Lion A Novel

Lion: A Novel by Sonya Walger
English | February 4, 2025 | ISBN: 1681379031 | True EPUB | 176 pages | 1.1 MB
"A breathtaking novel, dreamlike and courageous, brimming with glamour and disastrous scarcities." -Susie Boyt

Lion is the story of a father and a daughter. The father is the unlikeliest of fathers. He is a charismatic bon vivant, a polo player, race-car driver, cocaine addict, ex-con, pilot, and skydiver. He is like a minor god who comes down to earth in a grand manner, falling in all the ways there are to fall. Lion moves back and forth between present-day Los Angeles, where the daughter lives and works as an actress, and the past of her peripatetic childhood in England, Argentina, and Peru. "It is hard to compete with adrenalin when you are a child," she writes, now a mother herself to young children whose settled upbringing prompts her to consider her unconventional youth and the source of its chaos.
Sonya Walger's stunning autobiographical debut is an emotionally acute palimpsest of a novel, full of drama and incident, love and tragedy. The legend of the father's life and her distinctive and imaginatively charged telling of it make for an engrossing and unforgettable family saga.

Listen to Your Sister A Novel

Listen to Your Sister: A Novel by Neena Viel
English | February 4, 2025 | ISBN: 1250289130, 1250906326 | True EPUB | 352 pages | 3.3 MB
For fans of Jordan Peele's films, Stranger Things, and The Other Black Girl, Listen To Your Sister is a laugh-out-loud, deeply terrifying, and big-hearted speculative horror novel from electrifying debut talent Neena Viel.

Twenty-five year old Calla Williams is struggling since becoming guardian to her brother, Jamie. Calla is overwhelmed and tired of being the one who makes sacrifices to keep the family together. Jamie, full of good-natured sixteen-year-old recklessness, is usually off fighting for what matters to him or getting into mischief, often at the same time. Dre, their brother, promised he would help raise Jamie-but now the ink is dry on the paperwork and in classic middle-child fashion, he's off doing his own thing. And through it all, The Nightmare never stops haunting Calla: recurring images of her brothers dying that she is powerless to stop.
When Jamie's actions at a protest spiral out of control, the siblings must go on the run. Taking refuge in a remote cabin that looks like it belongs on a slasher movie poster rather than an AirBNB, the siblings now face a new threat where their lives-and reality-hang in the balance. Their sister always warned them about her nightmares. They really should have listened.

Listening to the Philosophers Notes on Notes

Listening to the Philosophers: Notes on Notes
by Raffaella Cribiore
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1501774751 | 300 Pages | PDF | 4.83 MB

Listening to the Philosophers offers the first comprehensive look into how philosophy was taught in antiquity through a stimulating study of lectures by ancient philosophers that were recorded by their students. Raffaella Cribiore shows how the study of notes―whether Philodemus of Gadara's notes of Zeno's lectures in the first century BCE, or Arrian recording the Discourses of Epictetus in the second century CE, or the students of Didymus the Blind in the fourth century and Olympiodorus in the sixth century―can enable us to understand the methods and practices of what was an orally conducted education. By considering the pedagogical and mnemonic role of notetaking in ancient education, Listening to the Philosophers demonstrates how in antiquity the written and the spoken worlds were intimately intertwined.

Lists and Catalogues in Ancient Literature and Beyond Towards a Poetics of Enumera...

Rebecca Laemmle, "Lists and Catalogues in Ancient Literature and Beyond: Towards a Poetics of Enumeration "
English | ISBN: 3110712199 | 2021 | 450 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Lists and catalogues have been en vogue in philosophy, cultural, media and literary studies for more than a decade. These explorations of enumerative modes, however, have not yet had the impact on classical scholarship that they deserve. While they routinely take (a limited set of) ancient models as their starting point, there is no comparably comprehensive study that focuses on antiquity; conversely, studies on lists and catalogues in Classics remain largely limited to individual texts, and - with some notable exceptions - offer little in terms of explicit theorising. The present volume is an attempt to close this gap and foster the dialogue between the recent theoretical re-appraisal of enumerative modes and scholarship on ancient cultures.

The 16 contributions to the volume juxtapose literary forms of enumeration with an abundance of ancient non-, sub- or para-literary practices of listing and cataloguing. In their different approaches to this vast and heterogenous corpus, they offer a sense of the hermeneutic, epistemic and methodological challenges with which the study of enumeration is faced, and elucidate how pragmatics, materiality, performativity and aesthetics are mediated in lists and catalogues.

