George R. R. Martin Presents Wild Cards: Sleeper Straddle

A Novel in Stories

By: Christopher Rowe,Carrie Vaughn,Cherie Priest,William F. Wu,Walter Jon Williams,Stephen Leigh,Mary Anne Mohanraj,Max Gladstone

An original collection of interwoven short stories set in the Wild Cards universe, where an alien virus mutates some and grants superpowers to others, created by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones An alien virus ravages the world, with effects as random as a hand of cards. Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. Croyd Crenson is the Wild Card’s greatest failure—and its greatest success. Dubbed “The Sleeper,” he randomly undergoes hibernations that can span days, weeks, or even months. After each hibernation, he awakens with a new appearance and set of powers—sometimes a joker, sometimes an ace, and sometimes a combination of both—until exhaustion claims him and his next inevitable sleep shuffles the cards anew. Ever since his initial infection in 1946, he’s awoken in a singular body—until now. His latest awakening has left him split into six different incarnations, each of them a self-contained piece of the original and each with a unique look and ability. One of them, at least, recognizes this for the disaster that it is, and tasks the clever and elusive Tesla—a joker with ace powers—to locate and gather the remaining five versions of himself before sleep claims them again and leaves Croyd permanently fractured. What follows is a journey through Croyd’s long and colorful life, through the lens of some who have encountered the world’s most unusual wild carder. And as Tesla delves deeper into the investigation, he’ll have to work fast, because not every Croyd is as amiable as the first—and they’ll do whatever it takes to survive. Featuring stories from: Christopher Rowe • Carrie Vaughn • Cherie Priest • William F. Wu • Walter Jon Williams • Stephen Leigh • Mary Anne Mohanraj • Max Gladstone • Edited by George R. R. Martin • Assisted by Melinda M. Snodgrass

I Am Princess X

By: Cherie Priest

Best friends, big fans, a mysterious webcomic, and a long-lost girl collide in this riveting novel, perfect for fans of both Cory Doctorow and Sarah Dessen, & illustrated throughout with comics. Once upon a time, two best friends created a princess together. Libby drew the pictures, May wrote the tales, and their heroine, Princess X, slayed all the dragons and scaled all the mountains their imaginations could conjure. Once upon a few years later, Libby was in the car with her mom, driving across the Ballard Bridge on a rainy night. When the car went over the side, Libby passed away, and Princess X died with her. Once upon a now: May is sixteen and lonely, wandering the streets of Seattle, when she sees a sticker slapped in a corner window. Princess X? When May looks around, she sees the Princess everywhere: Stickers. Patches. Graffiti. There's an entire underground culture, focused around a webcomic at IAmPrincessX.com. The more May explores the webcomic, the more she sees disturbing similarities between Libby's story and Princess X online. And that means that only one person could have started this phenomenon---her best friend, Libby, who lives.

Community & Public Health Nursing: Promoting the Public's Health

By: Judith Allender,Cherie Rector,Cherie Rector, PhD Rn-C,Kristine Warner,Kristine Warner, PhD MS MPH RN

Community & Public Health Nursing is designed to provide students a basic grounding in public health nursing principles while emphasizing aggregate-level nursing. While weaving in meaningful examples from practice throughout the text, the authors coach students on how to navigate between conceptualizing about a population-focus while also continuing to advocate and care for individuals, families, and aggregates. This student-friendly, highly illustrated text engages students, and by doing so, eases students into readily applying public health principles along with evidence-based practice, nursing science, and skills that promote health, prevent disease, as well as protect at-risk populations! What the 8th edition of this text does best is assist students in broadening the base of their knowledge and skills that they can employ in both the community and acute care settings, while the newly enhanced ancillary resources offers interactive tools that allow students of all learning styles to master public health nursing.

Through Junes eyes, its a place where nothing is as it seems, a place full of secrets. June lives with people who claim to be her family; shes not sure. Pieces are missing. Words and actions are out of sync. They cause so much pain and suffering. Can she be related to these people who say they are her family? These people they make her do things, things that arent talked about.

On the path up ahead, she senses movement. Within seconds, a magnificent black panther stands before her. Tigua becomes her guardian and protector and helps her discover the power she has available. The power buried deep inside. Tigua gives her the strength to take back her body, take back her life. In this other world, she discovers the real meaning of family and the responsibility it holds.

