This young adult romantic comedy is a sharp, hilarious, and perfectly observed story of high school geeks falling in true love. Seventeen-year-old Sam Kinnison is a dork, and he's totally fine with that. He has his horror movies, his nerdy friends, and World of Warcraft. Sam believes that everything he needs to know can be learned from watching movies. Until Princess Leia turns up in his bedroom, Sam just isn't concerned about girls. Then Camilla Carter arrives on the scene. She's beautiful, friendly and completely not on his radar. Sam is determined to ignore Camilla, except that she has a plan of her own—and Sam seems to be a part of it! Author Melissa Keil will have readers head over heels with these relatable characters. Sam's exceptional voice gives a hilarious and painfully accurate take on high school life.

The Secret Science of Magic

By: Melissa Keil

Seventeen-year-old Sophia is a math genius, so surely she'll be on easy street after graduation. Except she's just learned child prodigies become either smash hits or total meltdowns after high school. Now with her BFF sending off college applications, Sophia's feeling the pressure to lock down her own future before she's left in the dust. But when mysterious playing cards keep turning up inside her textbooks, she's really thrown off course. Joshua is Sophia's classmate: adorkable, charmingly carefree, and an amateur magician. He's crushed on Sophia for as long as he can remember. With a ton of romantic gestures up his sleeve, Joshua thinks now is the perfect time to tell Sophia how he feels. He doesn't know how very wrong he is. Told in a dual narrative, this opposites-attract, young adult rom-com offers plenty of laughs as Joshua stumbles again and again to impress the most skeptical audience that magic has ever met: Sophia. But if Joshua truly cares for her, first he'll have to work on his timing and meet Sophia halfway. It'll take a scientific feat of magic to dazzle and bewilder the smartest girl at school.

The Incredible Adventures of Cinnamon Girl

By: Melissa Keil

In this young adult rom-com, seventeen-year-old Alba loves routine and doesn't want anything to change, but her world is turned upside down when a conspiracy theorist claims the apocalypse will take place in her small town. Alba wants to stop time and keep things just the way they are. She loves living behind the bakery and waking up in a cloud of sugar and cinnamon, and thrives when she's drawing comics and watching bad TV with her friends. The only problem is she's spent so much time looking inward that she hasn't noticed everything going on around her. Like the boy who has been her longtime BFF going off the rails after the sudden reappearance of Alba's old flame. As doomsday enthusiasts flock to idyllic Eden Valley, Alba's life is thrown into chaos. And it might take an alleged Armageddon for Alba to finally figure out her heart. Full of Keil's trademark quirky characters and witty dialogue, readers will be hooked by Alba's romantic dilemma and the hilarious plot that links the end of high school with the end of the world.

Contemporary Art and Digital Culture

By: Melissa Gronlund

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Contemporary Art and Digital Culture

By: Melissa Gronlund

Contemporary Art and Digital Culture analyses the impact of the internet and digital technologies upon art today. Art over the last fifteen years has been deeply inflected by the rise of the internet as a mass cultural and socio-political medium, while also responding to urgent economic and political events, from the financial crisis of 2008 to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. This book looks at how contemporary art addresses digitality, circulation, privacy, and globalisation, and suggests how feminism and gender binaries have been shifted by new mediations of identity. It situates current artistic practice both in canonical art history and in technological predecessors such as cybernetics and net.art, and takes stock of how the art-world infrastructure has reacted to the internet’s promises of democratisation. An invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of contemporary art – especially those studying history of art and art practice and theory – as well as those working in film, media, curation, or art education. Melissa Gronlund is a writer and lecturer on contemporary art, specialising in the moving image. From 2007–2015, she was co-editor of the journal Afterall, and her writing has appeared there and in Artforum, e-flux journal, frieze, the NewYorker.com, and many other places.

Non-Performing Loans, Non-Performing People

Life and Struggle with Mortgage Debt in Spain

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Non-Performing Loans, Non-Performing People

Life and Struggle with Mortgage Debt in Spain

By: Melissa García-Lamarca

Non-Performing Loans, Non-Performing People tells the previously untold stories of those living with mortgage debt in times of precarity and explores how individualized indebtedness can unite resistance in the struggle toward housing justice. The book builds on several years of Melissa García-Lamarca’s engagement with activist research in Barcelona’s housing movement, in particular with its most prominent collective, the Platform for Mortgage-Affected People (PAH). What García-Lamarca learned from fellow activists and the movement in Barcelona pushed her to rethink how lived experiences of indebtedness connect to larger political- economic processes related to housing and debt. The book is also inspired by feminist scholars who integrate the lens of everyday life into explorations of contemporary political economy and by anthropologists who connect macroprocesses to lived experience. Distinctive in how it integrates a racialized, gendered, and decolonial perspective, García-Lamarca’s research of mortgaged lives in precarious times explores two principal phenomena: first, how financial speculation is experienced in the day-to-day and differentially embedded in the dynamics of (urban) capital accumulation, and second, how collective action can unleash the liberating possibility of indebtedness.

Policing in the Pacific Islands

By: Danielle Watson,Loene Howes,Sinclair Dinnen,Melissa Bull,Sara N. Amin

This open access book brings together insights into Pacific policing, conceptualising policing broadly as order maintenance involving the actions of multiple local, regional and international actors with sometimes competing and conflicting agendas. A complex and multifaceted endeavour, scholarship on this topic is relatively scarce and widely dispersed across diverse sources. It examines how Pacific policing is shaped by changing state-society relations in different national contexts and ongoing processes of globalisation. Particular attention is given to the plural character of Pacific policing, profound challenges of gender equity, changing dynamics of crime, and the prominence of transnational policing in resource and capacity constrained domestic environments. The authors draw on examples from across the Pacific islands to provide a nuanced and contextualised account of policing in this socially diverse and rapidly transforming region.

Better Is Not So Far Away

By: Melissa Groman

From hurting to healing . . . resistance torecovery . . . struggle to strength . . . This can be your story When your parents, friends, or partner tell you what you should or should not do to "get better," do you think, "They just don't get it"? Melissa Groman gets it. As a therapist, she has spent twenty-five years helping young women who binge, starve, and physically harm themselves to heal and recover. In Better Is Not So Far Away, she combines her experience, wisdom, and compassion to help you see beyond your behavior, discover who you really are, and decide to change your life. You might know that obsession, disordered eating, and self-harm won't ultimately make you feel better--but you haven't been able to stop. Bridging the gap between what you feel and what you do, Groman explores raw emotional pain with a deep knowledge of the human psyche, including stories of those who have suffered, faced, and conquered self-destructive urges. "A life well-lived means more than just a lessening of symptoms," Groman writes. "It means a true shift in how you think and how you tend to your own feelings and thefeelings of others." Dealing with family, friendships, emotions, and life itself--as well as food and body issues--can be complex and can get in the way of even wanting to recover. When you clear away some of the emotional obstacles, it's easier to take practical steps to genuine reliefand healing. This book will help you do just that. It can be the first or next right step toward facing yourgreatest hurts and challenges in a practical, profoundly honest, and self-caring way. A healthy, happy lifemay seem impossible now--but, truly, it is not so far away.
