Everybody knows about Charles Darwin, and many know about others in his family, from Erasmus Darwin and Tom Wedgwood, the first photographer, to composer Ralph Vaughan Williams and poet and radical John Cornford, the first Briton to be killed in the Spanish Civil War. But when Charles and Emma Darwin's great-great-granddaughter, another Emma Darwin, tried to root her new novel in that history, the conflict between her complex heritage, and her own identity as a writer, became a battle that nearly killed her. This is Not a Book About Charles Darwin takes the reader on a writer's journey through the Darwin-Wedgwood-Galton clan, as seen through the lens of Emma's struggle. Along the way, her wry, witty and honest memoir becomes a brave book about failure - and, above all, a book about writing and how stories are told. Richly illustrated with over 40 black and white images. Autorid: Emma Darwin

The Bane of Tongue (Kitab afat al-lisan) is Book 24 of the Imam al-Ghazali s magnum opus, I ya? ?ulum al-din, The Revival of the Religious Sciences. Within the architecture of this monumental work, Afat al-lisan is the fourth book of the third quarter, The Ways to Perdition (Rub? al-muhlikat), in which al-Ghazali sums up in ten books (or chapters) all the human shortcomings and vices traditionally believed to lead a person into a state of loss in this world and the Next, and which in certain respects overlap with the Judeo-Christian notion of the seven deadly sins.In Book 24, al-Ghazali divides the banes (afat) or defects of the tongue, from the least to the most offensive, into twenty short chapters, each of which comprises a psychological/spiritual analysis of how and why the particular defect might exist in a person s soul, examples of how it manifests itself in behavior, and practical suggestions for eliminating it from one s personality. The misuse of the gift of speech and language is certainly not something new, as this work, composed nearly 950 years ago, amply shows, but in this age of internet-based communication, it has taken on a new and more destructive dimension.

Sizzling, seductive fiction that's both recognizable and heartbreaking, from the bestselling author of The Idea of YouWhen Cecelia Chen gets into a fender bender, she's shocked to find she recognizes the swan-necked beauty she's mildly injured. And it's this chance encounter with the glamorous Anouk Ferrand that will change Cecelia's life. Sexy and emotionally involving, Intersection's core is a familiar and much-discussed challenge for many women: how to express creativity, how to be frankly sexual and emotionally vibrant in and out of a marriage, how to be a constant friend, a good mother. In Cecelia, Lee creates a conflicted character dealing with a complex set of circumstances: a photographer with a Jamaican background from the East Coast married to a Frenchman whose career has catapulted beyond hers. Readers will immediately recognize the dynamics of Cecelia's complicated marriage and her worries about raising her bi-racial children in a place she's not sure she wants to be, a Westside Los Angeles that's a platform for privilege and power. What will keep readers feverishly turning the pages is what stuns Cecelia herself: the intensity of her explosive physical and emotional entanglement with Anouk. Did what happened between them two decades ago begin something Cecelia won't be able to stop?
Caden KellyThey all say I was born with a natural talent. But skill isn't the same as passion, and I've never loved hockey. Not the spotlight, not the pressure, and definitely not the expectations that come with being my father's son.I dream of a quieter life-one where I build and create instead of perform for a crowd. But in my father's world, dreams are irrelevant. Control is everything. And he's a ruthless expert at keeping me in line. So when he pushes me to sign with a new team far from home, I don't argue. I never do.Then Asher "The Ace" Landry steps onto the ice and into my life. I've seen his face on screens countless times, Stanley Cup champion turned assistant coach. But in person, he's nothing like I imagined. Thoughtful. Attentive. Safe. And somehow, he sees me, even when I'm trying my hardest to disappear.The truth is, I'm lost. On the ice. In my family. And in these new, confusing feelings Ash stirs in me. But something's shifting, and as the pressure builds to a breaking point, I realize maybe it's time I start fighting for my life, not the one planned out for me.
