Sinopse

In "Burning Sands," Arthur E. P. Brome Weigall presents a powerful narrative that delves into the complexities of the human experience, set against the backdrop of the harsh desert landscape. Weigall's prose is characterized by its vivid imagery and lyrical quality, capturing both the beauty and brutality of life in arid environments. The novel reflects the zeitgeist of early 20th-century literature, where themes of existentialism and survival intertwine, offering readers a profound exploration of the characters' inner struggles amid the unforgiving sands of time and fate. Arthur E. P. Brome Weigall was an esteemed British author and journalist, whose extensive travels throughout North Africa and the Middle East informed much of his writing. Known for his deep understanding of different cultures, Weigall's experiences shaped his perspective on human resilience and the interplay between nature and society. His keen observations during adventures in some of the world'Äôs most unforgiving terrains provide a rich context for the narrative in "Burning Sands," making it an authentic representation of endurance in extreme conditions. For readers seeking a profound literary journey that marries an evocative setting with deep philosophical reflections, "Burning Sands" is a must-read. Weigall's ability to weave intricate characters and their stories against the vast backdrop of a relentless desert ensures that this novel resonates on both emotional and intellectual levels, making it a significant addition to the canon of early modern literature.

    What makes the human mind so unique? And how did we get this way? 
     
     
     
    This fascinating tale explores the three leaps in our history that made us what we are—and will change how you think about our future. 
     
     
     
    Look around. Clearly, we humans are radically different from the other creatures on this planet. But why? Where are the Bronze Age beavers? The Iron Age iguanas? In Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think, Byron Reese argues that we owe our special status to our ability to imagine the future and recall the past, escaping the perpetual present that all other living creatures are trapped in. 
     
      
      
    Envisioning human history as the development of a societal superorganism he names Agora, Reese shows us how this escape enabled us to share knowledge on an unprecedented scale, and predict—and eventually master—the future. 
     
     
      
    Thoughtful and witty, this must-listen book unravels our history as an intelligent species in three acts. A fresh new look at the history and destiny of humanity, listeners will come away from Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think with a new understanding of what they are—not just another animal, but a creature with a mastery of time itself.

    A Lambda Literary Award Finalist: from "an extraordinary new voice," a "passionate and clear-eyed and unputdownable" meditation on queerness, family, and desire (Mary Karr).For as long as they can remember, Cyrus Grace Dunham felt like a visitor in their own body. Their life was a series of imitations—lovable little girl, daughter, sister, young gay woman—until their profound sense of alienation became intolerable.Moving between Grace and Cyrus, Dunham brings us inside the chrysalis of gender transition, asking us to bear witness to an uncertain and exhilarating process that troubles our most basic assumptions about who we are and how we are constituted. Written with disarming emotional intensity in a voice uniquely theirs, A Year Without a Name is a potent, thrillingly unresolved queer coming of age story.Named one of Fall 2019's Most Anticipated Books by:TimeNYLONVogueELLEBuzzfeed BustleO MagazineHarper's Bazaar

    Patriarchy Inc - What We Get...

    Work remains much as it always has: men occupy the vast majority of leadership roles and are overrepresented in positions from engineer to plumber. We see many jobs as "male" or "female," with women dominating in healthcare and childcare professions. Pretending that this is the natural state of things―or that, instead, both sexes should submit to working 24/7—is just not right. 
     
     
     
    In Patriarchy Inc., Cordelia Fine examines with razor-sharp and quick-witted analysis why gender inequality is embedded in the workplace and why it has to change. Drawing on theories from evolutionary science, psychology, economics, and sociology, she examines two of the most prominent movements in the corporate world. The Different But Equal viewpoint espouses that women are in the jobs they want despite their lower status and salaries. In the meantime, DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) has become a slogan that emphasizes productivity and profit, not fair play. Fine shows how both are wrong and the bad effects on everyone when men are still stuck in traditional breadwinner roles and women are having to fight for their due. 
     
     
     
    Offering perceptive and much-needed insight into the current state of work, Patriarchy Inc. explores how we can get closer to achieving equality, even if it means upturning business as usual.

    “This engrossing collection of historical Midwest murders reads like a thriller. True crime at its best. I couldn’t put it down.” —Susan Furlong, author of the Bone Gap Travellers novels 
     
    A modern retelling of 20 sensational true crimes, No Place Like Murder reveals the inside details behind nefarious acts that shocked the Midwest between 1869 and 1950. The stories chronicle the misdeeds, examining the perpetrators’ mindsets, motives, lives, apprehensions, and trials, as well as what became of them long after. 
     
    True crime author Janis Thornton profiles notorious murderers such as Frankie Miller, who was fed up when her fiancé stood her up for another woman. As fans of the song “Frankie and Johnny” already know, Frankie met her former lover at the door with a shotgun. 
     
    Thornton’s tales reveal the darker side of life in the Midwest, including the account of Isabelle Messmer, a plucky young woman who dreamed of escaping her quiet farm-town life. After she nearly took down two tough Pittsburgh policemen in 1933, she was dubbed “Gun Girl” and went on to make headlines from coast to coast. In 1942, however, after a murder conviction in Texas, she vowed to do her time and go straight. Full of intrigue and revelations, No Place Like Murder also features such folks as Chirka and Rasico, the first two Hoosier men to die in the electric chair after they brutally murdered their wives in 1913. The two didn’t meet until their fateful last night. 
     
    An enthralling and chilling collection, No Place Like Murder is sure to thrill true crime lovers. 
     
    “Thornton wittily describes heretofore unheralded true crime stories from Indiana’s small towns.” —Keven McQueen, author of Horror in the Heartland
