Book Description
Tired of playing games, Dalia is ready to give Travis the birthday present of his life, even if they have to spend an entire romantic evening blindfolded. Frightened of repeating the same mistakes as their parents, Dalia Kade and Travis Moby have been dancing around the magnetic attraction between them for far too long. Dalia is tired of playing games. She's ready to push past all the fears and uncertainty and claim the only man who can send her heart and hormones on a riotous ride to Orgasmville. She enlists the help of her best friend, Zoie Beagan and Zoie's new business, Stupendous Occasions, to give Travis the best birthday present of his life. Travis Moby has contented himself with a quiet birthday evening alone when he discovers an invitation to a romantic dinner with an anonymous companion. Intrigued and convinced it could only be Dalia Kade, he accepts the invitation. An erotic spice to the evening proves more than expected and exactly what's needed to bust through the walls of trepidation between them when the lights go out. But in the light of a new day, they must struggle to keep everything they buried the night before in the dark.

Blindness and Therapy in Late Medieval French and Italian Poetry
Author: Julie Singer
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
ISBN: 1843842726
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
An examination of the ways in which late medieval lyric poetry can be seen to engage with contemporary medical theory. This book argues that late medieval love poets, from Petrarch to Machaut and Charles d'Orléans, exploit scientific models as a broad framework within which to redefine the limits of the lyric subject and his body. Just as humoraltheory depends upon principles of likes and contraries in order to heal, poetry makes possible a parallel therapeutic system in which verbal oppositions and substitutions counter or rewrite received medical wisdom. The specific case of blindness, a disability that according to the theories of love that predominated in the late medieval West foreclosed the possibility of love, serves as a laboratory in which to explore poets' circumvention of the logical limits of contemporary medical theory. Reclaiming the power of remedy from physicians, these late medieval French and Italian poets prompt us to rethink not only the relationship between scientific and literary authority at the close of the middle ages, but, more broadly speaking, the very notion of therapy. Julie Singer is Assistant Professor of French at Washington University, St Louis.

The Book of Barely Imagined Beings
Author: Caspar Henderson
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022604470X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
From medieval bestiaries to Borges’s Book of Imaginary Beings, we’ve long been enchanted by extraordinary animals, be they terrifying three-headed dogs or asps impervious to a snake charmer’s song. But bestiaries are more than just zany zoology—they are artful attempts to convey broader beliefs about human beings and the natural order. Today, we no longer fear sea monsters or banshees. But from the infamous honey badger to the giant squid, animals continue to captivate us with the things they can do and the things they cannot, what we know about them and what we don’t. With The Book of Barely Imagined Beings, Caspar Henderson offers readers a fascinating, beautifully produced modern-day menagerie. But whereas medieval bestiaries were often based on folklore and myth, the creatures that abound in Henderson’s book—from the axolotl to the zebrafish—are, with one exception, very much with us, albeit sometimes in depleted numbers. The Book of Barely Imagined Beings transports readers to a world of real creatures that seem as if they should be made up—that are somehow more astonishing than anything we might have imagined. The yeti crab, for example, uses its furry claws to farm the bacteria on which it feeds. The waterbear, meanwhile, is among nature’s “extreme survivors,” able to withstand a week unprotected in outer space. These and other strange and surprising species invite readers to reflect on what we value—or fail to value—and what we might change. A powerful combination of wit, cutting-edge natural history, and philosophical meditation, The Book of Barely Imagined Beings is an infectious and inspiring celebration of the sheer ingenuity and variety of life in a time of crisis and change.
