All the Fishes Come Home to Roost

An American Misfit in India

By: Rachel Manija Brown

When she was seven, Rachel Manija Brown's parents, post-60s hippies, uprooted her from her native California and moved to an ashram in a cobra-ridden, drought-stricken spot in India. Cavorting through these pages are some wonderfully eccentric characters: the ashram head, Meher Baba, best known as the guru to Pete Townshend of The Who; the librarian, who grunts and howls nightly outside Rachel's window; a holy madman, who shuffles about collecting invisible objects; a middle-aged male virgin, who begs Rachel to critique his epic spiritual poems; and a delusional Russian who arrives at the ashram proclaiming he is Meher Baba reincarnated. Astutely observed and laugh-out-loud funny, All the Fishes Come Home to Roost is an astonishing debut memoir and the arrival of a major new literary talent. The hardcover edition was named a Book Sense Pick and was selected as a Book of the Week by BN.com's Book Club.

Crazy for You

By: Rachel Lacey

SHE'S TAKING A WALK ON HIS WILD SIDE Emma Rush can't remember a time when she didn't have a thing for Ryan Blake. Haven's resident bad boy is just so freakin' hot-with tattoos, a motorcycle, and enough rough-around-the-edges sexiness to melt all her self-control. Now that Emma's over being a "good girl," she needs a little help being naughty . . . and she knows just where to start. Before Emma's brother enlisted in the military, he made Ryan promise that he would protect her from everything--including himself. When her brother doesn't come home, Ryan needs to turn his screwed-up life around to honor his pledge. But he knows he's still not the right kind of guy for someone as sweet as Emma. Only he can't stop wanting to be with her. Wanting her. Falling in love with a good girl may be the craziest risk this bad boy can take . . .

Get a Bigger Butt - NOW!

The Illustrated Guide to the Most Effective Ways to Get a Bigger, Firmer, Sexier Ass in 21 Days

By: Rachel Howe

Do you want a butt that looks great in any pair of jeans? Do you want to be able to put on shorts or a bikini and not think twice about what your rear looks like in them? If you are a woman, then you probably answered yes to both of those questions. Having a great looking toosh can do a makeover on a woman's self-esteem. She feels fit, young, and ready for anything. If you think that fantastic looking butts can only be found on the backsides of women like Jennifer Lopez or Beyoncé, then you just do not understand how they got theirs in the first place. The Key to a Shapelier Booty It is true that genetics will play a large role on how your butt turns out, but it does not have to stop there. If you want your butt to be thicker,firmer, or even perkier, then the key to achieving this can be found within Rachel Howe's illustrated workout guide. He or she has put together a5 tip workout plan that holds all the secrets you will ever need to get your butt in the best shape of your life. This guide combines power moves, plyometric training, and weight exercises to make sure that your butt is constantly in a workout rotation. These exercises include, Jumping Bouncing Squats Lunges Combinations of exercises and with the additional benefit of using barbells and dumbbells How Will These Exercises Impact Your Butt Size and Shape? As Rachel demonstrates women like Beyoncé have great derrieres because they are dancers. Dancing creates a series of " power moves " that are constantly impacting different areas of the butt. This means that their butt muscles or glutes are never reaching a leveling off point, but are instead getting different focuses of intensity so they will continue to tighten and increase in size to be able to handle the workouts applied on them. Power moves in combination with plyometric training is the top way to create a diverse workout for your butt. This means that it will be applied 3 times a week, but different intense methods will be used each time. Rachel works with you to build a starting workout that will rotate which muscles in your butt along with your thigh muscles, calves, knees, and ankles are being impacted. She will help you build up the strength in your butt in 21 days, after that you will have all the knowledge necessary to build onto your butt workout routine all on your own. Save Money on Trainers and Gym Memberships Any of these exercises can be done inside a gym, but more importantly you can do them from inside your own home. Also, if you start feeling cramped in your house, feel free to take this workout on the road. These exercises and tips do wonders for your butt when performed outside using natural obstacles. You will also find that you will never get bored when it comes to making your butt look fabulous.

