Like You’ve Nothing Left to Prove

Justin “Matts” Matthews is good at a lot of things: Rubik’s Cubes, playing guitar, herding cattle, and most importantly for his career in the NHL, hockey. He’s not good at human interactions or social cues, especially when it comes to women. This deficiency is an annoyance rather than a problem, right up until he meets Sydney Warren. If it’s not love at first sight, it’s sure something close. Sydney Warren, frontwoman for up-and-coming rock band Right Red Hand, is fierce, driven, and she doesn't do relationships. Being an out trans woman in the music industry is more than enough pressure—a romantic entanglement would be added stress she doesn’t need. A romantic entanglement with a professional hockey player who, to all accounts, is only just learning to be an ally is definitely not what she needs. And yet. After a chance encounter, Matts and Sydney become unlikely friends. However, in the stolen moments of their busy schedules––late-night phone calls between NHL games and concert tour dates—they start to question if maybe “friendship” isn't so apt a description for whatever this is between them. But can they overcome the outside pressures from family and media that would rather their relationship end before it has a chance to start?

A Magic Evermore

When 15-year-old Mirri receives an antique journal, she is moved by its beauty . . . and flung into a magical world of tyranny and oppression. Evil rules this forest, and only one being can bring back the rightful ruler. Could a mere mortal be the one to awaken Avi, the rightful ruler of Althord Loch? Could a young girl hold the power to defeat the Panthera? As secrets come to light, and the dangerous journey is before her, Mirri begins to question her place in this world. Walking over rushing waters and battling Fangars are only parts of the danger that lies ahead. Join Mirri on the adventure of a lifetime-an adventure that teaches Mirri it's not how much power you hold-it's how much you believe in yourself.

How Good It Can Be

When Blake Worthing asks Emma Saffron out, she can’t believe it. A new student who’s been awesomely labeled a ‘prep-school-boy-gone-bad,’ he’s already infamous in their otherwise boring Midwestern suburb. Emma is warned, but she’s not listening. She’s been noticed by someone who doesn’t know that up until now, all she’s been famous for is studying, and it makes her want to give up everything for Blake. One thing Blake never talks about is why he left prep school. An aspiring journalist, Emma knows there’s more to his story. As she uncovers the truth, then watches Blake’s downward spiral, Emma begins to question if it’s really worth being his girlfriend, even if she lost her virginity to him. Blake screwed up big time, and she might be on the road to ruin, too.

Rhythm of My Soul

Meditation day books are popular spiritual or inspirational guides, but none have been written quite like this one. Drawing from over 50 years of working and creating, teaching and nurturing students in theatre, the author uses quotes from plays as a basis for rumination and the exploration of life, making this particular volume part memoir, part life philosophy, and part mini theatre history vignettes. This volume is written to be read each day, with one writing for each of 366 days of a year. With a spiritual message at the heart of the work, the book will also appeal to theatre and arts lovers. The author has many years experience in teaching the Enneagram, the Arts as a transcendent adventure, and other wisdom subjects. This meditation collection is good for any spiritual seeker who brings a clear heart and an open mind to spiritual exploration. As the author says, “One of the extraordinary things about working in the theatre day in and day out is that the words of the script of the play I am creating soak through my clothing, permeate my skin, penetrate my brain, and saturate my life.” From these quotes, Sloan has created short reflections on life, arranged thematically for every day of the year. Plays, written by real people over the centuries, brim with the same sort of emotions and challenges, joys and fears that impact us today. The characters warn, rejoice, fuss, complain, doubt, advise, and cheer their fellows just as we do today. In this work, Sloan suggests that reading and watching plays can assist us as we review the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual natures of our own lives. From new beginnings in January to tying up loose ends in December, these meditations become a daily traveling partner for those who want to reflect on how art and literature influence and become a part of our lives.

