1 online resource (320 pages), \"Outgoing? Gorgeous? Enjoy P/T evening work? Good fun! Good pay! THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!\" The ad in the Toronto paper sounds just about perfect for Katrina. Except for the \"outgoing\" part. Desperate to escape a creepy roommate and a scary landlord, she must find some way to supplement her meager café salary to flee to a new apartment. Eye-popping beautiful but woefully shy, when Katrina is hired as a professional guest (aka PEST) for a company called Life of the Party, her nerves get the best of her. Before she can make a total fool of herself and lose her new job, she's saved by a dashing and mysterious stranger who vanishes into the night. With the help of her newfound friend and fellow PEST Cathy, Katrina tries desperately to find her mystery man. Her search, and her life, gets disrupted by the nefarious affairs of her roommates, landlord, and new boss. Along the way, Katrina learns that she may be shy - but she's certainly no wallflower, Print version record, COVER -- TITLE -- COPYRIGHT -- 1 HARLEYS, HARLEYS EVERYWHERE -- 2 THE ROBIN HOODS -- 3 ROOMIES -- 4 SPECIAL K -- 5 HASHISH -- 6 LENS HANDIWORK -- 7 DEAR OLD SPOT -- 8 IS HE OR ISNT SHE? -- 9 LIFE OF THE PARTY -- 10 A PILE OF CLOTHES -- 11 SWINDLE -- 12 SHAKEDOWN -- 13 WORK OR PLEASURE? -- 14 A DOUBLE-HEADER -- 15 PRINCE CHARMING -- 16 TURNING INTO PUMPKINS -- 17 ASLEEP BESIDE ANOTHER WOMAN -- 18 GORGEOUS CREATURES -- 19 TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE -- 20 A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK -- 21 BIG BLONDES AND MOVIE STAR MEN -- 22 HER NAME WAS CATHY -- 23 PIZZA PIZZA -- 24 YOU SURE THIS IS A GOOD IDEA? -- 25 SPEEDOS, SPEEDOS EVERYWHERE -- 26 WAITING IN THE BUSHES -- 27 A PHANTOM -- 28 SNOTTY BEHAVIOUR -- 29 A PINK-FLOWERED FLIP-FLOP -- 30 BURN THAT BIKINI -- 31 DRY HEAVES -- 32 LITTLE BLACK BOOK -- 33 BORIS ON TOP -- 34 TWO JOHNS BUT NO JONATHAN -- 35 TRUST-FUND BABY -- 36 PEST VS.

A sizzling novel of passion, peril, and searing sensuality from “a master among master storytellers” ( Affaire de Coeur )—a magical weaver of spellbinding tales, enticing characters, and unforgettable romance. The darkly handsome warrior found her in the hot desert night, the last survivor of a caravan devastated by a brutal attack. But Thea could hardly have found a less likely savior. Brooding and powerful, the infamous Lord Ware felt no need to rescue a total stranger, but Thea’s striking beauty and fighting spirit moved him. So the knight in tarnished armor carried her away to his secret stronghold at Dundragon, where she would become his prisoner, his tormentor, his lover . . . and the one weapon his deadly enemy could use to destroy him.

Indentured to a silk merchant, Thea of Dimas steals a basket of wriggling worms and sets out for Damascus to start her own embroidery-design studio and then effect the escape of her little sister, Selene. After her caravan is destroyed, Thea is rescued by blustery knight Lord Ware and carried (pressed up against his hard, unyielding armor) to his desert fortress, Dundragon. Ware, hunted by the Knights Templar because he's discovered the secret of their Lion Throne, must protect Thea from the deadly consequences to anyone who gets close to him. Thea, an ambitious career woman, must stop Ware from running roughshod over her big plans. Together the feisty lovers battle crusaders, Muslims and their own misguided agendas before settling down in the Scottish Highlands to breed lusty little bairn

"My subject is philology as the ground of literary and cultural studies. Philology, not philosophy, because philology’s horizon is not a history of ideas but an institutional and programmatic history. And not philology as Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff presented it to Friedrich Nietzsche, or as post-Nietzscheans expelled it from humane studies. I’m thinking about Philology in a New Key—a new arrangement of that canonical discipline so neglected after the nineteenth century. Those huddled, dry-as-dust scholars are yearning to be free. I do this because digital technology is bringing significant practical and institutional change to humanities education and scholarship. Once lamentably glacial, the change has begun to pick up speed, fueled by various enthusiasms and interests both within and outside the academy. The drive that began in 2010 to establish the the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is symptomatic. The library, research as well as local-public, is the storm center of these changes because the library is the home base of general education for the citizen as well as the research and teaching humanist, as the laboratory is the home base of the physical scientist."

