A Life Reimagined by Jill Halfpenny (.ePUB)
📮 A Life Reimagined by Jill Halfpenny (.ePUB) Heartfelt and honest, A Life Reimagined is a touching memoir of love, loss and life after tragedy from beloved actress Jill Halfpenny. When Jill was four, her father died. He went to play his weekly game of five-a-side football, had a heart attack and never came home. In 2017, in cruelly similar circumstances, Jill’s partner Matt went to a gym class, suffered a cardiac arrest and never came home. These two tragic events frame Jill’s story in Life Reimagined as she explores how she dealt with profound grief as a child and teenager and then later in life as a partner and mother. When Matt died, Jill committed to processing her grief in ways she hadn’t attempted before: she had to rebuild her father, recreate that grief and lose him all over again. She explored the physiology of grief, attended grief retreats, read every book out there and underwent extensive therapy. A Life Reimagined is Jill's space to share what she has learnt – both about herself and about how we view grief as a society – in the hope that she can help readers feel like they can start to put one foot in front of the other and feel hopeful about life again. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Jill Halfpenny Size 9.1MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/pYoXQodTQsut https://devuploads.com/eyyzs79vf9in

📮 Living Hot by Clive Hamilton, George Wilkenfeld (.ePUB) Living Hot tells the blunt truth about our current climate change predicament: it's time to get cracking on making Australia resilient to intensifying climate extremes. If we prepare well, we can give ourselves a fighting chance to preserve some of the best of what we have, build stronger and fairer communities, find a path through the escalating pressures of a warming world – and even find new ways to flourish. To get there, we must leave behind both the doomism and the wishful thinking currently holding us back. In Living Hot, highly respected academic Clive Hamilton and policy consultant George Wilkenfeld shift the emphasis away from reducing carbon emissions and on to making Australia resilient, outlining a vision for an all-embracing and on-going program of investment and social change to protect ourselves from the ravages of a changing climate. Living Hot is a sober assessment of the challenges we face, and a farsighted road map for what we must do next if we want to survive and even thrive on our heating planet. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Clive Hamilton, George Wilkenfeld Size 1.2MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/grPIGuttS0cb https://devuploads.com/o1ovn6dzd0eb

The Racket by Conor Niland (.ePUB)
📮 The Racket by Conor Niland (.ePUB) When Conor Niland was 16, he got the chance to hit with Serena Williams at Nick Bollettieri’s famed tennis academy. Conor, the Irish junior number one, was feeling a bit homesick. Serena, also 16, already owned her own house beside the academy. Conor Niland knows what it’s like when Roger Federer walks into the dressing room (‘Ciao, bonjour, hello!’), and he has had the exquisitely terrible experience of facing Novak Djokovic in the world’s biggest tennis stadium – while suffering from food poisoning. But he never reached the very top. The Racket is the story of pro tennis’s 99%: the players who roam the globe in hope of climbing the rankings and squeaking into the Grand Slam tournaments. It brings us into a world where a few dozen super-rich players – travelling with coaches and physios – share a stage with lonely touring pros whose earnings barely cover their expenses. Painting a vivid picture of the social dynamics on tour, the economics of the game, and the shadows cast by gambling and doping, The Racket is a witty and revealing underdog’s memoir and a unique look inside a fascinating hidden world. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Conor Niland Size 1.5MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/PIyOnyhsktNC https://devuploads.com/dksr76s8aw8z