Benny Rose, the Cannibal King

Blackwood, Vermont has one legend to its name-Benny Rose, the Cannibal King. Every local kid knows him and tells his stories, especially on Halloween. When a new girl moves to town in the autumn of 1987, the legend inspires high school junior Desiree St. Fleur and her friends to pull a Benny Rose-themed prank. A few laughs and screams, and they'll have a Happy Halloween.But a vicious storm crashes into Blackwood and interrupts the festivities. Soon the girls find themselves trapped and hunted in a strange neighborhood where no one will help them. There's nothing made-up about Benny Rose this Halloween night. The truth is coming, and it's hungry."Hailey Piper is a major new voice in the horror genre, and Benny Rose, the Cannibal King is the perfect place to start with her work. A short and magnificent shock to the system, this one has got everything: great characters, fantastic vintage horror vibes, and a terrifying urban legend at the center of it all. Keep an eye on Hailey's work; she is seriously going places."-Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens"A good urban legend has a way of seeping into your bones and refusing to crawl out; Hailey Piper's Cannibal King is certainly one of those that will be creeping into my mind, late at night and unbidden, for a long time to come. Benny Rose is an unforgettable terror, rivaled only by the gutsy teens who dare to go up against him."-Claire Holland, author of I Am Not Your Final Girl"I see your slumber party massacre and raise you a taste of human tragedy, a funhouse ride of plot twists, and a heaping side of gore. Hailey Piper has the audacity to write teenage mean girls as thinking, feeling, bad-ass human beings."-Joanna Koch, author of The Couvade"Sometimes when we tell ourselves stories, we unwittingly awaken and summon the very monster we thought only lived in our minds.... Witness a brilliant cast of characters take a chomping bite out of a local folk story that proves itself all too real. With haunted hearts and burning teeth, Piper's sharp prose delivers a whirlwind tale; here, we peel back the layers of our strong, female leads and root for them to conquer the night."-Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Devil's Dreamland

Fear and Laundry 2

This Halloween, lose your heart in Hillingham Hollow… Welcome to Hillingham Hollow, the wholesome Texas suburb where romance abounds and real magic is rumored to be in the air. It’s nearly Halloween in Hillingham Hollow, and Kaelin’s weekend of volunteering just went from potentially fun to passionately fraught, as she finds herself building a carnival booth with a sexy former classmate—and embarking on an emotional roller coaster as heart-pounding and dizzying as any fairground ride. Book 1: A Kiss at Halloween Come volunteer at the carnival, Kaelin, she said. It’ll be fun, she said… When Kaelin’s friend Pauline suggests they build a booth together for the upcoming Halloween carnival, Kaelin has doubts. Sounds like a lot more effort than Kaelin feels willing to expend these days. But then Pauline reminds her that, not only is the carnival part of her friend Joy’s big wedding celebration, it’s also for charity. Kaelin caves, hoping that at least the project might distract her from her usual worries—the ones about being a twenty-year-old still living at home with her parents, jobless, skill-less, and without any sense of direction in her life. But then, at the last minute, Pauline skips out on the booth-building business, leaving Kaelin high and dry. Worse yet, she leaves her paired with a different volunteer, altogether: Max Yang, the hot metalhead mechanic with whom Kaelin kinda-sorta used to flirt back in high school. Sure, Max is a cool person and great to look at—and he might even be willing to spin Kaelin’s whole world around with a few passionate kisses over the weekend—but there’s no way he, a guy Kaelin hardly knows, and who’s so different from anyone else in her life, can hold the key to breaking her out of her rut. Or to unraveling her entire, bewildering future. Can he? Content advisory for Book 1: A Kiss at Halloween: sexual references, sensual kissing __________________________________________________________________________________ SERIES DESCRIPTION: Welcome to Hillingham Hollow, Texas, the wholesome Houston suburb where romance abounds, and magic is rumored to be in the air… Twenty-year-old Autumn Joy Alejandro is getting married. Somehow, the former Hillingham Hollow High homecoming queen and recent Harvest Festival Pumpkin Princess has managed to land one of the world’s most eligible bachelors, twenty-eight-year-old Gothic rock singer Corvin Covarrubias. When the tall, dark, and extraordinarily handsome star escorts his new bride-to-be back to the suburbs for their highly publicized wedding, all of Hillingham Hollow is immediately entranced. Autumn Joy is sweet and friendly, known for her almost angelic levels of kindness and generosity. Corvin is just the opposite, a worldly international celebrity with a dour image and devilish reputation, rumored to be a real-life vampire. The unusual pair captures the locals’ imaginations, and soon speculations about their alliance are swirling. According to many hopeful Hillingham singles, the “marriage of light and darkness” taking place in the heart of their community will be a charmed event, guaranteeing every guest their own happily-ever-after. Follow along as the weekend’s Halloween carnival extravaganza unfolds, and passion ignites throughout the ’burbs. Some couples will reunite after years apart, while others will meet for the very first time. All will be unexpectedly thrown together for one fun—possibly enchanted—wedding weekend, in which supernatural forces may or may not play a part, but romance is certain to manifest...

