Catching Jordan
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kenneally, Miranda, PUBLISHER: Sourcebooks Fire, "Whoever said football and girls don't mix hasn't read Catching Jordan. I couldn't put it down " -- Simone Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of the Perfect Chemistry series ONE OF THE BOYS What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though- she leads them as the captain and quarterback of her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university. But everything she's ever worked for is threatened when Ty Greeen moves to her school. Not only is he an amazing QB, but he's also amazingly hot. And for the first time, Jordan's feeling vulnerable. Can she keep her head in the game while her heart's on the line? "A beautiful novel with a real and captivating depiction of high school relationships, Catching Jordan shows the same reverence for the human heart that it does for the game of football." --Karsten Knight, author of Wildefire

She started working on a masteras degree at Adelphi University while working at St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie, New York. She discontinued working on her degree to have a child who has become the inspiration and birth of much of her writing. She always had an interest in poetry, childrenas literature and writing. Most of her writing comes from her experiences or someone elseas, simple everyday occurrences, something said that stays with her, or a feeling about something. She can have two poems about the same situationaone often containing the good of a situation and one containing the dark side of the situation. When this happens, she doesnat realize it until she has read through her poems. She rarely has experienced writeras block because when she thinks of something, she writes it down immediately, wherever she is. She was once at a restaurant and went to the ladies room to write something down, and a woman came in and asked if she was in the right place because she saw her sitting in a chair writing. That is how it goes for hera]
Things Stoned People Say
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carter, Morton, PUBLISHER: Skyhorse Publishing, Chances are you don't remember what you said when you were high, which is a shame, because it was probably incredibly deep and enlightening (or possibly dumb and incriminating, but we'll give you the benefit of the doubt). Fortunately, the guy sitting in the corner was scribbling your brilliant words on napkins and texting them to Magnolia Johnson for posterity: "You have friends in high places. I just have high friends." "Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?" "Make me unweird." "Violence is never the answer, man. Unless the question is 'what is never the answer?'" "You know what would make a great book, man? The history of tits." "There's no fake monkey teeth. I looked that up, too." "No matter how long you live, you're dead a lot longer." In the spirit of Things Drunk People Say, the stumbling, intriguing, nonsensical but hilarious words are enhanced with creative, original art and published for the world to see (don't worry, the quotes are listed anonymously). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why the hell you're ever sober when you're clearly much more interesting when you're stoned. Why didn't anyone think of this before?

Heart of the Dove
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fobes, Tracy, PUBLISHER: Pocket Books, Brilliant new talent Tracy Fobes' first book, "Touch Not the Cat," received overwhelming critical acclaim. "Ms. Fobes' debut is a stunning novel...clever, evocative, and magical," said "Romantic Times." Her new book is as bewitching, a mesmerizing tale of magic -- and a love foretold centuries before.... Lucinda Drakewyck, one of a long line of Drakewyck witches, has foreseen her own death. Desperate for answers, she calls upon the magic in her cherished crystal dove, hoping for visions of the warrior whose love would first save her then destroy them both. When wounded Crimean cavalry officer Richard Clairmont walks into her secret forest glen, Lucinda recognizes him as her promised hero. Destiny has determined that only he can rescue her from a ghastly fate, and yet Lucinda fights the attraction between them, knowing if they love, both their lives are forfeit. Richard Clairmont doesn't believe in love, magic, or even himself. A captain in Her Majesty's Eleventh Hussars, he charged into the mouth of Hell and returned scarred forever. But from the moment he meets Lucinda Drakewyck, sunshine enters his life, throwing light on the shadows in his heart and making him question the possibility of magic. Together, they must stand against a malevolent presence and test the true power of their love.

Kingdom Beyond the Waves
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hunt, Stephen, PUBLISHER: Harper Voyager, Professor Amelia Harsh is obsessed with finding the lost civilization of Camlantis, a legendary city from pre-history that is said to have conquered hunger, war, and disease with the creation of the perfect pacifist society. Without official funding, Amelia is forced to accept an offer of patronage from Abraham Quest, the man she blames for her father's bankruptcy and suicide. She hates him, but he has something that Amelia desperately wants--evidence that proves that Camlantis existed and that the Camlantean ruins are buried under one of the sea-like lakes that dot the murderous jungles of Liongeli. Amelia will blackmail her old friend Commodore Black into ferrying her along a huge river on his ancient U-boat. With an untrusty crew of freed convicts, Quest's force of fearsome female mercenaries on board, and a lunatic steamman acting as their guide, Amelia's luck seems to be going from bad to worse. Her quest for the perfect society has a good chance of bringing her own world to the brink of destruction... "The Kingdom Beyond The Waves" is Stephen Hunt's third novel, set in the same universe as "The Court of the Air." Amelia Harsh is a female Indiana Jones if there ever was one, and this novel is a rollicking steampunk adventure that will hook readers for one dynamite ride.

