Becoming her sole means of expression, the diary is her only constant and her only friend. From being torn from her mother, her mother’s free-spirited and loving boyfriend, and her childhood city of Cienfuegos, to living with her abusive father, an alcoholic theater actor, to her forced induction as a Cuban “revolutionary Pioneer,” Nieve records in honest detail a life in which she is powerless as she loses the people and freedom she loves.Mirroring the author's own experiences between the ages of eight and twenty, Everyone Leaves paints a vivid portrait of family life and social and political unrest in Castro's Cuba while exploring how the patriarchal and conformist notions of the Revolution betrayed the nation's women.Translated from the Spanish by Achy Obejas
Consent Laid Bare: Sex, Entitlement, and the Distortion of Desire
by Chanel ContosThe game-changing book about sex, consent, and the distortion of desire, a battle cry from a generation no longer prepared to stay silent.When activist and internationally renowned philanthropist, Chanel Contos asked her followers to share their stories of sexual assault, her post went viral. Almost 7,000 people provided testimonies of surviving sexual violence by people they knew, but virtually none of these incidents had been reported to authorities. The testimonies proved that sexual assault is widespread and Chanel was on a quest to understand why. In an era of growing inequality, Contos argues that when it comes to sex, we are all still working with an outdated social contract that privileges cisgender men's pleasure at the expense of humanity.In Consent Laid Bare, Chanel challenges the rampant inequality that reinforces violent behavior and questions whether consent is possible in a world where female sexuality has been hijacked. She offers girls and women the tools and encouragement to seek sex that is truly enjoyable which involves:Redefining consentChallenging gender normsLanguage's influence on rape discourseUnderstanding fawning responses Equipping teens to combat toxic masculinityChanel's message of fostering empathy is especially urgent in the face of rising rates of toxic messages about masculinity and manhood that are targeting our young men.

Why Was Billy Bunter Never Really Expelled?
by Dennis Butts“After the success of How Did Long John Silver Lose His Leg?, Dennis Butts and Peter Hunt take their forensic lenses to more mysteries that have troubled readers of children’s books over the centuries. Their questions range from the historical to the philosophical, some of which are puzzling, some of which are controversial: Why does it seem there are no Nursery Rhymes before 1744? Why did God start to die in children's books long before Nietzsche noticed it? Why are the schoolgirls at Enid Blyton's St Clare's so horrible? Why are there so many dead parents littering children's books? Why does C.S. Lewis annoy so many people? Why Was Billy Bunter Never Really Expelled? also reveals how an elephant captures Adolph Hitler, who was Biggles's great love, and whose side G.A. Henty was on in the American Civil War, and delivers a plethora of erudite, entertaining answers to questions that you may not have thought of asking. And notably, of course, it explains why William George Bunter, the Fat Owl of the Remove, was never permanently removed from Greyfriars School.”

Graysons Herausforderung (Scanguards Vampire)
by Tina FolsomGrayson Woodford, eigensinniger Erbe des Scanguards-Imperiums, ärgert sich über die Pläne seines Vaters Samson, ihn mit der Tochter eines alten Freundes zu verkuppeln. Die Vampirhybridin Monique Montague ist genauso sauer auf ihren Vater Cain, den Vampirkönig von Louisiana, weil dieser sie dazu überreden will, Grayson zu daten. Aus ihrer gemeinsamen Kindheit hat sie diesen als verwöhnt und arrogant in Erinnerung. Deshalb weigert sie sich, mit zur Silvesterparty zu kommen, bei der sie Grayson treffen soll, und reißt stattdessen in einer Bar einen Fremden auf, um mit diesem eine Nacht lang wilden Sex zu haben. Was sie nicht weiß, ist, dass der Fremde kein anderer als Grayson ist. Nach einer leidenschaftlichen Nacht stellt eine Entführung plötzlich ihre Welt auf den Kopf und unwillkürlich treffen sie wieder aufeinander. Zur Zusammenarbeit gezwungen, müssen sie ihre Vorurteile überwinden, um ihre Familien zu retten. Lara Adrian, New York Times Bestseller Autorin der Midnight Breed Serie: "Ich bin süchtig nach Tina Folsoms Büchern! Die Scanguards Serie ist eine der heißesten Sachen, die es bei Vampirliebesromanen gibt. Wenn Sie glühend heiße, sich rasant entwickelnde Romane lieben, dann verpassen Sie diese packende Serie nicht!" Über die Serie Die Scanguards Vampirserie ist voll von rasanter Action, brennenden Liebesszenen, witzigen Dialogen und starken Helden und Heldinnen. Vampir Samson Woodford lebt in San Francisco und besitzt die Sicherheits-/Leibwächterfirma Scanguards, die sowohl Vampire als auch Menschen beschäftigt. Und letztendlich auch einige Hexer. Später in der Serie tauchen auch ein paar unsterbliche Hüter und Dämonen auf. Jedes Buch kann als alleinstehender Roman gelesen werden (keine Cliffhanger) und dreht sich immer um ein neues Paar, das die Liebe findet, aber die Serie macht mehr Spaß, wenn sie chronologisch gelesen wird.

The Story of Infant Development
by Martha Harris Romana NegriThis book brings together the closely observed development of Simone (from birth to three) and the perceptive comments of Martha (or Mattie) Harris, who was such an influential figure in the development of the Observational Studies Course at the Tavistock. Romana Negri's pioneering work on neonatal intensive care units is informed both by infant observation and by psychoanalysis. She presents in this volume the transcribed tapes of her detailed observation of a normally developing infant, whom Martha Harris supervised for three years. Other chapters present observations of children in hospital that formed part of their diagnostic assessment, and the book includes commentaries by Donald Meltzer and Martha Harris together. This book will be of outstanding interest to all readers whether parents, teachers, or mental health professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of the roots of mental life.
The Bonhoeffer Legacy (6/1 2018): An International Journal
by UnknownThe Bonhoeffer Legacy: An International Journal is a fully refereed academic journal aimed principally at providing an outlet for an ever expanding Bonhoeffer scholarship in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific region, as well as being open to article submissions from Bonhoeffer scholars throughout the world. It also aims to elicit and encourage future and ongoing scholarship in the field. The focus of the journal, captured in the notion of 'Legacy', is on any aspect of Bonhoeffer's life, theology and political action that is relevant to his immense contribution to twentieth century events and scholarship. 'Legacy' can be understood as including those events and ideas that contributed to Bonhoeffer's own development, those that constituted his own context or those that have developed since his time as a result of his work. The editors encourage and welcome any scholarship that contributes to the journal's aims. The journal also has book reviews.
