]]> <![CDATA[Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor, #1)]]> 34219873
Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks--and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday.

But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate.]]> 465 Jessica Townsend 0316439959 Amed 0 to-read 4.32 2017 Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor, #1)

]]> Candide 19380 Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageous, the French philosopher's immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that � contrary to the teachings of his distinguished tutor Dr. Pangloss � all is not always for the best. Alive with wit, brilliance, and graceful storytelling, Candide has become Voltaire's most celebrated work.]]> 129 Voltaire 0486266893 Amed 0 to-read 3.76 1759 Candide

]]> Animal Farm 170448 Librarian's note: There is an Alternate Cover Edition for this edition of this book here.

A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned –a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.
When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.]]> 141 George Orwell 0451526341 Amed 0 to-read 4.07 1945 Animal Farm

]]> <![CDATA[How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be]]> 55655032 Wall Street Journal bestseller

"A welcome revelation." --The Financial Times

Award-winning Wharton Professor and Choiceology podcast host Katy Milkman has devoted her career to the study of behavior change. In this ground-breaking book, Milkman reveals a proven path that can take you from where you are to where you want to be, with a foreword from psychologist Angela Duckworth, the best-selling author of Grit.

Change comes most readily when you understand what's standing between you and success and tailor your solution to that roadblock. If you want to work out more but find exercise difficult and boring, downloading a goal-setting app probably won't help. But what if, instead, you transformed your workouts so they became a source of pleasure instead of a chore? Turning an uphill battle into a downhill one is the key to success.

Drawing on Milkman's original research and the work of her world-renowned scientific collaborators, How to Change shares strategic methods for identifying and overcoming common barriers to change, such as impulsivity, procrastination, and forgetfulness. Through case studies and engaging stories, you'll learn:

- Why timing can be everything when it comes to making a change
- How to turn temptation and inertia into assets
- That giving advice, even if it's about something you're struggling with, can help you achieve more

Whether you're a manager, coach, or teacher aiming to help others change for the better or are struggling to kick-start change yourself, How to Change offers an invaluable, science-based blueprint for achieving your goals, once and for all.]]> 272 Katy Milkman 059308375X Amed 0 to-read 3.82 2021 How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be

]]> The Boston Girl 22450859
Addie Baum is The Boston Girl, born in 1900 to immigrant parents who were unprepared for and suspicious of America and its effect on their three daughters. Growing up in the North End, then a teeming multicultural neighborhood, Addie's intelligence and curiosity take her to a world her parents can't imagine - a world of short skirts, movies, celebrity culture and new opportunities for women. Addie wants to finish high school and dreams of going to college. She wants a career and to find true love.

Eighty-five-year-old Addie tells the story of her life to her twenty-two-year-old granddaughter, who has asked her "How did you get to be the woman you are today?" She begins in 1915, the year she found her voice and made friends who would help shape the course of her life. From the one-room tenement apartment she shared with her parents and two sisters, to the library group for girls she joins at a neighborhood settlement house, to her first, disastrous love affair, Addie recalls her adventures with compassion for the naïve girl she was and a wicked sense of humor.

Written with the same attention to historical detail and emotional resonance that made Anita Diamant's previous novels bestsellers, The Boston Girl is a moving portrait of one woman’s complicated life in twentieth-century America, and a fascinating look at a generation of women finding their places in a changing world.]]> 320 Anita Diamant 1439199353 Amed 0 to-read 3.81 2014 The Boston Girl

As a human behavior hacker, Vanessa Van Edwards created a research lab to study the hidden forces that drive us. And she’s cracked the code. In Captivate, she shares shortcuts, systems, and secrets for taking charge of your interactions at work, at home, and in any social situation. These aren’t the people skills you learned in school. This is the first comprehensive, science backed, real life manual on how to captivate anyone—and a completely new approach to building connections.

