  1. 📮 Solidarity Betrayed by Ana Avendaño (.ePUB) In the years since #MeToo, there has been a fundamental shift in public consciousness about sexual harassment in the workplace. So what are trade unions, whose mission it is to improve the lives of workers, doing to address the issue? Solidarity Betrayed reckons with the labor movement’s failures on sexual harassment. Ana Avendaño draws on decades of organizing experience to provide a compelling insider’s account of trade unions’ complicity, collusion, victim blaming, and lack of perpetrator accountability. Sharing survivors’ stories and examples of how labor leaders and bureaucrats have perpetrated abuse, Avendaño explores how labor laws and practices contribute to the perpetuation of harassment. She concludes with positive examples of what some unions are already doing to address the problem, and offers aspirational recommendations that unions and their allies can adopt to create harassment-free workplaces. Ana Avendaño is the Director of the Equality and Justice Practice Clinic at the City University of New York (CUNY) Law School where she also teaches labor and employment law. She has held senior positions in the US labor movement, including serving as Assistant to the President of the AFL-CIO. She also runs Minga Strategies, a consulting firm where she helps unions to create healthy activist cultures. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Ana Avendaño Size 0.6MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/089DOOt8jbWo https://devuploads.com/woixibb7hel8

The Immortal Tailor:1. The Immortal Tailor: THE IMMORTAL WORLD IS IN TROUBLE, AND THE GODS DEMAND . . . THEIR TAILOR COME TO THE RESCUE? Long ago, Damien Greystone hung up his guns, knives, and rope for the quiet life of a tailor. Sure, his clients now include the likes of bloodthirsty vampires, a hair-obsessed Bigfoot, and fourteen insane deities, but at least Damien doesn’t have to kill anymore. And, sure, he’s been cursed to live alone for all eternity, but nobody’s life is perfect. Right? Unfortunately, his monk-like existence is about to come to a screeching halt. The gods’ powers are on the fritz, and they’re demanding his help. But when Damien starts investigating, he meets Sky Morales, a beautiful journalist who’s up to her ears in danger (and one very aggressive fairy). He has no choice but to dust off his weapons. Can he protect her without getting too close? Because his “curse of solitude” doesn’t negotiate, and bad things will happen to Sky if he so much as feels a flutter of affection. And as if that pressure weren’t enough, his precious store is being looked after by a love-sucking demon and a punk chick who has a knack for insulting everyone. Bigfoot isn’t pleased. The sooner Damien can get this job done, the faster he can get back to his peaceful life. If only he weren’t enjoying getting his hands dirty again. Just like the good old days that got him in trouble. 3. Dragon in Boots:3. Dragon in Boots: MEET DASH: MALE STRIPPER, ANIMAL LOVER, AND…DRAGON? JACQUELIN Jacquelin would do anything to save her struggling animal sanctuary—including bartending at a strip club, enduring drunken bachelorette parties, and putting up with her weirdo boss, who’s obsessed with all things pink. But nothing could prepare her for Dash: the club’s star performer with abs you could grate cheese on and an ego bigger than his, ahem, moves. From the moment Dash struts onto the stage, Jacquelin can’t decide if she wants to throw her drink at him or pour it over her head. “Is it just me, or is it scorching hot in here?” When the women in the audience start acting like wild animals, Jacquelin knows something strange is going on. Is Dash’s off-the-charts charisma driving her mad, or is there more to him than meets the abs? 📥 Download Links: 1.

  3. 📮 Crafting with Wooden Crates and Pallets by Natalie Wright (.ePUB) You don't have to be a carpenter or a home improvement expert to undertake these twenty-five projects, which combine elements of crafting and woodworking. Step-by-step instructions, accompanied by full-color photos, explain how to build surprisingly simple, attractive, and inexpensive indoor and outdoor furniture. The common denominators in these fun-filled and practical projects are ordinary wooden crates and pallets, which are readily available at craft and home improvement stores, vintage shops, and online. The first project demonstrates how easy it is to build your own crate from scratch. Indoor projects include storage shelves, nightstands, a bookshelf, an upholstered footstool, a benche, a side table, a desk, and storage units. Stepping outside, the projects feature a do-it-yourself children’s lemonade stand and a planter box. Several of the projects are equally functional indoors and out: decorative pieces, a game, a sign, a rolling cart, a toolbox, and other handy and playful items. The ease and simplicity of the projects make them a great way for novices — especially kids — to discover the pleasures and satisfaction of crafting and workworking. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Natalie Wright Size 89.6MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/9O87DXWw63nl https://devuploads.com/sjqbku4aahzs