Lost Delaware

By: Rachel Kipp,Dan Shortridge

Former Delaware journalists Rachel Kipp and Dan Shortridge document the past, present, and sometimes the future of Delaware's landmarks and legends. Originally part of Pennsylvania and called "the three lower counties on the Delaware," the First State's present has been shaped by both colonial culture and modern industry. Many landmarks of its past, including the Greenbaum Cannery, the Rosedale Beach Hotel, the Nanticoke Queen restaurant, the Ross Point School and the Kahunaville nightclub now live solely in memory. The tales of airplanes and auto plants, breweries and bridges, cows and churches provide insight into the state's many communities, including its Black heritage. Read about fallen hospitals, long-ago lighthouses, crumbling mansions, demolished prisons and theaters that no longer hold shows.

It doesn’t take long for Mackenzie to discover gaps in the official story. Several potential witnesses conveniently disappeared soon after the murder. The victim, a glamorous heiress and founder of a Kentucky horse-racing dynasty, left behind plenty of enemies. And the cops don’t seem particularly interested in discussing any of it. But when the threats begin, Mackenzie knows she’s onto something. Someone out there would prefer to keep old secrets buried and they seem willing to bury Mackenzie with them. Thankfully, she’s getting help from a very unexpected source: the victim’s son, Ryan. The closer she gets to him, however, the more important it is for Mackenzie to uncover the truth before he gets buried alongside her. Read or listen to the ebook and audiobook of the serial novel Dead Air, and then check out Mackenzie’s podcast for a uniquely immersive experience. Does the truth lie in the serial, the podcast...or somewhere in-between?

A Complete Identity

The Youthful Hero in the Work of G. A. Henty and George MacDonald

By: Rachel E. Johnson

This book offers an examination of the hero figure in the work of G. A. Henty (1832-1902) and George MacDonald (1824-1905) and a reassessment of oppositional critiques of their writing. It demonstrates the complementary characteristics of the hero figure which construct a complete identity commensurate with the Victorian ideal hero. The relationship between the expansion of the British Empire and youthful heroism is established through investigation of the Victorian political, social, and religious milieu, the construct of the child, and the construct of the hero. A connection between the exotic geographical space of empire and the unknown psychological space is drawn through examination of representation of the "other" in the work of Henty and MacDonald. This book demonstrates that Henty's work is more complex than the stereotypically linear, masculine, imperialistic critique of his stories as historical realism allows, and that MacDonald's work displays more evidence of historical embedding and ideological interpellation than the critical focus on his work as fantasy and fairy tale considers. Greater understanding of the effect of this heroic ideal on nineteenth-century society leads to a greater understanding of the implications for subsequent children's literature and Western cultures, including that of the twenty-first century.

Modernist Literature

By: Rachel Potter

Introduces students to a wide range of modernist writers and critical debates in modernism studies. Discussing canonical modernist writers such as James Joyce and T. S. Eliot alongside less familiar writers such as Mina Loy and Djuna Barnes, the guide takes students through a wide-ranging modernist literary landscape. It considers how the publishing networks and collaborative projects which connected writers in the period were central to the creation of English-language modernism. It also introduces students to recent critical debates in modernism studies, with separate chapters on modernism and the writing of geography and exile, the relationship between modernism, obscenity and literary censorship, and modernism and mass culture - with a particular focus on the modernist interest in film - and modernism and politics. The book also considers the changing meaning of the word modernism through twentieth and twenty-first century criticism.

Rodinsky's Room

By: Rachel Lichtenstein,Iain Sinclair

Rodinsky's world was that of the East European Jewry, cabbalistic speculation, an obsession with language as code and terrible loss. He touched the imagination of artist Rachel Lichtenstein, whose grandparents had left Poland in the thirties. This text weaves together Lichtenstein's quest for Rodinsky -which took her to Poland, to Israel and around Jewish London -with Iain Sinclair's meditations on her journey into her own past, and on the Whitechapel he has reinvented.

