Описание: In the tradition of Wishtree and You May Already Be a Winner, this hopeful middle grade novel tells the story of three former friends who must come together at their annual town carnival to heal and reconnect after a tragedy. The small town of Clarkville has seen better days. Ever since the Cohen factory burned down a few years ago, jobs are scarce and unemployment is high. But each year for one night the Carnival of Wishes and Dreams comes to town and everyone gets to indulge in a little wonder and delight. And for three girls who each receive notes asking them to meet the anonymous sender at midnight at the Ferris Wheel, it's an evening that promises to be truly magical. Audrey McKinley can't believe someone would ask her to ride the Ferris Wheel. Everyone in town knows she's afraid of heights; the last time she rode the Ferris Wheel it ended with her having a panic attack. But ever since her dad lost his job after the Cohen factory burned down he's been working too little. The carnival gives him a chance for some seasonal work, and she plans to spend the evening checking up on him and making sure he does his job. Maybe she'll face her fears tonight, after all. Grace Chang isn't supposed to go to the carnival. It's too close to the burned remains of the old Cohen factory--the place where her firefighter father lost his life. And they always rode the Ferris Wheel together, so that's also something Grace isn't supposed to do. But since her mom just announced they'll be moving away from Clarkville the day after the carnival, Grace is sick of only doing things she's supposed to do. She'll be at the carnival. And she is definitely riding that Ferris Wheel. Harlow Cohen is surprised anyone would want to ride the Ferris Wheel with her. Harlow used to be popular. But ever since her grandparents' old factory burned down and so many people lost their jobs, many of the kids at school blame her--and her rich family--for their own parents' worsening economic situations. Harlow can never resist a dare, but when a note arrives asking her to meet an anonymous person at the Ferris Wheel at midnight, she's far from certain it will be a friend waiting for her. Can these three girls put their differences aside long enough for their wishes to come true? And is it possible to save a friendship that once seemed lost for good?

Описание:
Our amorous and erotic experiences do not simply bring us pleasure; they shape our very identities, our ways of relating to ourselves, each other and our shared world. This volume challenges some of our most prevalent assumptions relating to identity, the body, monogamy, libido, sexual identity, seduction, fidelity, orgasm, and more. In twelve original and philosophically thought-provoking essays, the authors reflect on the broader meanings of love and sex: what their shifting historical meanings entail for us in the present; how they are constrained by social conventions; the ambiguous juxtaposition of agency and passivity that they reveal; how they shape and are formed by political institutions; the opportunities they present to resist the confines of gender and sexual orientation; how cultural artefacts can become incorporated into the body; and how love and sex both form and justify our ethical world views. Ideal for students both in philosophy and gender studies, this highly readable book takes us to the very heart of two of the most important dimensions of human experience and meaning-making: to the seductive and alluring, confusing and frustrating, realms of love and sex.
Imagine being 20 years old, leaving your home to go to another country--alone and unable to communicate
This is the story of a young man leaving his home in Sweden to find the "streets of gold" in America. There are seven journals that are rich in information about his journey. It includes the cost of living during the early 1900's, both monetary and personal. It is a story of hardship, disappointment, struggle, and limitless tenacity all done with a pragmatic sense of humor and eloquence. Albrekt's experiences were full of topics which you will recognize from locations to politics to famous people to events and his opinions of the World War I for which he was drafted to fight for America.
It is a running commentary in which he saw Sarah Bernhard perform, Axel Skovgaard play violin, a Tent revival with Dan Shannon, the Golden Gate Park and it's exhibits and museums, San Francisco's China Town, New York City and the Hippodrome. He describes Henry Ford's automobiles as they were beginning to be a part of American culture.
You will read how life really was for immigrants from other countries at the beginning of the early 1900s---and it is a timely lesson for both immigrants and young people today who are also looking for those same "streets of gold." These journals tell how things really haven't changed much from then to now in those same struggles when starting out a new life in another country and struggling to make a good living.
