| rihanna gideon: Dagger Zoe Dawson, 2025-04-14 He failed to save his brother. Now he’s risking everything to protect the woman they both loved. When an elite architecture firm is contracted to build the new U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, a SEAL team is deployed to provide protection. But this isn’t just another mission—it’s a personal reckoning. Architect Quinn Cole, the fiercely talented owner, is a widow navigating the shadows of grief, guilt, and ambition. Her late husband, a DSS operator, was killed in this very city—and the man now tasked with guarding her is his brother. Navy SEAL Kade “Dagger” Hollis. Their past is a battlefield. Their chemistry? Unforgivable. She blames him for everything she lost. And he’s never stopped loving the one woman he was never supposed to want.

It’s a second chance—at redemption, at love, at everything he thought he’d buried. As danger closes in, the lines between duty and desire blur. Quinn is determined to prove she’s not broken anymore, even if it means confronting the man who makes her question everything. Because in a world full of enemies, the most forbidden love might be the only thing worth saving. Steamy, emotional, and packed with heart-pounding action—Dagger is a pulse-racing military romantic suspense featuring a protective alpha hero, a strong heroine, and a love story born from heartbreak and healing. Perfect for fans of Navy SEAL romance, bodyguard romance, and emotional slow burns with edge-of-your-seat intensity. |
| rihanna gideon: African Americans and Criminal Justice Delores D. Jones-Brown, Beverly D. Frazier, Marvie Brooks, 2014-07-15 Does justice exist for Blacks in America? This comprehensive compilation of essays documents the historical and contemporary impact of the law and criminal justice system on people of African ancestry in the United States. African Americans and Criminal Justice: An Encyclopedia comprises descriptive essays documenting the ways in which people of African descent have been victimized by oppressive laws enacted by local, state, and federal authorities in the United States. The entries also describe how Blacks became disproportionately represented in national crime statistics, largely through their efforts to resist legalized oppression in early American history, and present biographies of famous and infamous Black criminal suspects and victims throughout early American history and in contemporary times. Providing coverage of law and criminal justice practices from the precolonial period, including the introduction of African slaves, up to practices in modern-day America, this encyclopedia presents a frank and comprehensive view of how Americans of African descent have come to be viewed as synonymous with criminality. This book represents an essential learning resource for all American citizens, regardless of race or age. |

And her editor, the smart and attractively cynical Benjamin, is definitely flirting with her—while also respecting her writing.

| rihanna gideon: Wife 22 Melanie Gideon, 2013-02-12 “A skillful blend of pop-culture references, acidic humor, and emotional moments. It will take its rightful place . . . alongside Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s Diary, Anna Maxted’s Getting Over It, and Allison Pearson’s I Don’t Know How She Does It.”—Library Journal (starred review) Alice has been married to her husband, William, for twenty years. Though she can still remember the first time they met like it was yesterday, these days she finds herself posting things on Facebook that she used to confide to him. So when she’s invited to participate in an anonymous online survey on marriage and love, she finds that all her longings come pouring out as she dutifully answers questions under the name “Wife 22.” Evaluating her responses is “Researcher 101,” who seems to listen to her in a way that William hasn’t in a very long time, and before she knows it, she finds herself trying hard not to e-flirt with him. Meanwhile, her elderly father is chatting on Facebook, her fifteen-year-old daughter is tweeting, and everything in her life is turning upside down. Wife 22 is a hilariously funny, profoundly moving, and deeply perceptive novel about the ways we live and love in this technological age, from a dazzling new voice in fiction. “An LOL Instagram about love in a wired world.”—People “Vibrant, au courant, and hilarious . . . brilliant!”—Adriana Trigiani |
