Hell Camp

How to Chew on a Crazy Childhood and Avoid Choking

By: Niki Smart

Hell Camp" is one helluva ride. A fast-paced, slap-you-in-the-face journey through a bizarre childhood with a crazy mother. A mother who will stop at nothing to get what she wants; a mother who crashes cars, beats up the maid, extinguishes cigarettes on her arms, sleeps with the neighborhood, runs away from home for months at a time and eventually "kidnaps" a toddler. "Hell Camp" is laugh-out loud funny and heartbreakingly sad - a tragicomedy of momentous proportions. A story of love, determination, betrayal, violence, sex, abuse and utter madness - you won't be able to put this book down.

The House by the Liffey

By: Niki Phillips

“It’s the first time ever that your mother and I have actually felt deeply ashamed of one of our children. We completely fail to comprehend how you could treat anybody like that.” The Butlers are back, as Niki Phillips’s second novel about the family takes up their story in the 1960s and we encounter Milo Butler once more. Father of a growing family, he is now his generation’s custodian of Riverside House. The story opens with a kidnapping and family members later become involved in the terrorist attacks in Dublin in the seventies, the invasion of Cyprus in 1974 and the Falklands War in 1982. Niki Phillips delivers another page-turner in which excitement, drama and tragedy stalk the lives of family members. But love and success are there too, with a lacing of humour through the rich tapestry of the story. “The lives of this engaging family are set against a back drop of well researched recent history . . . contrasting the personal with the political sweep of the times. An absorbing modern day saga.” Chris Bridger, Book Reviewer “A broad and interesting story, loads of great characters . . . It is a warming story, where all can return home to the safety of the hearth at Riverside.” Paul Wheatley, Writer

Sporadic Rays of Light Through the Thicket

By: Niki Nicholas Nkuna

The poems in this book capture the poets inclination to talk matters of decorum in all chance encounters. He resents misdemeanor of any kind. Writing poetry presents him with the opportunity to discredit misdemeanor and get satisfaction due to dearth of debate. Through poetry and other writings, hes tirelessly endeavoring to highlight and discredit misdemeanor and proffer valuable ideas about a variety of issues that affect people in general. Theres also an obvious sense and trace of spiritual conviction in the sporadic rays through the thicket of life. This poetry collection would obviously serve as a motivating tool to the reader. It contains valuable lessons about life, mostly about the dos and donts, what is right or wrong, the beauty and ugliness of life, in things and people. Conspicuous by title are poems like, Change, which talks about the inevitability of change, and Only God Knows, which tells you not to agonise about tomorrow, rather worry about the now (God will take care of tomorrow, for Hes the only one that knows what tomorrow holds for us and what will happen). After All Thats What She Would Want from Me is a poem of encouragement to help people overcome grief about a loved one who has passed on. The rays are plenty in this book. Use them to illuminate your way through the thicket of life.

The Infinite Game

How to Live Well Together

By: Niki Harré

Whether we are competing for a job, building a business or championing a good cause, some days it can feel as if we are trapped in an endless competition for status, wealth or attention. Maybe if we learn to play the game and follow the rules we'll come out on top. But is life really a finite game – a game of selection and rules, winners and losers, players and spectators? In The Infinite Game, Niki Harré asks us to imagine our world anew. What if we are all part of a different type of game entirely – a game in which playing matters more than winning, a game that anyone can join at any time, a game in which rules evolve as new players turn up – an infinite game? Harré looks at our society (are people pawns or participants?) and ourselves (what kind of player would you like to be?) to offer an inspiring vision of how we might live well together. Deeply informed by psychological research and a life of social activism, Niki Harré's provocative book teaches us all how we might live life as an infinite game.

The Road towards Carbon Neutrality in the different Nordic Countries

By: Pedersen, Jakob Louis,Bey, Niki,Friis Gerholt, Sebastian,Rohde, Rasmus

Available online: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:norden:org:diva-6010 “The aim of the Nordic countries is to be carbon neutral and to demonstrate leadership in the fight against global warming.” These were the words of the Nordic prime ministers in their declaration at a summit in Helsinki as part of active Nordic climate co-operation under the auspices of the Nordic Council of Ministers. Each of the five Nordic countries has national goals for becoming carbon neutral before or by mid-century. In the Helsinki Declaration the Nordics committed themselves to assess the scenarios for how the different Nordic countries can achieve their respective carbon neutrality goals, including implications for various sectors. The aim of this study is to contribute to making this assessment possible and to highlight areas where co-Nordic initiatives can strengthen the Nordic countries’ aims towards carbon neutrality.

