Kaddy Chaak's career is in jeopardy, her social life is non-existent, and instead of spending the holidays at home with everyone she loves, she's in the hospital with her chronically-ill, probably-dying nephew Everett, wondering if her dead sister could have fixed this. The one bright note in an otherwise bleak winter is a potential visit from the Polar Terror, the only super villain north of the 66th parallel, to make little Everett's hospital wish come true.
Kaddy's not really expecting him to show. At best, she expects a lackluster cosplayer with a half-hour to spare.
But what she gets is a swoon-worthy stranger full of secrets, who might just sweep her off her feet--and maybe help her leave the past behind, once and for all.
A heart-warming stand-alone addition to the popular Heroes and Villains series.

If you believe the rumors you know that Doctor Charm, the wickedly sexy super villain, retired in shame seven years ago after his last fight with the super hero Zephyr Girl. The fact that the charming Evan Smith--father of four and husband of the too-beautiful-to-be-real Tabitha--bears a resemblance to the defeated Doctor is pure coincidence. And, please, ignore the minions.
Everything is perfect in the Smith household, until Tabitha announces her return to work as a super hero. Evan was hoping to keep her distracted until after he rigged the presidential election, but--genius that he is--Evan has a backup plan. In his basement lab, Evan has a machine whose sole purpose is keeping Tabitha hungry for him.
But children and labs don't mix. The machine is broken, and Tabitha storms out, claiming she no longer knows him. World domination takes a back seat to meeting his daughters' demands to get Mommy back right now. This time his genius isn't going to be enough--he's going to need both his evil alter-ego, and the blooming super abilities of his children to save his wife. But even his most charming self might not be enough to save their marriage.

Selena Caryll lost everything in the war--her ship, her crew, her family. Although technically on the winner's side, her lack of crew makes her easy pickings in any fight--and any bar brawl. But she never goes down without swinging.
Titan Sciarra, on the losing side of the war, brokered a kind of peace with the winners, enough to let him live as the fragile bridge between the two sides. As a Fleet Guardian, he deals with the day-to-day operations of the fleet--and breaks up bar brawls when necessary.
As a Guardian, obviously he should walk the fired-up Selena home. Make sure she gets there safe.
Definitely without flirting. That could bring his delicately spun balance crashing down, dragging the fleet with him.
If only a way existed to get the bodies of the fleet into motion again.
An action-packed enemies-to-lovers romance in a world drawn with stunning vision and depth--don't miss this fantastic series from Liana Brooks.

One of the most influential anthropological works of the last two decades, Alfred Gell’s Art and Agency is a provocative and ambitious work that both challenged and reshaped anthropological understandings of art, agency, creativity and the social. It has become a touchstone in contemporary artifact-based scholarship. This volume brings together leading anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians and other scholars into an interdisciplinary dialogue with Art and Agency, generating a timely re-engagement with the themes, issues and arguments at the heart of Gell’s work, which remains salient, and controversial, in the social sciences and humanities. Extending his theory into new territory – from music to literary technology and ontology to technological change – the contributors do not simply take stock, but also provoke, critically reassessing this important work while using it to challenge conceptual and disciplinary boundaries.

Автор: Liana M. Daher Название: Understanding Social Conflict: The Relationship between Sociology and History ISBN: 886977161X ISBN-13(EAN): 9788869771613 Издательство: Marston Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 26400.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Since the beginning of the last century Weber argued the indissoluble link between sociology and history. His approach saw the relationship between history and sociology as based on (a) mutual and essential support, and (b) logical priority, according to which, paraphrasing sociologist Alessandro Cavalli, “sociology without history is blind, history without sociology is mute.” The lesson of the «Annales» definitively confirmed the indissoluble link between history and social sciences, on the basis of a strongly and strategically interdisciplinary analysis. However, at present sociology and history continue to cooperate all too rarely in the context of interdisciplinary research. There is no question that social conflict – and social ambiguities – is a common ground of research both for sociology and history. Through the analysis of social conflict this book aims at providing argumentative issues concerning the above link, and showing meaningful convergences between the two disciplines. This in order to offer innovative spaces of discourse around the theory and methodology of research, and some areas of yesterday and today social conflicts.
