Spending every summer with his grandmother in the south of England isn't Ryan's idea of a good time, and when he finds someone his own age to hang out with, he doesn't much care who that is. Alex might not say much, but company is company when there's nobody else to choose from, and Ryan will simply have to make do. It isn't, after all, like he really needs a friend. But Alex is more than just a kid with a thing for smashing up greenhouses, and Ryan finds himself dragged further and further into a dark, uncertain world of alcohol, bruises, a mother's madness, and a father's anger. Worst of all, Alex is dragging Ryan into a world of lust, attraction, and midnight kisses that Ryan is struggling to keep confined to southern summers. This thing with Alex can't go further than summer -- but Alex, and the shadows that surround him, are not so easily forgotten. Ryan can't forget Alex, but the longer he hangs on, the more he discovers ... not just about Alex, but about himself, his future, and the things that really matter. But eventually, summer must come to an end.
Ideal for scientifically minded individuals curious about life's spiritual side as well as spiritually inclined people seeking to back up their beliefs, this book offers evidence for the existence of telepathy, precognition, and psychic healing.
How can a man like him ever be enough? Jesse has never had a real boyfriend before. He's a firefighter, and that's all that anyone's interested in—a quick and thrilling screw, and a story for the future. So when he lands Ezra Pryce, the most beautiful man in the whole of Brighton, Jesse can't quite understand why Ezra is still here eight months down the line. Not that he's going to complain. Ezra's sexy, sarcastic, and nothing shot of perfection—and Jesse can't hope to measure up. He isn't going to be enough for someone like Ezra in the long run, and he is living—and loving—on borrowed time. When a disastrous weekend in Norwich introduces Jesse to the staunch disapproval of Ezra's family and the six-pack of his ex-boyfriend in one fell swoop, Jesse's fate is sealed. He cannot hope to live up to an ex who has every intention of getting Ezra back, and all the looks and charm to do it too. Jesse is not enough for Ezra and he's never going to be. Right? Reader advisory: This book contains references to homophobia and homophobic bullying.
Entrepreneurship is an academic discipline that, despite decades of growth in research and teaching activity lacks a traditionally distinct or common theoretical domain. In this book, editors Thomas N. Duening and Matthew Metzger explore entrepreneurial identity, facets of entrepreneurship education in forming and developing this identity and the development of entrepreneurs in general. Chapters focus primarily on macro-level identity issues (i.e., how do these entrepreneurial archetypes form, persist, and sometimes change) or micro-level identity issues (i.e., how can educators and resource providers identify, communicate, and incentivize identity construction among aspiring entrepreneurs), topics that will be of interest to researchers and students alike.
FROM POPULAR AUTHOR OF LGBTQ+ ROMANCE MATTHEW J. METZGER Book five in the Starting Over series Is this the end of the road, or the start of a whole new journey? Aled's had enough. His family is hundreds of miles away from him, his job is pointless and the feeling that he's missing out on his own life has grown too big. But how can he call time on Yorkshire when it's the place that Gabriel calls home? Chris doesn't know what to do. Inheriting property in the childhood village where he felt such a freak growing up wasn't what he wanted, and he didn't expect to miss Aled and Gabriel as much as he has since returning to Somerset. He's out of place yet again, but doesn't know where to call home. When Aled is offered a job in Cornwall, Gabriel senses an opportunity to fix Aled's misery, shed Chris' unhappy history and bring their entire relationship under one roof. It will be the biggest gamble Gabriel's ever taken on them...but this time, it doesn't feel like taking a risk. They're starting over at the beginning, and there's nothing left to fear.
It's the summer break, and for the first time in his life, Mike would rather stay in the bloody classroom. It's wedding season, and Mike is doomed to spend all summer sipping cheap champagne and pretending he likes tiny portions of posh food. From the passive-aggressive torment of Mike's mother-in-law to the insulting incredulity of his colleagues over what his mysterious husband actually looks like, Mike would voluntarily teach sex education to fourteen-year-olds for the rest of his life if it would only get him out of one more wedding. Even his husband in a kilt isn't going to save this one. But there's nothing like watching someone else get hitched to remind him of where he's come from ... and where he's determined to go from here.
He's not known for obeying orders... When Jim loses his job, it's the final straw. With nowhere else to go, he ends up living in his sister's spare room—where he is promptly told by straitlaced Sarah and her reverend husband that he simply must be on his best behaviour. And it's immediately apparent that best behaviour means no men. Jim's never been known for his ability to behave and meeting the gorgeous piano tutor who visits every week doesn't help. Fran might look like an angel at the ivories, but he's a devil between the sheets, and Jim has every intention of finding out just how bad Fran can be. But when Jim's niece comes out, Jim is faced with a choice. If he wants to support her as she desperately needs, he's going to have to stop lashing out and avoiding the subject. It's time to grow up and learn what his best behaviour really looks like. Reader advisory: This book contains references to homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, as well as the misgendering of a trans minor.
Since the 1913 publication of James A. Montgomery's Aramaic Incantation Texts from Nippur, students of the bowls have used that book as the diving platform from which they enter a deep pool of study, In the intervening years, the body of work on incantation (or magic) bowls has continued to grow. Bowls in several ancient languages have attracted the attention of scholars from a variety of countries and traditions. The result has been the publication of a considerable number of translations of additional texts and fragments. Focusing only on those bowls inscribed in Aramaic and even then, only on the seventy-two extant bowls which could be personally read in photographs or facsimiles, Charles Isbell has, in Corpus of the Aramaic Incantation Bowls, compiled an impressive volume of work. Including the complete original texts, full translations, and annotations, Isbell supplements the text with a glossary of all inscribed words, an index of personal names, and a list of quotations from scripture.
