Описание: Recently many people have assumed that we are shaped by our environment: a blank slate waiting to be inscribed by upbringing and culture, with innate abilities playing little part. This title shows that this view denies the heart of our being: human nature.

"The writing is absolutely beautiful. The way Stevenson always knows the right way to describe the twists and turns shows that she's the real deal. She's very eloquent in every aspect of her storytelling." -Southern Belle Book Blog
"The writing in this story is rather consuming. It's not often enough that a book grabs you from the very first page and doesn't let up. This story reads like it flowed effortlessly from this author. That doesn't happen often in this writing climate and when I find it, I feel like I discovered a gem." -Angie & Jessica's Dreamy Reads
"This is no cliche student/teacher romance. It's not light and fluffy. It's real. It's genuine.

You will not want to put this one down." -Biblio Belles Book Blog
" Stevenson] has done a wonderful job of taking a taboo subject...and turning it into something extraordinary and beautiful.

Book Blog
"I am a sucker for student/teacher books and while some of them fall flat, Force of Gravity did not. The writing is so fantastic that you feel each and every emotion first hand....I wanted to call in sick and just hide under the covers and read....The feelings and emotions jumped off the page from the very beginning and kept hold of me until the very last word of the epilogue." -One Chick Bliss
"This may be my favorite student/teacher romance....This book totally took me by surprise....It had a realness that I think is missing in many New Adult] romance novels. This is a fantastic debut from Kelly Stevenson and I cannot wait for the sequel." -Love Between the Sheets
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
In a quiet town in the East Valley of Phoenix, Arizona, everything in life is seemingly perfect for eighteen-year-old Kaley Kennedy. She has loving parents, loyal friends, and is dating the hottest boy in school. With only a few months left of her senior year, she's looking forward to an epic summer before heading off to Los Angeles for college.
Without warning, a gorgeous new math teacher interrupts Kaley's predictable little world, challenging who she is. Suddenly, parties, dates, and Friday nights with her friends seem empty and unfulfilling as she finds herself obsessing over his every move. Desperate for something more, but determined to ignore her fierce attraction, every single relationship in her life begins to crumble by forces beyond her control. Struggling to transition from adolescence to adulthood, Kaley must choose between playing it safe or risking more than just her heart. . . .

Описание: A brilliant inquiry into the origins of human nature from the author of The Better Angels of Our Nature and Enlightenment Now."Sweeping, erudite, sharply argued, and fun to read..also highly persuasive." --Time
Now updated with a new afterword
One of the world's leading experts on language and the mind explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits-a doctrine held by many intellectuals during the past century-denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts. Injecting calm and rationality into debates that are notorious for ax-grinding and mud-slinging, Pinker shows the importance of an honest acknowledgment of human nature based on science and common sense.
