Think of the great open spaces of a John Steinbeck novel. Think of the gin-and-jazz era of Scott Fitzgerald sent through the prism of a fine modern imagination' Readers Digest It's 1928. Alan Barber is in love with his best friend's girl.
Clyde Tombaugh is stuck at home farming crops - about as far from his dream of becoming an astronomer as is possible. But by 1930, Alan will be enthralled in his life's greatest romance, and Clyde will have made one of the most significant astronomical discoveries of the twentieth century. Based on a true story, this is an incredible tale of love, ambition and the fullest sweep of human emotion.
Filled with a wondrous cast of fascinating characters and set in the last, vibrant days of the flapper era, it's a novel that will leave you as awestruck as the clear night sky. `The Unfixed Stars is ambitious in its scope, but to read it is to entrust yourself to a writer in seemingly complete control' Times Literary Supplement `It is a rich mix of characters, and Byers handles them assuredly. He has the rare ability to make a multistranded story seem utterly coherent and seamless.
Their tales are suffused with a lovely sense of the period . . .
If a passing alien were to be curious about the hopes, dreams and fears of the species who launched the probe, The Unfixed Stars would be a good place to start' The Times

Описание: In every cook s kitchen, there is a treasured tool: a workhorse utensil, go-to gadget, or a family heirloom with its own background story and the lofty standing of being a cook s most-prized possession. These beloved items say as much about the cook as their style of cooking. They tell stories about a cook s past and about the moments that led them to where they are today. For some, it might be a spoon inherited from a grandmother s silver set, which they use to taste every sauce. Or it could be a spaetzle maker picked up during a stage in Germany that s been used during every job since.

Описание:
In The Sexual Economy of War, Andrew Byers argues that in the early twentieth century, concerns about unregulated sexuality affected every aspect of how the US Army conducted military operations. Far from being an exercise marginal to the institution and its scope of operations, governing sexuality was, in fact, integral to the military experience during a time of two global conflicts and numerous other army deployments.
In this revealing study, Byers shows that none of the issues related to current debates about gender, sex, and the military—the inclusion of LGBTQ soldiers, sexual harassment and violence, the integration of women—is new at all. Framing the American story within an international context, he looks at case studies from the continental United States, Hawaii, the Philippines, France, and Germany. Drawing on internal army policy documents, soldiers' personal papers, and disciplinary records used in criminal investigations, The Sexual Economy of War illuminates how the US Army used official policy, legal enforcement, indoctrination, and military culture to govern wayward sexual behaviors. Such regulation, and its active opposition, leads Byers to conclude that the tension between organizational control and individual agency has deep and tangled historical roots.

Описание: Emma St. Claire has a passion for photography. She loves looking through a lens to capture the beauty the world has to offer. At least she did...until the grainy view exposed the foot of a dead woman in red high heels. Emma knew what she saw, but with the fuzziness of the photo, finding someone who would take her seriously would be just about impossible. She was certain that no one would believe her, not even the gorgeous, serious-minded attorney next door. There was no one else to turn to, though, so she approached him with the photo. Sam Barrington had little patience for drama, even if it came packaged up in a pint-sized fireball who he had the misfortune to have as a neighbor. Having just made partner in his law firm, he did not have time to get involved with anyone, much less the hapless woman next door who appeared at his doorstep, shaken but resolved to drag him into her theories and assumptions. After more bodies are found, though, it quickly becomes clear that Pittsburgh has a serial killer in their midst. Worse, Emma has garnered the attention of the killer and has now put her life in danger. Unfortunately, Sam's protective instinct rears its persistent head and he soon finds himself working harder at protecting her than he does in trying his cases. His main concern now becomes...can he save Emma before the killer makes her his next victim?
