"I love this book so much" - Adam Silvera, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of They Both Die at the End. A sweeping romantic
novel from New York Times bestselling author David Arnold about the
power of soulmates and love. Evan Taft has plans. Take a gap year
in Alaska, make sure his brother and single mother are taken care
of, and continue therapy to process his father's departure. But
after his mum's unexpected cancer diagnosis, and as Evan's plans
begin to fade, he hears something - a song no one else can hear,
the voice of a mysterious singer ... Shosh Bell has dreams. A high
school theatre legend, she's headed to performing arts college in
LA, a star on the rise. But when a drunk driver takes her sister's
life, that star fades to black. All that remains is a void - and a
soft voice singing in her ear ... Over it all, transcending time
and space, a celestial bird brings strangers together: from an
escaped murderer in 19th century Paris, to a Norwegian cosmonaut in
low-earth orbit, something is happening that began long ago, and
will long outlast Evan and Shosh. With lyrical prose and
breathtaking storytelling I LOVED YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE explores the
history of love, and how some souls are meant for each other -
yesterday, today, forever. Perfect for fans of Nina LaCour and Matt
Haig.

Collection of two comedies. In 'No Strings Attached' (2011), when
long-time friends Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher)
decide to add a physical dimension to their relationship and move
into 'friends with benefits' territory, they agree to keep things
strictly casual and on a 'no strings' basis. But before long both
of them find things becoming more complicated than planned as those
pesky emotions get in the way. In 'Morning Glory' (2010), a sparky,
ambitious young television producer spies an opportunity to claw
her way up the career ladder when she is offered a job on
'Daybreak', the worst-performing morning chat show in the ratings.
Her decision to hire veteran newscaster Mike Pomeroy (Harrison
Ford) to host the show meets with scepticism from network executive
Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) and co-host Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), and
with little enthusiasm from Pomeroy himself, who is obliged by his
contract to take this less-than-promising gig. Can Becky overcome
the poor ratings and in-fighting to bring the team together and
transform the show into something to be proud of?
The economy is tough -- but understanding microeconomics doesn’t
have to be. In fact, opening the world of economics can be exciting
with Arnold's popular MICROECONOMICS, 14E. Economic tools, new
thinking and theories show you how microeconomic forces impact
daily events and form an important part of life 24/7. Current,
everyday microeconomic examples and updated discussions and
learning features illustrate many unexpected places economics can
occur. You learn how supply and demand play out on a freeway, what
a business cycle is, how a person pays for good weather and even
why U-Haul rates are higher going from New York to Texas than from
Texas to New York. Two new chapters examine health economics and
economic research, including casual inference and machine learning.
Digital video lectures and digital features guide you in
understanding economic diagrams and building graphs, while online
MindTap, Aplia and A+ Test Prep help you assess your understanding
of microeconomics.
Covid-19 has given renewed, urgent attention to 'the pandemic' as a
devastating, recurrent global phenomenon. Today the term is freely
and widely used-but in reality, it has a long and contested
history, centred on South Asia. Pandemic India is an innovative
enquiry into the emergence of the idea and changing meaning of
pandemics, exploring the pivotal role played by-or assigned
to-India over the past 200 years. Using the perspectives of the
social historian and the historian of medicine, and a wide range of
sources, it explains how and why past pandemics were so closely
identified with South Asia; the factors behind outbreaks'
exceptional destructiveness in India; responses from society and
the state, both during and since the colonial era; and how such
collective catastrophes have changed lives and been remembered.
Giving a 'long history' to India's current pandemic, the book
offers comparisons with earlier epidemics of cholera, plague and
influenza. David Arnold assesses the distinctive characteristics
and legacies of each episode, tracking the evolution of public
health strategies and containment measures. This is a historian's
reflection on time as seen through the pandemic prism, and on the
ways the past is used-or misused-to serve the present.

