Attraction doesn’t always take its time. Sometimes it hits in a single moment — sharp, undeniable, and dangerously intimate. The Irresistible follows two people caught in exactly that kind of instant pull: a spark that shouldn’t exist, a chemistry that makes it impossible to walk away, and a night that neither of them can forget. She doesn’t think of herself as irresistible. He notices every small detail about her — the ones she hides from the world. And when the tension finally breaks, their first night together becomes a mix of tenderness, hunger, and the kind of closeness that feels both unexpected and inevitable. This short, sensual Bedtime Story blends emotion with desire, offering readers a warm escape into a world where passion arrives without warning and connection feels dangerously real. A story for women who crave intensity. A story that burns and softens at the same time. A story that stays with you long after it ends.

Are you ready to stop suffering from feelings of fear and unworthiness? Are you ready to heal the pain in your most important relationships? Are you ready to love and be loved? For more than a decade, renowned “Scripture Evangelista” Sonja Corbitt has inspired Catholic audiences with her teachings on how to read the Bible and apply its principles to everyday life. In her flagship book Love Heals, Corbitt distills her years of ministry and teaching to explore scripture as a profound source for healing. She emphasizes that the key to whole-person healing is found in the greatest commandment: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength . . . and your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:30). According to Corbitt this commandment is not given for God’s benefit but for ours “because God’s love has the power to heal every part of us: painful emotions, fears, and memories; judgments, deficits, and wounds of love; oppressive, anxious, negative thoughts; and weary, diseased bodies.” Drawing from the healing stories of the gospels as well as her own life experiences, Corbitt shows how the love of Jesus brings healing to every wounded and broken part of us so that we can, in turn, pour that love into everyone we meet. Love Heals will teach you to recognize areas of your life that are wounded by sin, neglect, and weakness and respond to God’s invitation for healing (Mark 12:30); heal “blind spots” in your emotions and memories and address the root cause of your suffering—just as Jesus healed blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46–52); encounter Christ through the sacraments, affirming your identity in Christ and his Church, and be healed of sinful and painful judgments and actions—just as Christ healed the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:4–42); find release from toxic patterns of thinking that take root and multiply in your life so that you can begin to hear and respond to the truth, just as the deaf man was able to hear the proclamation of the Gospel message (Mark 7:31–37); give and receive forgiveness in order to begin the process of physical healing, alleviating suffering brought on by negativity and other spiritual strongholds—just as Jesus was able to heal the man by the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1–15). In Love Heals, Corbitt will walk with you, hand in hand, through the process of opening your heart, mind, body, and soul to the healing love of God—not because there is something wrong with you or because you need to be fixed but because healing is your rightful inheritance as a child of God. God’s love heals. God’s love resurrects. God’s love renews. God’s love transforms.

En fängslande roman som skildrar maktens manipulerande mekanismer och hur ett naivt kollektiv med goda intentioner successivt leds in i en diktatur. På en gård i sydvästra Finland samlas en blandad skara människor som delar en gemensam känsla av trötthet gentemot det moderna samhällets konsumtionshysteri och teknikfixering. De strävar efter lugn och enkelhet, bortom dagens stress och krav. Tillsammans ska de pröva på att leva ett medeltida liv, odla sin egen mat och klä sig i tidstypiska kläder. Men bland deltagarna råder oenighet, och den till synes fridfulla atmosfären förvandlas gradvis till något mörkare. En självutnämnd ledare proklamerar den autonoma staten Zimbardien, där samhället helt bygger på våld och förtryck. Sonja Nordenswan (f. 1958) är en finlandssvensk författare. 2011 nominerades hon som Ålands första kandidat till Nordiska rådets litteraturpris.

Eleven-year-old Miranium''s summer is going down hill fast: her best friend, Thomas, has moved away, her know-it-all nemesis, Tamika, has moved too near for comfort, her parents are stressed since her father has lost his job, she has just blown up the microwave with an ill advised experiment (destroying her own cellphone in the process), and worst of all her beloved cat, Sir Fig Newton, has developed diabetes; there is no money for his medical care, and her parents want to re-home him--but Mira is determined to raise the money somehow even if it means turning to Tamika for help.

Are collocations problems or solutions to problems? If you take the perspective of the foreign learner, as in traditional phraseology, they are certainly challenging, and they have therefore been categorized as arbitrary, or even defective, deviations from an assumed norm of full compositionality. This is a paradox because their ubiquity in language and their importance for language proficiency are undisputed. The book provides a critical review of the traditional phraseological approach to collocations with its classical categories and its roots in structural and generative linguistics as well as traditional Russian phraseology. Instead, it proposes a theory of collocations as an independent functional domain, no longer characterized as “odd comings-together of words” that are neither fully compositional nor fully idiomatic. It fills a research gap and should appeal to phraseologists and cognitive linguists as well as psycholinguists, neurolinguists, corpus linguists, PhD-students and other advanced students of linguistics who are interested in exploring collocations as a language resource and may be interested in contributing to it.

