Book excerpt: "A quick read that history lovers will easily devour."—Teen Vogue "Get ready to be transported to Paris in Taylor's incredible debut novel."—Seventeen, Editor's Choice Code Name Verity meets Jennifer Donnelly’s Revolution in this gripping debut novel. NOW: Sixteen-year-old Alice is spending the summer in Paris, but she isn’t there for pastries and walks along the Seine. When her grandmother passed away two months ago, she left Alice an apartment in France that no one knew existed. An apartment that has been locked for more than seventy years. Alice is determined to find out why the apartment was abandoned and why her grandmother never once mentioned the family she left behind when she moved to America after World War II. With the help of Paul, a charming Parisian student, she sets out to uncover the truth. However, the more time she spends digging through the mysteries of the past, the more she realizes there are secrets in the present that her family is still refusing to talk about. THEN: Sixteen-year-old Adalyn doesn’t recognize Paris anymore. Everywhere she looks, there are Nazis, and every day brings a new horror of life under the Occupation. When she meets Luc, the dashing and enigmatic leader of a resistance group, Adalyn feels she finally has a chance to fight back. But keeping up the appearance of being a much-admired socialite while working to undermine the Nazis is more complicated than she could have imagined. As the war goes on, Adalyn finds herself having to make more and more compromises—to her safety, to her reputation, and to her relationships with the people she loves the most.

Download or read book Psychotherapy for Pregnancy Loss written by Rayna D. Markin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The guiding initiative behind this book was to take the most current research in the field on the therapy relationship and apply it to a specific clinical context, that of psychotherapy for pregnancy loss. This notion was born from over 60 years of research on the association between the therapy relationship and treatment outcome (Norcross & Lambert, 2019) and the author's clinical experiences conducting weekly outpatient psychotherapy with both individuals and couples struggling to come to terms with the loss of a pregnancy or unborn baby. During which, a supportive and understanding relationship is often all one truly has to offer a grieving parent. Consistent with this, this book maps out an approach to psychotherapy for pregnancy loss wherein it is not the therapist's theoretical orientation or specific techniques per say that are believed to predict treatment outcome, but a focus on the relationship and the functions (e.g., affect regulation, self-esteem maintenance, empathy, support) it provides grieving parents"--

Download or read book Everyday Life in the Spectacular City written by Rana AlMutawa and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday Life in the Spectacular City is a groundbreaking urban ethnography that reveals how middle-class citizens and longtime residents of Dubai interact with the city's so-called superficial spaces to create meaningful social lives. Rana AlMutawa shows that inhabitants adapt themselves to top-down development projects, from big malls to megaprojects. These structures serve residents' evolving social needs, transforming Dubai's spectacular spaces into personally important cultural sites. These practices are significant because they expand our understanding of agency as not only subversive but also adaptive. Through extensive fieldwork, AlMutawa, herself an Emirati native to Dubai, finds a more nuanced story of belonging. This story does not seek to uncover the "real" city that lies beneath the veneer of the spectacle, but rather to demonstrate that social meanings and forms of belonging take place within the spectacle itself. By offering an alternative to the discourse of authenticity and elucidating the dynamics of ambivalent belonging, AlMutawa belies stereotypes that portray Dubai's developments as alienating and inherently disempowering. Everyday Life in the Spectacular City speaks beyond the Middle East to a globalized phenomenon, for Dubai's spectacles are unexceptional in today's changing world.
