Heartbeats

7 Medical Romances

By: Ruby Lang,Nicole Flockton,Kathryn Brocato,Katie Kenyhercz,Jillian David,Peggy Gaddis,Casey Dawes

Bitten by the love bug? Then these seven medical romances might be just what the doctor ordered. From emergency room meet-ups to high-stakes house calls, these delightful couples will discover love is definitely the best medicine. Acute Reactions: The man with allergies never gets the girl, but that may change for restaurateur Ian Zamora when he makes an appointment with allergist Petra Lale. A little romance just might be chicken soup for his heart. Masquerade: Sophie Franklyn and Alex Scavoni spend a sizzling New Year's Eve in each other's arms, reveling in the anonymity of a masked party. But when next they meet, it's in the high-pressure world of a busy Perth emergency room where they must work side by side. Georgie's Heart: No one would ever guess that plump doctor's office receptionist Georgeanne Hartfield is the secret author of Faking It, the new sex guide everyone's talking about. Then Dr. Zane Bryant joins the practice and makes her feel like faking it isn't the only option. But if he discovers she's behind the infamous best seller, will he believe her feelings are real this time? Fair Trade: A surprise trade to the Sinners gives Grayson Gunn one last chance at the Cup before he hangs up his skates, and not even the injuries that send him to the team's pretty new doctor will stop him. Dr. Olivia Parker's professional focus has lost her countless personal relationships. Could a shot at real love be worth risking her ethical code? Immortal Flame: After a horrific accident, Peter Blackstone arrives in Allison La Croix's ER and heals himself before her eyes. Peter, an immortal, traded his soul to save his wife, and now he will hunt criminals forever. Can Allison find a way to unlock his forgotten, passionate soul? Flight from Love: Nurse Brooke Martin can't believe her good luck when rich playboy Reagan Hollingsworth proposes, but there's one problem: marriage is a sometime thing to Reagan and Brooke is a forever kind of girl. Is love something settled, or a wild, passionate affair? California Sunrise: Dr. Raul Mendez finds himself drawn to plucky single mother Alicia Fuentes after he diagnoses her young son on the autism spectrum, but their blossoming relationship must withstand the political and very personal battles surrounding immigration. Sensuality Level: Sensual

Derived Intransitivity

A Contrastive Analysis of Certain Reflexive Verbs in German, Russian and English

By: David J. Cranmer

Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten [Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies from all the central areas of general linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the development of linguistic theory.

Psychosocial Treatment of Schizophrenia

By: Allen Rubin,David W. Springer,Kathi Trawver

Praise for the Clinician's Guide to Evidence-Based Practice Series "A major stumbling block to the adoption of evidence-based practice in the real world of clinical practice has been the absence of clinician-friendly guides suitable for learning specific empirically supported treatments. Such guides need to be understandable, free of technical research jargon, infused with clinical expertise, and rich with real-life examples. Rubin and Springer have hit a home run with the Clinician's Guide to Evidence-Based Practice Series, which has all of these characteristics and more." Edward J. Mullen, Willma and Albert Musher Chair Professor, Columbia University State-of-the-art, empirical support for psychosocial treatment of schizophrenia Part of the Clinician's Guide to Evidence-Based Practice Series, Psychosocial Treatment of Schizophrenia provides busy mental health practitioners with detailed, step-by-step guidance for implementing clinical interventions that are supported by the latest scientific evidence. This thorough, yet practical, reference draws on a roster of experts and researchers in the field who have assembled state-of-the-art knowledge into this well-rounded guide. Each chapter serves as a practitioner-focused how-to reference and covers interventions that have the best empirical support for the psychosocial treatment of schizophrenia, including: Cognitive behavioral therapy Assertive community treatment Critical time intervention Motivational interviewing for medication adherence Psychoeducational family groups Illness management and recovery Easy-to-use and accessible in tone, Psychosocial Treatment of Schizophrenia is an indispensable resource for practitioners who would like to implement evidence-based, compassionate, effective interventions in the care of people with schizophrenia.