Literary Neurodiversity Studies Current and Future Directions

Literary Neurodiversity Studies: Current and Future Directions
by Bradley J. Irish
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031806026 | 110 Pages | True PDF | 1.86 MB

This book is a concise but comprehensive introduction to the field of literary neurodiversity studies, a growing approach to literary criticism that has emerged in the past decade. Its three parts are designed to: 1) introduce readers both to the general concept of neurodiversity and to current outlooks, approaches, and key scholarship from literary neurodiversity studies; 2) to present one possible vision of the future of literary neurodiversity studies, by offering an argument about how the field might further entwine with more general research on literary cognition, literary emotion, and literary sensation; and 3) to model for readers how one might perform a neurological reading of a literary text, by offering a sustained analysis of Shakespeare's Othello. It also contains an extensive bibliography of existing scholarship from literary neurodiversity studies, which will provide an indispensable resource for new and experienced researchers in the field.

Literature and Politics in the Later Foucault

Azucena G. Blanco, "Literature and Politics in the Later Foucault"
English | ISBN: 3110668823 | 2020 | 153 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This study proposes a revised interpretation of Foucault's views on literature. It has been argued that the philosopher's interest in literature was limited to the 1960s and of a mostly depoliticized nature. However, Foucault's previously unpublished later works suggest a different reality, showing a sustained interest in literature and its politics. In the light of this new material, the book repositions Foucault's ideas within recent debates on the politics of literature.

Literature and Race in the Democracy of Goods: Reading Contemporary Black and Asian North American Poetry (Bloomsbury Studies in Critical Poetics) by Christopher Chen
English | June 2, 2022 | ISBN: 1350164003, 1350278807 | True EPUB | 232 pages | 0.7 MB
Examining three literary traditions - post-1960 Asian American, Asian Canadian and Black experimental poetry - this book reframes contemporary scholarly accounts of post-war North American comparative racial group formation, demonstrating how such poetry investigates contemporary Black-Asian relations and maps the complex co-constitution of race and capitalism at different spatial scales.

Offering extended close readings of contemporary Black, Asian American and Asian Canadian experimental poets such as Myung Mi Kim, Erica Hunt, Larissa Lai and Ed Roberson, this book argues that these writers redefine race as a changing and politically contested form of constraint and possibility powerfully shaped by economic history and capitalist globalization.
This study retheorizes some basic terms of analysis of contemporary US poetry and poetics, critical race and ethnic studies, racial capitalism and contemporary theories of comparative and relational racialization.

Literature, Interpretation and Ethics

Literature, Interpretation and Ethics By Colin Davis
2024 | 188 Pages | ISBN: 1032439785 | EPUB | 1 MB
Literature, Interpretation and Ethics argues for the centrality of hermeneutics in the context of ongoing debates about the value and values of literature, and about the role and ethics of literary study. Hermeneutics is the endeavor to understand the nature of interpretation, as it poses vital questions about how we make sense of works of art, our own lives, other people and the world around us.The book outlines the contribution of hermeneutics to literary study through detailed accounts of role of interpretation in the work of key thinkers such as Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur, Umberto Eco, Jacques Derrida and Emmanuel Levinas. It also illustrates problems of interpretation posed by specific literary texts and films, emphasising how our interpretive acts also entail ethical engagements. The book develops a 'hermeneutics of (guarded) trust', which calls for attention to the agency of art without surrendering critical vigilance.Through a series of forays into theoretical texts, literary works and films, the book contributes to contemporary debates about critical practice and the cultural value. Interpretation, it suggests, is always fallible but it is also essential to our place in the world, and to the importance of the humanities.

Lithium-Ion Batteries and Li-Ion Capacitors From Fundamentals to Practical Applica...

Lithium-Ion Batteries and Li-Ion Capacitors: From Fundamentals to Practical Applications
by Junsheng Zheng
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3725824193 | 218 Pages | PDF | 38 MB

As the representatives of energy and power devices, lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion capacitors have developed rapidly in recent years. Lithium-ion batteries have in fact become the first choice for new energy vehicles, 3C electronic products, and electrochemical energy storage. Due to their high power densities, energy densities, and long cycle lives, the application of lithium-ion capacitors in automotive energy recovery, electrochemical energy storage and power assistance, fast charging, and high functional devices could be promising. However, there are many problems that remain unsolved regarding the basic research and application of lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion capacitors. This Reprint focuses on lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion capacitors, including the increases in the capacities, rates, and lifespans of electrode materials; the increases in ion transmission and storage capacitis of anodes and cathodes; and the improvements in the electrode/electrolyte interface and stability of the solid electrolyte interphase. On the other hand, the progress of surface density of electrodes and proportion of active substances have become key issues related to research on lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion capacitors. Furthermore, pack design, stacking technology, equalization technology, SOC estimation, operation, and monitoring are also crucial to the application of lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion capacitors as power supply equipment.

