Counterfeit Salafis From the Methodology of Ahlul Sunnah Wal-Jama’a"; Dar Alarqam Publishers; Ramadan 1425, November 2004.
This book categorizes all those who claim to follow the “Quran and Sunnah” and the way of “Al-Salaf” in general into eight groups. It discusses in brief their opinions on specific issues which they fundamentally differ about. That was only for the purpose of distinguishing between those who took the wrong turn and adopted the wrong views, and those who either adopted the wrong views but did not drift into the wrong attitude toward others, or those who had the guidance of Allah in following the right rulings.

"Ég hafði aldrei lent í svona heimspekilegum hugleiðingum í forleik að kynlífi og tautaði: „Öh, já,“ en reyndi að láta það hljóma eins og pælingu. Það eina sem komst að hjá mér var að toga niðrum hana þröngar gallabuxurnar; lærin á henni voru fjalladalir sem ég þráði að villast í."
Úlfur situr á Þjóðarbókhlöðunni þegar Dísa Eggerts vindur sér að honum með áleitna spurningu. Þetta markar upphafið á vandræðalegu en jafnframt sprenghlægilegu sambandi þar sem Úlfur fylgist heillaður með Dísu rísa til æðstu metorða í rapptónlistar- og bókmenntaheiminum á meðan allt gengur á afturfótunum hjá honum sjálfum.
Sverrir Norland vakti athygli fyrir fyrstu skáldsögu sína, Kvíðasnillingana, sem þótti bera með sér ferska vinda inn í íslenska skáldsagnagerð. Hér dregur hann upp ögrandi mynd af kynslóðinni sem lifir lífi sínu fyrir allra augum; afhjúpar sig á netinu, frelsar á sér geirvörturnar og finnur sig (eða finnur sig ekki) á Tinder.

“‘Life’s so strange,’ she said. ‘Maybe this is the beginning of a beautiful story. Maybe this is the beginning of a sad story—or even a nightmare. It’s so hard to figure people out from first impressions, you know?... We can only uncover someone’s true self a little bit at a time. Which is kind of a scary thought...’ I’d never gotten into this kind of philosophical discussion during foreplay and so I just murmured, ‘Uh...yeah,’ and tried to make it sound like I was thinking. The only thing on my mind was pulling down her skinny jeans—her thighs were mountain valleys that I longed to get lost in.”
Ulfur is sitting in the university library and studying for a test when Disa Eggerts turns around and starts asking him personal questions.
This conversation marks the start of an extremely awkward, yet hilarious love affair. During the course of their relationship, Ulfur watches spellbound as Disa reaches meteoric heights on both the Icelandic hip hop and literary scenes. Meanwhile, however, his own life is in shambles.
Sverrir Norland made a name for himself with his first book, Masters of Anxiety, which was considered a breath of fresh air on the Icelandic literary scene. In his latest work, Sverrir paints a provocative portrait of this generation of young people who live their lives in plain sight—who don’t hesitate to lay themselves bare online, free their nipples in front of the whole world, and who find themselves (or not) on Tinder. 171 pp

Art Theft and the Case of the Stolen Turners
|
["Sandy Nairne"]
| 3.44

| 10
|
In 1994 two important paintings by J.M.W. Turner—then valued at twenty-four million pounds—were stolen from a German public gallery while on loan from Tate Britain. In this vivid, personal account, Sandy Nairne who was then Director of Programmes at the Tate and became centrally involved in the pursuit of the paintings and the negotiations for their return, retells this complex, 8-year, cloak-and-dagger story, which finally concluded in 2002 with the pictures returning to public display at the Tate.
In addition to this thrilling narrative, Nairne unravels stories of other high-value art thefts, puzzling what motivates a thief to steal a well-known work of art that cannot be sold, even on the black market. Nairne also examines the role of art theft within the larger underworld of international looting and illicit deals among art and antique collectors. The art heist, of course, is a popular theme of crime novels and films, and Nairne considers these depictions as well, investigating the imaginative construction of the art thief, the specialist detective, and the mysterious collector.
Art Theft and the Case of the Stolen Turners is a compelling, real-life detective story that will keep both art and mystery lovers eagerly turning pages.

