Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about how film encountered love in the course of its history. It is also a book about the philosophy of love. Since Plato, erotic love has been praised for leading the soul to knowledge. The vast tradition of poetry devoted to love has emphasized that love is a feeling. Love in Motion presents a new metaphysics and ontology of love as a reciprocal erotic relationship. The book argues that film has been particularly well suited for depicting love in this way, in virtue of its special narrative language. This is a language of expression that has developed in the course of film history. The book spans this history from early silent directors such as Joseph von Sternberg to contemporary filmmakers like Sophia Coppola. At the centre of this study is a comparison between Classical French and American love films of the forties and a series of modernist films by Luis Buñuel, François Truffaut and Wong Kar Wai.

Book excerpt: Love, an emotion that stirs us all, possesses the ability to shape our lives in profound and subtle ways. It serves as a wellspring of inspiration, igniting dreams and propelling us to explore the realms of our imagination. Yet, simultaneously, it anchors us in the intricate tapestry of our experiences, embracing the richness and complexity they offer. Through my collection of poems, "Love in Motion: Poems of Dreams and Fjord Fantasies," I extend an invitation to delve into the myriad dimensions of this universal theme, as witnessed through my eyes as an accomplished poet. Embark on a poetic voyage through the landscapes of the heart, where the interplay of luminosity and shadow, elation and sorrow, hope and despair, intertwine to form an unadorned tapestry of raw emotions. From the dizzying heights of rapture to the abyss of desolation and grief, these verses capture the quintessence of love—its multifaceted nature, its complications, and its reciprocation. Drawing from a vast palette of vivid imagery and metaphor, I encourage you to immerse yourself in the splendor of nature, the marvels of the human spirit, and the potency of the imagination. Together, we shall traverse the themes of love, passion, and yearning. Whether you find solace in the mesmerizing cadence of fjords or soar amidst the clouds, carried by the wings of your dreams, "Love in Motion" promises an expedition that is both exhilarating and deeply gratifying. Therefore, I implore you to join me on this journey, allowing my poems to transport you through the realms of the heart—a sojourn that shall linger within you long after the final page has been turned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To save a high-stakes research project, an astrophysicist must rely on a sexy computer hacker who just might crack the code to her heart. Between her demanding research and her loving Brooklyn family, astrophysicist Olivia Romano has never had time for romance. But when an unscrupulous professor starts undermining her work, she’s forced to rely on a reformed-hacker-turned-elite-computer-genius whose sexy smile she can’t get out of her head. Nick DeSantis left Brooklyn for Silicon Valley years ago—and he never looked back. But when Livie comes to him for help, he can’t resist the project or the quirky woman behind it. While staying at her family’s house makes working together easy, it also makes it hard to avoid his own family—not to mention his growing attraction to Livie. When Livie’s research is sabotaged, Nick will do whatever it takes to help her salvage her career. But moving forward means leaving Brooklyn and spreading her wings at last—just when Nick might finally be ready to put down some roots.

Book excerpt: Mind-body wellness and fitness expert combines mantra, self-reflection, and movement into an accessible 14-day routine for manifesting your best self. Holistic wellness and fitness expert Erin Stutland harnesses all the body's mental, physical, and spiritual energy in her tri-fold approach to creating change. When you move your body while repeating mantras--speaking your desires aloud--manifesting is no longer a purely intellectual exercise or an occasional craft project. Instead, you are expressing your passion through your voice and your body, putting every ounce of your energy in service of what you want. Each chapter breaks down one mantra to use to focus on a key step to achieving your best self, including unearthing your desires, releasing resistance, and taking inspired action. Alongside each mantra, Stutland provides stories from her own life and those of her clients, a meditation or visualization, a journaling exercise, and an easy movement to accompany the mantra to help enhance its resonant power. And to put it all together, you are provided with a 14-day plan so you can design the life you want, infusing the power of movement, mantra, and self-reflection.

Book excerpt: An eminent psychologist offers a major new theory of human cognition: movement, not language, is the foundation of thought When we try to think about how we think, we can't help but think of words. Indeed, some have called language the stuff of thought. But pictures are remembered far better than words, and describing faces, scenes, and events defies words. Anytime you take a shortcut or play chess or basketball or rearrange your furniture in your mind, you've done something remarkable: abstract thinking without words. In Mind in Motion, psychologist Barbara Tversky shows that spatial cognition isn't just a peripheral aspect of thought, but its very foundation, enabling us to draw meaning from our bodies and their actions in the world. Our actions in real space get turned into mental actions on thought, often spouting spontaneously from our bodies as gestures. Spatial thinking underlies creating and using maps, assembling furniture, devising football strategies, designing airports, understanding the flow of people, traffic, water, and ideas. Spatial thinking even underlies the structure and meaning of language: why we say we push ideas forward or tear them apart, why we're feeling up or have grown far apart. Like Thinking, Fast and Slow before it, Mind in Motion gives us a new way to think about how--and where--thinking takes place.

Book excerpt: "This picture book traces the impressive career of Sophie Kowalevski, the first woman to receive a doctorate in mathematics requiring original research. As a girl, Sophie is fascinated by the equations her father uses to wallpaper her room. She proves herself a prodigy, and tutors are impressed enough to give her private lessons. Despite universities that refuse to allow women on campus or to pay them to teach, Sophie is able to distinguish herself with her research into partial differential equations. Sophie receives a doctorate and becomes the first female professional mathematician in Northern Europe. The book mentions several of Kowalevski's mathematical contributions and closes with an encouraging message about women in mathematics"--

Book excerpt: Determination meets dance in this middle grade adaptation of the New York Times bestselling memoir by the first female African-American principal dancer in American Ballet Theatre history, Misty Copeland. Misty Copeland has been breaking down all kinds of barriers in the world of dance, becoming the first African-American principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre. But when she first started dancing--at the late age of thirteen--no one would have guessed the shy, underprivileged girl would one day make history in her field. Her road to excellence was not easy. A challenging home life was a stark contrast to the control and comfort she found on stage. And when her home life and incredible dance promise began to clash, Misty had to learn to stand up for herself and navigate complex relationships with her family and the dance world, while pursuing her ballet dreams. Life in Motion is a story for all the kids who dare to be different, dream bigger, and aspire to break stereotypes in whatever they do.
