SCIENCE: GENERAL ISSUES. What could fingers and sex possibly have in common? What does the shape of a child's fingers reveal about future musical talent? And why should professional footballers have longer fingers than other men? This book is about a simple measurement of the human hand: the 'finger ratio', or the length of the ring finger relative to the index finger. John Manning uses a tiny difference between the sexes - that men tend to have a greater finger ratio than women - to examine a dizzying group of questions about human behaviour, from sexuality, to musical ability, to predisposition to disease. Provocative, intriguing and balanced, John Manning's cutting-edge research poses many fruitful and unusual questions about what makes us as we are.
Fresh, funny, and fearless, The Middle Finger Project is a point-by-point primer on how to get unstuck, slay imposter syndrome, trust in your own worth and ability, and become a strong, capable, wonderful, weird, brilliant, ballsy, unfuckwithable YOU. "Don't worry, this isn't a book about God, nor is it a book about Ryan Gosling (second in command). But it is a book about authority and becoming your own." --Ash Ambirge After a string of dead-end jobs and a death in the family, Ash Ambirge was down to her last $26 and sleeping in a Kmart parking lot when she faced the truth: No one was coming to her rescue. It was up to her to appoint herself. That night led to what eventually became a six-figure freelance career as a sought-after marketing and copywriting consultant, all while sipping coffee from her front porch in Costa Rica. She then launched The Middle Finger Project, a blog and online course hub, which has provided tens of thousands of young "women who disobey" with the tools and mindset to give everyone else's expectations the finger and get on your own path to happiness, wealth, independence, and adventure. In her first book, Ash draws on her unconventional personal story to offer a fun, bracing, and occasionally potty-mouthed manifesto for the transformative power of radical self-reliance. Employing the signature wit and wordsmithing she's used to build an avid following, she offers paradigm-shifting advice along the lines of: • The best feeling in the world is knowing who you are and what you're capable of doing. • Life circumstances are not life sentences. If a Scranton girl who grew up in a trailer park can make it, so can you. • What you believe about yourself will either murder your chances or save your life. So why not believe something good? • You don't need a high-ranking job title to be authorized to contribute. You just need to contribute. • Be your own authority. Authority only works as long as you trust that someone smarter than you is making the rules. • The way you become a force is by being the most radically real version of yourself that you can be. • You only have 12 fucks a day to give, so use them wisely.

A bighearted and moving debut about a wry retired schoolteacher whose decade-old secret threatens to come to light and send shockwaves through her small Texas town. Billington, Texas, is a place where nothing changes. Well, almost nothing. For the first time in nearly four decades, Mary Alice Roth is not getting ready for the first day of school at Billington High. A few months into her retirement—or, district mandated exile as she calls it—Mary Alice does not know how to fill her days. The annual picnic is coming up, but that isn’t nearly enough since the menu never changes and she had the roles mentally assigned weeks ago. At least there’s Ellie, who stops by each morning for coffee and whose reemergence in Mary Alice’s life is the one thing soothing the sting of retirement. Mary Alice and Ellie were a pair since the day Ellie moved in next door. That they both were single mothers—Mary Alice widowed, Ellie divorced—with sons the same age was a pleasant coincidence, but they were forever linked when they lost the boys, one right after the other. Years later, the two are working their way back to a comfortable friendship. But when Mary Alice’s sister arrives on her doorstep with a staggering piece of news, it jeopardizes the careful shell she’s built around her life. The whole of her friendship with Ellie is put at risk, the fabric of a place as steadfast as Billington is questioned, and the unflappable, knotty fixture that is Mary Alice Roth might have to change after all.

Captain Harding had bought an estate where the family lived a comfortable life.

An action-adventure and love story set in Africa. Seventeen-year-old Mal is a bit of a problem child with a Napoleon complex, but when he goes on a school trip to London, he soon learns that there are worse things in the world than humorless teachers and faculty. Much worse, in fact. Instead of enjoying a holiday with his mates in the big city, he’s abducted, drugged, and shipped out of the country—first to France, then to Africa. But he’s not the only young victim to find himself in this predicament. Along with him is the lovely Harriet, a boy named Phillip, and a girl named Sandra. The foursome quickly develops a tight bond that serves them well against their captors, two sadistic men named Jean and Lopez. As they make their way across the continent, the youngsters endure physical and emotional abuses, plotting their escape all the while. Although salvation eventually comes for Mal, it’s not without its price, and the horrors of his African ordeal follow him back to Leeds, haunting him. In the end, the lessons he learns in the wilderness serve him well for his greatest challenge: overcoming lifelong bullying. Batley’s narrative instincts keep the page-turning plot engaging. However, that fast pace comes at the expense of nearly everything else. The villains are one-dimensional and predictably (if gruesomely) vile. Batley’s narrative instincts keep the page-turning plot.

It’s an exhausting vortex of emotion and intrigue with a few references to black magic. -BlueInk Review If danger and a glimpse at the evil underbelly of mankind were enough to make for an exciting action/adventure novel, The Finger of God would earn high honors. The perils that Malcolm encounters are both numerous and horrific. -Clarion Review
