‘My Skin’ is based on the feelings of the youth in the world today. There are many people who are not comfortable in their own skin with much of it starting from a young age. The feeling of not being accepted for who you are is often noted online, in the television shows we watch, in commercials, and just being out there doing our day-to-day activities. Loving who you are as a person is very big because how you feel often is the outcome of how you deal with society. My book displays the love of oneself. It is an easy read for the youngsters, but anyone can read and enjoy the beautiful words, the positive message and the beautiful colors that go along with it. In reading this book, I hope that one will gain respect for themselves, as well as others, to be comfortable in the skin they're in and have the confidence to believe in themselves in order to do what they inspire themselves to do. I want my young readers to know that they hold the power to be great.

"Farhadian provides the first major study of a highland Papuan group in an urban context, which distinguishes it from the typical highland Melanesian ethnography. Incorporating cultural and structural approaches, the book affords a fascinating look into the complex relationship among Christianity, Islam, nation making, and indigenous traditions. Based on research over many years, Christianity, Islam, and Nationalism in Indonesia offers an abundance of new material on religious and political events in West Papua. The book underlines the heart of Christian-Muslim rivalries, illuminating the fate of religion in late-modern times."--BOOK JACKET.

James Baker Hall's blackly comic coming-of-age novel has been denied, by unfortunate circumstances surrounding its original 1964 publication, its rightful place alongside classics such as Catcher in the Rye and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in the canon of essential late-twentieth-century American fiction. Set in Lexington, Kentucky, the story unfolds through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Yates Paul. He becomes consumed with revelations about his inattentive father's loneliness, his grandmother's stormy relationship with his boisterous alcoholic uncle, and the frustration of being the best photography assistant in town when no one else knows it. In pursuing his career and falling in love with women twice his age, the precocious Yates falls back on Walter Mittyesque daydreams to cope with a frequently humorous, sometimes dark, world. Long respected among literary insiders, sought after but nearly impossible to obtain, this "lost" classic will finally reach the wider audience it deserves.