  5. 📮 Gardener's Guide to Compact Plants by Jessica Walliser (.ePUB) Covering a broad array of landscape plants, including edibles, flowering and fruiting trees and shrubs, evergreens, and perennials, horticulturist Jessica Walliser takes a deep dive into the emerging category of compact plants. Whether short, narrow, columnar, or dwarf, this new and exciting group of plants provides the same decorative function as full-sized ornamental plants, but in a fraction of the space. Plus, edible compact plants offer comparable productivity, without having to add more square footage to the garden. In this comprehensive guide, Jessica uses her numerous contacts in the seed and plant production world to give space-challenged gardeners a heads up on what's new, as well as re-introducing a few traditional small-footprint favorites. In both urban and suburban neighborhoods, yards are shrinking, and big plants and gardens require too much maintenance for today's time-starved homeowners. If you're searching for plants that require less space and reduced day-to-day maintenance, dwarf shrubs and other compact plants to the rescue! With little to no pruning required, columnar trees, dwarf shrubs, mini veggies, short-statured perennials, and other compact plants fill a much-needed niche. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Jessica Walliser Size 39.5MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/AQJPN3XryY1Z https://devuploads.com/0z3skj31r1s7

But just as she unearths a telling clue and slots it into place, she finds herself in a race against time to finish the puzzle and solve the case—before the killer goes to pieces and finishes her off too . . . 📥 Download Links: 8.

  9. 📮 I'll Have What She's Having by Chelsea Handler (.ePUB) In hilarious and tender essays, #1 New York Times bestselling author Chelsea Handler shares her unforgettable story of becoming the woman she always wanted to be. There’s a woman I want to become, Chelsea Handler thought as a child. She’ll be strong and confident. She’ll light up a room and spread that light to make others feel better. She’ll make a living being herself. She’ll be a survivor. At ten years old, Chelsea opened a lemonade stand and realized she’d make more money if the drinks were spiked. So she added vodka to her recipe and used her earnings to upgrade herself to first-class on a family vacation—leaving her parents and siblings in coach. She moved to Los Angeles and got fired from her temp job when she admitted she didn’t know how to transfer calls. She’s played pickleball with the scions of an American dynasty. She’s sexted a governor. She shared psychedelics with strangers in Spain. When she accidentally ended up at dinner with Woody Allen, she was not going to leave the table without asking him a very personal pointed question. She went on national television and talked about having threesomes. She's never been one to hold back. But this life of adventure and absurdity is only part of her story. Chelsea knows what it is to truly show up for her family—canine and human, biological and chosen. She’s discovered how to spend time with herself, how to meditate, how to be open to love, and how to end a relationship with dignity. She is a sister to the many women who rely on her. Surprisingly vulnerable and always outrageous, Chelsea Handler captures the antic-filled, exhilarating, and joyful life she’s built—a life that makes the rest of us think, I’ll have what she’s having. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Chelsea Handler Size 1.4MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/CNaFxBwe46mP https://devuploads.com/3dzitaw5vtxr
  10. 📮 Oceans of Fate by Dan Black, James P. Delgado (.ePUB) The remarkable story of how one ship ― doomed by war ― intersected lives and crossed into history. Completed in 1913 for Canadian Pacific, the Empress of Asia plied the oceans for nearly 30 years. Built for long-haul ocean travel during peace-time, she saw wartime service as an armed merchant cruiser and troopship before Japanese dive-bombers destroyed her in 1942. Through the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression, she brought continents and people together, delivering mail and multimillion-dollar consignments of silk. As a luxurious passenger liner, she was a “Greyhound of the Pacific,” braving epic storms and smashing transpacific speed records. From stokehold to bridge, steerage to first-class staterooms, she steamed with a kaleidoscope of lives, including courageous and recalcitrant crew, immigrants and refugees seeking a better life or relief from disaster, drug smugglers, weapons dealers, and the idle and not-so-idle rich. This is the dramatic story of how that one ship and the lives of those on board intersected during a tumultuous period of world history, culminating in her sinking off Singapore in the Second World War. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Dan Black, James P.

  11. 📮 Song So Wild and Blue by Paul Lisicky (.ePUB) From the celebrated novelist and memoirist, a gorgeous account of how Joni Mitchell’s work has shaped his writing throughout his life. From the moment Paul Lisicky heard Joni Mitchell while growing up in New Jersey, he recognized she was that rarity among musicians—a talent whose combination of introspection, liberation, and deep musicality set her apart from any other artist of the time. As a young man, Paul was a budding songwriter who took his cues from Mitchell’s mysteries and idiosyncrasies. But as he matured, he set his guitar aside and turned to prose, a practice that would eventually take him to the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and into the professional world of letters. As the decades passed, Paul’s connection to Mitchell’s artistry only deepened. Joni’s music was a constant, a guide to life and an artist’s manual in one. As Paul navigated love and heartbreak and imaginative struggles and the vicissitudes of a creative career, he would return again and again to the lessons found in Joni’s songs, to the solace and challenges that only her musicianship could give. Song So Wild and Blue is a gorgeously written, beautifully intimate, and unique tribute to the woman who shaped generations of creators and thinkers. Lisicky offers his own coming-of-adulthood as testimony to the power of songwriting and staying true to your creative vision. A guide to life that is part memoir, part biography, and part homage, Song So Wild and Blue is a joy for devoted Joni enthusiasts, budding writers, and artists of all stripes. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Paul Lisicky Size 2.8MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/6NJi4Xlo9XMZ https://devuploads.com/phmuqxw2mkdj