Human Aging

By: Paul W. Foos,M. Cherie Clark

This text offers a readable and friendly presentation of the important methods, findings, and theories of human aging, while actively involving the reader in meaningful exercises and critical thinking. Students are repeatedly challenged to apply information in the text to the older adults in their own lives. Specifically, suggestions for enhancing the lives of their older relatives are offered and encouraged. These include guidelines for discussions they might have regarding social, emotional, and environmental changes as well encouraging intellectual and social interaction. In this Edition: Emphasis on the science of the study of aging and why questions in aging are difficult to answer, how social scientists attempt to handle such difficulties, and the successes and failures social scientists have had thus far in answering those questions. The text also demonstrates how current research findings are now being applied in the real world and/or how they might be applied in the future. Cross-cultural comparisons and ethnic group comparisons are included wherever possible. Each chapter begins with "Senior View," which introduces students to a real person and gives them a chance to hear what older adults think and say about important issues related to the chapter and a chance to compare those opinions to the research findings. Each chapter ends with "Making Choices," emphasizing the important behavioral, emotional, and social choices that students can make now to prolong a healthy, happy life. "Chapter Projects" offer the opportunity for active learning, as students investigate for themselves an issue related to the chapter. Instructors can expand these projects for students who want to learn more, or for independent study. "Focus on Aging" boxes compliment the material in the text, providing additional insight and examples, and encouraging critical thinking. Every chapter includes discussion questions, study questions, chapter exercises, and related online resources.

On the Road to Find Out

An Mls Journey

By: Cherie Bell

On the Road to Find Out: an MLS Journey begins with a crisis that eventually turns into inner exploration and world travel. Cherie Bell writes with humor and honesty of her decision to return to college after almost thirty years to work on a liberal studies degree in graduate school. Her intention was to focus on world religion and philosophy, but varied interests led her to courses that would take her around the world. She writes in detail about her journeys to India and to World War II sites in England and France. More poignantly, she reveals how liberal arts studies became a journey into the self and exploration of the mind and soul.

Neoplastic Hematopathology

An Atlas and Concise Guide

By: Cherie H. Dunphy

Dunphy (pathology and laboratory medicine, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) helps practicing pathologists, hematopathologists, oncologists, internists, and trainees understand the characteristic morphologic, immunophenotypic, and cytogenic/molecular features of the hematolymphoid neoplasms listed in the current World Health Organization Classification of hematolymphoid neoplasms and arrive at definitive diagnoses. In 13 chapters, hematopathologists and pathologists from the US discuss various hematolymphoid neoplasms, rather than focusing on individual neoplasms in detail, and present summary tables and illustrations to show key pathologic and differential features. They include information on definitions, morphologic features, special stains, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry techniques, differential diagnosis, diagnostic features, and special issues for normal findings; myeloproliferative neoplasms; neoplasms associated with eosinophilia and abnormalities of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, or FGFR1; myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasms; acute myeloid leukemia and related precursor neoplasms; precursor lymphoid neoplasms; mature B-cell neoplasms; mature T-cell and natural killer cell neoplasms; Hodgkin's lymphoma; histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms; and immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders.

My Road to Happiness Memoir of a Former US Tzu Chi CEO

By: Audrey Cheng,Cherie Chen

葛濟捨一生扮演過四種角色身分，醫師、實業家、理財規畫師、慈濟志工，「四樣不同的工作，就像經歷四段不同的生命。雖然經歷不同的領域與挑戰，但每一樣挑戰都是興致勃勃去面對，每一階段都是寶貴的生命體驗。」四十歲那年，葛濟捨出現中年危機，人生失去目標，不是因為設立的目標錯了，而是因為都是為了自己和家人。後來才發現，如果能夠將目標放大，包括一切苦難眾生，人生就會充滿意義；只要發揮良能，生活就會變得充實，生命也會更有價值。一九九八年，他第一次參加慈濟國際賑災，因為中國貴州霜害，要提供食物和生活必需品給受災居民。第一次看到有人生活得這麼苦，這才知道自己的幸福，也才知道自己要惜福。他一改自以為是的人生態度，本來認為周遭的人都是他的苦惱根源，參與賑災後才知道，周遭的人全是成就自己的貴人，要深深地感恩他們。此時，發自內心深處的感動和願意付出，這種「知褔、惜福、再造褔」的人生體驗，是用任何金錢都買不到的人生覺悟，這分深厚的感恩心，是葛濟捨在慈濟學到的無上至寶。「人生不如意事十有八九，要常想一、二」，我們面對人事，除了努力付出之外，無法掌握事情的結局，最好是用歡喜心去面對。歡喜心是一種選擇，也是一種人生態度。如果大家都能以「甘願做、歡喜受」的精神互動，這個社會能更祥和，我們的生命也能夠更圓滿。

She's not the lily-white girl everyone thinks she is--especially Brett Goldstein, the hot eighteen-year-old TV star who's blowing up her phone and taking her on some incredible dates.