Black Prophetic Fire
|
["Cornel West"]
| 4.15

| 52
|
An unflinching look at nineteenth- and twentieth-century African American leaders and their visionary legacies.
In an accessible, conversational format, Cornel West, with distinguished scholar Christa Buschendorf, provides a fresh perspective on six revolutionary African American Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr., Ella Baker, Malcolm X, and Ida B. Wells. In dialogue with Buschendorf, West examines the impact of these men and women on their own eras and across the decades. He not only rediscovers the integrity and commitment within these passionate advocates but also their fault lines.
West, in these illuminating conversations with the German scholar and thinker Christa Buschendorf, describes Douglass as a complex man who is both “ the towering Black freedom fighter of the nineteenth century” and a product of his time who lost sight of the fight for civil rights after the emancipation. He calls Du Bois “undeniably the most important Black intellectual of the twentieth century” and explores the more radical aspects of his thinking in order to understand his uncompromising critique of the United States, which has been omitted from the American collective memory. West argues that our selective memory has sanitized and even “Santaclausified” Martin Luther King Jr., rendering him less radical, and has marginalized Ella Baker, who embodies the grassroots organizing of the civil rights movement. The controversial Malcolm X, who is often seen as a proponent of reverse racism, hatred, and violence, has been demonized in a false opposition with King, while the appeal of his rhetoric and sincerity to students has been sidelined. Ida B. Wells, West argues, shares Malcolm X’s radical spirit and fearless speech, but has “often become the victim of public amnesia.”
By providing new insights that humanize all of these well-known figures, in the engrossing dialogue with Buschendorf, and in his insightful introduction and powerful closing essay, Cornel West takes an important step in rekindling the Black prophetic fire so essential in the age of Obama.

Last Night I Dreamed of Peace: The Diary of Dang Thuy Tram

["Đặng Thùy Trâm"]

At the age of twenty-four, Dang Thuy Tram volunteered to serve as a doctor in a National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) battlefield hospital in the Quang Ngai Province. Two years later she was killed by American forces not far from where she worked. Written between 1968 and 1970, her diary speaks poignantly of her devotion to family and friends, the horrors of war, her yearning for her high school sweetheart, and her struggle to prove her loyalty to her country. At times raw, at times lyrical and youthfully sentimental, her voice transcends cultures to speak of her dignity and compassion and of her challenges in the face of the war’s ceaseless fury.
The American officer who discovered the diary soon after Dr. Tram’s death was under standing orders to destroy all documents without military value. As he was about to toss it into the flames, his Vietnamese translator said to him, “Don’t burn this one. . . . It has fire in it already.” Against regulations, the officer preserved the diary and kept it for thirty-five years. In the spring of 2005, a copy made its way to Dr. Tram’s elderly mother in Hanoi. The diary was soon published in Vietnam, causing a national sensation. Never before had there been such a vivid and personal account of the long ordeal that had consumed the nation’s previous generations.
Translated by Andrew X. Pham and with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize winner Frances FitzGerald, Last Night I Dreamed of Peace is an extraordinary document that narrates one woman’s personal and political struggles. Above all, it is a story of hope in the most dire of circumstances—told from the perspective of our historic enemy but universal in its power to celebrate and mourn the fragility of human life.

Sex, Gender, and the Politics of ERA: A State and the Nation
|
["Donald G. Mathews"]
| 3.62
| 13
| null |
Sex, Gender, and the Politics of ERA is the most profound and sensitive discussion to date of the way in which women responded to feminism. Drawing on extensive research and interviews, Mathews and De Hart explore the fate of the ERA in North Carolina--one of the three states targeted by both sides as essential to ratification--to reveal the dynamics that stunned supporters across America. The authors insightfully link public discourse and private feelings, placing arguments used throughout the nation in the personal contexts of women who pleaded their cases for and against equality. Beginning with a study of woman suffrage, the book shows how issues of sex, gender, race, and power remained potent weapons on the ERA battlefield. The ideas of such vocal opponents as Phyllis Schlafly and Senator Sam Ervin set the perfect stage for mothers to confess their terror at the violation of their daughters in a post-ERA world, while the prospect of losing ratification to this terror
impelled supporters to shed the white gloves of genteel lobbying for the combat boots of political in-fighting. In the end, the efforts of ERA supporters could neither outweigh the symbolic actions of its opponents nor weaken the resistance of those same legislators to further federal guarantees of equality. Ultimately, opponents succeeded in making equality for women seem dangerous. In thus explaining the ERA controversy, the authors brilliantly illuminate the many meanings of feminism for the American people.

