Dark academia meets Billionaires meets Vampires in a brand-new paranormal romance series from Sunday Times bestselling author Elena Armas, as an unsuspecting heiress with a target on her back enlists the protection of a vampire whose wealth and secrets rival her own. Valle Cepeda's life changes drastically over the course of a winter break, when she goes from being an Ivy League scholarship student one day to inheriting a fortune from the mother she's never met by the next. The fate of Alma, a coveted fashion empire, is now in Val's hands. Hadrian Cruz presents himself as a calculating, self-serving player in the game of who takes over Alma, but that isn't his true aim. A blood debt that chains him to a hundred-year-old wound is finally being collected, and it involves Val. Furious at everyone who has tried to manipulate her, Val returns to Icarus University, only to see her world has changed shape dramatically, and Hadrian is now at the center of it. She doesn't trust him, but there are things only Hadrian can provide: protection, and a way to satiate the longing she craves more than fears. Plagued by nightmares, can Val decipher the secrets of her legacy? And can she accept that what she feels for Hadrian runs deeper than attraction? Answers always come at a cost, and these could shatter her heart...or bind her soul to the monster she desires the most.

In the isolated high-altitude greenhouses of the Altiplano Research Station, Elena Vance lives by the precision of her climate models. As a lead analyst, she has spent years tracking the slow, agonizing decline of the "Sun-Gold" potato—a rare, resilient strain that once sustained an entire regional culture. When a aggressive fungal blight threatens the final harvest, Elena discovers a devastating truth: the climate data she’s been instructed to simplify for the regional government masks a deliberate policy of neglect. Forced to choose between her professional reputation and the survival of a heritage crop, Elena finds an unlikely ally in Dr. Julian Thorne, the station’s lead agronomist. Julian is a man of quiet competence and strict boundaries, whose devotion to the soil mirrors Elena’s dedication to the numbers. As they work to engineer a solution to the blight, they uncover a document—a legal, state-sanctioned mandate to phase out the Sun-Gold in favor of cheaper, mass-produced imports. In a race against both biology and bureaucracy, Elena and Julian must navigate the fragile politics of the region. Their slow-burning partnership becomes a sanctuary, proving that the most radical act of courage is to protect what others have deemed obsolete. *We Will Plant The Morning* is a poignant, suspenseful exploration of how we honor our past while planting the seeds for a future that is still worth growing.

ufeffSome secrets were never meant to stay buried. After sealing Nyx’s Mirror, archaeologist Elena Voss believed the nightmare was over. But the night has only begun to write. When a living obsidian tablet awakens beneath the hills of Crete, it begins carving itself into reality, etching ancient glyphs onto stone… and into human skin. As violet marks spread across Elena and her team, they realize this is no mere artifact. The Tablet of Eternal Night is writing their futures, their fears, and their endings, one agonizing line at a time. Desperate to end the curse, Elena makes a final, desperate choice: take the tablet to the sea and drown it in the deep. But the night does not surrender easily. As the tablet fights back with terrifying power, Elena must confront the horrifying truth — some things cannot be erased. Some writings can only be answered by rewriting yourself. In the third instalment of the ‘Shadows of Primordia’ series, the darkness grows deeper, the marks grow bolder, and the line between guardian and vessel begins to blur. The night is not finished with Elena Voss. And it is learning her name.

Quand Gabriel reçoit un coup de fil de son meilleur ami, en panique au beau milieu de la nuit, le suppliant de venir en aide à sa petite sœur, il ne peut pas refuser. Parce que la jolie garce qui a brisé son cœur d’adolescent est dans la merde et qu’il est tout bonnement incapable de lui tourner le dos. Peu importe qu’ils ne se soient pas revus depuis des années et même s’il se serait bien passé de ces retrouvailles, lui qui a mis tant de temps à essayer de l’oublier. Face à la jeune femme, toujours aussi fière, excentrique, totalement irréfléchie, et scandaleusement belle, il s’était préparé à ce que ça ne soit pas simple. Après tout, ça ne l’est jamais avec Andrea Cardinale. Mais après toutes ces années, acceptera-t-elle son aide ? Car si des yeux pouvaient tuer, ceux de la petite brune le crucifieraient sur place... Sans aucun état d’âme.

