Description:

A war between China and the US would be catastrophic, deadly, and destructive. Unfortunately, it is no longer unthinkable.
The relationship between the US and China, the world’s two superpowers, is peculiarly volatile. It rests on a seismic fault-of cultural misunderstanding, historical grievance, and ideological incompatibility. No other nations are so quick to offend and be offended. Their militaries play a dangerous game of chicken, corporations steal intellectual property, intelligence satellites peer, and AI technicians plot. The capacity for either country to cross a fatal line grows daily.
Kevin Rudd, a former Australian prime minister who has studied, lived in, and worked with China for more than forty years, is one of the very few people who can offer real insight into the mindsets of the leadership whose judgment will determine if a war will be fought. The Avoidable War demystifies the actions of both sides, explaining and translating them for the benefit of the other. Geopolitical disaster is still avoidable, but only if these two giants can find a way to coexist without betraying their core interests through what Rudd calls “managed strategic competition.” Should they fail, down that path lies the possibility of a war that could rewrite the future of both countries, and the world.

Description:

"Vu Tran’s Dragonfish is that rare hybrid marvel―a literary thriller, a narrative of migration and loss that upends the conventions of any form." ―Dinaw Mengestu, author of All Our Names

Robert, an Oakland cop, still can’t let go of Suzy, the enigmatic Vietnamese wife who left him two years ago. Now she’s disappeared from her new husband, Sonny, a violent Vietnamese smuggler and gambler who’s blackmailing Robert into finding her for him. As he pursues her through the sleek and seamy gambling dens of Las Vegas, shadowed by Sonny’s sadistic son, "Junior," and assisted by unexpected and reluctant allies, Robert learns more about his ex-wife than he ever did during their marriage. He finds himself chasing the ghosts of her past, one that reaches back to a refugee camp in Malaysia after the fall of Saigon, as his investigation soon uncovers the existence of an elusive packet of her secret letters to someone she left behind long ago. Although Robert starts illuminating the dark corners of Suzy’s life, the legacy of her sins threatens to immolate them all.

Vu Tran has written a thrilling and cinematic work of sophisticated suspense and haunting lyricism, set in motion by characters who can neither trust each other nor trust themselves. This remarkable debut is a noir page-turner resonant with the lasting reverberations of lives lost and lives remade a generation ago

Description:

When Alfred Kinsey’s massive studies Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female appeared in 1948 and 1953, their detailed data spurred an unprecedented public discussion of the nation’s sexual practices and ideologies. As they debated what behaviors were normal or average, abnormal or deviant, Cold War Americans also celebrated and scrutinized the state of their nation, relating apparent changes in sexuality to shifts in its political structure, economy, and people. American Sexual Character employs the studies and the myriad responses they evoked to examine national debates about sexuality, gender, and Americanness after World War II. Focusing on the mutual construction of postwar ideas about national identity and sexual life, this wide-ranging, shrewd, and lively analysis explores the many uses to which these sex surveys were put at a time of extreme anxiety about sexual behavior and its effects on the nation.

Looking at real and perceived changes in masculinity, female sexuality, marriage, and homosexuality, Miriam G. Reumann develops the notion of "American sexual character," sexual patterns and attitudes that were understood to be uniquely American and to reflect contemporary transformations in politics, social life, gender roles, and culture. She considers how apparent shifts in sexual behavior shaped the nation’s workplaces, homes, and families, and how these might be linked to racial and class differences.

Description:

Fyodor Dostoevsky‘s "Crime and Punishment" is a gripping psychological masterpiece that delves deep into the tormented mind of its protagonist, Raskolnikov, and explores themes of morality, guilt, and redemption.
Set in 19th-century St. Petersburg, Russia, the novel follows the impoverished and intellectually gifted former student, Raskolnikov, who becomes consumed by a radical idea. He believes that by committing a morally justifiable murder of a pawnbroker, he can alleviate his financial woes and prove his superiority over conventional morality. However, the act triggers a relentless inner turmoil.
As the story unfolds, we witness Raskolnikov’s descent into paranoia and madness, juxtaposed with the unwavering determination of the shrewd detective Porfiry to solve the crime. The novel masterfully explores the ethical consequences of Raskolnikov’s actions and the impact on those around him, including the virtuous Sonia.
Dostoevsky’s writing is deeply introspective, drawing readers into the conflicted psyche of his characters. He examines the human condition with profound insight, raising questions about the nature of good and evil, the limits of human suffering, and the possibility of redemption.
"Crime and Punishment" is a literary triumph that continues to captivate readers with its exploration of the darkest corners of the human soul. If you seek a novel that challenges your moral convictions and provides a riveting journey through the complexities of the human psyche, this classic work is an essential read.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, one of Russia’s greatest novelists, was born on November 11, 1821, in Moscow. Raised in a family of physicians, he initially studied to follow in their footsteps but soon turned to literature.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Dostoevsky’s early works, like "Poor Folk" and "The Double," gained him recognition, but it was his masterpiece, "Crime and Punishment," published in 1866, that catapulted him to literary stardom. This novel delves into the moral and psychological turmoil of its protagonist, Raskolnikov, making it a timeless exploration of guilt and redemption.
His other notable works include "The Idiot," "Demons" (also known as "The Devils" or "The Possessed"), "The Brothers Karamazov," and "The Gambler." These novels grapple with complex philosophical and psychological themes, earning Dostoevsky a reputation as a master of psychological fiction.
Dostoevsky’s life was marked by personal struggles, including brushes with death, imprisonment in Siberia, and financial woes. Despite these challenges, his literary output remained prolific, and he continued to shape Russian literature.
He passed away on February 9, 1881, in Saint Petersburg, leaving behind a literary legacy that explores the depths of the human soul and the complexities of human nature. His works continue to be celebrated worldwide for their profound insights into the human condition.

Description:

Brooks Winslow myślał, że doświadczył już wszystkiego w życiu. Przeciwnego zdania jest jednak jego siostra, Jessica, która stwierdza, że zapisanie go jako uczestnika licytacji "Wylicytuj kawalera", jest świetnym pomysłem.

Brooks, przerażony perspektywą bycia wylicytowanym przez kompletnie obcą kobietą, prosi swoją najlepszą przyjaciółkę, Sky Sorenson, aby pomogła mu w tej kłopotliwej dla niego sytuacji. Nie marzy mu się spędzenie tygodnia na wodzie z kompletnie obcą kobietą, bo to jest właśnie główna nagroda w licytacji.

Jako nastolatek Brooks przeżył tragedię – przedwcześnie zmarł jego ojciec, zostawiając żonę i dzieci. Widząc jak jego najbliżsi pogrążają się w coraz większej rozpaczy, Brooks stwierdził, że nigdy nie pozwoli sobie obdarzyć kogoś uczuciem.

Skye Sorenson jest pyskatą panią mechanik w Przystani Sorensona, w której Brooks cumuje swoje trzy żaglówki. Skye również jest świetną żeglarką, ale ma małą tajemnicę… od lat pożąda Brooksa. Według niej romans między nią a Brooksem jest niemożliwy z powodu łączącej ich przyjaźni.

Jakimś cudem Brooksowi udaje się przekonać Skye, aby wylicytować go, i jako nagrodę wyruszają w morską przygodę na żaglówce Brooksa, "Zefirze".

Ale cii… Co stało się na Zefirze, zostaje na Zefirze.

Bidding on Brooks is the first of four books about the Philadelphia-based, wildly-handsome Winslow brothers who are all on the look-out for love.

(Except Preston. He’s been down that road before and only escaped by the skin of his teeth. And maybe Cameron, because he’s super hot, but too hot-headed to be decent boyfriend material…)

Railroaded into a bachelor auction by his sister, Jessica, Brooks Winslow asks his friend, Skye Sorenson, to bid on him to avoid the possibility of any romantic entanglements. Fiercely competitive and protective of those he cares for, Brooks was profoundly affected by the loss of his father at an early age. A witness to his mother’s terrible loneliness and his siblings’ grief, the ex-Olympian has never allowed himself to fall in love.

Skye Sorenson, the plucky mechanic at Sorenson Marina, where Brooks moors his three sailboats, is a credible sailor in her own right.and has quietly lusted after Brooks for years. But her longstanding friendship with Brooks has always made romance seem impossible.

When Skye agrees to bid on Brooks, the two cast off for a weeklong ocean adventure on Brooks’ sailboat, The Zephyr.

And.what happens in Zephyrland stays in Zephyrland.