Reflections on the Law of War: Collected Essays
|
["Frits Kalshoven"]
| 4
| 1
| null |
The papers collected in this volume span a 35-year period of active involvement in the 'reaffirmation and development of international humanitarian law'. A process under that name started in 1971 and ended in 1977 with the adoption of two Protocols Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, one for international and one for internal armed conflicts. Subsequent developments brought a narrowing of this gap between international and internal armed conflicts, as well as growing recognition of the interplay between the law of armed conflict and human rights, the rediscovery of individual criminal liability for violations of international humanitarian law, the introduction of further prohibitions or restrictions on the use of specified weapons, and so on.
In contrast with these positive developments, the period was negatively characterised by increasing disrespect, not only for some or other minor rule (such as what to do with cash taken from a prisoner of war at the time of his capture) but for the very principles underlying the entire body of the law of armed respect for the other as a human being and, hence, humane treatment of prisoners of war and other detainees, protection of civilians...
Throughout the period, the author's activities ranged from participation in lawmaking and law interpreting exercises, through attempts at explaining the law of armed conflict in its historical context and making propaganda for its faithful implementation, to critical or even bewildered observance of actual events. The papers brought together here reflect these diverse angles.

The Last Trolley Stop: Memories of Poverty, Bigotry, and Religiosity in Washington, D.C. and Rural Kentucky during the Great Depression
|
["Heber Bouland"]
| 4
| 2
| null |
The Last Trolley Stop , Heber Bouland’s eyewitness account of the Great Depression, gives a candid and honest examination of a pivotal time in American history. His narrative has humor, the naughty, and the tragic. When President Roosevelt was inaugurated for the first time, Heber Bouland was a few weeks shy of his fifth birthday and too young to understand the many effects of the Great Depression that surrounded him. Bouland lived with his family in Takoma Park, at the northern edge of Washington, DC, a neighborhood of contradictions. A US senator lived there in a fine house. White homebuyers signed agreements not to resell to "coloreds." Seventh-day Adventists, a nationwide religious minority, were dominant there. Yet this privileged, segregated community also included two small poverty-stricken ghettos inhabited by African-Americans—the very "darkies" the whites were so desperate to avoid. Visits to his uncle’s small tobacco farm in western Kentucky, where he witnessed toddlers laboring in tobacco fields, gave him a rural perspective of the depression. Bouland saw firsthand the devastating effects of depression era bigotry, religious hypocrisy, and poverty—effects he accepted as a child, but that appalled him as an adult.

He has starred in The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, El Cid, 55 Days in Peking, Planet of the Apes, Omega Man, and Soylent Green, to name a few. Sadly, in this age of social media, reality television, and political correctness, today's generation know him only for his hard right point of views and his outspoken nature. Mack Dunstan's Inferno was written as a satirical, fantasy work, where Mr. Dunstan succumbed to Alzheimer's, went through the death process, and descended into hell, where he met victims of his pro-gun policy. Collins was a fan of Mack Dunstan. This manuscript was actually inspired when the author viewed Michael Moore, who challenged Mr. Dunstan in Bowling for Columbine. The author did not support Mr. Moore's penchant for skewing the facts, or promoting his own agenda, but has acknowledged the filmmaker for providing the inspiration for Mack Dunstan's Inferno. Collins was never a fan of filmmaker Michael Moore. In fact he was utterly appalled and disgusted to hear how Mr. Moore accepted the academy award. The American Academy awards were about Gucci shoes, who was wearing what, and who's sleeping with whom. It was never about social issues. Collins never understood how a movie director could become infamous through documentary filmmaking. Only in America! Mack Dunstan's Inferno began with Mack Dunstan going through and experiencing the death process. As he journeyed, he met Virgil, who guided him through hell, heaven, and eventual illumination. In his journey, Mr. Dunstan met the many victims of his pro-gun policy. Many were Hispanic and African-Americans, all of whom were from the poorer classes. It was in this scenario of the underworld; Mr. Dunstan was confronted with the many sad and tragic stories, leaving him to go through the process of expurgation of guilt, anger, and elimination of

