The Celestial City Baroness Emmuska Orczy - A beautiful young cat burglar is released from prison and flees her former life and criminal family for the Continent where she reinvents herself. Published in 1926 but in the rather lush prose of pre-war thrillers.
Up to 90% of adults in the US will experience one or more traumatic events in their lifetimes, including interpersonal violence, traffic collisions, and sexual assault. While most who suffer a trauma naturally recover over time, for others difficulties continue, and may lead to full-blown depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance use, anxiety disorders, and other problems that interfere with healthy daily functioning. Making Meaning of Difficult Experiences is a self-guided mental health resource for people who have had potentially traumatic experiences and who wish to work through them independently, outside of a formal therapeutic setting. Based on psychological treatments with strong scientific support, this book introduces listeners to several useful tools that will help them to emotionally process difficult experiences, with the goal of moving on from the event and building future resilience. The program takes the listener step-by-step through four skill sets to facilitate emotional processing of difficult experiences: Memory Exposure and Processing, Behavioral Activation, Social Connection, and Self-Care. Listeners use this self-evaluation to determine what is working or not working for them, enabling them to focus more on certain skills, or to complete the full program based on their needs.Mostra libro
First published in 1925, set 'one Wednesday in mid-June', Mrs Dalloway charts the lives of several characters across a day in London.

Weaving a multitude of voices and eras into one, dressed in the most beautiful of language, Mrs Dalloway has earned its reputation as one of the most iconic novels of the twentieth century and great successes of Modernist fiction. This edition also contains 'Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street', the short story upon which the novel is modelled.Mostra libro

This book consists of two titles, which are: Border Control: In today’s interconnected world, the challenge of managing borders has become one of the most contentious issues facing governments, societies, and international organizations. Border control, at its core, is a delicate balance between maintaining national security and upholding human rights, between enforcing laws and fostering economic opportunities. As global mobility increases through migration, trade, and technology, managing borders has evolved into a complex issue that transcends national boundaries. It’s no longer just a matter of controlling who enters and exits a country; it’s about managing flows of people, goods, information, and even ideas in ways that protect citizens while also adhering to international law. Refugees: The refugee crisis is one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges of our time. Across the globe, millions of individuals are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, persecution, and natural disasters. These displaced individuals, known as refugees, face an uncertain future, often enduring unimaginable hardships in their quest for safety and stability. As of recent estimates, more than 100 million people have been forcibly displaced, with a significant portion seeking refuge in countries that already face their own social, political, and economic challenges. The sheer scale and complexity of the crisis demand urgent attention from governments, international organizations, and civil society to find sustainable solutions.Mostra libro
