Описание:
The priceless ruby necklace secretly given to fifteen-year-old Ophelia Oatman by her dying mother isn't easily given away-nor is her virginity. But Ophelia must choose between them. The necklace becomes both Ophelia's ticket to freedom and the shackles of her shame. Fate, family legacy, hair color, the shape of her skull, sex, survival, the completion of the transcontinental railroad, and the tension between Mormons and Gentiles in the Utah Territory all converge to shape her destiny.
Ophelia's War chronicles the battles for love and survival fought by a young frontier girl in the nineteenth century: her limited choices between polygamy and prostitution, the high cost of keeping the jewels her mother gave her, and the impossibility of protecting them. In an era when many women committed suicide rather than be shunned and have to face the shame of being labeled "damaged goods," the rebellious and resilient Ophelia uses disgrace and the "rubies of her ruin" to reinvent herself and work her way towards financial freedom. Yet what is the ultimate cost? Can love and reconciliation triumph over her loss and shame?

Описание:
Fourteen-year-old Jason can't say no when Emma from school asks for his help to stop a logging company. But Jason's behaviour takes a turn for the worse after he receives some bad news, and he gets into a serious clash with the loggers. Curiously, the loggers don't react as expected.
Things get even stranger when weird computer glitches suggest the loggers are up to something. Using his computer smarts, Jason starts to investigate but it isn't long before he runs into technical difficulties.
Luckily that mightn't matter because Emma's father has discovered something that brings the logging to a halt. But when Jason gets computer help from a surprising source, he makes a shocking discovery of his own that makes him wonder whether he should stay on Emma's side or quit the fight altogether. Unfortunately, getting the evidence he needs will require more bad behaviour.
A "lot" more.

Описание: Alain Badiou’s work in philosophy, though daunting, has gained a receptive and steadily growing Anglophone readership. What is not well known is the extent to which Badiou’s positions, vis-a-vis ontology, ethics, politics and the very meaning of philosophy, were hammered out in dispute with the late Jean-Francois Lyotard. Matthew R. McLennan's Philosophy, Sophistry, Antiphilosophy is the first work to pose the question of the relation between Lyotard and Badiou, and in so doing constitutes a significant intervention in the field of contemporary European philosophy by revisiting one of its most influential and controversial forefathers. Badiou himself has underscored the importance of Lyotard for his own project; might the recent resurgence of interest in Lyotard be tied in some way to Badiou’s comments? Or deeper still: might not Badiou’s philosophical Platonism beg an encounter with philosophy’s other, the figure of the sophist that Lyotard played so often and so ably? Posing pertinent questions and opening new discursive channels in the literature on these two major figures this book is of interest to those studying philosophy, rhetoric, literary theory, cultural and media studies.