It’s time for a new beginning As we transition through very uncertain and challenging times, we have a chance to start again—and do better as a Collective. With newfound acknowledgment of the damage done by structural inequities, systemic racism, and implicit bias, we are ready to create communities that value and support everyone. In education, that means challenging and dismantling systems that have harmed historically marginalized children and families for generations. Here you’ll find a powerful model for using relational trust, cultural humility, and appreciation of diverse perspectives to build learning communities that collectively uplift all students and all members of the learning community. Features include An original Collective Equity Framework for creating transformative equitable learning environments Protocols for enacting cultural humility, vulnerability, and mutuality dispositions leveraged to create culturally sustaining learning communities Strategies and tools for organizational analyses to guide conversations that support the implementation of culturally fortifying practices at organizational, curricular, programmatic, and instructional levels A behavioral-outcome measurement tool for charting the progress of the members of the Collective towards developing culturally conscious actions and equity focused outcomes. Vignettes and case studies from district and school leaders reflecting examples of how the collective members of their organizations work towards creating transformative equitable learning environments Positive outcomes always take work. When we build relational trust, value and validate the dimensions of identities for all members in the learning community as a Collective, we are able to create Equity Pathways and Equity Pavers to chart a new course where we can ALL Breathe and achieve our shared objective: educational equity for all.

This book addresses age-based persecution of children as a crime against humanity in connection with genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes (persecution - with some variation in the elements of the crime - is an existing offence under the Rome Statute of the permanent International Criminal Court, the statutes of various international criminal tribunals i.e. International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and under the statutes of other international criminal courts (i.e. the Special Court of Sierra Leone)). The book introduces a completely original concept in international criminal law, however, in discussing age-based persecution of children as an international crime against humanity where (i) the particular discrete child collective is targeted ‘as such’ for international atrocity crimes or (ii) individual children are targeted based on their age-based group identity as it intersects with other perpetrator – targeted characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, religion etc.

On the basis of a reconstruction of legal theory in the tradition of Marx – a current that has been more or less silenced since the end of the 1970s – Subjectivation and Cohesion develops a critical counter-pole to the theories of law that predominate in social theory today. To this end, the works of Franz Neumann, Otto Kirchheimer, Evgeny Pashukanis, Oskar Negt, Isaac D. Balbus, the so-called ''State-derivation School'', Antonio Gramsci, Nicos Poulantzas and Michel Foucault are first analysed for their strengths and weaknesses, and then combined to form a new construction: a materialist legal theory that is up to date and can avoid the shortcomings of existing theories – above all their disregard for gender relations and the reductive consequences of functionalist, economic or politicist approaches to law. This book was originally published in German as Subjektivierung und Kohäsion. Zur Rekonstruktion einer materialistischen Theorie des Rechts, by Velbrück Wissenschaft, 2007, ISBN 978-3-938808-29-0.

A lamp lit a room on a night of a kind. A tree has fallen, now there is a hut.' Sonja Donner?s artist?s book is a pocket companion inviting people to gather around it, much like a table or a meal might. It traces the artist?s search for a dwelling as a space, as a community and as a mental state in places and things as she visits, befriends and spends time with them. Donner?s works find their realisation where people assemble to listen to each other and share the experience of being in the world together. The book forms a carry-on archive recorded in photographic notes and short literature including an essay on avian architecture by curator Elina Suoyrjö

This collection of Sonja Brentjes''s articles deals with travels, encounters and the exchange of knowledge in the Mediterranean and Western Asia during the 16th and 17th centuries, focusing on three historiographical concerns. The first is how we should understand the relationship between Christian and Muslim societies, in the period between the translations from Arabic into Latin (10th - 13th centuries) and before the Napoleonic invasion of Ottoman Egypt (1798). The second concern is the "Western" discourse about the decline or even disappearance of the sciences in late medieval and early modern Islamic societies and, third, the construction of Western Asian natures and cultures in Catholic and Protestant books, maps and pictures. The articles discuss institutional and personal relationships, describe how Catholic or Protestant travellers learned about and accessed Muslim scholarly literature, and uncover contradictory modes of reporting, evaluating or eradicating the visited cultures and their knowledge.

