If Charlie and Sage are meant to be, why can't Sage stop kissing
Charlie's brother? And why can't Charlie stop thinking about
kissing the new boy at school? Everyone at the Bexley School
believes that Sage Morgan and Charlie Carmichael are meant to be.
Even though Charlie seems to have a new girlfriend every month, and
Sage has never had a real relationship, their friends and family
all know it's just a matter of time until they realize that they
are actually in love. When Luke Morrissey shows up on campus his
presence immediately shakes things up. Charlie and Luke are drawn
to each other the moment they meet, giving Sage the opportunity to
spend time with Charlie's twin brother, Nick. But Charlie is afraid
of what others will think if he accepts that he has much more than
a friendship with Luke. And Sage fears that if she lets things with
Nick get too serious too quickly, they won't be able to last as a
couple outside of high school and miss their chance at forever. The
duo will need to rely on each other and their lifelong friendship
to figure things out with the boys they love.

From the bestselling author of The Summer of Broken Rules comes a
new coming-of-age romance about senior year, first love, and
finding yourself. Lily Hopper has two more weeks until she's
officially finished with boarding school. With graduation quickly
approaching Lily is worried that she's somehow missed out on the
fun of being in high school. So, when she receives a mysterious
note inviting her to join the anonymous senior class Jester in
executing the end-of-year prank, Lily sees her chance to put her
goody-two-shoes reputation behind her. When Lily realizes the
Jester is none other than Taggart Swell, her ex- boyfriend, she's
already in too deep to back out. Lily might've dumped Tag, but she
still has major feelings. Plus, his brilliant plan to steal the
school's yearbooks, targets none other than Lilly's prom date: the
Senior Class President, Daniel. As the group of pranksters hide
cryptic clues across campus for Daniel to find, Lily and Tag find
themselves in close quarters. As the exes dodge Campus Safety
guards, night owl teachers, a troop of freshmen, and even Daniel
himself, new sparks fly. But old hurts and painful secrets refuse
to be ignored. And with graduation on the horizon, Lily can only
hope that breaking the rules will help mend her heart.
In responding to the perceived threat posed by venereal diseases in
Germany's colonies, doctors took a biopolitical approach that
employed medical and bourgeois discourses of modernization, health,
productivity, and morality. Their goal was to change the behavior
of targeted groups, or at least to isolate infected individuals
from the healthy population. However, the Africans, Pacific
Islanders, and Asians they administered to were not passive
recipients of these strategies. Rather, their behavior strongly
influenced the efficacy and nature of these public health measures.
While an apparent degree of compliance was achieved, over time
physicians increasingly relied on disciplinary measures beyond what
was possible in Germany in order to enforce their policies.
Ultimately, through their discourses and actions they contributed
to the justification for and the maintenance of German colonialism.

Young People and the Struggle for Participation rethinks dominant
concepts and meanings of participation by exploring what young
people do in public spaces and what these spaces mean to them,
individually and collectively. This book discusses how different
spaces and places structure and are in turn structured by young
peoples' activities. Drawing on findings from a comparative study
in eight European cities, insights into different styles of youth
participation emerging from formal, non-formal and informal
settings are presented. The book provides a comparative analysis of
how transnational discourses, national welfare states and local
youth policies affect youth participation. It also investigates how
it comes about that young people get involved in different forms of
participation in the course of their biographies. This book will
appeal to academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the
fields of youth studies, community studies, sociology of education,
political science, social work, psychology and anthropology.
Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history.
Today, he is celebrated the world over as one of the most important
painters of all time, recognized with sell-out shows, feted
museums, and record prices of tens of millions of dollars at
auction. Yet as he was painting the canvases that would
subsequently become these sell-out modern masterpieces, van Gogh
was battling not only the disinterest of his contemporary audiences
but also devastating bouts of mental illness, with episodes of
depression and paralyzing anxiety which would eventually claim his
life in 1890, when he committed suicide shortly after his 37th
birthday. This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
pairs a detailed monograph on his life and art with a complete
catalogue of his 871 paintings. About the series Bibliotheca
Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic
TASCHEN universe!
First published in 1955 in German, this journal, published here in
English for the first time, describes the adventures of a young
Swiss surgeon who sought his fortune in eighteenth-century Russia,
where he eventually made his mark and rose to a high position. The
journal covers his journey to Southern Russia and his service there
during the campaigns of 1770-74, and gives a day-by-day account of
his trip through Siberia to the Chinese borders as a surgeon
assisting a recruiting officer. Fries' simple, straightforward and
fresh narrative provides a vivid, human introduction to the
little-known land and people of Siberia. In contrast to the more
scientific specialist works of other eighteenth-century discoverers
in Siberia, Fries' account conveys the special lure of the country,
with lively descriptions of the ordinary life of its inhabitants,
of the town and countryside, of nature, people, customs and
impressions. Their travels took the two companions through all of
Siberia to the very borders of China, and we gain a valuable
glimpse of the relations between Russians and Chinese at the time.
Along the way we also meet numerous westerners whom a strange fate
had brought to this isolated, enigmatic land. To Fries' text is
added a wide-ranging introduction by Professor Kirchner, which
gives an account of the pioneering foreign scientists and tourists
who travelled in Siberia during the century following the death of
Peter the Great in 1725. Professor Kirchner traces the routes of
their journeys, and describes the written works, some of them now
classics, which ensued. The introduction thus provides an
up-to-date bibliographical guide to the more elaborate and
scholarly works which are supplemented by the new perspective on
political and daily life in Siberia provided by the journal of Hans
Jakob Fries.
