She's been told she's too much. He's been told he's not enough. They're about to make a secret deal to keep both their families happy ...At a twelve-day midwinter house party at one of the grandest estates in the United Fae Isles, Lady Aveline Thornhart-still reeling from a magical debut that went spectacularly wrong-must be the perfect lady to salvage her reputation, while the incorrigible Lord Bastian Blackbriar has been sent by his family to court her and plans to sabotage the match by being thoroughly himself.When his attempts to provoke the infuriatingly perfect Aveline lead to a confrontation where all their cards end up on the table, they strike a deal: a fake courtship, just convincing enough to satisfy both their families, after which they'll part ways and call it settled.But forced proximity has a way of undoing the best-laid plans ...For fans of swoon-without-spice romance, sparring partners with delicious competitive energy, and a glittering Regency-inspired world where the magic is as cozy as a crackling hearth.- - -Series Timeline Note: This story takes place the winter before TEMPESTS & TEA LEAVES (Iris and Jasvian's story). It can be read at any point in The Charmed Leaf Legacy series.
Entre mito, símbolo e consciência, this book leads the reader on a journey with Hecate-not merely as a figure of antiquity, but as an archetypal presence that moves through time, cultures, and states of the human soul. From her Titanic origins to ancient worship, from initiatory mysteries to medieval demonization, and into her modern reinterpretations, the work reveals how a single goddess can hold multiple layers of meaning: guardian of crossroads, mistress of transitions, and mirror of inner transformation.More than a mythological study, this is a passage through the human experience in the face of the unknown. Here, the crossroads cease to be only an ancient symbol and become a living metaphor for the choices, crises, and rebirths that shape existence. In the end, the reader encounters not only Hecate-but reflections of themselves, in their own thresholds, where even darkness can become passage.
Welcome to Scandal, North Dakota, where loyalty runs deep and rivalries never die-especially between a country girl and a city boy who's forgotten his roots...CalderI swore I'd never return to my family ranch and brewery. Those memories are best left buried in the dust. But when my father passes, it's on me to shut down and sell up. The problem? Meredith Winslow-the girl running my father's business. Except she's no longer a girl... In those tight jeans, with a hotter-than-hell smirk and a fiery temper to match, she's all woman. And she's refusing to leave. Meredith agrees to show me the ropes so I can help out until we sell. It's exhausting work, so why can't I sleep at night? Is it the paper-thin wall between us, the question of what she's wearing to bed, or the thought of taking away the only home she's ever known?MeredithI've worn my boots to the bone at Crossroads, feeding the horses by day and serving beer to the locals by night. Then brooding, bossy, sex-in-a-suit Calder turns up to kick the door closed on my life with one perfectly polished shoe. This is the place I grew up wild and free. Calder says we have to leave it all behind. And I can't let that happen... Because somewhere between the eye rolls and heated arguments, early morning starts turn into late night flirting. Calling last orders turns into roaming hands and finally knowing what his stubble feels like against my neck. Riding side-by-side with our legs brushing turns into a hard, fast, stolen moment against a fence post... Our chemistry burns hotter than any North Dakota summer. But this man might take everything from me-and if he keeps looking at me with those sparkling brown eyes, I'm worried I might just hand it right to him... A smouldering, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers Western romance that will have you swooning all night long. Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Lyla Sage and Jessica Peterson.
From the founder of YNAB, an app beloved by millions, comes a proven guide to stop worrying about money, for good.There's only one thing you can do with your money: spend it.That may sound odd. Most of us are taught that getting good at money means earning more and spending less. But that well-intentioned advice overlooks money's purpose, and it keeps us stuck worrying about it.Money is for spending. So if you want to get good at money, you need to get good at spending it.But nobody is born knowing how to spend well. Most of us live with a constant gap between how we think we should be spending our money and how we actually want to be spending it. You'll never stop worrying about money until you close that gap.Jesse Mecham shows you how. His approach is simple, but the shift is profound. Two changes make all the difference:Change how you see money. Each dollar represents real time, energy, and effort. Your money is an extension of you, and is therefore meant to be spent as an expression of you.Change how you spend money. Ask one question - What's it for? - to take control of your money, spend with confidence, and stop worrying.This practice has helped millions of people silence the low-grade hum of money worry. The mental math at dinner.The hesitation at the grocery store. The sleepless nights running numbers that never seem to add up. You don't have to live like that. Jesse Mecham's proven method will help you get good at money, and never worry about it again.
Ce livre est un voyage de la meute sauvage au chien façonné par l’homme. On y suit des récits de loups altruistes, de louves exclues et de chiens‑loups en quête de place entre deux mondes. L’ouvrage retrace ensuite la domestication, ce dialogue silencieux entre l’homme et le loup qui fit naître le chien, tour à tour chasseur, gardien et compagnon. Il met aussi en lumière les dérives de la sélection : du bouledogue enfermé dans son masque contraint au terrier forgé pour le combat. Enfin, il explore l’univers singulier du chien‑loup moderne, partagé entre instincts sauvages et codes canins. Comprendre le chien suppose de connaître le loup ; comprendre le chien‑loup exige de connaître à la fois le chien et le loup. C’est un récit entre science et vécu, éthologie et histoires vraies, pour mieux saisir ce que signifie être loup, chien ou… entre les deux.Bertrand Manesse est un spécialiste du loup et du chien‑loup, passionné par l’éthologie et la biodiversité, il œuvre pour une cohabitation apaisée entre humains et prédateurs, notamment auprès des éleveurs. Il anime des conférences‑ateliers de sensibilisation sur le rôle écologique du loup. Il cherche aussi à mieux faire connaître le chien‑loup au grand public afin d’éviter les abandons liés à une méconnaissance de cette espèce.