| rihanna gideon: Build a House Rhiannon Giddens, 2022-10-11 Grammy Award winner Rhiannon Giddens celebrates Black history and culture in her unflinching, uplifting, and gorgeously illustrated picture book debut. I learned your words and wrote my song. I put my story down. As an acclaimed musician, singer, songwriter, and cofounder of the traditional African American string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Rhiannon Giddens has long used her art to mine America’s musical past and manifest its future, passionately recovering lost voices and reconstructing a nation’s musical heritage. Written as a song to commemorate the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth—which was originally performed with famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma—and paired here with bold illustrations by painter Monica Mikai, Build a House tells the moving story of a people who would not be moved and the music that sustained them. Steeped in sorrow and joy, resilience and resolve, turmoil and transcendence, this dramatic debut offers a proud view of history and a vital message for readers of all ages: honor your heritage, express your truth, and let your voice soar, even—or perhaps especially—when your heart is heaviest. |
| rihanna gideon: Trust Me, I'm Lying Ryan Holiday, 2013-07-02 The cult classic that predicted the rise of fake news—revised and updated for the post-Trump, post-Gawker age. Hailed as astonishing and disturbing by the Financial Times and essential reading by TechCrunch at its original publication, former American Apparel marketing director Ryan Holiday’s first book sounded a prescient alarm about the dangers of fake news. It's all the more relevant today. Trust Me, I’m Lying was the first book to blow the lid off the speed and force at which rumors travel online—and get traded up the media ecosystem until they become real headlines and generate real responses in the real world. The culprit? Marketers and professional media manipulators, encouraged by the toxic economics of the news business. Whenever you see a malicious online rumor costs a company millions, politically motivated fake news driving elections, a product or celebrity zooming from total obscurity to viral sensation, or anonymously sourced articles becoming national conversation, someone is behind it. Often someone like Ryan Holiday. As he explains, “I wrote this book to explain how media manipulators work, how to spot their fingerprints, how to fight them, and how (if you must) to emulate their tactics. Why am I giving away these secrets? Because I’m tired of a world where trolls hijack debates, marketers help write the news, opinion masquerades as fact, algorithms drive everything to extremes, and no one is accountable for any of it. I’m pulling back the curtain because it’s time the public understands how things really work. What you choose to do with this information is up to you.” |
| rihanna gideon: The Age of the Strongman Gideon Rachman, 2022-04-12 Named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist, Foreign Affairs, The Times (UK) and Sunday Times From Putin, Trump, and Bolsonaro to Erdoğan, Orbán, and Xi, an intimate look at the rise of strongman leaders around the world. The first truly global treatment of the new nationalism, underpinned by an exceptional level of access to its key actors, from the award-winning journalist and author of Easternization. This is the most urgent political story of our time: authoritarian leaders have become a central feature of global politics. Since 2000, self-styled strongmen have risen to power in capitals as diverse as Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Brasilia, Budapest, Ankara, Riyadh, and Washington. These leaders are nationalists and social conservatives, with little tolerance for minorities, dissent, or the interests of foreigners. At home, they claim to be standing up for ordinary people against globalist elites; abroad, they posture as the embodiments of their nations. And everywhere they go, they encourage a cult of personality. What’s more, these leaders are not just operating in authoritarian political systems but have begun to emerge in the heartlands of liberal democracy. Gideon Rachman has been in the same room with most of these strongmen and reported from their countries over a long journalistic career. While others have tried to understand their rise individually, Rachman pays full attention to the widespread phenomenon and uncovers the complex and often surprising interaction among these leaders. In the process, he identifies the common themes in our local nightmares, finding global coherence in the chaos and offering a bold new paradigm for navigating our world. |
