Description
"A powerful commentary and memoir that challenge Western narratives of Sierra Leone."- Kirkus ReviewsSierra Leone is often sensationalized as a place of extreme violence and suffering—of blood diamonds, child soldiers, war amputations, and Ebola and now the highly addictive drug Kush. Before Before captures daily life in a different country, one Betsy Small first encountered as a Peace Corps worker between 1984–1987, and then rediscovered when she returned decades later with her daughter. Living in Tokpombu, a remote community of forty rice-farming families, the author faced struggles that changed her forever and witnessed the growing tensions in this rainforest village—between the young and old, between the traditions of oral history and honoring the ancestors valued by the elders and the siren call of the illicit diamond mines faced by the youth. Before Before offers a rare portrait of everyday people, with particular focus on the lives of women and girls, before the brutal war of 1991 tore the country apart. Through Small’s account of immersion in another world as she witnessed injustice and was welcomed as a friend, readers are invited to explore the shared ground of our humanity.

Description
A work of experimental nonfiction that spotlights the so-called Undesirables of recent history, forced into martyrdom and infamy.Daniel Elkind’s hybrid-genre debut, Chizhevsky’s Chandelier is a nonfiction experiment that tells the story of A.L. Chizhevsky, the inventor and father of the field of heliobiology, who — like his hero Galileo — was punished for daring to suggest that human history revolved around the sun.This expansive narrative of historical reckoning stages a confrontation between factions of American anarchists, disciples of the Báb in 19th-century Persia, Jewish baseball players, and the quixotic quest to grow enormous chickens. Nested within is the story of the last Soviet generation (the “Tetris generation”) and its dreams and illusions. In biographical chapters recalling his experience as a refugee from Soviet Russia, Elkind finds echoes of the exile of Emma Goldman and other political Undesirables from America to their “native” land in 1919, then in the throes of revolutionary fervor.The result of this literary experiment is an irreverent and deeply personal investigation into what it means to record and remember in today’s oversaturated world, where all of the stories we tell ourselves have been turned inside-out.

Description
Explores the bleach-scented, dizzyingly over-lit world of a supermarket’s aisles, as austerity makes everyone within the store’s walls poorer.In the labyrinth of Tesco’s flagship supermarket, precariously employed workers search for dignity at the margins of late-capitalist London, while a nameless narrator cycles through the discarded nametags of sacked colleagues. Gradually absorbing their stories, he drifts from shifts at the superstore to temporary accommodation, as imminent homelessness threatens his intellectual hopes. Petty triumphs, quiet humiliations, and fleeting acts of kindness become markers of resistance to the wider collapse beyond the store’s walls.A Working Title I Want to Change explores the dizzyingly over-lit world of austerity Britain, revealing consumerism’s rituals and illusions in all their comedy and menace.

It’s a win-win for both of them.Nate is charming and sexy with perfectly polished cheekbones and a smooth as chocolate British accent. She’s an American soccer mom who has had less than good luck in the love department. They shouldn’t have anything in common except ambition. The more time they spend together, the more Paige begins to see the man behind the spoiled movie star façade. In private, he’s a different person, and things are starting to get very personal.It’s going to be difficult to remember… They’re only kissing for the cameras.

Description
In Job Architecture, economist and entrepreneur Ben Zweig offers a revolutionary approach to transforming human capital management through the power of taxonomies. The book follows the experience and ideas of key individuals--from the founders of Wall Street, to the original management consultant, to a young data scientist just out of grad school looking to make sense of the modern workforce--in order to illustrate why our current human capital infrastructure is not serving employees well and what we can do to change that. By categorizing and organizing workforce data, Zweig provides a practical roadmap for creating a more efficient and data-driven labor market.

Description
For as long as he could remember, Fitzwilliam Darcy had dealt with the schemes of his identical twin Alexander and Pemberley’s steward’s son, George Wickham, who did all in their power to prove him unworthy of being George Darcy’s heir. Jealous that Fitzwilliam had been born first, Alexander had found purpose in tormenting his reticent brother in every conceivable way. After their father’s death, however, he found himself at the mercy of the person he always resented.
By chance, Elizabeth Bennet met Alexander Darcy the summer he visited Charles Bingley at Netherfield Park. Instantly taken with his charming manners, handsome mien and unconcealed interest, Elizabeth was totally unprepared when circumstances dictated that she marry his taciturn brother.
Before it is too late for happiness, will Elizabeth discover which of the Darcy brothers is good whilst the other merely has the appearance of goodness?