"O'Shaughnessy's book succeeds in bringing to light a new tendency in French political cinema, and as such will reward the attention of those interested in political cinema as well as French cinema more generally. The book also further opens up fertile terrain in the 'aesthetic of the fragment'." * Senses of Cinema "This volume is a major statement on contemporary politically committed cinema. Its strength is that it proposes a careful mapping of the field, teasing out different shades of commitment within the films themselves, and showing the richness of contemporary French cinema in its social-realist mode." * H-France Reviews "O'Shaughnessy has written a powerful and eloquent polemic for retaining a class analysis of film. Theoretically sophisticated, the book also provides a model of what form that analysis might take, directing us to the signs of resistance which criticism can make politically meaningful." * Cineaste "His analysis is aptly articulated around influential French theoretical frameworks...It is also usefully informed by the critical debates of Cahiers du cinema and Positif.The book is particularly engaging in its exploration of the strategies mobilized to replace the politics of the past and open up possible future channels." * French Studies "...a persuasive survey of politics in current French cinema." * Choice Since 1995 there has been a widespread return of commitment to French cinema taking it to a level unmatched since the heady days following 1968. But this new wave of political film is very different and urgently calls out for an analysis that will account for its development, its formal characteristics and its originality. This is what this book provides. It engages with leading directors such as Cantet, Tavernier, Dumont, Kassovitz, Zonca and Guediguian, takes in a range of less well known but important figures and strays across the Belgian border to engage with the seminal work of the Dardenne brothers. It shows how the works discussed are helping to reinvent political cinema by finding stylistic and narrative strategies adequate to the contemporary context. Martin O'Shaughnessy is Reader in French Cultural Studies at Nottingham Trent University.He has written widely on French cinema and is the author of Jean Renoir (Manchester University Press, 2000) and La Grande Illusion (I. B. Tauris, 2009) and co-editor of Cinema et engagement (L'Harmattan, 2005).

2014 Reprint of 1960 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. For thousands of years, yogis have believed that breath is the essential link between body and mind, energizing a subtle body which connects the physical and mental aspects of our being. In this book, Swami Rama and two noted American physicians explore the science of breath as the missing key to both physical health and the attainment of higher states of consciousness. Basic yogic breathing techniques are explained so that one can immediately begin working with the ancient science of breath. The book on yoga at many points, and although chiefly concerned with the development and control of the physical, it also treats the psychic side, and even enters the field spiritual development.
This book recounts the almost untold story of how the rediscovery of the pagan, mythological imagination during the Renaissance brought a profound transformation to European culture.
Le « sujet » n’est pas une création moderne. Ce n’est pas davantage un concept psychologique. Moins encore l’invention de Descartes. C’est le produit d’une série de déplacements, de transformations et de refontes d’un réseau de notions (sujet, agent, acteur, auteur, acte, action, passion, suppôt, hypostase, individu, conscience, personne, « je », moi, Self, égoïté), de principes (attribution, imputation, appropriation) et de schèmes théoriques mis en place dans l’Antiquité tardive (Plotin, Porphyre, Augustin), élaboré au Moyen Âge (Bonaventure, Thomas d’Aquin), puis mis en crise à l’Âge classique par l’invention de la « conscience » (Locke). Une histoire de la subjectivité ne peut donc être qu’une archéologie du sujet, travaillant la « longue durée » philosophique, une histoire de la philosophie du sujet entendue comme histoire du sujet de la philosophie, une « archéologie du savoir » pensée dans l’horizon de « l’histoire de l’Être ». Placé sous le double patronage de Heidegger et de Foucault, ce premier volume expose une méthode, introduit les concepts (périchorèse, immanence psychique, intentionnalité), présente les schèmes (sujet, suppôt, hypostase, personne; attribution, action, inhérence, dénomination) et forge les outils historiques (attributivisme, subjectité) nécessaires pour construire un premier parcours philosophique et théologique dans les quatre domaines où s’articule la figure inaugurale de l’histoire de la subjectivité : Qui pense? Quel est le sujet de la pensée? Qui sommes-nous? Qu’est-ce que l’homme?

