Pelvic Flaws by Nikki Ashton 4.5 Stars (320 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Lesley Jones, best-selling author of Carnage and CowSex said of Pelvic Flaws - "A realistic and hilarious take on starting over when you're in your 40's. Toss in a sexy silver fox and you've got yourself a great read" Chloe Walsh best-selling author agreed: Humorous, heartfelt and grippingly original, Pelvic Flaws is Nikki's best work to date. With a loveable heroine and riveting hero, the story bounces off the page and into your hear. Magnificent as always. When a single mum meets a sexy tattooed Texan, you know things are going to get hot - and maybe a little crazy. If a sneeze can ruin your day and it's not just the hairs on your head that need a dye job, your life is definitely changing. What do you do, though, if a hot Texan shows interest in you? What the hell, go with the flow! Pelvic Flaws is the story of one woman's struggle with hot sweats, mood swings and perilously poor pelvic floor muscles. It's the story of Dex, who thinks all those things about Katie are funny and adorable. It's the story of a romance that could turn into something big. It's the story of what might be the love affair of the century, potentially being ruined by the baggage that neither of them knew existed.

Mothers of The Claw by Keira Rose 4.7 Stars (27 Reviews)    Price verified 37 minutes ago

AS IF MOTHERHOOD ISN'T HARD ENOUGH... Moving to a new town is never easy, particularly when there happens to be a hole to the underworld within the city limits. Angie, the new blood in town, is forced to leave the safety of her house when her daughter's blowout obliterates their sole remaining diaper. Equipped with holy water, garlic, and a silver knife, she hazards a trip to Enumclaw's grocery store, where a near catastrophic meltdown in the diaper aisle lands her an invite to a local moms' group. Angie's desire for alcohol and grown-up conversation outweighs her fear of the locals, and she decides to join. To her great surprise, she realizes supernatural mothers aren't much different than herself... aside from their struggles with bite training and night howling. No sooner does Angie find her tribe, than strange things begin happening within the group. Children are kicked out of daycares. Nannies go missing. Suspicion of a rival mom's group -- that just so happens to be a coven of witches -- puts Angie's newfound fondness for Enumclaw to the test. Drunken covert recon missions, undercover espionage, a psychic from the underworld, and even a trip to the black market, pushes her to her limits. Sleep deprived, over-caffeinated, and stressed beyond their limits, the moms' group bands together to take down the bitchy witches. But when the time comes, will Angie defend her new friends, or succumb to her fear of The Claw? This comedic Women's Fiction--with just a little bit of spice--celebrates the rollercoaster that is motherhood, and the mom friend's that help us to survive it.

Spain in crisis (2007-2014). A view from the Eurotower: Volume I. From the financial crisis to the sovereign debt crisis by José Marín Arcas (Círculo Rojo) 5.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

SPAIN IN CRISIS (2007-2014). A view from the Eurotower. Volume I. From the financial crisis to the sovereign debt crisis This book offers in four volumes a detailed narrative of the crisis in Spain (2007-2014), from the perspective of someone who followed it closely at the European Central Bank. Spain is the center of the narrative, but the book also describes the involvement of the main European institutions and events in other countries in crisis. It therefore presents an overview of the similarities and differences of the crisis in these countries and of the complexities of the institutional framework in which political decisions affecting the entire eurozone were adopted. The four volumes are: • Volume I. From the financial crisis to the sovereign debt crisis (2007-April 2010) • Volume II. Spain delays being rescued (May 2010-July 2011) • Volume III. Rescuing Spain (August 2011-July 2012) • Volume IV. Overcoming the crisis (August 2012-2014) The narrative is organized around a sequence of events which represented milestones in the unfolding of the crisis in different countries: the eruption of the US financial crisis in the summer of 2007; the fall into the Great Recession of the international economy in the Autumn of 2008; the euro sovereign debt crisis in May 2010, when the economy was recovering from the recession; the fall of the Spanish economy into a second recession in 2011 and the reform of its Constitution in the summer; the need to rescue the Spanish financial system in the summer of 2012; the redress of the euro area sovereign debt crisis after the launch of the banking union initiative, and the resolve of the European Central Bank (ECB) to act as a lender of last resort of governments in a fiscal crisis; and finally, the economic recovery by the end of 2013 and in the following years. This first volume sets the stage of the structural fault lines and cyclical position of the Spanish economy within the euro area for the succession of ...

