"This book is a treasure trove for lovers of literary horror fiction."--Publishers Weekly Starred Review
From the award-winning writer of The Fisherman comes a new collection of stories. A pair of disgraced soldiers seek revenge on the man who taught them how to torture. A young lawyer learns the history of the secret that warped her parents' marriage. A writer arrives at a mansion overlooking the Hudson River to write about the strange paper balloons floating through its grounds. A couple walks a path that shows them their past, present, and terrible future. A woman and her husband discover a cooler on the side of the road whose contents are decidedly unearthly. A man driving cross country has a late-night encounter with a figure claiming to be the Devil. And in the short novel that gives the collection its title, a woman chases a monster in a race against time.

Описание: Named by Goodreads as One of the Most Anticipated Mysteries and Thrillers of 2021"A modern-day Crucible....Beneath the surface of a suburban utopia, madness lurks." --Liv Constantine, bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish"Good Neighbors is a wickedly funny, unnerving puzzle box of a novel. Sarah Langan has a delightfully twisted sensibility." --Dan Chaon, author of Ill WillCeleste Ng's enthralling dissection of suburbia meets Shirley Jackson's creeping dread in this propulsive literary noir, when a sudden tragedy exposes the depths of deception and damage in a Long Island suburb--pitting neighbor against neighbor and putting one family in terrible danger. Welcome to Maple Street, a picture-perfect slice of suburban Long Island, its residents bound by their children, their work, and their illusion of safety in a rapidly changing world. But menace skulks beneath the surface of this exclusive enclave, making its residents prone to outrage. When the Wilde family moves in, they trigger their neighbors' worst fears. Dad Arlo's a gruff has-been rock star with track marks. Mom Gertie's got a thick Brooklyn accent, with high heels and tube tops to match. Their weird kids cuss like sailors. They don't fit with the way Maple Street sees itself. Though Maple Street's Queen Bee, Rhea Schroeder--a lonely college professor repressing a dark past--welcomed Gertie and her family at first, relations went south during one spritzer-fueled summer evening, when the new best friends shared too much, too soon. By the time the story opens, the Wildes are outcasts. As tensions mount, a sinkhole opens in a nearby park, and Rhea's daughter Shelly falls inside. The search for Shelly brings a shocking accusation against the Wildes. Suddenly, it is one mom's word against the other's in a court of public opinion that can end only in blood. A riveting and ruthless portrayal of American suburbia, Good Neighbors excavates the perils and betrayals of motherhood and friendships and the dangerous clash between social hierarchy, childhood trauma, and fear.

Описание:
Saul has been selected as the first monarch of Israel, and it cannot have been a worse time for him. Surrounded by hostile nations and invaded by the vicious Philistines, all Saul wants is to secure the survival of his people--especially his firstborn son, Jonathan. But that seems to be getting increasingly difficult because Jonathan shares none of his father's fears or worries. And as Jonathan becomes increasingly bold in his attacks on the enemies of Israel, it becomes harder for Saul to deal with the stresses of being king.
With his family scattered after the Philistine invasion and with Jonathan preparing to mount a large-scale assault on Saul's home city at Gibeah, Saul struggles with a very real question:
Is he a political puppet? Or is he God's ordained king and warrior?

Описание: Digital Information Design (DID) is een framework voor business informatiemanagement (BIM). En net als de vele andere frameworks is het bedoeld om te helpen bij het beschrijven van vraagstukken en het testen van mogelijke oplossingen. DID is anders dan de andere frameworks en managementmodellen; het is onafhankelijk van ieder ander framework of model en het pretendeert niet om het totale ontwerp van business informatie services te omvatten. DID legt relaties met andere nuttige en wijdverbreide best practices die specifiek zijn ontwikkeld om toe te passen in specifieke fasen van de ontwikkeling van business informatie services. Zoals tijdens de idee-vorming, conceptontwikkeling, specificatie, ontwerp, test, oplevering, servicemanagement en operatie, of bij het ontwikkelen en beheren van architectuurvraagstukken of bij de implementatie van hardware en software. DID is in eerste instantie bedoeld om te sturen op de kwaliteit van informatie, en om te zorgen dat deze informatie effectief wordt ingezet. Het DID framework is ontwikkeld om te helpen tijdens het ontwerp van business informatie services om te bepalen wat je nodig hebt, en wanneer je het nodig hebt. DID kan ook worden gebruikt als een handleiding bij het bepalen welke delen van andere bestaande frameworks nuttig kunnen zijn. DID is volledig onafhankelijk van andere frameworks (zoals BiSL and BiSL Next, waarvan DID is afgeleid). Je bepaalt zelf wat je wel of niet toepast. DID helpt om die keuze te onderbouwen en om vast te stellen wat de sterke en zwakke punten zijn van je aanpak.Het DID framework is gebaseerd op de meest gangbare concepten om kernelementen van een ontwerpaanpak te beschrijven (behoefte en waarde, missie en vermogen), de belangrijkste perspectieven op business informatie (business, informatie/data, services en technologie) en de dominante domeinen (governance, strategie, verbetering en operatie). Effectief sturen op deze aspecten draagt bij aan goed functionerende organisaties.DID helpt om precies dat te onderscheiden wat je nodig hebt om te realiseren dat jouw ontwerp van business informatie beantwoordt aan de wensen in jouw organisatie. DID kan volledig onafhankelijk van andere frameworks worden toegepast en het kan in alle lagen van de organisatie worden ingezet.