Writing Herself into Being: Quebec Women's Autobiographical Writings from Marie de l'Incarnation to Nelly Arcan

| null |
WINNER - Prix du livre d’Ottawa 2016 WINNER - Prix Jean-Éthier-Blais 2015 WINNER - Prix Gabrielle-Roy 2014 FINALIST - Prix littéraire Trillium 2015 From the founding of New France to the present day, Quebec women have had to negotiate societal expectations placed on their gender. Tracing the evolution of life writing by Quebec women, Patricia Smart presents a feminist analysis of women’s struggles for autonomy and agency in a society that has continually emphasized the traditional roles of wife and mother. Writing Herself into Being examines published autobiographies and autobiographical fiction, as well as the annals of religious communities, letters, and a number of published and unpublished diaries by girls and women, to reveal a greater range of women’s experiences than proscribed, generalized roles. Through close readings of these texts Smart uncovers the authors’ perspectives on events such as the 1837 Rebellion, the Montreal cholera epidemic of 1848, convent school education, the struggle for women’s rights in the early twentieth century, and the Quiet Revolution. Drawing attention to the individuality of each writer while situating her within the social and ideological context of her era, this book further explores the ways women and girls reacted to, and often rebelled against, the constraints imposed on them by both Church and state. Written in a clear and compelling narrative style that brings women’s voices to life, Writing Herself into Being – the author’s own translation of her award-winning French-language book De Marie de l’Incarnation à Nelly Arcan: Se dire, se faire par l’écriture intime (Boréal, 2014) – offers a new and gendered view of various periods in Quebec history.

Jokainen tietää, miten vauva tehdään! Mutta miten käyttää se aika jolloin vain odotetaan että vauva olisi valmis tulemaan ulos? Usva ja Juha ovat kolmekymppinen pariskunta, joille hartaasti toivottu raskausaika on hämmentävää tunteiden ja tuntemusten vuoristorataa ? Eikä mikään mene käsikirjoituksen mukaan.
Muiden kohdalla kaikki näyttää käyvän luonnostaan. Mutta entä kun Usva tympääntyy koko projektiin? Ja Juha vetää paniikkikännit? Entä pitäisikö raskaana käyttää viimeinen mahdollisuus flirttailla muiden miesten kanssa – vai mieluummin ei? Miten ihmeessä selvitä ultrassa nolostumatta, kun terkkari kaivaa dildon näköisen joystickin esiin?
Voi kun vauvan voisi tilata valmiina pakettina! Voisi skipata koko raskausajan tunnemylläkän.
Suositun perhebloggarin Karoliina Sallisen esikoisromaani vuodattaa esiin kaiken sen mitä neuvolan oppaat unohtivat kertoa. Kirja kuvaa koko raskauden kulun ensimmäisestä viikosta aina vauvan syntymään asti. Kirjassa on Sanni Kariniemen raikas mustavalkopiirroskuvitus.

Since we published Illusive, our first collection of contemporary illustration from around the world, the demand for work in this medium has continued to grow – and with it its range of application and forms of expression. This positive development is confirmed by the exciting work of international illustrators that we have seen since its publication, and it was thus a logical step to present the best of these new works in Illusive 2. The book features an impressive variety of illustration styles and new design approaches that have become more differentiated and complex in comparison to the spontaneous-looking scribbles of years past.

A new, illustrated picture book with an invaluable lesson for children. Thomas S. Monson told the story about his time as a young boy spending the summer
at his family's cabin in Vivian Park. He and his best friend, Danny,
decided to clear a field so they could gather with their friends and have a
campfire. The tall, stubborn weeds would not pull out easily. So Tommy
had the idea of using one little match to burn the weeds. He knew he
shouldn't use matches without permission from his parents. But he ignored
the prompting warning him of the danger and set the parched June
grass ablaze. The consequence of his disobedience nearly endangered the
entire forest and almost burned down neighboring cabins.
I learned several difficult but important lessons that day. Perhaps the biggest
lesson was the need for obedience. Rules and laws are created to keep us safe.
When we obey those rules, we can avoid the dangers that can come from something
as small as one little match.

