Book Description
The Wedding Ultimatum – Helen Bianchin Danielle knew Rafael Valdez was out of her league. She'd turned to him as a last resort to help her family, but the outrageous solution he proposed turned her world upside down! Rafael would make all Danielle's troubles disappear – if she married him and gave him an heir. The idea was shocking, intriguing, tempting! To marry this devastatingly sexy man, and share his bed? Danielle had twenty–four hours before Rafael would return to claim her... The Sicilian's Bought Bride – Carol Marinelli One night of tragedy brings Rico Mancini back into Catherine Masters' life. Now he's demanding that she be his bride... If Catherine says no, she gives up custody of her orphaned niece. But if she says yes, will she be losing her heart to a man who wants her only in his bed? Claiming His Runaway Bride – Yvonne Lindsay The accident that had taken Belinda's memory had provided Luc with the perfect means for revenge. His beautiful bride had no recollection of fleeing her groom on their wedding day...or the real reason behind their union. All she recalled was the unbridled passion they still shared – and the steely–eyed mogul planned to take full advantage of it. Winning Her Back – Lilian Darcy Dr Grace Gaines had been devastated by the loss of her baby, more so as it had become clear her husband Marcus had not wanted the child. Their marriage under threat, Marcus had taken a six–month breathing space, but he would be back on Friday, wanting a decision from Grace on whether they stayed married or not. But until Grace could find out just what Marcus had been holding back from her, how could she make that choice?

Urban Comics
Author: Dominic Davies
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351054481
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Urban Comics: Infrastructure and the Global City in Contemporary Graphic Narratives makes an important and timely contribution both to comics studies and urban studies, offering a decolonisation and reconfiguration of both of these already interdisciplinary fields. With chapter-length discussions of comics from cities such as Cairo, Cape Town, New Orleans, Delhi and Beirut, this book shows how artistic collectives and urban social movements working across the global South are producing some of the most exciting and formally innovative graphic narratives of the contemporary moment. Throughout, the author reads an expansive range of graphic narratives through the vocabulary of urban studies to argue that these formal innovations should be thought of as a kind of infrastructure. This ‘infrastructural form’ allows urban comics to reveal that the built environments of our cities are not static, banal, or depoliticised, but rather highly charged material spaces that allow some forms of social life to exist while also prohibiting others. Built from a formal infrastructure of grids, gutters and panels, and capable of volumetric, multi-scalar perspectives, this book shows how urban comics are able to represent, repair and even rebuild contemporary global cities toward more socially just and sustainable ends. Operating at the intersection of comics studies and urban studies, and offering large global surveys alongside close textual and visual analyses, this book explores and opens up the fascinating relationship between comics and graphic narratives, on the one hand, and cities and urban spaces, on the other.

ABCs of the Christian Life
Author: G. K. Chesterton
Publisher: Ave Maria Press
ISBN: 0870613111
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Aside from C. S. Lewis, no other Christian writer of the twentieth century has had more influence on faith and understanding than the enigmatic, larger-than-life G. K. Chesterton. This anthology combines twenty-six of the most essential passages from his works—from “A” for asceticism to “Z” for Zion—offering an unprecedented roundup of Chesterton’s ideas on the Christian life. Why does it make good sense to be Catholic in the modern world? How might a Christian balance the feasts of saints with Christ’s call to asceticism? What is useful about holy foolishness? What’s dangerous about “comparative religion”? G. K. Chesterton, whose enduring legacy is as a Christian thinker and apologist, offers his thoughts on these topics and more in this unique anthology of his work. Chesterton converted to Catholicism midway through his career of writing some of his century’s most important spiritual and theological works, including Orthodoxy, Saint Thomas Aquinas: The Dumb Ox, and Saint Francis of Assisi. He is known for having written many memorable sentences—he was a master of witty one-liners—but as this book demonstrates for the first time, Chesterton also penned some of the best long passages of Christian literature in the history of the faith. You’ll come away with a better understanding not only of Chesterton, but of the Christian faith as well.