Concepts for Interprofessional Collaborative Care

By: Donna D. Ignatavicius,M. Linda Workman,Cherie Rebar

Awarded second place in the 2018 AJN Book of the Year Awards in Medical-Surgical Nursing! Healthcare is evolving at an incredible pace and with it, the roles and responsibilities of the medical-surgical nurse. Ensure you are fully equipped to thrive and adapt in this ever-changing nursing environment with Ignatavicius, Workman, and Rebar's Medical-Surgical Nursing: Concepts for Interprofessional Collaborative Care, 9th Edition. This trendsetting text not only covers all essential adult health knowledge, but also reinforces the application, conceptual thinking, and clinical judgment skills that today’s nurses need to stay one step ahead in delivering exceptional patient care, no matter the environment. As with previous "Iggy" editions, you’ll find a unique collaborative care approach to adult health nursing, a thorough integration of QSEN competencies, extensive NCLEX® Exam preparation, and a direct, reader-friendly tone throughout the text. This ninth edition incorporates two emerging and complementary trends — the Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice and a more conceptual approach teaching and learning — areas that will ground you in how to think like a nurse and how to apply the knowledge you gain from the text to clinical practice. There are a lot of med-surg nursing texts out there, but there’s only one that combines all the information, concepts, and on-the-job realities in a way that makes perfect sense: "Iggy!" Trendsetting QSEN integration emphasizes patient safety and evidence-based practice with Nursing Safety Priority boxes, including Drug Alerts, Critical Rescues, and Action Alerts. UNIQUE! Emphasis on clinical judgment helps you develop skills in clinical reasoning and clinical decision-making when applying concepts to clinical situations.

Brave Soul

A Spiritual Memoir

By: Cherie Bell

Cherie Bell writes with humor and grace about her teenage years as a Pentecostal Christian in the late 1970s. At first happy her chaotic family life would be tamed by church membership, the spunky adolescent with a mind of her own finds her parents' choice too strict. In time she befriends the new church family and joins the faith at age 15 after profound experiences in water baptism and the Holy Ghost. As she grows into an independent young woman in the 1980s, always curious about world religious philosophies, she begins a personal exploration of the soul and finds spirituality outside of religion. Each segment of her memoir is set off by old-time gospel hymns and contemporary Christian song titles as Ms. Bell writes as one who knows the Pentecostal experience firsthand yet does not argue her views today. Indeed she concludes everyone's relationship with God is a personal endeavor. Her engaging story leaves readers thinking about religious fundamentalism and its impact on the world today. A former award-winning journalist and columnist, Ms. Bell is a singer, songwriter, and music teacher in Dallas, where she lives with her husband.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER! "VenCo is funny, tense and cracking with a dark, divine energy." —Louise Erdrich, New York Times bestselling author of The Sentence "An absolute thrill ride of a book, a page-turner of the highest order." —Toronto Star From the bestselling author of Empire of Wild, a wickedly subversive, deliciously imaginative, deeply feminist novel of contemporary witches on the rise—a book that only the supremely gifted storyteller Cherie Dimaline could write. Lucky St. James, orphaned daughter of a bad-ass Métis good-times girl, is barely hanging on to her nowhere life when she finds out that she and her grandmother, Stella, are about to be evicted from their apartment. One night, dejectedly doing laundry in the building's dank basement, Lucky feels an irresistible something calling her. Crawling through a hidden hole in the wall, she finds a tarnished silver spoon depicting a storybook hag over letters that spell out S-A-L-E-M—a spoon whose otherwordly energy soon connects her to a teeming network of witches who have been anxiously waiting for her. Chief among them is Salem-born Meena Good, finder of a matching spoon. Under the wing of the international headhunting firm VenCo, devoted to placing exceptional women in influential jobs, Meena has been collecting these spoons, and the witches who found them, in order to former a magic circle that will restore women to their rightful power. But now, with only one more spoon to find, a roguish and deadly witch-hunter has Meena's coven in his sights. As the clock ticks toward a now-or-never deadline, Meena sends Lucky and her grandmother on a dangerous, sometimes hilarious, road trip in search of the seventh spoon. It ends in the darkly magical city of New Orleans and a final confrontation that will either usher in a new beginning or force witches to remain underground forever.
