Описание:
At long last, the legendary New York Times bestselling author returns with a heartfelt novel of womanhood, a wild heart, and the healing power of love.
Run, run, as fast as you can
When life throws her one setback too many, midwife and young widow Tess Hartsong takes off for Runaway Mountain. In this small town high in the Tennessee mountains, surrounded by nature, she hopes to outrun her heartbreak and find the solace she needs to heal.
But instead of peace and quiet, she encounters an enigmatic artist with a craving for solitude, a fairy-tale sprite with too many secrets, a helpless infant, a passel of curious teens, and a town suspicious of outsiders, especially one as headstrong as Tess. Just as headstrong is Ian North, a difficult, gifted man with a tortured soul--a man who makes Tess question everything.
In running away to this new life, Tess wonders-- Has she lost herself . . . or has she found her future?

Наличие на складе: Есть (1 шт.) Описание: What would Little Women be without the charms of the March family's cozy New England home? Or WutheringHeights without the ghost-infested Wuthering Heights? Getting lost in the setting of a good book can be half the pleasure of reading, and Decorating a Room of One'sOwn brings literary backdrops to the foreground in this wryly affectionate satire of interior design reporting. English professor and humorist Susan Harlan spoofs decorating culture by reimagining its subject as famous fictional homes and "interviews" the residents who reveal their true tastes: Lady Macbeth's favorite room in the castle, or the design inspiration behind Jay Gatsby's McMansion of unfulfilled dreams. Featuring 30 entries of notable dwellings, sidebars such as "Setting Up an Ideal Governess's Room," and four-color spot illustrations throughout, Decorating a Room of One's Own is the ideal book for readers who appreciate fine literature and a good end table.

"Next to Tracy and Hepburn, nobody does romantic comedy better than Susan Elizabeth Phillips." --Minneapolis Star Tribune
Perennial New York Times bestseller Susan Elizabeth Phillips now provides her fans with The Great Escape from ordinary women's romantic fiction. One of today's most beloved writers, the incomparable Phillips follows up her utterly beguiling hit, Call Me Irresistible ("Phillips at her very best. Romantic, funny, sexy, and poignant" --Kristin Hannah) with a sequel that's equally impossible to resist. Returning in The Great Escape are some of Phillips's most adored characters, including headstrong, impetuous ex-president's daughter, Lucy Jorik, who's just abandoned her fiancE, Ted "Mr. Irresistible" Beaudine, at the altar. Now she's looking for adventure--and perhaps a little romance--embarking on a wild and hilariously unpredictable road trip that begins on the back of a rather menacing-looking stranger's motorcycle. The winner of more Favorite Book of the Year Awards than any other romance author, including Nora Roberts, Susan Elizabeth Phillips offers her fans an Escape to remember, and they'll certainly want to come back for more
Описание: Apart from collective memories of lived experiences, much of the modern world’s historical sense comes from written sources stored in the archives of the world, and some scholars in the not-so-distant past have described unlettered civilizations as “peoples without history.” In Praise of the Ancestors is a revisionist interpretation of early colonial accounts that reveal incongruities in accepted knowledge about three Native groups.
Susan Elizabeth Ramírez reevaluates three case studies of oral traditions using positional inheritance—a system in which names and titles are inherited from one generation by another and thereby contribute to the formation of collective memories and a group identity. Ramírez begins by examining positional inheritance and perpetual kinship among the Kazembes in central Africa from the eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Next, her analysis moves to the Native groups of the Iroquois Confederation and their practice of using names to memorialize remarkable leaders in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Finally, Ramírez surveys naming practices of the Andeans, based on sixteenth-century manuscript sources and later testimonies found in Spanish and Andean archives, questioning colonial narratives by documenting the use of this alternative system of memory perpetuation, which was initially unrecognized by the Spaniards.
In the process of reexamining the histories of Native peoples on three continents, Ramírez broaches a wider issue: namely, understanding of the nature of knowledge as fundamental to understanding and evaluating the knowledge itself.

Thanks to her experience as a mom and as a Doula, Elizabeth Ramirez can say that childbirth is not necessarily a painful experience.
So, why do many women live childbirth as such a traumatic event?
The answer is simple: we are conditioned by what we see in movies and TV series, and our society teaches women that childbirth will be painful and upsetting.
For this reason, a woman arrives at the moment of delivery already scared, and this causes a series of entirely natural physical reactions, such as: tightening of the muscles, reduced blood flow to the birthing muscles, and the release of certain hormones.
But with the right confidence and preparation, you can come at the childbirth with mindfulness and calm, and live this experience as the most powerful and incredible of your life.

Elizabeth Ramirez will share with you the secrets to having a safe, natural, and positive birth, using a powerful combination of mindfulness, hypnosis, and relaxation techniques.
She helps women become empowered by developing an awareness of the instinctive birthing capability of their bodies.
