https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1741468.Victorian_Writers_and_the_Image_of_Empire | 1741468.Victorian_Writers_and_the_Image_of_Empire | Victorian Writers and the Image of Empire: The Rose-Colored Vision | ["Laurence Kitzan"] | 3.33 | 6 | 1 | Writers of imperial fiction in the period 1840-1914 created a strong image of the British Empire that was often confused with the empire as it actually existed. Even in the 1940s, many people in Britain and the British Dominions still accepted the stereotypical view that the British Empire was a highly moral creation. This book studies the literature of imperialism in the Victorian and Edwardian periods to show how this image of empire was created and how it developed such strength. The volume concentrates on the works of major writers of imperialism, such as Rudyard Kipling, H. Rider Haggard, John Buchan, and G. A. Henty, but also looks extensively at the writings of less familiar figures, such as Robert Ballantyne and W.H.G. Kingston.
Many of the texts produced by these writers were books for boys, and they were very popular. They were often given as gifts and were awarded as prizes in schools. The books created a portrait of the British Empire as a place for settlement, the finding of treasure, the strengthening of religious beliefs and moral training, and the operation of codes of behavior for gentlemen. They emphasized courage and the willingness to face death in the service of Britain, and they suggested that the qualities of good citizens were the same as those of good imperialists. This was a comforting and influential concept during a period of imperial acquisition. | null | 1/1/2001 | {"name":"Laurence Kitzan","num_books":1} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":66},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":33},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | "$84.00" |

De Nederlandse onderzoeksjournalist Mathijs Schiffers (voor Het Financieele Dagblad werkzaam in Londen) portretteert drie van zulke ruige 'wildemannen': automaker Victor Muller (1959), vastgoed-exploitant Richard Homburg (1949) en botenman Philip Adkins (1958). Begin 2010 koopt het kleine Spyker Cars de Zweedse autofabrikant Saab. De creatieve Muller probeert tevergeefs de financiering rond te breien en Saab gaat failliet. Vastgoedmagnaat Homburg verleidt met aantrekkelijke rendementen goedgelovige particuliere spaarders tot deelname in zijn beleggingsfondsen. Hij maakt naam met vijandige bedrijfsovernames en riante beloningsconstructies voor zichzelf. De Amerikaan Adkins grijpt in 2006 de macht bij het zeetransportbedrijf Fairstar. Fel gaat hij de concurrentiestrijd aan, maar in april 2012 wordt hij buitenspel gemanoeuvreerd. Hoe dit allemaal kon gebeuren, wordt door Schiffers kleurrijk onthuld.

Over the last ten or so years, I have been collecting "student bloopers" - all of them true and genuine, some of which you would not believe, others which make little sense, even to the trained eye! They come from a variety of exam boards, papers and levels but there are some, even now after reading them many times, which never fail to bring a smile to my face. Whilst this may be a humorous book, I believe it can genuinely be used as a teaching tool for the many misconceptions that occur in students' minds and, if that helps one person, then it has done a good job. Read and enjoy. | null | 10/29/2007 | {"name":"Sarah Howes","num_books":1} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":50},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":50},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | "$6.99" |

Har den nogen reel magt i nutidens Danmark? Søren Jakobsens korte svar er, at overklassens magt i erhvervs- og i kulturlivet er undervurderet. Fuldstændig undervurderet.
Overklassemagt er en selvstændig fortsættelse af den anmelderroste Overklasseliv – fra landadel til magtelite og jetset. I denne bog søger Søren Jakobsen om bag overklasselivet og endnu dybere ind i, hvad overklassens magt i virkeligheden består af.
Han inddrager både nye og velkendte virksomheder (som f.eks. Lego, Coloplast og Danfoss) og prøver at komme nærmere en forståelse af præcis, hvor magtfuld overklassen er – og hvordan magten bruges i praksis.
Han søger dybt ind i fondsverdenen, som er en vigtig nøgle til at forstå de rigeste danske familiers betydelige kulturelle magt. Politik, derimod, afholder overklassen sig som oftest fra direkte indblanding i – med en enkelt greve i Folketinget som undtagelsen, der bekræfter reglen.
Også det er der en forklaring på. Politik er nemlig det modsatte af ”tavshedens lov”, som er overklassens vigtigste leveregel. Alle ved, at samfundet er lagdelt, men meget få ønsker at tale om det. Og overklassen selv ønsker sig så lidt opmærksomhed og granskning, som overhovedet muligt. Alligevel er det lykkedes Søren Jakobsen at komme ind bag paraderne og tegne et underholdende og interessant portræt af den danske overklasses reelle magt.
Søren Jakobsen (f. 1940) er journalist og forfatter og modtager af bl.a. Cavlingprisen, Poeprisen og Det Danske Kriminalakademis pris.