Still, the show must go on, and as the lighthearted plot on-stage unfolds, the scene off-stage turns decidedly darker when the chef is found murdered. Rather than question an entire roomful of possible suspects, Shell determines that looking into the victim’s past will lead her to the culprit more quickly. What she finds is that the chef had left behind a disreputable past and a trail of disgruntled people, including a long string of women he’d wronged and a host of others who may have been out for revenge. But as Shell closes in on the killer, the killer is closing in on her. And she’s discovering that while too many cooks can spoil the broth, being a murderer’s next target can really ruin your appetite . . . ♻️ Book's Info: Author T. C.

  16. 📮 Pratap: A Defiant Newspaper by Chander Mohan, Jyotsna Mohan (.ePUB) The Urdu newspaper Pratap - and its Hindi counterpart Vir Pratap - had a long and eventful history. Launched by Mahashay Krishan on 30 March 1919 and ably carried on by his son Virendra and later his grandson Chander, it went on to cover all the major events during India's struggle for Independence and after, until it was shut down in 2017. This book chronicles the exciting lives of the newspapers, their founder and his sons, as well as several landmark events in Indian history, from the Independence movement to the Emergency and Operation Blue Star. Their bold stance and courageous reporting drew censure and criticism from both the administration and certain segments of the public: the paper was shut down for a year by the British within twelve days of its launch, the founders and editors-in-chief were arrested multiple times and a parcel bomb was delivered to its office in 1984. An icon of Indian journalism, the story of Pratap deserves to be read by all. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Chander Mohan, Jyotsna Mohan Size 1.9MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/gdgWitL0pxZ8 https://devuploads.com/w9e04eff3d86

  18. 📮 Dark Carnival by David J. Skal, Elias Savada (.ePUB) The definitive biography of Hollywood horror legend Tod Browning—now revised and expanded with new material One of the most original and unsettling filmmakers of all time, Tod Browning (1880–1962) began his career buried alive in a carnival sideshow and saw his Hollywood reputation crash with the box office disaster–turned–cult classic Freaks.

In this newly revised and expanded edition of their biography first published in 1995, David J. Skal and Elias Savada researched Browning’s recently unearthed scrapbooks and photography archives to add further nuance and depth to their previous portrait of this enigmatic artist. Skal and Savada chronicle Browning’s turn-of-the-century flight from an eccentric Louisville family into the realm of carnivals and vaudeville, his disastrous first marriage, his rapid climb to riches in the burgeoning silent film industry, and the alcoholism that would plague him throughout his life. They offer a close look at Browning’s legendary collaborations with Lon Chaney and Bela Lugosi as well as the studio politics that brought his remarkable run to an inglorious conclusion. With a revised prologue, epilogue, filmography, and new text and illustrations throughout, Dark Carnival is an unparalleled account of a singular filmmaker and an illuminating depiction of the evolution of horror and the early film industry. ♻️ Book's Info: Author David J.