The Renascent World

With an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses the history of ideas, political history, cultural history and art history, this volume, in the successful Routledge Worlds series, offers a sweeping survey of Europe in the Renaissance, from the late thirteenth to early seventeenth centuries, and shows how the Renaissance laid key foundations for many aspects of the modern world. Collating thirty-four essays from the field's leading scholars, John Jeffries Martin shows that this period of rapid and complex change resulted from a convergence of a new set of social, economic and technological forces alongside a cluster of interrelated practices including painting, sculpture, humanism and science, in which the elites engaged. Unique in its balance of emphasis on elite and popular culture, on humanism and society, and on women as well as men, The Renaissance World grapples with issues as diverse as Renaissance patronage and the development of the slave trade. Beginning with a section on the antecedents of the Renaissance world, and ending with its lasting influence, this book is an invaluable read, which students and scholars of history and the Renaissance will dip into again and again.

Theonite

Joan Messi has spent thirteen lonely years hiding her supernatural abilities from her parents, her classmates, and everyone in her white bread suburban community. However, her little world of secrets is shattered when a pair of strangers arrive from a parallel dimension on the hunt for a nameless criminal. Now, after a lifetime of wondering how she got her powers, Joan might have found the beginnings of an answer. For Daniel Thundyil and his father, elemental powers and ego-maniacal supervillains are nothing new-although this is the first time a mission has brought them to a parallel dimension. Daniel's main concern in this new world isn't the looming threat of a godlike killer; it's fitting in at a school where the food is flavorless, everyone writes backwards in an ancient alphabet, and all the racial hierarchies seem to be reversed.

I Promise You

BONES I got my name from breaking the bones of a kid who picked on my younger brother, but that’s only where it started. My black heart craves violence, and being a King gives me plenty of opportunities. When a friend comes to me for help because someone he loves is in danger, I’m happy to do so. After all, my friends are few, and they are my family. Once I have her, I do what I have to in order to protect her. She thinks she’s in hell, but this is child’s play compared to what she would have faced. She’s an innocent through and through and completely off-limits. But that’s not enough to stop me from doing what I do best—taking what’s mine. MIA I was born into a deadly Mafia family, yet I’m a nobody. To the world, I don’t exist. Shuffled from Vegas as a child and sent to Italy for my protection, I became invisible. Until they found a use for me. Now I’m a card my father can play. A chance to cash in on the family name to the highest bidder. Taken from my home, I’m sold to a King. His hard blue eyes take no prisoners. He’s just another pretty face to hide the evil and in no way my savior. Now I know what hell looks like because I’m living it. But just when I think I can finally be free, it all comes crashing down, and the King I thought would end me is the only one who can save me. All I wanted was to be somebody, but now I wish I’d stayed the nobody. BONES is the fifth book in The Dark Kingdom series.

