UDH Collection: Books 1-6: A Devilishly Funny Urban Fantasy

By: Deborah Wilde

Featuring a snarky heroine, kickass action, and spicy romance, this hilarious urban fantasy sucker-punches you in the heart when you're not looking. At 10:47 AM, Nava Katz is given a magic destiny. Turns out it’s non-refundable. Destiny can suck it. Nava Katz traded a lost dream for an impressively cynical attitude. The one thing she does care about? Her hard-working twin brother. Then she interrupts his induction ceremony into a secret supernatural society, accidentally torches his life-long ambition, and steals his destiny. Wait—whaaaat? She expects to be chastised, not thrown into a trial by fire, battling demons to keep humanity safe while she’s learning to master her powers and facing her worst nightmare: a purpose. To add insult to literal injury, it turns out that evil fiends are a delight compared to the all-male hunters, who shockingly, are not cool with a woman in their ranks. They assign her to their most ruthless slayer: Rohan, a man whose inner demons earn nods of respect from actual ones. He’s pursuing his own high-stakes mission, with no interest in babysitting some chick that everyone expects to die soon. But Nava excels in defying people’s expectations, and besides, spite is a powerful motivator. So, she hatches a plan to bring her brother into the fold alongside her. Sure, it involves defeating a vengeful demon out for blood, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few bones. The Brotherhood wants her gone. The demons want her dead. First gig as a Chosen One and she's already nailing it. If you like KF Breene, Annabel Chase, and CN Crawford, you won’t be able to put down this laugh-out-loud, deliciously addictive series! Includes the titles: The Unlikeable Demon Hunter The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Sting The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Need The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Crave The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Fall The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Burn Join the non-stop demon-slaying thrill-ride now! “Don’t buy it if your offended by bad language, immoral behavior, lose ethics, sassy attitude, hot guys ... cuz it does it all - and its GREAT!!!”

Beekeeping for Beginners

Bees, Honey, Recipes & Other Home Uses

By: Deborah Malone

If you've been toying with the idea of keeping bees but don't know where to start, where to get the bees from, how to set it up, how to set up your beehives for optimal honey production, how to maintain the health of your colony and much more, keep reading… You Are about to Discover How to Start Keeping Bees for Honey or Wax, From Scratch, Even If You've Never Done Anything Like It Before! Bees are probably the most important insects in the world, not just for their honey and wax but because they play an important part in pollination, which means without them, we would probably not have the juicy fruits we munch on. It is no wonder that commercial bee keeping is said to add $15-$20 billion in economic value every single year! This probably explains why raising bees is quickly becoming more and more popular by the day- and it's not just because it is an interesting hobby, but also because it is one of the best ways to save, make money, boost your plant garden and still get the cleanest and safest bee products (honey and wax) straight to your table. And hey, that's not the best part. These insects are some of the most independent animals on the planet. In fact, they prefer to be left alone. It is more or less a set, provide optimal conditions for them to thrive by keeping off pesticides, and forget – the bees will fend for themselves and won't require any other input from you! And they will reward you handsomely for that with tons of honey, wax and pollinated plants! Yeah, well… all that sounds appetizing, but how would I get started? I've never done this before… You wonder? Good concern. You've probably also asked yourself this: How do I acquire the bees? How do I set up a colony? What do bees eat; how do I feed them? Is honey a profitable product? How do I avoid stings; can I harvest honey and wax without having to tolerate one or two stings? If you've been having such questions and concerns, then you need this beginners' guide to beekeeping. This book will take you through everything you need to know about this easy practice right from selecting the bee itself, setting up your colony, feeding them, avoiding common problems and selling honey- just to mention the least. More precisely, this book will teach you: The history and evolution of beekeeping, and what research says about the practice The different types of beekeeping The benefits and risks of beekeeping How to select the right type of bee and set up the bee colony The types of hives and how to choose the right one for you How to buy, transport and feed new bees What you need to look at as you inspect your beehive What you need to know about bee stings How to avert and solve common problems What you need to know about honey prices and market demand What you need to know about the colonies' activities in different seasons How to harvest honey and beeswax …And much more! So if you've been desiring to establish your own beautiful hives but have been a bit apprehensive about starting because you couldn't figure out how to do so without risking your money, time and life, then I believe you now have a better reason to get started today! Even if you are scared and confused, this book will alleviate your fears and give you the much needed confidence to get started and succeed at it!