Reeling in the Queers by Páraic Kerrigan (.ePUB)
📮 Reeling in the Queers by Páraic Kerrigan (.ePUB) Celebrates 50 years of LGBTQ rights in Ireland with a collection of lesser-known stories of the movement's evolution through 14 pivotal moments. Marking fifty years of the founding of an LGBTQ rights movement in Ireland, Reeling in the Queers explores the lesser-known stories of the fight for LGBTQ rights since 1974, beyond decriminalisation and Marriage Equality. From 1990s boy bands to the AIDS priest, Fr Bernárd Lynch, from the Belfast Lesbian Line to proud parenting, from the earliest Pride events to the last days of Alternative Miss Ireland, fourteen distinct moments map the changing social and cultural landscape of Ireland. These stories, from across the island of Ireland – and further afield – celebrate a strong community and its allies, and speak across the generations. Together, they tell a new story of the gains, losses, devastation and community rising from the ashes of defeat. It is a hugely enjoyable and insightful read for both those who lived through this movement and for those who enjoy its benefits today. Drawing from oral history as well as archives, Reeling in the Queers brings even more to life the great big queer tapestry in Ireland. Queer history in Ireland is Irish history and acknowledging and celebrating the light and the dark of it protects all of our futures as much as our pasts. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Páraic Kerrigan Size 3.4MB Category Non-Fiction > History > LGBT File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/cV0SeEOvZKT7 https://devuploads.com/x90fe5zcdj3m

Bad Guys Need Love Too by Isabel Jordan (.ePUB)
📮 Bad Guys Need Love Too by Isabel Jordan (.ePUB) Sometimes a bad guy is exactly the kind of hero you need… No one sends a mafia hitman after a florist. That’s what Lark Shaw had always assumed. Oh, how wrong she’d been. Almost dead wrong. Thankfully, Ren Solace showed up in all his grumpy, tattooed, disturbingly hot glory to whisk her away to safety when she needed him most. In fact, his timing was a little too good. Probably because he’d apparently been stalking her. For years. Turns out he’s also a hacker with a genius-level IQ and an impressive criminal resume. And he wants to use his considerable, um, assets to protect her. Now, Lark’s in forced proximity with her entirely too sexy savior, trying to figure out how she offended the mafia and evade an assassin. This should be the scariest thing she’s ever faced. But the messy, complicated feelings she’s developing for Ren? For some reason, those are way scarier… ♻️ Book's Info: Author Isabel Jordan Size 1.2MB Category Fiction > Romance File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/FXDaiHOcvx0s https://devuploads.com/llkz79v1u39q

Japan at War, 1914-1952 by Jeremy A. Yellen (.ePUB)
📮 Japan at War, 1914-1952 by Jeremy A. Yellen (.ePUB) Japan at War, 1914–1952, is a synthetic and interpretive history that highlights the centrality of war to the modern Japanese experience. The author argues that war was central to Japanese life in this period—the era when Japan rose and fell as a world power. The volume examines how World War I set off profound changes that led to the rise of a politicized military, aggressive imperial expansion, and the militarization of Japanese social, political, and economic life. War was extraordinarily popular, which helped confirm Japan’s aggressive imperialism in the 1930s and war across the Asia-Pacific in the 1940s. It took a defeat by 1945 and occupation through 1952 to undo war as a national concern and to remake Japan into a peaceful nation-state. In telling the story of Japan in war and peace, this book highlights the importance of Japan in the creation of the modern world. This study of political power and its influences in domestic and foreign affairs will be of great value to nonspecialist readers who are interested in this period, undergraduate and postgraduate students in introductory classes, and scholars interested in Japanese history and political, military, and international history. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Jeremy A.

Shakespeare is Hard, but so is Life by Fintan O'Toole (.ePUB)
📮 Shakespeare is Hard, but so is Life by Fintan O'Toole (.ePUB) The works of Shakespeare have become staples of literature. They are everywhere, from our early schooling to the lecture rooms of academia, from classic theatre to modern adaptations on stage and screen. But how well do we really know his plays? In this witty, iconoclastic book, the bestselling author Fintan O'Toole examines four of Shakespeare's most enduring tragedies: Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello and King Lear. He shows how their tragic heroes have been over-simplified and moulded to fit restrictive, conservative values, and restores the true heart and spirit of the classics. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Fintan O'Toole Size 3.7MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational > Literary Criticism File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/D3RgHU1QmdJf https://devuploads.com/xu44nxj17utl

