Boots Under Her Bed

By: Jodi Thomas,Jo Goodman,Kaki Warner,Alison Kent

From four acclaimed authors come four all-new novellas featuring the rugged men of the West and the women who want them… From Jodi Thomas...Callie has done a lot of crazy things, but it’ll take one more to prove she isn’t nuts: find a husband, fast! Her only requirement: he has to be taller than she is and swear not to have her committed during their ruse of a marriage. From Jo Goodman...Felicity Ravenwood was raised to be independent-minded, but when this runaway bride opposes her father’s choices, it is up to Nat Church to bring her around. But he doesn’t count on springing her from jail, holding her hostage, or falling head over boot-heels in love. From Kaki Warner...Two strangers on a train have more in common than they know—both have hidden purposes and ties to a Nebraska bank robbery. But when their schemes unravel, they find a bigger surprise awaiting them than either could have imagined. From Alison Kent...When runaway New York socialite Maeve Daugherty joins her father’s bodyguard Zeb Crow on his personal mission of revenge, what was a slightly scandalous new life as a bookkeeper for an infamous San Antonio brothel becomes downright dangerous. But that’s not stopping Maeve from having the time of her life.

The Row House in Washington, DC

A History

By: Alison K. Hoagland

With The Row House in Washington, DC, the architectural historian and preservationist Alison Hoagland turns the lucid prose style and keen analytical skill that characterize all her scholarship to the subject of the Washington row house. Row houses have long been an important component of the housing stock of many major American cities, predominantly sheltering the middle classes comprising clerks, tradespeople, and artisans. In Washington, with its plethora of government workers, they are the dominant typology of the historical city. Hoagland identifies six principal row house types—two-room, L-shaped, three-room, English-basement, quadrant, and kitchen-forward—and documents their wide-ranging impact, as sources of income and statements of attainment as well as domiciles for nuclear families or boarders, homeowners or renters, long tenancy or short stays. Through restrictive covenants on some house sales, they also illustrate the pervasive racism that has haunted the city. This topical study demonstrates at once the distinctive character of the Washington row house and the many similarities it shares with row houses in other mid-Atlantic cities. In a broader sense, it also shows how urban dwellers responded to a challenging concatenation of spatial, regulatory, financial, and demographic limitations, providing a historical model for new, innovative designs. Publication of this volume was assisted by a grant from Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund.

Words, Thoughts, and Theories

By: Alison Gopnik,Andrew N. Meltzoff

Words, Thoughts, and Theories articulates and defends the "theory theory" of cognitive and semantic development, the idea that infants and young children, like scientists, learn about the world by forming and revising theories, a view of the origins of knowledge and meaning that has broad implications for cognitive science. Gopnik and Meltzoff interweave philosophical arguments and empirical data from their own and other's research. Both the philosophy and the psychology, the arguments and the data, address the same fundamental epistemological question: How do we come to understand the world around us? Recently, the theory theory has led to much interesting research. However, this is the first book to look at the theory in extensive detail and to systematically contrast it with other theories. It is also the first to apply the theory to infancy and early childhood, to use the theory to provide a framework for understanding semantic development, and to demonstrate that language acquisition influences theory change in children.The authors show that children just beginning to talk are engaged in profound restructurings of several domains of knowledge. These restructurings are similar to theory changes in science, and they influence children's early semantic development, since children's cognitive concerns shape and motivate their use of very early words. But, in addition, children pay attention to the language they hear around them and this too reshapes their cognition, and causes them to reorganize their theories.

Victor Papanek

Designer for the Real World

By: Alison J. Clarke

The history and controversial roots of the social design movement, explored through the life and work of its leading pioneer, Victor Papanek. In Victor Papanek: Designer for the Real World, Alison Clarke explores the social design movement through the life of its leading pioneer, the Austrian American designer, theorist, and activist Victor Papanek. Papanek's 1971 best seller, Design for the Real World: Human Ecology and Social Change has been translated into twenty-two languages and never fallen out of print. Its politics of social design, anti-corporatism, and environmental sustainability have found renewed pertinence in the twenty-first century and dominate the agendas of design schools today. Drawing extensively on previously unexplored archival sources, Clarke uncovers and contextualizes the movement's controversial origins and contradictions.

By: Marie Ferrarella,Debbie Macomber,Barbara Hannay,Lynne Graham,Alison Roberts

The Apartment – Debbie Macomber Hilary Sullivan's new apartment is the first place she's ever had on her own. She left San Francisco to live and work in Portland – and to get away from her much–loved but overprotective mother. But she soon discovers that the apartment comes with an unexpected roommate – Sean Cochran, a good–looking pilot who's just left the army and shows up at the place he thinks he's rented! The Contaxis Baby – Lynne Graham Socialite Lizzie Denton's situation looks pretty ugly. She's public enemy number one, has no job, no home and only a designer wardrobe to keep her company. Devastated by the death of his half–brother, Greek tycoon Sebastian Contaxis decides to punish the woman responsible: Lizzie Denton. But when he discovers that the stunning woman he can't keep his hands off is the same woman he's been seeking, Sebastian alters his scheme. After all, one broken heart deserves another, right? And revenge is so much sweeter when it's served in bed – that is, until Lizzie has some surprising news for him. Outback Wife And Mother – Barbara Hannay Fletcher Hardy welcomed a diversion like Ally Fraser during his tedious business trip...until he found himself falling for her.

So he returned to Wallaroo and tried to forget. Until Ally turned up as his four–year–old godson's new nanny, with the intention of proving that she could survive the Outback and be the perfect wife and mother! Baby On The Way – Marie Ferrarella Single and pregnant, Madeline Reed found the perfect husband in the handsome cop who helped bring her infant son into the world.

Her Sister's Baby

By: Alison Fraser

Harlequin II offers three popular romance titles in each shipment -- perfect for libraries that want more Harlequin titles or libraries that want Harlequins, but need a smaller standing order plan. Titles in the Harlequin II Romance Series are not duplicated in our original Harlequin I Romance Series. When Dray Carlisle turned up unexpectedly, Cass knew there must be trouble afoot. She hadn't seen Dray for three years, after their brief but intensely passionate affair had ended. However, Cass wasn't prepared for Dray's news: her younger sister, from whom she'd become estranged, had died in childbirth. Cass couldn't turn her back on her newborn niece . . . and that meant Dray -- and the irresistible sexual attraction between them -- would also be part of her life once more . . .