Just like knowing the formulas to use in a chemistry lab, or the right programming language to build an app, Captivate provides simple ways to solve people problems. You’ll learn, for example�

· How to work a room: Every party, networking event, and social situation has a predictable map. Discover the sweet spot for making the most connections.
· How to read faces: It’s easier than you think to speed-read facial expressions and use them to predict people’s emotions.
· How to talk to anyone: Every conversation can be memorable—once you learn how certain words generate the pleasure hormone dopamine in listeners.

When you understand the laws of human behavior, your influence, impact, and income will increase significantly. What’s more, you will improve your interpersonal intelligence, make a killer first impression, and build rapport quickly and authentically in any situation—negotiations, interviews, parties, and pitches. You’ll never interact the same way again.]]> 320 Vanessa Van Edwards 0399564489 Amed 0 to-read 4.11 2017 Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People

]]> سيكولوجية الجماهير 12091888 وفي الحالة الجماهيرية تنخفض الطاقة على التفكير، ويذوب المغاير في المتجانس، بينما تطغى الخصائص التي تصدر عن اللاوعي.
وحتى لو كانت الجماهير علمانية، تبقى لديها ردود فعل دينية، تفضي بها إلى عبادة الزعيم، وإلى الخوف من بأسه، وإلى الإذعان الأعمى لمشيئته، فيصبح كلامه دوغما لا تناقش، وتنشأ الرغبة إلى تعميم هذه الدوغما. أما الذين لا يشاطرون الجماهير إعجابها بكلام الزعيم فيبحون هم الأعداء، لا جماهير من دون قائد كما لا قائد من دون جماهير. كتب لوبون قبل قرن من الزمن.

]]> <![CDATA[12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos]]> 30257963 What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.

Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant, and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure, and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith, and human nature while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its listeners.]]> 409 Jordan B.

In this extraordinary debut novel by the author of the Lambda Literary Award-winning story collection A Safe Girl to Love, Wendy Reimer is a thirty-year-old trans woman who comes across evidence that her late grandfather—a devout Mennonite farmer—might have been transgender himself. At first she dismisses this revelation, having other problems at hand, but as she and her friends struggle to cope with the challenges of their increasingly volatile lives—from alcoholism, to sex work, to suicide—Wendy is drawn to the lost pieces of her grandfather’s life, becoming determined to unravel the mystery of his truth. Alternately warm-hearted and dark-spirited, desperate and mirthful, Little Fish explores the winter of discontent in the life of one transgender woman as her past and future become irrevocably entwined.]]> 320 Casey Plett 1551527200 Amed 0 to-read 3.88 2018 Little Fish

]]> <![CDATA[How to Analyze People: Dark Psychology - Dark Secrets to Analyze and Influence Anyone Using Body Language, Human Psychology, Subliminal Persuasion and NLP]]> 43276199 And much, much more! Even if you feel like you already know how to use manipulation tactics to your advantage, there is still important information in this book that will allow you to better persuade other people around you. Although there are many differences among people, there are also many things that make us the same. In order to better analyze and understand those around you, it’s crucial to find those things that we do connect on, and the things that bring us together rather than the things that tear us apart. It’s important when reading this book, versus the first one, to remember that not all manipulation is bad. In the first book, it was emphasized that those who might be manipulating you might also be taking advantage of you. When reading this book, you should remember that manipulation is a tool, much like a hammer. You can either use that hammer to destroy everything around you, or you could alternatively use that hammer to create something organic, something new. This book will take you first through the discovery and analyzation of those around you, and then it will provide different ways that you can persuade them. The only thing you need before starting this book is the willingness to change. You might have to confront some of your darkest issues, and you might have to put yourself through future scenarios that elicit a feeling of discomfort. In the end, however, you’ll find yourself to be much more self-aware and independent. Grab this book and start the journey to better understanding human psychology today!]]> 92 James W.

