Описание: A poignant and witty graphic novel by a leading New Yorker cartoonist, following a millennials journey from performing his life to truly connecting with people
Nick, a young illustrator, can't shake the feeling that there is some hidden realm of human interaction beyond his reach. He haunts lookalike fussy, silly, coffee shops, listens to old Joni Mitchell albums too loudly, and stares at his navel in the hope that he will find it in there. But it isn't until he learns to speak from the heart that he begins to find authentic human connections and is let into the worlds of the people he meets.
Nick's journey occurs alongside the beginnings of a relationship with Wren, a wry, spirited oncologist at a nearby hospital, whose work and life becomes painfully tangled with Nick's.
Illustrated in both color and black-and-white in McPhail's instantly recognizable style, In elevates the graphic novel genre; it captures his trademark humor and compassion with a semi-autobiographical tale that is equal parts hilarious and heart-wrenchinguncannily appropriate for our isolated times.

Описание: The horror of the Western Front trenches is a well-worn theme but what was life like on 'the other side of the Western front' in the First World War? This account, based on original sources including diaries, memoirs, family records, secret diaries written during the war, vivid memories and official records, show how the rich agricultural and industrial areas of northern France were invaded, occupied and exploited between the summer of 1914 and the Armistice in November 1918. Factories were stripped, household furniture and fittings requisitioned, food supplies taken, the population maltreated and malnourished and even taken to forced labour camps; the population lived in terror. Starvation loomed and contact with the outside world vanished until Herbert Hoover set up his scheme of aid which kept the population alive during the war. This fascinating account describes how - in the struggle to survive - French civilians responded in ways familiar in the Second World War: escape networks, espionage, clandestine news-sheets, help for British soldiers trapped behind enemy lines.

Описание: Bruce Meyer`s forte is to delve into the interconnectedness of our relationship with the physical and the spiritual. He is a poet channelling the music and suffering of the human experience and, beyond that, the spiral of cultivation and destruction that sustains and endangers humankind. His poems are daring and artistically defying, composed with gravitas, powerful mindfulness, and reverence.

Описание: Magazine articles and self-improvement books tell us that our food choices serve as bold statements about who we are as individuals. Acquired Tastes reveals that they say more about where we come from and who we would like to be. Interviews with Canadian families in both rural and urban settings reveal that age, gender, social class, ethnicity, health concerns, food availability, and political and moral concerns shape the meanings that families attach to food. They also influence how parents and teens respond to discourses on health, beauty, and the environment, a finding with profound implications for public health campaigns.

Описание: "Chilly? I'd figured you'd be used to it by now, Veronica," said a voice that was, as clich as this sounds, much colder than I felt. I turned and saw a man towering over me. He had short charcoal hair that was dusted with gray. His skin was olive colored, and his eyes bloodshot. Whoever this was must have really loved black because that's the only color he wore from an inky cloak to scuffed, dark boots. His teeth had a yellowish tint to them that made his already malevolent, twisted smile even more disturbing. Once he saw my face, it faded slightly. "You're definitely not Veronica, are you? You appear shorter, but you certainly look like your predecessor. Excuse me for forgetting people and things change over four hundred years. They say the memory is the first thing to go. Anyway, I was hoping I would get back in time to finish her off, but I guess you will have to do, won't you Lealight?" I stood shivering-- not from the cold that was still seeping into my veins, but from the total mortification of standing face to face with Hyvecuous. I was quite sure he didn't come to meet my acquaintance. The above is an excerpt from this epic fantasy novel. It is the first of series by author Sidney McPhail about a team of teenagers living in another dimension and time. Their charge is the protection of their Village using special "talents" and magic. Will they defeat Hyvecuous (a dark force in the Universe) before he destroys their way of life? Read this exciting story to find out

Описание: As the sleek ship sails further from San Francisco, the stock market begins to falter. Amidst frantic celebrations, sexy flappers and good times that are expected to last forever, the warnings are ignored. While more than three hundred millionaires sail from San Francisco on a luxurious two-month cruise, they are unaware that their comfortable lives are about to change. The Roaring Twenties forms the backdrop and the newest luxury liner, the SS Malolo, provides the stage in an elegant mystery where every reader knows the conclusion. Some thirty days later -- on October 29, 1929 -- it will be over in the biggest market crash in history. But it is the story that is unique. "The Millionaires Cruise" is a page-turner, filled with unscrupulous bankers, arrogant financiers, and spoiled young heirs who prefer dancing and drugs to reality. It's a world where greed and privilege are locked in conflict with ethics and integrity -- the fundamental battle between capitalism and democracy. It's also an adventure story, with ruggedly handsome South African Duff Malone working his way up in the world's largest travel company, before his challenging assignment, guiding these frustrated millionaires through turbulence and chaos. And it's a love story, with auburn-haired ship's nurse Christy Miller carrying her own secrets, while being drawn to Malone but seriously distracted by the Malolo's demanding captain, Erik Christian. "The Millionaires Cruise" is a history of the travel industry, beginning with well appointed steamships carrying wealthy travelers from Johannesburg to Cairo, and luxury trains speeding across America, leading to the earliest days of air travel and the "Flying Clippers". Through compelling characters, we are drawn to serious questions of investments, prohibition and the shaving of rules; challenged to distinguish between the materialistic forces of capitalism in constant conflict with democracy and idealism -- providing eerie parallels with modern-day investment and financial cultures.
