  “What is comfort but a filament between past and present with some sort of future implied? In other words, safety. In other words, care. I know it is possible to find these things without her—I know they are there. But it can be so hard to ask. So much is unknown.”  Rebecca Spiegel is working as a teacher in New Orleans when she learns of her sister’s suicide. Only after the funeral does shock give way to grief—and to many questions. How could Emily do this to herself? How could she have abandoned all those who loved her? And what could have been done differently to prevent this devastating loss?  In the days and weeks that follow, Spiegel embarks on a search for answers. She unpacks family history, documents the last traces of her sister’s life, and questions what more she could have done to prevent her death. What she finds instead is that there is no narrative on the other side of grief like this. There is no answer, no easy resolution—only those that leave and those that keep living. Unflinchingly honest, visceral, and raw, this courageous elegy lays bare the hard realities of surviving the loss of a loved one.

  France is a land absolutely steeped in history. It has always been a leading nation of Western Europe, and in many ways, one could say France is Western Europe.  
  One could confidently say such a thing because of the long history of French polities taking charge in world history. Before France proper even existed, the tribes there, such as the Franks, played a central role in regional affairs. For example, as the Roman Empire was falling apart, the Franks were increasingly relied upon for the security of the ailing Roman state. 
  And when Rome toppled, the Franks took it upon themselves to pick up the pieces. It was from their efforts that the so-called “Holy Roman Empire” was forged. This massive conglomerate once contained much of France and a large chunk of the rest of western and central Europe.  
  France then became a nation in its own right and would become one of the most powerful powers of Europe, with colonies all over the world. France would then undergo much internal upheaval and a revolution that would rock the whole world. It would take France generations to recover, but recover it did. Before arriving where it is today, the country would go through two world wars and a cold one. 
  In this audiobook, you will discover the following:France’s origins and its prehistoryFrance’s relations with the Roman EmpireHow the French survived the Middle AgesThe French Revolution and the impact it had on societyThe Napoleonic Wars and the changes Napoleon made in France and its coloniesFrench colonialism and a look at some of the major French coloniesFrance during the world warsPostwar and Cold War FranceModern France and what its future might holdAnd much more!

  Let's face it - relationships are hard. In the beginning, it's all fireworks and butterflies. Then life happens. 
  In Get Real, Carmel Wynne cuts through the typical relationship advice fluff and tackles what's really going on when partners drift apart. This isn't about grand romantic gestures or communication techniques. It's about understanding the unspoken 'psychological contract' between you and your partner - all those expectations neither of you ever actually said out loud but still hold each other to.
  If your relationship is still good on paper but the spark has dimmed, if intimacy has drifted or if you're simply too tired to pretend everything's perfect, this book meets you right there.
  With honest stories from couples who've walked this road, straightforward exercises you'll actually use and candid conversations about sex, resentment, and reconnection, Wynne gives you a clear path back to each other.
  
  
  Your relationship deserves better than 'fine.' It deserves real.

  The Firm Market and the Law

  R.H. Coase

  Few other economists have been read and cited as often as R.H. Coase has been, even though, as he admits, “most economists have a different way of looking at economic problems and do not share my conception of the nature of our subject.” Coase’s particular interest has been that part of economic theory that deals with firms, industries, and markets—what is known as price theory or microeconomics. He has always urged his fellow economists to examine the foundations on which their theory exists, and this volume collects some of his classic articles probing those very foundations. “The Nature of the Firm” (1937) introduced the then-revolutionary concept of transaction costs into economic theory. “The Problem of Social Cost” (1960) further developed this concept, emphasizing the effect of the law on the working of the economic system. The remaining papers and new introductory essay clarify and extend Coarse’s arguments and address his critics.“These essays bear rereading. Coase’s careful attention to actual institutions not only offers deep insight into economics but also provides the best argument for Coase’s methodological position. The clarity of the exposition and the elegance of the style also make them a pleasure to read and a model worthy of emulation.”—Lewis A. Kornhauser, Journal of Economic LiteratureRonald H. Coase was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Science in 1991.
