The Spring of Candy Apples (A Sweet Seasons Novel #4)
by Debbie ViguiéThey’re fun! They’re quirky! They’re Sweet Seasons—unlike any other girls’ books you’ve ever read. You could call them alternative, God-honoring chick lit. Join Candy Thompson on a sweet, lighthearted, and honest romp through the friendships, romances, family, school, faith, and values that make a girl’s lie as full as it can be. It’s the end of Candace’s senior year, and life’s getting sticky. A promotion to The Zone’s Candy Counter means Candace gets to create gooey treats all day long. She is a finalist for The Zone’s college scholarship (Florida anyone?), things with Kurt are getting really weird, and she’s bothered by all the questions about her future. Not unlike the challenge of making candy apples, Candace struggles to resist getting stuck and believe in what is truly at her core.
The Teaching of Biology: A Handbook for Teachers of Junior Classes (Routledge Revivals)
by Ethel M. PoultonFirst published in 1931, the original blurb reads: "A practical handbook for those who are engaged in teaching elementary biology (Nature Study) to children of 10-13 years. Part I is devoted to general methods of teaching the subject. Part II consists of subject matter suitable for lessons, together with suggestions as to practical work and classroom procedure." It was hoped that this work would help the move away from the tradition, still prevalent at the time, where observation of minute details and absence of associated physiological work left the children with little interest in the subject. This book would contribute to a type of teaching where more regard was paid to the ‘livingness’ of the organism, resulting in the deepening of the pupil’s enjoyment of the beauty of animate nature. Today it can be read in its historical context.
The Travel Tales of Mr Joseph Jorkens (Jorkens)
by Lord DunsanyThe Travel Tales of Mr. Joseph Jorkens, the first collection of Dunsany's Jorkens tales to be published, containing thirteen short pieces.The Jorkens stories are set in the London gentleman's or adventurer's club of which the title character is a member. They usually open with another member mentioning an interesting experience he has had; this rouses Jorkens, who in return for a whisky-and-soda (merely to "moisten his throat," you understand!) goes the other member one better with an extraordinary tall tale, supposedly from his own past. His stories often tip well over the boundaries of the plausible, into the realms of fantasy, horror, or even science fiction, and his auditors can never be quite sure what proportion of what he relates was truly experienced and to what degree he might have embellished.
The Trial of Jeanne d'Arc (Routledge Revivals)
by W. P. BarrettFirst published in 1931, this is the first unabridged English translation of the documents pertaining to the trial of Joan of Arc. The basis of the translation is drawn from an edition of the text published in 1841 by Jules Quicherat, but elements are also derived from a number of the manuscripts originally translated into Latin. As notes were taken daily by several scribes, the text provides important insight into the trial, its chronology and its major players, as well as Joan’s character and intellect. With a detailed introduction and beautiful illustrations, this is a fascinating reissue that will be of value to students of medieval history, particularly those with an interest in medieval hagiography, heresy during the fourteenth century, ecclesiastical law and the practice of Church courts.

by Jerry L. SittserPractical help for understanding and following God’s will for your life “God has a plan for our lives,” but what does that mean in practical terms?

No matter what decisions we’ve already made, he points out that it is still possible to live out God’s perfect will—even if we think we’ve married the wrong person, chosen the wrong career, or landed in some kind of serious trouble. This new edition includes study questions designed to help individuals or groups who are faced with decisions—large or small.
The Will to Live: An Outline of Evolutionary Psychology (Psychology Revivals)
by J.H. BadleyFirst published in 1931, the underlying assumption of The Will to Live is that of a psychological evolution in which mind is regarded not merely as developing in association with nervous and cerebral development, but as being itself the most important factor in the process. It is this assumption which gives meaning to the title that has been chosen for the book. It brings themes like is psychology a science; impulse and growth; the rise of consciousness; the three main lines of instinct; the variability of habit; development of intelligence; thought as judgment and reflection; the critical faculty; simple and complex emotions; ideals and idealization; voluntary activity; sex and conflict; and buried complexes and dreams. This is an interesting historical document for the students of psychology.

Detective Chief Inspector Maigret, who happens to be nearby heading up a mobile unit, arrives swiftly to resolve the growing confusion. Though a chill sets over town, with townspeople remaining tight-lipped, Maigret’s pursuit of the truth in Georges Simenon’s The Yellow Dog makes for a thrilling, breathless adventure.

Toda pasión apagada
by Vita Sackville-WestLa mejor novela de Vita Sackville-West, admirada por Virginia Woolf y convertida en un clásico. «Toda la elegancia, toda la ironía y, bajo una tersa superficie, una buena dosis de veneno. Una lectura muy sabrosa.»Rosa Montero «Se preguntó qué heridas eran más profundas: las desgarradas heridas de la realidad, o las hondas e invisibles magulladuras de la imaginación.» Lord Slane, baluarte del Imperio y gran estadista, ha muerto. Le sobreviven su viuda y seis hijos dispuestos a ocuparse de ella. Pero Lady Slane tiene otros planes: la sumisa esposa y complaciente madre quiere al fin vivir su propia vida. En una pequeña casa, en Hampstead, rememorará sus sueños de una juventud y pasará dulcemente el tiempo que el destino le conceda junto a aquellos que ha escogido: una doncella francesa, el carpintero y hasta un excéntrico millonario, enamorado de ella en la India cincuenta años atrás. Toda pasión apagada es una de las obras maestras de Vita Sackville-West, y suscitó el entusiasmo de Virginia Woolf, cuyo libro Una habitación propia sin duda había influido en el de su amiga. Reseñas:«¡Lo que es la inteligencia y la sensibilidad! ¿Quién no se rinde a una buena historia crítica de una alta clase social, hecho a la inglesa y contada con el ojo implacable y la escritura expresiva y contundente de una persona tan vital y exigente como Vita Sackville-West? Eso es Toda pasión apagada.»José María Guelbenzu, El País «Posee la capacidad que deben poseer los buenos libros, la de obligarnos a replantearnos muchas cosas, la de hacernos ver la vida de otra manera. Mi amor por esta novela es largo y repetido. Les proporcionará buenos ratos de placer y un poquito más de sabiduría.»Ángeles Caso, La Vanguardia «A menudo clasificada como ejemplo de literatura feminista -los paralelismos y las comparaciones con Virginia Woolf son de rigor-, esta novela trasciende esa etiqueta seria y es también una muy buena muestra de narrativa, llena de observación y humor agudos.»Leaves & Pages
