"When I open my mouth, I''m so brutally honest / And I can''t expect that kind of love from you."- Morcheeba, Otherwise Andreea-Claudia Groza''s The Purple Butterfly is not simply a memoir. It''s a meditation in motion, a personal archive of resistance, of rupture, of becoming. It does not seek permission to inspire. It whispers truths we often hide even from ourselves and dares to say them out loud. There is an unflinching clarity to Groza''s voice: radically vulnerable, philosophically grounded, and self-aware. We are not merely reading about Turner Syndrome; we are ushered into a life shaped by expectations- medical, cultural, familial- and the decision to bend them. Not quite refusal, not yet revolution, but a turning. Images are physical and metaphorical: the back brace as armor, the shaved head as shedding. These are rituals of self-creation. She doesn''t ask to be admired; she asks to be witnessed. And that kind of honesty? It rewrites what a memoir can do. Dr. Stefan L.Brandt.

This book addresses one of the most important legal instruments that can help combat climate change, namely Power Purchase Agreements. As decarbonisation is essential for the global transition to electricity, these contracts are a direct legal link that can be formed between the power producer and the power buyer. This type of contract plays an important role in stimulating the creation and development of more renewable energy projects, such as wind, solar or hydro, by providing secure and long-term revenues for producers, while customers benefit from long-term price predictability. The implementation and development of the signing of these contracts are evaluated in this research, with taking into consideration both the economic, legal and social impacts, as well as the effects on the environment. The analysis addresses the risks to which the parties are subject once these contracts are signed, the key factors that influence the development of these contractual relationships, with consideration of concrete cases where PPA market is a developed one, as well as examining these contracts with other legal financial instruments that have the same purpose and aim, namely Contracts for Difference.

Într-o lume care l-a transformat într-un monstru, ea s-a îndrăgostit de îngerul îngropat sub cicatrici. După patru ani petrecuți într-un centru de reabilitare pentru minori, Asher Van Doren revine în orașul natal cu o reputație care îl precede — una sângeroasă, născută din frică și șoapte tremurânde. O legendă urbană. Un monstru. Un diavol. Așa l-au numit. Așa l-au uitat. L-au crezut mort, iar acum s-a întors. Nicidecum pentru a cere iertare, ci pentru ea. Artemis Voss. Singura lui slăbiciune. Singura prietenă. Fata care-i cunoștea sufletul, înainte ca lumea să-l murdărească. Doar că acea fată a dispărut, iar în urma ei a rămas doar o ruină. O femeie care și-a pierdut strălucirea și s-a logodit cu un alt bărbat. Dacă inima ei a încetat să mai bată pentru el, o va face să-și amintească. Pentru că ea a fost a lui cândva și va fi din nou, indiferent de preț.

This book explores the impact of the Beat Generation on American culture, focusing on how writers like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Diane di Prima used urban settings—New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles—as stages for activism and social commentary, addressing crucial issues of gender, race, and class through their literature. Aimed at scholars, students, and American literature enthusiasts, this study offers a fresh perspective on the Beats’ agenda, emphasizing their unique blend of lifestyle, writing, and protest. By introducing the concept of “meta-manifest places”—a term that expresses the joint meanings of real, geographical space, its metaphoric depiction, and its ideological representation—the book follows the cartographies of the Beat writers to relay the importance of the people-place relationship and to reveal some insights into the lasting legacy of the Beat Generation in shaping modern urban culture.

In a world where we push ourselves relentlessly to achieve our best, it is easy to end up letting ourselves down. Caught up in the rush of societal expectations, we often forget to advocate for our mental well-being, to say "no," or to remove ourselves from potentially harmful situations. Abuse is neither amusing nor entertaining. Whether verbal or psychological, abuse is more prevalent than we realise and can affect anyone, not just the most vulnerable among us.

Boredom as an impetus for architectural theory and practice Any theorist or practitioner of architecture must confront, and even be compelled by, boredom. Called ennui, Langeweile, or acedia, boredom is a pressing concern, as the production and obsolescence of images accelerates with new technologies, leaving individuals saturated with information presented in fleeting displays that are easy to produce, easy to delete, and easy to consume. In this innovative book, Andreea Mihalache discusses the work of a quartet of well-known thinkers—designer Bernard Rudofsky, architects Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, and artist Saul Steinberg—who all recognized this form of exhaustion and shallowness as the disease of the modern world. Rudofsky found it in a deeper and more intimate engagement between the human body and its environment. Proclaiming “Less is a bore,” Venturi, and later Scott Brown, explored excess as the remedy to boredom. With detachment and irony, Steinberg mocked the homogenous architecture of the American city. Taken together, Mihalache shows, these four offer a comprehensive view of the alienated relationship of individuals with their world at three different, yet interrelated scales: the body, the building, and the urban space.

