Описание: Darius doesn't think he'll ever be enough, in America or in Iran. Hilarious and heartbreaking, this unforgettable debut introduces a brilliant new voice in contemporary YA. "Heartfelt, tender, and so utterly real. I'd live in this book forever if I could." --Becky Albertalli, award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He's a Fractional Persian--half, his mom's side--and his first-ever trip to Iran is about to change his life. Darius has never really fit in at home, and he's sure things are going to be the same in Iran. His clinical depression doesn't exactly help matters, and trying to explain his medication to his grandparents only makes things harder. Then Darius meets Sohrab, the boy next door, and everything changes. Soon, they're spending their days together, playing soccer, eating faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the city's skyline. Sohrab calls him Darioush--the original Persian version of his name--and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he's Darioush to Sohrab. Adib Khorram's brilliant debut is for anyone who's ever felt not good enough--then met a friend who makes them feel so much better than okay.

Описание:
While most patrons strive to be strip club veterans, there are a chosen few who see beyond the bells and whistles and focus mainly on intrinsic value and getting the most Bang for their Buck. Those strategic and resourceful patrons are the economists of the jungle. And they have a Ph.D. in Strip Club Economics.
Written in the spirit of 18th-century political economist and philosopher, Adam Smith, who is dubbed the "Father of Modern Economics," Darius Allen aims to present the first comprehensive text on a field of study that is alive and bubbling, and extremely relevant in mainstream society.
Whether you acknowledge it or not, there is an ever-growing strip club culture. All you have to do is utter these three words, "Make It Rain," and watch the hands around you start flicking away. And although the strip club industry is evolving and expanding into new territories, the economy is still going strong like the relationship between a Regular (patron) and a Favorite (stripper). But as a discipline, it is undisclosed, unaccredited and shunned in the halls of academia--until now.
This one-of-a-kind book will intertwine the theories learned in the school of economics and the stripes earned in the jungles of the strip club industry--giving a new twist (and twerk) to the term 'Freakonomics'.
The 21 Laws of Strip Club Economics re-introduces and examines such economic theories and concepts, including:
Micro (G-string) economics
The Strip Club Game (Theory)
Stripper Equity
Trickle-Down Economics
The Rapper Theory
Urban Strip Club Economics
The Classical Theory
The Invisible Hand
Underground Economy and so much more...

Описание:
If we believe that the small, open economies of Nordic Europe are paragons of good governance, why are they so prone to economic crisis? In Good Governance Gone Bad, Darius Ornston provides evidence that adapting flexibly to rapid, technological change and shifting patterns of economic competition may be a great virtue, but it does not prevent countries from making strikingly poor policy choices and suffering devastating results. Home to three of the "big five" financial crises in the twentieth century, Nordic Europe in the new millennium has witnessed a housing bubble in Denmark, the collapse of the Finnish ICT industry, and the Icelandic financial crisis.
Ornston argues that the reason for these two seemingly contradictory phenomena is one and the same. The dense, cohesive relationships that enable these countries to respond to crisis with radical reform render them vulnerable to policy overshooting and overinvestment. Good Governance Gone Bad tests this argument by examining the rise and decline of heavy industry in postwar Sweden, the emergence and disruption of the Finnish ICT industry, and Iceland’s impressive but short-lived reign as a financial powerhouse as well as ten similar and contrasting cases across Europe and North America. Ornston demonstrates how small and large states alike can learn from the Nordic experience, providing a valuable corrective to uncritical praise for the "Nordic model."

Описание:
"Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap; it is made difficult because freedom is the accomplishment and perfectness of man."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
This book is for people who also believe personal freedom is the most important thing in life.
In our free world, we can do what we want, spend time with people we like, and have a career that gives us joy. And yet, we don't use our freedom. Why is that?
The problem is that we're held captive by ourselves. On a deeper level, we all strive for the same thing: To be free. It's in our nature.
Every human has the desire and the need to be free. What It Takes To Be Free will lead you on the path to personal freedom. It's a highly practical guide that's based on timeless wisdom and personal experience.
You're the ruler of your own kingdom. You can do anything you want, spend time with people you enjoy, and have a career that you love. If you're willing to do what it takes, you will be free to do those things.

Описание: Your path to personal freedom and inner peace
Do you feel captive in your daily life? Like you can't use the freedom you have?
If so, you're not alone. I've felt like that for most of my life. And I want to show you that you can have REAL personal freedom.
You can do any (legal) thing you want, spend time with people you like, and do work you LOVE-not something your parents told you to do or just because you need money.
Think about it. How do you want to live your life? Picture it in your mind... You can make that a REALITY.
And in What It Takes To Be Free, I will show you how to become so free that you can become the author of your own life. Learn how to:
Develop the self-esteem you need to be free
Design a life that gives you inner satisfaction
Uncover your values so you can finally figure out what you want out of life
Gain control over your finances, so you don't have to worry about money
I wrote this book because I know what it feels like to live without personal freedom. But now that I've found freedom, I want the same for you.
If you've felt captive, it's not because of your own doing. It's because you simply lacked the proper framework to achieve freedom.
What It Takes To Be Free is a highly practical guide that gives you the EXACT road map you need to gain personal freedom and inner satisfaction.