A sizzling novel of passion, peril, and searing sensuality from “a master among master storytellers” ( Affaire de Coeur )—a magical weaver of spellbinding tales, enticing characters, and unforgettable romance. The darkly handsome warrior found her in the hot desert night, the last survivor of a caravan devastated by a brutal attack. But Thea could hardly have found a less likely savior. Brooding and powerful, the infamous Lord Ware felt no need to rescue a total stranger, but Thea’s striking beauty and fighting spirit moved him. So the knight in tarnished armor carried her away to his secret stronghold at Dundragon, where she would become his prisoner, his tormentor, his lover . . . and the one weapon his deadly enemy could use to destroy him.

Desperate to escape a creepy roommate and a scary landlord, she must find some way to supplement her meager café salary to flee to a new apartment. Eye-popping beautiful but woefully shy, when Katrina is hired as a professional guest (aka PEST) for a company called Life of the Party, her nerves get the best of her. Before she can make a total fool of herself and lose her new job, she's saved by a dashing and mysterious stranger who vanishes into the night. With the help of her newfound friend and fellow PEST Cathy, Katrina tries desperately to find her mystery man. Her search, and her life, gets disrupted by the nefarious affairs of her roommates, landlord, and new boss. Along the way, Katrina learns that she may be shy - but she's certainly no wallflower.

**De AS (Anarcho-Socialist)** (ook wel **De As**) was een Nederlands anarchistisch kwartaalblad dat van 1972 tot en met 2020. Het eerste nummer verscheen december 1972. De AS verscheen in de vorm van themanummers en eenmaal per jaar in de vorm van een Jaarboek Anarchisme. Soms vielen deze twee samen en soms verschijnen er ook dubbelnummers. Editie 208 (winter 2020) was de laatste uitgave van het blad. De doelstelling van het blad was om een anarchistische visie te ontwikkelen met betrekking tot de maatschappelijke omgeving (van politiek en religie tot kunst) dan wel daarop een kritiek te leveren vanuit het anarchisme. Het anarchisme wordt hierbij in een pluriforme, anti-dogmatische zin opgevat. ([Wikipedia](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_AS))

Product Description The world has been devastated by an epidemic. Although there are pockets of an attempted continuation of civilisation, the truth is that the world has gone to hell in a handcart. The reason for this is a disease that has wiped out most of the world's population. It kills almost all those who are not of the blood group 'O neg'. Those people who survive are untouched. Everyone else dies. Infrastructures have collapsed. Mobs run rampant. The only kind of law that exists is that imposed by the people with the biggest guns. In this devastated and chaotic world who can bring hope and order? The Blight arose from nowhere. It swept across the bickering nations like the End of Times. As the numbers thinned and societies crumbled, the survivors picked their way between silent streets and looked out on the squalid new order. Hotheaded religion and territorial savagery rule the cities now. Somewhere, amidst the chaos, a damaged man receives a signal, and with it the tiniest flicker of hope. This is the chance to rediscover the humanity he lost, long ago, in the blood and filth and horror of the Cull. He mustcross the Atlantic, defeat warrior gangs in New York and seek out the location of his missing love. About the Author Simon Spurrier is an award-winning writer of novels and graphic novel fiction.

