Book Description
Young college grad Trent Wilson has passed his vetting into the CIA and gone into basic training in the belief that his deep-seated desire for other men and his brief and tentative experimentation have not been uncovered. What he doesn't know is that the Agency has a use for men who can suborn other men with their physical attributes and perpetual aspect of innocence that the spy agency recruiters have seen in Trent. Blackmailing Trent into working with a unit of spies using man sex to trap and compromise foreign targets into providing information and actions the Agency seeks, his Agency handler, Maurice, covers and masters Trent and then pulls him into the role of convincing targets across the world who seek to deflower virgins-in Bermuda, England, Austria, Turkey, Greek, and, ultimately, Macao-that Trent is what they want and is the virgin they will give up all to initiate. But as Trent becomes very good at this and even to enjoy it and seek it out, Maurice sees that he increasingly is losing control over his protege and makes plans of his own to put an end to Trent's use in these operations."

Book Description
“A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, “Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. “Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. “Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship” (The Toronto Star).

Book Description
The author sought to expand on the otherwise national emergency censorship order that developed during the time of events. As the second Earth diplomatic exchange transpired, in Saint Charles County, Missouri, US of A, an extension of plans to further destroy the United States of America began to unfold. Possibly the fifth time in the last fifty years by this adversary militancy-guerilla faction that would add another 1,300 Americans killed in the United States, an additional 325-plus US servicemen and servicewomen killed, and nearly another 1,000 injured. The extent that the US censorship order expanded national defense coverage would assist in various national security issues and further limit assassination attempts on local, state, national, and international elected officials and greatly reduce the numbers of fatalities and casualties associated. US President Bush Junior would suddenly skim the surface of these threats during the advance deployments during 9/11 responses. The Earth-English translation for the termed planet Nair (pronounced Nay-yeer, Nae-year, or Nai-Yer) would appear appropriate. A tentative human population of roughly 5.5-5.7 billion with similar civilization and culture philosophical parameters conducive with human-population standard. Almost identical human race(s) traces, traditions, and practices yet distinctly different. Readers who seek additional information should be cautioned, the standings of US censorship are still in effect, orderly and standing. Most elected officials may be restricted to "No comment" due to the extent of issues, facts, and circumstances applicable. Upcoming anticipated additional hearings and trials at the US Congress may present other information as time permits, or such procedural vote continuances become reestablished under emergency powers orders of the US Congress and subsequent sessions. Other "official" information may have been damaged or destroyed during the 9/11 attack events. Some items were stationed at the US Pentagon or were en route to the US capital just after first-contact events. AP (associated press) did a lot of pool drawing to have one international-national-recognized anchor (not affected by pre-/poststrike and labor negotiations at the time) to follow up and air-document events until other events developed at initial time of airing and subsequent US censorship order from established US military and US Government allowances at pre-/poststrike on networks where otherwise normal programming permitted by FCC guidelines or many stations viewing only "emergency alert" advisory caption. A second-class international-national-recognized anchor would do a follow-up with hospital permissions (e.g., first suffered a reported critical condition gunshot injury from drive-by militant guerillas at onsets of airing) though "spliced" and edited until US censorship order prevented additional media coverage at time.

Book Description
This book challenges the belief that female virginity can be reliably and unambiguously defined, tested and verified. Kelly analyses a variety of medieval Western European texts - including medical treatises and their Classical antecedents - and historical and legal documents. The main focus is the representation of both male and female virgins in saints' legends and romances. The author also makes a comparative study of examples from contemporary fiction, television and film in which testing virginity is a theme. Performing Virginity and Testing Chastity in the Middle Ages presents a compelling and provocative study of the parodox of bodily and spiritual integrity as both presence and absence.

Book Description
George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Book Description
News flash: Your body already knows how to detox; you just need to turn on the right cues to make it happen. Here's how, with a 14-day plan that will change your life forever. Time to detox and cleanse? Don't go with a fad diet that makes promises you can't keep (all juice, all the time—sound familiar?). Instead, turn to Samantha Heller for a program that really works. Cleanses, detoxes, and other purifying practices have been around for hundreds of years, from fasting to juicing and everything in between. Not all of them are tried-and-true, and most aren't scientifically sound. But finally, here it is: the only cleanse you'll ever need. The Only Cleanse is uniquely designed to fully integrate, elevate, and reestablish the body's biochemical balance. Heller uses a five-pronged approach that covers diet, stress, emotions, exercise, and sleep. She also reviews existing detox plans and explains the pros and cons, further emphasizing why her plan is the only one you need.
