Highschool Romance Novels_ An Enemies To Lovers Romance
Highschool romance books is so much more than a love story. It's packed with important life lessons. It's real, raw and moving because it reminds us all that even when the world seems to be throwing one bad thing after another at us, there's always someone out there going through a rough patch too and looking for the light. Relentless in its rawness letting you see every ugly part we possess as humans...the scars, the insecurities, the depravity, but there is also so much kindness and vulnerability and love Penn They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I'd had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart was completely iced. I took her first kiss. She took the only thing I loved./p\u003e I was poor. She was rich. The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast. Now, I'm her parents' latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much. Yeah, baby girl, say it-I'm your foster brother. There's a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she's about to shell out some serious tears. Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I'm about to prove to her that she's nothing but a spoiled princess. Daria Everyone loves a good old unapologetic punk. But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries' way. The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you. In Penn Scully's case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day. Four years ago, he asked me to save all my firsts for him. Now he lives across the hall, and I want nothing more than to be his last everything. His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free. Now? Now he is making me pay.

Early Voyages and Travels to Russia and Persia
The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. The name of Anthony Jenkinson (1529-1610/11), the Elizabethan traveller and diplomat, is perhaps better known in Russia than in Britain. As agent for the Muscovy Company, he made four journeys to Russia to negotiate trade terms with Tsar Ivan IV ('Ivan the Terrible'), and travelled as far as Persia and the Caspian Sea. This two-volume work, published in 1886, contains an account of Jenkinson's journeys, and transcriptions of documents from the State Papers. The Victorian editors provided an introductory essay and explanatory notes.

Psychiatric Nursing: Biological & Behavioral Concepts
"Psychiatric Nursing is a unique tool for understanding mental health-mental illness and assisting the nurse in providing meaningful care to the client with a psychiatric disorder. The text lays a foundation with coverage of adaptation and human responses across the lifespan, with an extensive discussion of how stressors impact the mental health-mental illness continuum. In addition, it integrates neurobiological, psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual concepts and principles that give rise to various disorders. The text's lifespan approach is consistent with the concept of mental illness as a developing process, and the style emphasizes holistic nursing care. Therapeutic interventions and modalities are discussed in the context of variegated treatment options -such as family, group, psychopharmacological, and complementary therapies. The role of the nurse in diverse clinical settings is also explored, including hospital-based; medical-surgical; home health; and community.
