We throw coins in a fountain, we blow out candles, we close our eyes against a falling star... all for the chance at a single wish. But what would happen if a wish was forced on you? Kira is one of the newest batch of Jinn sent to mend the paths of those humans who have lost their destinies. She has been assigned to discover Jack Morgan's one true wish by whatever means are necessary, with only three stipulations: 1) no one is to discover she is a Jinni, 2) she is never to lose control of her powers, and 3) she is never, ever to grow attached to her human. The stubborn Wall of Jack, as Kira thinks of him, has worked hard to create a life that is normal in a home that was anything but. He wants nothing more than to follow his meticulously laid out plan for his future. So, when Kira arrives in his English class with a rush of wind and spark of energy that knocks him off balance, he never would have guessed that she was a Jinni sent for him. Kira and Jack battle wills, battle their own failings, and battle the impossible feelings that are growing between them; until a battle of another kind pulls them eternally together. Even with mystery, magic and a timeless romance, nothing could prepare the reader for the consequences of two little words... I wish.

Making Sense of Reality

Culture and Perception in Everyday Life

By: Tia DeNora

What is reality and how do we make sense of it in everyday life? Why do some realities seem more real than others, and what of seemingly contradictory and multiple realities? This book considers reality as we represent, perceive and experience it. It suggests that the realities we take as ‘real’ are the result of real-time, situated practices that draw on and draw together many things - technologies and objects, people, gestures, meanings and media. Examining these practices illuminates reality (or rather our sense of it) as always ‘virtually real’, that is simplified and artfully produced. This examination also shows us how the sense of reality that we make is nonetheless real in its consequences. Making Sense of Reality offers students and educators a guide to analysing social life. It develops a performance-based perspective (‘doing things with’) that highlights the ever-revised dimension of realities and links this perspective to a focus on object-relations and an ecological model of culture-in-action.

Cancer Causes and Controversies

Understanding Risk Reduction and Prevention

By: Bernard Kwabi-Addo,Tia Laura Lindstrom

This book offers clear, accessible information on the causes of cancer and the multiple ways people can reduce their risk for this insidious disease. Like no other work, this much-needed volume gathers the latest research and understanding about the causes of cancer and methods of preventing the disease—and makes it all clear and accessible to the general reader. Cancer Causes and Controversies: Understanding Risk Reduction and Prevention describes common risk factors associated with particular types of cancer, including genetic predisposition, radiation and chemical carcinogens, diet, hormonal factors, infection, and smoking. The book then looks at the scientific evidence supporting the positive role of healthy nutrition, exercise, and diet in lowering cancer risk, as well as the dangers posed by a dysfunctional immune system compromised by chronic infection, unhealthy lifestyles, stress, and poor psychological health. Finally, the book provides an unbiased assessment of a number of controversies surrounding cancer causes and prevention, including screening and genetic testing, vitamin supplementation, genetically modified foods, chemical food additives, and cellular phones and deodorants as potential cancer-causing agents.

Yes, You Need Space

By: Yani Bautista (Tia Manila)

Have you been living under a rock? No idea how 'like' and 'follow' work? Overwhelmed with the social media phenomenon? In need of online inspiration? Then, this is your reference manual and survival kit! For this book's purpose, the author, Yani Bautista refers to the female quarter-life demographic of social media users as Tia / Tita (Auntie). Whether they have settled down or stayed single, they are at a point in their lives where they are trying to re-experience and re-discover things in order to thrive in a social media-dominated world. This book tackles a very specific aspect of a Tia's life – her social media life. But Tia or not, Millennial or Generation X, this book has so much to say about our modern day social media usage. If you need help with social media because you've been exposed to it for so long that it gets the best of you sometimes, then let this be a digital detox program that will refresh your system and lead you to do better things online, like make money, learn new skills, find closure or a new love. Prepare to log in.