Let's get this straight - ghosts are everywhere. And they're dangerous. This is why my family has hunted them for hundreds of years. The Marin family run a two-man operation in inner-city Melbourne. Anton has the ghost-sight, but his father does not. Theirs is a gentle approach to ghost hunting. Rani Cross, combat-skilled ghost hunter from the Company of the Righteous, is all about the slashing. Anton and Rani don't see eye to eye - but with a massive spike in violent ghost manifestations, they must find a way to work together. And what with all the blindingly terrifying brushes with death, Anton must use his gap year to decide if he really wants in on the whole ghost-hunting biz . . . Gap Year in Ghost Town is smart, funny and scary - with extra action and attitude. 'FILLED WITH GHOSTLY INTRIGUE AND DELIGHTFUL CHARACTERS, MICHAEL PRYOR'S LATEST NOVEL IS PURE ENTERTAINMENT.'

This Book Is Not Yet Rated

In this enormously funny, smart, and moving contemporary YA novel, fighting for the thing you love doesn't always turn out like in the movies. "Hilarious, big-hearted, poignant...An unadulterated triumph." --Jeff Zentner, author of The Serpent King Movies have always helped Ethan Ashby make sense of the world. So when developers swoop in and say the classic Green Street Cinema is going to be destroyed to make room for luxury condos, Ethan is ready for battle. And so a motley crew of cinema employees comes together to save the place they love: There's Sweet Lou, the elderly organist with a penchant for not-so-sweet language; Anjo, the too-cool projectionist; Griffin and Lucas who work concessions, if they work at all; and Ethan, their manager (who can barely manage his own life). Still, it's going to take a movie miracle for the Green Street to have a happy ending. And when Raina Allen, Ethan's oldest friend (and possible soul mate?), comes back to town after working in Hollywood--cue lights and music--it seems that miracle may have been delivered. But life and love aren't always like in the movies. This Book is Not Yet Rated is about growing up, letting go, and realizing love hides in plain view--in the places that shape us, the people who raise us, the first loves who leave us, and the lives that fade in and fade out all around us. "A beautifully written look at first love and first loss." --Julie Buxbaum, author of What to Say Next "Film aficionados and fans of John Green will especially like this one." --Booklist, starred review "It pulls you in, holds you...A funny and moving winner." --Adi Alsaid, author of Never Always Sometimes "I cannot get over how much I love this book." --Jared Reck, author of A Short History of the Girl Next Door "[A] sweet love story with a quest at its heart." --PW "Reel[s] you in...Absorbing...quirky and fun." --VOYA

Det vokser et tre i Brooklyn

Som a principis del segle XX i trobem la petita Francie Nolan llegint a l'escala d'incendis de casa seva, a l'ombra d'un arbre salvatge que només creix als barris més pobres de les grans ciutats. Quan la càmera s'allunya, anem descobrint les peculiaritats i extravagàncies de la seva família, immigrants alemanys que han viatjat a la recerca d'un món millor, i també el barri que la veu créixer, Brooklyn. Així, seguirem la jove Francie mentre es va fent gran, acompanyada sempre de llibres, vencent els anys de la gana i la pobresa i exigint de la vida alguna cosa més que una existència mediocre. D'aquestes ganes meravelloses i tossudes per aprendre neix Un arbre creix a Brooklyn, una novel·la sublim i commovedora en la qual els personatges són tan propers que quasi els podries tocar amb els dits, i la seva petita lluita de cada dia per tirar endavant esdevé tan punyent com inspiradora. Un arbre creix a Brooklyn és un homenatge a la infantesa, als lligams familiars, a la llibertat per triar el propi camí i a les petites batalles de cada dia. "Un llibre magnífic d'una novel·lista meravellosa i oblidada", Paul Auster.