Domestic abuse is a term Elena never thought, in a million years, she would ever be able to apply to her personal life. She is a smart, educated woman. Independent, strong, and confident, and could never understand how a woman would stay in a relationship with a man that was hurting her or - worse - hurting her children. But she was that woman. For 10 years, Elena was married to a man that belittled, degraded, isolated her...and hit her children. There are many other women that have been in similar situations, and situations so much worse than hers, whether they lasted less than a year or more than 30. They are all a part of a club they never wanted to join: domestic abuse. This is not a story meant to draw tears to your eyes or well up pity in your heart. This is a story of faith, strength, and perseverance. This is a story to help break down the stereotypes and misconceptions of what “kind of woman” ends up in a situation like Elena’s, and how there is a loving Savior who desires healing and grace for our lives. This is not a pretty story (domestic abuse never is) but hang in there as you travel with Elena through the ashes of abuse into the beauty of God’s freedom. Discover how you (or someone you know) can find freedom and healing through Christ; of how He can restore your soul. If you are in or have escaped domestic abuse, take heart, friend: You will be sane.

This book aims to offer a comparative analysis of the impact of remittances resulting from labour migration and foreign direct investment on the economic growth. It will be relevant to researchers and policymakers interested in labour and migration economics.

This book provides an introduction to classical celestial mechanics. It is based on lectures delivered by the authors over many years at both Padua University (MC) and V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University (EB). The book aims to provide a mathematical description of the gravitational interaction of celestial bodies. The approach to the problem is purely formal. It allows the authors to write equations of motion and solve them to the greatest degree possible, either exactly or by approximate techniques, when there is no other way. The results obtained provide predictions that can be compared with the observations. Five chapters are supplemented by appendices that review certain mathematical tools, deepen some questions (so as not to interrupt the logic of the mainframe with heavy technicalities), give some examples, and provide an overview of special functions useful here, as well as in many other fields of physics. The authors also present the original investigation of torus potential. This book is aimed at senior undergraduate students of physics or astrophysics, as well as graduate students undertaking a master’s degree or Ph.D.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Cosmopolitan, Goodreads, PopSugar, and more! From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martín, who are forced to share a New York apartment. Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn’t told her family and now has terrible writer’s block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina’s spare key while she’s out of town. But Rosie doesn’t know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking—for lack of a better word—on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armor. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks. Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He’ll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control—but Lucas’s time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.

A NATIONAL INDIE BESTSELLER A BEST BOOK OF 2022 ( Air Mail) Four new and revelatory essays by the author of My Brilliant Friend and The Lost Daughter. In 2020, Claire Luchette in O, The Oprah Magazine described the beloved Italian novelist Elena Ferrante as "an oracle among authors." Here, in these four crisp essays, Ferrante offers a rare look at the origins of her literary powers. She writes about her influences, her struggles, and her formation as both a reader and a writer; she describes the perils of "bad language" and suggests ways in which it has long excluded women's truth; she proposes a choral fusion of feminine talent as she brilliantly discourses on the work of Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Ingeborg Bachmann, and many others. Here is a subtle yet candid book by "one of the great novelists of our time" about adventures in literature, both in and out of the margins. "Everyone should read everything with Elena Ferrante's name on it."— The Boston Globe

