In the summer of 1859, British and American troops stood at the brink of war over a small island in the Pacific Northwest, each claiming sovereignty over the region in a military standoff that has become known as the "Pig War" of San Juan Island. In the midst of the dispute sat a Hudson's Bay Company farm, where seventeen year-old Flora Ross, the Métis daughter (Anishinaabe/Scottish) of a prominent company family, nursed a farmworker's dying wife. The American instigator of the military incursion, Paul K. Hubbs, Jr., courted Flora throughout the standoff, and they were married as the two nations announced a peaceful joint occupation agreement. Their marriage was celebrated in newspapers as a second joint occupation of the island. But the marriage didn't turn out to be peaceful, as Hubbs soon turned abusive and kept a mistress on a neighboring island. To escape, Flora had to overcome the lack of civil divorce laws in the colony of their marriage, the political power of her father-in-law in Washington Territory, and societal prejudices against a young Métis woman struggling to regain her independence and build a career as a nurse. In Her Own Footsteps is written in novel form, but tells the true story of Flora Amelia Ross-a pioneer in the B.C. healthcare industry-and her struggle for identity and independence, to the extent surviving documents permit. It is B.C. history told through the eyes of a young Métis woman caught between two communities, and caught between two nations.

Rhetoric once had a kingly position. Deposed and transformed, it is effective today under changed conditions and other names. A barely discovered, yet productive ferment of postmodernism is the rhetorical use of reason. This thesis is one of the motives of reasearch fo Rhetorica II, which follows up on Rhetorica I with a re-reading of Aristotle, Quintilian and Augustine. Two rhetorically conceived models of the conjectural use of reason are brought to light in theis epistemic-historical study: Vico's Metaphysics and Lévi-Strauss' Mythologica. Both prove to be guiding references in finding answers – based on principles that are, however, not of scientific-dogmatic nature – to those questions asked by reason, which are dependent on conjecture and combination, disentanglement and relation, and communication and emotion.With reference to Vico, rhetoric was already a driving force in the change of paradigm from the rationally directed metaphysics of the ideal world to the rhetorically conceived criticism of reason as a reconstruction of the mondo civile. rhetorica II shows that Lévi-Strauss abides by Vico's productive concept of reason and understands the myth to be a spiritual product of rhetorical origin. This approach makes it possible to enter wild thinking into the history of reason. Through Rhetorica II, conjectural rationality regains its place in the universe of knowledge. The book invites philosophers to take a new look at rhetoric and outlines o philosophy of finiteness. It advises us to strengthen the competence of reason regarding contingency in order to deal with the threats of the present age.

Release your true inner self, shed society's expectations and programming, and regain your equilibrium with A Year with Anthony De Mello. This week-by-week workbook is filled with fifty-two passages and stories of De Mello's echoing wisdom, inspiring quotes from a variety of influential world-famous people, and thought-provoking journal prompts. We have all been programmed to seek happiness outside of ourselves—seized through great effort from an unpredictable world—and then to become upset and self-condemning when our effort fails to realize its promise of fulfillment, which it always fails to do. This is not to say that success isn't a reasonable pursuit, but it cannot give us happiness. Nothing of the world can. Why? Because we have it already. The happiness, peace, and love that defines fulfillment are already yours, encoded in your spiritual DNA. They are not earned or acquired. They live in you as you to be expressed through you. The only effort needed is really no effort at all; it's a matter of coming home to yourself. A Year with Anthony De Mello is a week-by-week workshop of fifty-two passages from De Mello, each followed by a favorite parable or koan Anthony admired to illuminate the passage, and two simple but engaging exercises to actualize the week's teaching. There are also blank pages for journaling about your insights during the week.`

The life-changing international bestseller that started a global movement - now updated with the new 21-Day Essentialism Challenge and an exclusive excerpt from EFFORTLESS Have you ever found yourself struggling with information overload? Have you ever felt both overworked and underutilised? Do you ever feel busy but not productive? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is to become an Essentialist. In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a Leadership and Strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less.

Using the experience and insight of working with the leaders of the most innovative companies and organisations in the world, McKeown shows you how to put Essentialism into practice in your own life, so you too can achieve something great.

Caught in the middle and on the run, a fireling named Thurma and a Gelfling named Kensho will find themselves on a quest that holds the key to saving both kingdoms… and lay bare the secret that connects their two worlds Written by Simon Spurrier (Coda, Step By Bloody Step) and Phillip Kennedy Johnson (The Last God, Action Comics) and lushly illustrated by Kelly and Nichole Matthews (Just Beyond), The Power of the Dark Crystal, the long awaited official sequel to the beloved fantasy film, is collected in its entirety for the first time in this premium hardcover.