Escaping Alcatraz: The Untold Story of the Greatest Prison Break in American History by Michael Esslinger 4.7 Stars (65 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

NOTE: This book contains graphic depictions of extreme crime and violence. Its content may not be suitable for all readers. ** Escaping Alcatraz was the winning title of the 2018 International Book Awards in the True Crime category. ** Under the cover of night on June 11, 1962, using only crude homemade tools, Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin tunneled their way out of Alcatraz, America's most secure maximum security prison. Enacting a complex escape plan, the trio broke free from the cellblock, made it undetected past patrolling guards, inflated homemade life vests and a raft, and set sail into a foggy history. Made famous by the classic film Escape from Alcatraz starring Clint Eastwood and multiple Hollywood documentaries, this legendary mystery is still debated over a half century later. Considered America's Devil Island, Alcatraz opened in August 1934 with the intent to turn the spectacularly colorful dispositions of America's worst criminals into a world of black and white. Cramped cells, stern discipline, strict rules, and an unrelenting routine shaped almost every aspect of daily life on the Rock. The island was a natural fortress, separated from the mainland by a narrow strait of frigid water and deadly currents. It was believed that no one could escape alive. With its damp cold and austere isolation, Alcatraz was the toughest of all federal penitentiaries--as tough as the criminals housed there--and it successfully contained some of America's most notorious outlaws. In Escaping Alcatraz: The Untold Story of the Greatest Prison Break in American History, Alcatraz Historian Michael Esslinger and David Widner, nephew of the Anglin brothers, both featured in the History Channel documentary Alcatraz: Search for the Truth, have compiled hundreds of photographs, FBI and Bureau of Prisons investigative notes, original source documents from the Anglin family library, inmate case file records, interviews with key convicts and officers, and ...

The Far Shore by Edward Ellsberg 4.6 Stars (577 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

June 6, 1944, D-Day: Allied forces took the beaches at Normandy -- and the naval engineering genius of Edward Ellsberg would play a crucial part. Before World War II, Edward Ellsberg had already established himself as a true innovator and master naval engineer, revolutionizing the salvage and rescue of sunken vessels like no one before. Then, having served his country for over a decade, he retired to private life. But his work was not finished. Within hours of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the aging and physically ill Ellsberg was on a train to Washington, DC, to offer his services once again. And they would be needed for the greatest military invasion in human history. In The Far Shore, Rear Admiral Ellsberg describes in detail the meticulous preparation and efforts behind the Normandy Invasion -- efforts that would keep the flow of men and materials streaming onto the beaches and into the heart of Europe. From dealing with the extremes of engineering possibilities to wrestling with the knowledge that countless lives would depend on the success of his intricate planning, Ellsberg would work himself into exhaustion to do his part. His achievements would eventually earn him the Distinguished Service Medal and lead to his appointment as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. Vividly described by a man who saw firsthand the horrors of war and the cost of victory, The Far Shore takes readers through the brutal surf, onto the bloody beaches, and into the mind of one of World War II's little-known heroes.

Misreading the Bengal Delta: Climate Change, Development, and Livelihoods in Coastal​ Bangladesh (Culture, Place, and Nature) by Camelia Dewan 4.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 32 minutes ago

Perilously close to sea level and vulnerable to floods, erosion, and cyclones, Bangladesh is one of the top recipients of development aid earmarked for climate change adaptation. Yet to what extent do adaptation projects address local needs and concerns? Combining environmental history and ethnographic fieldwork with development professionals, rural farmers, and landless women, Misreading the Bengal Delta critiques development narratives of Bangladesh as a "climate change victim." It examines how development actors repackage colonial-era modernizing projects, which have caused severe environmental effects, as climate-adaptation solutions. Seawalls meant to mitigate against cyclones and rising sea levels instead silt up waterways and induce drainage-related flooding. Other adaptation projects, from saline aquaculture to high-yield agriculture, threaten soil fertility, biodiversity, and livelihoods. Bangladesh's environmental crisis goes beyond climate change, extending to coastal vulnerabilities that are entwined with underemployment, debt, and the lack of universal healthcare. This timely book analyzes how development actors create flawed causal narratives linking their interventions in the environment and society of the Global South to climate change. Ultimately, such misreadings risk exacerbating climatic threats and structural inequalities. Misreading the Bengal Delta is available in an open access edition through the Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The Disarticulate: Language, Disability, and the Narratives of Modernity (Cultural Front Book 8) by James Berger (NYU Press) 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Language is integral to our social being. But what is the status of those who stand outside of language? The mentally disabled, "wild" children, people with autism and other neurological disorders, as well as animals, infants, angels, and artificial intelligences, have all engaged with language from a position at its borders. In the intricate verbal constructions of modern literature, the 'disarticulate' -- those at the edges of language -- have, paradoxically, played essential, defining roles. Drawing on the disarticulate figures in modern fictional works such as Billy Budd, The Sound and the Fury, Nightwood, White Noise, and The Echo Maker, among others, James Berger shows in this intellectually bracing study how these characters mark sites at which aesthetic, philosophical, ethical, political, medical, and scientific discourses converge. It is also the place of the greatest ethical tension, as society confronts the needs and desires of "the least of its brothers." Berger argues that the disarticulate is that which is unaccountable in the discourses of modernity and thus stands as an alternative to the prevailing social order. Using literary history and theory, as well as disability and trauma theory, he examines how these disarticulate figures reveal modernity's anxieties in terms of how it constructs its others.
