Book excerpt: Uncontrolled Desire: A Gripping Romance of Secrets, Power, and Forbidden Passion Arya has spent her life focused on one goal: getting into the prestigious Odyssey University. When she earns a hard-fought scholarship, she steps into a world of privilege she never wanted to be a part of. Determined to succeed, Arya battles to keep her distance from the elite students who live by different rules—especially Dominic, the irresistible and arrogant hockey star with a dangerous reputation. But Dominic is more than just the spoiled son of a powerful senator. Beneath his cocky exterior lies a man haunted by loss, searching for something real. Arya, with her sharp mind and fierce independence, becomes the light he never expected. As their worlds collide, an undeniable attraction pulls them closer, and Arya is torn between her ambition and the raw intensity of her feelings for Dominic. As she dives deeper into the shadows of the university's dark secrets—like Dominic's involvement in illegal underground motorcycle races—Arya's carefully built walls begin to crumble. Caught in a whirlwind of desire and danger, she must face the truth: controlling her heart is harder than controlling her future. Will Arya surrender to the pull of forbidden passion, or will the secrets of the elite destroy her? Fans of steamy romance, forbidden love, and heart-pounding drama won't be able to put down "Uncontrolled Desire." Dive into a world of power, lust, and betrayal where nothing is what it seems.

Download or read book The World Until Yesterday written by Jared Diamond and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of No.1 international bestseller Collapse, a mesmerizing portrait of the human past that offers profound lessons for how we can live today Visionary, prize-winning author Jared Diamond changed the way we think about the rise and fall of human civilizations with his previous international bestsellers Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse. Now he returns with another epic - and groundbreaking - journey into our rapidly receding past. In The World Until Yesterday, Diamond reveals how traditional societies around the world offer an extraordinary window onto how our ancestors lived for the majority of human history - until virtually yesterday, in evolutionary terms - and provide unique, often overlooked insights into human nature. Drawing extensively on his decades working in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, Diamond explores how tribal societies approach essential human problems, from childrearing to conflict resolution to health, and discovers we have much to learn from traditional ways of life. He unearths remarkable findings - from the reason why modern afflictions like diabetes, obesity and Alzheimer's are virtually non-existent in tribal societies to the surprising benefits of multilingualism. Panoramic in scope and thrillingly original, The World Until Yesterday provides an enthralling first-hand picture of the human past that also suggests profound lessons for how to live well today. Jared Diamond is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the seminal million-copy-bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, which was named one of TIME's best non-fiction books of all time, and Collapse, a #1 international bestseller. A professor of geography at UCLA and noted polymath, Diamond's work has been influential in the fields of anthropology, biology, ornithology, ecology and history, among others.

Download or read book The Woo Woo written by Lindsay Wong and published by arsenal pulp press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this jaw-dropping, darkly comedic memoir, a young woman comes of age in a dysfunctional Asian family whose members blamed their woes on ghosts and demons when in fact they should have been on anti-psychotic meds. Lindsay Wong grew up with a paranoid schizophrenic grandmother and a mother who was deeply afraid of the “woo-woo”—Chinese ghosts who come to visit in times of personal turmoil. From a young age, she witnessed the woo-woo’s sinister effects; at the age of six, she found herself living in the food court of her suburban mall, which her mother saw as a safe haven because they could hide there from dead people, and on a camping trip, her mother tried to light Lindsay’s foot on fire to rid her of the woo-woo. The eccentricities take a dark turn, however, when her aunt, suffering from a psychotic breakdown, holds the city of Vancouver hostage for eight hours when she threatens to jump off a bridge. And when Lindsay herself starts to experience symptoms of the woo-woo herself, she wonders whether she will suffer the same fate as her family. On one hand a witty and touching memoir about the Asian immigrant experience, and on the other a harrowing and honest depiction of the vagaries of mental illness, The Woo-Woo is a gut-wrenching and beguiling manual for surviving family, and oneself.

Download or read book Bringing the Gospel Home written by Randy Newman and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharing the gospel with a family member can be an exciting experience—and often a long, painful, and confrontational one. Randy Newman recognizes it can be more difficult and frustrating to witness to a family member than to nearly anyone else. In Bringing the Gospel Home, he delivers practical, holistic strategies to help average Christians engage family members and others on topics of faith. A messianic Jew who has led several family members to Christ, Newman urges Christians to look to the Bible before they evangelize. He writes, "a richer understanding of biblical truth, I have found, can provide a firmer foundation for bold witness and clear communication." After a brief introduction on the nature of family, he delves into discussions of grace, truth, love, humility, and time. He also addresses issues related to eternity and end-of-life conversations. Bringing the Gospel Home will help any Christian as he seeks to guide loved ones into God's family.

Download or read book When My Plans Were Crushed He Helped Me Find The Way written by Jenn Mumma and published by Writers Republic LLC. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written after the better part of two years in bed from both physical and mental health problems. I'll get more into that in the book. Journaling was therapeutic for me, and little did I know it would become a book. In this book, I talk about my trials and how I, with God having my back, was able to conquer most of them. I felt, and still feel, like I woke from a coma; and trying to reintegrate into my life was a challenge and at times still is. I want you to walk away from reading this book feeling like with God, you can get through anything life throws at you-because you can! It may not look like what you planned, but it's exactly what God planned. I hope that this book is relatable and gives you inspiration and courage and that you can see where God has touched me throughout my life.

Download or read book Dying For Gold written by Lee Selleck and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-10-29 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 18, 1992 a violent explosion deep in Yellowknife's Giant mine took the lives of nine miners. The men had defied the picket lines that were the scene of violent clashes between the mineworkers and company security forces during a long and bitter strike/lockout. Roger Warren, a veteran miner whose skills were legendary, was convicted of nine counts of murder, but his guilt is disputed to this day. In this stunning, updated 30th anniversary expose, journalists Lee Selleck and Francis Thompson tell the dramatic story behind this tragedy, the vast personal and political fallout, and the lessons that hold true today. Dying For Gold unravels the complex web of events leading up to the explosion and gives incisive portraits of the major players on all sides of the bitter standoff. Selleck and Thompson conducted more than 500 interviews and spent five years writing Dying For Gold. Their work takes you inside the mine, to the picket lines, to the front row of the courtrooms for Roger Warren's trials, and the victims' families' tenacious struggle for compensation and justice. Dying For Gold inspired the CBC's recent, award-winning podcast, Giant – Murder Underground.
