Here
One house, one hundred years -- Here is a collection of interconnected short stories that bend time with a complex and varied cast of characters passing through a single mansion in Newfoundland, confronting the ghosts of family, perseverance, redemption, and survival. Here is a collection of interconnected short stories that trails the inhabitants of a colonial mansion on Circular Road in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, over a span of 100 years. Aristocrats, hippies, housemaids, an all-girl rock band, a politician, a theologian, a biologist, a ballerina, a crow--over the decades, the house has a way of bending time for its varied occupiers, making readers question how our histories shape us and whether we can ever truly escape, or make peace with, the ghosts of the past.
Melt
Melt shifts between two girls who come of age together during two economically turbulent times - the late '90s and present-day - in St. John's, Newfoundland. The women navigate break-ups, tanning beds, spray tans, drifting desires, at least one kid with a raisin up his nose, drunken dancing, infidelity, death, sex in Middle Cove, job loss at the CBC and love loss at the Avalon Mall. Through the pockets of their maddening but beloved city, their friendships and relationships are tested, but their brazen humour and deep-rooted friendship helps them ice-pick through the winter sludge and spring muck and get them through until it's summer once more.

Noam Chomsky új kötetének témája az emberiségre leselkedő klímakatasztrófa és a nukleáris háború réme, két olyan fenyegetés, amelyet mi magunk hoztunk létre. A szerző eddig még egyetlen figyelmeztető és tettekre felszólító írásában sem fogalmazta meg ilyen világosan és meggyőzően érveit és gondolatmenetét. Chomsky eredeti módon követi nyomon, hogy a nukleáris fegyverek és a klímaváltozás miként fenyegetik létezésünket. Bemutatja például, miként bontakoztak ki ezek a veszélyek, és hogyan kapcsolódtak össze egymással. Chomsky szerint nagyon sürgősen klíma- és leszerelési megállapodásokat kellene kötni, illetve arra is rámutat, mennyi mindent tehetnek a civilszervezetek annak érdekében, hogy a civilizációnkat fenyegető veszélyekkel való szembenézésre késztessék a kormányokat.
Good Morning, Beautiful Business
It's not often that someone stumbles into entrepreneurship and ends up reviving a community and starting a national economic-reform movement. But that's what happened when, in 1983, Judy Wicks founded the White Dog Café on the first floor of her house on a row of Victorian brownstones in West Philadelphia. After helping to save her block from demolition, Judy grew what began as a tiny muffin shop into a 200-seat restaurant-one of the first to feature local, organic, and humane food. The restaurant blossomed into a regional hub for community, and a national powerhouse for modeling socially responsible business. Good Morning, Beautiful Business is a memoir about the evolution of an entreprene...
