Book Description
A California lawyer is reunited with her Caribbean mother, and must cope with a crisis, in a novel about identity and family. Jean has lived in the United States—and avoided her Caribbean homeland—for years. But as she prepares to work on a lesbian couple’s child custody case, in the hopes of advancing her law career, she is suddenly pulled in another direction. Her uncle, a prominent man back on the island, has died, and Jean’s mother, who nursed him through his long illness, demands her daughter’s attention. She wants to come visit her in Oakland. As Jean struggles through memories of both childhood and adulthood, she must come to terms with her past, her future, her true identity—and her relationship with a woman who has made her life difficult, but who may now desperately need her help.

Book Description
An interesting book that explains the puzzles of lotteries in detail and explains the methods of solving those puzzles. While it is best suited for American Powerball and Mega Millions lotteries, it is a great one for all lotteries that allow individuals to choose their preferred numbers. It is generally believed that the probability of winning the lottery is very low and its random nature doesn’t increase the chance of winning the lottery in any way. But based on a simple ‘Distance and Difference’ strategy with simple mathematics and basic arithmetic symbols, it describes how to beat millions of odds and increase the chances of winning the lottery. Undoubtedly, it beautifully describes how to extract future winning numbers from previously drawn lottery numbers. Also, it is perfect for finding the right tips and getting the desired results. Although it doesn’t guarantee winning the lottery, it provides a great start and guidance you need to succeed. In short, it combines the joy of reading with the acquisition of useful knowledge.

Book Description
George Berkeley (1685–1753) is, with John Locke and David Hume, one of the three major figures in the British empiricist school of philosophy. He has been the centre of much attention recently and his philosophical profile has gradually changed. In the 20th century he was almost exclusively known for his denial of the existence of matter (as this term was defined in those days), but today it is no longer reasonable to confine an account of Berkeley to the challenging philosophical inventions that he published when he was a young fellow at Trinity College in Dublin. This is a welcome trend. It shows Berkeley as a contributor not only to epistemology, metaphysics and moral and social philosophy, but also to a wide range of subjects including mathematics, philosophy of science, empirical psychology, political economy and monetary policy. The present collection aims at meeting this new trend by presenting a broad and comprehensive picture of Berkeley’s works in their historical context. The contributors are some of the finest international experts in the field. The editors hope that this collection will show George Berkeley as he was: a wide-ranging, widely influential and courageous philosophical innovator. This volume has been published to celebrate the 300th anniversary of George Berkeley’s Principles.