Homegrown & Handmade

A Practical Guide to More Self-Reliant Living

By: Deborah Niemann

The author of Ecothrifty shows you how to life more self-sufficiently with her guide to modern homesteading―no farm required. Food recalls, dubious health claims, scary and shocking ingredients in health and beauty products. Our increasingly industrialized supply system is becoming more difficult to navigate, more frightening, and more frustrating, leaving us feeling stuck choosing in many cases between the lesser of several evils. That’s why author Deborah Niemann is here to offer healthier, more empowering choices, by showing us how to reclaim links in our food and purchasing chains, to make choices that are healthier for our families, ourselves, and our planet. In this fully updated and revised edition of Homegrown and Handmade, Deborah shows how making things from scratch and growing some of your own food can help you eliminate artificial ingredients from your diet, reduce your carbon footprint, and create a more authentic life. Whether your goal is increasing your self-reliance or becoming a full-fledged homesteader, this book is packed with answers and solutions to help you rediscover traditional skills, take control of your food from seed to plate, and much more. This comprehensive guide to food and fiber from scratch proves that attitude and knowledge is more important than acreage. Written from the perspective of a successful, self-taught modern homesteader, this well-illustrated, practical, and accessible manual will appeal to anyone who dreams of a more empowered life. “Dreaming of a mindful life? Niemann’s advice on gardening, cooking, orcharding, raising livestock, and much more demonstrates that it’s possible to begin the journey in your own backyard.” —Rebecca Martin, Managing Editor, Mother Earth News

Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening

A Beginner's Guide to Starting a Healthy Garden

By: Deborah L. Martin

When the inspiration hits to start an organic garden, many novices could benefit from a guidebook that speaks directly to their enthusiasm, their goals, and, of course, their need for solid information that speaks a newbie’s language—from the most trusted source for organic gardening methods. In Rodale’s Basic Organic Gardening, general garden-building skills (from "Do I need to dig?" to "Where do I dig?") and specific techniques (from "How do I plant a seed?" to "How much should I water?") are presented in growing-season order—from garden planning and planting to growing and harvesting. Many other need-to-know topics like soil, compost, seeds, pest control, and weeds are explained in simple language to ensure success, even on a small scale, on the first try. More than 100 common garden terms are defined, and Smart Starts sidebars offer doable projects to build confidence and enthusiasm for expanding a garden when a gardener is ready. A flower, vegetable, and herb finder highlights easycare plants with good track records. Plus, there are no-dig garden methods, simple garden layouts, and tips and hints inspired by the most popular page views on OrganicGardening.com. With a "no question is unwelcome" approach, a troubleshooting section lessens frustrations and encourages experimentation. Rodale’s Basic Organic Gardening is everything a beginning gardener (or one who’s new to gardening organically) needs to get growing and keep a garden going strong all season.

Law Relating to Animals

By: Deborah Legge

This book looks at animal law in a wide context and considers policy issues, moral and ethical debates, political ideas and economic influences. It concentrates on public forms of control as these make up the bulk of legal protection in this area, but it also looks briefly at common law controls. The book also examines European law and International law and it takes a comparative look at Australian law which has taken a different stance to the UK in relation to the protection of animals

Harriet Martineau and the Irish Question

Condition of Post-Famine Ireland

By: Deborah Anna Logan

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Harriet Martineau and the Irish Question