What's holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills - time you don't have and effort you can't spare?
Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy?
To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That's why it's difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It's so much easier to watch TV or surf the web...
In The First 20 Hours , Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you'll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well.
This method isn't it's field-tested. Kaufman invites readers to join him as he field tests his approach by learning to program a Web application, play the ukulele, practice yoga, re-learn to touch type, get the hang of windsurfing, and study the world's oldest and most complex board game.

]]> The Diary of a Young Girl 48855
In 1942, with the Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, the Franks and another family lived cloistered in the “Secret Annexe� of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and surprisingly humorous, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.

Ikigai: The Japanese secret to a long and happy life

The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai � a reason to jump out of bed each morning. And according to the residents of the Japanese island of Okinawa � the world’s longest-living people � finding it is the key to a longer and more fulfilled life. Inspiring and comforting, this book will give you the life-changing tools to uncover your personal ikigai. It will show you how to leave urgency behind, find your purpose, nurture friendships and throw yourself into your passions.

The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well

The Danish word hygge is one of those beautiful words that doesn't directly translate into English, but it more or less means comfort, warmth or togetherness. Hygge is the feeling you get when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one, in warm knitted socks, in front of the fire, when it is dark, cold and stormy outside. It that feeling when you are sharing good, comfort food with your closest friends, by candle light and exchanging easy conversation. It is those cold, crisp blue sky mornings when the light through your window is just right.

Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living

Step aside Hygge. Lagom is the new Scandi lifestyle trend taking the world by storm. This delightfully illustrated book gives you the lowdown on this transformative approach to life and examines how the lagom ethos has helped boost Sweden to the No.10 ranking in 2017's World Happiness Report. Lagom (pronounced 'lah-gom') has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as 'not too little, not too much, just right'. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term 'laget om', for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle and there was just enough for everyone to get a sip.]]> Héctor García 9123672609 Amed 0 to-read 3.85 2018 Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life / The Little Book of Lykke / Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living

]]> Neuromancer (Sprawl, #1) 6088007 Neuromancer is a cyberpunk, science fiction masterpiece—a classic that ranks with 1984 and Brave New World as one of the twentieth century’s most potent visions of the future.

The Matrix is a world within the world, a global consensus-hallucination, the representation of every byte of data in cyberspace...

Henry Dorsett Case was the sharpest data-thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled his nervous system. But now a new and very mysterious employer recruits him for a last-chance run. The target: an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction.

The winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind’s digital future—a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about our technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations.]]> 288 William Gibson Amed 0 to-read 3.94 1984 Neuromancer (Sprawl, #1)

]]> <![CDATA[The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir]]> 50690953
The result is a White House memoir that is the most comprehensive and substantial account of the Trump Administration, and one of the few to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the President, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a President for whom getting re-elected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation. “I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by re-election calculations,� he writes. In fact, he argues that the House committed impeachment malpractice by keeping their prosecution focused narrowly on Ukraine when Trump’s Ukraine-like transgressions existed across the full range of his foreign policy - and Bolton documents exactly what those were, and attempts by him and others in the Administration to raise alarms about them.

He shows a President addicted to chaos, who embraced our enemies and spurned our friends, and was deeply suspicious of his own government. In Bolton’s telling, all this helped put Trump on the bizarre road to impeachment. “The differences between this presidency and previous ones I had served were stunning,� writes Bolton, who worked for Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43. He discovered a President who thought foreign policy is like closing a real estate deal - about personal relationships, made-for-TV showmanship, and advancing his own interests. As a result, the US lost an opportunity to confront its deepening threats, and in cases like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea ended up in a more vulnerable place.

