Vienna Mortenson isn’t your typical gambler. She prefers to stay under the radar, using her poker winnings to support her family and her community, including the local search and rescue team, which she heads up. Out in the backcountry there’s no time for hesitation when lives are on the line. Vienna prides herself on being tough and decisive.

Book Description
Glimpse Behind the Façade of Rich and Famous Women If you liked The Last Castle and Lean In, you’ll love Women of Means. The Grass Isn't Greener on the Other Side. Heiresses have always been viewed with eyes of envy. They were the ones for whom the cornucopia had been upended, showering them with unimaginable wealth and opportunity. However, through intimate historical biographies, Women of Means shows us that oftentimes the weaving sisters saved their most heart-wrenching tapestries for the destinies of wealthy women. Happily Never After. From the author of Behind Every Great Man, we now have Women of Means, vignettes of the women who were slated from birth―or marriage―to great privilege, only to endure lives which were the stuff Russian tragic heroines are made of. They are the nonfictional Richard Corys―those not slated for happily ever after. Women of Means is bound to be a non-fiction best seller, full of the best biographies of all time. Some of the women whose silver spoons rusted include: • Almira Carnarvon, the real-life counterpart to Lady Cora of Downton Abbey • Liliane Bettencourt, whose chemist father created L’Oreal... and was a Nazi collaborator • Peggy Guggenheim, who had an insatiable appetite for modern art and men • Nica Rothschild, who traded her gilded life to become the Baroness of Bebop • Jocelyn Wildenstein, who became a cosmetology-enhanced cat-woman • Ruth Madoff, the dethroned queen of Manhattan • Patty Hearst, who trod the path from heiress... to terrorist

Book Description
In all latitudes, writers hold out a mirror, leading the reader to awareness by telling real or imaginary stories about people of good will who try to save what can be saved, and about animals showing humans the way to follow. Such tales argue that, in spite of all destructions and tragedies, if we are just aware of, and connected to, the real world around us, to the blade of grass at our feet and the star above our heads, there is hope in a reconciliation with the Earth. This may start with the emergence, or, rather, the return, of a nonverbal language, restoring the connection between human beings and the nonhuman world, through a form of communication beyond verbalization. Through a journey in Anglophone literature, with examples taken from Aboriginal, African, American, English, Canadian and Indian works, this book shows the role played by literature in the protection of the planet. It argues that literature reveals the fundamental idea that everything is connected and that it is only when most people are aware of this connection that the world will change. Exactly as a tree is connected with all the animal life in and around it, texts show that nothing should be separated. From Shakespeare’s theatre to ecopoetics, from travel writing to detective novels, from children’s books to novels, all literary genres show that literature responds to the violence destroying lands, men and nonhuman creatures, whose voices can be heard through texts.

Book Description
'A major talent' Irvine Welsh 'Remarkable, beautiful, magic. Like Ulysses for those who can't cope with reading Ulysses' Paolo Hewitt 'We're all in the gutter but some of us are ogling the sparkles.' Set at the fag-end of the 1960s and framed as a novel within a novel published by a seedy London purveyor of pulp fiction, MAN-EATING TYPEWRITER is a homage to the avant-garde counterculture of the 20th century. Told in Polari, it is the story of an anarchist named Raymond Novak and his plan to commit a 'fantabulosa crime' in 276 days that will revolt the world. A surrealistic odyssey that stretches from occupied Paris to the cruise-liner SS Unmentionable to lawless Tangier before settling in Swinging London, the book casts Novak as an agitator and freedom fighter - but, as his memoirs become more and more threatening, his publishers find themselves far more involved in his violent personality cult than they ever intended. Constructed like a hallucinogenic cocktail of A Clockwork Orange, Pale Fire and Jean Genet's jailbird fantasies, MAN-EATING TYPEWRITER is an act of seductive sedition by a writer with unfathomable literary talent and boldness. Wild, transgressive, erotic and resolutely uncompromising, this marks the return of a writer who is out there on an island of his own making; a book that will be talked about, celebrated and puzzled over for decades.

Book Description
The book ‘The Chosen Ones’ represents a staunch and unwavering commitment to face life, overcome difficulties, and to know how to enjoy it at all times along the path of the evolution of consciousness. In this sense, the author Margarita Arnal Moscardó reveals to us, through her stories, a path to live life.Reading this book is giving yourself the opportunity to delve into the ancestral feminine force. The author’s great understanding of feelings and her connection with a wisdom that connects with our soul, offers answers on the initiation of the path to overcoming difficulties, while acknowledging the happy moments that life offers.The Chosen Ones an exciting novel that captivates the reader from the first moment, is based on the spiritual adventures of three women throughout their lives. The Chosen Ones is the telling of three stories, perhaps not by chance, as the number three is considered the "perfect number" according to spiritual traditions. In the three stories, we find a wide spectrum of situations that bathe the individual in joy, love, and happiness or at the same time, flood with deep sadness, lost love, and suffering.Perhaps a more subliminal message in the book, but latent in each of the three stories, is the sublime claim of the inalienable right for women to enjoy the path of life, whatever future or destiny holds for each of them, for ALL the women (given that there are three stories). The ties, obstacles, and problems that women face can in no way prevent them from achieving their happiness. Pain and suffering do not justify the martyrdom of waiting for an earthly existence without both.The depth of the book is combined with sweetness, as well as the clarity and courage with which pain is described, the inevitable goodbye to loved ones and the "maybe we will meet again sometime, somewhere". They are intermingled with a touch between realism and idealism and a sense of humor, while offering an apprenticeship in the initiation rituals offered by some of the cultures of the earth.From all this it can be deduced that the author Margarita Arnal Moscardó shows authentic knowledge of the different visions of approach to the spiritual, from the different cultural-spiritual experiences that coexist on earth.
