      This book was written to help you understand that there is hope after a marriage or relationship breaks down. You feel at the end of your world. You cant function properly and day to day living seems pointless. These are some of the emotions that we go through when a loved one leaves us without much warning. It really hurts. I looked everywhere for help or advice but couldn't find anything to help me. So I decided to put down in writing what happened to me so that you can see that your not on your own and that eventually you will be ok. It takes a long time for some and not so long for others, but don't worry you will be ok. I have tried to start where all of our emotions for the fairer sex began in the playground!! This look at relationships helps your understand that love is a precious thing but also difficult to hold on to. It has a funny side and a sad side. Hopefully my tale will help you understand that slowly you can get back to normality where ever that is.

    • Television can be a storehouse of treasures, and one of its best kept secrets was a show called Charmed. Despite being scheduled at all hours, the series steadily built up a dedicated and vocal audience who became hooked by its beguiling and seductive power, attractive visuals and gentle wit. Charmed is the story of the four Halliwell sisters, Prue (Shannon Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) and Paige (Rose McGowan). Together they are the Charmed Ones and they are sworn to protect the innocent. In Triquetra, best-selling author Keith Topping explores every episode, revealing the triumphs, the goofs, the guest stars, the intake of nicotine and alcohol, and generally gets under the skin of the Halliwell sisters and their lives, loves and spellbinding adventures.

      How have we come to depend so greatly on the words terror and terrorism to describe broad categories of violence? David Simpson offers here a philology of terror, tracking the concept’s long, complicated history across literature, philosophy, political science, and theology—from Plato to NATO. Introducing the concept of the “fear-terror cluster,” Simpson is able to capture the wide range of terms that we have used to express extreme emotional states over the centuries—from anxiety, awe, and concern to dread, fear, and horror. He shows that the choices we make among such words to describe shades of feeling have seriously shaped the attribution of motives, causes, and effects of the word “terror” today, particularly when violence is deployed by or against the state. At a time when terror-talk is widely and damagingly exploited by politicians and the media, this book unpacks the slippery rhetoric of terror and will prove a vital resource across humanistic and social sciences disciplines.
