Dream Chasers

An Inspector Green Mystery

By: Barbara Fradkin

“Insightful, nuanced, and entertaining, Dream Chasers might well be the best Inspector Green novel to date.” — Sherbrooke Record Inspector Green suspects a homicide relates to an elite teen hockey player in this gripping police procedural for fans of Louise Penny and Michael Connelly. A seventeen-year-old sets out to meet her secret lover by Ottawa’s Hog’s Back Falls. Three days later, her body washes up in the shallows. The public fears a sexual predator is on the loose, but Inspector Green suspects a more personal connection. His search for answers draws him into the world of elite young athletes, drugs, and teenage sexuality. Then a social worker who knows too much disappears, and blood is found in the house of a star with NHL prospects. Unless Green can unravel the truth, how many others will pay the ultimate price for a young man's dreams?

Picking Up the Pieces

By: Barbara Gale

IF HE COULD HAVE ONE WISH, IT WOULD BE THAT HE WERE ANYWHERE ELSE… But he wasn’t. And neither was she. For as Harry Bensen lived and breathed, supermodel Althea Almott—the very woman who had broken his heart many years ago—was now nursing him back to health! Harry didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry…. For complex personal and professional reasons, Althea had had to walk away from Harry. But she couldn’t very well walk away from the world-famous photographer now. After all, he had practically collapsed on her…literally…and he was the only man to ever have left an imprint on her heart. But once he recuperated and news of her scandalous broken marriage hit the newsstands, he wouldn’t want anything to do with her…or so she thought!

Streamlined ID

A Practical Guide to Instructional Design

By: Miriam B. Larson,Barbara B. Lockee

Streamlined ID presents a focused and generalizable approach to instructional design and development – one that addresses the needs of ID novices as well as practitioners in a variety of career environments. Highlighting essentials and big ideas, this guide advocates a streamlined approach to instructional design: producing instruction that is sustainable, optimized, appropriately redundant, and targeted at continuous improvement. The book’s enhanced version of the classic ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) emphasizes the iterative nature of design and the role of evaluation throughout the design/development process. It clearly lays out a systematic approach that emphasizes the use of research-based theories, while acknowledging the need to customize the process to accommodate a variety of pedagogical approaches. This thoroughly revised second edition reflects recent advances and changes in the field, adds three new chapters, updates reference charts, job aids, and tips to support practitioners working in a variety of career environments, and speaks more clearly than ever to ID novices and graduate students.

Behind the Forgotten Front

A WWII Novel

By: Barbara Hawkins

75 years after WWII headlines of Pearl Harbor, Normandy and Hiroshima hit the press, the China-Burma-India Theater is brought to light in Behind the Forgotten Front. It's 1942, and Harry Flynn leaves behind the love of his life to journey into East Asia, a world of tigers, elephants and Himalayan Mountains. He enlists to fight, expecting to find the thrill of danger and honor of military service. Instead, Harry is ordered to the Forgotten Front in the Indian subcontinent as an ordinary supply officer. There, General Joseph 'Vinegar Joe' Stilwell is constructing a 'road to nowhere' through Japanese-occupied Burma—and he’s willing to complete it at any cost. In an exotic world with Naga headhunters, opium-smoking Kachin tribesmen, and marauders who scorn both life and death, Harry must entrust his life to others if he is to survive the war. During a time when boys are forced to come of age on the battlefield, and where death and insanity seem to be the only ways out, Harry must find what makes his life worth living. The lessons learned in WWII apply to all wars where men walk away carrying unspeakable memories about the lives that could have been. Behind the Forgotten Front takes you to the overlooked battles in the China-Burma-India Theater of World War II and shows you that history is about facts driven by the passions and sometimes the mistakes of real people.

The Art of the Turkish Tale

The Art of the Turkish Tale

By: Barbara K. Walker

In casting them into English, Walker has paid particular attention to capturing the flavor and excitement of the Turkish telling, while not infringing "on the narrator's right to have the tale recreated as he had told it." ...The Beauty, power, and appeal of the present volume for the general reading public, however, depends largely upon Barbara Walker's own consummate skill as a teller and re-teller of tales and her commitment to conveying as much of the Turkish performance context as possible. ...In a gesture which is perhaps symptomatic of the reasons for this volume's success, [Barbara Walker] recognizes in the Acknowledgments section each and every tale-teller by name--all forty of them, ranging in age from nine to ninety and coming from the many different walks of life, both urban and rural, to be found in twenty out of Turkey's seventy-four provinces from Mugla to Kars and from Istanbul to Diyarbakir. In presenting the works of "all these generous bearers of tradition" to an English-speaking audience, [she] has achieved her aim of opening a small window on the art of the Turkish tale in a volume which stands as a tribute to the art of book making as well. Sarah Moment Atis, Chair, Middle East Studies Program, University of Wisconsin-Madison President, Turkish Studies Association This will stand as a fine, quintessential contribution.... One hears the whispers of the original voices in these versions, all of which are... artful, recast in colloquial rhythms, and couched in a style that conveys the substance, the shape, the spirit, and the sumptuousness or the simplicity of the tale. Talat Sait Halman, Turkey's former Minister of Culture, then Ambassador for Cultural Affairs; now Professor of Near Eastern Languages and Literatures, New York University

