A comprehensive collection by one of the most intensely musical and visionary poets writing today.

Ada has found her Prince Charming with Huxley but... She misses what she had with Noah. She feels incomplete and knows deep in her heart she is in love with him. She is just confused and so new to all of this that she is just as clueless as he is. When Lexi and Ada go on a special trip, one that was just for them and their mates, they find Saint and Noah have followed them. Things get awkward, but it gives Ada time to think about what she really wants and if she can ever forgive Saint. Summer, College and boys... and the question on everyone's mind. Who is Zayn?

This book explores the ways in which the spatio-temporal contingency of human life is being conceived in different fields of research. Specifically, it looks at the relationship between the situatedness of human life, the situation or place in which human life is supposed to be situated, and the dimensions of space and time in which both situation and place are usually themselves supposed to be situated. Over the last two or three decades, the spatio-temporal contingency of human life has become an important topic of research in a broad range of different disciplines including the social sciences, the cultural sciences, the cognitive sciences, and philosophy. However, this research topic is referred to in quite different ways: while some researchers refer to it in terms of “situation”, emphasizing the “situatedness” of human experience and action, others refer to it in terms of “place”, emphasizing the “power of place” and advocating a “topological” or “topographical turn” in the context of a larger “spatial turn”. Interdisciplinary exchange is so far hampered by the fact that the notions referred to and the relationships between them are usually not sufficiently questioned. This book addresses these issues by bringing together contributions on the spatio-temporal contingency of human life from different fields of research.