Listen—and Respond—Like Mary at the Annunciation. Mary has been called the “mother of listening.” She didn’t just hear the Word; she pondered it in light of her own relationships and circumstances and then let it transform her. Sonja Corbitt is a best-selling catholic author and one of the most dynamic and compelling new voices in the Church today. After years of Bible study, she recognized that the “mother of listening” was providing a model of prayer that has the power to revolutionize your life of prayer. Starting with Mary’s response to the Annunciation, Sonja Corbitt will show you how to pray with Scripture under the guidance of the Blessed Mother. You will learn a powerful practice for daily prayer as Mary models it: L–isten, O–bserve, V–erbalize, E–ntrust. Sonja Corbitt draws from vivid biblical texts to show you the key to loving Scripture and deepening your relationship with God. In How to Pray Like Mary by Sonja Corbitt, you will... Develop a daily habit of life-changing prayer. Learn how to tell the difference between God''s voice and your own thoughts in prayer. Understand Mary as the mother of the Church and a model for individual Christians … and why this is so important. Rediscover the power in the early Church’s method of Scripture-based prayer.

Find peace and direction every day as you turn to God’s Word and discover him working in your heart and your life. Most importantly: You will know how to respond to God when you do hear him, just like the Blessed Mother!

In late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Korea, public health priorities in maternal and infant welfare privileged the new nation’s reproductive health and women’s responsibility for care work to produce novel organization of services in hospitals and practices in the home. The first monograph on this topic, Imperatives of Care places women and gender at the center of modern medical transformations in Korea. It outlines the professionalization of medicine, nursing, and midwifery, tracing their evolution from new legal and institutional infrastructures in public health and education, and investigates women’s experiences as health practitioners and patients, medical activities directed at women’s bodies, and the related knowledge and goods produced for and consumed by women. Sonja M. Kim draws on archival sources, some not previously explored, to foreground the ways individual women met challenges posed by uneven developments in medicine, intervened in practices aimed at them, andseized the evolving options that became available to promote their personal, familial, and professional interests. She demonstrates how medicine produced, and in turn was produced by, gendered expectations caught between the Korean reformist agenda, the American Protestant missionary enterprise, and Japanese imperialism.

"A deep . . . dive into urban society''s need for--and relationship with--trees that sought to return the natural world to the concrete jungle."--Adrian Higgins, Washington Post Winner of the Foundation for Landscape Studies'' 2019 John Brinckerhoff Jackson Prize Today, cities around the globe are planting street trees to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, as landscape historian Sonja Dümpelmann explains, the planting of street trees in cities to serve specific functions is not a new phenomenon. In her eye-opening work, Dümpelmann shows how New York City and Berlin began systematically planting trees to improve the urban climate during the nineteenth century, presenting the history of the practice within its larger social, cultural, and political contexts. A unique integration of empirical research and theory, Dümpelmann''s richly illustrated work uncovers this important untold story. Street trees--variously regarded as sanitizers, nuisances, upholders of virtue, economic engines, and more--reflect the changing relationship between humans and nonhuman nature in urban environments. Offering valuable insights and frameworks, this authoritative volume will be an important resource for years to come.

Although demographically a minority in Kerala, India, Syrian Christians are not a subordinated community. They are caste-, race-, and class-privileged, and have long benefitted, both economically and socially, from their privileged position. Focusing on Syrian Christian women, Sonja Thomas explores how this community illuminates larger questions of multiple oppressions, privilege and subordination, racialization, and religion and secularism in India. In Privileged Minorities, Thomas examines a wide range of sources, including oral histories, ethnographic interviews, and legislative assembly debates, to interrogate the relationships between religious rights and women’s rights in Kerala. Using an intersectional approach, and US women of color feminist theory, she demonstrates the ways that race, caste, gender, religion, and politics are inextricably intertwined, with power and privilege working in complex and nuanced ways. By attending to the ways in which inequalities within groups shape very different experiences of religious and political movements in feminist and rights-based activism, Thomas lays the groundwork for imagining new feminist solidarities across religions, castes, races, and classes.

This book takes an intimate, collaborative, interdisciplinary autoethnographic approach that both emphasizes the authors’ entangled relationships with the more-than-human, and understands the land and sea-scapes of Newfoundland as integral to their thinking, theorizing, and writing. The authors draw on feminist, trans, queer, critical race, Indigenous, decolonial, and posthuman theories in order to examine the relationships between origins, memories, place, identities, bodies, pasts, and futures. The chapters address a range of concerns, among them love, memory, weather, bodies, vulnerability, fog, myth, ice, desire, hauntings, and home. Autoethnography and Feminist Theory at the Water’s Edge will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including gender studies, cultural geography, folklore, and anthropology, as well as those working in autoethnography, life writing, and island studies.