| rihanna gideon: Letters to Palestine Vijay Prashad, 2015-04-14 Operation Protective Edge, Israel's seven-week bombing campaign and ground invasion of Gaza in the summer of 2014, resulted in half a million displaced Gazans, tens of thousands of destroyed homes, and more than 2,000 deaths-and, yet, it was only the latest in a long series of assaults endured by Palestinians isolated in Gaza. But, following the conflict, polls revealed a startling fact: for the first time, a majority of Americans under thirty found Israel's actions unjustified. Jon Stewart aired a blistering attack on Israeli violence, and a video of a UN spokesperson weeping as he was interviewed in Gaza went viral, appearing on Vanity Fair and Buzzfeed, among other sites. This book traces this swelling American recognition of Palestinian suffering, struggle, and hope, in writing that is personal, lyrical, anguished, and inspiring. Some of the leading writers of our time, such as Junot Daz and Teju Cole, poets and essayists, novelists and scholars, Palestinian American activists like Huwaida Arraf, Noura Erakat, and Remi Kanazi, give voice to feelings of empathy and solidarity-as well as anger at US support for Israeli policy-in intimate letters, beautiful essays, and furious poems. This is a landmark work of controversial, committed literary writing. |
| rihanna gideon: Authoritative Democracies Bill K. Koul, 2022-07-22 This book comments on growing authoritarianism in democracy and suggests how it ought to be instead. It asks if some degree of authoritarianism is the need of the hour to address potentially existential issues facing the human race. Readers are encouraged to analyse the state of democracy in their own countries and verify if it meets their expectations, or if it is just a myth or an imposter, or a necessary but imperfect compulsion in the absence of a perfect alternative. The book presents a commentary on the state of democracy in some of the world’s leading democracies. It aims to challenge the human mind, which seems to be getting accustomed to not having to think, thanks to a constant bombardment of information—real and fake and in-between—that it receives through social and print media, which is freely accessible through smartphone to which it has become addicted. It discusses how the drivers of capitalism – through their business-like connections with powerful and influential politicians and celebrities—could be cleverly manipulating the gullible human mind and exploiting the system to their own material benefit. |

| rihanna gideon: Hollywood and Israel Tony Shaw, Giora Goodman, 2022-03-08 Winner, 2023 Shapiro Best Book Award, Association for Israel Studies From Frank Sinatra’s early pro-Zionist rallying to Steven Spielberg’s present-day peacemaking, Hollywood has long enjoyed a “special relationship” with Israel. This book offers a groundbreaking account of this relationship, both on and off the screen. Tony Shaw and Giora Goodman investigate the many ways in which Hollywood’s moguls, directors, and actors have supported or challenged Israel for more than seven decades. They explore the complex story of Israel’s relationship with American Jewry and illuminate how media and soft power have shaped the Arab-Israeli conflict. Shaw and Goodman draw on a vast range of archival sources to demonstrate how show business has played a pivotal role in crafting the U.S.-Israel alliance. They probe the influence of Israeli diplomacy on Hollywood’s output and lobbying activities, but also highlight the limits of ideological devotion in high-risk entertainment industries. The book details the political involvement with Israel—and Palestine—of household names such as Eddie Cantor, Kirk Douglas, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbra Streisand, Vanessa Redgrave, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert De Niro, and Natalie Portman. It also spotlights the role of key behind-the-scenes players like Dore Schary, Arthur Krim, Arnon Milchan, and Haim Saban. Bringing the story up to the moment, Shaw and Goodman contend that the Hollywood-Israel relationship might now be at a turning point. Shedding new light on the political power that images and celebrity can wield, Hollywood and Israel shows the world’s entertainment capital to be an important player in international affairs. |
