In the meantime, the current editions will be for sale on, Barnes and, and, and the payments will go in their entirety to me and my collaborators. I’d also like to have them available in hardcopy and as audio books. Re-launching the books with new covers will take some time, obviously. Ridan has NOT removed the books from its website yet do not purchase my books there or on iTunes, where, for technical reasons, there is difficulty transferring the titles. Ridan cooperated on sending us the files, and we have confirmed that royalty payments have been paid. We will be working to create new editions with different covers, updating the files to take Ridan’s name off them, etc., but the books - and the money - are now ours, rather than Ridan’s. Great news! The StarBridge books available for sale as e-books on Amazon, B&N, and have now been transferred back to me and my collaborators.

For decades, Turkey’s Kurds have had conflicts with the Republic of Turkish State for their identity needs, and Turkey has had same conflicts in the context of nation-building and security. This paper will explore one of Conflict Resolution perspective’s theory which is called as Human Needs Theory in the context of Turkey’s Kurdish question. These sources indicate that while all these French women positioned themselves as mediators of colonialism and women's rights, their precise interpretations of that mediation were consistently influenced by local concerns. Tensions among UFSF members are traced here through the literary figure Elissa Rhaïs, articles in the feminist newspaper La Française and correspondence among UFSF members. Where these women lived shaped their understanding of French women's roles in the colonies, along with their opinions regarding the rights to which colonised women could lay claim. The organisation had branches in North Africa, and thus feminists in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia are compared to those in France. It does so through an analysis of how militants and novelists linked with the Union Française pour le Suffrage des Femmes (French Union for Women's Suffrage, UFSF) perceived the Arab and Berber women of colonial North Africa. This article considers why and how locality influenced feminists’ perceptions of colonised women. Crosley has taken up the gauntlets thrown by her predecessors-Dorothy Parker, Nora Ephron, David Sedaris-and crafted something rare, affecting, and true. And as her subjects become more serious, her essays deliver not just laughs but lasting emotional heft and insight. In Look Alive Out There, whether it's scaling active volcanoes, crashing shivas, playing herself on Gossip Girl, befriending swingers, or staring down the barrel of the fertility gun, Crosley continues to rise to the occasion with unmatchable nerve and electric one-liners.

She stays consistently funny and delivers a book that is alive and jumping." ― Steve Martin Most people slip by in life without a passion for God, spending their lives on trivial diversions, living for comfort and pleasure, and perhaps trying to avoid sin. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives." The wasted life is the life without this passion. "God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life. Now they live in Punta Gorda, Florida, where they cruise on their 30-foot trawler, play softball and collect shells.' Picture them before Christ at the great day of judgement: 'Look, Lord. Consider this story from the February 1998 Reader's Digest: A couple 'took early retirement from their jobs in the Northeast five years ago when he was 59 and she was 51. John Piper writes, "I will tell you what a tragedy is. I see Sylvie sitting sideways out of the back of the policeman’s car, her feet drumming on the wet pavement as she talks. I can see it-the rain-slicked road and the flashing lights of ambulance and police cars cutting through the darkness of night, warning those passing by: catastrophe has struck here, please drive slowly. What they do not know, the cause of the argument, is crucial to the story of me. The story lurking underneath and in between the facts of the one they can see. What they do not know is that there is another story. It is, in other people’s opinions, not important to the story. No one ever says what they were arguing about. In a few weeks, Finny would be turning nineteen. It was raining, of course, and with his girlfriend, Sylvie Whitehouse, he glided through the rain in the red car his father had given him on his sixteenth birthday. I wasn’t with Finny on that August night, but my imagination has burned the scene in my mind so that it feels like a memory. Since the Wall Street Crash in 1929, financial meltdowns have repeatedly sent shockwaves through our world. The global economy has weathered the most tumultuous century in modern financial history. The book is brief and pacy, too' - Guardian Yueh’s book is refreshingly free of this, and she writes lucidly about a century of crashes around the world. 'Economics is somewhat cursed as a fascinating topic that often gets bogged down by stodgy explanation and maths. Her refreshing approach, defined by clarity and comprehensible explanations of a complex field, is then applied to other emergencies since the 1930s, including the Latin American debt crisis and the dotcom boom and bust." - The TimesĪ gifted writer (een begenadigd schrijver) ― De Telegraaf "Yueh’s analysis of the Great Crash is as great a single-chapter account of what went wrong as any yet published.

And we certainly don't understand that what we talk about and how we talk about it determine whether our relationships will thrive, flatline, or fail. As Susan writes, "It's as if we've pulled off our own wings." As couples, we don't stop to think how important our conversations are. This can lead to fighting, resentment, or, worse, complacency-where you are just going through the motions, more like roommates than two people in love. Often in our romantic relationships, we long for deep connection, but we don't know how to communicate well and sometimes withhold what we're really thinking and feeling. It was fun to see the fight and the struggle. No lines of consent were blurred, and I LOVED every second of this book. At the 3% mark, a safeword is stated, and Jafar always checked in and adjusted his approach. The number one thing that I enjoyed with this book is the incredibly sexy consent. Even though this book was right up my alley, I was incredibly nervous to read it. I’m a fan of dark romances and erotica, and Aladdin was one of my favorite movies when I grew up. I will admit, I’ve wanted to read this book ever since I knew it existed. It’s probably one of my top reads for the year. Now Jafar owns me, and even as my mind rails against his rules, my body loves the punishments he deals out when I break them.īut a gilded cage is still a prison, I’ll do anything to obtain my freedom.Įven betray the man I’m falling for. Walk away with nothing but my freedom… Or rise to his challenge and win my fortune back. As my world burned down around me, he offered me a choice. One night, and my entire life went up in flames. The main character, Sheila, deals with her self-doubt, her ambitions as a playwright, and figures out platonic friendships as well as a dominating sexual one-all the while trying make sense of her experience, with anxiety, hilarity, and lots of great conversation. It reflects life in its incredible humor-and in some of its weird bits that might be muddled or unclear. Part memoir, part fiction, it plays with the idea of ecstatic truths in exploring reality-documentary conventions, and it includes transcribed conversations and personal emails as well as prose. It’s drawn praise from everyone from The New Yorker‘s James Wood to, well, Girls‘ Lena Dunham herself.ĭespite its title, Heti’s autobiographical novel doesn’t attempt to provide any definitive answers of how any one thing “should be”-but it is enlightening, profoundly intelligent, and charming to read. It is the ideal climate for Sheila Heti’s fifth book, How Should A Person Be? to be released in the United States. Female coming of age provides an endless wellspring for artists to draw from and critics to debate-most recently spurred and exhausted by HBO’s Girls. |
