NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A commitment-phobe and a hopeless romantic clash over and over again—until heartbreak and unexpected chemistry bring them together in this “funny, warm, and quite addictive” (The New Yorker) enemies-to-friends-to-lovers debut romance. “Fresh, witty, and utterly romantic.”—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis Can they stop hating each other long enough to fall in love? When Ari and Josh first meet, the wrong kind of sparks fly. They hate each other. Instantly. A free-spirited, struggling comedian who likes to keep things casual, Ari sublets, takes gigs, and she never sleeps over after hooking up. Born-and-bred Manhattanite Josh has ambitious plans: Take the culinary world by storm, find The One, and make her breakfast in his spotless kitchen. They have absolutely nothing in common . . . except that they happen to be sleeping with the same woman. Ari and Josh never expect their paths to cross again. But years later, as they’re both reeling from ego-bruising breakups, a chance encounter leads to a surprising connection: friendship. Turns out, spending time with your former nemesis is fun when you’re too sad to hate each other—and too sad for hate sex. As friends-without-benefits, they find comfort in late-night Netflix binges, swiping through each other’s online dating profiles, and bickering across boroughs. It’s better than romance. Until one night, the unspoken boundaries of their platonic relationship begin to blur. . . . With sharp observations and sizzling chemistry, You, Again explores the dynamics of co-ed friendship in this sparkling romantic comedy of modern love in all its forms.
“A romcom-meets-magic delight!”—Sarah Adams, New York Times bestselling author of Practice Makes Perfect A young woman tries to heal her heartbreak by casting a spell to erase her ex from her past, but she wakes up in an alternate reality where she’s lost more than she wished for in this witty, whimsical friends-to-lovers debut. What if one little wish changed everything? When Gemma gets dumped by her long-term boyfriend, she reacts the way any reasonable twenty-eight-year-old would: by getting drunk with her sister, kooky aunt, and best friend, Dax. After one too many margaritas, they decide to perform a love- cleansing spell, which promises to erase Gemma’s ex from her memory. They follow all the instructions, including a platonic kiss from Dax to seal the deal. When Gemma wakes up, she realizes that this silly spell has worked. Not only does it seem that she never dated her ex, but the rest of her life is completely unrecognizable. The worst part: Dax has no idea who she is. To reverse the spell and get back to her old life, Gemma must convince her once-best-friend-now-near-stranger to kiss her. But as she carries out her plans, she finds herself falling for him—hard. Soon, Gemma begins to wonder whether she even wants to go back to the way things once were. What if Dax was The One all along?
Startlingly handsome, witty, fanatically loyal, charming, scary, and intensely sexual, Burt Lancaster was the quintessential bête du cinéma, one of Hollywood's great stars. He was, as well, an intensely private man, and he authorized no biographies in his lifetime. Kate Buford is the first writer to win the cooperation of Lancaster's widow, close friends, and colleagues, and her book is a revelation. Here is Lancaster the man, from his teenage years, bolting the Depression-era immigrant neighborhood of East Harlem where he grew up for the life of a circus acrobat -- then the electric New York theater of the 1930s, then the dying days of vaudeville. We see his production company -- Hecht-Hill-Lancaster -- become the biggest independent of the 1950s, a bridge between the studio era and modern filmmaking. With the power he derived from it we see him gain a remarkable degree of control, which he used to become the auteur of his own career. His navigation through the anti-Communist witch-hunts made him an example of a star who tweaked the noses of HUAC and survived. His greatest roles -- in Sweet Smell of Success, Elmer Gantry, Birdman of Alcatraz, The Swimmer, Atlantic City -- kept to the progressive edge that had originated in the tolerant, diverse, reforming principles of his childhood. And in the extraordinary complete roster of his films -- From Here to Eternity, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Judgment at Nuremberg, The Leopard, 1900, and Field of Dreams, among many others -- he proved to be both a master of commercial movies that pleased a worldwide audience and an actor who pushed himself beyond stardom into cinematic art. Kate Buford has written a dynamic biography of a passionate and committed star, the first full-scale study of one of the last great unexamined Hollywood lives.

