Book Description
The story in this book is about a seven year old little girl named Aubree who discovers and identifies a new bird in her backyard. She has a beautiful bedroom where she reads with her cat Mr. Bunny snuggled on her lap. There are lots of toys around her room that seem to be planning her upcoming 8th birthday party. Oh what a party her parents give her. The whole backyard is set up as a mini carnival with balloons, games and prizes. Aubree receives a very special gift from her parents. She shares it with her friends and they all have fun using them. Aubree spots and identifies the bird [nicknamed Zippy] with lessons she learned from her father. Zippy eventually finds a Mrs. Zippy and they have a family. She watches this whole event from beginning to end sometimes with her best friend. In the course of Zippy's budding family, Aubree goes on vacation and feeds seagulls, catches frogs and collects lake shore items to make a keepsake bottle in remembrance of her fun vacation. She also plays with her adorable and funny Mr. Bunny. She sees gnomes come to life and go through a tiny door on a pine tree and travel to their underground world. Aubree goes on to witness Zippy come back to the same birdhouse for seven years. She realizes there are wonderful adventures to be experienced right in her own backyard.

Pages : 206
Book Description
In Colin Quinn's new book, the popular comedian, social commentator, and star of the shows Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional tackles the condition of our union today. Utah: The Church of States Vermont: The Old Hippie State Florida: The Hot Mess State Arizona: The Instagram Model State Wisconsin: The Diet Starts Tomorrow State The United States is in a fifty-states-wide couples’ counseling session, thinking about filing for divorce. But is that really what we want? Can a nation composed of states that are so different possibly hang together? Colin Quinn, comedian, social commentator, and writer and star of Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional, calls us out state-by-state, from Connecticut to Hawaii. He identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we claim to believe and what we actually do. Within a framework of big-picture thinking about systems of government—after all, how would you put this country together if you started from scratch today?—to dead-on observations about the quirks and vibes of the citizens in each region, Overstated skewers us all: red, blue, and purple. It’s ultimately infused with the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the U.S. into being.

Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you the next installment of her new dark mafia, high school bully romance series. I should have known better than to play with fire... I'd been burned by Theo Cirillo enough to know that I should have seen this coming. He loved to show me his merciless side, but I couldn't stay away from the deviant even if I wanted to. A prisoner of my own making, playing a game without knowing all the rules. Until the lies he'd been telling, the secrets he'd been keeping began to unravel around us. He's the only person I trusted with the truth about my past, but my confession was all for nothing. He never cared. He already knew. He was only manipulating me. Using me. I was nothing more than a job. A nut he had to crack. And he split me right open, but he's about to get a shock because I'm not the kind of girl to roll over and take it. I'm Emmie Ramsey. And I'm about to make him pay for ever trying to play me. Dear reader, Deviant Princess is the second book in Emmie and Theo's deviant trilogy and the fifth book in my dark mafia, high school romance series Knight's Ridge Empire.

Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die
Author: Daniel Sloss
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0525658149
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
One of this generation's hottest and boldest young comedians presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships, and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity. Daniel Sloss's stand-up comedy engages, enrages, offends, unsettles, educates, comforts, and gets audiences roaring with laughter—all at the same time. In his groundbreaking specials, seen on Netflix and HBO, he has brilliantly tackled everything from male toxicity and friendship to love, romance, and marriage—and claims (with the data to back it up) that his on-stage laser-like dissection of relationships has single-handedly caused more than 300 divorces and 120,000 breakups. Now, in his first book, he picks up where his specials left off, and goes after every conceivable kind of relationship—with one's country (Sloss's is Scotland); with America; with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you; with parents; with best friends (male and female), not-best friends; with children; with siblings; and even with the global pandemic and our own mortality. In Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die, every human connection gets the brutally funny (and unfailingly incisive) Sloss treatment as he illuminates the ways in which all of our relationships are fragile and ridiculous and awful—but also valuable and meaningful and important.

Affective Health and Masculinities in South Africa
Author: Hans Reihling
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9780429328565
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
"Affective Health and Masculinities in South Africa explores how different masculinities modulate substance use, interpersonal violence, suicidality, and AIDS as well as recovery cross-culturally. With a focus on three male protagonists living in very distinct urban areas of Cape Town, this comparative ethnography shows that men's struggles to become invulnerable increase vulnerability. Through an analysis of masculinities as social assemblages, the study shows how affective health problems are tied to modern individualism rather than African 'tradition' that has become a clichâe in Eurocentric gender studies. Affective health is conceptualized as a balancing act between autonomy and connectivity that after colonialism and apartheid has become compromised through the imperative of self-reliance. This book provides a rare perspective on young men's vulnerability in everyday life that may affect the reader and spark discussion about how masculinities in relationships shape physical and psychological health. Moreover, it shows how men change in the face of distress in ways that may look different than global health and gender transformative approaches envision. Thick descriptions of actual events over the life course make the study accessible to both graduate and undergraduate students in the social sciences. Contributing to current debates on mental health and masculinity, the volume will be of interest to scholars from a number of disciplines including anthropology, gender studies, African studies, psychology and global health"--