En este libro, Susana Bloch A. y Humberto Maturana R., dos científicos y amigos de toda una vida, conversan sobre el emocionar y su evocación desde el respirar.
Las emociones fluyen continuamente impregnando nuestro vivir, determinando todas nuestras acciones y conductas, incluso nuestro razonar.
Así como el viento arrastra las nubes, una respiración específica produce una emoción básica específica: alegría, tristeza, rabia, miedo, erotismo, ternura.
Los autores conversan libremente sobre estos temas, con una estructura de baile muy especial: Susana Bloch escribe en las páginas de la izquierda y Humberto Maturana en las de la derecha, cada uno desde su particular experiencia, personalidad y vivencia: desde lo masculino y lo femenino, desde la psicología y la biología, desde la práctica y la reflexión, desde Alba Emoting y la Biología del Emocionar, convergiendo y alejándose, en una amena y, a la vez, poderosa danza.

The American poet H. D. (1886-1961) is increasingly being recognized as a key figure in the shaping of Anglo-American modernism, and this study attempts to emphasize her position, against the well-established claims of writers such as T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. The study is grounded in questions of sexuality, gender and the nature of subjectivity and H. D.'s interest in Hellenism. The development of a homoerotic strand within her distinctively modernist poetics comes together in Collecott's central concept of "sapphic modernism."

Readers will learn where and how to find flying humanoids, hairy humanoids, giants of all kinds including rabbits, bats and spiders, goblins, vampires, werewolves, demons, aliens and ghosts. In the third book of our 'Weiser Field Guides' series, Bella online paranormal editor, Deena West Budd, surveys the stillemerging field of cryptozoologya term coined in the 1950s by a French zoologist named Bernard Heuvelmansthe study of "hidden" or "unknown" animals not recognized in standard zoology. From traditional cryptids like Big Foot, the Abonimable Snowman and Nessie, to mythical cryptids like unicorns, vampires, dragons, and werewolves, to lesser-known cryptids like bunyips (waterhorses), Encantado (Dolphin Men of Brazil), thunderbirds, mothmen, and chupacabra, these creatures are very much alive, says Budd, if beyond the realm of normal perception. The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology includes a brief history of the field of cryptozoology and surveys all the creatures for which any credible amount of research exists. Budd gives readers tips on how to spot these creatures, as well as cautionary advice on how to interact with them. Two dozen line drawings rendered from eye witness descriptions accompany the text.

In our pursuit of sexual discovery our actions are sometimes achieved without sincerity or conviction. Whether the sexual act involves infidelity or just impulsive and irrational misbehaviour, it can often be conceived that the risks are gratuitous and frequently undertaken without remorse, incrimination or consequence.The chapters unfold in a sequence of true events. Each story follows the journey of a young man growing through his adolescent years into middle-age. In his quest for Human Sexual Response he discovers that the entrance to the sexual arena can be fraught with an element of uncertainty, intrigue, risk, danger, and sometimes a touch of light-hearted humour.The book is based on the life experiences and recollections of the author. Although some of the stories have been slightly embellished and a small amount of fiction added, all the events, incidents and characters in the book are rooted in fact.The book contains explicit descriptions of sexual behaviour and is therefore intended for adult reading only. To protect the privacy and reputation of individuals, all the names, dates and places in the book have been changed.

Freud’s Italian Journey
|
["Laurence Simmons"]
| 5
| 1
| null |
Freud's Italian Journey takes the psychoanalytical texts of Freud on the visual arts and literature as its objects for analysis. While the biographical figure of Freud appears throughout its pages, it is not simply a psychobiographical reading of Freud, his personal circumstances and their relationship to his texts. Rather the processes of interpretation begun by Freud are turned on Freud himself, thus eventually displacing and questioning his theoretical mastery. Freud's Italian Journey also argues that Freud's interest in, frequent journeys to, and obsession with Italy profoundly shaped and informed his elaboration of psychoanalysis. The volume organizes its material around the major Italian cities which were the destinations of Freud's travel, and the sites of the artworks he examined. Freud's many Italian holidays were crucial for his self-analysis and methodology, but it is also argued here that his papers on Italian subjects must be read as texts marked by fascination and allurement, crossed with anxiety and resistance, inscribed by memory and forgetting. Journeys to Italy heightened Freud's sense of the visual, and it is contended that the visual dimension of Freud's writing is crucial to an understanding of his elaboration of the theory of psychoanalysis. The relation between image and text is at the heart of Freud's analysis of works of art as he founds a critical methodology in which the two are interrelated, image illustrating idea and idea needing to express itself in image, but neither finally resolvable into the other. Thus the argument of Freud's Italian Journey follows as its model the famous elaboration of the da game by Freud, moving back and forth between Freud's life and his texts, between psychoanalytical and philosophical systems, between the written and the visual. This leads to the broader conclusion that Freud might provide the key to a new practice of criticism, and a new way of 'seeing' and understanding visual images.

