Shaken

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ferrier, Sade', PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, Shaken I know, I know, you're disappointed; the goody two-shoes Christian girl got pregnant. If it's any consolation, I think I received my punishment. Raheem Rodriguez, my amazing boyfriend, disappeared. It was almost like a magic trick, except I didn't clap at the end. I got used to the whole "single parenthood" deal pretty quickly, I suppose. Four years after Raheem's infamous vanishing act, I was doing just fine. Everything was looking up - that is, until he came back. Who would've known that his return would set off a series of - for lack of a better word - interesting events? All I know is that things went from better to worse in a flash, and I wasn't prepared at all. Sade' Ferrier fell in love with the Arts at a very young age, writing her first short story when she was only eight years old. She draws inspiration from both her faith and the many controversial issues she observes in society. Singing, dancing, and acting also hold regal thrones in her heart, fueled only by her love for God.

Varieties of Southern History: New Essays on a Region and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Salmond, John A. / Clayton, Bruce / Salmond, John, PUBLISHER: Praeger, This is a unique collection of essays by some of the world's leading historians of the South, together with work by younger scholars. All contributors, however, are working at the cutting edge of their particular methodological approaches. The book, for example, includes both an essay by Pulitzer Prize winner Rhys Isaac, and one by Rutgers University graduate student Beth Hale. Yet, both have a common concern to explore the reaches of the Southern past through the dimension of ethnography. The essays in the book are grouped according to theme. The largest section, the social sciences and Southern history, includes essays drawing heavily on the insights of anthropology of ethnography and of statistical analysis. Each essay in the second section is designed to illustrate how life history can be used to illuminate much larger histoical themes and processes. The essays in the last section on labor in the "new" South all illustrate, among other things, the importance of drawing on the insights of historians of women in order to redress the masculinist presuppositons of labor historians. All the essays in the book, in fact, reflect current concerns with gender and race in the re-interpretation of the Southern past.

Waking Up in Charleston

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Woods, Sherryl, PUBLISHER: Mira Books, Oh, God She's in love with her preacher. But it's not as if Amanda O'Leary set "out" to fall for the most gorgeous (and unattainable) man this side of South Carolina Low Country. It's just that he organized building a cozy home for her and her children at a time when the future looked darker than blackstrap molasses. Not even her own father, the arrogant and wealthy Big Max, would have done as much for her. But that's a whole other kettle of fish. Caleb can count on fingers and toes why his attraction to widowed Amanda is plain wrong. How can he objectively counsel this chin-up spitfire without letting his emotions--and imagination--run wild? And now that Big Max has burdened him with not one secret, but two, he knows his priorities should be mending fences between father and daughter--but he can't help trying to build a place for himself in her heart first....

The Contradictions of American Capital Punishment

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zimring, Franklin E., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Why does the United States continue to employ the death penalty when fifty other developed democracies have abolished it? Why does capital punishment become more problematic each year? How can the death penalty conflict be resolved? In The Contradictions of American Capital Punishment, Frank Zimring reveals that the seemingly insoluble turmoil surrounding the death penalty reflects a deep and long-standing division in American values, a division that he predicts will soon bring about the end of capital punishment in our country. On the one hand, execution would seem to violate our nation's highest legal principles of fairness and due process. It sets us increasingly apart from our allies and indeed is regarded by European nations as a barbaric and particularly egregious form of American exceptionalism. On the other hand, the death penalty represents a deeply held American belief in violent social justice that sees the hangman as an agent of local control and safeguard of community values. Zimring uncovers the most troubling symptom of this attraction to vigilante justice in the lynch mob. He shows that the great majority of executions in recent decades have occurred in precisely those Southern states where lynchings were most common a hundred years ago. It is this legacy, Zimring suggests, that constitutes both the distinctive appeal of the death penalty in the United States and one of the most compelling reasons for abolishing it. Impeccably researched and engagingly written, Contradictions in American Capital Punishment casts a clear new light on America's long and troubled embrace of the death penalty.