  19. 📮 Malaparte: A Biography by Maurizio Serra, Stephen Twilley (.ePUB) A sweeping, definitive biography of the polarizing Italian writer whose infamous politics, relationship with Mussolini, and irrepresable knack for invention made him one of the most provocative artists and thinkers of his time. Curzio Suckert (1898–1957)—best known by his pen-name Malaparte—was not only a literary master but one of the mystery men of twentieth-century letters. The son of a cosmopolitan German businessman, his mother an Italian, Malaparte led a life that was intimately entwined from start to finish with the twentieth century's troubled history, and only recently has it become possible to begin to separate fact from the screen of fictions with which he continually surrounded himself. Diplomat and novelist Maurizio Serra tells the story of a precocious child who hurried to enlist in the French Army and endured the horrors of trench warfare in World War I. Taking up the pen of the journalist in the interwar years, Malaparte both allied himself and fell out with Mussolini, writing his provocative bestseller The Technique of the Coup d'Etat to popularise the lessons of the Bolshevik revolution and the fascist March on Rome before being sent into exile in provincial Italy. During World War II, Malaparte reported from the Eastern Front, joined forces with the occupying Allies after Mussolini's fall, and secretly wrote the first of his two masterpieces, Kaputt, a record of wartime enormities and atrocities that is as stylish as it is hellish. With The Skin, a black comedy about the American Army in Naples, Malaparte cemented a reputation for daring and disturbing originality. A polymath and shapeshifter—fascist, communist, a converted Catholic on his deathbed—a self-mythologizer on the move between society salons, the corridors of power, and the frontlines, Malaparte is a complex and fascinating subject. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Maurizio Serra, Stephen Twilley Size 1.4MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/dUxDUOHBox6n https://devuploads.com/1xkpzde18g6j
  20. 📮 Too Late to Awaken by Slavoj Zizek (.ePUB) The "most dangerous philosopher in the West" returns with a rousing and counterintuitive analysis of our global predicament. Žižek's most urgent and accessible book yet asks us all to imagine that catastrophe is a foregone conclusion—so that we can actually save the world. We hear all the time that we're moments from doomsday. Around us, crises interlock and escalate, threatening our collective survival: Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with its rising risk of nuclear warfare, is taking place against a backdrop of global warming, ecological breakdown, and widespread social and economic unrest. Protestors and politicians repeatedly call for action, but still we continue to drift towards disaster. We need to do something. But what if the only way for us to prevent catastrophe is to assume that it has already happened-to accept that we're already five minutes past zero hour? Too Late to Awaken sees Slavoj Žižek forge a vital new space for a radical emancipatory politics that could avert our course to self-destruction. He illuminates why the liberal Left has so far failed to offer this alternative, and exposes the insidious propagandism of the fascist Right, which has appropriated and manipulated once-progressive ideas. Pithy, urgent, gutting and witty Žižek’s diagnosis reveals our current geopolitical nightmare in a startling new light, and shows how, in order to change our future, we must first focus on changing the past. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Slavoj Zizek Size 3.3MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational > Sociology File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/ObJfUVX2KUv1 https://devuploads.com/y14c5sys9zua

  24. 📮 Letters to Gisèle: 1951–1970 by Paul Celan (.ePUB) Insightful and provocative letters by a great twentieth-century poet to his artist wife about life and, revealingly, his own writing. An intimate look at this canonical poet's process, mental health, and quotidian moments during the early 1950s. One of the most significant European poets of the twentieth century, Paul Celan came from an Eastern European Jewish family and lost his parents to the death camps of World War II. Transplanted to Paris, he produced a body of work that was an ongoing confrontation with that history of loss and with the German language. His poems, anguished and unsleeping, have by now been translated into many languages, becoming a touchstone for poets, writers, and philosophers. Letters to Gisèle presents the letters Celan wrote to his wife, the French visual artist Gisèle Celan-Lestrange, over the course of close to twenty years, along with letters to the couple’s son, Eric, and letters from Gisèle to Paul. They provide an intimate view of his literary career and troubled life, which was marked by repeated stays in psychiatric clinics. They also provide an unparalleled glimpse into Celan’s poetic workshop, including his own word-for-word renderings from German into French of more than a dozen of his poems. These he addressed to Gisèle as an ongoing, informal German lesson. They figure too as messages from the heart. Presented here trilingually, these overlapping versions of Celan’s poems open up new dimensions of his famously hermetic poetry, as dazzling as it is dark. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Paul Celan Size 17MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/PTrzDAkFqGbq https://devuploads.com/e1zwny8kinwi
  25. 📮 Date with Destiny by Captain Christopher Behnam (.ePUB) On the morning of February 13, 2018, Captain Christopher Behnam was the first officer on United Airlines flight 1175, flying a Boeing 777. He and his crew were on a routine flight from San Francisco to Honolulu when suddenly a loud noise, accompanied by several warning signals and severe shaking of the aircraft, was heard. It soon became clear that they were facing a catastrophic engine failure, losing half of their propulsion power, along with significant drag caused by damage to the aircraft's structure. They were hundreds of miles away from their destination in the Hawaiian Islands. The story that follows is a direct account of how he and his crew managed to safely land the damaged aircraft with 381 people on board. As they descended through thick clouds, barely able to read the instruments, the crew somehow communicated with each other in a way that, unfortunately, other crews in similar incidents had failed to do in the past. But this story is not only about a miraculous recovery by a well-trained crew, but much more than that. It is a story of the kind of opportunity Churchill referred to as something very special, unique to them, and fitting for their talents. As you will soon learn, Captain Behnam had seemingly gained all of his life experiences for this very moment. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Captain Christopher Behnam Size 25MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/cgfq3kjpNhig https://devuploads.com/i8xzfr4mwazq
