A virus that four years earlier wrecked global online networks, causing universal panic and the near-total collapse of economies worldwide. Alex's mundane existence is quickly thrown into turmoil after a series of bizarre encounters and horrific events seem to indicate she has a much bigger role to play in the country's future than she is willing to admit. Alex maintains "I'm just a girl," despite the growing evidence to the contrary and the voices she hears in her head telling her something quite different. Alex's raw and unfiltered narration take the reader on a strange journey filled with unforgettable characters, emotional upheaval, and unexpected twists leading to a suspenseful and surprising conclusion.

Because now Marie and Nathalie’s wildest fantasies are coming true… for real! Let’s hope that years of practice have readied the girls for this new challenge, because they’re headed back in time on a magical quest to a new realm, where they must defeat their physics teacher, a master of black magic and sinister kidnappings!

This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating Space for Ourselves as Minoritized and Marginalized Faculty moves away from conventional faculty success books by providing early career faculty with innovative perspectives about successfully navigating the professoriate, while humanizing their lived experiences and naming the unspoken. Through the use of interdisciplinary methods, such as creative artistic expression, testimonios, and personal narratives, chapter authors share experiences learned about surviving, thriving, navigating, and succeeding as early career underrepresented and marginalized faculty. Chapters discuss issues such as navigating workplace hostility, finding community beyond the academy, work–life balance, and crafting a scholarly identity, while also offering little-known tips about how to survive the professoriate while growing into thriving minoritized and underrepresented scholars. This book explores personal and institutional factors that are seldom discussed in other career success books, helping faculty as well as institutional leaders understand how we can, individually and collectively, create systems that invite and recognize humanity while ensuring successful career pathways for marginalized folks with doctoral degrees.

Download or read book Hyperbole and a Half written by Allie Brosh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

The Killing (Book 4): Leon is a small-time crook who's ridden his luck for three decades. When he starts splashing big money around, the cops are desperate to know where it came from. So they call in CHERUB. James Adams' latest mission looks routine, but the plot he begins to unravel isn't what anyone expected. And the only person who might know the truth is a reclusive eighteen-year-old boy. There's just one problem. The boy fell to his death thirteen months earlier. Divine Madness (Book 5): When CHERUB uncovers a link between eco-terrorist group Help Earth and a wealthy religious cult known as The Survivors, James Adams is sent to Australia on an infiltration mission. It's his toughest job so far. The Survivors' outback headquarters are completely isolated, and the cult's brainwashing techniques mean James is under massive pressure to conform. This time he's not just fighting terrorists. He's got to battle to keep control of his own mind. Man vs Beast (Book 6): Every day thousands of animals die in laboratory experiments. Some say these experiments provide essential scientific knowledge, while others will do anything to prevent them. As CHERUB agents, James and Lauren Adams are stuck in the middle.
