Melissa, eller Bernie som hon kallas, har aldrig brytt sig om berömmelse. Som bibliotekarie på ett universitetsbibliotek är det heller inte särskilt ofta möjligheten att bli kändis uppenbarar sig. Men när en video av ett frieri som äger rum i biblioteket blir en viral succé, är det inte de nyförlovade som uppmärksamheten riktas mot, utan mot Bernie som i en helknasig min himlar med ögonen åt hela spektaklet. Snart är ”Ogillande bibliotekarien” ett begrepp som snurrar runt i alla sociala medier.Colin är journalist och om han inte får ett scoop snart är troligtvis hans karriär som dejtingrådgivare i en ung, hipp nättidning över. Trots hans egna högst bristfälliga meriter på dejtingscenen lyckas han till sin chefredaktör pitcha idén om att hitta dejter till de odejtbara - till exempel Bernie.Bernie tror inte på lyckliga slut och klarar sig alltid utmärkt på egen hand. Men hon har också svårt att motstå en utmaning. Hon går alltså med på Colins förslag om att dejta 30 olika män på 30 dagar. Men det blir inte den hon tänkt som vinner hennes hjärta till slut.30 dejter på 30 dagar är den första, helt fristående, delen i en serie om kärlek på bibliotek.

”Kärlekens lagar” är den tredje fristående delen i Sarah Titles serie om kärlek på bibliotek. Becky är säker på att hon gjorde rätt som stack innan hennes one night stand vaknade. Tills han kliver in på hennes kontor som den nye advokaten.Becky är bibliotekarie på en stor advokatbyrå i Denver. I motsats till sin överpresterande karriäristfamilj vill hon leva ett vanligt liv. Hon är mer än redo att träffa sin drömprins och slå sig ner med villa, Volvo och vovve. Men hon är också nydumpad. Igen.Foster är toppadvokat i New York och blir erbjuden sin karriärs största fall – i Denver. Han återvänder till sin hemstad för att göra jobbet och sedan åka tillbaka.Under en blöt kväll på en sportbar möts de och tillbringar en magisk natt ihop.

När hans kärlek för hennes gamla hemstad är stark och hon bara vill komma därifrån, är deras romans dömd att misslyckas?Liam är bibliotekarie och älskar den lilla staden på den amerikanska östkusten där han bor. Han älskar vänligheten, nyfikenheten och det livfulla biblioteket i stadens mitt där han också jobbar. När Joanna återvänder till staden blir hon samtalsämnet på allas läppar. Hon väcker spänning, förtjusning och åtrå. Åtminstone hos Liam.Joanna trodde aldrig hon skulle behöva komma tillbaka till sin tråkiga hemstad igen. Hon hade skivkontraktet med sitt rockband inom räckhåll och skulle ta Los Angeles med storm, tills skivbolaget drog tillbaka kontraktet och hennes farmor bröt benet. Dessutom springer hon in i Liam, allas favoritbibliotekarie, vart hon än vänder sig. Han är ju charmig, har god musiksmak och synen av honom i löparshorts är synnerligen distraherande. Med Liam i närheten blir kanske tillvaron i den lilla staden inte så tråkig trots allt.

Sarah Brown gave up a successful career in business to serve the country. A passionate campaigner for women and children, she mobilised over a million people through her early adoption of Twitter. This title is her memoir.

<p>This title was first published in 2002: Gesa Stedman mines the vein of emotion in Victorian writing to unearth new insights into the ways literature responded to the dramatic social and political changes then taking place. Contemporary research from various disciplines, including sociology, ethnology and history, inform this study, which juxtaposes canonical material such as Dickens' "Hard Times", Charlotte Bronte's "Shirley" and Germaine de Stael's "Corinne" with popular novels and non-fictional texts, such as "The Education of the Heart" by Sarah Ellis and Darwin's "On the Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals". The analysis deals with emotions applying to both genders, but includes a special section examining the representation of emotion in relation to women. The book aims to provide new insight into the literature of the period, and brings to light new material for scholars interested in the philosophy and psychology of emotions.</p>

<p>This title was first published in 2002. The concept of sustainable development has increasingly gained currency as a policy determination tool, yet its interpretation and application is widely contested, especially with respect to the role of economics in the facilitation of environmentally and socially sustainable outcomes. Sarah Lumley assesses some of the fundamental assumptions of mainstream economic theory as part of an analysis of farmers' motives in adopting soil conservation on degraded lands in the Philippines. The text has a strong focus on the theoretical and practical interactions between environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainable development; it is both multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary, and draws on conceptually important points of each discipline that it encompasses.</p>

Yet it has long been recognized that the world the ancients perceived, and the senses through which they channelled this information could operate differently from the patterns and processes of perception in the modern world.

This is the English language edtion of the Hebrew title Hatanach Haya Be-emet published in Israel in 2009 by Yediot Acharonot. Why does the Bible support marriage to multiple wives? Why does only one son inherit his father's property? Is it possible that the journey's hardships and the severe shortage of food prevented Sarah from conceiving? In "The Bible Really Happened," Dr Liora Ravid follows in the footsteps of the biblical heroes, examining their stories based on the social and legal reality of their time. The book reconstructs the historical journey of Abraham and his family from Ur of the Chaldees to the land of Canaan -- from a land that worshipped multiple idols to the land of the One God, the birthplace of David, the judges, the prophets, and Jesus. Ravid questions why the Bible begins with stories of the forefathers and foremothers, describing them as simple shepherds. Why were they so important? Ravid demonstrates that according to the pedigree in Genesis, the forefathers and foremothers originated from one noble family, the family that gave rise to King David, ancestor of the Messiah, and according to the New Testament, to Jesus as well.Readers of the English Bible are often unaware of the special writing style of the original Hebrew, which uses rich wordplay and double entendre to add multiple layers of colour and depth to the text. Especially for the non-Hebrew reader, the author opens a window on this hidden world within the words.

This summer Sadye has her talents set on Wildewood's prestigious theatre summer camp.

"Filthy Shakespeare," "Great Roles Can Be Cannibalistic," "Japanese Death Poems," "Poetry and Persian Wrestling," "What Story Does Poetry Tell?" "Armenian Poetry," and "Can There Be Poetry After Donald Trump?" Perceptive, witty, and intimate, the mini musings bubble with a sense of wonder, excitement, and intimacy. A vibrant, provocative series of mini musings that also affords insight into a particular artistic sensibility as several pieces are really slices of memoir and autobiography.
