Download or read book White Shadow written by Ace Atkins and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book succeeds both as a first-rate historical novel and as a superb crime story. It packs the emotional wallop of Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River. It is as gritty as James Ellroy’s L.A. Confidential. And yet, the prose is as lyrical as James Lee Burke’s Crusader’s Cross. With White Shadow, Atkins has found his true voice.”—Associated Press 1955: Tampa, Florida is a city pulsing with Sicilian and Cuban gangsters, cigar factories, sweet rum, and violence. The death of retired kingpin Charlie Wall—the White Shadow—has shocked the city, sending cops, reporters, and associates scrambling to find those responsible. As the trail winds through neighborhoods rich and poor, enmeshing the innocent and corrupt alike all the way down to the streets and casinos of Havana, an extraordinary story of revenge, honor, and greed emerges. For Charlie Wall had his secrets—secrets that if discovered could destroy a criminal empire and ignite a revolution.

Download or read book White Shadows written by Philip Temple and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mysterious and evocative, tantalising and erotic, this unique novel explores the qualities of love and obsession. Marienbad, the central European spa resort, is immortalised in the romantic imagination for its legendary doomed love affairs - Goethe and Ulrike von Levetzow, Chopin and Marie Wodzinska, Edward VII and Mizzi Pistl, Franz Kafka and Felice Bauer. In a Marienbad winter, within its ambience of history and allusion, theatre and illusion, a modern pair of lovers look for the cure that eluded all their famous precursors. Echoing the déjà vu of Alain Resnais' classic movie Last Year at Marienbad, they track the pristine forest snows in pursuit of answers to questions that all lovers have sought throughout history. 'White Shadows is enormously satisfying; a beautiful mood piece perfectly evoking the aimless existence of those who seek but never seem to be satisfied, in a town with ever-present reminders that death and decay lie in wait for the seekers.' - Otago Daily Times

Download or read book People Centered Social Innovation written by Swati Banerjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Innovation is emerging as an alternate interdisciplinary development pathway of knowledge and practice that aims to understand and address contemporary complexities and multi – dimensional social realities. BEPA (2011) defines social innovation as, ‘innovations that are social in both their ends and means’. However, though Social Innovation is a widely-used term; its conceptual understanding and the specific relation to social change remains under explored. People Centered Social Innovation: Global perspectives on an Emerging Paradigm attempts to revisit and extend the existing understanding of Social Innovation in practice by focusing upon the lived realities of marginalized groups and communities. The emerging field of people-centered development is placed in dialogue with theory and concepts from the more established field of social innovation to create a new approach; one that adopts a global perspective, engaging with very different experiences of marginality across the global north and south. Theoretically, ‘People Centered Social Innovation: Global Perspectives on an Emerging Paradigm’ draws upon ‘northern’ understandings of change and improvement as well as ‘southern’ theory concerns for epistemological diversity and meaning making. The result is an experiment aimed at reimagining research and practice that seriously needs to center the actor in processes of social transformation.
Download or read book A New Youth written by Elisabetta Ruspini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Youth? provides a cross-cultural perspective on the challenges and problems posed by young people's transition to adulthood. The authors address questions such as: What are the experiences of being young in different European countries? What can we learn about the differences of being young in non-European countries? Are young people developing new attitudes towards society? What are the risks associated with the transition of youth to adulthood? Can we identify new attitudes about citizenship? On a more general level, are there experiences and new social meanings associated with youth? The volume is comparative between various European and non-European countries in order to identify the emerging models of transition. These characteristics are connected with broader social, political and cultural changes: changes related to extended education, increasing women's participation in the labour market, changing welfare regimes, as well as changes in political regimes and in the representation and construction of individual identities and biographies, towards an increasing individualization. The work offers critical reflections in the realm of sociology of youth by providing broader understandings of the term 'youth'. The detailed analysis of new forms of marginality and social exclusion among young people offers valuable insight for policy development and political debate.
Download or read book tr sarv kingar written by Alaric Hall and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the global banking boom of the early twenty-first century expanded towards implosion, Icelandic media began calling the country's celebrity financiers útrásarvíkingar: “raiding vikings.” This new coinage encapsulated the macho, medievalist nationalism which underwrote Iceland's exponential financialisation. Yet within a few days in October 2008, Iceland saw all its main banks collapse beneath debts worth nearly ten times the country's GDP.Hall charts how Icelandic novelists and poets grappled with the Crash over the ensuing decade. As the first English-language monograph devoted to twenty-first-century Icelandic literature, it provides Anglophone readers with an introduction to one of the world's liveliest literary scenes. It also contributes a key case study for understanding global artistic responses to the early twenty-first century crisis of runaway, unregulated capitalism, exploring the struggles of writers to adapt realist forms of art to surreal times.As Iceland's biggest crisis since their independence from Denmark in 1944, the effect of the Crash on the national self-image was as seismic as its effects on the economy. This study analyses the centrality of whiteness and the abjection of the “developing world” in Iceland's post-colonial identity, and shows how Crash-writing explores the collisions of Iceland's traditional, nationalist medievalism with a dystopian, Orientalist medievalism associated with the Islamic world.The Crash in Iceland was instantly recognised as offering important economic insights. This book shows how Iceland also helps us to understand the cultural convulsions that have followed the Financial Crisis widely in the West.
Download or read book Social Work in Europe written by Charlotte Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an acknowledged if not accepted fact that all European societies are being fundamentally transformed, and indeed perceptively unsettled, by increased migrations across nations and by the asserted presence of established minorities within their borders. The scale and speed at which these transformations have taken place have brought in their wake considerable social impacts and no small measure of fear and anxiety. Encounters with such diversity are part and parcel of the social work task, and learning how to negotiate them should be a de facto aspect of the training and continuous professional development of social workers and other social professions. However, the moral and political dimensions of the role, scope and nature of the social work task in responding appropriately to these changed and changing realities are rather more contested. This volume addresses many dimensions of the response to issues of race and ethnicity in social work practice in Europe. It extends the debates on inter-cultural and race equality practice in social work through a stimulating and innovative collection of contributions. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Social Work.