From Stressed Out to Stress Wise

How You and Your Students Can Navigate Challenges and Nurture Vitality

By: Abby Wills,Anjali Deva,Niki Saccareccia

Tight deadlines, high expectations, friction with peers, family drama: With all these stressors on middle and high school students and few healthy outlets for releasing them, it's no wonder they have trouble concentrating on schoolwork. But what if you could teach students long-standing, field-proven ways to successfully navigate stress? In this practical, step-by-step guide, authors Abby Wills, Anjali Deva, and Niki Saccareccia show you how to do just that by following their stress-wise framework—a model that all secondary-level educators can use to help both themselves and their students build their "stress IQ," or become better able to accept stress as an aspect of well-being and modulate their reaction to it. Informed by the science of stress and resilience, the practices of yoga and Ayurveda, and the authors' own decades of work with students and teachers, this book offers * Scripts, strategies, and activities for developing students' vitality in the face of stress and encouraging them to make choices that serve the class's collective well-being rather than relying on short-term coping solutions. * A flexible, easy-to-implement system of learning cycles and phases to follow over weeks and months for optimal effectiveness. * Comprehensive background information on the physiology and psychology of stress. * Real-life examples of the stress-wise framework in action. Learning in school is challenging enough without the exhaustion, anxiety, and distraction of stress added to it. From Stressed Out to Stress Wise includes everything you need to ensure that your students have the necessary skills, resources, and mindset to calmly and confidently thrive in the classroom and beyond.

Bernice Buttman, Model Citizen

By: Niki Lenz

Bernice Buttman is tough, crass, and hilarious, and she just might teach you a thing or two about empathy in this novel for fans of The Great Gilly Hopkins. When you're a Buttman, the label "bully" comes with the territory, and Bernice lives up to her name. But life as a bully is lonely, and if there's one thing Bernice really wants (even more than becoming a Hollywood stuntwoman), it's a true friend. After her mom skedaddles and leaves her in a new town with her aunt (who is also a real live nun), Bernice decides to mend her ways and become a model citizen. If her plan works, she just might be able to get herself to Hollywood Hills Stunt Camp! But it's hard to be kind when no one shows you kindness, so a few cheesy pranks may still be up her sleeve. . . . Get ready to laugh out loud--and maybe even shed a tear--with this fantastic new middle-grade voice!

Supersizing Science

On Building Large-Scale Research Projects in Biology

By: Niki Vermeulen

In recent years there has been a clear rise in scientific collaboration, as well as in studies on the subject. While most scholars examine disciplines traditionally known to be collaborative, such as physics and space research, this book focuses on biology. It investigates the growing collaboration in the life sciences, or the emergence of what is called 'big biology'. While the Human Genome Project is often presented as the first large-scale research project in biology, cooperation in the life sciences has a longer history. A comparison between centralised 'big physics' and 'big biology' reveals how the latter has a networked structure, which evolved in interaction with the integration of information and communication technologies. By concentrating on the construction of these networks, three contemporary large-scale research collaborations are analysed: the Census of Marine Life that aims to make an inventory of life in the oceans, the Silicon Cell initiative that wants to design a replica of a cell in a computer, and the VIRGO consortium, which investigates host-virus interaction to develop a new therapy against influenza. This book demonstrates how the process of making science bigger, or the 'supersizing of science', transforms the ways in which science is organised while it also changes the work of scientists involved. As such, this has both scholarly and professional implications for the next generation of scientists.

Losing Faith

Faith Brooks Series Book 1

By: Niki Hershey Knisley

Faith Brooks is a typical teenaged pastor’s kid, until she does the unthinkable and moves in with Gabe, an edgy musician and nonbeliever, seemingly closing the door on her past forever. After Faith abandons them, the Brooks family is left to pick up the pieces, unsure if they’ll ever see her again. While coping with Faith’s unsettling desertion, each family member separately wrestles with feelings of betrayal, anger, and fear. The chaos that ensues threatens everything they have ever believed about themselves, God, and the world around them. As Faith struggles to find her way in a scary new world without a support system, her family desperately searches for the reasons why she was driven to commit such a treacherous act. In losing Faith, now the possibility looms that they might also lose their own.

But there was still a part of her heart Gabe would always hold. So, when he turned up on her doorstep a transformed man, and they rekindled their relationship, she thought since they’d already been through the fire, their future looked bright. Now he’s proposed and, with marriage and the reunion of their little family, they’re excited to move on. But as they prepare for the wedding and seek to put their past behind them, it proves harder than expected. It seems the factors stacked against them during their engagement are following them into their marriage and Faith’s doubts are growing. Did they make a mistake? Was it too soon? Do they have too much baggage for this to work? The trust that had eroded between them the year they dated has barely had time to rebuild, and what is a relationship without trust? Keeping their faith strong and their marriage together is draining them of the passion that once bound them so tightly. And Faith begins to struggle to recognize the person she’s becoming. Can they keep their faith in the Lord and each other together? Amidst this turmoil, a tragic turn of events throws them into a tailspin of doubt and threatens to strip them of both their faith and their marriage. Suddenly, they’re faced with the question not of whether they’ll get their fairytale ending, but whether they’ll be together in the end at all.