The Nurse Novel MEGAPACK®: 4 Classic Novels!

["Alice Brennan"]

Reading trends change over the years. One of the now largely-forgotten genres of fiction was the "nurse novel"...which was itself a subset of the "doctor novel" and featured (what else?) the romantic adventures (usually with a doctor) of a nurse!
Hundreds of nurse novels were published, with titles that sometimes stretched credulity. One of our contributors to this volume, Peggy Gaddis, seemed to specialize in nurses (she wrote dozens of books about them). Is it any wonder that authors sometimes had to stretch to find subjects that hadn’t already been covered? Titles like "Scandalous Nurse." "Future Nurse" (no, it’s not science fiction -- but it might have been!) "Nurse in the Tropics." "Resort Nurse." "Ozark Nurse." "Everglades Nurse." "Night Club Nurse." "Undercover Nurse." "Debutante Nurse." "Television Nurse." "Prison Nurse." "Poison Nurse." "Nurse Voodoo." "Hootenany Nurse." "The Nurse and the Pirate." The list goes on and on.
Here are 4 classic nurse novels which will, I'm sure, whet your appetite for

The Domain Book of Intuitive Home Design: How to Decorate Using Your Personality Type
|
["Judy George"]

Do you love bright, airy rooms with sheer curtains that allow light to flood in? Or are you attracted to intimate, jewel-box rooms with rich fabrics and colors? Are you most comfortable when nestled among pretty objects to touch and enjoy, or do you want your home to be free from all clutter?
These decorating choices aren't just a matter of taste. They're true reflections of your personality, and they speak volumes about who you are.
The Domain Book of Intuitive Home Design is the first book to identify four different kinds of people--the Visionary, the Artisan, the Idealist, and the Adventurer--and to explore how these types express themselves through aesthetic choices.
If you're an Idealist, you might be happiest in a sleek, contemporary home with all the latest conveniences. But if you're an Adventurer, your domestic bliss would more likely be found in a lively dwelling that bursts with color and surprise. You might be a Visionary if you love fine antiques and classic proportions; if you're more interested in casual, comfortable furnishings and a great view of the outdoors, then you're probably an Artisan.
This book begins with a quiz to help you discover which personality archetype you most resemble. The next four chapters give an overall picture of each archetype, and explore the emotional underpinnings that lead to each type's decorating preferences.
Then, a room-by-room section brings those choices into beautiful focus. From real-life examples you will learn to create a home that is not only lovely to look at, but that also suits your true self. Shopping lists, mini-exercises, and guided visualizations will inspire, educate, and amuse you. Along the way you will recognize yourself, your friends, and your loved ones.
The Domain Book of Intuitive Home Design introduces a whole new way of thinking about decorating. Most important, it offers the language and the tools to understand and express your one-of-a-kind style.

Thinking in Cases
|
["John Forrester"]
| 4
| 3
| null |
What exactly is involved in using particular case histories to think systematically about social, psychological and historical processes? Can one move from a textured particularity, like that in Freud�s famous cases, to a level of reliable generality? In this book, Forrester teases out the meanings of the psychoanalytic case, how to characterize it and account for it as a particular kind of writing. In so doing, he moves from psychoanalysis to the law and medicine, to philosophy and the constituents of science. Freud and Foucault jostle here with Thomas Kuhn, Ian Hacking and Robert Stoller, and Einstein and Freud�s connection emerges as a case study of two icons in the general category of the Jewish Intellectual. While Forrester was particularly concerned with analysing the style of reasoning that was dominant in psychoanalysis and related disciplines, his path-breaking account of thinking in cases will be of great interest to scholars, students and professionals across a wide range of disciplines, from history, law and the social sciences to medicine, clinical practice and the therapies of the world.

