Book Description
Most mainstream dating advice is WRONG. Most pick-up artist advice is UNNECESSARY. * If you’re the ‘nice guy’ that always gets friendzoned; * If you’re the shy or anxious guy who is afraid to fully express himself; * If you’re a more outgoing dude who tries to talk to women, but can’t grab or hold their attention; * If you have no idea how to flirt successfully; If you consider yourself as ‘quiet’, ‘introverted’, ‘serious’ or ‘not fun’... ...you’re probably suffering from a lack of what the author Joe Elvin calls BIG DICK ENERGY. Perhaps you’ve tried to solve this by improving your appearance or by learning clever little pick-up artist techniques, and nothing has changed. This book will provide the missing puzzle piece, presenting 12 powerful exercises to summon your inner masculinity, transforming you into the charismatic and dominant man that women can’t help but notice. ** Joe Elvin was an average guy who’d occasionally ‘get lucky’ with average women. Shortly after a devastating break-up, he discovered the seduction community and spent several years studying the techniques of the world’s best pick-up artists. This led him down the path to become a full-time dating writer and coach. But, after travelling the world seducing women of all cultures, it became clear that a strong masculine presence is the most powerful force to excite and arouse beautiful women. While it’s true that women are attracted to good looks, wealth and status, BIG DICK ENERGY has proved to be Joe’s great equaliser. Discover the secrets of unforgettable assertiveness, bravery, charisma and charm in this entertaining and intimate book. ** Ever since the launch of dating apps and social media, the dating market has been globalised. It’s no longer enough to be better than the other guys in your crush’s immediate circle. She can now easily communicate with the best-looking, most high-status men from around your country. If you don’t have the appearance, wealth or status to compete with them, you need to do something to swing the odds in your favor. Dating is only going to get tougher as time goes on. Thankfully, a dose of BIG DICK ENERGY is still enough to win over the world’s most desirable babes. This is what they crave more than money, looks or a new pair of Louboutins, As well as guiding you through the 12 challenges, the author shares some outrageous sex and travel stories to prove why his tips are so powerful. Masculinity isn’t toxic, it’s sexy. So, grab your copy of BIG DICK ENERGY today and prepare to transform your dating fortunes forever.

White Negroes
Author: Lauren Michele Jackson
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807011800
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Exposes the new generation of whiteness thriving at the expense and borrowed ingenuity of black people—and explores how this intensifies racial inequality. American culture loves blackness. From music and fashion to activism and language, black culture constantly achieves worldwide influence. Yet, when it comes to who is allowed to thrive from black hipness, the pioneers are usually left behind as black aesthetics are converted into mainstream success—and white profit. Weaving together narrative, scholarship, and critique, Lauren Michele Jackson reveals why cultural appropriation—something that’s become embedded in our daily lives—deserves serious attention. It is a blueprint for taking wealth and power, and ultimately exacerbates the economic, political, and social inequity that persists in America. She unravels the racial contradictions lurking behind American culture as we know it—from shapeshifting celebrities and memes gone viral to brazen poets, loveable potheads, and faulty political leaders. An audacious debut, White Negroes brilliantly summons a re-interrogation of Norman Mailer’s infamous 1957 essay of a similar name. It also introduces a bold new voice in Jackson. Piercing, curious, and bursting with pop cultural touchstones, White Negroes is a dispatch in awe of black creativity everywhere and an urgent call for our thoughtful consumption.

Pages : 357
Book Description
New York Times–Bestselling Author:“Should be ready by anyone who owns a microwave, or an iPod, or a table lamp, which is to say everyone.” —Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sixth Extinction A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year Coal is still a significant source of power in the United States—and coal mining is still a deadly and environmentally destructive industry. Much of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere each year comes from coal-fired power plants, and in recent decades air pollution from coal plants has killed more than half a million Americans. In this eye-opening call to action, Jeff Goodell explains the costs and consequences of America’s addiction to coal and discusses how we can kick the habit. “[A] compelling indictment . . . powerful.” —The New York Times Book Review “Goodell’s description of the mining-related deaths, the widespread health consequences of burning coal and the impact on our planet’s increasingly fragile ecosystem make for compelling reading, but . . . are not what lift this book out of the ordinary. That distinction belongs to Goodell’s fieldwork, which takes him to Atlanta, West Virginia, Wyoming, China and beyond.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Goodell does a first-rate job of balancing environmental concerns with interviews from the human faces associated with ‘Big Coal’.” —Library Journal

Book Description
*INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER* *INSTANT #1 INDIE BESTSELLER* From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks... For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures. But then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train. Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all. Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time. "A dazzling romance, filled with plenty of humor and heart." - Time Magazine, "The 21 Most Anticipated Books of 2021" "Dreamy, other worldly, smart, swoony, thoughtful, hilarious - all in all, exactly what you'd expect from Casey McQuiston!" - Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of The Proposal and Party for Two

Global Energy Governance
Author: Andreas Goldthau
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 081570464X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
A Brookings Institution Press and Global Public Policy Institute publication The global market for oil and gas resources is rapidly changing. Three major trends—the rise of new consumers, the increasing influence of state players, and concerns about climate change—are combining to challenge existing regulatory structures, many of which have been in place for a half-century. Global Energy Governance analyzes the energy market from an institutionalist perspective and offers practical policy recommendations to deal with these new challenges. Much of the existing discourse on energy governance deals with hard security issues but neglects the challenges to global governance. Global Energy Governance fills this gap with perspectives on how regulatory institutions can ensure reliable sources of energy, evaluate financial risk, and provide emergency response mechanisms to deal with interruptions in supply. The authors bring together decisionmakers from industry, government, and civil society in order to address two central questions: •What are the current practices of existing institutions governing global oil and gas on financial markets? •How do these institutions need to adapt in order to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century? The resulting governance-oriented analysis of the three interlocking trends also provides the basis for policy recommendations to improve global regulation. Contributors include Thorsten Benner, Global Public Policy Institute, Berlin; William Blyth, Chatham House, Royal Institute for International Affairs, London; Albert Bressand, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University; Dick de Jong, Clingendael International Energy Programme; Ralf Dickel, Energy Charter Secretariat; Andreas Goldthau, Central European University, Budapest, and Global Public Policy Institute, Berlin; Enno Harks, Global Public Policy Institute, Berlin; Wade Hoxtell, Global Public Policy Institute, Berlin; Hillard Huntington, Energy Modeling Forum, Stanford University; Christine Jojarth, Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, Stanford University; Frederic Kalinke, Department of Politics and International Relations, Oxford University; Wilfrid L.