Though often seen as scientific or objective, medicine has a fundamentally narrative aspect. Much like how an author constructs meaning around fictional events, a doctor or patient narrates the course of an illness and treatment. In what ways have literary and medical storytelling intersected with and shaped each other? In Medical Storyworlds, Elena Fratto examines the relationship between literature and medicine at the turn of the twentieth century—a period when novelists were experimenting with narrative form and the modern medical establishment was taking shape. She traces how Russian writers such as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Bulgakov responded to contemporary medical and public health prescriptions, placing them in dialogue with French and Italian authors including Romains and Svevo and such texts as treatises by Paul Broca and Cesare Lombroso. In nuanced readings of these works, Fratto reveals how authors and characters question the rhetoric and authority of medicine and public health in telling stories of mortality, illness, and well-being. In so doing, she argues, they provide alternative ways of thinking about the limits and possibilities of human agency and free will. Bridging the medical humanities, European literary studies, and Slavic studies, Medical Storyworlds shows how narrative theory and canonical literary texts offer a new lens on today’s debates in medical ethics and bioethics.

The New York Times–bestseller set in a divided Naples—now a Netflix original series—from the acclaimed author of My Brilliant Friend and The Lost Daughter. A BEST BOOK OF 2020 The Washington Post · O, The Oprah Magazine · TIME Magazine · NPR · People Magazine · The New York Times Critics · The Guardian · Electric Literature · Financial Times · Times UK · Irish Times · New York Post · Kirkus Reviews · Toronto Star · The Globe and Mail · Harper's Bazaar · Vogue UK · The Arts Desk Giovanna's pretty face is changing, turning ugly, at least so her father thinks. Giovanna, he says, looks more like her Aunt Vittoria every day. But can it be true? Is she really changing? Is she turning into her Aunt Vittoria, a woman she hardly knows but whom her mother and father clearly despise? Surely there is a mirror somewhere in which she can see herself as she truly is. Giovanna is searching for her reflection in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves from one to the other in search of the truth, but neither city seems to offer answers or escape. "Another spellbinding coming-of-age tale from a master." — People Magazine, Top 10 Books of 2020 "The literary event of the year." — Elle "Ms. Ferrante once again, with undiminished skill and audacity, creates an emotional force field that has at its heart a young girl on the brink of womanhood." — The Wall Street Journal

Exhibitions for Social Justice assesses the state of curatorial work for social justice in the Americas and Europe today. Analyzing best practices and new curatorial work to support all those working on exhibitions, Gonzales expounds curatorial practices that lie at the nexus of contemporary museology and neurology. From sharing authority, to inspiring action and building solidarity, the book demonstrates how curators can make the most of visitors’ physical and mental experience of exhibitions. Drawing on ethnographic and archival work at over twenty institutions with nearly eighty museum professionals, as well as scholarship in the public humanities, visual culture, cultural studies, memory studies, and brain science, this project steps back from the detailed institutional histories of how exhibitions come to be. Instead, it builds a set of curatorial practices by examining the work behind the finished product in the gallery. Demonstrating that museums have the power to help our society become more hospitable, equitable, and sustainable, Exhibitions for Social Justice will be of interest to scholars and students of museum and heritage studies, gallery studies, arts and heritage management, and politics. It will also be valuable reading for museum professionals and anyone else working with exhibitions who is looking for guidance on how to ensure their work attains maximum impact.

This book examines ideas of spiritual nourishment as maintained chiefly by Patristic theologians –those who lived in Byzantium. It shows how a particular type of Byzantine frescoes and icons illustrated the views of Patristic thinkers on the connections between the heavenly and the earthly worlds. The author explores the occurrence, and geographical distribution, of this new type of iconography that manifested itself in representations concerned with the human body, and argues that these were a reaction to docetist ideas. The volume also investigates the diffusion of saints’ cults and demonstrates that this took place on a North-South axis as their veneration began in Byzantium and gradually reached the northern part of Europe, and eventually the entirety of Christendom.