Too Tired to Fight by Erin Mitchell MACP, Stephen Mitchell PhD (.ePUB)
📮 Too Tired to Fight by Erin Mitchell MACP, Stephen Mitchell PhD (.ePUB) How couples with kids can transform 13 common relationship fights into closer connection, from popular Instagram counselors Erin and Stephen Mitchell (@couples.counseling.for.parents). Parenting changes a couple’s relationship in fundamental ways, but most parents are too exhausted from the demands of life, work, and engaging their kids to prioritize their relationship. This can lead to repeated conflict and an overwhelming sense of anxiety, anger, hurt, and loneliness…just when you need your partner’s support the most. The good news: conflict is actually a sign that you are trying to connect with your partner—you’re just stuck in an old pattern of communication. In Too Tired to Fight, Erin and Stephen Mitchell use their 20-plus years of counseling experience to walk couples through the 13 conflicts that are not just normal but necessary to keep a partnership strong once kids enter the picture, including: The “Your Parenting Is Wrong” Conflict. The “I’m More Tired Than You” Conflict. The “Stop Choosing Your Family Over Ours” Conflict. The “Sex Life? What Sex Life?” Conflict In each scenario, they show how this conflict plays out—and offer scripts, questions for reflection, and their tried-and-true Conflict to Connection Equation that couples can use in the moment to communicate true repair and resolution. Their secret: by expressing your feelings and intentionally listening to your partner—not just venting or reacting to your stress-response system—you can work through the “pain points” of parenthood together and actually make your relationship happier and healthier as a result. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Erin Mitchell Macp, Stephen Mitchell Phd Size 0.7MB Category Non-Fiction > Health, Fitness & Self-help File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/hG1lheppEtXV https://devuploads.com/wet7la4ju4h1

At first startled by his uncanny resemblance to the author's photo, he opened the volume and was electrified.

Ayoade embarked on a documentary, The Unfinished Harauld Hughes, to understand the unfathomable collapse of Hughes's final film O Bedlam!

The Lowland South American World by Casey High, Luiz Costa (.ePUB)
📮 The Lowland South American World by Casey High, Luiz Costa (.ePUB) The Lowland South American World showcases cutting-edge research on the anthropology of Lowland South America, providing both an in-depth knowledge of Lowland South American life ways and engaging readers in urgent social, environmental, and political issues in the contemporary world. Covering the vast expanse of a region that includes all of South America except for the Andes, its 40 chapters engage with questions of what “Lowland South America” means as a geographical designation, both in studies of Indigenous Amazonian peoples and other lowland areas of the continent. They emphasize the multiple ways that local practices and cosmologies challenge conventional Western ideas about nature, culture, personhood, sociality, community, and Indigenous people. Some of the region’s well-known contributions to anthropology, such as animism, perspectivism, and novel approaches to the body are updated here with new ethnography and in light of the varying political situations in which the region’s peoples find themselves. With contributions by authors from 15 different countries, including a number of Indigenous anthropologists and activists, this book will set the agenda for future research in the continent. The Lowland South American World is a valuable resource for scholars and students of anthropology, Latin American studies and Indigenous studies, as well history, geography and other social sciences. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Casey High, Luiz Costa Size 47MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/wamSmmvWOLVo https://devuploads.com/rzp48npjg21a

Focusing on artists and their creative approach to space, form, materials and movement, the book looks at iconic figures such as Loïe Fuller, Oskar Schlemmer and Leigh Bowery, amongst contemporary examples of practitioners that are blurring disciplinary boundaries between fashion, dance, performance and theatre. The book includes chapters by Dr Sofia Pantouvaki, who focuses on performance costume as a means of research; Christina Lindgren, who presents the findings of the four-year Costume Agency project at Oslo National Academy of the Arts in Norway; Charlotte Østergaard, who discusses the implications of 'Listening with costume' and Felix Choong, writing on 'Contemporary Runways, Contemporary Costumes'. The final part of the volume, 'The Practitioners’ Voice', examines current practice through interviews and contributions from key practitioners with an afterword by Dr Rachel Hann. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Susan Marshall Size 15MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/iRrF9SMPDtiW https://devuploads.com/vpqugkru25u6