It all started with a mysterious client, asking us to retrieve an artifact known as the Grimstone. We were sure it was just a myth, along with the so-called Shadow Age it had come from. But in the course of our journey...having successfully recovered the Grimstone...we learned that, not only was the Shadow Age very real... ...it had never truly ended. Choices have consequences, even if you're the famous sea captain Zale "the Gale" Murdoch. Following their quest for the mythical Grimstone, Zale, his daughter Starlina, and the entire crew find their home town of Warvonia in a dire state. Once a major sea hub, the harbor is in ruin, covered in life-threatening darkfrost. High Count Vidimir Tefu, Zale's former client, will stop at nothing to restore the full might of Void, what he views as the kingdom's salvation. Ancient forces and sorcery from the Shadow Age itself are rallied against Zale, his crew, and his home. Meanwhile, as Starlina Murdoch witnesses both her father and her fiance, Jensen fall to the Shadow's devices, she must find strength within herself she never knew existed to take up her father's quest for the Eye of Shi'kha, all the while wondering if she will ever see Jensen or her father again. Can Zale, Starlina, and the motley crew of Murdoch's Mates recover the darkest, once-concealed powers of Void and Shadow and hope to control them before it's too late? Find out in Murdoch's Shadow!

Download or read book Amoretti written by Billie Chernicoff and published by Lunar Chandelier Collective. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An old chest. Rosewood. No, camphor, aromatic, intricately carved, scenes from some fairy tale -- maiden tames fierce beast. Something you simply happen upon. Its contents stunning, treasure, garlands of pearls, gold coins, taffeta, rubies, emeralds, silks, velvets, musk, maybe even tweed. Dip your hands into it, bury your face in what’s lifted up, then spills back down through your fingers. Thus, the crisp, sweet language of Amoretti itself cascades, a gorgeous, elegant, yet fierce and precise, consistent delimitation. These poor words of mine lack all the beauty and subtlety of the poems they try so hard to tell you about, give you news of. Luscious and carnal, not a wrong note. Sterling music. Billie Chernicoff’s work surveys then traces a path through the garden of itself, never fumbles describing its captivities therein: animal, mineral, vegetal, angelic. Her rhetoric is flawless. Deceptively delicate, its vocabulary surprises. Just as the nuance of feeling remains absolute yet immediate. —Thomas Meyer For our words touch things (they do!) and, touching them, unbind this world. But nowhere, least of all in Billie’s poetry, is this unbinding any sort of loss. She has said “alkahest” stronger than anyone has, and has freed this world into our being, our measuring, our range we discover as we read her—how far and how near we can be in her spiritual sight. Meanwhile Billie waits with Solomon in her arms, waits a while under a native cedar, trusting all things, trees and you. She trusts the word, writes one, and allows this one, properly, all of the time in this world. She trusts the word and, when it is time, I am amazed to say, it praises her with its own completed silence. Then silence honors her with another word, this one, a sheaf of the world to come. —Joel Newberger