Beyond the Fault Line

A Serial Killer's Memoirs

By: Niki K. Taylor

I made my way to his very private booth when this gorgeous young thing ran right into me. She looked up at me and said in a very drunken slur, "Hi, my name is Polly Anne, and I'm looking for a date." She giggled. I laughed and told her she'd better be careful. "You never know who is lurking in this bar waiting to hurt you," and I moved on to Bob, thinking, Damn, that could have been my chance, and Bob blew it for me. Oh well, I can always try the next one. Bob told me what he has been up to all these years--Southern California University on a scholarship, got his law degree, and became the sheriff of Pasadena County. Now it's up to me to tell him what I have been up to. Do I tell him about all the murders? No, I shall not tell him about that. I guess I need to tell him about the college days and why I am just now getting back home. So I told him, "I went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Cambridge in Boston and got my PhD in rocket science and trajectory, and I just got hired at NASA, working in the science labs, building the rockets for the Mars rover. I guess I'm glad Mother pushed me into going to Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After all, I didn't think I was smart enough to be there, but I guess I was since I earned my PhD, but now I can't get her to shut up about it. I need to find my own place soon before she drives me nuts. God forbid I had failed--she would have killed me." Bob laughed at that and said, "Yeah, I remember how your mother was, a little crazy. My mom wanted me to be an attorney, and now look at me, ha ha, I'm a cop, and, boy, was she pissed off when I came home and told her I was in the academy, but she finally calmed down and started talking to me, and now she sees how happy I am in my job." "Ha ha, not my mom. She will never be happy unless I'm doing something more important than my dad. I swear she hates him. God only knows why. I think she wants to embarrass him at NASA, but I really don't think it bothers him. He's more proud than embarrassed. It surely backfired on her because Dad is now the cock of the walk over there at NASA, in the janitor's department. None of them can believe he has a kid that has his PhD as a rocket scientist. Dad walks around with his chest puffed out, all pleased as punch. We talked a bit more when I excused myself and told him that I have an appointment with a guy who's renting a house. Boy! I sure need to get away from my mother's house before I kill her. Ha ha." "Ten-four, William. Just don't break any laws getting there. Ha ha." "Not a chance, Bob.

Lateral Cooking

By: Niki Segnit

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Lateral Cooking

By: Niki Segnit

A groundbreaking handbook--the "method" companion to its critically acclaimed predecessor, The Flavor Thesaurus--with a foreword by Yotam Ottolenghi. Niki Segnit used to follow recipes to the letter, even when she'd made a dish a dozen times. But as she tested the combinations that informed The Flavor Thesaurus, she detected the basic rubrics that underpinned most recipes. Lateral Cooking offers these formulas, which, once readers are familiar with them, will prove infinitely adaptable. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each covering a basic culinary category, such as "Bread," "Stock, Soup & Stew," or "Sauce." The recipes in each chapter are arranged on a continuum, passing from one to another with just a tweak or two to the method or ingredients. Once you've got the hang of flatbreads, for instance, then its neighboring dishes (crackers, soda bread, scones) will involve the easiest and most intuitive adjustments. The result is greater creativity in the kitchen: Lateral Cooking encourages improvisation, resourcefulness, and, ultimately, the knowledge and confidence to cook by heart. Lateral Cooking is a practical book, but, like The Flavor Thesaurus, it's also a highly enjoyable read, drawing widely on culinary science, history, ideas from professional kitchens, observations by renowned food writers, and Segnit's personal recollections. Entertaining, opinionated, and inspirational, with a handsome three-color design, Lateral Cooking will have you torn between donning your apron and settling back in a comfortable chair.

Psychology for a Better World

Working with People to Save the Planet. Revised and Updated Edition.

By: Niki Harré

Can you save the planet and have some fun along the way? Aimed at the teacher who updates students on the latest climate change negotiations, the conservationist who works to protect endangered species, the office manager who buys fair-trade coffee, or the city counselor who lobbies for cycle lanes, this book is a guide for everyone who is trying to create a more sustainable planet. Based on the latest psychological research, Niki Harré shows which strategies work (drawing on positive emotions, role modeling, and social identity), which don't, and why. The book ends with a self-help guide for sustainability advocates that outlines how we can work for change at the personal, group, and civic level. This edition is fully revised and updated with new material on hope, sadness, worldview and climate change, behavioral contagion, moral foundations, and more. The book is now accompanied by a free online manual with exercises to illustrate the key concepts and apply them to real world sustainability issues.

The Inheritance

A Family on the Front Lines of the Battle Against Alzheimer's Disease

By: Niki Kapsambelis

The DeMoe family has the most devastating form of [Alzheimer's] that there is: early onset Alzheimer's, an inherited genetic mutation that causes the disease in 100 percent of cases, and has a 50 percent chance of being passed onto the next generation. Of the six DeMoe children whose father had it, five have inherited the gene; the sixth, Karla, has inherited responsibility for all of them. But rather than give up in the face of such news, the DeMoes have agreed to spend their precious, abbreviated years as part of a worldwide study that could utterly change the landscape of Alzheimer's research and offers the brightest hope for future treatments--and possibly a cure"--
