In our society it is forbidden to "love". It was some kind of unnecessary feeling that humans felt towards someone they really "liked". They got into "relationships" and sometimes even "married" each other. Our schools teach us why "love" is unnecessary and doesn't contribute to a fulfilling life. We live to make a carrier. To be successful. And to do that, you should not rely on anyone, but focus on yourself to optimize your future. Now all of us have a meaning in life, a path we want to follow, not caring about these irrelevant emotions that keep us from growing, from becoming the best version of ourselves.

She takes the readers on an emotional rollercoaster as she grapples with her identity, self-acceptance, and the desire to find her true self.

Unhappy with societal expectations and her own body, Alex finds solace in an unexpected gift - a pair of lace-up boots, which somehow feel like a symbol of support. Through her introspective narration, Alex begins to explore her gender identity and finds a connection with a popular online personality named Victor, who had undergone his own transformation.

How does it feel to wake up in a scene of a World War II movie? How did people, who were attacked by their neighbour country react and what did they do in face of death and danger? Why is Ukraine a country of leaders? Answers to these questions could be found in stories of Ukrainian volunteers, who prove that people are stronger than circumstances. The author describes her escape from homeland, her way to volunteering, and shares the stories of fellow Ukrainians, who chose not to give up or stay indifferent, despite their age, status or profession. These are the stories of personal responsibility and true leadership, combined with devotion and cooperation, few from many. "I have your back", says every act of a volunteer, but what if it could become a new way of living for our global community, humanity as a whole. Would it be a really nice place to raise our children and grandchildren, indeed?

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.

This important book brings together some of the best known international scholars working within a critical gerontology perspective. Together, they review and update our understanding of how the field has developed over the last twenty-five years and, through the lens of 'passionate scholarship', provide a challenging assessment of the complex practical and ethical issues facing older people, and those who conduct research on ageing, in the 21st century. The contributions extend the critical gerontological approach conceptually, methodologically and practically. They offer close and scholarly analysis of policies affecting the lives of older people and provide insights into why research is done in particular ways. Special attention is paid to feminist contributions and new approaches to working in partnership with older people; age discrimination and ageism; the impact of neo-liberal policies and the passage of various human rights instruments; the re-medicalisation of later life; the participation of older people in research; and justice between generations. The editors and contributors offer suggestions for promoting change, and an exciting set of visions and perspectives for the renewal and development of critical gerontology in the years ahead. Critical Perspectives on Ageing Societies will be a valuable resource for all students, academics and practitioners interested in ageing and the life course.