Bolton’s account starts with his long march to the West Wing as Trump and others woo him for the National Security job. The minute he lands, he has to deal with Syria’s chemical attack on the city of Douma, and the crises after that never stop. As he writes in the opening pages, “If you don’t like turmoil, uncertainty, and risk - all the while being constantly overwhelmed with information, decisions to be made, and sheer amount of work - and enlivened by international and domestic personality and ego conflicts beyond description, try something else.�

The turmoil, conflicts, and egos are all there - from the upheaval in Venezuela, to the erratic and manipulative moves of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, to the showdowns at the G7 summits, the calculated warmongering by Iran, the crazy plan to bring the Taliban to Camp David, and the placating of an authoritarian China that ultimately exposed the world to its lethal lies. But this seasoned public servant also has a great eye for the Washington inside game, and his story is full of wit and wry humor about how he saw it played.]]> 592 John Bolton 1982148039 Amed 0 to-read 3.02 2020 The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir

]]> <![CDATA[Lost Islamic History: Reclaiming Muslim Civilisation from the Past]]> 20794875
Yet many of the contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists and theologians, not to mention rulers, statesmen and soldiers, have been occluded. This book rescues from oblivion and neglect some of these personalities and institutions, while offering the reader a new narrative of this lost Islamic history. The Umayyads, Abbasids, and Ottomans feature in the story, as do Muslim Spain, the savannah kingdoms of West Africa and the Mughal Empire, along with the later European colonization of Muslim lands and the development of modern nation-states in the Muslim world.

Throughout, the impact of Islamic belief on scientific advancement, social structures, and cultural development is given due prominence, and the text is complemented by portraits of key personalities, inventions and little known historical nuggets. The history of Islam and of the world's Muslims brings together diverse peoples, geographies and states, all interwoven into one narrative that begins with Muhammad and continues to this day.]]> 217 Firas Alkhateeb 1849043973 Amed 0 to-read 4.43 2014 Lost Islamic History: Reclaiming Muslim Civilisation from the Past

]]> <![CDATA[When We Faded (Faded Duet, #1)]]> 39662819 "A classic country song come to life.� - Inked Avenue Book Blog, 5 star review

When Felicity Wilde arrives in Nashville, she’s not looking for fame � she just wants a safe place to hide from the ghosts of her past. And for a while, starting fresh seems possible. She lands a job at a local music hotspot, collects her tips, and keeps her head down.

Until one night, he steps on stage.

Ryder Woods is a rising star. Everyone knows he’s destined for bigger things � it’s only a matter of time before he lands a record deal and heads for Los Angeles without looking back. He has no interest in getting stuck in Nashville, like all the other washed-up musicians who’ve never quite made it. But once he spots the quiet girl working behind the bar � the one with haunted eyes, who sings the most heartbreaking lyrics he’s ever heard in his life � Ryder’s suddenly not in such a hurry to leave.

As Felicity and Ryder begin to make music together, their connection only deepens� but with demons of Felicity’s past circling closer, and the demands of Ryder’s future finally coming to fruition, they’ll find themselves at an undeniable crossroads�

They always say fame comes with a price.
But what if that price is the love of your life?

FADED is the first installment of an angsty, addictive newcontemporary romanceduetabout two star-crossed musicians. From the dark streets of Nashville to the bright lights of Los Angeles, Ryder & Felicity's story is a whirlwind of bandmate drama, steamy romance, and original song lyrics.

]]> <![CDATA[ماذا خسر العالم بانحطاط المسلمين]]> 2905549
إن الإسلام عقيدة استعلاء، من أخص خصائصها أنها تبعث في روح المؤمن بها إحساس العزة من غير كبر، وروح الثقة في غير اغتدار، وشعور الاطمئنان في غير تواكل وإنها تشعر المسلمين بالتبعة الإنسانية الملقاة على كواهلهم، وتبعة القيادة في هذه الأرض للقطعان الضالة، وهدايتها إلى الدين القيّم والطريق السوي، وإخراجها من الظلمات إلى النور بما أتاهم الله من نور الهدى والفرقان. وهذا الكتاب الذي بين يدي القارئ يثير في نفس قارئه هذه المعاني كلها، وينفث في روعه تلك الخصائص جميعها، ولكنه لا يعتمد في هذا على مجرد الاستشارة الوجدانية أو العصبية الدينية، بل يتخذ الحقائق الموضوعية أدانه، فيعرضها على النظر والحس والعقل والوجدان جميعاً، ويعرض الوقائع التاريخية والملابسات الحاضرة عرضاً عادلاً مستنيراً، ويتحاكم في القضية التي يعرضها كاملة إلى الحق والواقع والمنطق والضمير، فتبدو كلها متساندة في صفه وفي صف قضيته، بلا تمحل ولا اعتساف في مقدمة أو نتيجة وتلك مزية من مزايا الكتاب.

