Kiss of Tragedy

Autor: Stephanie Van Orman

Número de Páginas: 315

Juliet Hudson looks like spring. After all, she’s only eighteen years old and attending her first semester of university. Yet, even though Juliet’s eyes are clear and her heart as unspotted as the Virgin Goddess herself, she has her secrets. The least of which is that she loves darkness. Not only does she join an occult club, but she falls head over heels for a man who looks and acts exactly like a vampire. Seth, with his black hair, white skin and three perfect bite marks down the side of his neck. Juliet is convinced he is the vampire of her dreams. It would be perfect if something strange didn’t happen when they kiss. When his lips touch hers, she’s thrown into a world where violence is normal, romance and danger become the same thing, and where a simple kiss can lead to destruction.

“Told with humor and heart, this is a story of right versus wrong” set in the secret world of sorority life at the University of Mississippi (Atlanta Journal-Constitution). Cali Watkins possesses all the qualities sororities are looking for in a pledge. She’s kind and intelligent, makes friends easily, even plans to someday run for governor. But her resume lacks a vital ingredient. Pedigree. Without family money Cali’s chances of sorority membership are already thin, but she has an even bigger problem. If anyone discovers the dark family secrets she’s hiding, she’ll be dropped from Rush in an instant. Lilith Whitmore is the well-heeled House Corp President of Alpha Delta Beta, one of the premiere sororities on campus. And she has a devious plan to ensure her own daughter receives an Alpha Delt bid—no matter what. For twenty-five years, Miss Pearl has been housekeeper and a second mother to the Alpha Delt girls. When she’s denied a well-deserved promotion, the injustice sets off a chain of events that will change Alpha Delta Beta—and maybe the entire Greek system—forever. Funny and poignant, Rush spins a heartfelt story that offers a rare inside look at a...

Tris: 2. Vipers’ Nest by Morgan Bruce The second installment of the intriguing new sequel to the Alexei, Accidental Angel series, aka “The Angel heptalogy” Having survived the ordeal of being taken over by Ahaitan – an angel who has turned evil – Tris tries to start living on the island with his new parents. The exorcism that was necessary to remove Ahaitan’s influence has left him with no memory of events beyond the plane crash that killed his parents. Not remembering any of the hurt he caused while under Ahaitan’s influence, Tris is puzzled as to why he is suddenly being treated as an outcast by some on the island, to the extent that none of the other children are allowed to have him as a friend. The unexpected chance to help an old school friend inevitably reacquaints him with his past, and the misguided actions of a manipulative uncle who runs an American church group. This leads Tris to not only realise why he is being ostracised, but also gives him a path to redemption.

Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

Autor: Donovin Arleigh Sprague

Número de Páginas: 132

Choctaw are the largest tribe belonging to the branch of the Muskogean family that includes the Chickasaw, Creek (Muscogee), and Seminole. According to oral history, the tribe originated from Nanih Waya, a sacred hill near present-day Noxapater, Mississippi. Nanih Waya means "productive or fruitful hill, or mountain." During one of their migrations, they carried a tree that would lean, and every day the people would travel in the direction the tree was leaning. They traveled east and south for sometime until the tree quit leaning, and the people stopped to make their home at this location, in present-day Mississippi. The people have made difficult transitions throughout their history. In 1830, the Choctaw who were removed by the United States from their southeastern U.S. homeland to Indian Territory became known as the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.

¿Qué sucedería si te reencontrases con tu primer amor? Nicholas Moir y Giselle Joyce se hicieron amigos desenterrando deseos que los habitantes de Deaton Crest escondían bajo las flores de la plaza del pueblo. Pidieron un deseo en voz baja: volverse a ver. No imaginaron que el destino lo cumpliría de la peor forma, provocando que los Joyce acogieran a Nicholas en su hogar tras el fatal accidente de los Moir. Cuando la tragedia vuelve a unir sus caminos tras cuatro años separados, los retales de la historia de amor que mantuvieron a escondidas durante la adolescencia vuelven a latir. Regresan el rumor de la playa, el jardín de amapolas, los besos de buenas noches que erizaban la piel... Y cada velada observando el cielo nocturno que dictaminaba las horas que podían pasar juntos. Los corazones tienen memoria y los suyos se niegan a olvidar. Pero ¿es posible seguir enamorado de alguien con el transcurso del tiempo o solo nos aferramos al calor de los recuerdos?

Familicide, Gender and the Media

Autor: Denise Buiten

Número de Páginas: 317

​This book examines the complex issue of familicide-suicide – the murder of a partner and children followed by suicide. The purpose of the book is two-fold: to advance a feminist sociological analysis of familicide as a form of gender-based violence, and to examine how it is reported on in news. The first section contextualises interpretations of familicide against the dual ascendancy of – and contestation around - feminist and mental illness discourses in public policy and debate. Advancing a feminist sociological analysis of familicide-suicide, it shows the value of ‘continuum thinking’ for understanding complex and varied forms of gender-based violence. Section Two examines Australian news reporting on familicide-suicide, showing the ways cultural assumptions about domestic and family violence and mental illness shape news reporting. It analyses how discourses of gender, disability, age, and the ‘family’ serve to rationalise certain news frames and reflects on the thorny ethical issues inherent in reporting on familicide. Arguing for a nuanced approach to gender-based violence and how it is reported, this book will be of interest for scholars of gender and...

The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010.

Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows.

Annihilating Noise

Autor: Paul Hegarty

Número de Páginas: 297

Noise has become a model of cultural and theoretical thinking over the last two decades. Following Hegarty's influential 2007 book, Noise/Music, Annihilating Noise discusses in sixteen essays how noise offers a way of thinking about critical resistance, disruptive creativity and a complex yet enticing way of understanding the unexpected, the dissonant, the unfamiliar. It presents noise as a negativity with no fixed identity that can only be defined in connection and opposition to meaning and order. This book reaches beyond experimental music and considers noise as an idea and practice within a wide range of frameworks including social, ecological, and philosophical perspectives. It introduces the ways in which the disruptive implications of noise impact our ways of thinking, acting, and organizing in the world, and applies it to 21st-century concerns and today's technological ecology.
