New York Times and USA Today Bestseller From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You and Be with Me comes a daring tale that pushes boundaries . . . At 21, Calla hasn't done a lot of things. She’s never been kissed, never seen the ocean, never gone to an amusement park. But growing up, she witnessed some things no child ever should. She still carries the physical and emotional scars of living with a strung-out mother, Mona—secrets she keeps from everyone, including her close circle of college friends. But the safe cocoon Calla has carefully built is shattered when she discovers her mom has stolen her college money and run up a huge credit card debt in her name. Now, Calla has to go back to the small town she thought shed left behind and clean up her mom’s mess again. Of course, when she arrives at her mother’s bar, Mona is nowhere to be found. Instead, six feet of hotness named Jackson James is pouring drinks and keeping the place humming. Sexy and intense, Jax is in Calla’s business from they moment they meet, giving her a job and helping her search for Mona.

Before Calla can let him get close, though, she’s got to deal with the pain of the past—and some very bad guys out to mess her up if she doesn't give them her mom.

Dietro le quinte del mondo della moda non è tutto glamour quello che luccica
Dopo essere stata lasciata dal fidanzato storico, Angela ha il cuore spezzato e il morale a terra. Essere assunta da una prestigiosa agenzia di moda londinese, quindi, sembra proprio l'occasione ideale per ricominciare da capo. In realtà Angela non sa assolutamente nulla di moda, e con la sua taglia 42 viene considerata scandalosamente sovrappeso, ma ha la testa piena di sogni e di entusiasmo. Ben presto si renderà conto di essere atterrata su un altro pianeta, tanto magico e scintillante quanto folle: un mondo dove al colloquio di lavoro il fattore determinante è indossare le scarpe dello stilista giusto, non il curriculum; dove le torte di compleanno si annusano (e poi si buttano via), non si mangiano; dove i cagnolini viziati delle star viaggiano in prima classe; dove a trent'anni il botox è già un must; dove a dettare legge sono l'hair stylist e il make-up artist. E soprattutto dove, tra una vendita di campionario e un party esclusivo, rischi seriamente di ritrovarti con il conto in rosso e di allontanare da te le persone che ami davvero. Oltre a svelare i retroscena più assurdi, divertenti e piccanti dell'industria del glamour, I love fashion racconta la favola moderna di una ragazza come tante alla ricerca della felicità, del vero amore e dell'autentica se stessa.

Een mysterieus eiland. Een verlaten weeshuis. Een vreemde verzameling foto's. Als kind had Jacob al een speciale band met zijn opa Abraham. Die vertelde zijn kleinzoon bizarre verhalen over zijn jeugd in een weeshuis voor bijzondere kinderen. Opa illustreerde zijn verhalen met oude, echt uitziende foto's. Jaren later komt de oude Abraham op een gewelddadige manier aan zijn eind. De inmiddels zestienjarige Jacob reist naar een afgelegen eiland voor de kust van Wales, waar hij de ruïne vindt van het tehuis waar zijn opa gewoond heeft. Als Jacob het huis verkent, blijkt dat de jeugdvrienden van Abraham meer dan bijzonder waren. Misschien was er wel een goede reden om hen in afzondering op het eiland te laten wonen. En misschien leven ze nog steeds ... Wat volgt is afwisselend wonderbaarlijk, aandoenlijk en huiveringwekkend.

Дали кралят на Бутан е визионер, щом е въвел Брутното Национално Щастие като национален приоритет? Защо жителите на Ашвил, Северна Каролина, са толкова доволни от живота? Къде живеят най-щастливите хора на света? Преведеният ня 19 езика бестселър на Ню Йорк Таймс "География на блаженството" е увлекателен разказ, изтъкан от психология, геополитика, наука, пътешествия и хумор, един провокативен и забавен анализ на това какво е щастието, какво не е и къде можем да го открием.
In her ground-breaking reporting from Iraq, Naomi Klein exposed how the trauma of invasion was being exploited to remake the country in the interest of foreign corporations. She called it "disaster capitalism." Covering Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, and New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment" losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers. The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq.

By capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, Klein argues that the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is th
