Advancements in modern medicine are giving us the ability to live longer and longer. ![]() ![]() He never wants to see Adam ever again, so he escapes to his grandmother’s Californian beach house to nurse his heartbreak and prepare for the baking show he’s been accepted to.

Peter Rutland, Wesleyan University Copyright American Library Association, used with permission. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. The book may be too episodic to assign to undergraduates lacking background knowledge of the Ukrainian case. Instead, Shore provides historical and philosophical depth. Shore was living in Vienna during the events described, visiting Kyiv for just a couple of weeks, so the book does not represent firsthand reporting. It was Ukraine's third revolution in as many decades, and the allure of romantic nationalism is wearing thin. Unlike the revolutions that toppled communism in central Europe in 1989, the Ukrainian story does not have a happy ending. Most of the other books on this topic focus on the international dimension, but Shore reports impressions of the events of those who were involved, based on some 30 interviews. Shore (Yale) offers a vivid depiction of the excitement of being caught up in a popular revolution-the protests on Kyiv's Maidan Square in the winter of 2013-14, that brought down the government and triggered a war with Russia. ![]() ![]() ![]() As much as he wonders if there's still a chance with the former love of his life, he is determined not to repeat the past, and focus on the new life he's trying to make.