Numera finns emellertid mycket forskning som berör nyanlända elever och många användbara erfarenheter har under denna tid också gjorts i praktiken.
I En bra början har både teoretiker och praktiker bidragit med sina kunskaper och erfarenheter med syfte att sprida vetande om hur mottagande och introduktion av nyanlända elever ska kunna göras på bästa sätt, så att eleverna får en bra och gynnsam start på sin skoltid i Sverige. Eftersom det är många faktorer som påverkar hur barns och ungdomars möte med ett nytt land, språk och skola blir har vi i boken försökt att ge ett helhetsperspektiv, där språkliga, psykosociala, sociokulturella och hälsomässiga aspekter tas hänsyn till i mötet med eleverna. Skolan är den arena där alla dessa perspektiv möts och vi konstaterar också att skolan är den bästa resursen för att göra nyanlända elevers start i det nya landet lyckosam.
Boken riktar sig i första hand till lärarstudenter, lärarutbildare, lärare och skolledare samt till politiker och beslutsfattare. Även andra personer som i sitt arbete kommer i kontakt med nyanlända elever kommer att kunna ha nytta av innehållet i denna bok liksom förstås en intresserad allmänhet. | null | 1/1/2014 | {"name":"Gilda Kästen-Ebeling","num_books":2} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":33},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":66},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | null |

Men in the public eye have too much to lose by coming out of the closet, but sometimes, denying the truth is the biggest risk of all.
Previously available only in electronic format, these two novellas of gay erotic romance have now been combined for a paperback edition! Included are the tales......
Quarterback Sneak (Can an athlete overcome his greatest challenge yet for the only man he's ever loved? The headline 'Quarterbacks Garnett, Patton, Rumored to be Gay' greets Cache Garnett the morning after he wins the football championship, and defeats his biggest rival, Eric Patton. Facing a potentially career-ending knee injury, the last thing Cache wants to deal with is speculation about his personal life. If the injury doesn't end his career, the swirling rumors could. Especially since all the speculation and rumors are true.)......
Making Waves (Andy Smith is just trying to do a good deed when he takes his sister's fiance home from a bar. After all, Scott Huxley is a major Hollywood star, and one drunken picture two nights before his wedding could be a huge embarrassment. The two men have nothing in common except an intense attraction. An attraction neither want to acknowledge. Andy doesn't want to betray his own sister, and Scott's secret runs so deep he can't even be honest with himself. But it doesn't take Andy long to learn that he doesn't have to acknowledge an attraction to be completely overwhelmed by it.) | null | 9/15/2009 | {"name":"Pepper Espinoza","num_books":77,"num_followers":"85"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":100},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | null |

Excerpt: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (or simply Ninja Turtles) are a fictional team of four teenage anthropomorphic turtles, who were trained by their anthropomorphic rat sensei in the art of ninjutsu and named after four Renaissance artists. From their home in the storm sewers of New York City, they battle petty criminals, evil megalomaniacs, and alien invaders, all while remaining isolated from society at large. The characters initially appeared in comic books before being licensed for toys, cartoons, video games, films, and other merchandise. During the peak of its popularity in the late 1980s through early 1990s, the franchise gained considerable worldwide success and fame. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles originated in an American comic book published by Mirage Studios in 1984 in Dover, New Hampshire. The concept arose from a humorous drawing sketched out by Kevin Eastman during a casual evening of brainstorming with his friend Peter Laird. Using money from a tax refund together with a loan from Eastman's uncle, the young artists self-published a single issue comic intended to parody four of the most popular comics of the early 1980s: Marvel Comics' Daredevil and New Mutants, Dave ... | null | 5/31/2010 | {"name":"Source Wikipedia","num_books":120060,"num_followers":"191"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | null |