Relic

An epic, high-concept speculative novel with explosive ideas around gender and class, served up with romance, conflict and quick-fire narrative pace. In a world split in two, sisters Nara & Osha may have the power to bring it back together, if they can uncover the hidden truth… A century after a virus decimated the population, Isfalk is divided into two classes: the Branded, who are vulnerable to disease, and the Pure, who are stronger and immune. Orphaned twins Nara and Osha are sequestered in the citadel, where their unbranded skin entitles them to a generous life of privilege, albeit as precious breeding stock. Nara itches to escape her confines and return to the wilds of the Fornwood where she and Osha grew up, but when the sisters are ambushed and kidnapped by Wasteland traders, they learn that life outside the safety of the Walls is brutal, and the fraught journey across the Wastelands is only the beginning. When Nara discovers she has mysterious powers linked to her uncanny hunting abilities, the sisters have no choice but to accept the help of an untrustworthy Brand known only as the Wrangler. As she grows closer to mastering the skill, and uncomfortably closer to the Wrangler, she soon discovers her new-found gifts could be the key to their escape, and the balance of power in Isfalk.

Binge drinking and alcohol misuse among college students and young adults

This book provides clear guidance about effective, evidence-based approaches to treating alcohol misuse in young adults. Heavy drinking – and its associated problems – are an integral part of many college students' and other young adults' lives.

It provides practitioners and trainees with a range of evidence-based treatment approaches to help clients change their alcohol use habits. The information presented is both thorough and concise and will help readers with varied backgrounds and experience improve their understanding of the many nuanced factors involved in assessing and treating problematic drinking in young adults.

The Storyteller

"Terrible things can happen when a storyteller falls in love." There are thousands of stories of forbidden loves, many of them including a princess and a slave. When you live in a world of nine kingdoms and each has its own rulers and legends, the chances of not hearing a story like that are minimal. Ever since her father, the king of the Third kingdom, passed away, princess Rachelle has been entertained by her servant Daniel. He would tell her his own stories or the ones she had already heard. None of this would be a problem if he hadn't fallen in love in with her over the years. Now not only does he need to spend every day near his loved one knowing she could never love him back, but he has to hide every glimpse of his feelings. Because if he doesn't, he might get killed. But when the princess starts feeling the same way, their fairy tale begins. However, unlike every other story he had ever told, this one might not have a happy ending. This time the Storyteller became a character and lost his possibility of creating happy endings.

Educational choice, families and young people's earnings

What do economists have to say about behavior within the context of the family? This book improves our understanding of how families and markets interact, why important aspects of families have been changing in recent decades, and how families respond to, and are affected by, public policy. It covers a broader range of topics with more consistency than have previous studies, including all major theoretical developments in the field over the past decade. John Ermisch builds his analysis on the premise that the standard analytical methods of microeconomics can help us understand resource allocation and the distribution of welfare within the family. Families are dynamic institutions--and so the author uses these same methods to study family formation and dissolution (including marriage, fertility, and divorce) and household formation, as well as intergenerational transfers, household production and investment, and bargaining between family members. He also shows how economic theories of the family can help guide and structure empirical analyses of demographic and related phenomena, such as labor supply, child support, and returns to education. Examples of studies that apply the theory are provided throughout the book. The most comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to an increasingly dynamic area of research, one with important implications for public policy, An Economic Analysis of the Family will be a valuable resource for advanced students of microeconomics and also for students and researchers in sociology, psychology, and other social sciences.

When Blake Worthing asks Emma Saffron out, she can’t believe it. A new student who’s been awesomely labeled a ‘prep-school-boy-gone-bad,’ he’s already infamous in their otherwise boring Midwestern suburb. Emma is warned, but she’s not listening. She’s been noticed by someone who doesn’t know that up until now, all she’s been famous for is studying, and it makes her want to give up everything for Blake. One thing Blake never talks about is why he left prep school. An aspiring journalist, Emma knows there’s more to his story. As she uncovers the truth, then watches Blake’s downward spiral, Emma begins to question if it’s really worth being his girlfriend, even if she lost her virginity to him. Blake screwed up big time, and she might be on the road to ruin, too.