| rihanna gideon: Modern British Playwriting: 2000-2009 Dan Rebellato, 2013-12-16 Essential for students of theatre studies, Methuen Drama's Decades of Modern British Playwriting series provides a comprehensive survey and study of the theatre produced in each decade from the 1950s to 2009 in six volumes. Each volume features a critical analysis and reevaluation of the work of four/five key playwrights from that decade authored by a team of experts, together with an extensive commentary on the period . Edited by Dan Rebellato, Modern British Playwriting: 2000-2009 provides an authoritative and stimulating reassessment of the theatre of the decade, together with a detailed study of the work of David Greig (Nadine Holdsworth), Simon Stephens (Jacqueline Bolton), Tim Crouch (Dan Rebellato), Roy Williams (Michael Pearce) and Debbie Tucker Green (Lynette Goddard). The volume sets the context by providing a chronological survey of the decade, one marked by the War on Terror, the excesses of economic globalization and the digital revolution. In surveying the theatrical activity and climate, Andrew Haydon explores the response to the political events, the rise of verbatim theatre, the increasing experimentation and the effect of both the Boyden Report and changes in the Arts Council's priorities. Five scholars provide detailed examinations of the playwrights' work during the decade, combining an analysis of their plays with a study of other material such as early play drafts and the critical receptions of the time. Interviews with each playwright further illuminate this stimulating final volume in the Decades of Modern British Playwriting series. |
| rihanna gideon: Tracking Classical Monsters in Popular Culture Liz Gloyn, 2019-10-31 What is it about ancient monsters that popular culture still finds so enthralling? Why do the monsters of antiquity continue to stride across the modern world? In this book, the first in-depth study of how post-classical societies use the creatures from ancient myth, Liz Gloyn reveals the trends behind how we have used monsters since the 1950s to the present day, and considers why they have remained such a powerful presence in our shared cultural imagination. She presents a new model for interpreting the extraordinary vitality that classical monsters have shown, and their enormous adaptability in finding places to dwell in popular culture without sacrificing their connection to the ancient world. Her argument takes her readers through a comprehensive tour of monsters on film and television, from the much-loved creations of Ray Harryhausen in Clash of the Titans to the monster of the week in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, before looking in detail at the afterlives of the Medusa and the Minotaur. She develops a broad theory of the ancient monster and its life after antiquity, investigating its relation to gender, genre and space to offer a bold and novel exploration of what keeps drawing us back to these mythical beasts. From the siren to the centaur, all monster lovers will find something to enjoy in this stimulating and accessible book. |

| rihanna gideon: Die Eheprobe Melanie Gideon, 2013-08-19 »Habe ich das tatsächlich getan? Ikea-Fleischbällchen als meine eigenen ausgegeben? Und vor unseren Freunden zugegeben, dass wir nur einmal im Monat Sex haben?« Vielleicht lag es daran, dass ich die zusätzlichen Kilos nicht mehr loswurde. Oder daran, dass ich das Alter erreicht hatte, in dem meine Mutter starb. Vielleicht aber auch daran, dass mein Mann und ich uns irgendwie nichts mehr zu sagen hatten. Als die Online-Studie ›Die Ehe im 21. Jahrhundert‹ in meiner Inbox landete, ahnte ich nicht, wie sehr sie mein Leben verändern sollte. Plötzlich vertraute ich unter dem Pseudonym ›Ehefrau 22‹ irgendeinem ›Forscher 101‹ intimste Geheimnisse über meine Ehe an. Vor der Studie war ich schlicht Alice Buckle: Ehefrau, Mutter, begeisterte Facebook-Userin, bekennender Internetjunkie. Jetzt bin ich auch noch ›Ehefrau 22‹. Und mein E-Mail-Austausch mit ›Forscher 101‹ hat sich irgendwie verselbständigt. Wir sind uns ziemlich nahe gekommen. Ich muss eine Entscheidung treffen. Eine Entscheidung, die meine Familie, meine Ehe, mein ganzes Leben verändern wird. Gerade bin ich allerdings zu sehr damit beschäftigt, Fragen zu beantworten. So ein Geheimnis kann ein ziemlich gutes Aphrodisiakum sein ... |
