Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Have you ever read a story and wondered what you would do in that situation? Would you run into the abandoned house after the killer? Or run screaming from the scene to analyze the whole thing with your friends? Would you be bold enough to flirt with your crush—even though he has a girlfriend? Or would you quietly back off, in hopes of meeting a better guy to crush on? In Your Life, But Better, you don’t just read a story—you become the story. Take a quick personality quiz at the end of each chapter, and find out how you would act if you were confronted with the scene you just read. Are you star material? Or the queen of romance? What will you learn about yourself?

Millie, Daisy, and the Scary Storm

By: Danny Robertshaw,Ron Danta,Crystal Velasquez

Inspired by real dogs from Danny & Ron’s Rescue from the popular documentary, Life in the Doghouse, this third book in a sweet chapter book series follows a pair of pups hoping to find a new home together. Millie and Daisy are two bonded dogs who’ve been through a lifetime of ups and downs together. Finally finding safety at Danny & Ron’s Rescue, Millie settles in easily, while Daisy still feels anxious, especially during thunderstorms. A big adoption event for the rescue dogs is coming up, and Millie can’t wait. She wants to convince a family to take both her and Daisy together, so she comes up with a plan to make them stand out. Daisy’s not so sure she wants to be adopted though and thinks that while adoption may be right for Millie, living at the rescue is what’s right for her. But Daisy doesn’t like the thought of being apart from Millie, and she doesn’t want to ruin Millie’s dreams. As the big day arrives, will Millie and Daisy be able to find the right solution for both of them? Or does finding their perfect forever homes mean saying goodbye to each other?

The Initiation of Lady de Winter

By: Crystal McKinnis Allen,Carole McKinnis

How did a nice lady like Anne Audley become Lady de Winter, palace spy and arch-villainess of The Three Musketeers? Was she always a dangerous woman? Where did she come from and what is her story? The year is 1623. Europe quakes with dangerous ideas emerging from the halls of science and an unending holy war directed from the citadels of power. Lady Anne avoids political intrigue by living with her husband and toddler in the English countryside. But when a Vatican agent arrives on her doorstep with a scheme involving the king of England, Anne's life is forever transformed. Anne and her husband Harald, Duke of Southampton, are drawn into a Machiavellian plot to negotiate a marriage contract between England's Prince Charles, a Protestant, and the Spanish Infanta, a member of the most powerful royal family in Europe, Roman Catholics all. When the crown prince arrives in Madrid for the marriage negotiations, the Vatican agent presses him to embrace Catholicism, but Charles resists. As the prince continues to woo Princess Maria, Anne realizes the Vatican agent has given up hope of converting him and is instead twisting a more sinister plot into motion. She must thwart his scheme before the prince steps into a lethal trap. The Initiation of Lady de Winter allows readers a second look at this unapologetic woman who, in a world ruled by patriarchy, dared to be as strong as a man.