Lithium-Ion Cells Materials and Applications

Lithium-Ion Cells: Materials and Applications
by Yury Koshtyal, Alexander Rumyantsev
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9783036582672 | 400 Pages | True PDF | 27 MB

A large quantity of articles and books have been published on the designated topics. However, most of the literary sources describe the results of scientific articles on the synthesis and study of perspective materials; reveal circuit and design solutions for constructing control systems and manufacturing batteries; and are educational materials. At the same time, a small part of the published sources includes the following: descriptions of materials produced industrially and used in the LIC manufacturing process; demonstrations of the industrially produced LIC energy and power parameters; analysis of the characteristics of manufactured miniature lithium-ion cells, solid-state LICs, lithium metal cells, and all-solid-state cells; as well as others. Considering the popularity of the discussed topics, one can hope to find detailed information on the Internet. Indeed, modern search engines make it possible to locate a sufficiently large number of relevant documents. However, while conducting such research, we encountered the following challenges: the data are somewhat fragmented, and their systematization and structuring are required; search results do not always meet search queries. For instance, data that were relevant to the topic were found, but they did not match the query; as accumulated data grow, the search time for new information extends; the choice of search engine and location (different countries) affects search results; the data are not indexed in search engines, although the correct keywords and website were requested; the information disappears due to website updates; and the found data require additional processing. For example, many presentations show changes in the shape of the discharge curves depending on the discharge current strength. In addition, however, Ragone Descriptions are necessary for a correct comparison, and therefore, the mathematical processing of presented results is required. Thus, this book was written to systematize and structure information on industrially produced materials for LIC manufacturing and industrially produced and promising LICs (and lithium metal rechargeable cells) for various applications.

Little Sins Mean a Lot Kicking Our Bad Habits Before They Kick Us

Little Sins Mean a Lot: Kicking Our Bad Habits Before They Kick Us By Elizabeth Scalia
2016 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 1612789048 | EPUB | 1 MB
Most of us at one time have said, or thought, something like: "So I procrastinate, it's not like it's hurting anyone!" "Enough about you, back to me." "I deserve this, so I'm treating myself!" "If I can't have it, she shouldn't either." "I'll get around to it... or not." "It's not really gossip if it's all true, right?" (And the granddaddy of them all) "But that doesn't make me a bad person!" Are these really sins, you ask? After all, they're not murder, theft, or violence. Don't they just mean we're human? Writer, speaker, and blogger Elizabeth Scalia takes a look at thirteen of these "little sins" that, if left unexamined and unconfessed, can have a serious impact on our spiritual lives and relationship with Christ. Through her honest (and sometimes funny) examination of these same sins in her own life, as well as Church teaching on each one, she helps us ask ourselves the tough questions, and the tools to kick these bad habits before they kick us.

Live Fast A Novel

Live Fast: A Novel by Brigitte Giraud, translated by Cory Stockwell
English | February 11, 2025 | ISBN: 0063346729 | True EPUB | 176 pages | 2.9 MB
Winner of the Prix Goncourt

A powerful autobiographical novel of loss, the incandescent love that remains, and the small decisions that define the course of fate
Paced and structured with the inevitable suspense of a countdown, Brigitte Giraud's tense and haunting novel follows one woman's quest to comprehend the motorcycle accident that took the life of her partner Claude at age 41.
The narrator of Live Fast recounts the chain of events that led up to the fateful accident, tracing the tiny, maddening twists of fate that might have prevented its tragic outcome. Each chapter asks the rhetorical question, "what if," departing from an image or memory from early years in Algeria during the war, to moving to the suburbs of Lyon, buying and renovating a home where they could "put down their suitcase for a whole life." A sensitive elegy to her husband and a subtle, precise vision of a lasting love, Live Fast is a moving and electrifying portrait of two people caught up in the mundane activities of life, forgetting that living itself can be dangerous.

