Famed Female Authors: The Attraction Of BooksAuthor: pmcindoe | Category: Arts & EntertainmentPublished: November 9 Clay Matthews Womens Jersey , 2008As a consequence of the internet, many people had mistakenly believed that the traditional book market in the UK would suffer. However this hasn鈥檛 been the case and in 2007 the UK consumer book market alone was worth ?2,578 million, up 4% on the 2006 figures. Books have been around for many years, but what is it about books that continually attract readers Aaron Rodgers Womens Jersey , despite an ever-growing digital presence?One of the great things about books is undoubtedly their portability. They can fit easily into your bag or carried by hand and can be a welcome break from the computer orientated world that surrounds us today. With newspapers, magazines, journals and more printed matter now being made available online it can be great to have something tangible you can hold onto and engage with.To this day, a well-written fictional novel definitely still plays a major role in British life today. A mundane commute to work on a cold winter鈥檚 morning can be transformed into a memorable paradise full of adventure and romance just by reading the words in a beautifully crafted story, and can also help to make the journey seemingly pass that little bit quicker. Take a look around you on the bus or train and there’s a good chance at least one passenger will be reading a book.Reading a book on holiday can help you to relax and let your mind escape to somewhere new; whether your taste is historical Marquez Valdes-Scantling Womens Jersey , modern or contemporary, there are some incredible books that have been written by British authors over the years that are worth reading again and again.When it comes to literary talent, female British writers – like their male counterparts – have produced many a best-seller; from current authors, such as ‘Harry Potter’ creator JK Rowling to murder-mystery author Ruth Rendell; while further back in time the Bronte Sisters, Agatha Christie and Catherine Cookson are known to most.Jane Austen J'Mon Moore Womens Jersey , one of Britain’s greatest female writers, was born in the 18th century and had six novels published in the early 19th Century, two of which were published posthumously. The legacy of her most famous works, namely Emma, Sense and Sensibility Oren Burks Womens Jersey , Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park still lives on today through the adaptation of these for the big and small screens. 19th Century romance is still alive and well in 21st Century Britain thanks to Austen鈥檚 unique works.Sue Townsend鈥檚 imaginative portrayals of a pubescent male in the Adrian Mole diaries series were an incredibly accurate, highly amusing and at times painful journey through the eyes of a British boy as he turned into a man. Adrian Mole was so popular he also made it onto the small screen and helped bring the books to a whole new audience and received critical acclaim. This tradition of great female authors in this country has been proudly carried forward into the new millennium by the multi-award winning Zadie Smith, with her first novel 鈥淲hite Teeth鈥?winning the 2000 Whitbread Book Award for best first novel and the Guardian first book award amongst others, as well as selling over a million copies putting it right up there with Britain鈥檚 favourite books.

ROME JK Scott Womens Jersey , June 13 (Xinhua) -- Positive news continues to trickle in for Italy's economy, but investors and economists say that it is still too early to say the economy has finally emerged from its long economic malaise.

The most encouraging figures are related to growth in Italy's gross domestic product. The latest growth figures show Italy's economy grew 0.3 percent in the first quarter of the year -- that would be a low growth figure for most countries but it cancels out a 0.3 percent contraction in the last three months of last year, and it represents the first time the economy showed positive economic growth for a full quarter since the third quarter of 2013.

Additionally, the International Monetary Fund, which is usually pessimistic about Italian growth prospects Josh Jackson Womens Jersey , upped its forecast for full-year growth to 0.7 percent, compared to 0.5 percent previously. If that indeed happens it will be the first time Italy recorded positive economic growth for a full year since 2011.

There are other positive signs as well: business confidence reached a seven-year high in March, the latest figures available, and consumer spending is inching higher.

But one thing is missing, according to observers Jaire Alexander Womens Jersey , new investments.

"The fact that businesses are slow to hire new workers and invest in new infrastructure or research is what makes me pause," Javier Noriega, chief economist with investment bankers Hildebrandt and Ferrar, told Xinhua. "Businesses know their corner of the market better than any analyst and if they are cautious, it makes me cautious."

Giandomenico Piluso Authentic Bart Starr Jersey , an economics and statistics expert with Italy's University of Siena, agreed.

"This is a 'dirty' recovery in the sense that it's not always possible understand the impacts of what happens," Piluso said in an interview. "My best guess is that what we have seen lately is positive news. But I would still want to see more."

At least one major factor help spark growth in Italy is an external factor: the weak euro. As the currency loses value against the U.S. dollar and other world currencies it makes it easier for consumers in those countries to buy Italian goods and cheaper for them to plan a vacation in Italy. It also makes it cheaper for the Italian government to pay its debt, a major factor in Italy where the national debt is equal to more than 130 percent of the country's gross domestic product.

But Piluso said an equally large factor is within Italy's. Cheap Jerseys   Cheap Jerseys China   Cheap Authentic Jerseys   Cheap Jerseys   Cheap Jerseys   Cheap NFL Jerseys Online   Cheap NFL Jerseys China   Cheap Soccer Jerseys   Cheap Custom NHL Jerseys   Wholesale Basketball Jerseys