Описание: SHIFTING BALANCE SHEETS: Women's Stories of Naturalized Citizenship & Cultural Attachment. A Wising Up Anthology. Editors: Heather Tosteson, Kerry Langan, Charles D. Brockett and Debra Gingerich. In this anthology, thirty-four women and girls from twenty countries, now living all across the U.S., reflect on their journeys to naturalized U.S. citizenship-journeys that invite all of us, native and foreign born, to consider what it means to choose to be an American. In Chinese Daughters: All-American Girls, American mothers whose Chinese daughters have become naturalized citizens through adoption, and these insightful teen-agers themselves, ponder how their experiences of cross-national adoption with a unique gender imperative influences their sense of personal, cultural, national and global identity. In Natural Women: Naturalized Citizens, women from Australia, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Cuba, England, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Taiwan and Zambia describe their unique journeys to naturalized citizenship as adults-wondering what womanhood, family, love, cultural identification, intellectual curiosity, professional ambition, material need, war, revolution or chance have to do with it. Their stories invite us all to think more generously and intentionally about the invitations and expectations inherent in citizenship-and our shared responsibility to shape, nurture, and celebrate the constantly changing We in We, the People.

Описание:
Kerry Langan's warm and generous third short story collection, My Name Is Your Name, includes stories of women at all ages--from little girls to old women whose long lives are now only fleeting memories. A six-year old girl wanders an amusement park alone; a teenager tries to balance the loyalty and shame she feels toward her schizophrenic sister; a young woman stubbornly makes a home for herself in an insular fishing village for reasons that elude her and those around her; a newlywed touring houses with her husband doesn't see an exciting future, rather unsettling glimpses of her own mortality. Finding unsuspected reservoirs of strength and purpose, girls and women negotiate young love, their first jobs, single motherhood, the death of friends, infidelity, the illness of spouses, memories of the Holocaust, and the indignities, anguishes, and gifts of age and aging in ways that are sharp, funny, poignant, and often quirky. Langan draws us into a world in which the very young blunder but also face truths that sometimes elude adults and the middle-aged and elderly turn to their younger selves to guide them in an ambiguous, challenging present. We come away encouraged and replenished--more ready to face many of the same issues ourselves.
"Once again, short story writer Kerry Langan knocks it out of the park. Her newest collection is a kaleidoscope of beautifully rendered stories illuminating, with tremendous verisimilitude, great insight, and lyrical and precise prose, the complex nature of the female heart and mind." Janice Eidus, author of The Last Jewish Virgin and The War of the Rosens
"Kerry Langan's collection offers a lovely new literary voice and a quiet, sharp, perceptive mind. These stories are intimate, surprising and graceful, a pleasure to read." Roxana Robinson, author of Sparta, Cost, and A Perfect Stranger & Other Stories
"Kerry Langan's My Name is Your Name, an impressive and readable collection, is a sort of primer on the ages of women. Her female protagonists take on issues and problems that are familiar to us, struggling with identity, finding autonomy, dealing with and fighting against expectations in a wonderfully detailed world, where desire and choice are fraught with consequence. This suspension between the ordinary and the arrival of the unexpected permeates the collection, highlighting the darkness behind the bright scrim of daily life." Mary Grimm, author of Left to Themselves and Stealing Time
