Book excerpt: From the international bestselling author, Hans Olav Lahlum, comes Chameleon People, the fourth murder mystery in the K2 and Patricia series. 1972. On a cold March morning the weekend peace is broken when a frantic young cyclist rings on Inspector Kolbjørn 'K2' Kristiansen's doorbell, desperate to speak to the detective. Compelled to help, K2 lets the boy inside, only to discover that he is being pursued by K2's colleagues in the Oslo police. A bloody knife is quickly found in the young man's pocket: a knife that matches the stab wounds of a politician murdered just a few streets away. The evidence seems clear-cut, and the arrest couldn't be easier. But with the suspect's identity unknown, and the boy refusing to speak, K2 finds himself far from closing the case. And then there is the question that K2 can't get out of his head: why would a guilty man travel directly to a police detective from the scene of his own brutal crime?

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what drives our drinking? What actually fuels our desire to numb ourselves? Ooh, let’s see… Do you lie awake at night worried about what others think of you? Find yourself cringing whenever anyone asks for a favour because you don’t know how to say no? Experience a virtual panic attack whenever someone tells you they “need to talk”? You’re not alone. Welcome to one of the biggest and sneakiest drinking triggers: the disease to please. Former people-pleaser, and author of the bestselling sobriety memoir, A Happier Hour, Rebecca Weller shared your angst. Her pesky little need to be liked meant she was petrified of being a burden, of doing anything that might hurt somebody’s feelings, and of the slightest confrontation. Now she’s here to help you take your power back. In this book, Rebecca explores the many clumsy, humiliating – and ultimately liberating – lessons we might experience along the way, and how each of us can begin to build a deep and unshakeable confidence. Chameleon: Confessions of a Former People-Pleaser is a book about the danger of giving our power away to others, and the magic of finding our way back to ourselves.

Download or read book Multifaceted Identity of Interethnic Young People written by Sultana Choudhry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of interethnic individuals is one of the most striking demographic changes in Britain over the last decade. Demonstrating both that identity is fluid and multifaceted rather than fixed, and that people of Asian,Black,Chinese and White interethnic backgrounds do not necessarily experience identity conflict as proposed by some social scientists, Multifaceted Identity of Interethnic Young People explores the manner in which interethnic young people define their identities. In doing so, it also looks at their parents and their experiences as interethnic couples in society. Presenting rich new empirical information relating to young people of Black, White, Asian and Chinese interethnic backgrounds, this book also examines the impact that inter-religious relationships have upon young people's sense of identity, whilst also discussing the implications of the election of America's first interethnic president. As such, it will be of interest to social scientists working in the fields of race, ethnicity and identity.

Download or read book A Spell for Chameleon The Parallel Edition Simplified written by Piers Anthony and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piers Anthony’s bestselling Xanth series is one of the cornerstones of fantasy, a lively and whimsical interpretation of a genre often criticized for taking itself too seriously. Anthony’s first Xanth novel, A Spell for Chameleon, was initially edited to target a more traditional audience. Now, in an eBook exclusive, A Spell for Chameleon has been reworked line by line—its language matching the simpler, playful way with words that made Piers Anthony an enduring fan favorite. Xanth is an enchanted land where magic rules, a land of centaurs and dragons and basilisks where every citizen has a unique spell to call their own. For Bink of North Village, however, Xanth is no fairy tale. He alone has no magic. And unless he gets some—and fast!—he will be exiled. Forever. But the Good Magician Humfrey is convinced that Bink does indeed have magic. In fact, both Beauregard the genie and the magic wall chart insist that Bink has magic as powerful as any possessed by the King, the Good Magician Humfrey, or even the Evil Magician Trent. Be that as it may, no one can fathom the nature of Bink’s very special magic. This is even worse than having no magic at all . . . and he still faces exile!

Book excerpt: Aurelia of Rasil'yon, a young elfin sorceress, is poised to discover herself and her world. She embarks upon an epic journey that will take her to many countries, through many bodies and forms, and to dealings with many gods and goddesses, of foreign peoples for whom she once had naught but enmity. This odyssey shall not end until she herself ends--coming to the precipice of goddesshood, and to the end of her mortality. She must confront her elfin racism, the haughty curse of her people, and make common cause with orcs and dwarves and gnomes and humans of various nations. Only then is she able to catch a glimpse of the Codex--that tome of truth, inscrutable, that her Uncle Aurel died attempting to recover. Along the way, she meets and touches many beautiful souls, fights many more evil ones, and begins to learn the measure of her destiny. Will she learn the beauty of revolt and liberation, and win her fight against tyranny? Or will she succumb to the force of Madness in the cosmos, and become a God?

When Thomas Bernardo finds out that his patriotism and special training is being misused. Tomas joined the military because he believed it was a way to escape his crime ridden neighborhood in New York. He wanted to make something positive of his life. Tomas had an unusual ability to learn languages and accents. He became a superior sniper and able to blend into many cultures. His missions were to infiltrate countries for the purpose of neutralizing a supposed threat to strategic interests of the United States. By eliminating a targeted bad guy Tomas believed he was serving his country, until during captivity in Afghanistan he became aware of information that led him to believe there was a terrorist mole, named Kareem Karab, high up in the U. S. government and associated with his operations. Tomas knew too much and attempts were made to kill him on several missions. Bernardos disgust for being duped into committing capital crimes compelled him to exact revenge against Colonel Tag Taggart, the officer who recruited him to the unit. A squad of assassins chases Tomas across international borders until there was a final resolution in Haiti.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine what it would be like to understand the actions and motivations of others - and to know how to apply such knowledge to be a better spouse or parent and a more effective leader, teacher, coach, or salesperson. The Chameleon by Merrick Rosenberg is enjoyable and transformative as it helps readers gain deeper self-awareness, maximize personal strengths, and strengthen relationships. The Chameleon contains 22 fables based on the four personality types as represented by an Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl. Guided by an all-knowing chameleon, the characters help readers gain meaningful insights into understanding themselves and others. The Introduction fable provides an overview of the four personality styles. The remaining fables chronicle the bird's interactions over a one-year period. Each fable is followed by a "Chameleon Wisdom" section that expands on the fable's lessons and provides practical applications of the story's moral. These deeper insights include examples of how to employ the styles to increase effectiveness at work, deepen personal relationships, parent with compassion, and generally live a more fulfilling life.

Download or read book Peacocks Chameleons Centaurs written by Wayne Brekhus and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a gay man living in the suburbs? Do you identify primarily as gay, or suburban, or some combination of the two? For that matter, how does anyone decide what his or her identity is? In this first-ever ethnography of American gay suburbanites, Wayne H. Brekhus demonstrates that who one is depends at least in part on where and when one is. For many urban gay men, being homosexual is key to their identity because they live, work, and socialize in almost exclusively gay circles. Brekhus calls such men "lifestylers" or peacocks. Chameleons or "commuters," on the other hand, live and work in conventional suburban settings, but lead intense gay social and sexual lives outside the suburbs. Centaurs, meanwhile, or "integrators," mix typical suburban jobs and homes with low-key gay social and sexual activities. In other words, lifestylers see homosexuality as something you are, commuters as something you do, and integrators as part of yourself. Ultimately, Brekhus shows that lifestyling, commuting, and integrating embody competing identity strategies that occur not only among gay men but across a broad range of social categories. What results, then, is an innovative work that will interest sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and students of gay culture.
