Mark, che non prende mai niente sul serio."Mark Carter è, all'apparenza la persona più felice del mondo, sempre sorridente, con la battuta pronta, il bravo-ragazzo, l'amico di tutti, quello educato e razionale. Eppure tutti hanno un lato oscuro, segreti inconfessabili da custodire e paure da affrontare. Mark è il più bravo in assoluto a mascherare i suoi veri sentimenti, finché il dolore diventa troppo forte e il senso di inadeguatezza quasi schiacciante. Ma un incontro inaspettato farà vacillare definitivamente il suo, già precario, equilibrio: Dakota. Lei è pericolosa, sexy e ha tutta l'aria di una che se ne frega del mondo intero. Basterà uno sguardo, un paio di battute al vetriolo e la consapevolezza che niente sarà più come prima dopo averla incontrata per rimettere in discussione tutta la sua vita. Ma se Mark non riesce a vedere la luce in fondo al tunnel, Dakota è consapevole che, per lei, alla fine del tunnel c'è solo un muro spesso fatto di abusi e di dolore. Non può andare avanti e non può tornare indietro. Riuscirà Mark a salvare entrambi o rimarrà coinvolto in quel vortice autodistruttivo capace di trascinarsi dietro tutto, comprese le persone a lui più care?The Other Side - Quello Che Non Vedi - è lo spin-off di "Scegli Me" il romanzo d'esordio di Valentina Ferraro e il primo della trilogia Matching Scars.MATCHING SCARS SERIES:#1 - Scegli Me #1.5 - The Other Side - Quello Che Non Vedi #2 - Quanto Dura Per Sempre #2.5 - Solo Una Volta #3 -Fino alla Fine del Mondo #3.5 - Come un Uragano

Con "lei" ci deve andare con i piedi di piombo, e anche quello potrebbe non bastare.Perch� Jessica Sullivan non solo � la migliore amica di suo fratello da tutta una vita e la ex ragazza di uno dei componenti dei Matching Scars, ma anche la sua peggior nemica, la donna che tollera meno sulla faccia della Terra.E, allora, perch� diavolo sente ancora il suo odore ovunque e, ogni volta che chiude gli occhi, si ritrova a rivivere ancora e ancora quell'unica notte che ha cambiato tutto?Aver ceduto alla passione con Jessica � stato grave; lasciare che altri lo scoprano, sarebbe un suicidio.

Book excerpt: Non è facile essere una Carter in un mondo dove il tuo cognome è la definizione per eccellenza di perfezione e tutti si sentono in diritto di ricordarti di continuo che tuo padre e tuo zio sono state delle leggende locali. Eva odia trovarsi al centro dell'attenzione, odia che le ragazze a scuola cerchino la sua amicizia solo per poter arrivare ai suoi cugini, odia dover subire il terzo grado da suo padre e da tutto il clan dei Carter ogni volta che muove un passo. Soprattutto da quando Jonathan, nemico giurato dei giovani Carter dai tempi delle elementari, ha smesso di guardarla come se fosse solo la bambina che abita in fondo alla strada e ha iniziato a trattarla da donna. Ma se il ragazzo per il quale Eva ha una cotta da sempre è considerato dalla sua famiglia come un prepotente senza speranza, come riuscirà lei, una quindicenne inesperta, a coronare il suo sogno a luci rosa?Serie Matching Scars: Scegli Me #1 The Other Side #1.5 Quanto Dura Per Sempre #2 Solo Una Volta #2.5 Fine Alla Fine Del Mondo #3 Come Un Uragano #3.5

Book excerpt: "You're mine or you're his. I don't share." Caterina Zanetti has it all: a charmed life in the elegant, residential areas of Rome, a top of the range car, an aristocratic boyfriend and a glorious future as a pampered society housewife. Until her father persuades her to move to the USA and spend her second year of college at UCF in Orlando. In less than twenty-four hours, before she's even got over her jet lag, her whole life is turned upside down.Just one look at her handsome next-door neighbor is all it takes for her to question her perfect, programmed existence. "That's exactly the kind of guy you need to stay away from" her father warns as they get out of the taxi. Yes, because Benjamin Carter looks exactly like the kind of bad boy who makes smart girls do stupid things. Everyone thinks he has it all: women literally fall at his feet, he has the highest grades on his course and he's the singer in one of the most popular college rock bands in the city. Yet something is missing. Someone is missing. Someone who can help him realize that not everything in life is black or white, who'll stand up to him and force him to take off the mask he's been hiding behind all his life. And apparently, that someone has the yellow eyes of a wild cat and a sexy Italian accent that drives him crazy.Will he win the heart of the beautiful foreign student who is intent on keeping him at arm's length or, in the end, his wild, impetuous character will ruin it all? Matching Scars Series: → Choose Me can be read as a stand-alone. The second and the third novels of the Series must be read only after Choose Me. The series comprises of three main books (same couple) and three short stories (different characters).