When she joined a spiritual organization in an attempt to regain control of her life, Karen Jonson had no clue that she would one day become a Hindu nun living in the US ashram of two men she called her gurus. She certainly never guessed that both of them would turn out to be conmen and that she would expose their dark secrets to the world. But that is exactly what happened. Her mission led her in several directions – including approaching an investigative reporter and an FBI agent, organizing a group of ex-devotees to support the gurus' victims, sharing insider information with prosecuting attorneys, and using social media to expose the organization. Sex, Lies and Two Hindu Gurus chronicles a world that is spoken of only in hushed whispers. It exposes the twisted goings-on inside the dubious spiritual cult she was part of and gives readers a rare insight into a dangerous con game. The perversions the gurus indulged in, how they preyed upon the vulnerabilities of their followers, swindled them and ruined their lives, and why no one has stopped the fake gurus from sexually violating underage girls – every detail comes under scrutiny. It is a thriller comparable to any piece of fiction. It is also a crime drama, and a cautionary tale for people seeking to connect with the divine. Storytel presents you the audiobook with Harper Collins India.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Anxiety can feel confusing, overwhelming, and difficult to understand. In this book, psychologist Marina Mammoliti offers a roadmap to understanding how anxiety works and learning to navigate it with greater resilience and calm. Throughout the eight stages of the anxiety experience, she combines real-life stories, clearly explained psychological concepts, and practical tools based on scientific evidence to help us recognize what’s happening to us and begin to regain our balance. We sleep poorly, live at a frantic pace and are constantly worried; we anticipate problems, demand more of ourselves than we can handle, and are in a constant state of alert. We struggle to slow down, enjoy ourselves, and rest. Excessive anxiety makes us sick, distances us from those we love, and cuts us off from the small pleasures we often abandon without even realizing it. Why, when we have so many comforts, information, and resources to live better, are we the most exhausted and worn-out generation of all time? Anxiety is part of life. But when it becomes constant, when it overwhelms us and begins to dictate our decisions, our relationships, and our rest, something stops working. In Slow Down Your Mind, psychologist Marina Mammoliti proposes understanding what anxiety really is, why it arises, and how to learn to relate to it differently. Through a journey through the eight stages of the anxiety experience, this book combines real stories from patients, clearly explained psychological concepts, and practical tools based on scientific evidence. The result is a roadmap for recognizing what’s happening to us, understanding how our minds work, and beginning step by step to regain something many of us feel we’ve lost: calm.

Bloomsbury presents North Korea: A History by Michael J. Seth, read by John Sackville.North Korea is perhaps the most intriguing, infamous and enigmatic nation of our modern world. Yet how many of us know its full history, and how it came to be? How can we understand such a strange, isolated state?This new edition seeks to provide some answers to these questions. Starting with its origins in the colonial period, Michael J Seth masterfully traces how North Korea transformed itself from a Soviet-style socialist state to the ultra-nationalist, dynastic dictatorship of the 21st century. Born from 20th century Korea's struggles to regain autonomy and achieve modernization, this book follows the story of how a single Korea with a shared ethnic and cultural heritage, evolved into radically different societies. From the birth of the DPRK, through economic collapse, famine and failed revolution, it illuminates North Korea's journey with an engaging understanding of the political, ideological, economic and social forces at play.This edition has been updated to examine recent developments in Korean history, up until 2025, and has analysed over sixty new publications from leading academics. It also incorporates the experiences of prominent North Korean women and analyses the everyday life of ordinary North Koreans, as well as the country's leaders. Seth also uses his expertise to analyse and put more emphasis on Inter-Korean relationsFollowing the evolution of this uncommon nation, North Korea: A History uses the past to answer questions about the present, and above all shows North Korea as a society with a hard-working, long-suffering population who have made great sacrifices in the hopes for a better future.

Ultraproductive is science-backed, actionable, and genuinely transformative' ALI ABDAAL, author of Feel-Good Productivity How many notifications do you receive a day? How many news articles do you see? How much of your life is lost to scrolling, swiping and endless updates? Our work-lives have been turned into boundary-less messes by email and Teams. Because of social media, our personal lives never know peace. We're all trying to keep up without burning out, and being productive is no longer enough; now, we have to be 'ultra'.

In Ultraproductive, Eric Partaker and Dr. Christian Poensgen reveal the transformative power of the 90-minute method - a simple, science-backed approach that addresses the three areas that matter most for our productivity and well-being. Sharper focus: 90 minutes of deep, uninterrupted work each day. Deeper sleep: 90 minutes of deep sleep each night. Smarter stress: Reset stress cycles every 90 minutes. Drawing on cutting-edge research and packed with actionable strategies - from reevaluating your relationship with social media to scheduling 'ultrafocus' sessions - Ultraproductive is the essential guide to achieving more without burning out. Its simple framework will help you regain control over your time and attention, restore your energy, and build the resilience to thrive in an overstimulated world.

FROM THE BESTSELLING, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF IN MEMORIAM 'A dazzlingly witty punch to the gut . . . Winn is a once-in-a-lifetime talent' YAEL VAN DER WOUDEN, author of THE SAFEKEEP 'Funny, deliciously weird and - in the end - deeply moving' DAN JONES, author of POWERS AND THRONES Irish princess Isode is certain she will marry a king worthy of her, and she believes that king might just be Sir Palomides - if only he would convert to Christianity. Her plans, however, are shattered when a mysterious knight named Tristram defeats her beloved in a tournament. Solitary, handsome, and fast becoming the best knight of all, Tristram has no interest in marrying Isode. He only wanted to win approval - worship - from his idol, Palomides, and a seat with the knights of the Round Table. But after the tournament, Tristram and Isode's fates are tied - whether they like it or not. As civil war brews in Camelot, Isode tries to regain control of her once glittering future. Amid turmoil and magic, Tristram and Isode set off on a perilous voyage and begin to see each other in a new light. What if their future holds more than either of them could ever imagine? Dazzlingly inventive and endlessly surprising, WORSHIP is a stunning novel about faith and love in the face of uncertainty - of how far we might go, and what we're willing to lose, for the ones we love. 'Gripping, funny and an utter delight' Ferdia Lennon, author of GLORIOUS EXPLOITS
