Rocking the System
Twenty gutsy women who have changed history
The List
The remarkable New York Times bestseller! It happens every year before homecoming -- the list is posted all over school. Two girls are picked from each grade. One is named the prettiest, one the ugliest. The girls who aren't picked are quickly forgotten. The girls who are become the center of attention, and each reacts differently to the experience. With THE LIST, Siobhan Vivian deftly takes you into the lives of eight very different girls struggling with issues of identity, self-esteem, and the judgments of their peers. Prettiest or ugliest, once you're on the list, you'll never be the same.

Irish Literature
Irish literature's roots have been traced to the 7th-9th century. This is a rich and hardy literature starting with descriptions of the brave deeds of kings, saints and other heroes. These were followed by generous veins of religious, historical, genealogical, scientific and other works. The development of prose, poetry and drama raced along with the times. Modern, well-known Irish writers include: William Yeats, James Joyce, Sean Casey, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, John Synge and Samuel Beckett.
Women and the City in French Literature and Culture
The city has traditionally been configured as a fundamentally masculine space. This collection of essays seeks to question many of the idées reçues surrounding women’s ongoing association with the private, the domestic and the rural. Covering a selection of films, journals and novels from the French medieval period to the Franco-Algerian present, it challenges the traditionally gendered dichotomisation of the masculine public and feminine private upon which so much of French and European literature and culture is predicated. Is the urban flâneur a quintessentially male phenomenon, or can there exist a true flâneuse as active agent, expressing the confidence and pleasure of a woman moving freely in the urban environment? Women and the City in French Literature and Culture seeks to locate exactly where women are heading – both individually and collectively – in their relationships to the urban environment; by so doing, it nuances the conventional binaristic perception of women and the city in an endeavour to redirect future research in women’s studies towards more interesting and representative urban destinations.
L'ombra dei peccatori
John Rebus dovrebbe essere un ispettore di polizia in pensione. Dovrebbe passare i suoi giorni nella sua casa di Edimburgo. Dovrebbe essere un uomo sereno. Invece è tornato in servizio: retrocesso a semplice agente, è relegato a occuparsi dei casi irrisolti. Casi pieni di ombre, che affondano le radici nel passato. Ma il passato non è mai sepolto per sempre. Infatti, pare che stia per essere riaperta una vecchia inchiesta interna, per un delitto avvenuto nella stazione di polizia di Summerhall anni prima. Gli stessi anni in cui ci lavorava un giovane Rebus, gli stessi anni in cui è nata la leggenda dei Santi della Bibbia delle Ombre: una congrega irregolare di poliziotti decisi a persegu...
