Situazione sentimentale: complicata. Kristen Petersen ha degli amici fantastici, per cui sarebbe disposta a fare di tutto. E il suo cane è un cucciolo adorabile, un terremoto di buonumore. Le cose sembrano andare a gonfie vele per lei, almeno finché non inizia a organizzare il matrimonio della sua migliore amica. I guai di Kristen assumono presto un nome e un cognome: Josh Copeland, il testimone. Josh è divertente, sexy e riesce a tenere testa al suo sarcasmo. Sa farsi amare proprio da tutti, persino dal cane di Kristen… Ma laffascinante testimone ha da subito messo le cose in chiaro: desidera una grande famiglia. E Kristen non è sicura che i bambini facciano parte del suo futuro. Per questo si è convinta di dover tenere Josh a distanza, per il suo bene. Così che possa trovare qualcuno capace di dargli tutto quello che vuole. Lunica strada è confinarlo nel girone infernale della friendzone. Ma cè un  problema: nonostante gli sforzi di Kristen, è evidente che riuscire a resistere allatt...

In 1942, Hitler led the world's most savage military machine. Stalin ruled Russia while America was just beginning to show its strength in World War II. Then, in Harry Turtledove's brilliantly imagined Worldwar saga, an alien assault changed everything. Nuclear destruction engulfed major cities, and the invaders claimed half the planet before an uneasy peace could be achieved. A spectacular tale of tyranny and freedom, destruction and hope, the Colonization series takes us into the tumultuous 1960s, as the reptilian Race ponders its uneasy future. But now a new, even deadlier war threatens. Though the clamoring tribes of Earth play dangerous games of diplomacy, the ultimate power broker will be the Race itself. For the colonists have one option no human can ignore. With a vast, ancient empire already in place, the Race has the power to annihilate every living being on planet Earth. Product details ...

In 1977, Dave Sim (b. 1956) began to self-publish Cerebus, one of the earliest and most significant independent comics, which ran for 300 issues and ended, as Sim had planned from early on, in 2004. Over the run of the comic, Sim used it as a springboard to explore not only the potential of the comics medium but also many of the core assumptions of Western society. Through it he analyzed politics, the dynamics of love, religion, and, most controversially, the influence of feminism--which Sim believes has had a negative impact on society. Moreover, Sim inserted himself squarely into the comic as Cerebus's creator, thereby inviting criticism not only of the creation, but also of the creator. What few interviews Sim gave often pushed the limits of what an interview might be in much the same way that Cerebus pushed the limits of what a comic might be. In interviews Sim is generous, expansive, provocative, and sometimes even antagonistic. Regardless of mood, he is always insightful and ...

Millions of viewers throughout the world have been enthralled by this enactment of a vanished world of decorum and propriety, because it presents us with emotional and interpersonal problems that remain urgent for people in the twenty-first century.

Is it healthy or harmful for people to feel that they know their place? What does Downton Abbey teach us about the changes in women's roles since 1912? Do good manners always agree with good morals? How can everybody know what no one will talk about? What's the justification for a class of people who pride themselves on not having a job? Should we sometimes just accept the reality of social barriers to love, and abandon the pursuit? What happens when com...

The lack of regional official statistics in general and regional Input-Output Tables in particular for Ireland has been long noted and lamented. This paucity of regional data has retarded the capacity to construct sound regional economic models or formulate and asses evidence-informed policies at sub-national level. This book argues that this long standing gap can be addressed. Using a variety of data sources already available, the first set of fully integrated, symmetric, Supply & Use and domestic Input-Output Tables for the NUTS 2 regions of Ireland are compiled. These tables are general purpose in nature and are fully consistent with the official national Input-Output Tables and regional accounts. These tables are used to present a descriptive statistical analysis of the administrative NUTS 2 regions in Ireland, drawing particular attention to the underlying structural differences in regional trade balances and composition of Gross Value Added in those regions. ...
