Download or read book Jealousy written by Marsha Jenkins-Sanders and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much should beauty determine a person’s worth in society, and how far will one woman go to gain approval? Rochelle Jackson is a woman born without, as she calls it, the “pretty gene.” Without makeup, she believes she more closely resembles a man, and she hasn’t revealed to anyone that she prefers dating women—though she isn’t noticed by anyone of any gender. This mix of repressing volatile emotions and the simmering resentment bred by years of rejection becomes the destructive force behind her scheme to dethrone Dakota North, Rochelle’s beautiful cousin and a prima donna in her own right. Rochelle is ready to emerge, for the first time, from Dakota’s shadow. When Rochelle lets loose with her vicious plan, it becomes an all-out war that will leave both parties changed forever. In the compelling tradition of E. Lynn Harris, Jealousy has an emotionally wrenching plot and characters dealing with tough issues. Jenkins-Sanders skillfully explores the emotional issues of cravings approval, power, and validation, which is intertwined with struggles of bisexuality and homosexuality. Jenkins-Sanders’s powerful novel questions our values and provides a fresh perspective on the fight for power and identity in a world full of negative self-image.
Download or read book The Lethal Elixir written by Iswardas and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain images create an inerasable imprint. Like… “…the images of two mothers…my Ma and my Ayah. One in the form of Sita, that mythological heroine from Ramayana who silently withstood the onslaught of miseries as well as sufferings… the other embodying the spirit of the mythological figure of Nemesis, synonymous with retribution and revenge and destroying the devil and evil.” “…With a blood-soaked butcher knife on the right hand and blood-stained heavy metal rod on the other, with bloody scars and spats on the face and dress all around, the figure appeared with a posture firm and strong.” “He… turned around only to see a wearied, downcast Gopal in the elevator mirror… Here he was standing like a convict in a jail cell for no fault of his. He felt sympathy… for that prisoner of life. In that life, Lady Justice had been truly wearing the blindfold while tilting the balance of the scales first with hope and happiness and then dumping the other side with desolateness and depression.” The bouquet of stories thus is a microcosm of the eternal tussle between man and destiny. The resultant conflict of forces and the perennial dilemma that overwhelm the society at large are portrayed in detail using the apt situation and the right character. The book is embellished with such enduring images.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It’s 2025, and a tech war between the U.S., Russia and China has culminated in the collapse of power grids across the world with technology becoming obsolete.” A young high school football coach and his family watch helplessly as their power grid goes down — with no warning. They can’t access their bank to get any money, they can’t call the police when they hear people breaking into houses in their neighborhood. They can’t buy gas for their generator and as they’re cleaning out what’s left to eat in the refrigerator, Coach comes up with a plan. His father had left him a cabin in the woods in South Carolina. They could go there and get away from the looting to survive by hunting and fishing. There were fruit trees on the property and they had planted blackberry bushes a couple years ago that should be producing by now. Little did they know how soon foreign powers would have them in their cross hairs and would do anything to steal their secret.”

Download or read book Handbook of Arabic Literacy written by Elinor Saiegh-Haddad and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a synopsis of recently published empirical research into the acquisition of reading and writing in Arabic. Its particular focus is on the interplay between the linguistic and orthographic structure of Arabic and the development of reading and writing/spelling. In addition, the book addresses the socio-cultural, political and educational milieu in which Arabic literacy is embedded. It enables readers to appreciate both the implications of empirical research to literacy enhancement and the challenges and limitations to the applicability of such insights in the Arabic language and literacy context. The book will advance the understanding of the full context of literacy acquisition in Arabic with the very many factors (religious, historical, linguistic etc.) that interact and will hence contribute to weakening the anglocentricity that dominates discussions of this topic.
Download or read book Whose Muse written by James Cuno and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the economic boom of the 1990s, art museums expanded dramatically in size, scope, and ambition. They came to be seen as new civic centers: on the one hand as places of entertainment, leisure, and commerce, on the other as socially therapeutic institutions. But museums were also criticized for everything from elitism to looting or illegally exporting works from other countries, to exhibiting works offensive to the public taste. Whose Muse? brings together five directors of leading American and British art museums who together offer a forward-looking alternative to such prevailing views. While their approaches differ, certain themes recur: As museums have become increasingly complex and costly to manage, and as government support has waned, the temptation is great to follow policies driven not by a mission but by the market. However, the directors concur that public trust can be upheld only if museums continue to see their core mission as building collections that reflect a nation's artistic legacy and providing informed and unfettered access to them. The book, based on a lecture series of the same title held in 2000-2001 by the Harvard Program for Art Museum Directors, also includes an introduction by Cuno and a fascinating--and surprisingly frank--roundtable discussion among the participating directors. A rare collection of sustained reflections by prominent museum directors on the current state of affairs in their profession, this book is without equal. It will be read widely not only by museum professionals, trustees, critics, and scholars, but also by the art-loving public itself.

Download or read book Asymmetric Warfare written by Rod Thornton and published by Polity. This book was released on 2007-02-12 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the nature of conflict has changed. Through asymmetric warfare radical groups and weak state actors are using unexpected means to deal stunning blows to more powerful opponents in the West. From terrorism to information warfare, the Wests air power, sea power and land power are open to attack from clever, but much weaker, enemies. In this clear and engaging introduction, Rod Thornton unpacks the meaning and significance of asymmetric warfare, in both civilian and military realms, and examines why it has become such an important subject for study. He seeks to provide answers to key questions, such as how weaker opponents apply asymmetric techniques against the Western world, and shows how the Wests military superiority can be seriously undermined by asymmetric threats. The book concludes by looking at the ways in which the US, the state most vulnerable to asymmetric attack, is attempting to cope with some new battlefield realities. This is an indispensable guide to one of the key topics in security studies today.