Sudden Death

By: Rachel Lynch

Scores are dead or injured. But who was the killer’s true target? On a misty morning in the Lake District, two men depart by helicopter from a private estate. Below, they see the stunning views of Wast Water, with Scafell Pike ahead, where fell runners are competing atop England’s highest mountain. It’s at this moment that the pilots lose control, and crash into the mountain top. Runners and bystanders are caught in the devastation. This is the scene that greets DI Kelly Porter. She attempts to coordinate the rescue efforts, though it’s clear many won’t make it, including occupants of the helicopter. Three are dead, and the fourth is badly injured. When it emerges that the survivor is none other than the Right Honourable Lord Donald Reilly, and the person who chartered the flight was notorious billionaire Bartholomew Kennedy-Craig, the media frenzy is intense. Reilly is high up in government, and his contact with the magnate provokes speculation. When it is learned that the helicopter had been tampered with, Kelly and her team can’t afford to make a single mistake. Who was the intended victim, and why? With the scrutiny of the government, the public and the press on her, just how confident can she be that the trail of evidence is leading her to the right conclusion? Don’t miss the stunning return of DI Kelly Porter in this tenth instalment from million copy bestseller Rachel Lynch. A must-read for fans of Angela Marsons, Patricia Gibney and L. J. Ross.

Backlash

Libel, Impeachment, and Populism in the Reign of Queen Anne

By: Rachel Carnell

A country bitterly divided between two political parties. Populist mobs rising in support of a reactionary rabble-rouser. Foreign interference in the political process. Strained relations between Britain and Europe. These are not recent headlines—they are from the year 1710, when Queen Anne ruled Britain. In her engagingly written Backlash, Rachel Carnell tells the fascinating and entertaining account of the reign of Queen Anne and the true story behind the fall of the Whig government imaginatively depicted in the 2018 film The Favourite. As Carnell shows, the truth was significantly different—and in many ways more interesting—than what the film depicted. The backlash began in 1709 when the Whigs arrested a popular female Tory political satirist and then impeached a provocative High Church clergyman for preaching a sermon repudiating the ideals of parliamentary monarchy and religious tolerance. The impeachment trial backfired, and mobs surged in the streets supporting the Tory preacher and threatening religious minorities. With charges dropped against the satirist, by 1710 she had written a best-selling sequel. Queen Anne was careful and diligent in her monarchical duties. She tried to run a government balanced between the parties, but finally torn between the Whigs (including her longtime friends the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough) and the proto-Brexiteer Tories, she dissolved Parliament and called for elections. This brought in a majority for the Tories, who swiftly began passing reactionary legislation. While the Whigs would return to power after Anne’s death in 1714 and reverse the Tory policies, this little-known era offers an important historical perspective on the populist backlashes in the United States and United Kingdom today.

Mysterious Wisdom

The Life and Work of Samuel Palmer

By: Rachel Campbell-Johnston

A devotee of the great visionary William Blake, Samuel Palmer became the lynchpin of the first British art movement. Leading a band of fellow artists - the brotherhood of Ancients - out of London to the village of Shoreham in Kent, he set out to create a new rural ideal. His paintings of slumbering shepherds and tumbling blossoms, of mystical cornfields and bright sickle moons, capture a world in which landscape and politics, religion and culture all meet. They reflect the concerns of the nineteenth century which his life spanned. In his day, like his mentor Blake, Samuel Palmer was much neglected. He did not attempt the grand dramas of J.M.W. Turner or follow John Constable's profoundly naturalistic path. But he belongs in their pantheon of great British Romantics as much for the numinous visions that are embodied in his loveliest paintings as for the vagaries of a life story in which he so often failed. If English tradition had ever encompassed the making of icons they would not have been so different from Palmer's enchanted landscapes. Mysterious Wisdom offers for the first time in more than thirty-five years a vivid and intimate portrait of Palmer who, over the course of the past century, has become increasingly treasured as one of the most extraordinarily talented and quirkily eccentric figures of the British art world, or - as the art historian Kenneth Clark believed - an English Van Gogh.

Battle for the Museum

Cultural Institutions in Crisis

By: Rachel Spence

Culture and power have been bedfellows since ancient times. But now, more than ever, exhibits and the organisations responsible for them have become part of our troubled politics. Protests force out problematic patrons and curators, and pressure museums to abandon fossil fuel sponsorship. Campaigners demand equality and diversity, and condemn exploitation of artists and staff alike. Those confronting racism and imperial legacies call for restitution of cultural objects. Arts journalist Rachel Spence has watched these institutions become a flashpoint for today's social divisions. She interviews those on the frontlines, from artists and activists to directors and donors, revealing stories of elitism, inequality and injustice. Business and finance launder their reputations through art fair and museum patronage, while governments bolster their authority by weaponising or attacking the arts--and ordinary museumgoers mobilise to demand better. How did we get here, and what lies ahead for these institutions? From China and Russia to Helsinki and New York, from the British Museum and the Louvre to the Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi, Battle for the Museum uncovers a dark nexus of capital, culture and power--and a radical shift in attitudes, driven by resistance movements fighting fiercely for exhibition spaces that serve today's public.

