The Beginning of Everything (9780062217141)

Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything is a witty and heart-wrenching teen novel that will appeal to fans of books by John Green and Ned Vizzini, novels such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and classics like The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye. Varsity tennis captain Ezra Faulkner was supposed to be homecoming king, but that was before--before his girlfriend cheated on him, before a car accident shattered his leg, and before he fell in love with unpredictable new girl Cassidy Thorpe. As Kirkus said in a starred review, Schneider takes familiar stereotypes and infuses them with plenty of depth. Here are teens who could easily trade barbs and double entendres with the characters that fill John Green's novels. Funny, smart, and including everything from flash mobs to blanket forts to a poodle who just might be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby, The Beginning of Everything is a refreshing contemporary twist on the classic coming-of-age novel--a heart-wrenching sto...

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Women Who Walked into the Sea by Mark Douglas-Home, read by David Monteath. The daughter who nobody wanted learns the truth about the mother she never knew. A page-turning, heart-breaking mystery 'full of surprises ... this is a classic whodunit' (Scotsman).

As McGill is drawn into Violet's search for the truth, he encounters a coastal community divided by obsession and grief, and united only by a conviction that its secrets sho...

The Most Dangerous Book Ever Published : Deadly Deception Exposed! (9788793987210)

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell. In seventy-eight essays, seven prominent social critics question everything from government authority to COVID-19 in what has been called, "the most dangerous book ever published." This thought-provoking and empowering, even "criminal," anthology is a major challenge to the establishment, the ruling oligarchy, or whatever we choose to call the deep state, central planners, and mega-criminals who set and control global narratives. Readers are presented with an array of "forbidden" subjects and in-depth analyses that pull the rug underneath the elite and expose the lies that constitute the matrix. Among others, this book documents and casts light on: - Washington's deadly pursuit of hegemony camouflaged as the "War on Terror" and "spreading democracy." - The erosion of legal principles and elimination of civil and human rights under the...

The Internet Age: on the face of it, an era of unprecedented freedom in both communication and culture. Yet in the past, each major new medium, from telephone to satellite television, has crested on a wave of similar idealistic optimism, before succumbing to the inevitable undertow of industrial consolidation.

Gesammelte Schriften V (359627379X)

Die von Max Horkheimer und Theodor W. Adorno gemeinsam verfaßte 'Dialektik der Aufklärung' ist der wichtigste Text der Kritischen Theorie und zugleich eines der klassischen Werke der Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Philosophische Kritik, Auseinandersetzung mit dem Faschismus und die Resultate langjähriger empirischer Untersuchungen in den USA verschmelzen hier zu einer Theorie der modernen Massenkultur. Mit äußerster gedanklicher Schärfe beleuchten die Autoren die Kehrweite technischen und sozialen Fortschritts: »Aufklärung« als Herrschaft der Vernunft, als Unterwerfung der Natur unter die menschlichen Zwecke wird über sich selbst aufgeklärt. Die Wiedergabe des Textes folgt der von Horkheimer 1969 autorisierten Fassung. Sämtliche Änderungen gegenüber der Erstausgabe von 1944 sind vermerkt; zeitgeschichtliche Anspielungen und ungebräuchliche Begriffe sind vom Herausgeber kommentiert. Band 5 der 'Gesammelten Schriften' enthält weiterhin alle Aufsätze und Vorträge, ...

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action. Who is the Hero of Ages? To end the Final Empire and restore freedom, Vin killed the Lord Ruler. But as a result, the Deepness--the lethal form of the ubiquitous mists--is back, along with increasingly heavy ashfalls and ever more powerful earthquakes. Humanity appears to be doomed. Having escaped death at the climax of The Well of Ascension only by becoming a Mistborn himself, Emperor Elend Venture hopes to find clues left behind by the Lord Ruler that will allow him to save the world. Vin is consumed with guilt at having been tricked into releasing the mystic force known as Ruin from the Well. Ruin wants to end the world, and its near omniscience and ability to warp reality make stopping it seem impossible. She can't even discuss it with Elend lest Ruin learn their plans!