The Legend of Paks

Earth and Shadow

By: David C. Smith

For the past five hundred years, the human Kingdom of Paks has been forged upon the ruins of a magical age of Magi. Bishop Kaiser is thrust onto the throne following the horrific murder of his parents. After years of its own wars, the Kingdom returns to peace, until a near fatal attack changes Bishop in a way that nobody can understand or explain. Bishops new and aggressive persona sends the kingdom into turmoil and reignites war between the sects. The young Prince Farren finds himself caught between the love for his brother, and war. Farren is quickly forced out of his rambunctious, adolescent ways and struggles to gain strength to save his friends. The danger is far greater than everyone realizes, and it will take help from some very unexpected sources for Farren and Commander Coal Lucer to avert war, and worse; the coming of a new and dark age. Just as it was beginning to be thought of as legend, magic starts to flow once again in the land of Paks.

Why then do some people emerge from the crisis with their faith intact while others give up on God, the church, and holy living? If God Disappearscomes alongside the Christian who is spiritually driftingâ€”or is on the vergeâ€”or knows someone who is considering leaving God and the church behindâ€”and compassionately empowers them to re-embrace their faith.

Chess Game of the Gods

By: Antonio David Hart

You wake up every morning, and you are the same person you were when you went to sleep, but in David Guy's case, you're a two-time loser trying to change the way the world perceives you. There are not a lot of opportunities for a man to make a change in today's society but when he is fatality wounded during a robbery, his life changes with the help of the gods. The different domains of the worlds are being threatened by those who were once favored among the gods as they look to free themselves from their place of exile. David Guy and the Commander have been charged with the task of denying them access to the innocent people of the worlds. They will face enemies from two totally different realms who search for power where there is only destruction. They will get to know one another as if they'd lived their lives as one and learn that once paired together, they will never be the same again. This is the Chess Game of the Gods, and their godly fingerprints are all over every life-changing event. See who has the best strategy and can position their pieces for the ultimate checkmate."--Provided by publisher.

Torch of Freedom

By: David Weber,Eric Flint

Someone is assassinating the leaders of both the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the recently liberated former slave planet of Torch. Though most believe the Republic of Haven is behind the murders, Anton Zilwicki and Havenite secret agent Victor Cachat believe there is another sinister player behind the scenes. Queen Berry of Torch narrowly escaped one assassination attempt, and a security officer from Beowulf has been assigned to protect her, a task complicated by the young monarch's resentment of bodyguards, and the officer's growing attachment to her. Meanwhile, powerful forces in the Solarian League are maneuvering against each other to gain the upper hand, not realizing or, perhaps, not caring that their power struggle is threatening the League's very existence and could plunge the galaxy into war. Once again New York Times best-selling authors David Weber and Eric Flint join forces in an exciting new novel in the Honorverse. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Immortal Passion

8 Eternal Romances

By: Holley Trent,Jillian David,Micah Persell,Danica Winters,Jaye Shields,Spring Stevens,Carmen Ferreiro-Esteban,Susan Blexrud

Love lasts forever in this value-priced paranormal romance collection featuring eight couples who discover that eternal happiness is the key to conquering evil. The Demigod’s Legacy: Demigod cougar shifter Tito Perez couldn’t protect his family in pre-colonial Tenochtitlan, so he won’t risk endangering another in modern New Mexico. But when December Farmer shows up to collect child support for a daughter he never knew about, danger of all sorts finds them. This immortal shapeshifter may have no choice but to cast aside his precious humanity and become the unflinching warrior he’s never wanted to be. Immortal Flame: After a horrific accident, Peter Blackstone arrives in Allison La Croix’s ER and heals himself before her eyes. Peter traded his soul to save his wife, and now he will hunt criminals forever. Can Allison find a way to unlock his forgotten, passionate spirit? Of Eternal Life: Dr. Abilene Miller is shocked when a dead man jerks back to life in her arms and infuriated when he kidnaps her. He thinks she’s part of a conspiracy; she thinks he’s insane. Only together can they find out the truth—and brave the risks they run in loving each other. The Nymph’s Labyrinth: Shapeshifting nymph Ariadne Papadakis must keep the truth of the nymphs’ existence far out of reach from American archeologist Beau Morris. But will the task force her to sacrifice her own happiness? Secrets of the Sky: Sparrow Reed might look like an angel, but she’s actually a witch who can change into a songbird. When her best friend’s problems drop Sparrow in an underworld fraught with threats, Rowen Aerion of the Knights of the Fog has his hands full trying to keep her alive—and his love may be her biggest danger of all. Embrace the Desire: Destroyer Payne can’t believe his good luck when his father, the lord of the underworld, orders him to take the lovely Chanta Timbers through her transition from human to half-goddess. Chanta is both drawn to and frightened by the beast that lurks under his skin. But only by defying the gods to pursue this attraction do they stand a chance in the coming war. Immortal Love: Bécquer is handsome, well-read, poetic, and … an immortal literary agent who exists on human blood. Not that it matters since his relationships are strictly business—until he crosses paths with Carla, who rewrites his script. The Gettysburg Vampire: College student Abby Potter takes advantage of ghosts’ popularity in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by inventing a vampire folktale for the annual holiday production. Problem is, her leading man—a history professor at the college and a renowned Civil War reenactor—is a little too convincing in the role. Sensuality Level: Sensual

