"A heart-wrenching debut novel about relationships in its many forms--families, friendships, romance--and how Lily and Dari, coming from different backgrounds and different worlds, strive to find a connection through their differences as they fight against their own individual pasts"--
People spent the twentieth century obsessed with the future. We created technologies that would help connect us faster, gather news, map the planet, and compile knowledge. We strove for an instantaneous network where time and space could be compressed. Well, the future's arrived. We live in a continuous now enabled by Twitter, email, and a so-called real-time technological shift. Yet this "now" is an elusive goal that we can never quite reach. And the dissonance between our digital selves and our analog bodies has thrown us into a new state of anxiety: present shock.
Winter, 1981, and fifteen-year-old Alistair Black is wrestling with the fierce power of his imagination.

Twenty-First Century Drama by Siân Adiseshiah,Louise LePage Pdf
Within this landmark collection, original voices from the field of drama provide rich analysis of a selection of the most exciting and remarkable plays and productions of the twenty-first century. But what makes the drama of the new millenium so distinctive? Which events, themes, shifts, and paradigms are marking its stages? Kaleidoscopic in scope, Twenty-First Century Drama: What Happens Now creates a broad, rigorously critical framework for approaching the drama of this period, including its forms, playwrights, companies, institutions, collaborative projects, and directors. The collection has a deliberately British bent, examining established playwrights – such as Churchill, Brenton, and Hare – alongside a new generation of writers – including Stephens, Prebble, Kirkwood, Bartlett, and Kelly. Simultaneously international in scope, it engages with significant new work from the US, Japan, India, Australia, and the Netherlands, to reflect a twenty-first century context that is fundamentally globalized. The volume’s central themes – the financial crisis, austerity, climate change, new forms of human being, migration, class, race and gender, cultural politics and issues of nationhood – are mediated through fresh, cutting-edge perspectives.
What Just Happened? What Happens Now? What Happens Next? by Prepared By: Christian Media LLC Pdf
At every funeral, two elements always surface. First, people throw platitude after platitude, trying to make both themselves and the survivors of the deceased feel better about having lost a loved one. We say things like, "He/she is in a better place" or "He/she has gone to be with the Lord." There are too many such words expressed at internments to even mention in a work this size. The second most common thing that most all funerals have in common is people ask questions, seeking explanations about what has happened before, during, and after the death of their friend, family members, and others. Is there life after death? What is heaven/hell really like? What are they doing wherever it is that is where they are? Bookshelves and electronic media are replete with secular ideas and/or personal hypostasis about what happens after my beloved has left this life for another. This is where this work will differ. The subject at hand will be poured into God's Holy Word, and we will let the Bible interpret the Bible. The old phrase is applicable here, "If the first sense makes good sense, everything else is nonsense." We say: If the Bible makes sense, why look further to sources that at best can only report on what they are told happens by someone who has been declared clinically deceased and resurrected. Real or imagined. Why try to force man's philosophical guesses into the discussion populated with what God has given us. For more than a millennium people have concerned themselves with gathering information that would pertain to any sort of afterlife. As far back as the earliest Egyptian rulers believed that there was some sort of existence that would follow this earthly lifetime, people today are still asking questions and seeking more and more information on the subject. The writers of Christian Media, LLC have herein made an effort to expose what the Bible has to tell us about life after living on earth. Without personal doctrinal, opinion, or phycological contamination, the elements of existence after this world is put forth in expositional context. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: Because thou hast rejected knowledge. (Hosea 4:6 KJV) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:1-7 KJV)

ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Our earliest experiences shape our lives far down the road, and What Happened to You? provides powerful scientific and emotional insights into the behavioral patterns so many of us struggle to understand. “Through this lens we can build a renewed sense of personal self-worth and ultimately recalibrate our responses to circumstances, situations, and relationships. It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives.”—Oprah Winfrey This book is going to change the way you see your life. Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” Here, Winfrey shares stories from her own past, understanding through experience the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma and adversity at a young age. In conversation throughout the book, she and Dr. Perry focus on understanding people, behavior, and ourselves. It’s a subtle but profound shift in our approach to trauma, and it’s one that allows us to understand our pasts in order to clear a path to our future—opening the door to resilience and healing in a proven, powerful way.
