Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with one hell of a hangover, a raging headache ...and a pair of horns growing from his temples. Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned American musician, and the younger brother of a rising late-night TV star, Ig had security and wealth and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more - he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic. Then beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone - raped and murdered, under inexplicable circumstances - with Ig the only suspect. He was never tried for the crime, but in the court of public opinion, Ig was and always would be guilty. Now Ig is possessed with a terrible new power - with just a touch he can see peoples' darkest desires - to go with his terrible new look, and he means to use it to find the man who killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It's time for a little revenge; it's time the devil had his due.

There are conniving cousins, a hungry press, a scowling but handsome bodyguard who just might be her soulmate, and thousands of years of tradition and customs to learn practically overnight.Izzy soon finds herself caught between worlds, and between versions of herself-back home, she was never "American" enough, and in Japan, she must prove she's "Japanese" enough. Will Izumi crumble under the weight of the crown, or will she live out her fairytale, happily ever after?

Featuring a host of unpublished interviews, this is the first book to explore the greatest year in Hollywood's history - 1971 By anyones estimate 1971 was a great year for cinema. Has any other year boasted such a mass of talented filmmakers plying their trade? Polanski, Woody Allen, Spielberg, Kubrick, Peckinpah, Sergio Leone, Robert Altman, George Lucas, Dario Argento, Nicolas Roeg and Ingmar Bergman, among many others, were behind the camera, while the stars were out in force, too. Clint Eastwood, Marlon Brando, Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Al Pacino, Jane Fonda, Gene Hackman, Paul Newman, Raquel Welch, Dustin Hoffman, Robert de Niro, Jack Nicholson, Steve McQueen and Warren Beatty all had films come out in 1971. This remarkable artistic flowering that came from the New Hollywood of the '70s was just beginning in 1971. The old guard was fading away and the new guard was taking over. With a decline in box office attendances by the end of the '60s, along with a genuine inability to come up with a reliable barometer of box office success, studio heads gave unprecedented freedom to younger filmmakers to lead the way. Featuring interviews with some of Hollywood's biggest names, bestselling author Robert Sellers explores this landmark year in Hollywood and in Britain, when this new age was at its freshest, and where the transfer of power was felt most exhilaratingly.

Runner-up, 2024 Columbia University Press Distinguished Book AwardAtoms are unfathomably tiny. It takes fifteen million trillion of them to make up a single poppy seedgive or take a few billion. And theres hardly anything to them: atoms are more than 99.9999999999 percent empty space. Yet scientists have learned to count these slivers of near nothingness with precision and to peer into their internal states. In looking so closely, we have learned that atoms, because of their inimitable signatures and imperturbable internal clocks, are little archives holding the secrets of the past.David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universeback to its first microsecond 13.8 billion years agowith the help of atoms. He shows how, by using detectors and reactors, microscopes and telescopes, we can decode the tales these infinitesimal particles tell, answering questions such as: Is a medieval illustrated prayer book real or forged? How did maize cultivation spread from the highlands of central Mexico to New England? What was Earths climate like before humans emerged? Where can we find clues to identify the culprit in the demise of the dinosaurs? When did our planet and solar system form? Can we trace the births of atoms in the cores of massive stars or even glimpse the origins of the universe itself?A lively and inviting introduction to the building blocks of everything we know, The Universal Timekeepers demonstrates the power of science to unveil the mysteries of unreachably remote times and places. David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universeback to its first microsecond 13.8 billion years agowith the help of atoms. Autorid: David Helfand

Compiled during the initial lockdown in Europe, this special collection is a meteoric publishing project with contributions from some of the most exciting and innovative authors working today. Meditating on notions of distance and closeness, sameness and alterity, extinguishing and kindling, Tools for Extinction considers how a common pause might give rise to new modes of domesticity and shift experiences of time. What gestures and actions are we willing to perform to make ourselves, and each other, feel at ease or at work? What tools and objects are useful, or unprecedentedly useless, to us in the process? And as our species trademark proclivity for projecting ourselves into the future is disrupted, might we come to see the buildings, animals, plants, and foodstuffs around us in a new light? The anthology takes its name from Steven Brands Whole Earth Catalog, a 1960s counterculture compendium of product reviews, essays, and articles on the themes of self-sufficiency, ecology, and alternative education. By giving access to tools, a new social order and a more sustainable Earth was imagined. Compiled, edited and with a foreword by Denise Rose Hansen.

In trying times, the first thing people lose is perspective. This book will help you understand how to gain spiritual perspective even in times of chaos and uncertainty.After a year like 2020, with its deadly pandemic and turbulent presidential election, Christians are eager to know what's next. They want to understand the times and seasons and how to move forward.In this book respected prophetic minister Chuck D. Pierce shows readers how to gain spiritual perspective by receiving revelation that leads to understanding. So many believers read the Word but don't understand what it is saying. Yet Pierce says it is understanding that will give them the perspective that moves them from where they are to the future God has for them. We lose perspective when we try to put understanding before revelation. In this season we are supposed to wait for revelation, and then we will gain understanding.We have a future, but we have to put the pieces together to get there. We have to take risks to get there. We have to grow in our understanding in order to get there. This book will use biblical and practical wisdom to help readers see their lives as God sees them and lay hold of the future He has in store for them.

Fans of What My Bones Know will enjoy this story of triumph as one successful man finally breaks the silence and faces the demons of his past . . .For decades, Ed Cohen was one of those silent voices. He built a life that, from the outside, looked like successleading organizations around the world, earning respect, and creating impact. No one saw the burden of his truth; no one knew the cost. For more than fifty years, Ed survived behind a mask shaped by fear, shame, and an unnamed past, until the silence became unbearable. Vulnerable is the story of what happens next. It is raw. It is honest. It does not look away. It is the journey of one man finally facing the abuse that defined his childhood, the silence that shaped his life, and the courage it took to tell the truth after decades of hiding. It asks the question many carry but rarely voice aloud: What if the very mask that helped you survive is what has kept you from healing? This is not just a memoir. It is a reckoning. A release. A path forward. Through deeply personal storytelling and hard-earned insight, Ed offers more than his story; he offers a way through, grounded in connection, truth, and the power of being seen. For anyone who has ever carried something in silence, and for anyone who has ever wondered if healing is possible, this book is your invitation. The silence ends here. Autorid: Ed Cohen
