Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a journey to Southern California, home of the American Dream, in search of fame and fortune. An Australian couple of mixed German-Chinese origin with their six-year old son Maximilian leave their settled life in Sydney to move to California. The boy's Mandarin name is Xiaolong, meaning Little Dragon, and the dream of his mother is that he will one day become the number one golf player in the world. She has contacted Tiger Woods' first professional coach who is supposed to take the boy under his wings, and she is determined to make her dream come true. The book follows Maximilian's exposure to playing junior gold, the highlights and pitfalls along with the emotional ups and downs of children involved in competitive sport, and their parents' sometimes conflicting and contradictory expectations, culminating in an account of Maximilian competing at the Junior World Championship in San Diego. But 'The Dragon Mother's Dream' is more than a book about golf. Part travelogue and part parenting memoir, it is a journal about living in one of the most privileged places in California. It documents the everyday realities and idiosyncracies of the contemporary American way of life, recorded with great precision and attention to detail by an Australian writer of European roots and - sometimes satirical, often ironic - sensibilities. At the end of the book, the mother's dream takes an unexpected twist.

Until now, a month after her mother was believed drowned in Wales, she has dreams like none she's ever had before. A recurrent nightmare of a ferocious red dragon makes her afraid ever to sleep again. Then the dragon beckons her, and at school, she sees the dragon emblem of Wales and recognizes her dream dragon. Her mother might not be dead! She tries to get her father to take them to Wales to find out. He is skeptical at first, but then he has the same dream! They are soon in Wales, meeting a mysterious old woman who claims to have seen her mother. She also claims to have sent Virginia the dreams! The trail is full of action and adventure! There's a white cliff and a black hole that seems impossible to escape. There's a terrifying bat-infested cave and a storm at sea, where it looks like they will share her mother's fate in the freezing ocean. Everything she knows about survival is put to the test! There are truly horrifying people, who want to include her in their macabre plans, plans that include her missing mother. Virginia believes that you've got to give all you've got when something really matters. It really matters to find her missing mother, and she puts everything she's got into all the incredible challenges that she faces in her quest to find her!

Book excerpt: Dreams seem the most private territory of experience. Yet Dreaming Culture argues they are a space in which we practice, consider, question, and adapt cultural models of the self, gender, sexuality, relationships, and agency. Through an innovative "dream ethnography" from college students in the northwestern U.S., this book contributes to recent research on dreaming and the brain in psychology and continuing research on dreaming and the self in clinical psychology and psychological anthropology. Dreaming Culture uses critical theory to understand power relations embedded in cultural models, a perspective often lacking in cognitive anthropology and in psychological studies of self and mind.

Book excerpt: The final chapter in the lives of Miriam and Xander leads them into the last darkness that dwells within their world. Their guide is an otherworldly crew long-thought lost to time and death, and their foe is one of the last of the gods, a creature that cloaks itself in mystery and enigma. They find their welcome a warm one, but beneath the calm is a storm as savage as the Eternal Storm in which they find themselves. Unbeknown to them a trap is being laid, a foe is revealed, and their friends are torn apart. Miriam is left alone to face their enemy, a terrible enemy of the mind that entraps her within her own doubts. There, Miriam must face her greatest challenge and her worst fear: living in a world without her beloved dragon lord.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese in the twentieth century, intent on modernizing their country, condemned their inherited culture in part on the grounds that it was oppressive to the young. The authors of this pioneering volume provide us with the evidence to re-examine those charges. Drawing on sources ranging from art to medical treatises, fiction, and funerary writings, they separate out the many complexities in the Chinese cultural construction of childhood and the ways it has changed over time. Listening to how Chinese talked about children--whether their own child, the abstract child in need of education or medical care, the ideal precocious child, or the fictional child--lets us assess in concrete terms the structures and values that underlay Chinese life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enemies to lovers and second chances seem almost beyond reach, but with the help of a meddling dragon, true love might just prevail over the evil that has shadowed Loralie all her life. A woman of mystery…and danger… The hereditary Guardian of the Citadel, Loralie, has a lot to answer for. She has done terrible things with her power on behalf of evil men who kidnapped her daughter. Loralie’s powerful magic is being used against her will, and the protections she’s been bred to uphold are failing, one by one. A man she once loved and thought lost forever… Detlif is Captain of the Guard of the fair folk enclave that guards one of the Gates to the Citadel. He gave up on love when Loralie left suddenly, without so much as a goodbye. When she showed up nine months later and gave him his infant son, then disappeared again, he imagined all sorts of cruel things about her. But there’s a lot he didn’t know about his former lover. A lot that stands between them, including a twin daughter that he has only just learned about. A meddling dragon… When the red dragon offers a chance to break the magical chains binding the girl, Loralie sends her precious daughter to be with her twin…and their father. With her daughter safe, Loralie can focus on revenge and stopping the evil plot that threatens all the lands. But she doesn’t count on Detlif having a say in her activities. Loralie believes only her death will make up for the misery she has caused. She’d thought she was reconciled to her fate, but seeing Det again makes her wish for more time. With him. With their children. Det knows Lora has done awful things, but as he begins to understand why, he tries to find a way to create a happy ending for her…for their children…and for himself, as well. It’s going to be tricky, and very, very dangerous, but he must not fail. He wants Loralie for keeps this time, and nothing will stop him from achieving that goal.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A candid and moving memoir of how one woman’s pregnancy forced her to confront her definition of how to live a successful life “Slyly ironic, frequently hilarious, [Martha] Beck’s memoir charts the journey from being smart to becoming wise.”—Time This edition includes a new afterword about Adam. From the moment Martha and her husband, John, accidentally conceived their second child, all hell broke loose. They were a couple obsessed with success. After years of matching IQs and test scores with less driven peers, they had two Harvard degrees apiece and were gunning for more. They’d plotted out a future in the most vaunted ivory tower of academe. But when their unborn son, Adam, was diagnosed with Down syndrome, doctors, advisers, and friends in the Harvard community warned them that if they decided to keep the baby, they would lose all hope of achieving their carefully crafted goals. Fortunately, that’s exactly what happened. By the time Adam was born, Martha and John were propelled into a world in which they were forced to redefine everything of value to them, put all their faith in miracles, and trust that they could fly without a net. And it worked. Expecting Adam captures the abject terror and exhilarating freedom of facing impending parenthood, being forced to question one’s deepest beliefs, and rewriting life’s rules.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the 1960s, Judy Fong Bates’s much-talked-about debut novel is the story of a young girl, the daughter of a small Ontario town’s solitary Chinese family, whose life is changed over the course of one summer when she learns the burden of secrets. Through Su-Jen’s eyes, the hard life behind the scenes at the Dragon Café unfolds. As Su-Jen’s father works continually for a better future, her mother, a beautiful but embittered woman, settles uneasily into their new life. Su-Jen feels the weight of her mother’s unhappiness as Su-Jen’s life takes her outside the restaurant and far from the customs of the traditional past. When Su-Jen’s half-brother arrives, smouldering under the responsibilities he must bear as the dutiful Chinese son, he forms an alliance with Su-Jen’s mother, one that will have devastating consequences. Written in spare, intimate prose, Midnight at the Dragon Café is a vivid portrait of a childhood divided by two cultures and touched by unfulfilled longings and unspoken secrets.