As a matter of fact, he's there with us as we endure the trials and tribulations of life. As Paul so eloquently said in Romans 8: 39 nothing can separate us from the love of God. I'm sure that anyone reading this book can relate to one if not all of the characters that are mentioned. Sistas of Faith is a dynamic read because it touches on real life issues that both men and women face. It is also very inspiring in that it shows the reader that nothing is too hard for God.

We Will Always Be Together
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Seiders-Metz, Margret, PUBLISHER: iUniverse, We promised each other that we would always be together no matter what, as we snuggled close to one another and kissed. He smelled so good that he was turning me on but that had to wait, I had to be satisfied with just his warm body next to mine. We both fell asleep wrapped in each others arms. I had a funny feeling and opened my eyes to see Bob sitting up in bed. What's the matter I asked? He said he just didn't feel right. Instant panic grew inside of me as I dialed 911. Bob screamed out my name as he held his arms out. I went into his arms, he hugged me and his whole body went limp. I couldn't feel a pulse and leaned on his chest to listen to his heartbeat but there was nothing. As the medics arrived I let them in and was told to stay in the living room. I don't know why but I felt that Bob's heart had beat it's final beat. I knew deep down in my heart that no matter how hard I could shake him, or how desperately I cried or yelled or even prayed he would never wake up again. He promised me we would always be together and now he is dead.

The Summerhouse
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Deveraux, Jude, PUBLISHER: Pocket Books, "Have you ever wanted to rewrite your past?" Three best friends, all with the same birthday, are about to turn forty. Celebrating at a summerhouse in Maine, Leslie Headrick, Madison Appleby, and Ellie Abbott are taking stock of their lives and loves, their wishes and choices. But none of them expect the gift that awaits them at the summerhouse: the chance for each of them to turn their "what-might-have-beens" into reality... Leslie, a suburban wife and mother, follows the career of a boy who pursued her in college wonders: what if she had chosen differently? Madison dropped a modeling career to help her high school boyfriend recover from an accident, even though he'd jilted her. But what if she had said "no" when her old boyfriend had called?