She may be one of the nation’s favourite TV personalities – whether playing Tracey Stubbs in Birds of a Feather or being a regular on Loose Women – but she can’t help hilariously oversharing. Luckily, this is an ideal trait for her first-ever memoir . . . Taking us back to the very beginning, growing up in a North London council house, Linda explains how she came to attend theatre school aged nine, where she met Pauline Quirke. As their friendship blossomed and evolved into a professional partnership, small parts in theatre and film productions culminated in the pair being cast in the enduring and beloved sitcom Birds of a Feather. With a wicked glint in her eye, Linda recounts the twists and turns of an actor’s life, sharing tales of backstage antics, on-set stories and demanding co-stars from across her her varied and celebrated career. However, it has not all been laughter, and she candidly talks about the struggles she’s faced in her personal life and the battles she has had to overcome. Yet her determination to pull herself back from the brink shows us that the tough times really do make us stronger.

Cleopatra and the Undoing of Hollywood by Patrick Humphries (.ePUB)
📮 Cleopatra and the Undoing of Hollywood by Patrick Humphries (.ePUB) There had been stars before. There had been films prior to Cleopatra. But in all the cynical, greedy, magical, histrionic history of the movies, there had never been a combination like that of Elizabeth Taylor and Cleopatra. Other films may have taken more money, won more awards or attracted better reviews, but none have come close to the legend that is Cleopatra. What began in 1958 as a remake of the 1917 Theda Bara film, which starred Joan Collins and was projected to cost $2 million, would open five years later, having cost nearly twenty times as much. The budget had skyrocketed enormously as the production went through extravagant sets in two different countries, two directors and six leading men – and this was on top of Elizabeth Taylor's $1 million fee. But it was the off-screen romance between the two on-screen leads that really cemented Cleopatra's place in cinema history. Within weeks of Richard Burton's arrival in Italy, he and Taylor embarked on a tumultuous and passionate love affair that kept the Cuban Missile Crisis off the front pages and was denounced by the Vatican. Cleopatra and the Undoing of Hollywood is a story of lust, excess and hubris – and how one film nearly brought Hollywood to its knees. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Patrick Humphries Size 12MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/TfnlVwwSCy6m https://devuploads.com/kga3r0tm5p51

Sparta : Rise of a Warrior Nation by Philip Matyszak (.ePUB)
📮 Sparta : Rise of a Warrior Nation by Philip Matyszak (.ePUB) Their contemporaries were fascinated by the Spartans and we still are. They are portrayed as the stereotypical macho heroes: noble, laconic, totally fearless and impervious to discomfort and pain. What makes the study of Sparta so interesting is that to a large extent the Spartans lived up to this image. Ancient Sparta, however, was a city of contrasts. We might admire their physical toughness and heroism in adversity but Spartans also systematically abused their children. They gave rights to citizen women that were unmatched in Europe until the modern era, meanwhile subjecting their conquered subject peoples to a murderous reign of terror. Though idealized by the Athenian contemporaries of Socrates Sparta was almost devoid of intellectual achievement. Philip Matyszak explores two themes: how Sparta came to be the unique society it was, and the rise of the city from a Peloponnesian village to the military superpower of Greece. But above all, his focus is on the Spartan hoplite, the archetypal Greek warrior who was respected and feared throughout Greece in his own day, and who has since become a legend. The reader is shown the man behind the myth; who he was, who he thought he was, and the environment which produced him. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Philip Matyszak Size 3MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/OwfPLNv0Pnv6 https://devuploads.com/1fq8pumr9ppb
