Book Description
When you’re the boss, a romance with your biggest client is out of the question. Right? Max I’m determined to grow my landscape design business fast. It’s the only way to save the home that’s been in our family for generations. So when I land my biggest client ever, the new inn with a huge property, I know better than to get involved with the sexy owner. Besides, Brooke Winters is engaged, and I can’t risk stirring up drama in the small community I depend on for my business. Brooke Have you ever had such bad luck with guys that you start wearing your sister’s old engagement ring as an anti-man shield? Just me? Anyway, it’s working and good thing too. I can’t afford a distraction when I’m the lead architect for the old farmhouse my sister and I plan to turn into an inn. Everything’s on the line, including our life savings. We have to open on time, or we’ll lose our shirts. Only I didn’t count on a gorgeous landscaper brightening every chaotic day with his distracting warm smile. Even my dog is in love with Max. I’m made of sterner stuff. Until I impulsively kiss him and— Fireworks. I didn’t know they were a real thing. Now I’m navigating a slippery slope, desperately trying to put up professional boundaries while keeping our renovation project on schedule. This will either go down in a blaze of glory or a blazing hot mess. This romantic comedy stands alone with a swoonworthy happy-ever-after! No cliffhangers.

The Production of Space
Author: Henri Lefebvre
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
ISBN: 9780631181774
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Henri Lefebvre has considerable claims to be the greatest living philosopher. His work spans some sixty years and includes original work on a diverse range of subjects, from dialectical materialism to architecture, urbanism and the experience of everyday life. The Production of Space is his major philosophical work and its translation has been long awaited by scholars in many different fields. The book is a search for a reconciliation between mental space (the space of the philosophers) and real space (the physical and social spheres in which we all live). In the course of his exploration, Henri Lefebvre moves from metaphysical and ideological considerations of the meaning of space to its experience in the everyday life of home and city. He seeks, in other words, to bridge the gap between the realms of theory and practice, between the mental and the social, and between philosophy and reality. In doing so, he ranges through art, literature, architecture and economics, and further provides a powerful antidote to the sterile and obfuscatory methods and theories characteristic of much recent continental philosophy. This is a work of great vision and incisiveness. It is also characterized by its author's wit and by anecdote, as well as by a deftness of style which Donald Nicholson-Smith's sensitive translation precisely captures.

Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor
Author: Rob Nixon
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 067424799X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
“Groundbreaking in its call to reconsider our approach to the slow rhythm of time in the very concrete realms of environmental health and social justice.” —Wold Literature Today The violence wrought by climate change, toxic drift, deforestation, oil spills, and the environmental aftermath of war takes place gradually and often invisibly. Using the innovative concept of "slow violence" to describe these threats, Rob Nixon focuses on the inattention we have paid to the attritional lethality of many environmental crises, in contrast with the sensational, spectacle-driven messaging that impels public activism today. Slow violence, because it is so readily ignored by a hard-charging capitalism, exacerbates the vulnerability of ecosystems and of people who are poor, disempowered, and often involuntarily displaced, while fueling social conflicts that arise from desperation as life-sustaining conditions erode. In a book of extraordinary scope, Nixon examines a cluster of writer-activists affiliated with the environmentalism of the poor in the global South. By approaching environmental justice literature from this transnational perspective, he exposes the limitations of the national and local frames that dominate environmental writing. And by skillfully illuminating the strategies these writer-activists deploy to give dramatic visibility to environmental emergencies, Nixon invites his readers to engage with some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