And could she prevent its happening the second time around? Now, a mysterious "Madame Zoya," offers each of them a chance to relive any three weeks from the past. Will the road not taken prove a better path? Each woman will have to decide for herself as she follows the dream that got away...and each must choose the life that will truly satisfy the heart's deepest longings.
Winston S. Churchill, Volume 4: World in Torment,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gilbert, Martin, PUBLISHER: Hillsdale College Press, "Winston S. Churchill: World In Torment, " is the fourth volume of the definitive biography of Winston S. Churchill. Covering the years to , Martin Gilbert's fascinating account carefully traces Churchill's wide-ranging activities and shows how, by his persuasive oratory, administrative skill, and masterful contributions to Cabinet discussions, Churchill regained, only a few years after the disaster of Dardanelles, a leading position in British political life.There are many dramatic and controversial episodes: the German breakthrough on the Western Front in March , the anti-Bolshevik Intervention in , negotiating the Irish Treaty, consolidating the Jewish National Home in Palestine, and the Chanak crisis with Turkey. In all these, and many other events, Churchill's leading role is explained and illuminated in Martin Gilbert's precise, masterful style.The Churchill who emerges from these pages is a complex, gifted, energetic, troubled man who made a forceful impact on his contemporaries; a man whose remarkable skills were admired by his colleagues, but who often angered - even maddened - them by what he said and did.In a moving final chapter, covering a period when Churchill was without a seat in Parliament for the first time since , Martin Gilbert brilliantly draws together the many strands of time in Churchill's life when his political triumphs were overshadowed by personal sorrows, by his increasingly somber reflections on the backward march of nations and society, and by his stark forecasts of dangers to come.
The Name of the (Anti-Christ) Beast and 666 Identification
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Franklin, Frederick E., PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, This book is an addition to our book, "The Name of the (Anti-Christ) Beast." In that book, we provided you with the name of the (Anti-Christ) Beast and how the person that we named fits the description given to us in the Holy Bible. We also said in that book that God had told us who the (Anti-Christ) Beast was at least twenty times. That book was produced from Chapter 1 of our second book. The title of our second book is "What God Is Now Telling His Prophets About The End Times." As of December, , we know of only two others that God has revealed who the (Anti-Christ) Beast is. We believe that one of those who told us that God had shown him who the (Anti-Christ) Beast is was an angel. For very many years, theologians and so-called prophecy teachers have diligently tried to figure out who the (Anti-Christ) Beast is. For those of you who do not understand, the so-called Anti-Christ is who the Holy Bible refers to as a man that will, during a period in the near future, reign over the entire earth. This time is the (3) three and one half year period of the Great Tribulation. He will be worshipped as God, but he will be Satan that has possessed an evil man that desired to be worshipped as God. All will worship this devil except God's people that will endure until the end, those that will be in the rapture.
Pity the Nation: The Abduction of Lebanon
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fisk, Robert, PUBLISHER: Nation Books, With the Israeli-Palestinian crisis reaching wartime levels, where is the latest confrontation between these two old foes leading? Robert Fisks explosive Pity the Nation recounts Sharon and Arafats first deadly encounter in Lebanon in the early s and explains why the IsraelPalestine relationship seems so intractable. A remarkable combination of war reporting and analysis by an author who has witnessed the carnage of Beirut for twenty-five years, Fisk, the first journalist to whom bin Laden announced his jihad against the U.S., is one of the world's most fearless and honored foreign correspondents. He spares no one in this saga of the civil war and subsequent Israeli invasion: the PLO, whose thuggish behavior alienated most Lebanese; the various Lebanese factions, whose appalling brutality spared no one; the Syrians, who supported first the Christians and then the Muslims in their attempt to control Lebanon; and the Israelis, who tried to install their own puppets and, with their invasion, committed massive war crimes of their own. It includes a moving finale that recounts the travails of Fisks friend Terry Anderson who was kidnapped by Hezbollah and spent days in captivity. Fully updated to include the Israeli withdrawl from south Lebanon and Ariel Sharon's electoral victory over Ehud Barak, this edition has sixty pages of new material and a new preface. Robert Fisks enormous book about Lebanons desperate travails is one of the most distinguished in recent times.Edward Said
The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sutton, Robert I., PUBLISHER: Business Plus, The No Asshole Rule was awarded a Quill Award as the Best Business Book of . When Robert Sutton's "No Asshole Rule" appeared in the Harvard Business Review, readers of this staid publication were amazed at the outpouring of support for this landmark essay. The idea was based on the notion, as adapted in hugely successful companies like Google and SAS, that employees with malicious intents or negative attitudes destroyed any sort of productive and pleasant working environment, and would hinder the entire operation's success. Now using case studies from these and many more corporations that have had unquestioned success using variations of "The No Asshole Rule," Sutton's book aims to show managers that by hiring mean-spirited employees - regardless of talent - saps energy from everyone who must deal with said new hires. Such insights will come from: - Seattle law firm Perkins Coie, which instituted a "no jerks allowed" policy, helping them earn a spot on Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list. - United States Supreme Court Fellow Robert Clayman, who noticed that "assholes" in the highest branch of government turned a blind eye to initiatives that would curb abusive and violent behavior. - Testimony from a former American Airlines manager about how former CEO Bob Crandall's abusive "tough love" behavior actually caused psychological harm to those he was attempting to motivate.

