The Bermudez Triangle
Author: Maureen Johnson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101578734
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Grade 9 Up–Johnson begins this exceptional novel in a lightweight fashion but quickly segues into more serious issues that affect the three young women who make up the Bermudez Triangle. It is the summer before their senior year in Saratoga Springs, NY. At first, organized, serious Nina has trouble adjusting to her leadership workshop at Stanford University. Although she desperately misses Avery and Mel, who are waitresses at a restaurant back home, she quickly falls head over heels for eco-warrior Steve, who has grown up in a commune on the West Coast–so different from Nina's secure middle-class experience. When she returns to New York, she immediately senses that Mel and Avery are keeping secrets and soon discovers that they have become lovers. Rocked to the core, Nina wishes them happiness, but feels excluded and lonely, especially as her long-distance relationship begins to deteriorate. As is typical for teens, the girls obsess ad nauseam over their romantic relationships. Yet this narrow focus lends authenticity to the narrative, and readers become drawn into the characters' lives as they stumble toward adulthood, fall in and out of love, enlarge their circle of friends, and rethink their values.

Practical health and wellness strategies for real life from Lauren Imparato, creator of the I.AM.YOU. lifestyle brand and yoga studio. Rest to rage. Meditate to work. Cleanse to get dirty. Enough preaching about self-deprivation. No more striving for bodily purity. Who has the patience—or the time!—for strict dietary restrictions and hours of meditation? Let’s get real.

Or a yoga pose you can do at your desk. Or a way to debloat what feels like an alien baby in your abdomen. Retox isn’t about changing who you are or denying life’s pleasures. It’s about tailoring sensible, scientifically-based health practices to the life you already live. It’s about working hard, playing harder, and renewing your balance and energy so you can do it all again. In Retox, health expert Lauren Imparato strips yoga down to its anatomical principles, offering practical tips for fast relief. Then, drawing from a variety of disciplines—from psychology to nutrition to Tibetan philosophy—she designs no-nonsense strategies and delicious recipes to combat the most common challenges of modern life: • Stress and anxiety • Low energy • Back pain and headaches • Hangovers • PMS • Sleep Deprivation • And much more...

Book Description
Dr Lin Berwick MBE is totally blind, has Cerebral Palsy Quadriplegia, partial hearing loss, and is a permanent wheelchair user who has spent the whole of her life within the care system. Firstly, through the help of loving parents, then, with her husband, Ralph, and latterly, with care provided by private, 24/7 live-in carers. This book tells something of the struggles, pitfalls, and problems that Lin and her carers have to deal with on a daily basis. Sometimes life has been chaotic, and in terms of care - traumatic. Lin has to be handled with great sensitivity to her pain and when the carer is good at their job, it works wonderfully well. But when the carer has no real concept of how to deal with pain, feelings, and the completion of tasks, then it can be a recipe for disaster. Lin is also a trained psychotherapeutic counsellor. This book draws on experiences that she has dealt with in many different areas, such as, grief and loss, and a striving to survive when others may want her to stay within a 'sick' system. Lin is not one for staying in bed - she still has an active mind and wants to experience the world in all its fullness, despite her disabilities, making the most of what time she has left. She is now in her seventies and has remarkably defied the opinions of the medical profession that told her and her family that she would not live beyond her teens. She is still defying all the odds. She comes from a background as a writer, freelance journalist, and broadcaster. She has many experiences from which to draw. Lin hopes that the reader will find the book both helpful, and challenging.

The Count of Monte Cristo
Author: Alexandre Dumas
Publisher: Standard Ebooks
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1630
Book Description
Edmond Dantès is a young man about to be made captain of a cargo vessel and marry his sweetheart. But he is arrested at his pre-wedding feast, having been falsely accused of being a Bonapartist. Thrown into the notorious Château d’If prison, he eventually meets an ancient inmate who teaches him language, science, and passes hints of a hidden fortune. When Edmond makes his way out of prison, he plots to reward those who stood by him (his old employer, for one), and to seek revenge on the men who betrayed him: one who wrote the letter that denounced him, one that married his fiancée in his absence, and one who knew Dantès was innocent but stood idly by and did nothing. The Count of Monte Cristo is another of Alexandre Dumas’ thrilling adventure stories, possibly more popular even than The Three Musketeers. Originally serialized in a French newspaper over the course of a year-and-a-half, it was enormously popular after its publication in book form, and has never been out of print since. Its timeless story of adventure, historical drama, romance, revenge, and Eastern mystery has been the source of over forty movies and TV series. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 870
Book Description
"The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas is a captivating adventure novel that tells the story of Edmond Dantès, a young Marseille sailor unjustly imprisoned. Victim of a plot orchestrated by jealous rivals, Dantès is accused of treason and locked up in the sinister fortress of Château d'If. During his long incarceration, Dantès meets Abbé Faria, an erudite prisoner who becomes his mentor. Faria reveals to him the existence of a treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. After Faria's death, Dantès escapes spectacularly and discovers the fabulous treasure, which gives him immeasurable wealth. Transformed by the ordeal and fortune, Dantès reappears in Parisian high society under the mysterious identity of the Count of Monte Cristo. He then implements a meticulous plan of revenge against those who betrayed him: Fernand Mondego, Baron Danglars, Gérard de Villefort, and Caderousse. Each act of retaliation is cleverly orchestrated, revealing the secrets and crimes of his enemies. Throughout his quest, Monte Cristo is confronted with the unforeseen consequences of his actions, particularly on innocents. The novel thus explores themes of justice, redemption, and the limits of vengeance. The transformation of Dantès, from a naive young man to a relentless avenger, then to a being capable of compassion, constitutes the emotional heart of the work. Dumas weaves a complex plot, populated with memorable characters and striking twists. "The Count of Monte Cristo" remains a timeless classic, combining adventure, romance, and moral reflection in a captivating narrative.