Amalric), head of the organisation known simply as Quantum. Wishing

21st film in the 007 Franchise introduces a new 007 and goes back
to its roots. Daniel Craig stars as the latest incarnation of James
Bond, special agent and international man of mystery and intrigue.
The first Bond film in many years to be based on one of the
original Ian Fleming books, Casino Royale is a quieter, subtler,
more brooding breed of action film, which is not to say there's any
less blowings up, dirty tricks, sexy women or chase sequences. Bond
is in Montenegro at a highly exclusive casino where Le Chiffre
(Mads Mikkelsen) a moneyman for an international terrorist group,
is raising funds for their misdeeds through high-stakes gambling.
007 must infiltrate the group and ultimately defeat the rogue
player, both on and off the tables.

some countries are rich while others are poor. A new chapter
examines the economic forces behind creative destruction and crony
capitalism. Revised coverage of the Federal Reserve System reviews
changes in monetary policy. Digital video lectures and digital

The Age of Discovery explores one of the most dramatic features of the late medieval and early modern period: when voyagers from Western Europe led by Spain and Portugal set out across the world and established links with Africa, Asia and the Americas. This book examines the main motivations behind the voyages and discusses the developments in navigation expertise and technology that made them possible. This second edition brings the scholarship up to date and includes two new chapters on the important topics of the idea of "discovery" and on biological and environmental factors which favoured or limited European expansion.
Although primarily defined in cultural terms, as the land of the
Tamil-speaking people, Tamilnad's geographical location in the
south-eastern corner of the Indian sub-continent has enabled it to
develop and maintain a distinctive character. The story of the
Congress in Tamilnad has two essential themes. One is the evolution
of the Tamil Congress as a regional political party. The second is
the changing relationship between a nationalist movement and a
colonial regime. Examining in close detail these themes, this book,
first published in 1977, presents the story of the Congress in
Tamilnad as a case-study of how nationalist parties evolved during
the later stages of colonialism.
The perceived quality of a destination's cultural offering has long
been a significant factor in determining tourist choices of
destination. More recently, the need to present touristic offerings
that include cultural experiences and heritage has become widely
recognised, that this aspect of the tourism experience is an
important differentiator of destinations, as well as being amongst
the most manageable. This has also led to an increase in the
management of such experiences through special exhibitions, events
and festivals, as well as through ensuring more routine and
controlled access to heritage sites. Reflecting the increasing
application of cultural heritage as a driver for tourism and
development, this book provides for the first time a cohesive
volume on the subject that is theoretically rich, practically
applied and empirically grounded. Written by expert scholars and
practitioners in the field, the book covers a broad range of
theoretical perspectives of cultural heritage tourism;
regeneration, policy, stakeholders, marketing, socio-economic
development, impacts, sustainability, volunteering and ICT. It
takes a broad view, integrating international examples of sites,
monuments as well as intangible cultural heritage, motor vehicle
heritage events and modern art museums. This significant book
furthers knowledge of the theory and application of tourism within
the context of cultural heritage and will be of interest to
students, researchers and practitioners in a range of disciplines.

Gandhi's is an extraordinary and compelling story. Few individuals
in history have made so great a mark upon their times. And yet
Gandhi never held high political office, commanded no armies and
was not even a compelling orator. His 'power' therefore makes a
particularly fascinating subject for investigation. David Arnold
explains how and why the shy student and affluent lawyer became one
of the most powerful anti-colonial figures Western empires in Asia
ever faced and why he aroused such intense affection, loyalty (and
at times much bitter hatred) among Indians and Westerners alike.
Attaching as much influence to the idea and image of Gandhi as to
the man himself, Arnold sees Gandhi not just as a Hindu saint but
as a colonial subject, whose attitudes and experiences expressed
much that was common to countless others in India and elsewhere who
sought to grapple with the overwhelming power and cultural
authority of the West. A vivid and highly readable introducation to
Gandhi's life and times, Arnold's book opens up fascinating
insights into one of the twentieth century's most remarkable men.