Winner of the 2012 Melville J. Herskovits award (African Studies Association) Throughout southwestern Nigeria, Yoruba men and women create objects called aale to protect their properties―farms, gardens, market goods, firewood―from the ravages of thieves. Aale are objects of such unassuming appearance that a non-Yoruba viewer might not register their important presence in the Yoruba visual landscape: a dried seedpod tied with palm fronds to the trunk of a fruit tree, a burnt corncob suspended on a wire, an old shoe tied with a rag to a worn-out broom and broken comb, a ripe red pepper pierced with a single broom straw and set atop a pile of eggs. Consequently, aale have rarely been discussed in print, and then only as peripheral elements in studies devoted to other issues. Yet aale are in no way peripheral to Yoruba culture or aesthetics. In Vigilant Things , David T. Doris argues that aale are keys to understanding how images function in Yoruba social and cultural life. The humble, often degraded objects that comprise aale reveal as eloquently as any canonical artwork the channels of power that underlie the surfaces of the visible. Aale are warnings, intended to trigger the work of conscience. Aale objects symbolically threaten suffering as the consequence of transgression―the suffering of disease, loss, barrenness, paralysis, accident, madness, fruitless labor, or death―and as such are often the useless residues of things that were once positively valued: empty snail shells, shards of pottery, fragments of rusted iron, and the like. If these objects share “suffering” and “uselessness” as constitutive elements, it is because they already have been made to suffer and become useless. Aale offer would-be thieves an opportunity to recognize themselves in advance of their actions and to avoid the thievery that would make the "useless" people. ** Africa African Graffiti & Street Art History West Art Contents 8 Map 1: Yorubaland 12 Map 2: Detail of Map 1 13 Acknowledgments 14 A Note on Orthography 19 A Note on Language and Translation 20 A Note on Photography 21 Introduction 24 Part I: Creating Ààlè 56 Presence, Power, and the Past 58 Palm Fronds (Màrìwò) 107 Part II: Call-and-Response 142 What We Look at and Remember 144 Color (Àw˚) 208 Part III: Portraits and Punishments 236 An Ontology of the Broken 238 Corncobs (Ṣùkù Àgbàdo) 301 Snail Shells (Ìkarawun Ìgbín) 324 Brooms (Ìgbále) 345 Coda 364 Glossary 410 Works Consulted 415 Index 427

MEDICINA E POTERE 7 Collana fondata da Giulio A. Maccacaro Mahmood Mamdani Il mito del controllo demografico Con una prefazione di Giulio Maccacaro, Siamo troppi? Milano: Feltrinelli, 1974 Titolo originale: The Myth of Population Control. Family, Caste, and Class in anIndian Village Monthly Review Press Copyright © 1972 by Mahmood Mamdani Translation from English by Enzo Turbiani ITA [scroll down for English] È ipotesi di lavoro di questa collana che la medicina - come la scienza - sia un modo del potere: che, anzi, nella conversione e gestione scientifica di dottrine e pratiche, contenuti e messaggi, enti e funzioni, ruoli e istituti, divenga propriamente potere, sostanza e forma del suo esercizio. Ma un’ipotesi già formulata ha bisogno di nuove verifiche, ulteriori ricerche, più ampie ricognizioni che attraversino tutte le mappe della cittadella sanitaria. Il potere che le appartiene, cosi come quello cui appartiene, può celarsi in ogni suo punto ma estinguersi in nessuno: cercarlo e scoprirlo è già sfidarlo. Il 1974 è stato dichiarato “anno della popolazione” dalle Nazioni Unite quale opportuno invito a dibattiti e tempestiva promozione di studi sull’incremento demografico nelle sue dimensioni mondiali, continentali e nazionali. Ma il problema della popolazione non è soltanto demografico ed economico: prima e soprattutto è un problema sociale e politico. Per questo, proporre o addirittura imporre, con gli argomenti della scienza e le tecniche della medicina, pratiche anticoncezionali, abortive o sterilizzanti a chi è numeroso soltanto perché è povero - senza soccorrerne la povertà, anzi aggravandone la dipendenza - costituisce un altro esempio di come la medicina e la scienza possano essere modi del potere. Questo libro - di un demografo indiano che ha studiato in America - ne dà limpida dimostrazione attraverso l’analisi di un esperimento di controllo demografico - lo Studio Khanna - compiuto nel Punjab (India) e concepito a Harvard (USA). Forse nessun altro esperimento dello stesso tipo è stato cosi attentamente programmato, diligentemente eseguito e manifestamente fallito. Conoscerne la storia, dalle premesse alle conclusioni, è indispensabile per intendere correttamente i termini del dibattito attuale e venturo sulla realtà del problema della popolazione e sul mito del controllo demografico. Mahmood Mamdani è nato nel 1946 a Bombay, ma è cresciuto in Tanzania e in Uganda. Nel 1963 si è recato negli USA, con una borsa di studio avuta dall’Istituto Afro-americano. Ha frequentato l’Università di Pittsburgh, la Scuola Fletcher di Scienze Giuridiche e Diplomatiche e l’Università di Harvard, dove si è laureato in filosofia. Attualmente si occupa dello sviluppo economico. ENG It is the working hypothesis of this series that medicine - like science - is a mode of power: that, indeed, in the conversion and scientific management of doctrines and practices, contents and messages, bodies and functions, roles and institutions, it properly becomes power, substance and form of its exercise. But an already formulated hypothesis needs new verifications, further research, more extensive reconnaissance that will cross all the maps of the health citadel. The power that belongs to it, as well as the power to which it belongs, can be hidden in every point but extinguished in none: to seek it out and discover it is already to challenge it. Original title: The Myth of Population Control. Family, Caste, and Class in anIndian Village Monthly Review Press Copyright © 1972 by Mahmood Mamdani Translation from English by Enzo Turbiani 1974 was declared 'Year of Population' by the United Nations as an appropriate invitation to debates and the timely promotion of studies on population growth in its global, continental and national dimensions. But the population problem is not only demographic and economic: first and foremost, it is a social and political problem. For this reason proposing or even imposing, with the arguments of science and the techniques of medicine, contraceptive, abortive or sterilising practices on those who are numerous only because they are poor - without helping their poverty, on the contrary worsening their dependence - is another example of how medicine and science can be modes of power. This book - by an Indian demographer who studied in America - clearly demonstrates this through the analysis of an experiment in population control - the Khanna Study - carried out in Punjab (India) and conceived at Harvard (USA). Perhaps no other experiment of its kind has been so carefully planned, diligently executed and demonstrably failed. Knowing its history, from the premises to the conclusions, is indispensable to correctly understand the terms of the current and forthcoming debate on the reality of the population problem and the myth of population control. Mahmood Mamdani was born in Bombay in 1946, but grew up in Tanzania and Uganda. In 1963, he went to the USA on a scholarship from the African-American Institute. He attended the University of Pittsburgh, the Fletcher School of Legal and Diplomatic Sciences and Harvard University, where he graduated in philosophy. He currently works in economic development.

