When a dedicated teacher gains one troubled student and an equally wounded parent, can she heal two hearts and find the love she is looking for?

Portland, Oregon. Emma Hewitt never dreamed she'd have to start over outside her rural community. But she rises to the challenge and enthusiastically welcomes her class of kindergartners, right until a harried father drops off his disruptive child mid-meltdown. And after failing to calm the kid's distress as the year advances or get the handsome-but-oh-so-frustrating lawyer to return her calls, she jumps at the chance to squeeze into a surprise meeting at his office.

Discovering the truth behind the five-year-old's trauma, Emma devotes herself to connecting him with professional treatment as she grows close to the wounded family. But despite all her efforts to resist, she begins to worry that she's falling for the cantankerous single dad.

Can she help two broken souls heal and grab hold of a beautiful future together?

The Teacher is the charming first book in The Lewis Brothers women's fiction series. If you like big-hearted heroines, sweet slow-burn romance, and tales of personal growth, then you'll adore Meg Gray's path to happily ever after.

The founder and CEO of Askinosie Chocolate, an award-winning craft chocolate factory, shows readers how he discovered the secret to purposeful work and business - and how we can too, no matter what work we do.

Askinosie Chocolate is a small-batch, award winning chocolate company widely considered to be a vanguard in the industry. Known for sourcing 100% of his cocoa beans directly from farmers across the globe, Shawn Askinosie has pioneered direct trade and profit sharing in the craft chocolate industry with farmers in Tanzania, Ecuador, and the Philippines. In addition to developing relationships with smallholder farmers, the company also partners with schools in their origin communities to provide lunch to 1,600 children every day with no outside donations. Twenty-five years ago, Shawn Askinosie was a successful criminal defense lawyer trying his first murder death penalty case that would later go on to become a Dateline special. For many years he found law satisfying, but after several high profile trials he reached a breaking point and found solace in the search for a new career.

In this inspiring guide to discovering a vocation that feeds your heart and soul, Askinosie describes his quest to discover more meaningful work - a search that led him to volunteering in the palliative care wing of a hospital, to a Trappist monastery where he became inspired by the monks focus on "being" rather than "doing," and eventually traipsing through jungles across the globe in search of excellent cocoa bean farmers to make award winning chocolate. Askinosie shares his hard-won insights into doing work that reflects one's values and purpose in life. He shares with readers visioning tools that can be used in any industry or field to create a work life that is inspired and fulfilling. Askinosie shows us that everyone has the capacity to find meaning in their work and be a positive force for good in the world.

A lo largo de una trama que discurre con la precisión de un mecanismo de relojería, Jane Austen perfila una galería de personajes que conforman un perfecto y sutil retrato de época: las peripecias de una dama empeñada en casar a sus hijas con el mejor partido de la región, los vaivenes sentimentales de las hermanas, el oportunismo de un clérigo adulador... El trazado de los caracteres y el análisis de las relaciones humanas sometidas a un rígido código de costumbres, elementos esenciales en la narrativa de la autora, alcanzan en Orgullo y prejuicio cotas de maestría insuperable.

La noche oscura del alma es el título de un poema escrito por el poeta español del siglo XVI Juan de la Cruz, místico católico, así como de un tratado que escribiría más tarde, haciendo comentarios sobre el poema. San Juan de la Cruz era un sacerdote de la Orden de los Carmelitas. Su poema narra el viaje del alma desde su casa corporal hasta su unión con Dios. El viaje ocurre durante la noche, que representa las dificultades que el alma afronta en viajar desde el mundo y llegar a la luz de la unión con el Creador. Hay unos cuantos pasos en esta noche, que se relacionan en sucesivas estrofas. La idea principal del poema se puede ver como la experiencia dolorosa que la gente soporta cuando procura crecer en madurez espiritual y unión con Dios. El poema se divide en dos libros que reflejan las dos fases de la noche oscura. La primera es una purificación de los sentidos. La segunda y más intensa de las etapas es la de la purificación del espíritu, que es la menos común de las dos. Noche oscura del alma además describe los diez pasos en la escala de amor místico, previamente descrito por Santo Tomás de Aquino y en parte por Aristóteles. El texto se escribía mientras Juan de la Cruz era aprisionado por sus hermanos Carmelitas, que se oponían a sus reformas en la Orden.

Sleep, Death's Brother is an instruction manual on dreaming for children or incarcerated persons, teaching such individuals to lucid dream and thus use their dreams to somewhat escape their situations. While it is often the case that dream life is passively experienced, acclaimed novelist Jesse Ball (born 1978) reminds us that dreaming life is also a place where a sense of agency can grow. Even in the midst of physical or emotional environments that do not support such development in waking life, dreams are a place where one can take control. Ball calls for bravery in the exploration of this practice, and provides the dreamer with useful habits and techniques. Full of affirmation and wisdom, Sleep, Death's Brother is a guidebook "for all oneironauts young and old."

THE PRINCE is a political treatise by the Florentine public servant and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Originally called De Principatibus (About Principalities), THE PRINCE was originally written in 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. THE PRINCE is not representative of the work published during his lifetime, but it is the most remembered, and the work responsible for bringing "Machiavellian" into wide usage as a pejorative term.

The latest in the series based on the popular History of Philosophy podcast, this volume presents the first full history of philosophy in the Islamic world for a broad readership. It takes an approach unprecedented among introductions to this subject, by providing full coverage of Jewish and Christian thinkers as well as Muslims, and by taking the story of philosophy from its beginnings in the world of early Islam all the way through to the twentieth century. Major figures like Avicenna, Averroes, and Maimonides are covered in great detail, but the book also looks at less familiar thinkers, including women philosophers. Attention is also given to the philosophical relevance of Islamic theology (kalam) and mysticism--the Sufi tradition within Islam, and Kabbalah among Jews--and to science, with chapters on disciplines like optics and astronomy. The book is divided into three sections, with the first looking at the first blossoming of Islamic theology and responses to the Greek philosophical tradition in the world of Arabic learning. This 'formative period' culminates with the work of Avicenna, the pivotal figure to whom most later thinkers feel they must respond. The second part of the book discusses philosophy in Muslim Spain (Andalusia), where Jewish philosophers come to the fore, though this is also the setting for such thinkers as Averroes and Ibn Arabi. Finally, a third section looks in unusual detail at later developments, touching on philosophy in the Ottoman, Mughal, and Safavid empires and showing how thinkers in the nineteenth to the twentieth century were still concerned to respond to the ideas that had animated philosophy in the Islamic world for centuries, while also responding to political and intellectual challenges from the European colonial powers.
