"Tan's collection of stories is a symphony of lust: queer desire, heartbreak, power, surrender, and a dulcet submersion into the inner ache of wanting." --Sinclair Sexsmith, author of the Sugarbutch Chronicles From the award-winning writer and erotica pioneer, Cecilia Tan, comes a collection of her queerest and most personal erotic stories, Bent for Leather. Published to coincide with her keynote speech at International Ms. Leather and Bootblack in 2023, an event that was postponed three years because of the pandemic, Bent for Leather collects stories that span nearly 30 years, many of which originally appeared in publications such as the groundbreaking lesbian erotica magazine, On Our Backs, or the recent Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year (Vol 7) anthology. Coming from the pen of a kinky bisexual writer, these stories feature many characters who are butches, androgynes, or bois, and whose labels--or their lovers--may be nonbinary, or transmasculine, or bigender. All are sizzlingly erotic, exploring the deepest desires of the characters, what it takes to satisfy them, and just what makes them Bent for Leather. "I jumped into the world of BDSM role play in my twenties, and I quickly found that I could be a girl, boy, maid, slave, or puppy and that none of these roles actually depended on my gender or physical body. All they depended on was the story that my play partners and I were creating together. So I guess it's no surprise that these reflections of my inner self have come out in my erotic stories. My brain has always been my biggest sex organ, and storytelling and fantasy have always been my biggest kinks." --From the Introduction by Cecilia Tan
In 2067, the world is recovering from a devastating pandemic that killed millions of people and nearly wiped out civilization. The remaining survivors are struggling to rebuild their lives in a world that has been forever changed. Dr. Emma Lee, a virologist, is one of the few people who have immunity to the virus that caused the pandemic. She is recruited by the World Health Organization (WHO) to lead a team to investigate a new outbreak of a deadly virus in a remote research facility in Durango, a small town in the Western United States. As Emma and her team travel to Durango, they realize that the virus is unlike anything they've seen before. It spreads rapidly and kills within days, and it seems to be evolving at an alarming rate. The team struggles to contain the virus and find a cure, while also dealing with the threat of sabotage from a mysterious group that seems to be working against them. As the outbreak spreads beyond the research facility, the team realizes that they are facing a new pandemic that could be even more deadly than the previous one. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Emma must race against time to stop the virus from spreading and find a cure before it's too late. When they uncover more about the virus, they realize that it was deliberately created and released by a group of extremists, called the Bright Dawn Movement, who believe that humanity is a threat to the planet. The extremists are determined to use the virus to wipe out most of humanity and start anew, and Emma and her team must stop them before it's too late.

Life is simple, we complicate it with our own minds. We are always complete; it is just a perception that we are not. Only we know our struggles, challenges, and obstacles. It's our Life, our Success, our Rules, and our Freedom. Raj realised that only he knew his life, his professional and personal struggles. He knew he didn't need to prove anything to anyone. He defined his life, a complete Elephant, fully aware of the partial perspectives of the world around him.
This is the first book to comprehensively cover WW1 fighter aircraft focusing on their relative flight performance utilizing modern computer simulations and if you want to get a better understanding of how they compared to each other, then this is the book for you. Based on the simulation results, a number of myths surrounding the modeled aircraft can be put to rest and in addition, they reveal some unexpected results that go against the grain of what has become generally accepted facts about these airplanes. While anecdotal evidence runs the risk of misremembering and embellishments, hard numbers based on computer simulations are more neutral and allow a more complete picture of these aircraft to emerge revealing their true strengths and weaknesses. Another first is the detailed analysis of how the aircraft compare in terms of acceleration, dive, and sustained and instantaneous turn performance done to a level previously not attempted in a book. The aircraft covered in this book are the Albatros D.Va, Fokker Dr.I, Fokker D.VIIF, Fokker E.V, Fokker D.VIII, Nieuport 28.C1, Pfalz D.III, Pfalz D.IIIa, Pfalz D.VIII, Siemens Schukert D.IV, Sopwith Camel, Sopwith Triplane, S.E.5a and SPAD XIII. As a background to the analysis of the results and the rationale for how the aircraft were modeled, the book also contains a brief summary of the state of the art in aerodynamics and aircraft design at the time.

