  Young Prince Thomas is a spoilt brat.  
    
  As punishment for his behavior he is sold to the cruel Earl to cook and clean and be his loyal servant. 
    
  But to remain anonymous—and teach him a lesson—he is cursed... he must endure servitude as the beautiful, petite and buxom Belle. She finds out the Earl has gained his ravenous reputation because he has been cursed as well—turned into a half-beast of a man. 
    
  What you’ve heard is a myth. It isn’t true love’s kiss which breaks curses—it takes something much more powerful. Like some good, hard thrusting. 
    
  But will Belle want to be “cured”?

  T. W. Adorno (1903-1969) was a German philosopher and social and cultural theorist. His work has come to be seen as increasingly relevant to understanding the pathologies of contemporary society evident in today's climate emergency, the financial crash, the reappearance of fascism in many countries, and the growing instability of the world order. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction covers Adorno's work and life, explaining his key philosophical concepts and the philosophical background and historical context of Adorno's thinking. Andrew Bowie shows how Adorno's exploration of why human reason can have irrational consequences led him to rethink basic concepts like 'nature', 'history', and 'freedom', offering alternatives to many ways of thinking about these concepts in contemporary philosophy. The book also examines Adorno's social theory, as well as his highly critical assessments of jazz and modern culture, which he considered threatened by the effects of modern capitalism.

  Māori journalism in Aotearoa New Zealand has become a vibrant industry, reporting through
  print, radio, television and the internet. This book looks at the history of Māori journalism and the
  elements that make it what it is today. The \author examines the way that news values common in English-speaking countries are reinterpreted for a Māori worldview and analyses news stories to
  show how Māori perspectives are expressed. She also identifies how elements of whaikōrero have
  been refashioned for news and the ways tapu and noa are managed by news teams. A host of well-known reporters share their perspectives on their work. They describe how they got into reporting, and we learn what happens as they gather information and produce their stories. In particular, we see how these journalists balance the demands of journalism and tikanga.

  Transportation is the lifeblood of urban ecosystems, a complex network of movement that defines how cities breathe, function, and evolve. More than mere infrastructure of roads, rails, and vehicles, urban transportation represents a sophisticated dance of human mobility, technological innovation, economic strategy, and social connectivity. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate world of Urban Transportation, examining the economic dynamics, technological transformations, and emerging paradigms that are reshaping how people and goods move through increasingly complex metropolitan landscapes. 
  The narrative of urban mobility is a profound reflection of human ingenuity and adaptation, where technological advances, environmental challenges, and changing social needs converge to reimagine transportation systems. By tracing the historical development, current challenges, and future possibilities of urban transportation, this book unveils the multifaceted strategies that cities are developing to create more efficient, sustainable, and inclusive mobility networks. Readers will journey through the intersections of technological innovation, economic planning, environmental sustainability, and social equity—discovering how emerging transportation solutions are not just about moving from point A to point B, but about fundamentally redesigning the way cities function, connect, and support human potential in an increasingly complex and dynamic urban world.