All Hail the Underdogs

Justin “Matts” Matthews is good at a lot of things: Rubik’s Cubes, playing guitar, herding cattle, and most importantly for his career in the NHL, hockey. He’s not good at human interactions or social cues, especially when it comes to women. This deficiency is an annoyance rather than a problem, right up until he meets Sydney Warren. If it’s not love at first sight, it’s sure something close. Sydney Warren, frontwoman for up-and-coming rock band Right Red Hand, is fierce, driven, and she doesn't do relationships. Being an out trans woman in the music industry is more than enough pressure—a romantic entanglement would be added stress she doesn’t need. A romantic entanglement with a professional hockey player who, to all accounts, is only just learning to be an ally is definitely not what she needs. And yet. After a chance encounter, Matts and Sydney become unlikely friends. However, in the stolen moments of their busy schedules––late-night phone calls between NHL games and concert tour dates—they start to question if maybe “friendship” isn't so apt a description for whatever this is between them. But can they overcome the outside pressures from family and media that would rather their relationship end before it has a chance to start?

House Saphir

Marissa Meyer, the #1 national bestselling "Queen of Fairytale Retellings" is back with a thrilling tale based on the legend of Bluebeard. Both romantasy and murder mystery; perfect for fans of Divine Rivals and The Fourth Wing. Mallory Fontaine is a fraud. Though she comes from a long line of witches, the only magic she possesses is the ability to see ghosts, which is rarely as useful as one would think. She and her sister have maintained the family business, eking out a paltry living by selling bogus spells to gullible buyers and conducting tours of the infamous mansion where the first of the Saphir murders took place. Mallory is a self-proclaimed expert on Count Bastien Saphir - otherwise known as Monsieur Le Bleu - who brutally killed three of his wives more than a century ago. But she never expected to meet Bastien's great-grandson and heir to the Saphir estate. Armand is handsome, wealthy, and convinced that the Fontaine Sisters are as talented as they claim. The perfect mark. When he offers Mallory a large sum of money to rid his ancestral home of Le Bleu's ghost, she can’t resist. A paid vacation at Armand’s country manor? It’s practically a dream come true, never mind the ghosts of murdered wives and the monsters that are as common as household pests. But when murder again comes to the House Saphir, Mallory finds herself at the center of the investigation—and she is almost certain the killer is mortal. If she has any hope of cashing in on the payment she was promised, she’ll have to solve the murder and banish the ghost, all while upholding the illusion of witchcraft. But that all sounds relatively easy compared to her biggest challenge: learning to trust her heart. Especially when the person her heart wants the most might be a murderer himself.

The Girl Who Steals Christmas

Going beyond the box-office hits of Disney and Dreamworks, this guide to every animated movie ever released in the United States covers more than 300 films over the course of nearly 80 years of film history. Well-known films such as Finding Nemo and Shrek are profiled and hundreds of other films, many of them rarely discussed, are analyzed, compared, and catalogued. The origin of the genre and what it takes to make a great animated feature are discussed, and the influence of Japanese animation, computer graphics, and stop-motion puppet techniques are brought into perspective. Every film analysis includes reviews, four-star ratings, background information, plot synopses, accurate running times, consumer tips, and MPAA ratings. Brief guides to made-for-TV movies, direct-to-video releases, foreign films that were never theatrically released in the U.S., and live-action films with significant animation round out the volume.

The Kings of Nowhere - The Boy Who Steals Houses 2

This book examines the reading cultures developed by communities of readers and book lovers on BookTube, Bookstagram, and BookTok as an increasingly important influence on contemporary book and literary culture. It explores how the affordances of social media platforms invite readers to participate in social reading communities and engage in creative and curatorial practices that express their identity as readers and book lovers. The interdisciplinary team of authors argue that by creating new opportunities for readers to engage in social reading practices, bookish social media has elevated the agency and visibility of readers and book consumers within literary culture. It has also reshaped the cultural and economic dynamics of book recommendations by creating a space in which different actors are able to form an identity as mediators of reading culture. Concise and accessible, this introduction to an increasingly central set of literary practices is essential reading for students and scholars of literature, sociology, media, and cultural studies, as well as teachers and professionals in the book and library industries.

