Up to Speed

The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletes

By: Christine Yu

“Up to Speed is a roadmap and toolbox for athletes of all ages. Every coach should read it and discuss it with their athletes. I wish I had been able to read this book while I was competing.” —Kara Goucher, Olympic long-distance runner and author of The Longest Race How the latest science can help women achieve their athletic potential Over the last fifty years, women have made extraordinary advances in athletics. More women than ever are playing sports and staying active longer. Whether they’re elite athletes looking for an edge or enthusiastic amateurs, women deserve a culture of sports that helps them thrive: training programs and equipment designed to work with their bodies, as well as guidelines for nutrition and injury prevention that are based in science and tailored to their lived experience. Yet too often the guidance women receive is based on research that fails to consider their experiences or their bodies. So much of what we take as gospel about exercise and sports science is based solely on studies of men. The good news is, this is finally changing. Researchers are creating more inclusive studies to close the gender data gap. They’re examining the ways women can boost athletic performance, reduce injury, and stay healthy. Sports and health journalist Christine Yu disentangles myth and gender bias from real science, making the case for new approaches that can help women athletes excel at every stage of life, from adolescence to adulthood, through pregnancy, menopause, and beyond. She explains the latest research and celebrates the researchers, athletes, and advocates pushing back against the status quo and proposing better solutions to improve the active and athletic lives of women and girls.

Christine Feehan's Drake Sisters Series

Five Novels and a Novella

By: Christine Feehan

Meet the elementally gifted sisters of Sea Haven in this collection that includes five full-length Drake Sisters novels plus a novella from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan. MAGIC IN THE WIND Ever since Damon Wilder sought refuge in Sea Haven, he’s heard the same breathless rumor so suggestive that it carries him to Sarah Drake’s cliff-top home. But Damon has not arrived alone. Two men have tracked him to Sea Haven, and into the shadows of Drake House, where Sarah hides her own secrets. And danger is just a whisper away... OCEANS OF FIRE A gifted daughter in a magical bloodline, Abigail Drake was born with a mystical affinity for water, and possesses a strong bond with dolphins, swimming among them in the waters off Sea Haven. Until she witnesses a murder on shore, and flees for her life—right into the arms of the Interpol agent who once broke her heart... DANGEROUS TIDES Dr. Libby Drake is sensible and practical. To her more adventurous sisters, she’s always been the “good girl”. Certainly not the kind to attract the attention of a genius like Ty Derrick—until a tragic accident leaves the handsome biochemist at her mercy... SAFE HARBOR Hannah Drake has been the elusive object of affection for Jonas Harrington for as long at the rugged Sea Haven sheriff can remember. If only the stunning super-model was driven by a passion other than her career. But Jonas isn’t the only one with desires for Hannah... TURBULENT SEA Joley Drake was born with a legacy of unexpected magical gifts, but it was the gift of singing that made her an overnight sensation—a rock and roll goddess trapped by fame, fortune, and ambition. Heated by the flush of success, Joley could have any man she wanted. But there’s only man who can give her what she really needs... HIDDEN CURRENTS After a long time away Elle Drake is finally on her way home to the small coastal village of Sea Haven. But when she fails to arrive, it’s left to Sheriff Jackson Deveau to rescue her from an unseen danger. But Sea Haven is no longer safe for anyone, and it’ll take the powers of all the Drake sisters and their men to survive the coming storm.

October 1997

By: Christine Sims

As the two main characters learn about each other through anecdotes and stories, younger readers will learn, and older readers will re-live, a time in our history before rainbow flags and gay pride parades. The story has conflict and drama, but generally there are more subtle curves than sharp angles. Despite the problems the characters encounter, including coming out to adult children and discovering and fighting breast cancer, they grow together, and the story ends on a high powerful note. I am sixty seven years old and I live between homes in France and Florida with my partner of twenty three years. We share the challenges and adventures of living abroad, traveling, and athletic endeavors with our two yellow Labrador Retrievers.