The importance of early childhood mathematics:There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that children from birth to age 8, are capable of more advanced mathematical thinking in the areas of number, geometry, measurement, algebraic thinking, and data analysis than what was thought in years prior (Hachey, 2013).In early childhood education it has been demonstrated that a correlation exists between the level of a child's mathematical ability and their future academic success. The reverse of this relationship has also been observed, where children who are behind the mathematical skills of their peers, continue to fall behind in future studies (Pelkowski, et al. 2019).Furthermore, it is well established in literature that the more maths learning opportunities a child is exposed to, the more growth they will experience in math knowledge (Piasta, et al. 2015).This book is designed to provide a math learning opportunity to foster the curiosity and confidence of children aged 6-8 and set them well on the path to academic success. These 36 math logic puzzles will engage and stimulate your child's problem solving ability through addition and subtraction of healthy foods.

Jerónimo Rodríguez Loera nace en 1936, en el remoto pueblo jalisciense de Lagos de Moreno. Es hijo de un panadero asturiano, Eusebio, y de su joven novia Mercedes, una niña bien de Guadalajara. En apariencia, Jerónimo es un niño mexicano como cualquier otro, pero también es un monstruo: recuerda completo el ciclo de sus reencarnaciones y, con él, todo el comportamiento humano. El prodigio incomunicable de esta mente es recibido por el padre como un signo de retraso mental, y el niño es transformado en el síntoma que denuncia que la familia Rodríguez Loera no es lo que aparenta. Jerónimo educará un odio creciente hacia ese padre autoritario que lo ha desterrado a las habitaciones de los criados. Se gesta así el germen de una verdadera revolución doméstica en cuya culminación se celebrará el reacomodo de la gran ruleta cósmica.Estamos frente a una novela cuántica, donde los diversos tiempos y espacios son simultáneos y donde la persona y el número del narrador se modifican constantemente. Y de esa colisión de realidades emergerán los misterios que inquietarán al lector y que Enrigue desmadeja uno a uno: ¿cómo es que un muchacho turco, tejedor de carpas y destinado al sanedrín, inventó la modernidad ¿Cómo es que el mayor poeta erótico de la lengua era también el hombre más desagradable de su siglo ¿Cómo veíamos el mundo antes del habla ¿Hasta dónde puede llegar la doble moral católica ¿Qué historia de amor merecería ser contada Sabedor de que todo está en todas las cosas, Álvaro Enrigue se apropia de cualquier cabo suelto de la Historia y, al seguirlo, demuestra que el conflicto del hombre contemporáneo no radica en la muerte de la epopeya, sino en que nadie sabe dónde encontrarla.

Cyberspace is a new mission area instrumentally and subject to evangelical church missions. Cyberspace technologies are becoming increasingly instrumental in the Kisii Central SDA church mission that gives her relevance in the technological society. Also, cyberspace technologies are used in worship, prayer, the transmission of sermons and preaching of the gospel, motivational text messages, formation of online church groups, religious instructions. The church within her abilities has appropriated cyberspace technologies to her advantage. It is also the very subject of the SDA church's evangelical mission. People are found in cyberspace, and the content transmitted in cyberspace has more secular values warranting the church's involvement with it as a way of witnessing the message of Christ.
Ehemals Musik junger Abgehängter und Outlaws, ist Heavy Metal heute mehr und mehr in der Mitte der Gesellschaft angekommen: Wohl mehr als 10 Millionen Deutsche hören Heavy Metal. Aber warum tun sie das? Was suchen und was finden sie in dieser Musik, die von Außenstehenden oft als purer Lärm empfunden wird? Warum wimmelt es im Heavy Metal nur so von Monstern und Teufeln - und wieso schweigen auch die Götter und die Engel nicht? Was erleben Metal-Fans, wenn sie ihre Musik hören - und welche Erfahrung treibt sie immer wieder ins Konzert? Wieso lesen sie ständig Musikzeitschriften und hören nicht auf, CDs zu kaufen? Wie ist es zu erklären, dass 40 Prozent der Metal-Fans behaupten, die Musik habe ihr Leben gerettet? Und warum ist Heavy Metal stärker als die Musikindustrie? Worum geht es im Heavy Metal wirklich? Diese Fragen und mehr beantwortet Hartmut Rosa in dieser kleinen Soziologie des Heavy Metal.