This book addresses the intersection of various domains of international law (refugee law, human rights law including child rights international law and humanitarian law) in terms of the implications for State obligations to child refugee asylum seekers in particular; both as collectives and as individual persons. How these State obligations have been interpreted and translated into practice in different jurisdictions is explored through selected problematic significant cases. Further, various threats to refugee children realizing their asylum rights, including refoulement of these children through State extraterritorial and pushback migration control strategies, are highlighted through selected case law. The argument is made that child refugee asylum seekers must not be considered, in theory or in practice, beyond the protection of the law if the international rule of law grounded on respect for human dignity and human rights is in fact to prevail.

This is a collection of writings (poems or observations) written by me over the span of seventeen years. This is a book about forgiveness and the ability to move forward, forgiving oneself for not saying the words to loved ones while they are still here in the land of the living.

In 1992, at the end of a twelve-year civil war, El Salvador was poised for a transition to democracy. Yet, after longstanding dominance by a small oligarchy that continually used violence to repress popular resistance, El Salvador’s democracy has proven to be a fragile one, as social ills (poverty chief among them) have given rise to neighborhoods where gang activity now thrives. Mano Dura examines the ways in which the ruling ARENA party used gang violence to solidify political power in the hands of the elite—culminating in draconian “iron fist” antigang policies that undermine human rights while ultimately doing little to address the roots of gang membership. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and policy analysis, Mano Dura examines the activities of three nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that have advocated for more nuanced policies to eradicate gangs and the societal issues that are both a cause and an effect of gang proliferation. While other studies of street gangs have focused on relatively distant countries such as Colombia, Argentina, and Jamaica, Sonja Wolf’s research takes us to a country closer to the United States, where forced deportation has brought with it US gang culture. Charting the limited success of NGOs in influencing El Salvador’s security policies, the book brings to light key contextual aspects—including myopic media coverage and the ironic populist support for ARENA, despite the party’s protection of the elite at the expense of the greater society.

Counting Down Jazzy is a book about subtraction. Jazzy is a brown and white dog. She eats one of ten cupcakes to make nine. She eats one apple from nine to make eight. She continues to take away one until finally, she is down to one cat. What will she do with the Cat? Counting Down Jazzy is a wonderful way to teach how to count or to count backward. The repetitive and rhyming scheme builds confidence in early readers. Beautiful photos converted to lifelike illustrations accompany the rhyming text

God promises to always guide and protect his followers, and he also promised that through the power of the Holy Spirit, some of these disciples would serve him by taking his message of salvation to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). In Safely Led to Serve, authors Ian and Sonja Southwell share their compelling journey as they join the active ranks of The Salvation Army as officers and allow God to use them as his messengers and servants. Not only a chronicle of the highlights of their ministry—a ministry that has taken them from life in Australia to serving God around the world—their experiences help answer a number of central questions for the Christian walk: • How does God call people into service for himself? • To what extent is God faithful to his promises to his followers? • What is expected of a servant of God? • How can Christian parents and grandparents have positive influences on their family members? • What are the advantages and disadvantages of being involved in an internationally networked branch of the Christian church? • What advice for life could come from a couple of committed Christians approaching 50 years of marriage? From Zambia to the Philippines and back to Australia—and then to Korea, China, and some 19 other countries—join Ian and Sonja as they demonstrate what it takes and what it means to dedicate a life to God’s ministry and to be energized by his faithful promises of protection and guidance.

Wrilab2'', an "On-line reading and writing laboratory for Czech, German, Italian and Slovenian as L2" intends to cover a gap in the training provisions devoted to functional writing in Czech, German, Italian and Slovenian as L2. The current volume addresses the needs of university and secondary school teachers and aims at offering them both the state of the art of current research related to important issues in the field of teaching and learning L2 writing and a practical guideline to the four language sections of the Wrilab2 portal.

I Sonja Haubergs psykologiske roman "April" forsøger en kvinde forgæves at give slip på mindet om den afdøde modstandsmand, hun engang elskede. Stilen er eksperimenterende, og som i flere af Sonja Haubergs tidligere romaner handler den om skuffede kærlighedsforventninger og en kvindes splittelse mellem to mænd. Den danske forfatter Sonja Hauberg (1918-1947) debuterede i 1942 med romanen "Hvad vil du mig". Året efter udgav hun "Syv år for Lea", som hun fik tildelt Politikens kunstnerpris for. Sonja Hauberg skrev både digte, romaner og noveller og bevægede sig overvejende inden for genren realisme.