Live Like A Cupbearer, Leadership Lessons From Nehemiah

Randy Smith, "Live Like A Cupbearer, Leadership Lessons From Nehemiah"
English | ISBN: 1098357892 | 2021 | 116 pages | EPUB | 271 KB
The year that will forever be known as 2020 has brought new words to our world: Covid-19, Corona Virus, and Essential Workers. One day we're dropping off the kids at school on the way to work at the office; the next day we're told you're now working from home to keep everyone safe and the dining room became the make shift classroom. Perhaps other than World War II, no other time in history has the focus been on "essential workers," focus that would normally be reserved for athletes and movie stars was shifted to doctors, nurses, teachers, transportation workers, baristas, you name it. People and jobs that have been serving us for years, helping keep life running day-in and day-out are finally receiving the attention they deserve.

One day you're a delivery driver and the next day you're the key to help people survive. Sounds very familiar to the story of Nehemiah. While many may know Nehemiah as the guy who helped build the wall, what most may not know he was just a simple servant. One day he was polishing the King's silver and the next day he becomes the savior for an entire nation. One simple cupbearer became the person who helped change history.
The lessons we can learn from Nehemiah transcends history, occupations, race, religion, etc. These are lessons that can be applied in the office, the classroom, the family room, even a Zoom call. The story of Nehemiah gives us a glimpse to look at our own lives and an opportunity learn from history.
While this book is based upon the Old Testament Book of Nehemiah, the leadership principles pulled from the life of Nehemiah can apply to believers, non-believers and even people who have never read the Bible. Nehemiah reminds us we have a Creator who loves us and never forgets about us. He uses normal everyday people to write history. Heroes are found next door, in the classroom, all around us, even in the mirror.
Often when we read history we forget that the people we're reading about are just like us, normal everyday people who take a step of faith. The lessons we can learn from Nehemiah can help all of us take those steps in every aspect of our lives.

Living Together

Mim Skinner, "Living Together"
English | ISBN: 1804440035 | 2022 | 304 pages | EPUB | 384 KB
From the author of Jailbirds and one of Elle's '50 Game Changers' (2019) comes a timely exploration of different forms of living together. Seventy-six per cent of British adults feel that our sense of community has disappeared. We are less likely than our grandparents, or even our parents, to know the names of our neighbours, to enjoy multi-generational friendships or to share resources and childcare. With mental health at epidemic levels, the climate crisis worsening, and society feeling increasingly divided, this game-changing book asks whether there are better ways to live. Mim Skinner sets out to explore communities that have rejected individualism and nuclear family life in order to embrace a more collective way of living. As she meets those who have had the courage to imagine a better world and start living it - in countercultural hippy communes, the disability led L'Arche communities, queer safe spaces, environmental campaign groups, rehab support networks and more - she asks how each is tackling the social issues of our time and finding greener and more connected ways to be together. Mixing memories and reflections of her own unconventional upbringing with interviews and research into the international history of communalism, Mim Skinner challenges her own assumptions as well as ours as she searches for a more meaningful way of life and finds multiple options for alternative ways of living - from commercial co-living developments for time-starved urbanites to off-grid farm communities, low-cost co-operative estates and collaborative parenting schemes. The result is an eye-opening snapshot of alternative communities and a much-needed new perspective on the concept of wellness. It asks whether individualism can ever give us the tools to live in healthy and equal ways and offers a glimpse into the possibility - and also the pitfalls - of life lived differently.

Living Well with OCD Practical Strategies for Improving Your Daily Life

Living Well with OCD: Practical Strategies for Improving Your Daily Life
by Jonathan S. Abramowitz

Local Self-Governance in Antiquity and in the Global South Theoretical and Empiric...

Dominique Krüger, "Local Self-Governance in Antiquity and in the Global South: Theoretical and Empirical Insights from an Interdisciplinary"
English | ISBN: 3110796244 | 2022 | 680 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
The nucleus of society is situated at the local level: in the village, the neighborhood, the city district. This is where a community first develops collective rules that are intended to ensure its continued existence. The contributors look at such configurations in geographical areas and time periods that lie outside of the modern Western world with its particular development of society and statehood: in Antiquity and in the Global South of the present. Here states tend to be weak, with obvious challenges and opportunities for local communities. How does governance in this context work?

Scholars from various disciplines (Classics, Theology, Political Science, Sociology, Social Anthropology, Human Geography, Sinology) analyze different kinds of local arrangements in case studies, and they do so with a comparative approach. The sixteen papers examine the scope and spatial contingency of forms of self-governance; its legitimization and the collective identity of the groups behind them; the relations to different levels of state governance as well as to other local groups. Overall, this volume makes an interdisciplinary contribution to a better understanding of fundamental elements of local governance and statehood.