Amanka Stories

Saving the Last Apes

By: Lou Grossfeldt,David Blissett

Amanka is a word from one of the languages used by people living in the rural north west of Uganda. It’s a beautiful, rich word that means ‘family’. Yet, in the forests and villages of this part of Uganda – and across much of tropical Africa and Asia – families are at war. In the narrowing margins between forest and farm, human and non-human, there is a growing conflict. A deadly conflict. The Amanka Book Project has been coordinated by writer, David Blissett and primate curator, Lou Grossfeldt. They celebrate our closest living relatives, by sharing the stories and experiences of the people who are working, fighting, and sometimes risking their lives to save them. The focus is on all ape species (gorilla, orangutan, chimpanzee, bonobo and the gibbon family). These are stories of sacrifice and courage and hope; tears and happiness; love and loss. In each chapter, Lou and David speak with people who devote their lives to the conservation and wellbeing of the apes. This includes scientists, researchers, caregivers, vets, filmmakers and conservation advocates. Many of the stories in this book have never been told before and will give readers a direct insight into the day-to-day heartaches, challenges and joys of working with these intelligent, sentient beings. ‘We wrote this book to raise awareness of the plight of our ape family and to share the stories of the unsung heroes who are trying to help them. All contributors have donated to this project and profits from book sales will be donated to various ape conservation and enrichment programs or projects’ - Lou Grossfeldt and David Blissett.

Death's Head

Death's Head

By: David Gunn

Set in a chillingly realistic far-future world, and featuring a gritty antihero even more frightening than the evil empire he serves as soldier and assassin, Death’s Head is sure to be one of the most talked-about novels of the year. David Gunn is loaded—and he shoots to kill. At the top of the galactic pecking order is the United Free, a civilization of awe-inspiring technological prowess so far in advance of other space-faring powers as to seem untouchable gods. Most of the known universe has fallen under their inscrutable sway. The rest is squabbled over by two empires: one ruled with an iron fist by OctoV, a tyrant who appears to his followers as a teenage boy but is in reality something very different, the other administered by the Uplifted, bizarre machinelike intelligences, and their no-longer-quite-human servants, cyborgs known as the Enlightened. Sven Tveskoeg, an ex-sergeant demoted for insubordination and sentenced to death, is a vicious killer with a stubborn streak of loyalty. Sven possesses a fierce if untutored intelligence and a genetic makeup that is 98.2 percent human and 1.8 percent . . . something else. Perhaps that “something else” explains how quickly he heals from even the worst injuries or how he can communicate telepathically with the ferox, fearsome alien savages whose natural fighting abilities regularly outperform the advanced technology of their human enemies. Perhaps it is these unique abilities that bring Sven to the attention of OctoV. Drafted into the Death’s Head, the elite enforcers of OctoV’s imperial will, Sven is given a new lease on life. Armed with a SIG diabolo–an intelligent gun–and an illegal symbiont called a kyp, Sven is sent to a faraway planet, the latest battleground between the Uplifted and OctoV. There he finds himself in the midst of a military disaster, one that will take all his courage—and all his firepower—to survive. But an even deadlier struggle is taking place, a struggle that will draw the attention of the United Free. Sven knows he is a pawn, and pawns have a bad habit of being sacrificed. But Sven is nobody’s sacrifice. And even a pawn can checkmate a king. Praise for Death's Head “The finest military science-fiction debut in years.”—Kirkus Reviews “Hardboiled, laser-blasting science fiction as it’s meant to be.”—Charlie Huston, author of Caught Stealing and Already Dead

By: David L.E. McGillem

Earth's final war in 2171 sends the remaining members of humanity spreading away from its home system. The Antares, mankind's last great exploration vessel, is lost. After nearly a thousand years, humanity has fallen into a constant state of war as the old animosity continues unchecked, and the race of men slowly descends into a selfishness where life and freedom are commodities. When the crew of the SR33 Trinidad finds the Antares, they must race against the forces that are arrayed against them. Running from the combined might of humanity's two galactic governments, the crews of the two ships struggle to bond as they repair the ship that is mankind's last hope to return to the path they have long abandoned.