“...Justo después subí a la cima de una montaña y grité que por fin, a lo largo de este camino, había comprendido mi razón de existir, qué esperaba de mí la vida, y ante todo, había aprendido a escuchar y reconocer sus mensajes a través de la intuición, el más poderoso de todos nuestros sentidos.
Grité que es el amor, posible o imposible, el sentimiento que multiplica exponencialmente todas nuestras capacidades, desde la memoria hasta la intuición, pasando por cualquier tipo de inteligencia o capacidad de razonamiento.
Grité que no sé de dónde vengo, pero sí lo que he venido a hacer aquí.
Todo esto me oyó gritar el aire, desde la cima de la montaña.”
Alba
“...Y todo esto se oyó cuando Nighra terminó de recorrer el sendero de los moriscos, a lo largo del Valle de Ricote.
Y todo el planeta se alegró de contar con alguien más que se sintiera como lo que es: parte de un todo, que empezaba ahora una vida “mágica” infinitamente más feliz...
Porque el más mínimo detalle y el más fugaz de los segundos se convierte en el mayor de los tesoros cuando la existencia tiene sentido.”

Almost a year later, Ollie invites Jessica to stay at his family’s manor home in Cornwall as a last-ditch attempt to mend their friendship before heading for pastures new. In need of a kick-start in her own life Jessica agrees, concealing a dubious agenda; however, from the moment she steps into the Taylor household she’s on the back foot. The manor is peppered with feisty females, champagne parties and secrets; her delicate relationship with Ollie is a daily test; his antagonistic, workaholic brother, Matt, a puzzle and their village committee member mother, ambitious for her own glory, has her eyes on Jessica as a potential ally in her latest endeavour. So when the village committee’s charity ball is adjudged to be heading for disaster, ex-events manager Jessica is roped in to try to save their blushes. Can she save the high profile event from being an embarrassing failure? And will it spark off her own, much needed, turnaround? | null | 9/16/2016 | {"name":"Jolie Davison","num_books":1} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":12},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":37},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":50}} | null |

Before he was a Rolling Stone, a Face, or a member of the Jeff Beck Group, Ronnie Wood flew the nest aged just 17 with his first band, the Birds. Featuring cameos by legends such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Rod Stewart and Pete Townshend, Ronnie’s adventures on the road to superstardom were handwritten in his private diary of 1965.
Now, celebrating 50 years in rock ’n’ roll, Ronnie Wood guides us through the pages of his rediscovered journal. With his entertaining new commentary, hand-drawn illustrations, and rare photos and memorabilia, Ronnie’s trip through the Sixties is introduced by his Stones bandmate Charlie Watts. A download code for Ronnie’s accompanying ‘How Can It Be?’ single is included.

In 1945, after more than a decade as a commercial illustrator—drawing advertisements and cartoons for Life, Time, Esquire, Newsweek, and many others—Abner Dean invented a genre all his own: One might call it the Existential Gag Cartoon. He used the elegant draftsmanship and single-panel format of the standard cartoons of the day, but turned them into more than just one-off jokes. With an inimitable mixture of wit, earnestness, and enigmatic surrealism, Dean uses this most ephemeral of forms to explore the deepest mysteries of human existence.
What Am I Doing Here? depicts a world at once alien and familiar, in which everyone is naked but act like they’re clothed—a world of club-wielding commuters and byzantine inventions, secret fears, and perverse satisfactions. Through it all strolls (or crawls, or floats, or stumbles) Dean’s unclad Everyman, searching for love, happiness, and the answers to life’s biggest questions. | ["Comics","Graphic Novels","Cartoon","Graphic Novels Comics","Humor"] | 1/1/1947 | {"name":"Abner Dean","num_books":28,"num_followers":"3"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":4},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":15,"reviews_percentage":12},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":30,"reviews_percentage":25},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":32,"reviews_percentage":27},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":34,"reviews_percentage":29}} | "$13.99" |

