"One of the most uniquely fun and campily gory books in my recent memory... A Certain Hunger has the voice of a hard-boiled detective novel, as if metaphor-happy Raymond Chandler handed the reins over to the sexed-up femme fatale and really let her fly." - The New York TimesFood critic Dorothy Daniels loves what she does. Discerning, meticulous, and very, very smart, Dorothy’s clear mastery of the culinary arts make it likely that she could, on any given night, whip up a more inspired dish than any one of the chefs she writes about. Dorothy loves sex as much as she loves food, and while she has struggled to find a long-term partner that can keep up with her, she makes the best of her single life, frequently traveling from Manhattan to Italy for a taste of both.But there is something within Dorothy that’s different from everyone else, and having suppressed it long enough, she starts to embrace what makes Dorothy uniquely, terrifyingly herself. Recounting her life from a seemingly idyllic farm-to-table childhood, the heights of her career, to the moment she plunges an ice pick into a man's neck on Fire Island, Dorothy Daniels show us what happens when a woman finally embraces her superiority.A satire of early foodieism, a critique of how gender is defined, and a showcase of virtuoso storytelling, Chelsea G. Summers’ A Certain Hunger introduces us to the food world’s most charming psychopath and an exciting new voice in fiction.

Hot on the heels of the crisis in Baggage City, Touma Kamijou returns to Academy City to find the entire student population scrambling to finish preparing for the Ichihanaran Festival, a cultural celebration of massive proportions where schools can attract prospective students.

A few shocking revelations later, Kamijou winds up joining forces with Thor, Gremlin's combat specialist, to rescue a woman with mysterious powers from Academy City custody before the rest of Gremlin-and Ollerus's faction-can get their hands on her. But with so many antagonistic parties in the mix, does Kamijou have any chance of avoiding manipulation again?

Index and Touma are ordered by the Queen of England to investigate the Eurotunnel bombing. The perpetrators-an organization called New Light, whose plans promise to bring massive changes to Britain! Can Touma intercept them in time to stop their scheme before it gets out of hand?!

A Certain Scientific Railgun est un spin-off du célèbre A Certain Magical Index, mais peut parfaitement s'apprécier sans connaître ce dernier. Se focalisant sur la faction scientifique de ce riche univers, le succès de "Railgun" au Japon a été fulgurant. Bien que ce titre fasse la part belle à l'action, il ne néglige pas pour autant les moments tranche de vie, permettant de découvrir et s'attacher à des personnages soigneusement écrits. Alternant entre mystère, humour et combats, c'est une histoire bien rythmée et bien ficelée qui se met en place, servie par un dessin dynamique et efficace. Quels secrets recèle donc la Cité Académique ?

For more than half a century, David Sterritt has been one of America's most distinctive and trusted critical voices, championing both the avant-garde and the mainstream with equal curiosity, rigor, and generosity. In this wide-ranging book-length conversation with cultural critic Mikita Brottman, Sterritt revisits a lifetime at the movies: from his early years at The Christian Science Monitor through his work with NPR, Variety, the New York Film Festival, and the National Society of Film Critics. Along the way he recalls encounters with Hitchcock, Truffaut, Scorsese, and Sophia Loren; debates about auteur theory, philosophy, and popular culture; and the pleasures and pitfalls of a career spent in the dark, watching fi lms, viewing plays, and listening to music with relentless passion and critical clarity. At once personal memoir and cultural history, A Cinephile Under the Infl uence is an absorbing portrait of a critic whose devotion to cinema and culture has shaped how generations of readers see and think about movies, music, and theater.

How can I best support the needs of my neurodivergent clients in therapy? Creating a more supportive environment for autistic clients can be a confusing process. With so much information, and so many different perspectives, it can be difficult to know where to start. Further, the mental health field has only recently begun moving away from "treating autism" to working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals in a more affirming way. That's why Dr. Amy Marschall created A Clinician's Guide to Supporting Autistic Clients. As an expert psychologist and a member of the autism community herself, she recognized the need to move away from treatments that pathologize differences and toward a neurodiversity-affirming approach that meets clients where they are. Inside this new and invaluable resource, you'll find over 100 affirming tips, tools, and interventions that will allow you to: * Honor the language preferences, goals, and priorities of the autistic community * Create a foundation for assessment and treatment that best supports autistic clients * Correct unintentional harms caused by historical "best practices" in autism treatment * Address sensory stimulation and food-based sensitivities in session * Facilitate communication among semispeaking or nonspeaking clients * Request accommodations when appropriate And more! You'll also find a bonus list of resources about autism written by and for autistic individuals. Neurodiversity-affirming care is not a set of specific behaviors or interventions but an underlying philosophy of honoring each client's needs today and every day. Let this resource be your guide!
