Danni takes in the beauty of the scenery and the warmth of the community…and she’s drawn to the local sheriff. Before Declan was an Alaskan State Trooper, he was in the Army. An IED explosion cost him his leg…and his fiancée, who couldn’t deal with the injury. He knows Danni’s a city girl, while he loves the Alaskan wilderness. Could two very different people find what their hearts are looking for?

La Concierge is a diary-like book of fictionalized, life-like figures, around whom revolve other individuals, permanent presences or passersby, engaged in their daily trivial, or not so trivial, activities. It somewhat reminds one of books written by the French author Françoise Sagan, who became an instant success with her triad Bonjour Tristesse, Un Certain Sourire and Aimez-vous Brahms, subtle character novels encompassing young girl diaries, experiences, night scenes of Sorbonne students, endless sequences of dance spots and nightclubs until the wee hours, love triangles and quadrangles. The book is a mini-version of Balzac’s or Saroyan’s Comedie Humaine and Human Comedy. It is a sort of candid camera of the heart and modern mores…(more similar to camcorder images). The collection of characters met as they come to pass around the Concierge desk, also reminiscent of XVIIth century’s La Bruyere's Caracteres (Characters). With parading personages from the most attractive and personable to the exquisitely obnoxious, the space around the Concierge desk is a living observation laboratory of psychological images and situations. In this multiplicity of scenarios, somehow similarly to La Bruyere’s work, the unifying thread is the master idea to expose the ridiculous and the false which in daily activities, despite their meaninglessness, arouse much passion and controversy.
She wants to be one of the world's first female doctors; romance is not in her plans. 1887: Too tall, too shy and too bookish for England, Lady Josephine moves to Holland to become one of the world's first female doctors. With only one semester left, she has all but completed her studies when a power–hungry professor, intent on marrying her for her political connections, threatens to prevent her graduation. Together with the other Bluestockings, female comrades–in–study, she comes up with a daring, if somewhat unorthodox plan: acquire a fake fiancé to provide the protection and serenity she needs to pass her final exams. But when her father sends her Lord Nicholas St. George, he is too much of everything: too handsome, too charming, too tall and too broad and too distracting for Josephine's peace of mind. She needed someone to keep her professor at bay, not keep her from her work with temptations of long walks, laughing, and languorous kisses. Just as it seems that Josephine might be able to have it all: a career as a pioneering female doctor and a true love match, everything falls apart and Josephine will find herself in danger of becoming a casualty in the battle between ambition and love.

New Update Edition. Lebanese cuisine is perhaps one of the most typical expressions of Middle Eastern cuisine, extremely varied and heavily influenced by the Arab-Muslim tradition. This is especially noticeable in the prevalence of the use of lamb meat, in the abundant use of dried fruit, especially almonds and pine nuts, and in the lemon juice-based condiments. Lebanese cuisine is a delight for nothing expensive. Using fresh, flavourful ingredients and refined spices, the Lebanese have acquired the best aspects of Turkish and Arab cuisines and given them a French twist. The soups are light, enriched with lentils and spiced with cinnamon. A typical dish is tabbouleh, a salad of parsley, tomatoes and burghul, with numerous variations, the taste definitely reminiscent of lemon. Stuffed vegetables such as courgettes, pumpkins, aubergines and chard with vegetarian fillings, meat and rice and meat and pine nuts are widespread. The "kabees", the Lebanese pickles, but also salads and lots of seasonal fruit are commonly found on the tables. In desserts, Lebanese cuisine provides for almost "professional" preparations that make it almost impossible to prepare desserts at home, which are ten consumed outside the home in front of coffee. Domestic desserts include "mamool" and "kak el-eed", a sort of biscuit with a hole.
Fully updated, the second edition of Neuropsychology of Art offers a fascinating exploration of the brain regions and neuronal systems which support artistic creativity, talent and appreciation. This landmark book is the first to draw upon neurological, evolutionary, and cognitive perspectives, and to provide an extensive compilation of neurological case studies of professional painters, composers and musicians. The book presents evidence from the latest brain research, and develops a multidisciplinary approach, drawing upon theories of brain evolution, biology of art, art trends, archaeology, and anthropology. It considers the consequences of brain damage to the creation of art and the brain’s control of art. The author delves into a variety of neurological conditions in established artists, including unilateral stroke, dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and also evidence from savants with autism. Written by a leading neuropsychologist, Neuropsychology of Art will be of great interest to students and researchers in neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and neurology, and also to clinicians in art therapy.
This is what it looks like when a brilliant high concept is executed to perfection. It’s got all the Dahlia Adler trademarks—romance, wry humor, specificity, and genuine emotional depth." - Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Kate in Waiting and Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda A queer Sliding Doors YA rom-com in which a girl must choose between summer in NYC with her dad (and the girl she's always wanted) or LA with her estranged mom (and the guy she never saw coming). In Dahlia Adler’s Going Bicoastal, there’s more than one path to happily ever after. Natalya Fox has twenty-four hours to make the biggest choice of her life: stay home in NYC for the summer with her dad (and finally screw up the courage to talk to the girl she's been crushing on), or spend it with her basically estranged mom in LA (knowing this is the best chance she has to fix their relationship, if she even wants to.) (Does she want to?) How's a girl supposed to choose? She can't, and so both summers play out in alternating timelines - one in which Natalya explores the city, tries to repair things with her mom, works on figuring out her future, and goes for the girl she's always wanted. And one in which Natalya explores the city, tries to repair things with her mom, works on figuring out her future, and goes for the guy she never saw coming.

As a new year rounds the corner, Dahlia Sen Oberoi, a hotshot lawyer whose life revolves around court appearances, client meetings and trotting around the globe, finds herself yearning for something more. With a lifelong passion for fitness, Yoga was something that she had dabbled in as an amateur enthusiast. And when she discovers a Yoga teacher's training course offered by an ashram, she forces herself to face the question: If not now, when? And so she sets off on her quest to move away from her uncompromising life as a lawyer and find some calm. Living sans her precious laptop, attending lectures on the Gita, learning and perfecting new asanas, and spending her days washing bartans and cleaning dormitories, is at first a struggle. But gradually, her self-doubt and restlessness wash away. Emotions are kept in rein, arrogance gives way to acceptance, and as Dahlia gets used to this new existence, she rediscovers herself in surprisingly new ways. At once profound and humorous, this delightfully candid account of her 30-day-long transformational sojourn will take readers on a joyous and emotionally rich journey. Ashramed is sprinkled with laughter and wisdom, and the assurance that in life, there are no timestamps, that it is always a good idea to take chances and embark on a journey of self-transformation, and most importantly, that it is never too late to do what you love.
