The Return of Ellie Black

The Return of Ellie Black

SIMON SCHUSTER

nidottu
A USA TODAY Bestseller An NPR Best Book of 2024 A Goodreads Best Thriller of 2024 In this "page-turning suspense novel, shrewd character study, and captivating mystery" (Stephen King) Detective Chelsey Calhoun's life is turned upside down when she gets the call that Ellie Black, a girl who disappeared years earlier, has resurfaced in the woods of Washington state--but her reappearance leaves Chelsey with more questions than answers. It's been twenty years since Detective Chelsey Calhoun's sister vanished when they were teenagers, and ever since she's been searching: for signs, for closure, for other missing girls. But happy endings are rare in Chelsey's line of work. Then a glimmer: local teenager Ellie Black, who disappeared without a trace two years earlier, has been found alive in the woods of Washington state. But something is not right with Ellie. She won't say where she's been, or who she's protecting, and it's up to Chelsey to find the answers. She needs to get to the bottom of what happened to Ellie: for herself, and for the memory of her sister, but mostly for the next girl who could be taken--and who, unlike Ellie, might never return. The "haunting and evocative" debut thriller from New York Times bestselling author Emiko Jean, The Return of Ellie Black is both a feminist tour de force about the embers of hope that burn in the aftermath of tragedy and a "gripping psychological thriller" (The Seattle Times) that will shock you right up until the final page.

ET ENKELT OPKALD FORANDRER ALT I en alder af 35 år har Mika Suzuki ikke styr på ret meget i sit kaotiske liv. Hendes seneste forhold er endt katastrofalt. Hun er en evig skuffelse for sine meget traditionsbundne japanske forældre. Og hun er igen blevet fyret fra endnu et håbløst job. Hendes tilværelse er på et absolut lavpunkt, da hun modtager et telefonopkald fra Penny – den datter, hun bortadopterede 16 år tidligere. Penny vil gerne have et forhold til sin biologiske mor, efter at hun har mistet sin adoptivmor. I sin iver efter at imponere sin datter kommer Mika til at pynte lidt rigeligt på sandheden om sit liv. Det, der begynder som en lille hvid løgn ender med, at Mika pludselig har tegnet et billede af sig selv som moden, ansvarsbevidst og succesfuld i både karriere og kærlighed. Kan Mika endelig få den familie, hun har drømt om, eller vil løgnene i sidste ende indhente hende? Og hvem er egentlig den rigtige Mika? En chance mere er en charmerende og hjertevarm fortælling om at finde sig selv – i livet, i moderskabet og i kærligheden. Pressen skriver: “For læsere af romantiske romaner med forviklinger vil den være et hit” – Lektørudtalelse “Klar kandidat til Bedste bog 2022.” – Glamour “En smuk fortælling om kærlighed, tillid og tilgivelse.” – Good Housekeeping ”En chance mere er en rørende blanding af humor og hjerte. ” – Bust Magazine ”En hjertevarm fortælling om båndet mellem mødre og døtre.” – BookBub “Karaktererne er genkendelige og kærligheden realistisk.

Kamikaze Diaries

Kamikaze Diaries

Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney

University of Chicago Press

sidottu
We tried to live with 120 percent intensity, rather than waiting for death. We read and read, trying to understand why we had to die in our early twenties. We felt the clock ticking away towards our death, every sound of the clock shortening our lives." So wrote Irokawa Daikichi, one of the many kamikaze pilots, or tokkotai, who faced almost certain death in the futile military operations conducted by Japan at the end of World War II. This moving history presents diaries and correspondence left by members of the tokkotai and other Japanese student soldiers who perished during the war. Outside of Japan, these kamikaze pilots were considered unbridled fanatics who willingly sacrificed their lives for the emperor. But the writings explored here by Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney clearly and eloquently speak otherwise. A significant number of the kamikaze were university students who were drafted and forced to volunteer, and in their diaries and correspondence they often wrote heartbreaking soliloquies in which they poured out their anguish and fear and expressed profound ambivalence toward the war as well as opposition to their nation's imperialism. A salutary correction to the many caricatures of the kamikaze, this poignant work will be essential to anyone interested in the history of Japan and World War II.

Harnessing Value in the Supply Chain

Harnessing Value in the Supply Chain

Emiko Banfield

John Wiley Sons Inc
1999
sidottu
A definitive roadmap for implementing effective supply chain management Strategic sourcing redefines the traditional approach to buying and using materials and services. Purchasing and supplier programs are receiving substantial attention in current professional literature, but there is little information on implementing supplier strategies and techniques. Harnessing Value in the Supply Chain offers a specific, step-by-step approach to the strategic sourcing process, developed by the author at Southern California Edison. This unique reference provides expert guidance on designing, launching, executing, evaluating, and maintaining a sourcing project. It includes illustrations, examples, and templates for immediate use. Finally, supply chain management and strategic sourcing are presented in a usable, comprehensive, and cost-effective framework. To illustrate this approach, the book describes the experience of Southern California Edison, a utility company that achieved $150 million in annual cost reduction through a strategic sourcing program. The story is told from the perspective of the people who led the revolutionary change at SCE, as wellas the suppliers. A detailed method on how to duplicate SCE's success is included in the book. This book is unique in that it fully traces a strategic sourcing initiative from conception to implementation-and it is the only book that documents the SCE story. Harnessing Value in the Supply Chain is a powerful tool that will help organizations optimize their resources and develop relationships to sustain effective supply chain management.

Illness and Culture in Contemporary Japan

Illness and Culture in Contemporary Japan

Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney

Cambridge University Press
1984
pokkari
Health care in contemporary Japan - a modern industrial state with high technology, but a distinctly non-Western cultural tradition - operates on several different levels. In this book Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney provides a detailed and historically informed account of the cultural practices and cultural meaning of health care in urban Japan. In contrast to most ethnomedical studies, this book pays careful attention to everyday hygienic practices and beliefs, as well as presenting a comprehensive picture of formalized medicine, health care aspects of Japanese religions, and biomedicine. These different systems compete with one another at some levels, but are complementary in providing health care to urban Japanese, who often use more than one system simultaneously. As an unequalled portrayal of health care in a modern industrial, but non-Western, setting, it will be of widespread interest to scholars and students of anthropology, medicine, and East Asian studies.

Rice as Self

Rice as Self

Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney

Princeton University Press
1994
pokkari
Are we what we eat? What does food reveal about how we live and how we think of ourselves in relation to others? Why do people have a strong attachment to their own cuisine and an aversion to the foodways of others? In this engaging account of the crucial significance rice has for the Japanese, Rice as Self examines how people use the metaphor of a principal food in conceptualizing themselves in relation to other peoples. Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney traces the changing contours that the Japanese notion of the self has taken as different historical Others--whether Chinese or Westerner--have emerged, and shows how rice and rice paddies have served as the vehicle for this deliberation. Using Japan as an example, she proposes a new cross-cultural model for the interpretation of the self and other.

The Monkey as Mirror

The Monkey as Mirror

Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney

Princeton University Press
1989
pokkari
This tripartite study of the monkey metaphor, the monkey performance, and the 'special status' people traces changes in Japanese culture from the eighth century to the present. During early periods of Japanese history the monkey's nearness to the human-animal boundary made it a revered mediator or an animal deity closest to humans. Later it became a scapegoat mocked for its vain efforts to behave in a human fashion. Modern Japanese have begun to see a new meaning in the monkey--a clown who turns itself into an object of laughter while challenging the basic assumptions of Japanese culture and society.
