Hannah Bell has finally come home for Christmas after having been away for seven years. Between being humiliated at prom by her best friend, Logan, and disappointing her mother yet again, Hannah left and swore she'd never come back. But right now, she'd rather face her past than her conflicting feelings about her boyfriend's proposal. Logan Blake is trying to adjust to his father's death, being a single dad, and his new status as a billionaire. Which is easier said than done. To complicate things further, his childhood friend and crush, Hannah, has come back into his life.

My plan was perfect: convince my best friend and school quarterback, Ethan, to be the final prize for my matchmaking test where the proceeds go to sending the band to Paris. Plus, if it matches me with my lifelong crush, that's a bonus, right? What could go wrong? Apparently, a lot. First, the test matches me and Ethan. Which is easy to explain. Computers make mistakes all the time, right? Second, the girl I switch myself for seems perfect for Ethan. Maybe a bit too perfect. Third, my date with my crush goes horribly wrong, and my first kiss tanks.

Dans la vie, tout le monde se pose des questions. Il y a celles qui sont intelligentes, qui font réfléchir : c'est quoi un atome ? Comment sortir de la crise ? Et puis il y a les autres, celles qu'on se pose tout bas sans parfois même se l'avouer : Pourquoi ne voit-on jamais de bébés pigeons ? Combien y a-t-il de grains dans un paquet de riz ? Les poissons dorment-ils ? Si, pour flatter leur ego, certains ne veulent répondre qu'aux questions intelligentes, qui va répondre aux questions cons ? Moi, bien sûr ! J'en ai même fait mon métier !

I live by three rules. One: I never get lower than an A in any class. Two: I never lose a cross-country race. And three: I never talk to Cade Kelley. Well, number three came crashing down the moment Principal Connell asks me to guide Cade back onto the right path. Something about helping him turn his life around. If only Principal Connell knew our history, he’d understand just what he’s asking.

In the wake of the San Bernardino attack last December, US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called for a ban on all Muslims entering the country. In an interview with Fox Business shortly after the attack, Trump explicitly connected the failed assimilation of Muslim immigrants to terrorism: “Go to Brussels. Go to Paris. Go to different places. There is something going on and it’s not good, where they want Shariah law...There is no assimilation.”

Foreign policy experts have long been taught to see the world as a chessboard, analyzing the decisions of great powers and anticipating rival states’ reactions in a continual game of strategic advantage. Nineteenth-century British statesmen openly embraced this metaphor, calling their contest with Russia in Central Asia "the Great Game." Today, the TV show Game of Thrones offers a particularly gory and irresistible version of geopolitics as a continual competition among contending kingdoms.

Au début de l'histoire de l'humanité, les dieux tout comme les cultes variaient d'une communauté à l'autre. Les premiers peuples chassés par la force de leur territoire ont craint que des divinités étrangères ou ennemies ne puissent les protéger. Des chefs ont alors fondé une nouvelle religion. Certains d'entre eux se sont basés sur des textes anciens et d'autres ont affirmé avoir eu des révélations.

Set in Paris in the 1920s, this book is an erotic classic sensually written in an enthralling and titillating style that consists of short stories with many of the same characters tied together and each story with its own climax. The stories follow the fortunes of a group of idle young French aristocrats and their secret liaisons and erotic escapades. This book is read by Katinka Wolf who transports us deftly into this appealing and uninhibited world.

Rome, une ville éternelle, une société ingénieuse formée d'ethnies disparates sous la protection des dieux. Une petite bourgade aménagée sur une colline entourée de marécages qui en un millénaire a bâti un Empire de 5 millions de kilomètres carrés d'espace, sillonné de 90 000 kilomètres de routes. Rome, c'est la guerre incessante, mais aussi la joie et l'art de vivre hérités de la civilisation étrusque ; la littérature et la poésie inspirées de la culture grecque.

La civilité nouvelle apparaît au XVème siècle, au début d'une période que les historiens ont appelée "Renaissance". Elle correspond à un idéal de culture et de sagesse désigné par le terme "humanisme". A une époque où la noblesse des cours se battait souvent à coups de poing et à coups de pieds, des philosophes ont cru bon d'instruire les jeunes princes des règles de civilité à l'honneur chez les citoyens grecs et romains de l'Antiquité.

Notre ancêtre Homo sapiens était nomade. Ses descendants ont vagabondé longtemps sur la planète avant d'habiter un domicile fixe. Pourquoi l'ont-ils fait ? Pourquoi ont-ils ensuite peiné pour faire pousser du blé et finalement domestiquer des bêtes, alors que les céréales sauvages et les animaux de chasse abondaient sur leur territoire ?

Le phénomène urbain est apparu vers - 3500 avant notre ère, soit 5450 ans avant le présent (ndlr : 1950). La ville se différencie du village par son organisation sociale et les activités de ses habitants dont certains, comme les marchands, les scribes et les prêtres, s'occupent exclusivement des échanges ou de tâches intellectuelles. Elle établit donc des relations sociales d'un type nouveau, fortement hiérarchisées.

Vers 1300, les marchands, autrefois méprisés, sont les maîtres des villes. Ceux que l'on surnommait "les pieds poudreux" sont désormais sédentaires et l'on envie leur richesse. Les techniques commerciales se diversifient : des changeurs fixent le cours des monnaies, la lettre de change et le crédit apparaissent.

Nous naissons stériles, mais sommes envahis dès notre toute première seconde de vie par des bactéries qui resteront en nous définitivement. Fort heureusement, nous vivons en parfaite symbiose avec elles. Nos bactéries sont heureuses en nous et elles nous le rendent bien car, malgré leur mauvaise réputation, elles sont bienveillantes et nous protègent de nombre de maladies.

As the 1960s dawned in small-town Michigan, Anne-Marie Oomen was a naive farm girl whose mother was determined to keep her out of trouble - by keeping her in 4-H. In Love, Sex, and 4-H, Oomen sets the wholesomeness of her domestic lessons in 4-H club from 1959 to 1969 against the political and sexual revolution of the time. Between sewing her first dish towel and finishing the yellow dress she wears to senior prom, Oomen brings listeners along as she falls in and out of love, wins her first prize, learns to kiss, survives her first heartbreak, and makes almost all of her clothes.

Pulling Down the Barn eloquently recalls author Anne-Marie Oomen's personal journey as she discovers herself an outsider on her family farm located in western Michigan's Oceana County, in the township of Elbridge - a couple hundred acres in the middle of rural America. Written as a series of heartfelt interlocking narratives, this collection of essays portrays the realities of farm life: haying, picking asparagus and cherries, the machinery of tractors and pickers.

Anne-Marie Oomen uses a wealth of vivid language and personal details to bring scenes from her childhood on a family farm to life in House of Fields. Yet the focus of this book shifts away from the daily activities of the farm, which Oomen presented in Pulling Down the Barn, to life outside its boundaries, as she explores the complex meaning of "education" in all of its rural forms. Oomen's description of the farmhouse where she grew up becomes the central image for this collection of essays.

Even though I’m around hot football players every afternoon, they are not allowed to date me. If they even come close to flirting, my dad, Coach “The Boss” Davis, makes them run laps around the field until they puke.

What Dad doesn’t know is that I spend every last second of those two blissful hours of practice in the scorching California heat staring at Tyson Blake. He is the epitome of perfection. And Dad hates him.