The Englishman's Boy brilliantly links together Hollywood in the 1920s with one of the bloodiest, most brutal events of the nineteenth-century Canadian West--the Cypress Hills Massacre--to tell an unforgettable novel about power, greed, and the pull of dreams that has at its centre the haunting story of a young drifter--"the Englishman's boy"--whose fate, ultimately, is a tragic one. Winner of Canada Reads 2004, The Last Crossing tells the epic story of an unlikely group--including two Englishmen in search of their lost brother; their half-Blackfoot, half-Scottish guide; a Civil War veteran searching for salvation; a young woman determined to avenge her sister's brutal murder--who make the treacherous journey across the unknown landscape of the West, only to become entangled in an unfolding drama that forces each person to come to terms with his own demons. Set in the aftermath of Custer's defeat at the Battle of Little Big Horn, A Good Man weaves together the lives of a compellingly drawn cast of characters, including Wesley Case, a disgraced military officer who works as a liaison between the American and Canadian militaries in an effort to contain the Native Americans' unresolved anger in the wake of the Civil War; Ada Tarr, the beautiful, outspoken widow he has fallen in love with; and Michael Dunne, her disturbed admirer. When the American government unleashes its final assault on the Indians, Dunne commences his own vicious plan for vengeance in one last feverish attempt to claim Ada as his own. | null | 12/2/2014 | {"name":"Guy Vanderhaeghe","num_books":28,"num_followers":"180"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":7},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":38},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":7,"reviews_percentage":53}} | null |

Robert Gilpin examines this "technological gap," which France fears, and the efforts France is making to introduce change and efficiency into her science administration. He discusses the gap as it affects all of Europe, and suggests that if western European nations are unable to form a common European administration of science policy, and remain the “main world importers of discoveries and exporters of brains,” they may become steadily weaker in international affairs.

McKenzie is desperate, after all, to save her beloved younger sister, Kaydie, from her evil, abusive husband, who robs banks for a living. And so, it is with reckless determination that McKenzie runs away from the comforts of home and hearth to head West and meet her new husband-whom she'll divorce, of course, after she rescues her sister. "Desperate times call for desperate measures" is the reasoning that also prompts Zachary Sawyer, a rugged rancher after God's own heart, to post an ad for a mail-order bride in various newspapers across the country. Managing a ranch and caring for his adoptive son, Davey, has become more than one man can handle alone, and Zach prays for God to send him a wife with whom to build a life and share his dreams.
When McKenzie arrives at Zach's ranch, she immediately puts her plan in motion, searching for her sister and doing all she can to keep her new husband from forming an attachment. But his persistent kindness and significant self-sacrifices begin to change her heart-and ruin her plans. God has a way of working things out to the good of those who love Him, though, as McKenzie and Kaydie will soon see. | ["Christian Fiction","Romance","Historical Fiction","Christian","Historical","Christian Romance","Westerns","Fiction","Historical Romance","Mail Order Brides"] | 1/1/2010 | {"name":"Penny Zeller","num_books":32,"num_followers":"704"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":18,"reviews_percentage":4},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":48,"reviews_percentage":10},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":120,"reviews_percentage":26},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":139,"reviews_percentage":31},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":122,"reviews_percentage":27}} | "$8.49" |