Book excerpt: Neo-Hindutva explores the recent proliferation and evolution of Hindu nationalism – the assertive majoritarian, right-wing ideology that is transforming contemporary India. This volume develops and expands on the idea of ‘neo-Hindutva’ –– Hindu nationalist ideology which is evolving and shifting in new, surprising, and significant ways, requiring a reassessment and reframing of prevailing understandings. The contributors identify and explain the ways in which Hindu nationalism increasingly permeates into new spaces: organisational, territorial, conceptual, rhetorical. The scope of the chapters reflect the diversity of contemporary Hindutva – both in India and beyond – which appears simultaneously brazen but concealed, nebulous and mainstreamed, militant yet normalised. They cover a wide range of topics and places in which one can locate new forms of Hindu nationalism: courts of law, the Northeast, the diaspora, Adivasi (tribal) communities, a powerful yoga guru, and the Internet. The volume also includes an in-depth interview with Christophe Jaffrelot and a postscript by Deepa Reddy. Helping readers to make sense of contemporary Hindutva, Neo-Hindutva is ideal for scholars of India, Hinduism, Nationalism, and Asian Studies more generally. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary South Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fifteen-year-old boy decides to accompany his severely depressed high school French teacher on a road trip to the Canadian province of Quebec, where the mother tongue of Voltaire and Balzac is still spoken and cherished. Clarence Coo's mesmerizing new play is a delicious amalgam of farce and tragedy, a carnival funhouse with very dark corners. Wildly inventive and heartbreakingly sad, the strange odyssey of Jimmy and the unpredictable Mr. Green takes many surprising turns, crossing the border from reality into unreality and back again while encountering displaced characters from history, literature, and the mundane, often dangerous world. Selected by Tony Award-winning playwright John Guare ("House of Blue Leaves, Six Degrees of Separation, "and others) from over 1,000 submissions from 29 countries, Clarence Coo's "Beautiful Province "is the sixth winner of the DC Horn Foundation/Yale Drama Series Prize. In his foreword, Guare calls Coo's work "elusive and haunting . . . funny, desperate, insane," praising it for "its intriguing story [and] its tone, sustained to the very end." Lyrical and adventurous, "Beautiful Province "is an outstanding new theatrical work, well deserving of these accolades and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades fruit growers have sprayed their trees with toxic chemicals in an attempt to control a range of insect and fungal pests. Yet it is possible to grow apples responsibly, by applying the intuitive knowledge of our great-grandparents with the fruits of modern scientific research and innovation. Since The Apple Grower first appeared in 1998, orchardist Michael Phillips has continued his research with apples, which have been called "organic's final frontier." In this new edition of his widely acclaimed work, Phillips delves even deeper into the mysteries of growing good fruit with minimal inputs. Some of the cuttingedge topics he explores include: The use of kaolin clay as an effective strategy against curculio and borers, as well as its limitations Creating a diverse, healthy orchard ecosystem through understory management of plants, nutrients, and beneficial microorganisms How to make a small apple business viable by focusing on heritage and regional varieties, value-added products, and the "community orchard" model The author's personal voice and clear-eyed advice have already made The Apple Grower a classic among small-scale growers and home orchardists. In fact, anyone serious about succeeding with apples needs to have this updated edition on their bookshelf.

This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 120 years (1714-1837) Great Britain was linked to the German Electorate, later Kingdom, of Hanover through Personal Union. This made Britain a continental European state in many respects, and diluted her sense of insular apartness. The geopolitical focus of Britain was now as much on Germany, on the Elbe and the Weser as it was on the Channel or overseas. At the same time, the Hanoverian connection was a major and highly controversial factor in British high politics and popular political debate. This volume was the first systematically to explore the subject by a team of experts drawn from the UK, US and Germany. They integrate the burgeoning specialist literature on aspects of the Personal Union into the broader history of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. Never before had the impact of the Hanoverian connection on British politics, monarchy and the public sphere, been so thoroughly investigated.

Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom says that integration into the global marketplace tends to weaken the power of traditional faith in developing countries. But, as Meera Nanda argues in this path-breaking book, this is hardly the case in today’s India. Against expectations of growing secularism, India has instead seen a remarkable intertwining of Hinduism and neoliberal ideology, spurred on by a growing capitalist class. It is this “State-Temple-Corporate Complex,” she claims, that now wields decisive political and economic power, and provides ideological cover for the dismantling of the Nehru-era state-dominated economy. According to this new logic, India’s rapid economic growth is attributable to a special “Hindu mind,” and it is what separates the nation’s Hindu population from Muslims and others deemed to be “anti-modern.” As a result, Hindu institutions are replacing public ones, and the Hindu “revival” itself has become big business, a major source of capital accumulation. Nanda explores the roots of this development and its possible future, as well as the struggle for secularism and socialism in the world’s second-most populous country.