Alternatives to Domestic Violence: A Homework Manual for

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fall, Kevin A. / Howard, Shareen, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Alternatives to Domestic Violence is designed as a workbook to be used by male patients in domestic violence group counseling. The topics covered were selected based on best practices within the field of domestic violence intervention, allowing the book to be used with a wide variety of accepted curricula for such programs. Interactive exercises provide group members with the opportunity for enhanced participation and learning, and stories from men who were previously participants themselves illuminate important concepts and techniques for change. Topics covered include the expectations and realities of group work; exploring and defeating intimidation; respect and accountability; maintaining positive relationships; and good communication skills. Two additional topics, parenting and the role of religion in recovery, are unique additions not found in other domestic violence programs. This new edition is completely revised based on new advances in the field and the authors own work since the last was published, and contains several new stories from group members and a new section on the role of drugs and alcohol in domestic violence.

Science: 100 Scientists Who Changed the World

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Balchin, Jon, PUBLISHER: Enchanted Lion Books, To be alive today is to be confronted by the products of science--from aspirin, refrigeration, electric light and the telephone, to the airplane and the computer--to name just a few. In addition to beneficial medicines and life enhancing discoveries, however, scientific research also has led to many dangerous developments, such as the machine gun and the atom bomb. "Science "explores all of these, telling the story of how observation and testing have changed daily life over the past years, along with how we understand the world, the cosmos, the body, and the mind. What is most fascinating for students first learning about scientific discovery, and what this book highlights so beautifully through presenting individual scientists, is the way in which simple observation--such as watching the weather, or an object fall--leads to a discovery that radically alters life in the world and our comprehension of how the natural world works. An engaging and clearly explained book, full of pertinent quotations and anecdotes, "Science "tells a compelling story, inviting its readers to pursue its subject further.

Ten Thousand Eyes: The Amazing Story of the Spy Network That

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Collier, Richard, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, When France fell to the Germans in , a slight, scholarly twenty-eight-year-old captain of engineers and professor escaped to England, and with General Charles De Gaulle and Andre Dewavrin, he organized an intelligence service with one goal -- to secure a blueprint for Germany's Atlantic Wall and place it in the hand of the Allies. What follows is a remarkable story of a clandestine spy network comprised of sailors, farmers, painters, housewives, and children all unified in one purpose -- the fall of the Third Reich. Richard Collier tells the story of how ordinary men and women from all walks of life risked torture and death in German-occupied Normandy to furnish the Allied forces with detailed information of the German coastal defenses, knowledge essential for D-Day success. Working from material both published and unpublished, Collier has created an authentic record of one of the most remarkable episodes of World War II, a human story of a group of ordinary people whose faith paved the way for Eisenhower's great sweep on D-Day.

What Happened on Fox Street

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Springstubb, Tricia / Ross, Heather, PUBLISHER: Balzer & Bray/Harperteen, Fox Street was a dead end. In Mo Wren's opinion, this was only one of many wonderful, distinguishing things about it. Mo lives on Fox Street with her dad and little sister, the Wild Child. Their house is in the middle of the block--right where a heart would be, if the street were a person. Fox Street has everything: a piano player, a fix-it man, the city's best burrito makers, a woman who cuts Mo's hair just right, not to mention a certain boy who wants to teach her how to skateboard. There's even a mean, spooky old lady, if ringing doorbells and running away, or leaving dead mice in mailboxes, is your idea of fun. Summers are Mo's favorite time, because her best friend, Mercedes, comes to stay. Most important, though, Fox Street is where all Mo's memories of her mother live. The idea of anything changing on Fox Street is unimaginable--until it isn't. This is the story of one unforgettable summer--a summer of alarming letters, mysterious errands, and surprising revelations--and how a tuft of bright red fur gives Mo the courage she needs.

Rommel's Year of Victory combines these illustrations with a new, gripping narrative by James Lucas that captures the day-to-day life of the German soldier in the desert.

Off Balance: A Memoir

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moceanu, Dominique / Williams, Paul / Williams, Teri, PUBLISHER: Touchstone Books, An unflinchingly honest memoir from Olympic gold medalist Dominique Moceanu that reveals the often dark underbelly of Olympic gymnastics as only an insider can--and the secrets she learned about the past that nearly tore apart her family.At fourteen years old, Dominique Moceanu was the youngest member of the U.S. Women's Olympic Gymnastic team, the first and only American women's team to take gold at the Olympics. Her pixie-like appearance, passion for the sport, and ferocious competitive drive quickly earned her the status of media darling. But behind the fame, the flawless floor routines, and the million-dollar smile, her life was a series of challenges and hardships. From her stubborn father and long-suffering mother, to her acclaimed Svengali-like coach, Bela Karolyi, "Off Balance" reveals how each of the dominating characters contributed to Moceanu's rise to the top. Here, Moceanu finally shares the haunting stories of competition, her years of hiding injuries and pain out of fear of retribution from her coaches, and how she hit rock bottom after being publicly scorned by her father. But medals, murder plots, drugs, and daring escapes aside (all of which figure into Moceanu's incredible journey), the most unique aspect of her life is the family secret that Moceanu discovers, opening a new and unexpected chapter in her adult life, just as she reclaims the love of the sport that had defined so much of her life. A multilayered memoir that transcends the world of gymnastics and sport, "Off Balance "will touch anyone who has ever dared to dream of a better life.