So Far Away

A Daughter's Memoir of Life, Loss, and Love

By: Christine W. Hartmann

Christine Hartmann's mother valued control above all else, yet one event appeared beyond her command: the timing of her own death. Not to be denied there either, two decades in advance Irmgard Hartmann chose the date on which to end her life. And her next step was to tell her daughter all about it. For twenty years, Irmgard maintained an unwavering goal, to commit suicide at age seventy. She managed her chronic hypertension, stayed healthy and active, and lived life to the fullest. Meanwhile, Christine fought desperately against the decision. When Irmgard wouldn't listen, the only way to remain part of her life was for Christine to swallow her mother's plans--hook, line, and sinker. Christine's father, as it turned out, prepared too slowly for old age. Before he had made any decision, fate disabled him through a series of strokes. Confined to a nursing home, severely impaired by dementia and frustrated by his circumstances, his life epitomized the predicament her mother wanted to avoid. So Far Away gives us an intimate view of a person interacting with and reacting to her parents at the ends of their lives. In a richly detailed, poignant story of family members' separate yet interwoven journeys, it underscores the complexities and opportunities that life presents each one of us.

Falling Into the Fire

A Psychiatrist's Encounters with the Mind in Crisis

By: Christine Montross

Falling Into the Fire is psychiatrist Christine Montross’s thoughtful investigation of the gripping patient encounters that have challenged and deepened her practice. The majority of the patients Montross treats in Falling Into the Fire are seen in the locked inpatient wards of a psychiatric hospital; all are in moments of profound crisis. We meet a young woman who habitually commits self-injury, having ingested light bulbs, a box of nails, and a steak knife, among other objects. Her repeated visits to the hospital incite the frustration of the staff, leading Montross to examine how emotion can interfere with proper care. A recent college graduate, dressed in a tunic and declaring that love emanates from everything around him, is brought to the ER by his concerned girlfriend. Is it ecstasy or psychosis? What legal ability do doctors have to hospitalize—and sometimes medicate—a patient against his will? A new mother is admitted with incessant visions of harming her child. Is she psychotic and a danger or does she suffer from obsessive thoughts? Her course of treatment—and her child’s future—depends upon whether she receives the correct diagnosis. Each case study presents its own line of inquiry, leading Montross to seek relevant psychiatric knowledge from diverse sources. A doctor of uncommon curiosity and compassion, Montross discovers lessons in medieval dancing plagues, in leading forensic and neurological research, and in moments from her own life. Beautifully written, deeply felt, Falling Into the Fire brings us inside the doctor’s mind, illuminating the grave human costs of mental illness as well as the challenges of diagnosis and treatment. Throughout, Montross confronts the larger question of psychiatry: What is to be done when a patient’s experiences cannot be accounted for, or helped, by what contemporary medicine knows about the brain? When all else fails, Montross finds, what remains is the capacity to abide, to sit with the desperate in their darkest moments. At once rigorous and meditative, Falling Into the Fire is an intimate portrait of psychiatry, allowing the reader to witness the humanity of the practice and the enduring mysteries of the mind

Now that she is back in Singapore, can she face her former lover and reveal the secret that has separated them for many years? Reviews: “Lim’s affecting, lushly textured historical novel... A fine, deeply felt saga of lives caught up in progress that’s as heartbreaking as it is hopeful.” Kirkus, 5 * Blue Star Review "The River’s Song is a startling work of brilliance that leaves the reader spellbound." kitaab.org “...just as the best novels should be but so rarely are: like immersion in a vivid dream.

Here is the buoyancy of sentences and a testimony of resilience.” Krys Lee, award-winning Korean author of The Drifting House “...powerful, deep and moving – draws you in and pulls you along irresistibly.

Dr. Cassel is unique in her ability to bridge the worlds of clinical science, health-care policy, and social ethics as she helps us think through how best to meet that test.

