Where women are created for the pleasure of men, beauty is the first duty of every girl. In Louise O'Neill's world of Only Every Yours women are no longer born naturally, girls (called "eves") are raised in Schools and trained in the arts of pleasing men until they come of age. Freida and Isabel are best friends. Now, aged sixteen and in their final year, they expect to be selected as companions--wives to powerful men. All they have to do is ensure they stay in the top ten beautiful girls in their year. The alternatives--life as a concubine, or a chastity (teaching endless generations of girls)--are too horrible to contemplate. But as the intensity of final year takes hold, the pressure to be perfect mounts. Isabel starts to self-destruct, putting her beauty--her only asset--in peril. And then into this sealed female environment, the boys arrive, eager to choose a bride. Freida must fight for her future--even if it means betraying the only friend, the only love, she has ever known.
"Why bother with history? Keith Jenkins has an answer. He helps us re-think the "end of history", as signalled by postmodernity. Readers may disagree with him, but he never fails to provoke debate about the future of the past." Joanna Bourke, Professor of History, Birkbeck College Keith Jenkins’ work on historical theory is renowned; this collection presents the essential elements of his work over the last fifteen years. Here we see Jenkins address the difficult and complex question of defining the limits of history. The collection draws together the key pieces of his work in one handy volume, encompassing the ever controversial issue of postmodernism and history, questions on the end of history and radical history into the future. Exchanges with Perez Zagorin and Michael Coleman further illuminate the level of debate that has surrounded postmodernism, and which continues to do so. An extended introduction and abstracts which contextualize each piece, together with a foreword by Hayden White and an afterword by Alun Munslow, make this collection essential reading for all those interested in the theory and practice of history and its development over the last few decades.
In this engaging sequel to Rethinking History, Keith Jenkins argues for a re-figuration of historical study. At the core of his survey lies the realization that objective and disinterested histories as well as historical 'truth' are unachievable. The past and questions about the nature of history remain interminably open to new and disobedient approaches. Jenkins reassesses conventional history in a bold fashion. His committed and radical study presents new ways of 'thinking history', a new methodology and philosophy and their impact on historical practice. This volume is written for students and teachers of history, illuminating and changing the core of their discipline.

There are three formless facts that create our reality from moment to moment. Like gravity, they exist whether we believe them or not. With them, not only do we create our world through our thoughts, but we also create our world 'of thought'. And merely by having an understanding of how they work allows us freedom from worry, stress and fear and opens us up to the infinite potential of the universe through creativity, compassion and love. And the way to access this inner source of wisdom is to DO NOTHING! Because we already have it. As the saying goes: "You are already enlightened, you just don't know it yet..."
The only thing Amanda knows is her name. And, she isn’t even certain of that. Amanda has no memory of what came before, only that she now walks alone in a world gone mad. When she is caught breaking into Miranda’s house a relationship is forged that forces them both to question what little they do remember. This is a story about identity and discovery, about loneliness and isolation. As much as it is about survival in a post-apocalyptic world, AMANDA is about that quest we all find ourselves on. Who we are, who we want to be, who we are allowed to be. “Set in a terrifying landscape, as unique as The Day of the Triffids, AMANDA paints a portrait of a world where the main characters are as lost as the reader. A new and entirely believable universe that should breathe new life into the post-apocalyptic genre. AMANDA seems the perfect canvas for this emotional rollercoaster with a mind bending twist. Will leave you stunned and wanting to know what happens next.” H.R.G. Book one in the Broken Echoes anthology. UPDATE: Part 2 should be available by mid year 2016.
The best writing on tennis from the best tennis writers in the business. Racquet was founded in 2016 to be the voice of a new tennis boom. When the popularity of tennis peaked in the late '70s and early '80s, the sport was populated by buccaneering talents with outsize personas, such as Borg, Evert, McEnroe, Navratilova, Gerulaitis, Austin, King, and Connors. The game was played in every park, and tennis clothes became appropriate attire for cocktails as well as for a match. With success, however, came polish, and tennis--if not the game itself, then how it came to be represented in the culture--got boring. Having a big personality was no longer a virtue. Tennis went back to being a bastion of the elite. Racquet is a place for those who knew all along that the spirit of the tennis boom was alive. Tennis has always been present in the arts, in the popular culture, in the skateboarding, hip-hop, and fashion worlds. That side of tennis was--and is--obscured by the tightly controlled messaging of the athletes, the corporate glean of the major tournaments, and the all-white attire of the country-club scene. Racquet was launched to represent the latent, diverse, and large constituency of tennis that has not been embraced by the sport writ large. Featuring the work of some of today's finest writers, the quarterly independent magazine highlights the art, culture, and style that are adjacent to the sport--and just enough of the pro game to keep the diehards satisfied. This collection features some of the best writing from the first four years of Racquet and tackles such immediate topics as: How should tennis smell? What's the deal with Andre Agassi's private jet? What can a professional tennis player learn from Philip Roth? Why is tennis important in Lolita? How was Arthur Ashe like Muhammad Ali? And, crucially, what lessons have we learned from the implosion of that first tennis boom?

Waipuna, the Maori people, are Polynesian by heritage who migrated to New Zealand in about the eighth century AD from Polynesia. The European explorers arrived in the seventeenth century. Most place names are Maori, hence the name Waipuna. Wai is water in Maori and Puna describes spring water that bubbles from the ground, and in this case, as time passed it formed a deep pool of crystal clear water was formed. This was where a young couple met secretly through the school holidays, and their subsequent struggle to find each other. Their travels took them to South Africa, Rhodesia, and Britain. New Zealand is a very young country with snowy mountains, glaciers, and fiords in the south to volcanic mountains and densely bush-clad ranges in the north, with a climate that is described as Mediterranean. Peter and Barbaras families lived and worked in the Lower North Island, but actually, many of the activities took place in the Upper North Island, where I grew up on a dairy farm. Although many of the adventures and individuals actually took place and were real, this story is fiction.
