DOWNLOAD EBOOK"A girl-centered Catcher in the Rye for the 21st century. "—Kirkus Reviews, starred review Two outcast best friends are desperate to survive senior year and break away from their dying factory town in Stacia Tolman's The Spaces Between Us, an unforgettable YA debut. Serena Velasco and her best (and only) friend, Melody Grimshaw, are dying to get out of Colchis. Until now they’ve both been coasting, keeping a safe distance from the bleakness of home and the banality of high school. To make things more interesting Serena fixates on communism, eager to get a rise out of their conservative small town. Her Western Civ teacher catches on and challenges her with an independent study of class and upward mobility—what creates the spaces between us. Meanwhile, Grimshaw takes on a mission of her own: to make it onto the cheerleading squad, find a job, and escape the weight of her family’s hopeless reputation. But sometimes the biggest obstacles are the ones you don’t see coming; Grimshaw’s quest for success becomes a fight for survival, and Serena’s independent study gets a little too real. With the future of their friendship and their lives on the line, the stakes have never been so high. Christy Ottaviano Books

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUsing language - speaking and understanding it - is a defining ability of human beings, woven into all human activity. It is therefore inevitable that it should be deeply implicated in the design, production and use of buildings. Building legislation, design guides, competition and other briefs, architectural criticism, teaching and scholarly material, and the media all produce their characteristic texts. The authors use texts about such projects as Berlin's new Reichstag, Scotland's new Parliament, and the Auschwitz concentration camp museum to clarify the interaction between texts, design, critical debate and response.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSilent reading is now universally accepted as normal; indeed reading aloud to oneself may be interpreted as showing a lack of ability or understanding. Yet reading aloud was usual, indeed unavoidable, throughout antiquity and most of the middle ages. Saenger investigates the origins of the gradual separation of words within a continuous written text and the consequent development of silent reading. He then explores the spread of these practices throughout western Europe, and the eventual domination of silent reading in the late medieval period. A detailed work with substantial notes and appendices for reference.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe contributions gathered in this volume exhibit a great variety of interdisciplinary perspectives on and theoretical approaches to the notion of ‘spaces between’. They draw our attention to the nexus between the medium of comics and the categories of difference as well as identity such as gender, dis/ability, age, and ethnicity, in order to open and intensify an interdisciplinary conversation between comics studies and intersectional identity studies.

But from the moment Oriel sets foot inside Anatroshka's most formidable prison camp, she unsettles both commandant and prisoner alike with eyes that see beyond the surface and music that trails her everywhere. Petite and delicate though she appears, Oriel bows before neither threat nor punishment. Moreover, she makes no attempt to hide her intention: Oriel plans to escape the inescapable HopeWell. But when facades are stripped away and myth becomes clothed in flesh, what begins as a prison break becomes a mission to stop the invasion of evil itself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSin Eater - A person who consumes a ritual meal in order to spiritually take on the sins of a deceased person. If only it were that simple.7 death row inmates. 7 sins to devour. Nelle Lockwood, one half of the nightmare detective agencies with her friend and mentor Buck McGraw, is given a most unusual request from the warden of a secretive prison: With Nelle as The Last Sin Eater, she is compelled to help absolve these evil people of their sins, but within the walls of the undersea tempestra prison lurks nightmarish creatures far beyond that of mere mortals... With Buck, Air Marshal Nestor Holden & his cocky corvid Edgar, Nelle must traverse uncomfortable conversations & hardships unlike anything she's ever faced. Author T. J. Lea's (THE EXPRESSIONLESS, NoSleep Podcast, Writers Mythos) "The Last Sin Eater" seeks to bridge the gap between Lovecraftian horror and dark fantasy, provoking difficult conversations, horrific creatures and spine tingling tension. As the inaugural novella in the expanding universe that makes up the collective first book: "Strangeness In Sturgeon: Echoes", what follows in successive novellas due out in 2021 is a blend of mystery, deep-seated horror ranging from the supernatural to the existential, a diverse set of characters and an immersion that makes you feel like you're within each of the unique locales and even more unique nightmares. There's more locked up in this prison than just inmates and Nelle will soon find out that some secrets are best left bounded... "Incredibly visceral, thought-provoking, and filled with unexpected twists, The Last Sin Eater by T. J. Lea is a masterfully written horror tale, although it's definitely not one for the faint of heart. Nelle is a strong and intriguing heroine who brings you along as she unlocks secrets about her past and the Church of the Duskwalkers while dealing with some of the most despicable inmates you'll ever meet." - USA Today bestselling author Angela Campbell.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis monograph is devoted to the study of spear operators, that is, bounded linear operators G between Banach spaces X and Y satisfying that for every other bounded linear operator T:X → Y there exists a modulus-one scalar ω such that ǁ G+ωTǁ = 1 + ǁTǁ. This concept extends the properties of the identity operator in those Banach spaces having numerical index one. Many examples among classical spaces are provided, being one of them the Fourier transform on L1. The relationships with the Radon-Nikodým property, with Asplund spaces and with the duality, and some isometric and isomorphic consequences are provided. Finally, Lipschitz operators satisfying the Lipschitz version of the equation above are studied. The book could be of interest to young researchers and specialists in functional analysis, in particular to those interested in Banach spaces and their geometry. It is essentially self-contained and only basic knowledge of functional analysis is needed.
