Book excerpt: Good guy Karl Bender is a thirty-something bar owner whose life lacks love and meaning. When he stumbles upon a time-travelling worm hole in his closet, Karl and his best friend Wayne develop a side business selling access to people who want to travel back in time to listen to their favorite bands. It's a pretty ingenious plan, until Karl, intending to send Wayne to 1980, transports him back to 980 instead. Though Wayne sends texts extolling the quality of life in tenth century "Mannahatta," Karl is distraught that he can't bring his friend back. Enter brilliant, prickly, overweight astrophysicist, Lena Geduldig. Karl and Lena's connection is immediate. While they work on getting Wayne back, Karl and Lena fall in love -- with time travel, and each other. Unable to resist meddling with the past, Karl and Lena bounce around time. When Lena ultimately prevents her own long-ago rape, she alters the course of her life and threatens her future with Karl. A high-spirited and engaging novel, EVERY ANXIOUS WAVE plays ball with the big questions of where we would go and who we would become if we could rewrite our pasts, as well as how to hold on to love across time.

Robin Thornton was adopted from an orphanage in India and is reluctant to take on his future. If he can’t find his roots, how can he possibly plan ahead?

As bonds build between the travelmates, Robin and Kat discover that justice and healing are tangled, like the pain of their pasts and the hope for their futures. You can’t rewind life; sometimes you just have to push play. In turns heart wrenching, beautiful, and buoyant, Mitali Perkins's Forward Me Back to You focuses its lens on the ripple effects of violence—across borders and generations—and how small acts of heroism can break the cycle.

Download or read book Good Boys Poems written by Megan Fernandes and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of rising nationalism and geopolitical instability, Megan Fernandes’s Good Boys offers a complex portrait of messy feminist rage, negotiations with race and travel, and existential dread in the Anthropocene. The collection follows a restless, nervy, cosmically abandoned speaker failing at the aspirational markers of adulthood as she flips from city to city, from enchantment to disgust, always reemerging—just barely—on the trains and bridges and bar stools of New York City. A child of the Indian Ocean diaspora, Fernandes enacts the humor and devastation of what it means to exist as a body of contradictions. Her interpretations are muddied. Her feminism is accusatory, messy. Her homelands are theoretical and rootless. The poet converses with goats and throws a fit at a tarot reading; she loves the intimacy of strangers during turbulent plane rides and has dark fantasies about the “hydrogen fruit” of nuclear fallout. Ultimately, these poems possess an affection for the doomed: false beloveds, the hounded earth, civilizations intent on their own ruin. Fernandes skillfully interrogates where to put our fury and, more importantly, where to direct our mercy.

Download or read book Enlightenment Is Sexy written by Valerie Gangas and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living life from the INSIDE OUT is the only way to roll. There is a whole world inside of you waiting to be tapped into. Once you begin paying attention to your inner world (instead of non-stop focusing on trends, fashions and TV shows), once you start identifying what's working for you and what's not, once you clarify what you really want and understand that you have a choice in whether or not and HOW you manifest it, get ready for radical change to start happening! Because nothing short of a truly magical life is your birthright....and Enlightenment Is Sexy is your guide to living it! A few years ago, the book's author, Valerie Gangas, learned Transcendental Meditation and during her first meditation, she had what some people call an awakening: She began to see EVERYTHING about life differently than she had in the past. In her own words, it was a sudden and profound shift in perception, so much so that it became crystal clear that our INNER life is what generates ALL the juice, ALL the goodies, ALL the righteous experiences any of us have ever had and will ever have. And so Valerie started living in a completely new way-from the inside out. As a result, she can now play at creating a better existence every day... more and more richly rewarding life experiences (e.g. relationships, health, job, travel, studies) every day! And what she's found is that all of us-every single person on the planet-is WAY more radiant, attractive, and yes, sexy, when that inner life is lit up like a blazing sun! This, she says, is how to lead an enlightened, magical life! Indeed, wouldn't it be amazing to have such a strong sense of self that you effortlessly attract the perfect partner, an amazing job or whatever it is your heart has longed for, but has eluded you for what seems like your whole life? And what if that same, well-developed sense of who you are would naturally bring you more happiness than you ever dreamed of? According to Ms. Gangas, not only is all of that possible; it's your birthright!

Download or read book Wild Woman written by Philippa Forrester and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging blend of conservation stories and humorous, personal anecdotes from Philippa Forrester about women who, like her, choose to live and work in the wild. Surviving in the wilderness has long been associated with men, and conservation and environmental biology have traditionally been male-dominated subjects. Yet many remarkable women also choose to live and work in wild and challenging landscapes. In Wild Woman, Philippa Forrester considers the grit and determination required for women to maintain connections to wildlife and shares stories of female conservation heroes and other extraordinary wild women working in nature. Talking to women from around the world, Philippa studies and celebrates what it means to be a wild woman. From the sixteenth-century botanist who was the first woman to circumnavigate the globe to modern-day women responding to bear attacks in Yellowstone, working to rewild reserves in South Africa, photographing Caribou in the Arctic and more, Philippa examines how these women benefit from a life spent in the wilderness and also considers what the natural world gains from them. Relating some of her own experiences from three decades spent travelling around the world and working in some of the wildest places on Earth, Philippa asks: what does it take for a woman to live or work in the wild?

Download or read book Groupon s Biggest Deal Ever written by Frank Sennett and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inside story of the meteoric rise of Groupon from startup to $30 billion online giant and the audacious genius behind it, founder Andrew Mason In late 2010, Groupon made an incredible gamble. Rather than take Google's $6 billion buyout offer, founder Andrew Mason turned the search giant down and decided to go it alone. The experts thought he was insane. Groupon was little more than two years old and staffed from top to bottom with twenty-somethings. The wild ride couldn't last, but Mason thought otherwise, and with knowledge of a possible IPO he liked his odds. A discount service that offers a deal a day at local merchants in countless cities in more than forty-three countries, Groupon is the fastest-growing company in Internet history and is as committed to innovating a new model for commerce as it is to creating an office culture and editorial voice based on radical transparency and absurd humor. Groupon's Biggest Deal Ever is the exclusive and unparalleled account of the incredible rise of discount giant Groupon and the compelling story of its offbeat founder Andrew Mason as he created a juggernaut of online commerce and ignited a consumer revolution.