Archaeology, Language, and History: Essays on Culture and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Terrell, John Edward, PUBLISHER: Praeger, Ever since Darwin, the world has been struggling with the mystery of human diversity. As the historian Peter Bowler has written, "an evolutionary interpretation of the history of life on the earth must inevitably extend itself to include the origins of the human race." But this has proved to be a difficult and controversial task. Understanding human origins means accounting not only for the obvious differences between people and cultures around the world, but also for the unity of Homo sapiens as a single biological species. As Stephen Jay Gould has said, "flexibility is the hallmark of human evolution." Because so much of who we are is learned rather than genetically predetermined, a satisfactory understanding of human evolution--to use old parlance--must account both for the human body and the human soul. At any single moment of time, it is always possible to find instances where people seem to live in their own world, speak in their own distinctive ways, and have their own exclusive cultural traits and practices. Over the course of time, however, it is not so easy to find places where these dimensions of our diversity stay together. The essays in this collection show why we must stop thinking that "race," language, and culture go together, and why we should be wary of the commonsense beliefs that human races exist and that people who speak different languages come from fundamentally different biological lineages.
Leadership Succession
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Friedman, Stewart D., PUBLISHER: Transaction Publishers, This volume focuses on the most critical strategic activity in any organization, namely, who gets chosen to sit in the top echelon of the pyramid. Friedman argues that it is the quality of corporate leadership that will determine corporate winners and losers in the global competitive game. The stakes in leadership succession are high. The selection of key figures is the one human resource activity that no one belittles for being of secondary importance. Indeed, leadership succession is so important and central in many executive minds that it crowds out any other work. The succession process is often fraught with political intrigue, it lacks discipline, and excludes meaningful involvement of senior human resource executives. The contributors to this imaginative volume reveal a succession planning process that is frequently sloppy, superficial, and regularly sabotaged by senior management when they give it short shrift in terms of quality time. In addition, senior management often overrides sound decisions when it comes to filling key positions. The result is a lack of integrity throughout the human resource systems that eventually leads to a collapse of belief in the system and its governance. Noel M. Tichy, a leading figure in the studies of human resource management, has said, "Stewart Friedman is to be congratulated for a successful effort in providing a state of the art look at leadership succession. He] provides us with an empirical database of what is happening in U.S. corporations, helpful prescriptions for future improvement of leadership succession, and a realistic assessment of the human resource executive challenges in this area."
Small Wonder: Worlds in a Box
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Levinthal, David / Corey, David, PUBLISHER: Zzdap Publishing, In the general introduction to these first two books in the National Museum of American Art's new series, "American Scene," the series editor and series curator express a hope to "present the evolving portrait of America" in a time when "the myth of the melting pot' has given way to a social fabric woven into a coat of many colors.'" While that noble dream is well on its way to being realized here, the reality still does not quite feel like art. The work of Bernice Abbott and Robert Frank, referred to in the introduction, provides insights into American life but is also characterized by a particular way of seeing. These books have less the effect of art than of photojournalism-though perhaps the best sort, one encouraging contemplation rather than sensationalism. Unfortunately, the problem lies largely in the nature of series, the constraints of size and format and introduction, which here places as much weight on the editors' vision as the individual photographer's ability to see. That said, these are nonetheless valuable documents of today's middle America, by turns pleasant and disturbing, honest, and mythical. Pratt focuses on the county fairs of the Midwest, the traditions they maintain, and, most importantly, the people who attend them. Arndt photographs men, mostly working class, mostly in crumbling cities, establishing a sense of unity among his subjects that makes it the more successful of the books. In these two multiple-image portraits, public libraries will find a moving record of fading people and their traditions.-Eric Bryant Library Journal

Story Writing in a Nursing Home
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: John, Martha Tyler / John Edd, Martha A., PUBLISHER: Routledge, Based on the belief that older people have good stories to tell, Story Writing in a Nursing Home was developed as part of a volunteer teaching service to a nursing home. Graduate students who were learning to teach this special population conducted story writing activities with older adults and found that even the frail elderly who are confined to nursing centers provided a unique perspective about events that emphasize the lasting verities in life. The idea of a patchwork was derived from one of the lessons taught and was suggested by one of the older participants who said, "We're sort of like a patchwork quilt." The information, memories, and humor the elderly see in situations is worth recording. In addition, Story Writing in a Nursing Home emphasizes the way to develop the mental stimulation that is so important for physical well being. This sensitive and insightful book provides a lesson plan outline and the type of content that was used as an example. It also provides a running commentary in the form of a diary that tells how to begin a teaching program for nursing center residents. Students and professionals interested in implementing a similar program can use these ideas for planning and for organizing the use of student help to better serve the population.Fascinating reading, this book includes stories by frail elderly people, lesson plans, tips on working with administrators in a nursing center, and reasons for providing instruction. Teachers, volunteers, librarians, gerontology/sociology students, and others concerned with the well-being of the elderly will refer often to this instructive volume.