| rihanna gideon: Esposa 22 Melanie Gideon, 2012-11-13 Alice e William Buckle se casaram apaixonados. Mas, dois filhos e quase vinte anos depois, Alice está entediada. Por isso, quando recebe um convite por e-mail para participar de uma pesquisa on-line sobre casamentos, ela aceita num impulso. Respondendo às perguntas enviadas por um pesquisador anônimo e carismático, Alice tem a oportunidade de reexaminar a história do próprio relacionamento. Protegidos pelos pseudônimos Esposa 22 e Pesquisador 101, Alice e o condutor da pesquisa iniciam uma intensa troca de mensagens que acaba tomando um rumo cada vez mais íntimo. Numa trama que se desenvolve através das respostas ao questionário, e-mails, postagens no Facebook, mensagens de texto e até mesmo por diálogos estruturados na forma de cenas de teatro (embora sua única peça tenha sido um fracasso, Alice ainda mantém a alma de dramaturga), Esposa 22 faz um retrato honesto e divertido de uma mulher divida entre seus desejos e responsabilidades e as aventuras permitidas pelo anonimato da comunicação digital. “Um livro delicioso. Melanie Gideon pega elementos comuns e familiares e os transforma em algo novo e engraçado. Seu estilo e habilidade fazem dela uma romancista promissora.” San Francisco Chronicle “Esposa 22 não é somente sobre um casamento desgastado ou sobre os dramas de uma garota solteira. Não. O livro abrange muito mais, das relações familiares no século XXI aos amigos do Facebook e ao doloroso momento em que jogamos nosso próprio nome no Google.” USA Today “Em seu esplêndido romance de estreia, Gideon traça os contornos de um casamento desgastado na era do Facebook. Com personagens bem construídos e uma história cheia de nuances, Esposa 22 é um livro é brilhante.” Publishers Weekly “Uma comédia de costumes moderna, multimídia e tão cheia de novidades quanto seu perfil favorito do Twitter.” The Washington Post “Esposa 22 é uma mistura hábil de referências da cultura pop, humor ácido e passagens comoventes. Um livro que vai assumir o seu lugar no cânone chick-lit, ao lado de romances como O Diário de Bridget Jones e Não sei como ela consegue.” Library Journal |

| rihanna gideon: Het tijdperk van de sterke man Gideon Rachman, 2022-10-14 Van Poetin, Trump en Bolsonaro tot Erdogan, Xi en Modi. Gideon Rachman schrijft een haarscherpe en eerste mondiale analyse van het nieuwe nationalisme. Vanaf het begin van het nieuwe millennium, toen Vladimir Poetin de macht overnam in Rusland, zijn autoritaire leiders langzamerhand de wereldpolitiek gaan domineren. Zelfverklaarde sterke mannen zijn aan de macht gekomen in Moskou, Peking, Delhi, Boedapest, Ankara en Washington. Het zijn nationalisten en sociaal-conservatieven, met weinig tolerantie voor afwijkende meningen, minderheden en immigranten. Tegenover hun onderdanen beweren ze op te komen voor de gewone man en in het buitenland presenteren ze zich als de belichamingen van hun naties. Inmiddels opereren ze niet alleen in autoritaire politieke systemen, maar infiltreren ze ook het hart van de liberale democratie. In ‘Het tijdperk van de sterke man’ laat Gideon Rachman op indringende wijze zien hoe en waarom deze nieuwe stijl van sterk leiderschap is ontstaan. Leidt deze vorm van leiderschap automatisch tot oorlog of economische ineenstorting? En welke krachten kunnen deze sterke mannen in toom houden? Is het tij eigenlijk nog wel te keren? |
| rihanna gideon: Welt der Autokraten Gideon Rachman, 2022-08-22 Moskau und Ankara, Peking und Brasilia, Neu-Delhi — und Washington: In all diesen Hauptstädten kamen zuletzt Autokraten an die Macht. Diese «strongmen» sind Nationalisten und gesellschaftspolitische Konservative mit Hang zum Personenkult. Für Minderheiten und Einwanderer haben sie wenig übrig. Daheim behaupten sie, an der Seite der «einfachen Leute» gegen die «globalen Eliten» zu stehen. Auf der Weltbühne nehmen sie für sich in Anspruch, die Nation zu verkörpern. Dieser Politikertyp herrscht längst nicht mehr nur über autokratische Systeme, sondern taucht selbst im Herzen liberaler Demokratien auf. Gideon Rachman spürt dem Aufstieg der Autokraten als globalem Phänomen nach. |
| rihanna gideon: A Era do Homem-Forte Gideon Rachman, 2023-03-03 Como o culto do líder ameaça as democracias em todo o mundo. Um retrato global do novo nacionalismo que alerta para a ameaça que os homens-fortes representam para a democracia liberal. Vivemos numa nova era, em que líderes nacionalistas se tornaram um elemento central da política global, surgindo não apenas em regimes políticos autoritários, mas também no coração da democracia liberal. São homens-fortes populistas e conservadores, com pouca tolerância para minorias, dissidentes e imigrantes, que incentivam o culto da personalidade e o desprezo pelo liberalismo e pelas instituições do Estado. O Brexit e a eleição de Donald Trump em 2016 constituem um marco decisivo neste novo nacionalismo, mas esta era teve início no começo do milénio, quando Vladimir Putin assumiu o poder