"By the will of fate I came to play a part in not letting Hitler achieve his final goal of disappearing and turning into a myth... I managed to prevent Stalin''s dark and murky ambition from taking root - his desire to hide from the world that we had found Hitler''s corpse" - Elena Rzhevskaya "A telling reminder of the jealousy and rivalries that split the Allies even in their hour of victory, and foreshadowed the Cold War"- Tom Parfitt, The Guardian On May 2,1945, Red Army soldiers broke into Hitler''s bunker. Rzhevskaya, a young military interpreter, was with them. Almost accidentally the Soviet military found the charred remains of Hitler and Eva Braun. They also found key documents: Bormann''s notes, the diaries of Goebbels and letters of Magda Goebbels. Rzhevskaya was entrusted with the proof of the Hitler''s death: his teeth wrenched from his corpse by a pathologist hours earlier. The teeth were given to Rzhevskaya because they believed male agents were more likely to get drunk on Victory Day, blurt out the secret and lose the evidence. She interrogated Hitler''s dentist''s assistant who confirmed the teeth were his. Elena''s role as an interpreter allowed her to forge a link between the Soviet troops and the Germans. She also witnessed the civilian tragedy perpetrated by the Soviets. The book includes her diary material and later additions, including conversations with Zhukov, letters of pathologist Shkaravsky, who led the autopsy, and a new Preface written by Rzhevskaya for the English language edition. Rzhevskaya writes about the key historical events and everyday life in her own inimitable style. She talks in depth of human suffering, of bittersweet victory, of an author''s responsibility, of strange laws of memory and unresolved feeling of guilt.

Black Pasta is a riveting story of a beautiful, feisty young aristocrat, Elena Curtopassi, growing up under Mussolini. She endures the German occupation of Rome, witnesses Adolf Hitler’s triumphant parade from the Colosseum and then experiences the liberation of the city by the Allies. After becoming a secretary to the Allied Control Commissioner, then the King’s aide-de-camp, she fraternises with the British and decides to leave to start a new life in England – one of the first to do so after Britain and Italy’s former enmity. In an austerity-ridden London, she falls in love with the British and the then-unconventional bohemian sculptor and painter John Harvey, the son of Britain’s most powerful diplomat, Sir (later Lord) Oliver Harvey, the most dominant figure in the Foreign Office during the war as Anthony Eden’s private secretary. For the first time, the story of the relentless vendetta by the Harveys’ predecessors at the Paris Embassy, Duff and Diana Cooper, can be told. Back in London, Elena finds that her previous way of life has been turned upside down. She must experience the unconventional life of the art world, John’s Picasso-esque variety of styles and early success as a best-selling author (the Beatles song ‘Within You Without You’ was derived from the title of his novel Within and Without, which was published by Penguin), whilst also managing a country estate in glorious surroundings in Wales. Black Pasta tells the story of a love affair not just between a young Italian woman and an Englishman, but of an enduring love between the two countries from Roman times onwards. Poignant and heart-warming, it will appeal to those wishing to learn more about life under occupation whilst experiencing a love story.

"The story of [Elena Dunkle] a girl whose armor against anxiety becomes artillery against herself as she battles on both sides of a lose-lose war in a struggle with anorexia"--Publisher.

The Mediterranean sea has been a key geopolitical territory in the global international relations of the twentieth century; of crucial importance to the US, the Middle East and in the history of the EU. As Cold War documents become declassified and these archives become accessible to western historians, this volume reassesses the secret war waged over three decades for control of the Mediterranean Sea. An 'American lake' in the 1950s, a battlefield for influence in the Cold War of the 1960s, and an increasingly important political arena for the oil-rich Gulf States in the 1970s, the Mediterranean offers a focal point around which the major themes and narratives of Cold War history were constructed. "Detente in Cold War Europe" draws together detailed analyses of the major moments of post-WWII history through the prism of the Mediterranean - including the signing of the Helsinki Accords in 1975, the Jordan crisis of 1970, the Soviet role in the Yom Kippur war, the Cyprus emergency of 1974, US-Soviet detente and US-Israeli relations under President Nixon. This book is a vital work for historians of the twentieth century and for those seeking to understand the importance of the Mediterranean in the political history of the Cold War.
