Steve Pink directs this romantic comedy, based on David Marmet's
play 'Sexual Perversity in Chicago', starring Kevin Hart, Michael
Ealy, Regina Hall and Joy Bryant. Bernie Jackson (Hart) and his
friend Danny Martin (Ealy) consider themselves successful
womanisers. However, when they become involved with two roommates,
Joan Derrickson (Hall) and Debbie Sullivan (Bryant), Bernie and
Danny find that life becomes a lot more complicated. The two
couples go through numerous ups and downs, with the difficulties
and successes of each relationship having a knock-on effect on the
other. Can romance and friendship survive such close proximity?
A coming-of-age travel memoir that probes thorny spiritual
questions while taking the reader on a wild ride from the deep
American South to the Middle East, Europe, and the Far East. Once
the golden girl of her Arkansas town, Natalie finds herself
squeezed under small town shame and rejection after being kicked
out of church for getting a divorce. It's a hard fall off of a
sanctimonious high horse, and religious fundamentalism has left her
feeling broken and stuck. But she can't shake the 'wanderlust woes'
that have plagued her since childhood, so she runs away to the
Middle East. As a mostly-sheltered Southerner, she struggles to
adapt but is determined to be 'at home' in the world. Her journey
is more than a pilgrimage, it's a peregrination: a one-way ticket
to elsewhere in search of the place of her own resurrection. Within
these pages is a suspenseful adventure filled with love, loss,
laughter, tears, and a little bit of scandalous behavior, but at
the heart of it, Natalie walks squarely into the unknown to
confront the secret matters of the soul that we wrestle with at
night.
Pea lives in a flat at Number 7 Evergreen Street. It's a grey
building in a grey street, in a grey city. Inside the building,
however, it's not grey at all. Pea and her parents have lots of
amazing, colourful neighbours. One day, an army of construction
workers turn up on the street and start putting up brand new
buildings. When it looks like Number 7 Evergreen Street is going to
be demolished, Pea has to think quickly to save her home. A special
book that explores the value of communities and nature.

Designed to inspire women in all seasons of life, the ESV Women’s
Study Bible, Artist Series helps Christians pursue a deeper,
transformational understanding of Scripture through the artistic
talents of God’s people.Â
Prepare yourself for a journey through the world of Patton Oswalt,
one of the most creative, insightful, and hysterical voices on the
entertain-ment scene today. Widely known for his roles in the films
"Big Fan "and "Ratatouille, "as well as the television hit "The
King of Queens, "Patton Oswalt--a staple of Comedy Central--has
been amusing audiences for decades. Now, with "Zombie Spaceship
Wasteland, "he offers a fascinating look into his most unusual, and
lovable, mindscape.
Oswalt combines memoir with uproarious humor, from snow forts to
Dungeons & Dragons to gifts from Grandma that had to be
explained. He remem-bers his teen summers spent working in a movie
Cineplex and his early years doing stand-up. Readers are also
treated to several graphic elements, includ-ing a vampire tale for
the rest of us and some greeting cards with a special touch. Then
there's the book's centerpiece, which posits that before all young
creative minds have anything to write about, they will home in on
one of three story lines: zom-bies, spaceships, or wastelands.
Oswalt chose wastelands, and ever since he has been mining our
society's wasteland for perversion and excess, pop culture and
fatty foods, indie rock and single-malt scotch. "Zombie Spaceship
Wasteland "is an inventive account of the evolution of Patton
Oswalt's wildly insightful worldview, sure to indulge his legion of
fans and lure many new admirers to his very entertaining
"wasteland."
We think of precision warfare as a modern invention, closely
associated with the Gulf War, the Kosovo Campaign and drone
technologies. But its origins go back much further in history. As
war historian James Patton Rogers reveals, this quest to achieve
precision in war began in 1917, during the early years of powered
flight in the United States. This means that precision has been a
significant, if not always achievable, feature of American
strategic thought for more than a hundred years. Patton Rogers
takes readers on a journey through the twentieth century,
highlighting the innovative thinkers of the First World War, the
experimental technologies of the Second World War and the
surprising Cold War nuclear strategies that made precision the
dominant feature it is today. From Russia’s offensive war in
Ukraine to Libya, Ethiopia and Nagorno-Karabakh, the conflicts of
the twenty-first-century are being fought with precision weapons.
Patton Rogers answers two enduring questions: why has precision
been such a defining feature of US military thinking? And how has
this ambition shaped public and military perceptions of war today?