The Goblin Path

When Blair Sawyer takes a dare to enter the woods at night, she isn't expecting to tumble down a hole in the ground. She especially doesn't expect to discover that popular, and annoyingly arrogant Wren Woods is a Goblin. Apparently, she's accidentally stumbled into their kingdom, a place few humans are ever welcome. Ordered by the queen to fake a friendship neither of them are feeling, Blair is forced to navigate the twists and turns of High School with a Goblin Prince hot on her heels. To make matters worse, his seemingly much nicer cousin, Linden Woods, suddenly enrolls in their school. Just as Blair starts to think maybe she was wrong about Wren being a bad guy, something happens in the Goblin Kingdom, something awful, and Blair is blamed for it. Together, she and Wren must discover the real threat and put a stop to it before all of Goblin turns on her and the people she cares about.

Lovecrazy

The most frugal fishermen on the island of Pequod couldn’t resist throwing money at the bewitching young girl who sang and danced in the streets for change, and when Finn and Joe befriended the penniless Claire, little did they realize they would forever be enthralled. Gentle, goodhearted Finn fell deeply in love with her, though she was obsessed by his best friend, Joe, a moody writer who repressed his own desire in order to protect Finn from being hurt. There seemed no choice but for the three to enter into an arrangement. Finn offered Claire stability and family, while Joe would be her soul mate and lover, and they all would remain loyal. But Joe knew their love triangle was too hot for the island to handle, so he left for Boston to save them all from the furor of love run amok. In this strange world of love and lust, Finn and Claire’s daughter, Joely, is a soundboard for her mother’s guilt, her romantic obsession. She listens to stories she is too young to understand and yearns for a mother who will simply let her be a child. Yet each month she goes with Claire to the dock to wait for Joe, and her adolescent heart leaps excitedly at the sight of the dark-haired, handsome man who is her mother’s raging passion—and her own, as well. From acclaimed author Judy Feiffer comes her finest book to date, a beautiful and unconventional love story played out on a tiny seafaring island off the North Atlantic coast. Feiffer depicts the simple, endearing moments of childhood friendship and the subsequent ill-fated but inevitable loss of innocence. My Passionate Mother is a sensual, disturbing portrayal of four people possessed by love.

Sotto i 40

Ci sono momenti nella vita di ognuno che sembrano segnare la fine, dolori da cui pare impossibile riprendersi. Invece sono l'inizio di grandi imprese. La storia di Mauro Ferrari è eccezionale. Laureato in matematica, dopo un master a Berkeley ottiene un posto di professore associato all'università della California. Si sposa e ha tre figli. Poi, di colpo, la tragedia. La moglie Marialuisa muore di tumore. Da allora Ferrari si dedica anima e corpo alla battaglia contro il cancro, che affronta con un approccio assolutamente originale basato sull'applicazione delle nanotecnologie alla medicina. Ghiandole artificiali capaci di rilevare il cancro e somministrare autonomamente il medicinale; nanovaccini che risvegliano il sistema immunitario; diagnosi effettuate attraverso una semplice analisi delle proteine; robot chirurghi e sofisticati manichini-pazienti su cui fare pratica. Non è fantascienza, ma solo una parte di quanto si sta sperimentando al Methodist Hospital Research Institute di Houston, Texas, diretto da Ferrari, che spiega: "Con la chemioterapia solo una cellula medicinale su 100 mila raggiunge il bersaglio. Noi lanciamo minuscoli missili multistadio simili a quelli usati nei programmi spaziali, carichi di farmaci che centrano solo le cellule tumorali senza disperdere sostanze tossiche nell'organismo". In questo appassionato reportage Michele Cucuzza racconta del suo incontro a Houston col professore e la sua équipe di giovani collaboratori provenienti da tutto il mondo. Matematici, chimici, biologi, ingegneri e medici coalizzati nella missione comune di sconfiggere il cancro. Una finestra aperta sul futuro della scienza medica, ma anche su una realtà, quella americana, che punta enormi risorse pubbliche e private sulla ricerca e sull'innovazione. Al contrario di quanto accade nel nostro Paese.

