Do I look I care anymore?
"Do I Look Like I Care Anymore?" In this raw and honest tale of high school drama, Shawn Sullivan navigates a minefield of friendship, love, and betrayal. When childhood friend Sarah Gallagher re-enters his life, what begins as innocent reconnection spirals into a web of manipulation and heartbreak. Caught between his best friend Sebastian and the girl he thought he knew, Shawn must confront the harsh realities of teenage relationships. As pranks turn serious and loyalties are tested, he grapples with a pivotal question: Is it better to seek revenge or take the high road? Based on true events, this gripping coming-of-age story explores the power of perception, the fine line between jokes and cruelty, and the painful process of growing up. It's a poignant reminder that in the game of life, sometimes the best revenge is living well. Perfect for fans of contemporary young adult fiction, "Do I Look Like I Care Anymore?" is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of true friendship.
Irish Seattle
The Puget Sound area has been greatly influenced by the Irish, and while many of the names and events are familiar, until now, their Irish connections were rarely acknowledged. Judge Thomas Burke, "The Man who Built Seattle," had Irish parents. So did Washington's second governor, John Harte McGraw. John Collins, who left Ireland at the tender age of 10 to seek his fame and fortune, became Seattle's fourth mayor. "The Mercer Girls" included Irish women who came west to Seattle. This fascinating retrospective pays tribute to the first- and second-generation Irish who lived in the Puget Sound region over the past 150 years and who contributed to Seattle's growth. In more than 200 photographs and illustrations, this book chronicles the contributions of the Irish to an area whose landscape and climate reminded them of home.
Origins
With stunning regularity, the search for our cosmic roots has been yielding remarkable new discoveries about the universe and our place in it. In his compelling book, Origins: The Quest for Our Cosmic Roots addresses some of the most profound issues humans have ever confronted. In his compelling book, veteran science journalist Tom Yulsman chronicles the latest discoveries and describes in clear and engaging terms what they mean. From the interior of protons to the outer reaches of the universe, and from the control room of one of the world's most powerful particle accelerators to an observatory atop the tallest mountain in the Pacific basin, Yulsman takes readers on a fantastic voyage at the cutting edge of science.
More than Bombs and Bandages
More than Bombs and Bandages exposes the false assumption that military nurses only nursed. Based on author Kirsty Harris’ CEW Bean Prize-winning PhD thesis, this is a book that is far removed from the ‘devotion to duty’ stereotyping offering an intriguing and sometimes gut-wrenching insight into the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) during World War I. More than Bombs and Bandages provides rich pickings for all those interested in nursing history, women in the Australian military the application of medical treatments and World War I. What I enjoyed most about is Dr Kirsty Harris’s ability to reflect those nurses voices in a way that was so real – one could be there, the settings were so well understood from her research and the language kind of made a time warp in the reading. Very satisfying. As you know I have that Peter Rees book, but I could not get into it after reading the historical one. It was like comparing a great documentary to Facebook trivia!!!
