It all started with a dream... and now, the journey continues. The scenes have been set; the characters introduced. The epilogue cliffhangers in book one, MARTINKA, left us dangling, so we start off book two, TOMMY, with some huge reveals. This tangled web will keep you on the edge of your seat, straight to the end We find out who Lorenzo really is, reunite those that were separated unwillingly, and learn that the dead do not always stay dead. We travel back in time, with Tommy, to his beginning, back to the day when he was turned into a vampire. We will learn, not only that he's now been cursed, but we find out who created the "rock candy" he has been taking, what it's made of, and the fact that this bewitched burden he's now knee-deep in, is irreversible... or is it? Simultaneously, we also travel to another realm, where we find Martinka. There, we explore the mysteriously mystical vault, the magical rooms it holds, given entry... to only a few, and discover how Tink's starburst necklace is the key to answers that have long been preserved, awaiting her arrival. Just as there are many pieces to this puzzle that find their place, there are equally many questions and pieces to this jigsaw existence that are left unanswered, still. The climactic confrontation between the good guys and the bad guys is explosive, literally, and ends just as abruptly as it began. The first book took us from America, to the Czech Republic, Australia, Venezuela, Thailand, and ended up in Sardinia--Italy. In book two, we mainly stay in Sardinia--Italy, but travel to Prague--Czech Republic, Australia, our alternate realm--"Fairyland," and America, briefly. This book is narrated by eight characters, and as it winds down, we are left with five different epilogue cliffhangers, starting with Tommy, then Lorenzo, Madelina, Martinka, and last, but not by any means least, Demonica. Get ready to connect-the-dots, and to mystically be blown away And yes, our tangled web is now growing... stay tuned, Demonica is on her way...
Skilled Hands, Strong Spirits follows the history of the Building and Construction Trades Department from the emergence of building trades councils in the age of the skyscraper; through treacherous fights over jurisdiction as new building materials and methods of work evolved; and through numerous Department campaigns to improve safety standards, work with contractors to promote unionized construction, and forge a sense of industrial unity among its fifteen (and at times nineteen) autonomous and highly diverse affiliates. Arranged chronologically, Skilled Hands, Strong Spirits is based on archival research in Department, AFL-CIO, and U.S. government records as well as numerous union journals, the local and national press, and interviews with former Department officers.
Grace Palladino makes the history of the building trades come alive. By investigating the sources of conflict and unity within the Building and Construction Trades Department over time, and demonstrating how building trades unions dealt with problems and opportunities in the past, she provides a historical context for the current generation of workers and leaders as they devise new strategies to suit their current situation.

Smart, quirky, female-centric, drenched in pop-culture references--Amy Sherman-Palladino's singular TV voice has won her legions of fans and critical appreciation over the past two decades, thanks to shows like "Gilmore Girls," "Bunheads," and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." Sherman-Palladino--the first woman ever to win Emmy Awards for both comedy writing and directing in a single year--may write about different decades and milieus, but her sensibility is unique and unmistakable throughout. Her greatest contribution may be her pantheon of unforgettable female characters, including Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham), Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel), Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy), Michelle Simms (Sutton Foster), Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein), and Miriam "Midge" Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan). In The Women of Amy Sherman-Palladino, writers from different walks of life--scholars, critics, writers, comedians, dancers--take us on a journey through the worlds of these characters, and how they have influenced their own lives. This is the second book in "The Women of" series, after The Women of David Lynch, published in June 2019. This unique series, covers great female characters in television and film.

Описание: This vintage book contains a summary of the author's experiences and experiments related to spiritualism, with a particular focus on physical phenomena. Spiritualism is a religious movement based on the belief that spirits of the deceased exist and are able to communicate with living people. It began to develop in the 1840s and had reached its peak of popularity by the 1920s, particularly in English-speaking countries. Hereward Carrington (1880 - 1958) was a famous British-born American paranormal investigator and author. His focus was telepathy, and among his subjects were many of the most well-known cases of ostensibly psychic ability of the time. Carrington wrote over 100 books on related subjects during his life. Other notable works by thus author include: "The Physical Phenomena of Spiritualism" (1907), "The Coming Science" (1908), and "Eusapia Palladino and her Phenomena" (1909). Contents include: "Earlier Investigations into Physically Phenomena", "A Poltergeist in Nova Scotia", "The Lily Dale Investigation", "My Experience as a Slate-Writing Medium ", "Phenomena Witnessed in Private Circles", "A S ance with De Witt Hough", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
Автор: Paolo Palladino Название: Biopolitics and the Philosophy of Death ISBN: 1474283004 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781474283007 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 126720.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: While the governance of human existence is organised ever-increasingly around life and its potential to proliferate beyond all limits, much critical reflection on the phenomenon is underpinned by considerations about the very negation of life, death. The challenge is to construct an alternative understanding of human existence that is truer to the complexity of the present, biopolitical moment. Palladino responds to the challenge by drawing upon philosophical, historical and sociological modes of inquiry to examine key developments in the history of biomedical understanding of ageing and death. He combines this genealogy with close reflection upon its implications for a critical and effective reading of Foucault’s and Deleuze’s foundational work on the relationship between life, death and embodied existence. Biopolitics and the Philosophy of Death proposes that the central task of contemporary critical thought is to find ways of coordinating different ways of thinking about molecules, populations and the mortality of the human organism without transforming the notion of life itself into the new transcendent truth that would take the place once occupied by God and Man.