What you must think of me: a firsthand account of one teenager's experience with social anxiety disorder

We've all felt occasional pangs of shyness and self-consciousness, but for the 15 million Americans with social anxiety disorder, the fear of being scrutinized and criticized can reach disabling proportions. Such was the case for Emily Ford, who shares her firsthand experiences in these pages. Emily's true story of fear, struggle, and ultimate triumph is sure to resonate with other socially anxious teenagers and young adults. Emily's frank, often witty, sometimes poignant account of how she negotiated all the obstacles of social anxiety--and eventually overcame them with the help of therapy and hard work--makes for compelling reading. Yet this book is more than just a memoir. Emily's story is coupled with the latest medical and scientific information about the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and self-management of social anxiety disorder (or SAD). Readers will find a wealth of solid advice and genuine inspiration here. In engaging, accessible language--and with the help of psychiatrist Michael Liebowitz--she discusses what is known and not known about social anxiety disorder in adolescents. She outlines the various psychotherapies available for those with SAD and explains how to seek professional help, how to talk to family and friends about the illness, and how to handle difficult social situations. The result is both an absorbing story and a useful guide that will help to ease the isolation caused by SAD, encouraging young people to believe that, with commitment and hard work, they can overcome this illness. Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books written specifically for teens and young adults, What You Must Think of Me will also be a valuable resource for friends and family of those with SAD. It offers much-needed hope to young people, helping them to overcome this illness and lead healthy, productive lives.

Auf Gottes Wegen

Im Tauwetter, auf der Felsenkuppe nach der See zu, stand im letzten Sonnenglanz ein vierzehnjähriger Junge, ganz in sich versunken. Er blickte gen Westen übers Meer hinaus, er blickte gen Osten, auf die Stadt, den Strand, die mächtigen Berge, hinter denen noch höhere Felsengipfel emporragten. Alles in klarer Luft. Der Sturm hatte lange und furchtbarer gewütet, als die ältesten Leute sich entsinnen konnten. Trotz der neuen Mole hatten sich Schiffe im Hafen losgerissen und waren untergegangen. Der Telegraph meldete von Schiffbrüchen die Küste entlang; in der ganzen Umgegend gab es nichts als zerrissene Netze, fortgeschwemmte Fischreusen, verschwundene Bootstege. Und immer noch hatten die Leute Angst, das Schlimmste komme noch erst. Jetzt endlich seit ein paar Stunden war es vorüber; der Sturm hatte sich gelegt, die Windstöße, die ruckweise aufeinander gefolgt waren, hörten auf; kaum noch ein letzter Nachhall war zu spüren. Nur das Meer wollte nicht gehorchen. Die Tiefen aufrühren und dann einfach davonlaufen das geht doch nicht! Wellenzüge, soweit das Auge reichte, höher als haushoch, kamen in endlosen Reihen, mit schaumweißen Kronen und donnerndem Fall. Über Stadt und Strand hin dröhnte ihr Tosen, gewaltig, dumpfrollend, wie Bergrutsche in der Ferne. Jedesmal, wenn die Wogen in voller Höhe gegen die Klippen stürmten, spritzte der Gischt meterhoch empor; von weitem sah es aus, wie wenn weiße Meeresungeheuer der alten Sagen hier ans Land emporzuklimmen versuchten. Aber nur vereinzelte salzige Spritzer gelangten an ihr Ziel. Sie brannten dem Knaben, der da stand, auf der Wange; doch er rührte sich nicht vom Fleck. Gewöhnlich sagten die Leute, nur der tollste Weststurm vermöchte den Wellenschaum so hoch emporzuschleudern; heute kam er bei stiller Luft. Das hatte nur e i n e r erlebt; und das war der Junge!

Or will evil raise its head in a new form, leaving Portia as the prey of the very man her heart desires? Darkness reigns supreme in this haunting tale of love and desperation. 5. Possession of Souls Fear and desperation leave Portia and Vance clinging to threadbare hope as life is given, and taken away. Manipulated, driven by bloodlust and the desire to claim sole possession, the stakes are raised higher than they've ever been before.

Who will survive the final stand?