Daughters and Granddaughters of Farmworkers

Emerging from the Long Shadow of Farm Labor

By: Barbara Wells

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Daughters and Granddaughters of Farmworkers

Emerging from the Long Shadow of Farm Labor

By: Barbara Wells

In Daughters and Granddaughters of Farmworkers, Barbara Wells examines the work and family lives of Mexican American women in a community near the U.S.-Mexican border in California’s Imperial County. Decades earlier, their Mexican parents and grandparents had made the momentous decision to migrate to the United States as farmworkers. This book explores how that decision has worked out for these second- and third-generation Mexican Americans. Wells provides stories of the struggles, triumphs, and everyday experiences of these women. She analyzes their narratives on a broad canvas that includes the social structures that create the barriers, constraints, and opportunities that have shaped their lives. The women have constructed far more settled lives than the immigrant generation that followed the crops, but many struggle to provide adequately for their families. These women aspire to achieve the middle-class lives of the American Dream. But upward mobility is an elusive goal. The realities of life in a rural, agricultural border community strictly limit social mobility for these descendants of immigrant farm laborers. Reliance on family networks is a vital strategy for meeting the economic challenges they encounter. Wells illustrates clearly the ways in which the “long shadow” of farm work continues to permeate the lives and prospects of these women and their families.

A Head of Cabbage

A Memoir

By: Barbara Johnson

Barbara Abbott was eighteen when her father threatened to kill her if she went to school against his will. A sharecropper since he lost his farm in 1956, he needed her on the farm to help plant their annual tobacco crop. Barbara would often sneak away to school, but her mother would retrieve her before her second class started and return her to the fields. Then, after the workday was over, she studied unassigned chapters hoping that she would not get behind in her class assignments due to absences from school. Her father believed living off the land was the best option for southern black people. He never encouraged his children to seek an education; he saw how education had not helped many black people financially and had an extreme distrust of white people and the government. Eventually, Barbara got accepted into Bennett College, a predominately black all-girls school, though she left college after her junior year to marry her high school sweetheart. Then, while pregnant, she discovered that her husband was gay and had a lover living next door. Spanning many decades, this personal narrative shares an account of the everyday life struggles of a black woman and shows her determination to live a life different from those of her ancestors.

Fentanyl

A Mother's Journey Through Her Son's Addiction

By: Barbara Hanvey

I once asked my only son Spencer why he started smoking pot, and he answered, "To keep me from putting a gun to my head." Spencer is a tremendous athlete with a bright future just like many of America's sons and daughters. He wants to fit into a world with a culture that is not so forgiving and can make it tough for a young man to survive. He is in a fight for his life. His mom who walks alongside her son with great love, which sometimes gets in the way, battles against her son's substance abuse with him. When addiction lands on this mother's doorstep, it brings chaos and utter confusion to her and the whole family. Like many parents with a child facing substance abuse, she is desperate to find him treatment. When drugs meet mental health issues, it does torment not only him but also all those around him whom he loves. Addiction can expose our loved ones to fentanyl, which is a killer of thousands. If you happen to know someone who comes in contact with it and makes it out alive with a productive life, then they are the exception. After breaking into a pharmacy three times, he was arrested, which led him to the rehab center called John 3:16 Ministries which made him face his darkest fears. God rescued him from the depths of drug addiction and changed his life through Jesus Christ. In this story, a family reaches out to God who helps their faith grow stronger and carries them through even the darkest of nights. In Barbara's writing, you will see the daily struggles of living with an addict. Her prayer is for the fentanyl crisis to be taken seriously enough to cut off its supply.

Choose Me, Cowboy

By: Barbara Ankrum

The Copper Mountain Rodeo has returned to Marietta and cowboy reputations aren’t the only thing at stake… Marietta Kindergarten teacher, Kate Canaday, is doing perfectly well without the ex-love of her life mucking up her intention to stay gloriously uncommitted. So what if she’s become—according to her sisters—a serial dater? If pro-bullrider Finn Scott‘s untimely defection six years ago taught her anything, it was that men come with an expiration date. And she’s more than happy to oblige them. Trouble is, the sexier-than-ever Finn, now a devoted single father, has just moved to Marietta with his adorable five-year-old twins. He’s in an unexpected custody battle with his ex and too proud to ask Kate for help in making his crazy life look stable. But Kate sees helping him as a way of sealing off the hurt from her past once and for all. If they can just keep their hands off each other. After all…expiration date, right? Not if Finn has anything to say about it…

Choose Joy - On Joy and Freedom for the Logically Minded

By: Barbara Piechocinska

Learn to Reprogram Yourself for Joy The moment we truly realize that we have the power to choose our emotions is exhilaratingly empowering. But it is not until we learn to use our emotions that we experience the liberation and the freedom to live in joy. In this book you will find several viewpoints to assist you in moving into your power. Some of them are bound to shake you up, in order to pinpoint the outlines of the beliefs that currently hold you back. Alongside the different perspectives, you will find exercises to help free you from unwanted thought patterns and destructive, ingrained beliefs. This is the first in what appears to be a series of short books of essays, all centered around what could be regarded as common sense...were it not for the fact that this sense is uncommon practice in today's society.
