No one, of course, believes what Amy says. Amy's drive and determination help her to build a new life, but all she really wants is to find her way back to the life she once had. Or does she?

Book excerpt: Every day, all over the country, teenagers struggle with the realities of bullying. Tormented, ridiculed, and beaten—simply for being who they are—these teens face alienation, humiliation, and even the explicit assertion that they have somehow brought this upon themselves, that they should just blend in. Bullied is a series of short stories exploring the world of these teens from several different viewpoints: the victim, the bully, the gay bystander, the straight friend, the concerned parent. Closeted Bryan wonders why Christian Michaelson doesn't just try to blend in if he hates being bullied so much. Star athlete David isn't a homophobe—after all, he's not afraid of anything. Jonathan, a Christian fundamentalist, must weigh the Bible against peer pressure and what he knows is right when he discovers his childhood friend is gay. Bully victim Chase Devereaux finds an unexpected ally in a brave fellow student. A single mom struggles to accept the reality that her only son is gay. Two tough gay teens are forced to confront their own inner demons when tragedy befalls a classmate they failed to help. And overweight Kirby finds the strength of character to make a friend, which leads to a lifestyle change and a chance at love. Each character grows as an individual as he or she comes to terms with what it means to be a gay teenager in America.

Download or read book Analisi di bilancio Metodi e strumenti per l interpretazione delle dinamiche aziendali Con CD ROM written by Marco Fazzini and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'analisi di bilancio è un processo estremamente semplice per chi ha dimestichezza con il documento contabile e richiede una buona dose di capacità interpretativa, unita ad una conoscenza dei principali strumenti di indagine. In questo libro si vuole accompagnare il lettore lungo un percorso di approfondimento progressivo che lo aiuti ad acquisire dimestichezza prima con le logiche, poi con i ferri del mestiere necessari per esplorare le dinamiche delle imprese. L'analisi di bilancio, in Italia, è considerata una materia relativamente nuova. Fino a un decennio fa i corsi universitari che affrontavano in via esclusiva queste tematiche erano pochi e anche le pubblicazioni sull'argomento erano abbastanza limitate. Il recente interesse per la materia e le varie applicazioni che di essa possono essere fatte in diversi ambiti delle attività economiche hanno contribuito a donarle un'aura di "modernità"; ciò che è nuovo attrae ma talvolta è giudicato complesso e ostico. Ad infondere la convinzione che l'analisi di bilancio sia un argomento difficile ha in parte contribuito una certa letteratura che, per conferire maggiore "scientificità" alla materia, non ha lesinato libri zeppi di formule, indici, sigle e acronimi che possono scoraggiare chi tenta di avvicinarsi a queste tematiche. La bontà di un'analisi non la si misura da quanti indicatori sono impiegati, ma dalla capacità di impiegare quelli giusti per le finalità che si intende perseguire. Questo volume serve proprio ad inquadrare in modo semplice e lineare come si sviluppa l'analisi di bilancio, a comprendere quali sono la sua utilità e allo stesso tempo i suoi limiti e, infine, a chiarire quali strumenti utilizzare.

Download or read book White Teeth written by Zadie Smith and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2003-05-20 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The blockbuster debut novel from "a preternaturally gifted" writer (The New York Times) and author of On Beauty and Swing Time—set against London's racial and cultural tapestry, reveling in the ecstatic hodgepodge of modern life, flirting with disaster, and embracing the comedy of daily existence. Zadie Smith’s dazzling debut caught critics grasping for comparisons and deciding on everyone from Charles Dickens to Salman Rushdie to John Irving and Martin Amis. But the truth is that Zadie Smith’s voice is remarkably, fluently, and altogether wonderfully her own. At the center of this invigorating novel are two unlikely friends, Archie Jones and Samad Iqbal. Hapless veterans of World War II, Archie and Samad and their families become agents of England’s irrevocable transformation. A second marriage to Clara Bowden, a beautiful, albeit tooth-challenged, Jamaican half his age, quite literally gives Archie a second lease on life, and produces Irie, a knowing child whose personality doesn’t quite match her name (Jamaican for “no problem”). Samad’s late-in-life arranged marriage (he had to wait for his bride to be born), produces twin sons whose separate paths confound Iqbal’s every effort to direct them, and a renewed, if selective, submission to his Islamic faith. “[White Teeth] is, like the London it portrays, a restless hybrid of voices, tones, and textures…with a raucous energy and confidence.” —The New York Times Book Review
