Описание:
First published in 1928, "Quicksand" is the first novel by American author Nella Larsen. It is the semi-autobiographical tale of a young, mixed race woman who struggles to find her place in the world. Like her main character, Helga Crane, Larsen was the daughter of a Danish white mother and a West Indian black father who disappeared from her life as a baby. Larsen and the fictional Crane never feel that they belong in either the white world or the black world and both travel around the United States and to Europe in search for a place that feels like home. "Quicksand" is an important novel of the Harlem Renaissance and one of the few novels of its time to explore the sexual feelings of women of color. Helga is a lovely and refined woman, a complicated and nuanced character, who is searching for meaning and purpose in her life. She is also far ahead of her time as she is self-reliant, adventurous, and intent on taking her fate into her own hands. This deeply personal story of a woman's difficult search for acceptance and human connection while caught between two worlds remains to this day an insightful and thought-provoking novel. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
How do you define forgiveness? According to Nella Coiro, "forgiveness is the highest form of self-love."
The idea for The Forgiveness Journey was born when the author began to explore resentments that she had been struggling with for decades, and realized the degree of negative impact they still had on her life. She said, "I was particularly struggling with forgiveness issues concerning my mother, so I decided to explore this relationship from a broader lens, including what my mother's perspective might have been concerning our struggles."
The author asserts that the topic of forgiveness is something many people struggle with, and misconceptions can add to this struggle. "We seem to think that if we forgive, then the offender has won. We need to expand our perceptions of forgiving."
Using a combination of research, interviews, therapeutic models, and her own personal experience, Nella will take you through the steps needed to forgive those who have offended you, move past your victim stories, forgive those who have not apologized, and move on with your life.
This important book gives you the tools you need to achieve self-empowerment and transformation, including mindfulness exercises, action plans, checklists, and the good old-fashioned wisdom of someone who has been in your position before. The Forgiveness Journey shows that finding forgiveness is about releasing yourself from the shackles tying you to the past.
The Forgiveness Journey is for anyone who is sick and tired of embracing the pain of chronic resentments. "They need to be ready, and understand that forgiveness is a choice for self-healing and personal growth. Forgiveness is for the forgiver, not for the person they are forgiving." Remember: the road to forgiveness is a journey, and Nella Coiro is here to be your guide.
There are many ways to harness the renewable and emissions-free energy available from the Earth's oceans. The technologies include wave energy, tidal and current energy, and energy from thermal and salinity gradients. In addition, offshore wind energy and marine (floating) solar arrays offer a possibility to exploit vast resources that are far larger than those available onshore. The potential capacities range from many hundreds of gigawatts to terawatts of generation. These technologies could contribute a significant part of the global electricity demand; they are particularly suitable for providing sustainable power to marine regions and island communities and nations.
This book brings together contributions from international experts with academic and industry backgrounds to provide a systematic overview of ocean energy technologies, their readiness and modelling, as well as installation and grid connection technologies. The chapters have a unified structure to enable comparison.

Описание: Nella Larsen was an important writer associated with the Harlem Renaissance. While she was not prolific her work was powerful and critically acclaimed. Collected here are both of her novels, Passing and Quicksand. Quicksand, was autobiographical in nature and examined a woman's need for sexual fulfilment balanced against respectability and acceptance amid a deeply religious society. The novel is deeply pessimistic and ends as the protagonist is sucked into a life that is at odds with all that she beleives.