An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Taylor, Barbara Brown, PUBLISHER: HarperOne, In her critically acclaimed "Leaving Church" ("a beautiful, absorbing memoir"--"The Dallas Morning News"), Barbara Brown Taylor wrote about her experience leaving full-time ministryto become a professor, a decision that stretched the boundaries of her faith. Now, in her stunning follow-up, "An Altar in the World," she shares how she learned to encounter God far beyond the walls of the church. Taylor reveals meaningful ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see, from simple practices such as walking, working, and prayer. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of meditation if we pay attention to what we're doing and take time to notice the sights, smells, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go, in nearly everything we do. Through Taylor's expert guidance and delicate, thought-provoking prose, we learn to live with purpose, pay attention, slow down, and revere the world we live in.

Double Agent: The Critic and Society

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickstein, Morris, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Double Agent is a watershed in the recent revival of interest in the role of the public critic and intellectual who writes about culture, politics, and the arts for an intelligent general audience. Offering acute portraits of critics both famous and neglected, Dickstein traces the evolution of cultural criticism over the last century from Matthew Arnold to New Historicism. He examines the development of practical criticism, the rise and fall of literary journalism, and the growth of American Studies, and rereads the work of critics like Arnold, Walter Pater, I.A. Richards, Roland Barthes, Edmund Wilson, R.P. Blackmur, Lionel Trilling, Alfred Kazin, and George Orwell. In essays and books that are themselves works of literature, these writers made criticism central to the public sphere, balancing social and literary values, politic commitment and aesthetic judgment. Though marginalized or ignored by academic histories of criticism, their example has proved immensely valuable for younger critics eager to find a personal voice and reach a wider public. Dickstein concludes with a lively and provocative dialogue that weighs the claims of recent literary theory and the importance of renewing public culture.

Equinox: Life, Love, and Birds of Prey

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Brien, Dan, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, The gripping account of one autumn season of falconry and spiritual renewal by award-winning author Dan O'Brien. Dan O'Brien has been consumed with a lifelong passion for falconry. As he approaches his fiftieth birthday, the autumnal equinox of his life, feeling a waning sense of purpose, he decides to devote himself entirely for a season to his greatest loves -- falconry, his bird dogs, and the South Dakota prairie he calls home. He takes on a remarkable falcon chick who immediately distinguishes herself with her ferocity; he names the bird Harley and trains her in the ways of falconry. Harley's powers of flight are awe-inspiring, her hunting success astounding. Like a lover, she captivates him. O'Brien hunts with her obsessively, reveling in her prowess and beauty. And then, one day, she is gone. Set in the high plains of South Dakota, "Equinox" is the chronicle of Harley, and much more: It is the story of a life lived closely to the natural cycles of the earth, and a midlife revelation of the importance of staying connected to all things held dear. Lovers of nature and fine writing, and all those facing their own personal autumns, will relish this marvelous book.

Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel's work is never done, especially not during such a wondrous time as New Year's Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their wings, they descend upon Times Square in New York City eager to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely strangers in the crowd, he decides midnight is the perfect time to lend a heavenly helping hand. Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after bumping into each other--seemingly by accident--in Times Square on New Year's Eve. They immediately hit it off and find they have a lot in common: Lucie is a burgeoning chef and Aren is a respected food critic. But just as quickly as they're brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart, leaving Lucie and Aren with no way to reconnect. A year later, Lucie is the head chef of an acclaimed new restaurant and Aren is a successful columnist for a major New York newspaper. For all the time that's passed, the two have not forgotten their one serendipitous evening--and neither have Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and Will. To reunite the young couple, the angels cook up a brilliant plan: mix true love, a second chance, and a generous sprinkle of mischief to create an unforgettable Christmas miracle.