Madame Necker occupies a unique position in French social and cultural history. This study breaks new ground by examining the profoundly corporeal nature of Madame Necker’s life – her debilitating, decades-long psychic and somatic suffering and subsequent curious death.

The book is the result of joint work and many years of mutual cooperation between researchers from Slovenia and Croatia. It was made as part of the transboundary project ŽIVO! Življenje – voda! (Life – Water!) (IPA CBC SI-HR 2007-2013), which involved the participation of authors from project partner institutions as well as invited authors who are famil­iar with the characteristics of the karst area of Northern Istria and the conditions there relating to drinking water supply. The monograph presents the natural features of Northern Istria, the karst and karst phenomena, karst hy­drogeology, ecology and microbiology, and highlights in particular the vulnerability of the karst to various human activities. The main focus of attention is on karst water sources. In assessing their characteristics we used available knowledge of karst water on both sides of the border and supplemented it with new research on the transboundary area in question, which was based on field measurements and sampling, and chemical, microbiological and biologi­cal analysis of water. The collected findings form the basis for planning more effective monitoring of the quality of karst water sources, their protection and consequently the improvement of their quality. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Knjiga je rezultat skupnega dela in dolgoletnega medsebojnega sodelovanja raziskovalcev iz Slovenije in Hrvaške. Nastala je v sklopu čezmejnega projekta ŽIVO! Življenje – voda! (IPA CBC SI-HR 2007-2013), kjer so sodelovali tako avtorji iz inštitucij projektnih partnerjev kot vabljeni avtorji, ki poznajo značilnosti kraškega območja severne Istre in tamkajšnje razmere pri oskrbi s pitno vodo. V monografiji so predstavljene naravne danosti severne Istre, kras in kraški pojavi, kraška hidrogeologija, ekologija in mikrobiologija, posebej pa je izpostavljena ranljivost krasa na različne človekove dejavnosti. Glavna pozornost je posvečena kraškim vodnim virom. Pri oceni njihovih značilnosti smo uporabili razpoložljiva spoznanja o kraških vodah z obeh strani meje in jih dopolnili z novimi raziskavami obravnavanega čezmejnega prostora, ki so temeljile na terenskih meritvah in vzorčenju ter kemijskih, mikrobioloških in bioloških analizah vode. Zbrani izsledki so osnova za načrtovanje bolj učinkovite zaščite vodnih virov in posledično za izboljšanje njihove kakovosti.

Posthumously inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2007, Richard Durham creatively chronicled and brought to life the significant events of his times. Durham''s trademark narrative style engaged listeners with fascinating characters, compelling details, and sharp images of pivotal moments in American and African American history and culture. In Word Warrior, award-winning radio producer Sonja D. Williams draws on archives and hard-to-access family records, as well as interviews with family and colleagues like Studs Terkel and Toni Morrison, to illuminate Durham''s astounding career. Durham paved the way for black journalists as a dramatist and a star investigative reporter and editor for the pioneering black newspapers the Chicago Defender and Muhammed Speaks. Talented and versatile, he also created the acclaimed radio series Destination Freedom and Here Comes Tomorrow and wrote for popular radio fare like The Lone Ranger. Incredibly, his energies extended still further--to community and labor organizing, advising Chicago mayoral hopeful Harold Washington, and mentoring generations of activists. Incisive and in-depth, Word Warrior tells the story of a tireless champion of African American freedom, equality, and justice during an epoch that forever changed a nation.

Speaking the Unspeakable in Postwar Germany is an interdisciplinary study of a diverse set of public speeches given by major literary and cultural figures in the 1950s and 1960s. Through close readings of canonical speeches by Hannah Arendt, Theodor W. Adorno, Ingeborg Bachmann, Martin Buber, Paul Celan, Uwe Johnson, Peter Szondi, and Peter Weiss, Sonja Boos demonstrates that these speakers both facilitated and subverted the construction of a public discourse about the Holocaust in postwar West Germany. The author''s analysis of original audio recordings of the speech events (several of which will be available on a companion website) improves our understanding of the spoken, performative dimension of public speeches.While emphasizing the social constructedness of discourse, experience, and identity, Boos does not neglect the pragmatic conditions of aesthetic and intellectual production—most notably, the felt need to respond to the breach in tradition caused by the Holocaust. The book thereby illuminates the process by which a set of writers and intellectuals, instead of trying to mend what they perceived as a radical break in historical continuity or corroborating the myth of a "new beginning," searched for ways to make this historical rupture rhetorically and semantically discernible and literally audible.
