Montevallo: a mountain in a valley. This bucolic, natural phrase
aptly describes the beauty of this central Alabama town. Early
settlers were drawn to the area by its abundant agricultural and
mineral resources, and in 1826, the tiny village of Montevallo was
born. The nature of the town changed significantly in 1896 with the
founding of the Alabama Girls' Industrial School, now the
University of Montevallo. The Olmsted Brothers firm of Brookline,
Massachusetts, laid out the central campus, and its master plan
still inspires current development. Since 1896, the focus of the
town has shifted from agriculture and mining to education. The
university's mission is to be Alabama's "Public Liberal Arts
College." Prominent figures include writer and veteran E. B.
Sledge, actresses Polly Holiday and Rebecca Luker, and Major League
Baseball player Rusty Greer.

This rollicking and slightly absurd comedy from director Jesse Peretz (FIRST LOVE, LAST RITES) begins when Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) loses his promising chef job at a swanky New York restaurant. He is compelled to move to small-town Ohio to take a job with his father-in-law (Charles Grodin) at an advertising agency to support his wife, Sofia (Amanda Peet), and newborn son. Tom's adjustment to the rhythms and rituals of the office world is awkward at best, and complicated by the presence of an old high-school flame of Sofia's (Jason Bateman), a passive-aggressive paraplegic who schemes to get Sofia back. Meanwhile, Sofia must cope with the shock of switching roles from powerful big-city lawyer to stay-at-home suburban mother. Young working parents will identify with the familiar conflicts presented here as the embattled Tom and frustrated Sofia struggle to make sense of their new responsibilities. Braff purveys his patented nerdy charm as a nice guy whose behaviour becomes more and more manic as the rug gets continually pulled out from under him, and Peet is a lovely screen presence even as her character's patience and enthusiasm fade in less than attractive ways. Their performances blend wry intelligence with out-and-out slapstick, and they are supported by a superb ensemble cast including Amy Poehler, Amy Adams, Paul Rudd, Donal Logue, and Mia Farrow. While some of the situations and jokes border on tasteless, it's the smart kind of gross-out humor of a Farrelly Brothers or Jay Roach film, and the film never never loses its heart, as embodied by Braff and Peet.
Exploring the need for a sustainable transport paradigm, which has
been sought after by local and national authorities internationally
over the last 30 years, this illuminating and timely Handbook
offers insights into how this can be secured more broadly and what
it may involve, as well as the challenges that the sustainable
transport approach faces. Drawing on a wide range of research and
relevant case studies that showcase where the principles of
sustainable transport have been, or could be, implemented, the
Handbook offers readers a holistic understanding of the paradigm.
Contributions showcase the evidence of the continued need for a
sustainable transport approach, analyse its core principles, and,
finally, discuss what it will take to achieve implementation,
considering aspects such as behaviour change, accessibility,
governance and politics. Offering a comprehensive overview across
the many dimensions of sustainable transport, this Handbook will be
an indispensable resource for transport, planning and urban studies
scholars. It will also be a useful guide for planners and policy
makers looking for advice to advance future practice.
The Bureau of Balance has located yet another Grand Relic, and this
time it's . . . time? A small mining town called Refuge has been
locked away behind an arcane bubble, and somewhere inside it the
Temporal Chalice is causing unknown mayhem. Taako, Magnus, and
Merle are launched into their investigation, but they've barely had
a chance to get their feet under them before the situation
literally falls apart. When the town clock strikes noon, Refuge and
its citizens are destroyed in a sudden chaos of flame and ruin, and
our heroes' relic hunting - along with their lives - comes to an
abrupt end. But whoa, what's this? It's 11:00 AM, our heroes are
alive again, and Refuge definitely hasn't just been exploded. Looks
like a classic time loop, friends.

Winner of the Locus Award for Best First Novel. 'Rich, intricate
worldbuilding meets swoonworthy romance. . . Phédre and
Joscelin’s story is the beating heart of every romantasy to
follow.' Olivie Blake Servant. Seductress. Spy. All Phèdre nó
Delaunay has known is a life of servitude – until now. When her
bond is purchased by a nobleman, Anafiel Delaunay, he transforms
her into a charming courtesan and skillful spy. He’s also the
first to recognize what she is: one touched by the god Kushiel’s
dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. But
when Phèdre uncovers a plot that threatens the very foundations of
her homeland, she’s thrown into a world of deadly courtiers,
heroic traitors and one truly Machiavellian villainess. Her journey
will take her to the edge of despair and beyond. For false friends,
loving enemies and beloved assassins all wear the same glittering
masks – and Phèdre will get but one chance to save all that she
holds dear. ‘Sophisticated fantasy, intricately plotted and a
fascinating read’ Robert Jordan ‘Superbly detailed . . .
sometimes unbearably intense’ Kirkus Reviews ‘Brilliant and
daring . . . an assured and magnificent book’ Publishers Weekly
Kushiel’s Dart is an intoxicating fantasy of intrigue, betrayal
and desire – perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L.
Armentrout. Continue the journey with Kushiel’s Chosen by
Jacqueline Carey.
The global icon, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer,
actress, mother, daughter, sister, storyteller and artist finally
tells the unfiltered story of her life in The Meaning of Mariah
Carey. It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to
write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups
and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams -
that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been
countless stories about me throughout my career and very public
personal life, it's been impossible to communicate the complexities
and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a
ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were
filtered through someone else's lens, largely satisfying someone
else's assignment to define me. This book is composed of my
memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs.
Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared
little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and
ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant
woman I became tell her side. Writing this memoir was incredibly
hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved
to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the
resilience of the human spirit. Love, Mariah