انه يبدأ فيرسم صورة صغيرة سريعة، ولكنها واضحة، لهذا العالم قبل أن تشرق عليه أنوار الإسلام. يرسم الصورة لهذا العالم شرقاً وغرباً وشمالاً وجنوباً وكيف تسيطر عليه روح الجاهلية فيسوده الظلم والعبودية وتفشاه غاشية من الكفر والضلال والظلام، فإذا فرغ المؤلف من رسم صورة العالم بجاهلية هذه، بدأ يعرض دور الإسلام في حياة البشرية، ودوره في تخليص المجتمع الإنساني من الظلم والطغيان. ومن التفكك والانهيار، ومن فوارق الطبقات واستبداد الحكام واستدلال الكهان، ودوره في بناء العالم على أسس من الفقه والنظافة والإيجابية والبناء، والعدالة والكرامة، ومن العمل الدائب لتنمية الحياة وترقية الحياة، وإعطاء كل ذي حق حقه في الحياة. كل أولئك في إبان الفترة التي كانت القيادة فيها للإسلام في أي مكان، والتي كان الإسلام فيها يعمل. ثم تجيء الفترة التي فقد الإسلام فيها الزمام، بسبب انحطاط المسلمين، وتخليهم عن القيادة التي يفرضها عليهم هذا الدين، والوصاية التي يكلفهم بها على البشرية، والتبعات التي ينوطها بهم في كل اتجاه.

وهنا يستعرض المؤلف أسباب هذا الانحطاط الروحية والمادية، ويصف ما حل بالمسلمين أنفسهم عندما تخلوا عن مبادئ دينهم، ونكصوا عن تبعاتهم، وما نزل بالعالم كله من فقدانه لهذه القيادة الراشدة، ومن انتكاسه إلى الجاهلية الأولى ويرسم هذا الخط عن طريق التأمل الفاحص. ومن خلال هذا الاستعراض، يحس القارئ، بمدى الحاجة البشرية الملحة إلى تغيير القيادة الإنسانية، وردها إلى الهدى الذي انبثق ليخرج الناس من الظلمات إلى النور، ومن الجاهلية إلى المعرفة، وبمدة الخسارة التي حلت بالبشر جميعاً، لا بالمسلمين وحدهم في الماضي وفي الحاضر وفي المستقبل القريب والبعيد. إلى جانب ذلك فإن الخصيصة البارزة في هذا الكتاب كله هي الفهم العميق لكليات الروح الإسلامية في محيطها الشامل، وهو لهذا لا يعد نموذجاً للبحث الديني والاجتماعي فحسب، بل نموذجاً كذلك للتاريخ كما ينبغي أن يكتب من الزاوية الإسلامية، فهو ينظر إلى الأمور كلها، وللعوامل جميعها، وللقيم على اختلافها فحين يتحدث المؤلف عن رد القيادة العالمية إلى الإسلام فهو يتحدث عن مؤهلات القيادة، فلا ينسى بجوار (الاستعداد الروحي) أن يلح في (الاستعداد الصناعي والحربي) و(التنظيم العلمي الجديد) وأن يتحدث عن (الاستقلال التجاري والمالي) انه الإحساس المتناسق بكل مقومات الحياة البشرية. وبهذا الإحساس المتناسق سار المؤلف في استعراضه التاريخي، وفي توجيهه للأمة الإسلامية سواء.]]> 303 Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi Amed 0 to-read 4.14 1944 ماذا خسر العالم بانحطاط المسلمين
