Goodnight

Robinson Michelle: Goodnight Grandchild

Goodnight Grandchild

She can hop into any novel, but she just can’t stay there. Come along with the Book Witch in this magical and inspiring love letter to reading from the USA Today bestselling author of The Wishing Game. Rainy&nbsp;March&nbsp;is a proud, third-generation&nbsp;Book&nbsp;Witch, sworn to defend works of fiction from all foes real and imaginary. With her magical umbrella and feline familiar, she jumps in and out of novels to fix malicious alterations and&nbsp;rogue heroes like a modern-day magical Nancy Drew. Book&nbsp;Witches live by a strict code: Real people belong in the real world; fictional characters belong in works of fiction. Do not eat, drink, or&nbsp;sleep inside a fictional world, lest you become part of the story. Falling in love with a fictional character? Don’t even think about it. Which is why Rainy&nbsp;has been forbidden from&nbsp;seeing the Duke of Chicago, the dashing British detective who stars in her favorite mystery series.&nbsp;If she’s ever caught&nbsp;with&nbsp;him&nbsp;again,&nbsp;she’ll&nbsp;be expelled from her&nbsp;book&nbsp;coven—and forced to give up the magical gifts that are as much a part of her as her own name. But when her beloved grandfather disappears and a priceless book is stolen,&nbsp;there’s only one person she trusts to help her&nbsp;solve the case: the Duke. Their quest takes them through the worlds of Alice in Wonderland, King Arthur, and other classics that will reveal hidden enemies and long-buried family secrets.

König & König

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.

THE INSTANT SWEDISH CULT CLASSIC 'Clever, funny and tender' FREDRIK BACKMAN, bestselling author of My Friends and A Man Called Ove 'A warm and funny tale about betrayal, loneliness and sorrow, but above all the desire to belong' LISA RIDZÉN, bestselling author of When the Cranes Fly South ~~~ There's no health guru in Sweden better than Cassi. Couple's therapy? Puppy yoga? Full moon rituals? She's got everyone in the remote village of Bäcken covered. The locals don't really know who Cassi is or how she managed to turn a derelict cottage into a successful self help retreat, but one thing is clear: they're all willing to pay good money for her services. There's only one problem: Cassi is a fraud. A great one at that, who has concealed her true self - a jobless, depressed alcoholic - and gotten rich in the process. But can a life based on a lie really last? And will her new friends accept her for who she really is when her secrets eventually come to the surface? My Year As A Fraud is a heart-warming, hilarious and healing translated debut novel about hitting rock bottom and finding your way back from an unmissable new voice in Swedish fiction. ~~~ Reader reviews ***** 'This brilliantly translated debut is a warm, witty, and surprisingly tender novel that expertly blends feel-good charm with darker themes of loneliness and self-deception.' ***** 'A heart-warming story about hitting rock bottom, finding unexpected community, and the bittersweet possibility of new beginnings. A compelling read for those who appreciate both humour and emotional depth.' ***** 'This book gave me all the feels! It goes to show that everyone is going through something.'

My Year As A Fraud

SpringerBriefs in Population Studies

Population Studies of Japan

Despite the remarkably serious problems caused by aging and population decline in Japan, there are very few books that inform the world about them in English. Through this book, a Japanese economic demographer clearly shows the various economic consequences of population problems in Japan, especially the impacts of continuing ultra-low fertility and the world's highest life expectancy in the post-demographic transition phase. The explanation is at a basic level but covers the overall economic issues including labor, capital, technical progress, consumption, savings and investment from a demographic perspective. Finally, some remedies for economic growth in Japan are proposed. Because economic policies are expected to have short-term effects while demographic ones to increase the fertility rate need some time to take effect, earlier books about the Japanese economy have hardly ever dealt with demographic policies. Furthermore, this book directly addresses the integrated economic and demographic policies appropriate to Japan. These are different from the French natalistic social policy, the Scandinavian policy of a work-life balance or the immigration policy in Australia or the United States. This book emphasizes the power of local communities in Japan as a part of East Asia. In this sense, the book provides a new key to readers who are interested in the future Japanese economy and population.
