Lucky Luce Tome 2

Incroyable, mais vrai : j’ai un petit ami. Moi-même, je n’arrive pas à y croire ! Une chose est sûre, je vais tout faire pour le garder dans mes filets. Tout. Quitte à me battre contre une ex jalouse, les préjugés de grands-parents ultra conformistes, mon attirance incontrôlée pour l’ami de mon frère et ma maladresse légendaire, qui continue de me suivre. Un sacré programme, je vous le dis...

Eh oui, c’est encore moi ! Allez, je sais que vous êtes contents de me revoir. Après avoir changé de ville, de travail et surtout de petit ami, me voici de retour, plus déterminée et heureuse que jamais. Le seul souci, c’est que personne ne m’avait dit que concilier vie professionnelle et vie privée pouvait s’avérer si compliqué... Bref, j’ai du pain sur la planche si je veux espérer boucler la boucle et vous offrir le happy end que vous attendez tant !

Sometimes the best man is the one you least expect… Faith Holland left her hometown after being jilted at the altar. Now a little older and wiser, she's ready to return to the Blue Heron Winery, her family's vineyard, to confront the ghosts of her past, and maybe enjoy a glass of red. After all, there's some great scenery there…. Like Levi Cooper, the local police chief—and best friend of her former fiancé. There's a lot about Levi that Faith never noticed, and it's not just those deep green eyes. The only catch is she's having a hard time forgetting that he helped ruin her wedding all those years ago. If she can find a minute amidst all her family drama to stop and smell the rosé, she just might find a reason to stay at Blue Heron, and finish that walk down the aisle.

From "America's nerviest journalist" (Newsweek)--a breath-taking epic, a magnificent adventure story, and an investigation into the true heroism and courage of the first Americans to conquer space. "Tom Wolfe at his very best" (The New York Times Book Review) Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure; namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers, that made The Right Stuff a classic.

Presenting two novels in the Granville Island series by Michael Blair. Commercial photographer Tom McCall sees a lot of Vancouver in his job, but he sees more than he’d like to when murderers strike. Witty and fast-paced, these stories make Canada’s largest Western city as much a character as the criminals lurking therein. In Depth of Field, McCall’s business partner is killed, and in Overexposed a corpse shows up at McCall’s own home. "Blair has a great eye for the small details of place, and his view of Vancouver is a delight. McCall and the gang are terrific characters who really click in this slick, smart book." — The Globe and Mail Includes Overexposed Depth of Field

Migrant Housing, the latest book by author Mirjana Lozanovska, examines the house as the architectural construct in the processes of migration. Housing is pivotal to any migration story, with studies showing that migrant participation in the adaptation or building of houses provides symbolic materiality of belonging and the platform for agency and productivity in the broader context of the immigrant city. Migration also disrupts the cohesion of everyday dwelling and homeland integral to housing, and the book examines this displacement of dwelling and its effect on migrant housing. This timely volume investigates the poetic and political resonance between migration and architecture, challenging the idea of the ‘house’ as a singular theoretical construct. Divided into three parts, Histories and theories of post-war migrant housing, House/home and Mapping migrant spaces of home, it draws on data studies from Australia and Macedonia, with literature from Canada, Sweden and Germany, to uncover the effects of unprivileged post-war migration in the late twentieth century on the house as architectural and normative model, and from this perspective negotiates the disciplinary boundaries of architecture.

The Routledge Handbook of Southeast Asian Economics offers new insights into the rapidly-developing economies of Southeast Asia. Despite widespread initial deprivation, Southeast Asia has achieved and sustained a remarkable rate of growth, in the course of which tens of millions have successfully escaped severe poverty. Though the economies of the region vary in many dimensions, integration into the wider East Asian network of production and trade is a notable common feature, one that continues a centuries-long history of engagement with global trade. A second striking feature is the pace and extent of transformation in the structure of production and in sources of household income in the region, which has undergone remarkably rapid industrialization and urban growth. However, the search for sustained and sustainable growth through and beyond middle-income continues to confront pressing economic and policy challenges. This Handbook offers a timely and comprehensive overview of Southeast Asian economic development. Organized according to the logic of chronological and thematic unity, it is structured in these sections: Growth and development over the long term Food, agriculture and natural resources Trade, investment and industrialization Population, labor, and human capital Poverty and political economy Twenty-first century challenges This original Handbook, written by experts in their fields, is unique in the breadth and depth of its coverage. Its forward-looking perspective renders it relevant both now and in the future. This advanced level reference work will be essential reading for students, researchers and scholars of Asian Studies, Economics and Southeast Asian studies.

'"Where you staying?" the Bedouin asked. "Why you not stay with me tonight - in my cave?"' Thus begins Marguerite van Geldermalsen's story of how a New Zealand-born nurse came to be married to Mohammad Abdallah Othman, a Bedouin souvenir-seller from the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. It was 1978 and she and a friend were travelling through the Middle East when Marguerite met the charismatic Mohammad who convinced her that he was the man for her. A life with Mohammad meant moving into his ancient cave and learning to love the regular tasks of baking shrak bread on an open fire and collecting water from the spring. And as Marguerite feels herself becoming part of the Bedouin community, she is thankful for the twist in fate that has led her to this contented life. Marguerite's light-hearted and guileless observations of the people she comes to love are as heart-warming as they are valuable, charting Bedouin traditions now lost to the modern world.

En este libro se aborda el nacimiento y el desarrollo del subgénero literario de la elegía de exilio entre la Antigüedad y el Renacimiento, prestando especial atención a las obras de Ovidio -el “inventor” del género-, como máximo representante del mismo en la Edad Antigua, de hildeberto de Lavardin, como destacado representante en la Edad Media, y, finalmente, de Joachim du Bellay, como cultivador egregio en el Renacimiento. No obstante, se consideran también los hitos intermedios (Antigüedad tardía, Renacimiento carolingio, final de la Edad Media) que permiten vislumbrar de manera coherente el proceso de tradición literaria. El volumen se completa con una edición comentada de los textos que se analizan, traducidos rítmicamente.
