The Social Life of Numbers

A Quechua Ontology of Numbers and Philosophy of Arithmetic

By: Gary Urton,Primitivo Nina Llanos

Unraveling all the mysteries of the khipu--the knotted string device used by the Inka to record both statistical data and narrative accounts of myths, histories, and genealogies--will require an understanding of how number values and relations may have been used to encode information on social, familial, and political relationships and structures. This is the problem Gary Urton tackles in his pathfinding study of the origin, meaning, and significance of numbers and the philosophical principles underlying the practice of arithmetic among Quechua-speaking peoples of the Andes. Based on fieldwork in communities around Sucre, in south-central Bolivia, Urton argues that the origin and meaning of numbers were and are conceived of by Quechua-speaking peoples in ways similar to their ideas about, and formulations of, gender, age, and social relations. He also demonstrates that their practice of arithmetic is based on a well-articulated body of philosophical principles and values that reflects a continuous attempt to maintain balance, harmony, and equilibrium in the material, social, and moral spheres of community life.

Real Food

What to Eat and Why

By: Nina Planck

Hailed as the "patron saint of farmers' markets" by the Guardian and called one of the "great food activists" by Vanity Fair's David Kamp, Nina Planck was on the vanguard of the real food movement, and her first book remains a vital and original contribution to the hot debate about what to eat and why. In lively, personal chapters on produce, dairy, meat, fish, chocolate, and other real foods, Nina explains how ancient foods like beef and butter have been falsely accused, while industrial foods like corn syrup and soybean oil have created a triple epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. The New York Times said that Real Food "poses a convincing alternative to the prevailing dietary guidelines, even those treated as gospel." A rebuttal to dietary fads and a clarion call for the return to old-fashioned foods, Real Food no longer seems radical, if only because the conversation has caught up to Nina Planck. Indeed, it has become gospel in its own right. This special tenth-anniversary edition includes a foreword by Nina Teicholz (The Big Fat Surprise) and a new introduction from the author.

How to Survive Puberty at 25

By: Nina Bhadreshwar

Where do international adventures begin? Well, this one begins in the head of an imaginative mixed-race British girl who grows to be a frustrated journalist in recession-hit, racist Britain in the 1990s. Real Live Gangster is the true story of Nina Bhadreshwar, the British editor of the Real State magazine, later recruited by Death Row Records, the infamous LA-based record label that forever changed the music industry and not a few lives. An anorexic depressive, fed up of UK prejudice, Nina sets up her own magazine, the Real State, on her quest for "the real" in 1992. Finding a fellow seeker in Tupac Shakur during one of her graffiti missions to New York, they start a pen-friendship while her magazine is picked up by several international distributors. Decamping to Watts, South Los Angeles, just after the riots, her world is blown wide open by the injustice she witnesses. Her own delayed puberty kicks in, and with it, come the opportunities. Recruited by Westwood-based Death Row Records to help launch its own cultural magazine, Death Row Uncut, the mute British girl soon becomes one of the family and its voice and writer. But just as the dreams become reality, the cataclysm hits. This is the chronicle of the real—no more, no less—as told by a participator, not a theorist or a spectator.

She can live with being ordinary, an outsider. After all, someone in the family had to take after her father…But one day, alone at home wither family away, Gypsum falls terribly ill. And when the symptoms pass, something has changed. Something she’s dreamed of for such a long time—and suddenly, isn’t ready for at all. “One of the most original and important writers of fantasy working in America today.”—The New York Review of Science Fiction

Cruel Stakes

By: Nina Walker

Cross your heart and hope to live. I should leave them alone and be done with vampires. I finally have my mother back, I’m dating the perfect guy, and I’ve parted ways with Adrian Teresi. But I have an opportunity to help the hunters and hopefully learn something that could save more humans. Not to mention, I need answers about the venom burning through my veins. So I go back to The Alabaster Heart to strike another deal with the vampire prince. The game of cat and mouse that follows is expected, and maybe even a little fun, but nothing prepares me for the day that our games end—and the consequences begin. From USA Today Bestselling author Nina Walker comes the second installment of the Vampires & Vices series. Be warned, once you start you won’t be able to stop.

The Ice House

By: Nina Bawden

A darkly comedic tale of adultery that features a dangerously "good" and disciplined heroine' KIRKUS REVIEWS 'Throughout her career Bawden has concentrated on the careful depiction of character, feelings and behaviour' GUARDIAN At fifteen, Daisy, confident and cherished, is appalled to hear that Ruth's father locked her in the old garden ice house as a childhood punishment: no wonder her friend shelters in make believe. The revelation of that primitive cruelty cements a friendship in which protection plays no small part. Years later, middle aged, they remain close friends and live on the same street. So when Daisy's husband dies suddenly, Ruth's discovery that the marriage was unhappy is the first stage in the unravelling of the certainties she has wrapped around her adult life. Friendship, love, marriage and above all, the scorching effects of adultery, come under the microscope in this dextrous novel. Journeying from a terrifying suburban household to its unexpected conclusion in the Egyptian Pharaoh's tombs, The Ice House is startling, tragic and humorous by turns.

