Book Description
Mills & Boon Modern — Escape to exotic locations where passion knows no bounds. Pregnant Enemy, Christmas Bride - Maisey Yates It’s cold outside...but they’re playing with fire! CEO Florence Clare’s relationship with Hades Achelleos is...complicated. By day, her corporate enemy is the devil himself, their rivalry a thing of headline-grabbing legend. By night, they indulge in a clandestine affair. Equally brilliant, equally headstrong, they are one another’s forbidden rebellion... Hades is fire personified, and Florence has always known their entanglement becoming public would be disastrous. But this Christmas, two little lines threaten to reveal her darkest secret — she’s pregnant. And the paparazzi sense scandal when the Greek tycoon announces his shocking new bride-to-be... Spaniard’s Waitress Wife - Kate Hewitt Married in haste...reunited in passion? A cocktail waitress and a Spanish aristocrat? Their passionate whirlwind romance had everyone convinced — until Mia ran away weeks into their marriage, after a painful loss created an emotional chasm they couldn’t cross. But Santos has finally found her... Vows are forever, as far as Santos is concerned. He insists Mia come home to Seville, but she carries too much heartbreak to return. Santos changes tack, using desire rather than demands to reclaim his runaway wife. But he must confront their past and expose his own vulnerabilities, for Mia to trust him with hers... Contractually Wed - Tara Pammi Her high-stakes proposal: ‘Marry me and you’ll have won.’ Greek magnate Apollo Galanis amassed his fortune with one purpose: the ruin of the Shetty dynasty. His final gambit? Gaining control of the Shetty business by conveniently marrying his enemy’s eldest daughter. Until it’s blown apart when Jia, the fiery, and altogether more alluring Shetty sister, demands Apollo wed her instead! Proposing to vengeful Apollo is the latest in Jia’s lifetime of decisions made purely to protect her family. But one tantalisingly scorching kiss tells Jia that brokering this contract marriage could come at far too high a cost... Vows Of Revenge - Julia James The Greek wants revenge...but at what cost? Shy archaeologist Kassia Andrakis is used to a quiet life in the shadows. Attracting the attention of billionaire Damos Kallinikos feels almost too good to be true! Stepping into his world is a heady experience, and the ever-growing hunger in his eyes gives Kassia a newfound confidence. Damos had one goal when he decided to seduce Kassia — to thwart her ruthless father, a longtime business rival. But realising his callously feigned attraction has led to a dangerously real connection, Damos must decide what’s most important: payback or passion...

Book Description
From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Grassroots Postmodernism
Author: Gustavo Esteva
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1783601841
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
With the publication of this remarkable book in 1998, Gustavo Esteva and Madhu Suri Prakash instigated a complete epistemological rupture. Grassroots Post-modernism attacks the three sacred cows of modernity: global thinking, the universality of human rights and the self-sufficient individual. Rejecting the constructs of development in all its forms, Esteva and Prakash argue that even alternative development prescriptions deprive the people of control over their own lives, shifting this control to bureaucrats, technocrats and educators. Rather than presuming that human progress fits a predetermined mould, leading towards an increasing homogenization of cultures and lifestyles, the authors argue for a ‘radical pluralism’ that honours and nurtures distinctive cultural variety and enables many paths to the realization of self-defined aspirations. This classic text is essential reading for those looking beyond neoliberalism, the global project and the individual self.

Reinventing Yourself in Your Retirement Years
Author: Lee Gale Gruen

ISBN: 9781735848105
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Have you retired or are about to and have no clue what to do next? Don't succumb to isolation and depression as so many have. This book offers a detailed guide for retirees, those soon to retire, baby boomers, and seniors to reinvent themselves in this new stage of their lives by finding joy, excitement, and purpose in their retirement. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach but instead highlights how each individual can identify and locate gratifying activities and pursuits based on their own interests and comfort level. The author learned the secret the hard way and finally transitioned from retired probation officer to actress, author, public speaker, and blogger. Audience members at her lectures on senior reinvention began requesting a book on the subject. This is the result, and it contains the content of those talks as well as six years of posts from her free, online blog. Her lectures, blog, and this book are all titled, "Reinventing Yourself in Your Retirement Years." The book details the author's own personal reinvention after she retired; why people fear retirement; why they eventually do retire; how you can find joy, excitement, and purpose in your retirement; how you can figure out what might be of interest to you personally; and what the secret is to customizing available choices to your particular personality. To help guide them, the reader is then given a long, detailed account of what is available to retirees in the community as well as where and how to find those activities and pursuits. There is a separate chapter on volunteer activities and another on employment opportunities for retirees and seniors. The final chapter offers six years of posts from the author's blog which she has been writing every two weeks since 2013 where she discusses her thoughts, observations, and experiences which she believes are universal to the retiree and senior populations.

Everyday Aesthetics
Author: Katya Mandoki
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131713849X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Katya Mandoki advances in this book the thesis that it is not only possible but crucial to open up the field of aesthetics (traditionally confined to the study of art and beauty) toward the richness and complexity of everyday life. She argues that in every process of communication, whether face to face or through the media, fashion, and political propaganda, there is always an excess beyond the informative and functional value of a message. This excess is the aesthetic. Following Huizinga's view of play as an ingredient of any social environment, Mandoki explores how various cultural practices are in fact forms of playing since, for the author, aesthetics and play are Siamese twins. One of the unique contributions of this book is the elaboration and application of a semiotic model for the simultaneous analysis of social interactions in the four registers, namely visual, auditory, verbal and body language, to detect the aesthetic strategies deployed in specific situations. She argues that since the presentation of the self is targeted towards participants' sensibilities, aesthetics plays a key role in these modes of exchange. Consequently, the author updates important debates in this field to clear the way for a socio-aesthetic inquiry through contexts such as the family, school, medical, artistic or religious traditions from which social identities emerge.

Author: Annabelle Mooney
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780415576581
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
This book examines the ways in which language functions, how it influences thought and how it varies according to age, ethnicity, class and gender. It seeks to answer such questions as: How can a language reflect the status of children and older people? Do men and women talk differently? How can our use of language mark our ethnic identity? It also looks at language use in politics and the media and investigates how language affects and constructs our identities, exploring notions of correctness and attitudes towards language use. While it can be used as a stand-alone text, this edition of Language, Society and Power has also been fully cross-referenced with the new companion title: The Language, Society and Power Reader. Together these books provide the complete resource for students of English language and linguistics, media, communication, cultural studies, sociology and psychology. --Book Jacket.