In connection with the recent treatment of radium and the actinides, the Gmelin Institute is carrying out the description of thorium and its compounds. The supplement volumes A 2, A 3 and A 4 with the history, isotopes, uses, the recovery of thorium and general properties of thorium atom and ions, the thermodynamics of its compounds and solutions, and spectroscopic data have already been published. The supplement vol- umes C 1, C 2 and C 3 describing the compounds with the noble gases, hydrogen, oxygen compounds and nitrogen compounds are also available; also has been pu- blished Supplement Volume C 5 describing the compounds with sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and boron. The Supplement Volume D 1 and D 2 describing the properties of thorium ions in solution and the solvent extraction of thorium as well as Supplement Volume E de- scribing the coordination compounds also have been published. The present supplement volume A 5 of the Gmelin Handbook "Thorium" is devoted to the analytical chem- istry of this element, to its biological behavior and to health protection and safety control, including the monitoring of occupational exposure received by personnel. The analytical chemistry of thorium relies mainly on the so-called "classical" determination methods like gravimetric, volumetric, and spectrometric methods. Radiometric methods find also large application in the analytical chemistry of thorium. Presently we have a good understanding of the biological behavior of this danger- ous radioelement, together with a broad knowledge of its metabolism and its effects on humans. The therapeutic decorporation of thorium is also treated in this volume.
- De toute façon, je ne veux rien avoir à faire avec l'industrie de la romance. C'est une distraction qui rend les femmes dépendantes des hommes et les maintient en perpétuelle quête de validation, décrète Ari. - Vous êtes-vous forgé cette opinion sur la base de votre expérience personnelle ? répond Josh. Ou en vous fondant sur quelques lectures d'introduction aux études féminines ? - Vous êtes toujours aussi condescendant ? - Vous êtes toujours aussi naïve ? Quand Ari rencontre Josh pour la première fois, cela fait des étincelles. Ils se détestent. Instantanément. Ari fait du stand-up et ne dort jamais sur place après un coup d'un soir. Alors que Josh, qui a tout du gendre idéal, cherche la femme de ses rêves. Ils n'ont absolument rien en commun... sauf qu'ils couchent avec la même femme. Chaque fois qu'ils se recroisent, ils se promettent que ce sera la dernière. Mais des années plus tard, alors qu'ils sont tous deux sous le choc d'une rupture qui a brisé leur ego, une énième rencontre fortuite débouche sur un lien surprenant : l'amitié. C'est mieux qu'une histoire d'amour. Jusqu'à ce qu'un soir, les frontières tacites de leur relation platonique commencent à s'estomper... « Une histoire fraîche, pleine d'esprit et romantique à souhait ! » Ali Hazelwood « Cette relecture de Quand Harry rencontre Sally qui inverse les genres est destinée à tous ceux qui aiment les romances avec des personnages réalistes et imparfaits. » NPR « Une relecture de Quand Harry rencontre Sally qui raconte l'histoire de deux ennemis devenus amis, puis amants, au cours d'une décennie à New York. C'est un récit cru, adorable et hilarant. » USA Today « Le roman de Kate Goldbeck bouleverse les normes de genre et aborde la romance avec une franchise qui reflète les défis des relations amoureuses contemporaines. » Entertainment Weekly « Une romance narrée à la perfection ! Un premier roman spectaculaire ! » Christina Lauren « L'influence de Quand Harry rencontre Sally est évidente. Goldbeck ressuscite ce classique pour l'adapter à l'époque. Le résultat est plein d'esprit, d'émotion et profondément romantique. » Publishers Weekly « Si la couverture ne suffit pas à vous convaincre - une ambiance à la Quand Harry rencontre Sally aux couleurs de l'automne - alors peut-être que le pitch fera le reste... On ne doute pas instant que Nora Ephron elle-même approuverait. » Paste Magazine « You, Again est un coup de maître. Je serai la première sur les rangs pour les prochains livres de Kate Goldbeck. » Ava Wilder « Ce livre est cru et sexy. Ari et Josh me manquent déjà désespérément. » Rachel Lynn Solomon « Un hommage brillant à ce que la comédie romantique offre de mieux. » Alicia Thompson