Access also includes practice questions, an outline tool, and other helpful resources. Connected eBooks provide what you need most to be successful in your law school classes. Professional Responsibility: Problems of Practice and the Profession, Eighth Edition, is known for its flexibility and adaptability to different teaching methods and student learning styles. The text is easily adaptable to a variety of teaching methods, including question and answer discussion of text and problems, role play, student presentations, guest speakers, and writing seminars. The book is structured to enable instructors to present the materials doctrinally or by area of practice. The extensive multifaceted problems provide instructors with a wide range of options for presenting the material. The authors have carefully crafted the text so that reading assignments are reasonable – typically 10-15 pages for a one-hour session and 20-25 pages for a two-hour session. The book offers three types of problems, each of which has a specific purpose in the student’s ethical education. The text and principal discussion problems are designed to help students develop the ability to make sound judgments for difficult questions of professional responsibility. Each chapter contains Rule Review questions that present multiple hypotheticals enabling students to understand the scope and limitations of important rules of professional conduct. Multiple-choice assessment questions at the end of each chapter with detailed answers help the students review major concepts in the chapter and prepare for the MPRE. New to the Eighth Edition: Length shortened by almost 200 pages, to focus on the most important ethical issues for two-hour courses, which are now the standard. A number of problems have been moved from the text to the website and are still available for professors who have used them in the past. More in-depth discussion of the duty of confidentiality, including comparing the scope of the duty of confidentiality in New York, the District of Columbia, and California with ABA Model Rule 1.6; examining the concepts of use and disclosure; and adding analysis of the “possession exception” to the duty of confidentiality focusing on the lawyer’s decision to take possession of such evidence and the distinction between tangible criminal material and real incriminating evidence. Coverage of a number of contemporary issues involving ethics and technology, including ethical propriety of a lawyer responding to on-line criticism and the ethical aspects of a lawyer’s use of artificial intelligence. Additional material on the obligations of defense counsel and prosecutors, including defense counsel’s obligations when advising a client regarding a competency defense and new problem material on prosecutors’ ethical obligations under Rule 3.8 dealing with evidence of a wrongful conviction. Revised material on delivery of legal services, including new material on removal of restrictions on the unauthorized practice of law, comments on legal services plans and delivery of legal services in criminal cases, and pro bono services offered by law firms. Post-2020 ethical issues, including the application of the crime-fraud exception to the attorney-client privilege and issues of frivolous claims in litigation involving the 2020 Presidential election; new material on Justice Department investigation of “pattern and practice” investigations of a number of city police departments; and scrutiny of financial benefits received by Supreme Court Justices. Benefits for instructors and students: Realistic problems that develop students’ ability to make sound judgments. Emphasis on guiding students to articulate a cogent philosophy of lawyering. Innovative, flexible organization suited to a variety of courses and clinical programs. Organized by major doctrinal concepts, such as confidentiality and conflicts of interest. Offers alternative organization by area of practice. Modular organization for professor choice. Manageable length. Extensive Teacher’s Manual suggests lessons, sample syllabi (for two- and three-hour classes), Q & A, and role-playing models. Multiple-choice assessment questions and answers located at the end of each chapter to prepare students for the MPRE. PowerPoint slides dealing with fundamental concepts and the basic problems presented in the book. Essay questions with outlines of answers on the course website that instructors can use for class discussion or student review.

The Circle of Lies

By: Crystal Velasquez

Four girls at a southwestern boarding school discover they have amazing feline powers and must unite to stop an ancient evil in the second riveting adventure of the Hunters of Chaos series. Ana’s life changed dramatically when she accepted a position at an exclusive boarding school in New Mexico. She found three great new friends—Shani, Doli, and Lin—and together, they discovered that they each had the power to turn into a wildcat. Their new friendship and powers were put to the test in a battle against the god Anubis and his newly resurrected Brotherhood of Chaos. After defeating the Brotherhood, Ana learns that her aunt and uncle have gone missing. Her friends are ready to help her find them, but then Shani is accused of vandalizing school property and expelled. While Ana and the others head to Mexico to search for her family, Shani travels to Mumbai to stay with her father. But strange things are happening in the Indian city. Has she stumbled upon another sinister plot? Meanwhile, Ana, Doli, and Lin have gone to Mexico to try and track down Ana’s family, and in the heart of Chichen Itxa, they find new dangers—and more proof of the Brotherhood’s growing power. With the four wildcats separated by thousands of miles, is this Anubis’s chance to rise again?

Salvation from Cinema

The Medium is the Message

By: Crystal Downing

Salvation from Cinema offers something new to the burgeoning field of "religion and film": the religious significance of film technique. Discussing the history of both cinematic devices and film theory, Crystal Downing argues that attention to the material medium echoes Christian doctrine about the materiality of Christ’s body as the medium of salvation. Downing cites Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu perspectives on film in order to compare and clarify the significance of medium within the frameworks of multiple traditions. This book will be useful to professors and students interested in the relationship between religion and film.

Hunters of Chaos

By: Crystal Velasquez

Four girls at a southwestern boarding school discover they have amazing feline powers and must unite to stop an ancient evil in this riveting adventure. Ana’s average, suburban life is turned upside down when she’s offered a place at the exclusive boarding school in New Mexico that both of her late parents attended. As she struggles to navigate the wealthy cliques of her new school, mysterious things begin to occur: sudden power failures, terrible storms, and even an earthquake! Ana soon learns that she and three other girls—with Chinese, Navajo, and Egyptian heritages—harbor connections to priceless objects in the school’s museum, and the museum’s curator, Ms. Benitez, is adamant that the girls understand their ancestry, and it’s importance. It turns out that the school sits on top of a mysterious temple, the ancient meeting place of the dangerous Brotherhood of Chaos. And when one of the priceless museum objects is shattered, the girls find out exactly why their heritage is so important: they have the power to turn into wildcats! Now in their powerful forms of jaguar, tiger, puma, and lion they must work together to fight the chaos spirits unleashed in the ensuing battle…and uncover the terrifying plans of those who want to resurrect the Brotherhood of Chaos.
