Book excerpt: Seventeen-year-old Victoria Pickersgill, the only child of an upper middle class Jamaican couple, finds her idyllic life turned upside down when her family suffers a tragic loss. That seminal moment in her life is eclipsed, however, when she discovers that her parents have been keeping a shocking secret. At first, she wants to learn more but is quickly overwhelmed by what she finds. Hiding a deep-seated shame, she decides to put it all behind her in the same tight-lipped tradition of her family. When she meets Stephen Blake, a handsome, self-confident boy, she falls devotedly in love with him. But Stephen has a secret of his own that brings their relationship to a sudden end, devastating Victoria. Surprisingly it is Jean King, the family's housekeeper, who becomes her anchor, guiding her until she leaves for college with the goal of leaving her demons behind. But the past intrudes on the present. Stephen comes back into her life six years after breaking her heart, determined to get her back. And new revelations regarding that long buried secret, forces Victoria to ask herself if it's possible to chart her future if she cannot face her past.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A coming-of-age classic about a young girl growing up in Chicago • Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world—from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. “Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book Review The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting." Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous—Cisneros’s masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street or Toni Morrison’s Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one’s story and of being proud of where you're from.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting handbook is devoted solely to the effects of environmental variables on the physiology of the world's major fruit and nut crops. Its cosmopolitan scope includes chapters on tropical and sub-tropical species written by scientists from several continents. The influence of environmental factors, such as irradiance, temperature, water and salinity on plant physiology and on vegetative and reproductive growth, is comprehensively discussed for each crop. In addition to being a thorough textbook, the organization of this volume makes it an excellent reference tool. Each chapter focuses on a single crop, or a group of genetically or horticulturally related crop, and is appropriately divided into subsections that address individual environmental factors. Some chapters emphasize whole-plant physiology and plant growth and development, while other chapters feature theoretical aspects of plant physiology. Several chapters provide botanical background discussions to enhance understanding of the crop's response to its environment.
