So Much More: A Throwback RomCom (Throwback RomComs Book 2) by Dana Wilkerson (Dana Wilkerson, LLC) (12 Reviews)    Price verified 17 minutes ago

(Note: This book is a sweet, low-heat, closed-door romcom.) I knew I shouldn't have done it. Last month, after I schemed to get my best friend together with her boyfriend, I ended up cuddled on the couch with his brother -- platonically, if platonic cuddling is even a thing. (I can attest that it's not. Well, at least it doesn't feel like it.) Not only that, but I agreed to keep doing it and to keep it a secret from everyone. At the time, I had no doubts it was a mistake. He and his girlfriend had broken up only days before, and I'd wanted him for a long time. But I did it anyway. Now here we are five weeks later. My head is on his lap, his fingers are sliding through my hair, and it's all I can do to keep myself from pulling his lips down to mine. I don't, because I know he doesn't want that. How do I know? He told me so when we started this. Plus, if he changed his mind, he'd let me know. The man is not one to hold back. But then again, neither am I. I'm known for speaking my mind, but in this case I'm not. I'm scared that if I try to take this to another level, he'll shoot me down. And then where will we be? My best friend is probably going to marry his brother. And we work together. It's an impossible situation. I need to end this, but I can't make myself do it. Somebody help me! So Much More is a Throwback RomCom set in the late 1980s. It reads like a contemporary romance with all the tropes, closed-door chemistry, and banter, but the relationship evolves without the use of cell phones or the Internet. Dating was a whole different game in the 80s!

The Worst Country in the World: The true story of an Australian pioneer family (Australia: a personal story Book 1) by Patsy Trench (186 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

In 1801 Mary Pitt left her home in Fiddleford in Dorset with her five children and sailed across the globe to live in a penal colony. Colonial New South Wales was then barely fourteen years old. It was an experiment that looked as if it was going to fail. What on earth made Mary choose to go there? The Worst Country in the World tells the story of the early days of colonial Australia as seen through the eyes of Mary and her family. It describes how the land that was originally considered not fit to be lived in struggled to become the 'lucky' country it is now. It is a personal story of family history told by Mary's descendant, an Anglo-Australian Londoner who once lived in Australia and has a deep affection for it. It is about struggle and snobbery, reinvention and revaluation. "Set against the backdrop of the Australian migrant experience, 'The Worst Country in the World' is not only a great read but a thought-provoking one too, especially for those with links to Australia, which reinvented itself from a convict colony to one of the 'luckiest' countries in the world." Karen Clare, Family Tree magazine "This book relates the author's family history over five generations, using a variety of techniques, each of which alone would pay rich dividends for students to emulate... It provides a rich scenario for Patsy's imagination, building on meticulous research in archives, to present us with a sensitive novel about Australia's beginnings interspersed with reflections relating to the present day.'

Holden has earned my highest recommendation, if your thrill meter can record this level of action." - Tom Gauthier, Readers Favorite, 5 STARS China moves to take over Pagasa Island in the South China Sea, putting it on a collision course with the USA that very quickly takes the region to the brink of total war.

Poor Man's Air Force: A guide to how small drones might be used in domestic unrest or low intensity conflicts by Don Shift (22 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are changing the tactical landscape of warfare. The use of drones in conflicts has the potential to alter centuries of ground warfare in the same way as disruptive technologies like smokeless powder, the repeating firearm, tanks, and radios did in the past. Not just a rhetorical discussion of drone warfare, this book looks at practical usage by the prepared citizen, partisan, and soldier. In 2022, Ukrainian use of modified consumer-grade drones for attack surprised the world who had only really seen them used in intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance roles. Lurid videos of grenades being dropped on unaware troops heralds a terrifying new reality in warfare: the poor man's air force. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are bringing an aerial observation and attack capacity to forces, large and small, that have never had such an advantage before. From warfare, to terrorism, and even self-defense, we have only seen the cusp of what drones can do. Quadcopters have taken aerial hunting and attacks out of the domain of scout helicopters and delivered it to the squad and individual level. In future conflicts, be they full-scale international wars, civil wars, or domestic unrest, use of drones will be commonplace. Their ease of use will make killing easier, enabling those who cannot or would not be soldiers or insurgents to participate in violence. Drones are a new threat as IEDs were and will be used in similar ways to both sniper attacks and bombings against civilian, military, and government targets. Thanks to their inherent intelligence gathering nature and developing attack capabilities, drones have the ability to level the playing field or dramatically tilt in favor of the side with aerial assets. In a civil conflict or during the aftermath of a major destabilizing event, drones will play a huge part in both self-defense and any violence. Proliferation of small unmanned aerial systems will occur rapidly, so their ...

