Some 66 million years ago, an asteroid some seven miles across slammed into the Earth, leaving a geologic wound over 50 miles in diameter. In the terrible mass extinction that followed, more than half of known species vanish seemingly overnight. But this worst single day in the history of life of Earth was as critical for us as it was for the dinosaurs, as it allowed for evolutionary opportunities that were closed for the previous 100 million years. In The Last Days of the Dinosaurs, Riley Black walks readers through what happened in the days, the years, the centuries and the million years after the impact. Lifes losses were sharp and deeply felt, but the hope carried by the beings that survived sets the stage for the world as we know it now.

This book is about a discovery of the power, love and truth found in Jesus Christ. Through simple everyday open and honest re?ection, the author shows a way to reconnect the Christian faith with our spiritual needs in this 21st Century. It is a beginning and a voyage of learning and discovery for the author along with the reader. Certain deep theological topics are glimpsed upon and are intended to invoke a greater interest for them. The sources of inspiration come from Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditions. The author has worked to translate some aspects of these varied doctrines into understandable mind bites. Love, Faith and Courage work to provide you with ammunition to contend with everyday issues, as a guide to ?nd your place in this world, as a learning process towards greater truths, as healing for many of your needs, as protection against deceit and spiritual death and as a prayer to connect with God. Love is the gift God has for creation including all of us, we must remember it, Faith is our choice to join in with his power and Courage is the example set by Jesus as to how we should live as Christians, always mindful of his Resurrection and very real presence in this world. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you (ESV Bible Romans 8:11)

Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austens radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England.Among the writers who have approached nearest to the manner of the great master, we have no hesitation in placing Jane Austen. Thomas MacaulayPride and Prejudice is the best novel in the language. Anthony TrollopeI used to think that men did everything better than women, but that was before I read Jane Austen. I dont think any man ever wrote better than Jane Austen. Rex StoutElizabeth Bennet has but to speak, and I am at her knees. Robert Louis StevensonRead again, and for the third time at least, Miss Austens very finely written novel of Pride and Prejudice. That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements and feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I ever met with. Sir Walter Scott

Salvatore, o meglio Deejay, come amava essere chiamato, e stato un bambino simpatico, spiritoso e felice, nato e cresciuto in una famiglia che lo ha riempito di tutto lamore possibile. Sempre educato, gentile e rispettoso. Gli piaceva giocare a calcio, amava lo sport, la musica, le feste e soprattutto divertirsi e stare con gli amici. Un ragazzo con largento vivo addosso! Crescendo le difficolta della vita gli hanno fatto parecchi sgambetti ma lui, pieno di coraggio, ottimismo e umilta non si scoraggiava mai. Andava avanti per la sua strada, con buona volonta e ambizione, sempre alla ricerca di un futuro migliore e della felicita. Ha sempre creduto nei veri valori della vita: la famiglia, lamore e lamicizia. Un ragazzo spontaneo, genuino, altruista ma soprattutto autoironico. Ha preferito buttarsi nel mondo del lavoro sin da giovanissimo piuttosto che proseguire gli studi, sperando di acquisire col tempo quella dignita che solo il sudore del lavoro puo offrire a chi dalla vita non ha avuto niente. Era un ragazzo dolcissimo, aveva sempre un sorriso per tutti e la sua allegria contagiava chiunque. Non era perfetto, anche lui, come tutti noi, ha commesso errori, ha sbagliato, ha pagato, ha scelto strade tortuose, e caduto, si e rialzato e poi ricaduto, ma non ha mai perso il suo primo punto di vista: quello di sorridere sempre alla vita nonostante tutto. Solo lultimo periodo della sua vita ha visto spegnersi quel suo meraviglioso sorriso. La morte di nostro padre lo ha segnato per sempre, la precarieta del lavoro lo ha consumato e poi la fine della sua grande storia damore gli ha inferto il colpo di grazia.

It is the day of her younger brothers wedding and our narrator is struggling to compose her toast. She was nine years old when she travelled with her parents to Thailand to meet her brother Danny, and while their childhood in California was a happy one, when she holds their story up to the light, it refracts in ways she didnt expect. How to put words to their love?What follows is a heartfelt letter addressed to Danny and an excavation of their years growing up. Invoking everything from the classic Victorian adoption plot to childless women in literature to documents from Dannys case file, her narration is also a confession of sorts: to the parts of her life that she has kept from Danny, including her own struggle with infertility. And as the hours until the wedding tick down, she uncovers the words that cant and wont be said aloud.In Immediate Family, a fiercely tender debut novel, one luminous with love, Ashley Nelson Levy explores the complexities of motherhood, infertility, race, and the many definitions of family.

Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are two sisters with opposite characters. Elinor, the eldest, is 19 and represents the part of "reason" indicated by the title. Marianne is 17 years old and instead represents the "feeling". Elinor and Marianne are the daughters of Mr. Dashwoods second marriage. Besides them there is also a younger sister, Margaret, and their older brother, John, who was born from his first marriage. When the father dies, the family estate passes, as usual, to the first son, John, so the Dashwood women find themselves in a very precarious financial situation.

A powerfully poignant tale of one of the most turbulent moments in Scotlands history: the North Berwick Witch Trials. ITS THE 4TH OF DECEMBER 1591. On this, the last night of her life, in a prison cell several floors below Edinburghs High Street, convicted witch Geillis Duncan receives a mysterious visitor Iris, who says she comes from a future where women are still persecuted for who they are and what they believe. As the hours pass and dawn approaches, Geillis recounts the circumstances of her arrest, brutal torture, confession and trial, while Iris offers support, solace and the tantalising prospect of escape. Hex is a visceral depiction of what happens when a society is consumed by fear and superstition, exploring how the terrible force of a kings violent crusade against ordinary women can still be felt, right up to the present day. This series has already produced two works of note and distinction. It raises the question if a country cannot re-tell its history, will it be stuck forever in aspic and condemned to be nothing more than a shortbread tin illustration? Hex and Rizzio are showing the way towards a reckoning, and about time too Stuart Kelly, Scotland on Sunday
