He needs to figure out if he's too bad-boy for the good girl, or if her apparent dislike hides something else - like a mutual desire she's fighting to control, due to her own self-esteem issues and a refusal to be another one of Blake's conquests. ungekürzt.

The Awakening

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.'I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself.'Heralded as one of the first instances of feminist literature and rejected at its time of publication by the literary set on grounds of moral distaste, Kate Chopin's The Awakening caused consternation in 1899.Constrained and confined by the limitations surrounding marriage and motherhood in the late 1800s, Edna Pontellier begins to challenge the notion of femininity through her thoughts and actions. Questioning her love for her husband, and opening herself up to the possibilities of other men and a life outside of societal convention leads to a gradual awakening of her desires.Chopin's fascinating exploration of one woman challenging the expectation that surrounds her is powerful, daring and ultimately tragic in its conclusions.

Expansion Rebellion: Using the Law to Fight a Runway and Save the Planet

This is a story of hope in the face of widespread consternation over the global climate crisis. For many people concerned about global warming, the 2018 vote by UK parliamentarians to proceed with the plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport was a devastating blow. Aviation was predicted to make up some 25% of the UKs carbon emissions by 2050 and so the decision seemed to fly in the face of the UKs commitment to be a climate leader.Can the UK expand Heathrow airport, bringing in 700 extra planes a day, and still stay within ambitious carbon budgets? One legal case sought to answer this question. Campaigning lawyers argued that plans for a third runway at one of the worlds busiest airports would jeopardise the UKs ability to meet its commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. This book traces the dramatic story of how the case was prepared - and why international aviation has for so long avoided meaningful limits on its expansion.