Living in a Nuclear World: From Fukushima to Hiroshima (History and Philosophy of Technoscience) by Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent (Routledge) Price verified 7 hours ago

The Fukushima disaster invites us to look back and probe how nuclear technology has shaped the world we live in, and how we have come to live with it. Since the first nuclear detonation (Trinity test) and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all in 1945, nuclear technology has profoundly affected world history and geopolitics, as well as our daily life and natural world. It has always been an instrument for national security, a marker of national sovereignty, a site of technological innovation and a promise of energy abundance. It has also introduced permanent pollution and the age of the Anthropocene. This volume presents a new perspective on nuclear history and politics by focusing on four interconnected themes-violence and survival; control and containment; normalizing through denial and presumptions; memories and futures-and exploring their relationships and consequences. It proposes an original reflection on nuclear technology from a long-term, comparative and transnational perspective. It brings together contributions from researchers from different disciplines (anthropology, history, STS) and countries (US, France, Japan) on a variety of local, national and transnational subjects. Finally, this book offers an important and valuable insight into other global and Anthropocene challenges such as climate change.

What's Breath Got to Do With it: Synchronizing breathing with being by Offer Dan (1 Review)    Price verified 6 hours ago

For your information You can find on the internet and download the complete eBook for free. Those who "laugh last" are the ones who postpone the last breath and breathe well until the day comes. My mom practiced Yoga and was a breathwork instructor. I started juggling my breath at the age of nine. Five decades later, I decided to write about my methods, personal experiences, and intimate memoirs, sharing my insights. The book is a culmination of persistent knowledge-seeking guided by science and cross-examined by personal observations; the approach sidesteps from the trodden path in presentation and interpretation. Even though Air is light, the subject of breathing can be heavy, burdened with myths and mystic words. I aim to simplify tangled topics yet deeply penetrate the matters discussed. The added humor should assist in digesting the fiber of understanding respiration. Here's a summary of what's covered: • Basic explanations of the biology and chemistry of breathing. • Indications to assess personal effects of different breathing practices. • Practical ways to evaluate an individual's breathing profile. • Breathing exercises for physical and mental wellness. • Breathing tools for responding to immediate situations. Chances are my breathing practices will affect you differently than they affect me. Therefore, I intend to provide you with the know-hows and ways to tweak my practices so they may better suit you as an individual. Along the way, I will answer many questions like the ones below. • Why do traumatic events register differently when screaming out as opposed to holding the breath? • How can synchronizing smiles with inhaling augment the effect of breathing exercises? • How can video recordings of night sleeping make mouth-taping redundant? • How does a 'breathing clock' improve body language synchronization when speaking to an audience? • How does 'Dying man's breathing' assist in overcoming cravings? • How can the ...

Twilight Zone Reflections: An Introduction to the Philosophical Imagination by Saul Traiger (Lever Press) Price verified 7 minutes ago

Twilight Zone Reflections is the first book of its kind to explore the entirety of The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) as a series. It acts as both an introduction to the field of philosophy and as a complete guide to the philosophical issues illustrated throughout the original 1959-64 television series. Author Saul Traiger explores each of the 156 episodes, investigating the show's themes in metaphysics, epistemology, moral and political philosophy, and other topics in a way that is accessible to both seasoned philosophers and those outside academia. Each short chapter dives into a single episode and concludes with helpful cross-references to other episodes that explore similar philosophical problems and subjects. For example, a reader may be interested in questions about the nature of the mind and whether machines can think. By referencing this book, they could easily discover the thematic connections between episodes like "I Sing the Body Electric" or "The Lateness of the Hour," and learn how both episodes introduce the viewer to possible worlds that challenge us to consider whether our idea of the mind, and even our very personhood, extends beyond the human to robots and other artificial intelligences. Each chapter introduces fundamental philosophical questions such as these through the lens of The Twilight Zone and inspires additional exploration. Further readings are suggested for all episodes, making this volume indispensable to academics, students, and fans of the show. Each chapter is short and accessible, ensuring that this book is the perfect resource to accompany a complete series re-watch. The Twilight Zone considered questions that strike at the heart of philosophical inquiry, such as the nature of self, the existence of god, the possibility of an afterlife, the relationship between knowledge and mental illness, the nature of possibility, even the nature of imagination itself, and so much more. Traiger argues that each episode can serve as an entry ...

Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature (Literatures, Cultures, and the Environment) by Matthias Klestil (Palgrave Macmillan) (1 Review)    Price verified 10 hours ago

This open access book suggests new ways of reading nineteenth-century African American literature environmentally. Combining insights from ecocriticism, African American studies, and Foucauldian theory, Matthias Klestil examines forms of environmental knowledge in African American writing ranging from antebellum slave narratives and pamphlets to Charlotte Forten's journals, Booker T. Washington's autobiographies, and Charles W. Chesnutt's short fiction. The volume highlights how literary forms of environmental knowledge in the African American tradition were shaped by the histories of slavery and race, mainstream environmental writing traditions, and African American forms of expression and intertextuality. Turning to the Underground Railroad, debates over education and home-building, and the aesthetics of the pastoral and the georgic, Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature provides an original perspective on the African American ecoliterary traditionthat uncovers new facets of canonical and understudied texts and offers new directions for ecocriticism and African American studies.