„Nu mă interesează prea tare (fiindcă încerc să ocolesc prejudecățile acelora care trebuie să bage totul în sertărașele potrivite) dacă Alexandru Potcoavă scrie poezie narativă sau un soi de proze scurte versificate, cu tușe poetice calde și pregnante, câtă vreme îl simt în textul său atât de vioi, de curios și de acut în observație și limbaj. Potcoavă e în vervă și arată o mare poftă de a povesti, împrumutând voci, croind istorii infuzate de poezie care se dezvoltă firesc, fără artificii, fără sclipici, fără incoerențe stilistice, dar cu o jubilație pe care o-ntâlnești doar la autorii cu adevărat îndrăgostiți de scris. Într-o zi nu ne vom mai recunoaște e-o carte pe care o citești pe nerăsuflate, și vine la un deceniu și jumătate după volumul de poezie foarte promițător cu care debuta, la numai 21 de ani. Era și timpul.”

Jules Avery and Gavin Boyd have been together for five years, but after a proposal-gone-wrong, Jules sees the real side of Gavin…a side she never wants to see again.
Gavin informs Jules he’s leaving the country for a while, and later that day she learns of her parents’ murders. Is it coincidence these things happened on the same day?
Reed Davison, her longtime friend, learns of her loss, and he steps in and assumes the role of protector, friend, and hopeful lover. Having been infatuated with her since high school, he would like nothing more than to make Jules his, but for the time being, he’s content with his self-imposed role in her life.
As Jules and Reed grow closer, their relationship begins to flourish. It isn’t long before he realizes she is the one for him, and he plans to make her his in a more permanent way. On the evening he plans to propose, events unfold—events that force Jules to evaluate her life.
Will she allow the life she has built with Reed to crumble around her?

HOT BLOODED RACES
When dashing Marc Copeland won the Southern Belle from her brother in a card game innocent Catalina Carrington was confident she could buy the riverboat back from the debonair gambler. But when the arrogant cad named his price--three days as his mistress--the sumptuous beauty's fury knew no bounds. She vehemently swore she'd never meet his terms... but even as she protested, Catalina couldn't slow her racing pulse nor calm her breathless gasps nor still her romantic heart imagining the sensual splendor she could have were she to relent to the ebon-haired scoundrel!
BLACK-HEARTED SCHEME
The moment virile Marc Copeland saw curvaceous Catalina, he knew exactly what the next step would be in his long-planned downfall of the Carrington: to seduce the golden-eyed chit, then toss her out with her reputation in shreds. But as he stroked her hip-length tresses and boldly traced her lush ripe form, the insolent male thought less of ruining her and more of ravishing her. On the morrow there'd be time aplenty for revenge. Tonight he would reap the rewards at hand and glory in the passionate pleasures and ecstatic delights of CATALINA'S CARESS

No illustrator surpasses Istvan Banyai at portraying the dream lives of today's New York and Los Angeles hip urban style-setters. His repertoire of visual special effects, whether seen in magazines, books, or animated films, is perfectly suited to a pop culture in which anything - appearance, identity, status - can be morphed into its opposite. This first collection of Banyai's memorable pictures is a tribute to this dazzlingly gifted illustrator, a transplanted Hungarian who sees America with fresh eyes - and whose art uniquely speaks for our time.
In the Banyai universe, reflections and shadows become alternate realities, faces are interchangeable, and sex is a game played with laptop and webcam. Even his popular children's book illustrations consist of sequences that shift vertiginously from scene to scene. Banyai describes his art as "an organic combination of turn-of-the-century Viennese retro, interjected with American pop, some European absurdity added for flavor, served on a cartoon-style color palette... no social realism added." That distinctive perspective informs every page of this striking book.