The 10th anniversary edition of the classic guide to handling
life's toughest conversations What is a difficult conversation?
Asking for a pay rise, saying 'no' to your boss or spouse,
confronting a friend, apologizing. We all have conversations that
we dread and find unpleasant. But can we develop the skills to make
such situations less stressful and more productive? Based on
fifteen years of research and consultations with thousands of
people, Difficult Conversations pinpoints what works. It teaches us
to work through them by understanding that we're not engaging in
one dialogue but three: - The "what happened" conversation (what do
we believe was said and done) - The "feelings" conversation (the
emotional impact on everyone involved) - The "identity"
conversation (what does this mean for everyone's opinion of
themselves) Use this ground-breaking, step-by-step book to turn
your difficult conversations into positive, problem-solving
experiences.

Between 1995 and 1999, Patton Oswalt lived with an unshakable
addiction. It wasn't drugs, alcohol, or sex: it was film. After
moving to Los Angeles, Oswalt became a huge film buff (or as he
calls it, a sprocket fiend), absorbing classics, cult hits, and new
releases at the famous New Beverly Cinema. Silver screen celluloid
became Patton's life schoolbook, informing his notion of acting,
writing, comedy, and relationships. Set in the nascent days of LA's
alternative comedy scene, Silver Screen Fiendchronicles Oswalt's
journey from fledgling stand-up comedian to self-assured sitcom
actor, with the colorful New Beverly collective and a cast of
now-notable young comedians supporting him all along the way.
"Clever and readable...Oswalt's encyclopedic knowledge and frothing
enthusiasm for films (from sleek noir classics, to gory B movies,
to cliche-riddled independents, to big empty blockbusters) is
relentlessly present, whirring in the background like a projector"
(TheBoston Globe). More than a memoir, this is "a love song to the
silver screen" (Paste Magazine).

WINNER OF THE GOOD READS BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2018
THE NEW YORK TIMES #1 BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2018
The masterful true crime account of the Golden State Killer - the serial rapist turned murderer who terrorised California for over a decade - from the late Michelle McNamara.
I'll Be Gone in the Dark offers a unique snapshot of suburban West Coast America in the 1980s, and a chilling account of the wreckage left behind by a criminal mastermind. It is also a portrait of one woman's obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth, three decades later, in spite of the personal cost.
Updated with material which takes in the extraordinary events that followed its initial publication, Michelle McNamara's first and last book is a contemporary classic - humane, haunting and heroic.
The major questions considered in this book are these: Are the Indo-Aryans outsiders or insiders? Did they migrate into India from Central Asia, and if not, where did they originate? Even more crucially, what is at stake in these accounts of ancient history? What issues of South Asian identity are involved? Can those of Indo-Aryan descent claim indigenous status? To what extent are the accounts of colonial historians valid? What is the role and authority of Indian scholarship in the post-colonial period? The scope and purpose of this volume is not to resolve this debate, but to survey the field and to include major figures from differing points of view, from archaeology and philology as well as political and intellectual history.
This book explores the manner in which the size of the organization
influences the employment relationship with a focus upon small
enterprises. The majority of organizations in the UK economy are
categorized as small firms, having fewer than 50 employees, and in
2002 such firms were found to provide 43% of jobs within the
economy (DTI, 2002). Clearly these organizations make a critical
contribution to the British economy, yet - surprisingly - until
quite recently very little was known about how such firms managed
their labor. Since the 1990s there has been a growing of evidence
which has explored the employment relationship in small firms and
this book fulfils an important task by recognizing the importance
of this literature, and also by moving the debate forward.
Managing Labour in Small Firms also acknowledges that size - whilst
influential in shaping firm behavior - will interact with context
to create particular employment relationships. These relationships
are examined in chapters covering:
* HRM in the smaller organization
* The challenge of undertaking research in such firms
* The impact of regulation
* The influence of social embeddedness
* The affect of the national minimum wage
* Training and development
* Pay construction
* Employee representation
These discussions link the key themes and concepts within
employment relations, and illustrate how firm size shapes their
articulation and consequent management. Written by well respected
specialists in the field, this is one of the only books on the
market covering this topic, and as such it will be an essential
text for researchers and graduates studying business and
management, human resource management and industrial relations.