A Parting of the Ways

A moving drama about motherhood, friendship and lies

By: Rachel Crowther

An “intelligently written and thought-provoking” novel of two women, an abandoned baby, a long-ago trauma, and a confrontation with truth (Cambridge Journal). When they were nineteen, taking a summer journey along the British coast, Olivia and Eve found a newborn baby in a phone box. The trip had been filled with adventures, arguments, and friendship. But that day marked the end of it all. The baby could have drawn them together, but instead, the trauma of its story pushed them dramatically apart. A few days later, Olivia and Eve went their separate ways and never spoke to each other again. Twenty-five years later, their lives have gone in very different directions. But when a mutual friend writes to tell Olivia she’s getting married, Olivia knows the moment is coming when she and Eve will have to see each other again—and face the truth of what happened that summer, and what it has done to them . . . “Witty and empathetic.” —Country Life Praise for The Things You Do for Love “A wonderful page-turner of a novel.” —Fay Weldon, award-winning author of Habits of the House and Big Girls Don’t Cry “The very best sort of fiction.” —Juliet Nicolson, author of A House Full of Daughters and The Perfect Summer “A richly textured tale of life and love.” —Richard Mason, award-winning author of Who Killed Piet Barol? An earlier version of this novel was published in 2011 by Hookline Books as The Partridge and the Pelican

Seduction is the name of the game for these seven charming bad boys. Will the love of a good woman tame their wild ways? Find out in this discounted digital collection. Spiraling: Amy Astor, America’s ice princess, is exactly who boy-band-heartthrob-turned-Hollywood-leading-man Shane Marx needs to help him land his next starring role and break out of stereotyped casting. But Hollywood’s power brokers will cry “cut!” on both of their careers unless they can learn that love is stronger than addiction. Strangers in the Night: When Jake Kelly, Chicago’s conservative mayoral candidate, and Keila Diaz, a spirited violinist, work together to create a music program for the city’s public school system as part of his platform for education reform, the sparks are combustive. But will voters give this pair a thumbs up? It’s Been You: Marketing manager Tiana Holliday snags her dream job at an award-winning agency in New York City, but cocky playboy Nathaniel Lawson, her old grad-school nemesis, is her new officemate. When their competition to manage a lucrative sports car account and nab a big promotion erupts into an all-out battle of desire, they discover that challenging each other outside the boardroom is even more satisfying than advertised. Her Knight in Black Leather: When his father falls ill, Michael Brant returns to the hometown he ditched years ago. His first night in town, he rescues a damsel in distress who has no clue about his family ties. But Cat can’t continue to treat him like a one-night stand when Michael’s dark past surfaces, putting her in danger. Can he find a way to keep her safe without risking his heart? Worth the Wait: Playboy and fitness instructor Jared Patterson seems like the perfect candidate to help Tasha Smith lose her long-held V-card. But what starts out as a one-time thing quickly turns into an affair neither wants to stop—even when it might get in the way of their futures. The Bargain: Ladies’ man Michael Kingston desperately wants to atone for past mistakes, but his younger brother refuses to speak to him. So Michael strikes a deal with tomboy Shannon Mahoney: If she gets Drew to hear him out, Michael will mentor Shannon in how to win his brother’s heart. But what’s the next step when two unlikely allies discover they enjoy each other’s company far more than either expected? Maybe love isn’t about reinventing yourself after all. Nothing’s Sweeter than Candy: Brice Coleman has long enjoyed the spoils of the battle of the sexes, one female conquest at a time. That is, until he meets Candace Brown, who, after two failed relationships, no longer believes in Prince Charming. What’s a guy got to do to heal his woman’s broken heart? Sensuality Level: Sensual
