Outdated By:Samhita Mukhopadhyay Published on 2011-09-27 by Seal Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Romance and love are in a state of crisis: Statistically speaking, young women today are living romantic lives of all kinds—but they’re still feeling bogged down by social, cultural, economic, and familial pressures to love in a certain way. Young women in the modern world have greater flexibility than ever when it comes to who we choose to love and how we choose to love them; but while social circumstances may have changed since our parents’ generation, certain life expectations remain. In Outdated, Samhita Mukhopadhyay addresses the difficulty of negotiating loving relationships within the borderlands of race, culture, class, and sexuality—and of holding true to our convictions and maintaining our independence while we do it. Outdated analyzes how different forms of media, cultural norms, family pressure, and even laws, are produced to scare women into believing that if they don’t devote themselve

Intimations By:Alexandra Kleeman Published on 2016-09-13 by HarperCollins ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) From the celebrated author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine,a thought-provoking, often unsettling story collection that consists, broadly, of narrative diagrams of the three main stages in a human life: birth, life, and death. Alexandra Kleeman’s debut novel You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine earned her comparisons to Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Ben Marcus, and Tom Perrotta. It was praised by the New York Times as |a powerful allegory of our civilization’s many maladies, artfully and elegantly articulated, by one of the young wise women of our generation.| In her second book, a collection of twelve stories irresistibly seductive in their strangeness, she explores human life from beginning to end: the distress of birth into a world already formed; the brief and confusing period of |living| where we understand what is expected of us and struggle to do it; and the death-y period toward the end w

Christian Dating in a Godless World By:Fr. T.G.

If you’re satisfied with this, then I don’t think you’ll like this book.

Introduction to Optical Dating By:M. J. Aitken Published on 1998-07-09 by Clarendon Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Optical dating is a rapidly developing technique, used primarily in the dating of sediments deposited in the last 500,000 or more years.
