Be careful what you wish for! From the author, Frances Paul comes an electrifying standalone romance thriller that breaks all the rules! This unpredictable suspense will have you holding your breath as you turn each page. In a time of war even love can change sides. A Civil Engineer student travels to Italy to complete her studies at a prestigious university. Instead, she crosses paths with Tristan Moretti, a man whose business dealings dwell deep within the underworld--a world she never thought she'd be a part of. But Tristan becomes a force Kennedy can't ignore. A man whose touch she can't get enough of. She knows it's dangerous. She knows falling for Tristan will lead to a lifetime of consequences. Still, she can't stay away. Tristan has taken his father's place as head of the Moretti Family--a role he's been preparing for his whole life. He knows the kind of darkness that lurks within the shadows of his world, how it corrupts innocence, and ruins lives. But once he realizes Kennedy is the only woman he'll ever want, nothing can stop him from having her. He's determined to rule with her at his side and vows to protect her no matter the cost. As a lethal power slithers its way into their world and shakes the very foundation of the Moretti family, Tristan and Kennedy find themselves at the edge of survival where a decision must be made. Do they stand together and fight...or will they be torn apart and fight each other?

Digressions and the Human Imagination makes a significant contribution to our anthropological knowledge about human creativity. The creative force of the human imagination is widely considered as a key ingredient in understanding how social and cultural transformations occur. And yet, what we know about the nature of creative processes is surprisingly limited. Taking their cue from literary studies, the contributors to this volume explore digression as human creativity’s main impulse. They offer a series of experimental explorations of digression in different arenas of social life – literature, conversations, myths, humour, art, and wayfinding. In their examination of the relationship between creativity and digressive processes, the contributions challenge and eventually collapse conventional distinctions between ‘artistic’ and ‘scientific’ imaginaries. This book articulates with clarity the freedom and joy of wandering off in new directions, but also the potentially transgressive and even revolutionary character that digression has when it is put to work through the creativity of the human imagination. It will be relevant for anthropologists and other scholars from across the humanities and social sciences with an interest in creativity.

Los Alamitos is a coming-of-age story. Set in New Mexico in the late 1960s, a small town university journalism student meets and falls for a bohemian music student from New York City. They share interests in rock and classical music and politics, but the beautiful violinist is dedicated to a solo career in both music and life. With the political turmoil and music of the 1960s as a backdrop, Tristan and Charlotte begin a tentative relationship as they are drawn into student protests over an attempt to ban sexually explicit poetry and opposition to the Vietnam War. But Charlotte’s attraction to a militant Weather Underground organizer threatens their relationship. Familiar names of the era are also central to the storyline: land grant activist Reies Lopez Tijerina, Dr. Martin Luther King, U.S. Senators Bobby Kennedy and Fred Harris, President Richard Nixon, poets Sylvia Plath and Lenore Kandel, and rock singer Jim Morrison of the Doors. But the underlying story of Los Alamitos is Tristan’s other love interest – New Mexico. Arriba Nuevo México!

12th-century French retellings and variations of the story of Tristan and Iseut. The strong and enduring appeal of the Arthurian legends shows no signs of abating, yet many medieval Arthurian texts remain unedited or printed in editions no longer available, while comparatively few of them have been translatedinto English, thus making them inaccessible to the scholarly or general audience unable to read them in the original. The Arthurian Archives series addresses these problems, aiming to provide authoritative critical editionswith parallel translation of essentialtexts for Arthurian studies; each text will be accompanied by a brief introduction, variants and rejected readings, and critical notes. This first volume offers a collection of the French Tristan texts prior to the Prose Tristan; of particular importance is the recently-discovered Thomas fragment, here edited Ian Short. Contents: Béroul, The Romance of Tristan (Norris Lacy); Thomas, Tristan (Stewart Gregory); `The Carlisle Fragment' of Thomas's Tristan (Ian Short) Marie de France, Chevrefeuil (Richard O'Gorman)The Folie Tristan de Berne and the Folie Tristan d'Oxford (Samuel N.