Architects of Violence; Sculptors of Peace

By: Nina Kramer

An international thriller set primarily in Florence, Italy, Architects dramatizes the lives and relationships of three sisters as they are pursued by someone implementing a family vendetta. When the sisters---engrossed in artistic careers in different parts of the States---learn that their celebrated architect-father is critically ill, they travel to Florence and his hospital there despite memories of a brutal childhood. But unknown to them, they are followed by an ingenious mafia soldier---a soldier (and former Olympic-level gymnast) not at all what he appears to be. In Florence, as the sisters wander among the art treasures of the famed Renaissance city, they struggle with childhood memories, with forgiveness of their father, and with their sometimes violent relationships with men. When a sister is kidnapped, by the soldier whose artful disguise fools even the global don who devised the vendetta, all the anti-mafia units in Italy---led by a heroic prosecutor and an activist monk---join forces to find her. As the novel climaxes, its theme---that violence, when it's not controlled, grows explosively---is compellingly dramatized. Architects was awarded Honorable Mention in POL's novel competition in 2000.

The Last Beautiful Girl

By: Nina Laurin

Fans of Black Mirror and There's Someone Inside Your House will devour this disturbing story about a dark descent into social media fame. Izzy is determined to use her family's new mansion, and the treasures inside, to outshine everyone in her new town, even when it's clear that something—or someone—in the house has deadly intentions... When Isabella Brixton is forced to move from New York City to a tiny town, she's not thrilled. The silver lining is the gorgeous old mansion she now calls home. As the former residence of a glamorous patron of the arts and muse who died many decades ago, the house has its quirks: whole floors are boarded up, old paintings are covered, and cell reception is nonexistent. Isa is ready to hate her new life, but things turn around when her classmate Alexa, a skilled photographer, suggests they start an Instagram account featuring portraits of Isa inside the mansion. Wearing gowns and jewelry hidden away in the house, Isa looks perfect in the unfiltered photos—almost unnaturally so—and they quickly go viral. Soon she's got a new best friend, a potential boyfriend, and is surrounded by a group of girls who want the photoshoots and fame for themselves. But there's a darkness in the house, and a darkness growing in Isa, too. When girls start getting hurt, it's clear that something—or someone—in the house is growing in power, with deadly intentions.

Deceived

By: Nina Britcliffe

DECEIVED is a compelling novel with unexpected revelations and an unforeseen twist of events as it delves into the complexities of deception and the disruptive impact it inflicts on unsuspecting lives. The vividness of the characters connects them immediately to the reader as the story hurtles forward to a startling conclusion. A brief synopsis follows. Maggie Conroy is keeping secrets from her husband, stays at a job she can't stand and has given up on her dream of a financial career. But when she witnesses a fatal accident and experiences a near brush with death, Maggie is forced to acknowledge and confront the painful discovery that has brought on this state of paralysis. However, when Maggie attempts to turn her life around she encounters resistance on all fronts. Her husband is completely baffled by her behavior as well as her neurotic sister Bernie, who regards Maggie's actions as self-centered and ill timed. Plus, the eccentrics and prima donnas at her office only add to her sense of urgency to make a change. With such lackluster support, Maggie's determination begins to waver until she meets the dramatic and outspoken Gerry Fritzner, whose defiant attitude boosts Maggie's confidence. That is, until Maggie discovers some very disturbing facts about Gerry's deceased husband that severely jeopardizes their newfound friendship and bond of trust. When tensions mount at home and Maggie experiences a family crisis, she is forced to choose between hurting those she loves and liberating herself from the demons of her past. The path she takes leads to a most intriguing and surprising outcome.

Everyday Fears of Legal Immigrants with Undocumented Spouses

Under U.S. Immigration Policy

By: Nina Michalikova

This book examines the adaptation experiences of legal immigrants with undocumented spouses, considering the structural limitations that they face in their private, social, and professional lives, as well as in regard to their finances and health. The first study to systematically analyze the ways in which legal immigrants are affected by federal and state policies that target their undocumented spouses, it reveals that, regardless of their immigration status, all members of mixed-status families are directly or indirectly subjected to the same intrusive and punitive laws. Based on an autoethnographic approach, Everyday Fears of Legal Immigrants with Undocumented Spouses: Under U.S. Immigration Policy also draws on additional qualitative research as well empirical evidence from existing studies and the latest quantitative data from various governmental agencies and think tanks. It thus integrates multiple approaches to ways of knowing and understanding the experiences of legal immigrants in mixed-status families and will therefore appeal to social scientists with interests in migration.

The Exchange

A Planet Girl Adventure

By: Nina Palmer

Set in Chicago, The Exchange, A Planet Girl Adventure, is a fictionalized version of the 2008 economic meltdown that marked a turning point in the U.S. economy. The events that transpired during this time period collapsed the housing market, drove the economy into a ditch and increased the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet to lofty levels that have only gained momentum over the next decade. The stories of the main characters — a syndicated newspaper astrologer and her assistant; an exotic dancer; a trader; a mobster and a prominent government head — weave together a fictional alternative tapestry, illustrating the underbelly of the machinations in the world of high finance.

Rethinking Language Arts

Passion and Practice

By: Nina Zaragoza

In Rethinking Language Arts: Passion and Practice, SecondEdition, author Nina Zaragoza uses the form of letters to her students to engage pre-service teachers in reevaluating teaching practices, thus bringing to life a vision of an alternative classroom environment in which the teacher is the prime mover and creative leader. Zaragoza discusses and explains the need for teachers to be decision makers, reflective thinkers, political beings, and agents of social change in order to create a positive and inclusive classroom setting. This book is both a critical text that deconstructs the way language arts are traditionally taught in our schools as well as a visionary text with clear, no-nonsense directions on how to provide much needed change in our schools.