A Viscount's Proposal

Leorah Langdon has no patience for Regency society's shallow hypocrisy and unnecessary rules, especially for women. She's determined to defy convention by marrying for grand passion instead of settling for a loveless union like her parents' or wedding a stuffy, pompous gentleman like Edward, the Viscount Withinghall. But when a chance meeting in the countryside leads to Leorah and Withinghall being discovered in his overturned carriage—alone and after dark—the ensuing gossip may force them together.
Withinghall has his reasons for clinging to propriety; his father perished in a duel with his mistress's husband, and Edward must avoid scandal himself if he wants to become prime minister. He certainly has no time for a reckless hoyden like Miss Langdon. But soon the two discover that Withinghall's coach "accident" was no such the vehicle was sabotaged.
Can the culprit be brought to justice? Strong-willed Leorah and duty-driven Withinghall will have to work together if they have any hope of saving her reputation, his political career—and his life.

This book will help you better understand school and children bullying, and see how you can deal with it. It has been written as a general overview outlining the main things you need to know about this subject. It's a short read and a great start for people who know little about the subject. Bullying is the act of continual abuse where one party tries to enforce it’s power over another. There are three types of bullying-physical, verbal, and relational (or social).
Physical bullying occurs when the bully uses physical power or violence to coerce, intimidate, or harm the victim. This is usually the easiest form of bullying to identify and see the effects of, which is why it is often thought to be the most serious and the most commonly responded to in schools.
Verbal bullying is when a person consistently uses words to intimidate or hurt another person. This can involved put-downs or verbal coercion. Verbal coercion is also fairly easy to spot, although many are not quick to respond to it, often mislead by the false “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” saying.
All too often, bullying has been treated as a part of growing up, or something that will toughen .
Recently, there have also been multiple suicides blamed on bullying. These must be stopped, and the only way to do so is by installing preventative programs in schools throughout the country. Even one suicide due to bullying is too many.
This book will help you understand, prevent or detect this problem.

Chemoreception in Fishes
|
["Toshiaki J. Hara"]
| 5
| 1
| null |
Research on chemoreception in fishes has grown at a remarkable rate and this growth has greatly increased our understanding of the ultrastructure and electrical properties of chemosensory organs, the biochemical aspects of stimulant molecules and receptor interactions, and the role of chemoreception in the control of behavior. This is evident from the large number of papers scattered in a wide range of journals, monographs and symposium proceedings. This volume reviews and compiles all the available information. It reviews chemoreception in fishes with particular emphasis on its significance in behavior and its environmental interactions. Four aspects are discussed in the light of recent developments in electron microscopical, electrophysiological and biochemical studies while searching for the general fundamental mechanisms of chemoreceptive transduction.

International Political Thought: An Historical Introduction
|
["Edward Keene"]
| 4.17
| 6
| null |
This volume offers an accessible and wide-ranging introduction to the history of international political thought. Taking as its starting-point the various concepts people have used to think about differences between political communities, the book explores changing perceptions of international politics from antiquity to the twentieth century. As well as discussing well-known themes such as relations between independent sovereign states and the tension between raison d'état and a universal code of natural law, it also examines less familiar ideas which have influenced the development of international political thought such as the distinction between civilization, national culture and barbarism, religious attitudes towards infidels, and theories about racial difference and imperialism. Among the key thinkers covered are Thucydides, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Kant, Marx and Morgenthau, alongside less commonly studied figures such as Herodotus, Pope Innocent IV, Herder, Constant and Zimmern. Each chapter concludes with a guide to further reading which will help students to develop a more detailed understanding of the subject. Written with the beginner student in mind, this lively textbook is an ideal introduction for anyone studying international political thought.

Fat: It's Not What You Think
|
["Connie Leas"]
| 4.07
| 14
| 5
|
Here is a refreshing antidote to the misleading hype surrounding the topic of fat - both the fat we eat and the fat we carry around. By explaining its biology and sharing the latest research, Connie Leas convincingly frees fat from its bad reputation. For example, she discusses how our much-maligned fatty tissue plays a critical role in maintaining health. Among other vital functions, it stores energy, produces hormones, builds cell membranes, bolsters immunity, and insulates our vital organs.The author also explains often-confusing terms such as triglycerides, polyunsaturated, omega-3, and trans-fat that are tossed around in the media, but which few people really understand. Having spent years researching this subject, Leas has transformed technical material from scientific research into a lively work of popular appeal. Chock full of useful - and sometimes startling - information, It's Not What You Think is a valuable health resource presented in an accessible, entertaining format.