1 online resource A Child of the Sea is the true story of Jimmy Cornell's daughter sailing around the world on the family's small yacht from the age of 7 to 14, based on Doina's diaries, letters and memories. From 1975 to 1981 the Cornell family visited 54 countries, sailed more than 68,000 miles, and travelled about the same distance overland. The story is told from Doina's point of view, although the main part of the book focuses on the family's three-year stay in the Pacific when she is aged between 10 and 13.

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Tom Piccirilli's The Last Kind Words. Two years ago Shad Jenkins went to prison for assaulting his sister’s attacker. Now he has returned to the southern mountain town of Moon Run Hollow, only to find that Megan is dead. No one knows how she died–or why she was found on Gospel Trail Road, a dirt path leading up to the gorge high above the Chatalaha River, where victims of yellow fever were once brought to die. Navigating a world filled with abnormal children and clandestine snake handlers, one that is slowly being poisoned by illegal moonshine, Shad must pierce the townsfolk’s superstitions and terrible secrets to find out the truth about his sister’s death. But the Blood Dreams he’s suffered from since childhood have taken on an eerie urgency, revealing to Shad the nightmarish form of an unseen adversary. Plagued by the wraiths that haunt the hollow, Shad finds himself increasingly unsure of his own sanity as he begins to piece together what may have happened to his sister–and who exactly his enemy is....

SUMMARY: Enter a world where bloody battles, and heroic deeds combine in the historic struggle to unite Britain in the face of a common enemy.The third instalment in Bernard Cornwell's King Alfred series, follows on from the outstanding previous novels The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman.The year is 878 and Wessex is free from the Vikings.Uhtred, the dispossessed son of a Northumbrian lord, helped Alfred win that victory, but now he is disgusted by Alfred's lack of generosity and repelled by the king's insistent piety. He flees Wessex, going back north to seek revenge for the killing of his foster father and to rescue his stepsister, captured in the same raid. He needs to find his old enemy, Kjartan, a renegade Danish lord who lurks in the formidable stronghold of Dunholm.Uhtred arrives in the north to discover rebellion, chaos and fear. His only ally is Hild, a West Saxon nun fleeing her calling, and his best hope is his sword, with which he has made a formidable reputation as a warrior. He will need the assistance of other warriors if he is to attack Dunholm and he finds Guthred, a slave who believes he is a king. He takes him across the Pennines to where a desperate alliance of fanatical Christians and beleaguered Danes form a new army to confront the terrible Viking lords who rule Northumbria.'The Lords of the North' is a powerful story of betrayal, romance and struggle, set in an England of turmoil, upheaval and glory.
