Girls with Scars

By: April Kerner

Nate: My life’s a mess. One sister’s in jail and the other ran off to Reno, leaving me a thousand bucks and an eviction notice for our apartment. Thankfully, I secure a work-study job at a local auto garage. All I gotta do is avoid child protective services until I’m eighteen, finish senior year, and snag a college basketball recruiter’s attention. No biggie, right? Then I meet Pen, my new boss’s beautiful, mysterious daughter… Pen: Senior year’s just begun, but given how quiet things are so far, I’m optimistic I’ll finish the rest of high school unscathed. Then Nate Palmer, gorgeous basketball star, trips over my bag…and asks me if I’m new here. Evidently, he has no idea who I am, or what I’ve been through the last two years. Despite my undeniable attraction to him, I try to keep him at arm’s length. But Nate’s gentle, caring affection breaks through my emotional defenses. When old enemies resurface and threaten our budding relationship, I’m forced to decide: walk away from Nate for good to protect my fragile heart, or reclaim those painful scars and finally heal.

Authority and Democracy

By: April Carter

This book debates the nature and functions of authority: it examines how far our inherited images of authority derive from an aristocratic and traditional order and considers which models of authority are still relevant in a democratic and rationalist society. It discusses the characteristics of the authority relationship, whether political authority differs from other kinds of authority, how authority relates to power and whether authority should be distinguished from the concept of legitimate rule. The latter part of the book explores the relevance or irrelevance of authority in contemporary society. In particular it examines recent libertarian arguments for the rejection of all forms of authority and the special problems of creating and maintaining authority after revolution.

Success and Failure in Arms Control Negotiations

Success and Failure in Arms Control Negotiations

By: April Carter

Governments have been negotiating about disarmament, or more limited forms of arms control, for forty years. Despite these negotiations, weapons of increasing deadliness and sophistication continue to be developed. Through the use of case studies of particular negotiations (Partial and Comprehensive Test Ban, SALT I and II, INF and START, and MBFR/CFE), the book explores both the reasons for success and the obstacles leading to failure, and assesses the importance of different types of explanation. Dr Carter not only analyses the reasons why negotiations fail, she also examines the conditions under which they are likely to succeed. The result is a balanced comprehensive treatment of the problems and prospects for arms control.

Boys with Braces

By: April Kerner

“Our timing sucks! I get that. We are seniors in our last semester, we shouldn’t be forming attachments.” Riley wasn’t expecting much when she moved to sleepy Grady Springs half-way through her senior year. But her cousin needed her, so… she moved, made new friends, and met her perfect match. Intelligent, brooding, and beautiful, Lazar Maras is everything Riley has ever wanted in a boyfriend, yet she is hesitant to form an attachment, as bad things happen to those she allows in her heart. Problem is, it might already be too late. Lazar has no interest in forming romantic entanglements, he simply wants to concentrate on wining the state and signing with his dream university. That was until he met Riley Boone. She is his dream girl, smart, beautiful and kind. Wanting to learn everything about her, he’ll accept being friend zoned, if he gets to continue to spend time with her. When outside pressures test their budding relationship, choices must be made, lines drawn, if they are to have any future together…

Direct Action and Liberal Democracy

By: April Carter

This study focuses primarily on the nature of "direct action" in relation to contemporary movements, and considers the role of direct action methods in past campaigns for constitutional and social rights. Boycotts, sit-ins, obstructions, civil disobedience and other unconstitutional forms of protest are examined to see whether they necessarily lead to violence. The political conditions which encourage violence and the effects of various type of violent action are also discussed. The theoretical issues raised by direct action in a parliamentary system are also discussed.

Peace Movements: International Protest and World Politics Since 1945

By: April Carter

There is a long tradition of opposition to war and organized peace campaigns date from 1815. Since 1945, however, modern weapons technology has threatened world wide destruction and has stimulated widespread protests. This book sketches in the background of thinking about peace and resistance to war before 1945, and then examines how public opposition to nuclear weapons and testing grew in the 1950s and early 1960s. Later chapters cover the major ressurgence of nuclear disarmament campaigns in the 1980s. The book also looks at how peace protest has spread from its origins in North America and North West Europe to embrace many parts of the world; opposition to nuclear testing has indeed been particularly strong in Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands. The period 1945 to 1990 was dominated by the Cold War between the USA and USSR, and the role of the Soviet-sponsored World Peace Council caused difficulties for indeptendent peace groups in the West. During the 1980s the emergence of autonomous peace activity in a number of East European countries, and even on a very small scale in the USSR itself, transformed the possibilities for East-West co-operation between citizens to urge disarmament and political change. A chapter examines these developments. Opposition to all forms of militarism has spread in the last 30 years. This book charts the struggles to extend the right to conscientious objection to military service, and draft resistance to particular wars - for example in Southern Africa and Israel. It also looks in some detail at the growing opposition to the war in the Vietnam. The recent protests against the Gulf War are surveyed briefly in an epilogue.

Direct Action and Democracy Today

By: April Carter

More and more people around the world are protesting to defend their rights, resist injustice or oppose undemocratic rule. In this book, April Carter debates the nature and meaning of such protest and discusses the relationship between direct action and people's claims for greater democratic control, not only against repressive regimes but also in liberal parliamentary states. The book begins by looking at non-violent direct action in historical context, tracing its evolution from the end of the Second World War to the present day. It examines the association between direct action and the social movements of recent decades and charts its role in the new global movement against neo-liberal economic policies. The second part of the book relates direct action to political theory to ascertain how it fits with theories of liberal, republican and deliberative democracy. It goes on to consider socialist and cosmopolitan approaches to democracy and popular resistance and concludes by looking at the implications of protest politics for current democratic thinking and contemporary world events. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of international politics and political theory.

Revitalizing Urban Waterway Communities

Streams of Environmental Justice

By: Richard Smardon,Sharon Moran,April Karen Baptiste

The revitalizing and restoration of rivers, creeks and streams is a major focus of urban conservation activity throughout North America and Europe. This book presents models and examples for organizing multiple stakeholders for purposes of waterway revitalization—if not restoration—within a context of fairness and environmental justice. After decades of neglect and misuse the challenge of cleaning up urban rivers and streams is shown to be complex and truly daunting. Urban river cleanup typically involves multiple agendas and stakeholders, as well as complicated technical issues. It is also often the situation that the most affected have the least voice in what happens. The authors present social process models for maximum inclusion of various stakeholders in decision-making for urban waterway regeneration. A range of examples is presented, drawn principally from North America and Europe.