This accessible textbook introduces concepts and frameworks from linguistics and uses them in the analysis of language on social media. Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics and with examples drawn from 12 different social media platforms, including TikTok, Twitter (the book was written prior to the X rebrand), Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat, The Linguistics of Social Media: An Introduction provides the tools to unpick how language is used to portray a particular identity, to persuade, to inform, to amuse and entertain, to vent and to complain. Analysing the language of social media highlights the strategies which operate in the messages and posts found on such platforms. Together, these strategies involve a wide variety of language registers, creativity and language play and a wealth of linguistic innovation. By evidencing the many nuanced ways in which people are engaging with social media, this book demonstrates how users of social media are linguistically savvy, strategic and skilled in navigating different genres and registers online. The book is divided into ten chapters, each comprising two parts: Part 1 introduces key linguistic theory and Part 2 consists of case studies with examples from different social media platforms to demonstrate a particular discourse purpose. Each chapter ends with a summary, references, suggested further readings and ideas for activities and discussions. There are multiple-choice questions and a glossary available online as support material. This is the essential textbook for all courses on language and social media, linguistics and language and communication courses.

„Într-unul dintre romanele lui, José Saramago spune că pălăvrăgeala femeilor care se întâlnesc întâmplător ține lumea pe orbită. Iată însă că vocile reunite în volumul Literatura la feminin (o antologie) nu pălăvrăgesc, ci scriu, luând în serios meseria de scriitor. Îmi place să cred că, în felul ei, și proza lor ține lumea pe orbită. Sau, în orice caz, ține pe orbită literatura noastră contemporană. Îmi place să cred că, dincolo de faptul că sunt voci feminine, se află și alte lucruri importante. Vă rămâne bucuria să le descoperiți." Ioana Pârvulescu „Vocea femeilor se face auzită din ce în ce mai puternic, se impune în literatura contemporană. Literatura la feminin e numele unei rubrici de pe Literomania - platforma literară online pe care o coordonez împreună cu Raul Popescu (din 2017) - în care puteți citi texte literare și eseistice ale unor scriitoare cunoscute de azi și colaboratoare fidele ale Literomaniei. Pornind de la ele, antologia de față vă propune o radiografie feminină a spațiului nostru literar. O antologie diversă, vie și seducătoare - pe măsura scriitoarelor care o semnează!” Adina Dinițoiu Cele 18 scriitoare prezente în antologie sunt, în ordine alfabetică: Gabriela Adameșteanu, Ioana Bâldea Constantinescu, Dorica Boltașu, Ruxandra Cesereanu, Adina Dinițoiu, Ohara Donovetsky, Marina Dumitrescu, Alina Gherasim, Serenela Ghițeanu, Anca Goja, Rodica Grigore, Andreea Micu, Ioana Nicolaie, Ioana Pârvulescu, Simona Preda, Dumitrita Stoica, Monica Șerban, Liliana Ursu.

Everyone should text, right?) You may be quiet. But behind what others perceive as shy, is a brilliant mind with a wealth of talent, creativity, and courage.

Despite a history of hundreds of years of research analysing aspects of English grammar, there are still open problems which continue to baffle language researchers today. Such ‘grammar mysteries’ arise for a number of reasons: because the language is changing; because different speakers of the language adhere to distinct norms and thus introduce and maintain variation in the system; because there are differences between the grammar of spoken and written English. This book illuminates some of the complexities of the subject, the areas where new discoveries await and why it matters. Through a series of accessible and engaging case studies on various aspects of grammar, from multiple negation to possession, the authors present grammar as an intellectual challenge. This book brings out into the open questions about language usage to which we still do not have good answers in a bid to make variation overt and to revel in the mystery of the English language. Both aimed at the interested general reader and the beginning student of English language and linguistics, this is a fresh take on grammar.

Portland cement based concrete is the most versatile, durable and reliable building material. Unfortunately, the production of Portland cement is environmentally unfriendly. An interesting alternative is provided by alkali-activated geopolymer materials (AAGM). This book focuses on fly ash-based alkali-activated geopolymer concrete, its production and characteristic properties. The re-use of waste materials and industrial by-products, such as fly ash, is not only economically of interest but also helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The carbon footprint of these materials is much lower than that of concrete using ordinary Portland cement. They thus offer new sustainable solutions to the construction industry. Keywords: Geopolymers, Geopolymer Concrete, Alkali-activated Geopolymer Materials (AAGM), Portland Cement, Fly Ash-based Geopolymer Concrete, Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Emissions, Concrete Applications, Self-Compacting Concrete, High-strength Concrete, High-performance Concrete.

Once in awhile, you’ll meet those rare people, challenging you to contemplate on the meaning of life, helping you discover your values and using them to bring a positive change in your life and the life of those you love. You would be tempted to stereotype them. I hope this book will help you by giving you a glimpse in the thought process of such person.

The longstanding European conception that Roma and non-Roma are separated by unambiguous socio-cultural distinctions has led to the construction of Roma as “non-belonging others.” Challenging this conception, Textures of Belonging explores how Roma negotiate and feel belonging at the everyday level. Inspired by material culture, sensorial anthropology, and human geography approaches, this book uses ethnographic research to examine the role of domestic material forms and their sensorial qualities in nurturing connections with people and places that transcend socio-political boundaries.

This book provides a chronological literature review of optical wireless communication, followed by a detailed blueprint of a visible light communication (VLC) setup with the key characteristics of LEDs and photodetectors.