Sison"] | 2.25 | 4 | null | Long before there was Pangasinan, the province, there was Panag-asinan – the Land of Salt. The salt people were also fishermen.The vast expanse of plains, further inland, to the south was crisscrossed by rivers – that all emptied into the Lingayen Gulf. It was populated by the rice people who also cultivated root crops and vegetables, and domesticated animals.In the wooded forests lived the mountain people who hunted wild game, gathered forest products, wove baskets and mats and carved “anitos” or wooden gods. They also mined gold and traded with the lowlanders for rice, salt and dried fish.Except for little fights involving land boundaries, petty jealousies and domestic conflicts, the salt, rice and mountain people all lived in peaceful coexistence.They believed in the supreme gods of nature and worshipped their dead ancestors. They were proud of their past and lived fruitful lives. Their leaders governed them relatively well. To inspire their young, their elders told stories of the adventure and heroism of their forebears. They explained the phenomenon around them in terms of their relationship with their gods whom they supplicated by offering food and wine.But all this would soon change. Foreign incursions brought forth in Panag-asinan the tentacles of the Sri-Visayan Empire, as exemplified by Princess Urduja, as well as the impact of the Chinese traders and the half-bred Sangleys who settled in Lingayen long before Limahong would reach the Panag-asinan shores.These influences would shape Panag-asinan’s cultural, social, economic and political outlook, if not its very structure. The datus, anacbanuas, timawas and aripens would become integral elements and influence Panag-asinan’s identity even to this day.Like normal people, they celebrated good harvests, waged petty wars with each other, mourned their dead, married off their children, gambled in cockfights, abused their aripens but they always sang songs and told stories of their beginnings and the exploits of their ancestors. All these tales would find their way into the legends, myths and folklore of the Panag-asinan folk.Then the Spanish colonizers came. The cross provided a convenient mask for their lust for gold as well as for the fertile lands owned by the Panag-asinan tribes during their long rule of tyranny and greed.The white man’s interaction with the Panag-asinan folk would involve real people, leaders who fought the Spanish tyrants to death to regain their country’s freedom.Another freedom-fighter, Jose Rizal, who scared the Spaniards out of their wits because of his genius, had roots in the Land of Salt. Lingayen was to play host in nurturing his romance with his cousin, Leonor Rivera, in several visits to his relatives there. Lingayen would also bear witness to the demise of that love when it turned tragic for both lovers and for people they loved.Stories of the rice, salt and mountain people and those of the Sri-Visayan influences as well as of the brutality and greed of the Spanish tyrants all contributed to the cultural legacy of the people from the land we now call Pangasinan.The Pangasinenses are today the inheritors of that rich and glorious past.“Tales from the Land of the Salt”This is their story. | null | 3/1/2005 | {"name":"Emmanuel S.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/87450.Isaiah_Berlin | 87450.Isaiah_Berlin | Isaiah Berlin: Liberty and Pluralism | ["George Crowder"] | 4 | 3 | 1 | Isaiah Berlin was one of the leading political thinkers of the twentieth century, and his work continues to attract admiration and debate. In Isaiah Berlin: Liberty, Pluralism and Liberalism , George Crowder provides both an accessible introduction to Berlin's ideas and an original contribution to political theory. Berlin's range of interests and learning was vast but united by a single overarching project: the uncovering of the conceptual roots of twentieth-century totalitarianism. He traces these through three levels of analysis: the distortion of the concept of freedom by thinkers such as Rousseau, Fichte, Hegel and Marx; the scientism of the Enlightenment and irrationalism of the Counter-Enlightenment and romanticism; and moral monism, the idea that all ethical questions can be answered by reference to a single moral law. Against monism, Berlin asserts the claims of value pluralism, which he aligns with a politics of liberal moderation. In this new assessment, Crowder argues that Berlin's critique of the modern enemies of liberty is exciting and powerful, but also that the coherence of his thought is threatened by a tension between its liberal and pluralist elements. Crowder goes on to suggest how that tension can be resolved by appeal to arguments that go beyond the case actually presented by Berlin but which remain within the spirit of his general outlook. | ["Philosophy"] | 11/19/2004 | {"name":"George Crowder","num_books":11,"num_followers":"3"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":33},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":33},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":33}} | null |

It's the most encyclopedic of the classic Yoga texts and teaches a unique sevenfold path to perfection of the person. This is the first edition to meet high academic, literary, and production standards. It's for people who practice Yoga and for anyone with an interest in health and fitness, philosophy, religion, spirituality, mysticism, or meditation. From the Introduction
The book you are about to read, a manual of Yoga taught by Gheranda to Chanda, is the most encyclopedic of all the root texts of Hatha Yoga. At the beginning of the book, Chanda asks Gheranda to tell him about the Yoga of the body, which is the cause of knowledge of the Ultimate Reality. Gheranda assents and the book is thus called the Gheranda Samhita, or "The Collection [of Verses] of Gheranda." It sets itself apart from other books on Hatha Yoga in two notable ways. Firstly, it calls its Yoga "ghata Yoga" or "ghatastha Yoga" and not Hatha Yoga. The usual meaning of ghata is "pot," but here it refers to the body, or rather the person, since the techniques taught by Gheranda work on both the body and the mind. Secondly, it is unique in teaching a sevenfold path to perfection of the person. Excerpt
The yogi should visualize a sublime ocean of nectar in his heart, with an island of jewels in its middle whose sand is made of gemstones. In every direction there are kadamba trees with abundant flowers. Bees and cuckoos buzz and call there. He should steady himself and visualize a great jeweled pavilion . . . | ["Philosophy","Spirituality","Hinduism","Nonfiction"] | 12/1/2004 | {"name":"James Mallinson","num_books":17,"num_followers":"19"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":1},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":19,"reviews_percentage":32},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":20,"reviews_percentage":33},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":19,"reviews_percentage":32}} | "$8.49" |