Qual é o verdadeiro significado etimológico dos vários símbolos para a ideia do "bom" que foram cunhados nas várias línguas (no sentido social), (...) é necessariamente "bom" - um desenvolvimento que invariavelmente corre em paralelo com aquela outra evolução pela qual "vulgar", "plebeu", "baixo", são feitos para se transformarem em "mau".
Na obra, Eduardo Frieiro analisa desde aspectos gráficos como a impressão até assuntos como os grandes leitores (bibliófilos, bibliômanos e bibliopiratas); o gosto da leitura utilizada como crescimento humano; os clássicos; o que é a vida intelectual; os inimigos dos livros, as pragas, os cuidados e os remédios para prolongar a vida dos livros, e conselhos úteis para manutenção da uma biblioteca; livros para poucos e livros para muitos; livros curiosos, ridículos, extravagantes e singulares; e muito mais. No capítulo "A patologia dos livros", o autor escreve: "A umidade e a fauna devoradora dos livros exigem atenções e trabalhos constantes. A limpeza e vigilância são os únicos remédios ao nosso alcance. Mas, afinal, por que havemos de deter a obra da vida, que se alimenta de cadáveres? Sem dúvida porque não podemos conceber a destruição total de nós próprios nem a de tudo aquilo que amamos e se incorpora ao nosso destino". Certamente esta obra de Frieiro é um livro para os amantes do livro.

Nascido em 1040 em Nichapur, na Pérsia, mesma cidade em que morreu em 1120, o poeta Omar Ibn Ibrahim El Khayym foi, também, astrônomo e matemático. Rubaiyát, plural da palavra rubai, significa quadras, ou quartetos, nos quais o primeiro, o segundo e o quarto versos são rimados e o terceiro é branco. Muita gente, no Brasil e no mundo, traduziu esses versos de Khayym, mas a Edição põe nas livrarias é resultado de um longo, dedicado e minucioso trabalho do tradutor João Baptista de Mello e Souza (1888-1969), que finalizou sua árdua tarefa em 1959 mas não pôde vê-la publicada.
Otelo, o Mouro de Veneza é uma das mais comoventes tragédias shakespearianas. Por tratar de temas universais - como ciúme, traição, amor, inveja e racismo -, ela pode ser ponto de partida para diversas reflexões e interpretações.A peça estreou em 1604 e levou para os palcos um casamento inter-racial - assunto polêmico para a época! Na trama, Otelo é um general mouro a serviço do reino de Veneza, casado com Desdêmona, moça de pele clara e filha de um rico senador. Eles se uniram às escondidas e o genro só é aceito pelo sogro porque o casamento já está consumado.
Rabelais soube, como poucos, observar e transpor para os livros a cultura e a forma de se expressar do povo. Seus livros são muito importantes e Gargântua e Pantagruel, à época, despertou a fúria da igreja. A epopeia de Pantagruel e seu pai Gargantua, gigantes de apetites imensos, critica a estagnação medieval, atacando a igreja, a cavalaria e a política. Também foi considerada obscurantista e indecorosa por exprimir os instintos mais básicos dos indivíduos. Rabelais revolucionou a estética literária. Muitos especialistas, hoje, o colocam ao lado de Shakespeare e Cervantes.

When I graduated from the Omega Academy, I had options. Sure, as a Class-B Fertile, I'd never get top dollar from our local alpha packs, but I was the next best option after all the Class-A omegas were claimed. Until someone else let Dad name his price. As an omega, I always expected to be bought and sold-but not like this. Not to a shifter breeding facility. The men in charge want to save the tigers. With their wilder halves almost extinct, tiger shifters aren't far behind, and the fate of their species is in my hands. Apparently. It's absurd. It's insulting. But it's my new reality. A reality I suffer with two unbonded alpha tiger shifters who hate sharing territory-but who hate being treated like animals even more. While Luther is suspicious of me from the start, Oryn quickly takes me under his wing and shares the key to our survival. No touching. No mating. No knotting. Abstinence is resistance. It's worked for them before, but I'm the first omega ever forced into heat and thrown to the beasts. After years of refusing to breed with anyone, I'm the perfumed pawn sent to break these two kings. So, we fight. We resist. But our captors have all the power, and no matter how hard we ignore the call, it's only a matter of time before instinct takes over... And we surrender to the roles we were born to play. Sacrifice is a dark shifter omegaverse romance set in the Extinction Omegaverse world. Here, you'll find such tropes as Hurt/Comfort, Found Family, Us against the World, and Forced Proximity. This is an MFM romance, which means two heroes, one heroine, no love triangle. Please Note: The overall series is not "dark", but Sacrifice has themes and scenarios leveled against the MCs that may be triggering to some readers.