na Rússia. Desde então, homens-fortes ascenderam ao poder em capitais tão persas como Pequim, Budapeste, Brasília e Washington. Analisando o percurso de líderes como Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Boris Johnson e Jair Bolsonaro, Gideon Rachman, jornalista do Financial Times que entrevistou muitos homensfortes, procura responder a três perguntas centrais: Quando é que a tendência do homem-forte ganhou tração? Quais são as suas principais características? E por que motivo aconteceu? Os elogios da crítica: «Gideon Rachman combina o olhar perspicaz de jornalista com uma análise contundente dos fatores que permitiram aos homens-fortes alcançar o poder e mantê-lo.» — The Times «Um livro poderoso.» — The Economist «Gideon Rachman não é o primeiro a alertar para o apelo do homem-forte, mas o que ele faz com mestria é apontar os elementos comuns do seu governo, os inimigos que partilham, o empenho que demonstram em minar obstáculos institucionais - como os tribunais independentes - e os pontos em comum da sua retórica.» — Prospect «Uma análise ampla que descreve as táticas partilhadas dos líderes autoritários.» — The New York Times «Um livro brilhante e profundamente alarmante escrito com ritmo, clareza e uma soberba fluência narrativa. Um passeio global imperdível pelo autoritarismo ressurgente.» — The Scotsman «Uma análise habilmente escrita sobre a liderança de homens-fortes em todo o mundo e a ameaça que eles representam para a democracia liberal. Baseando-se numa ampla gama de fontes e fornecendo uma perspetiva verdadeiramente global, Rachman explica os instintos, as táticas e os comportamentos comuns que ligam líderes tão diversos como Erdogan, Putin ou Xi Jinping.» — Anne Applebaum, autora vencedora do Prémio Pulitzer «Um livro essencial para compreender o atual confronto entre autocracias e democracias.» — Catherine Belton, autora de Os Homens de Putin «Quando se trata de dar sentido ao mundo de hoje, Gideon Rachman está num campeonato à parte. Incisivo e objetivo.» — Ivan Krastev, autor de O Futuro Por Contar «Oportuno, contundente e inquietante. Uma leitura obrigatória.» — Peter Frankopan, autor de As Novas Rotas da Seda «Um relato sagaz e impressionante que oferece uma perspetiva valiosa sobre uma tendência global preocupante: a ascensão da política do homem-forte.» — Publishers Weekly «Uma análise eloquente da recente proliferação de déspotas de direita. Uma leitura acessível e extremamente valiosa.» — Booklist |

Jahrhundert. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele aus unterschiedlichen europäischen Ländern, insbesondere Frankreich, Großbritannien und Österreich, werden der Umgang mit diesem komplexen Phänomen und hieraus resultierende sozio-politische Herausforderungen nachgezeichnet. LeserInnen sollen dafür sensibilisiert werden, in welchen Kontexten der Begriff Antisemitismus Verwendung findet und wie unterschiedlich der Begriff interpretiert und auch instrumentalisiert wird. Die Studie sucht nach historisch-gesellschaftspolitischen Erklärungen im Kontext nationaler und globaler Entwicklungen und verzichtet bewusst auf die Idee, Antisemitismus als unheilbaren Virus o.Ä. zu begreifen. |

| rihanna gideon: Slave Play Jeremy O. Harris, 2024-07-11 The Old South lives on at the MacGregor Plantation - in the breeze, in the cotton fields... and in the crack of the whip. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems. Jeremy O. Harris's Slave Play rips apart history to shed new light on the nexus of race, gender and sexuality in twenty-first-century America. It opened at New York Theatre Workshop in November 2018, and transferred to Broadway the following year. This edition is published alongside the West End production in 2024. 'How to explain Harris? He is like Tennessee Williams, if Williams had been Prince. Or Truman Capote, if Capote had been Paradise Garage. He is a firebrand writer with whipcrack humour. He has two brilliant plays under his belt, Slave Play and Daddy. He is such a queer hero of our times that the New York neighbourhood he lives in has become fleetingly famous. One of Jeremy O. Harris's plays coming to London is a major event' Evening Standard |

This is the book she needed when kids made fun of her Nigerian accent. This is the book that she needed when it was time to call herself a writer, but she was too scared. As a Rising Troublemaker, you need to know that the beautiful, audacious life you want is on the other side of doing the things that will scare you. This book will help you face and fight your fear and start living that life ASAP. |