When her mother dies, Elizabeth Benjamin heads home to Key West, determined to transform herself into the perfect Southern belle her parents always wished her to be. But nothing goes according to plan. Her crippled brother resents her, the servants do not obey her, and Rourke O'Malley, the dashing man she vowed to forget, refuses to relinquish his hold on her heart. Worst of all, it becomes painfully obvious that her father is not the upright man he appears to be. As family secrets come to light, Elizabeth is faced with a difficult choice: to do her duty and abandon her dreams, or to leave her life of privilege behind to chase the man her father sees as little better than a pirate. From the first emotional page, author Christine Johnson throws readers into a world of impossible choices, hidden desires, and heart-melting romance in the steamy south. Readers will cheer for Elizabeth and Rourke as they battle the odds and the elements to secure their future.

More Than Friends

6 Contemporary Romances

By: CJ Petterson,Monica Tillery,Anji Nolan,Synithia Williams,Jennifer DeCuir,Christine S Feldman

What are friends for? In these six sexy stories, BFFs discover there's more to friendship than a few pats on the back and lending a shoulder to cry on when things get rough: Choosing Carter: When Bryn McKay's brother escapes from prison bent on revenge, she invites her best friend, naturalist and outdoor guide Carter Danielson, away on a weekend rafting trip to help her de-stress--and she wouldn't mind if things turned romantic. Carter is a recovering alcoholic who shies away from commitment despite his confusing feelings for Bryn. Then her brother shows up and they must flee for their lives. Will imminent danger prompt Carter to finally figure out where his heart lies? Sweet Texas Kiss: Gavin Cooper can't wrap his mind around why country music superstar Macy Young would end up inheriting his family home. Seeing his childhood memories handed over to the first woman to break his heart stings. Luckily, Macy can't sell the house for one year--plenty of time for him to find a way to get it back. Can a country star and a country veterinarian find a way to bury their animosity and rediscover their first love in the process? Desperate Obsession: Jake Fowler lost his girl, Alex Mack, to a fast-talking pilot, but now, as a special branch detective at London's Heathrow airport, he's discovered his rival is a courier for a terrorist organization. As Alex becomes embroiled in the operation, Jake must convince her that his suspicions stem from more than jealousy--before she's in too deep to get out. Just My Type: Janiyah Henderson enjoys her stress-free post-college life, but when her dad insists she can't handle a "real job," she's determined to prove him wrong. Her high-spirited ways clash with the conservative instincts of her new boss, accountant Fredrick Jenkins, yet attraction brews between them. When Fredrick shows Janiyah the man behind the numbers, she realizes she could be just the type of woman he needs. Wynter's Journey: Tragedy tore Wynter and Sam apart before he could tell her how he felt about her. Now fate has dropped her off on his doorstep, widowed, desperately broke, and very pregnant. His sense of honor dictates that he take her in, but soon old feelings resurface. Now the one person he'd wanted to leave behind is the one person he can't let go. Coming Home: No woman ever really forgets her first love. Callie Sorenson's was tall, tanned, and--as her older brother's best friend--completely off limits. But now fate has brought her back home, where Callie quickly realizes that old feelings die hard. Can Danny McCutcheon win over the woman she's become? Sensuality Level: Sensual

The Flower Hunter

The Remarkable Life of Ellis Rowan

By: Christine Morton-Evans,Michael Morton-Evans

Ellis Rowan was one of Australia's most accomplished artists and an incredible--if somewhat unexpected--adventurer. During World War I Ellis ventured alone into the tropical jungles of New Guinea in search of all 72 known species of the Bird of Paradise. Not only was she the first white woman to do such a thing, she was also 70 years old. The Flower Hunter is the incredible story of a woman who went to extraordinary lengths to paint her beloved subject matter, journeying to some of the most wild and inhospitable areas of Australia and beyond. On her death in 1922 there was hardly a household in Australia that didn't know her name. Sadly today she is all but forgotten, yet her work lives on in the 970 paintings carefully preserved in the National Library of Australia and in this, the definitive story of Ellis Rowan's remarkable life.