The Escape of Sigmund Freud

By: David Cohen

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Escape of Sigmund Freud

By: David Cohen

The “gripping” true story of the founder of psychoanalysis—and how he made it out of Austria after the Nazi takeover (The Independent). Sigmund Freud was not a practicing Jew, but that made no difference to the Nazis as they burned his books in the early 1930s. Goebbels and Himmler wanted all psychoanalysts, especially Freud, dead, and after the annexation of Austria, it became clear that Freud needed to leave Vienna. But a Nazi raid on his house put the Freuds’ escape at risk. With never-before-seen material, this biography reveals details of the last two years of Freud’s life, and the people who helped him in his hour of need—among them Anton Sauerwald, who defied his Nazi superiors to make the doctor’s departure possible. The Escape of Sigmund Freud also delves into the great thinker’s work, and recounts the arrest of Freud’s daughter, Anna, by the Gestapo; the dramatic saga behind the signing of Freud’s exit visa and his eventual escape to London; and how the Freud family would have an opportunity to save Sauerwald’s life in turn. “Full of fascinating insights and anecdotes . . . Cohen draws copiously on the correspondence between Freud and [his nephew] Sam to paint a vivid picture of their complex and deeply troubled family.” —Daily Mail “An illuminating look at the end of the life of a giant of psychology.” —Kirkus Reviews

Electoral Reform and Minority Representation

Local Experiments with Alternative Elections

By: Shaun Bowler,Todd Donovan,David Brockington

Questions of minority representation have long plagued the U.S. voting systems. The standard election often leaves political, racial, or ethnic minorities with little chance of being represented. Race-conscious districting remains the primary policy tool used for providing representation of racial and ethnic minorities in the United States--and it continues to generate tremendous conflict. Can alternatives to race-conscious, single-member districts offer benefits that extend beyond simply providing descriptive representations of minorities? This study examines one such "semi-proportional" representation election system: Cumulative Voting (CV). For over a decade, scores of local U.S. governments have been elected by Cumulative Voting. This provides us with the ability to examine the effects of CV elections over time. Moreover, the use of CV in the United States allows us to compare politics in places that adopted CV to highly similar places that did not. Electoral Reform and Minority Representation shares evidence that CV elections can produce minority representation that matches levels generated with the drawing of race-conscious "majority-minority" districting. It also offers evidence that the quality of democratic processes in CV communities is in several ways higher that those under districts. Given America's growing racial and ethnic diversity, and given successful legal challenges that limit the use of race-conscious districting Electoral Reform and Minority Representation suggests that Cumulative Voting may be a better way to achieve minority representation in U.S. politics.

Atlantic Africa and the Spanish Caribbean, 1570-1640

By: David Wheat

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Atlantic Africa and the Spanish Caribbean, 1570-1640

By: David Wheat

This work resituates the Spanish Caribbean as an extension of the Luso-African Atlantic world from the late sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth century, when the union of the Spanish and Portuguese crowns facilitated a surge in the transatlantic slave trade. After the catastrophic decline of Amerindian populations on the islands, two major African provenance zones, first Upper Guinea and then Angola, contributed forced migrant populations with distinct experiences to the Caribbean. They played a dynamic role in the social formation of early Spanish colonial society in the fortified port cities of Cartagena de Indias, Havana, Santo Domingo, and Panama City and their semirural hinterlands. David Wheat is the first scholar to establish this early phase of the "Africanization" of the Spanish Caribbean two centuries before the rise of large-scale sugar plantations. With African migrants and their descendants comprising demographic majorities in core areas of Spanish settlement, Luso-Africans, Afro-Iberians, Latinized Africans, and free people of color acted more as colonists or settlers than as plantation slaves. These ethnically mixed and economically diversified societies constituted a region of overlapping Iberian and African worlds, while they made possible Spain's colonization of the Caribbean.