Condition of Post-Famine Ireland

By: Deborah Anna Logan

Aside from Letters from Ireland and Endowed Schools of Ireland, Harriet Martineau wrote an additional thirty-eight articles about Ireland for London's Daily News between 1852 and 1866, plus another thirteen articles for Household Words, Atlantic Monthly, Once a Week, Westminster Review, and New York Evening Post. It is those uncollected articles that are the focus of this study and that compliment her earlier work by providing subsequent commentary on Ireland's post-famine, reconstruction period. Whereas Letters from Ireland (1852) is a structured, sociological travel memoir meant for both periodical and volume publication, and Endowed Schools (1858)addresses a specific aspect of Irish education reform, these articles chart the course of economic and social progress in post-famine Ireland in terms of industry, public works, economy, and agriculture. They also record the growth of Irish nationalism in America and Ireland, while exploring the question of Ireland's political representation during this crucial pre-independence period. Points highlighted in this study include Martineau's unshakeable optimism about the economic and social recovery of post-famine Ireland, her steady refusal to consider repeal of the Union as a viable option for remedying Ireland's troubles, and her insistence that Ireland's problems were social, not political. Treating social issues as the primary ailment and politics as merely a symptom, Martineau's writing on these topics provides important insights into the challenges facing Ireland during its transition from a feudal society to a modern, independent nation during the period of the British Empire's greatest expansion and swift demise. There are five components comprising her writing on Ireland: Ireland (Illustrations of Political Economy, 1832); History of the Peace, 1849-51; Letters from Ireland (1852); Endowed Schools of Ireland (1858); and the "Condition of Post-famine Ireland" (1852-66). It is the latter that is the focus of this volume.

The Unlikeable Demon Hunter: Need: A Devilishly Funny Urban Fantasy

By: Deborah Wilde

Featuring a snarky heroine, kickass action, and spicy romance, this hilarious urban fantasy sucker-punches you in the heart when you're not looking. Nava Katz has a lot on her plate: Brotherhood: unmask. Demons: slaughter. Guy problems: terminate with extreme prejudice. Nava is hot on the heels of a demonic serial killer and finally working with her brother. The assignment should be a dream come true, not a nightmarish power struggle made worse by her twin's refusal to believe there's corruption within the Brotherhood. She's determined to find proof of their dirty dealings, even as she risks irrefutably breaking her sibling bond. And speaking of clocking annoying males upside the head... Nava is also totally over smoking hot rock star and fellow hunter Rohan Mitra. There is a veritable buffet of boy options out there, and this girl is now all-you-can-eat. So when her demon hunt brings her first love, Cole, back into her life, her revenge fantasies for closure—on all fronts—are a go. Except neither her old wounds nor her new ones are as healed as she believes. It’s less "Hopelessly Devoted," more "Worse Things I Could Do." If you like KF Breene, Annabel Chase, and CN Crawford, you won’t be able to put down this laugh-out-loud, deliciously addictive series! Fall into bed with a demon hunter and read all night.

Elections A to Z

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Elections A to Z

By: Deborah Kalb

Elections A to Z is a highly respected legacy title that has long been a staple in the CQ Press reference list. It provides readers with ready reference insight into how campaigns and elections, the hallmark of any democracy, are conducted in the United States. The new fifth edition has been redesigned and updated with new entries covering the vital current elections topics that readers want to know about, especially given the focus on elections over the past year, and the resulting threat to American democracy. Entries range from short definitions of terms such as "at-large" and "front-runner" to in-depth essays exploring vital aspects of campaigns and elections, such as the right to vote, turnout trends, and the history, evolution, and current state of House, Senate, presidential, and some state-level elections. As with the prior edition, coverage will continue to entail the stages in the campaign process and the general election; the roles of political consultants, the media, and political parties; debates around term limits, majority-minority districts, and campaign finance; amendments, legislation, and court cases that have shaped electoral, campaign, and voting matters; voter turnout and voting rights in the United States; and highlights of presidential elections throughout U.S. history. Since the last edition published in 2012, there are many pertinent topics and events to explore from recent years, especially surrounding the 2020 elections. New to this edition will be entries discussing social media and communication, political and racial gerrymandering, districting and disenfranchisement, absentee and mail-in voting, new and revised state-by-state election and voter laws, foreign interference and misinformation campaigns, election-related violence, and minority and diverse group candidates and voter participation. Additionally, the book will address recent SCOTUS decisions that have impacted election law, including Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010), Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc. (2013), Shelby County, Alabama, v. Holder, Attorney General (2013), McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission (2014), Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (2015), Harris v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (2016), Husted, Ohio Secretary of State v. A. Philip Randolph Institute (2018), Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky (2018), Gill v. Whitford (2018), Abbott, Governor of Texas v. Perez (2018), Virginia House of Delegates v. Bethune-Hill (2019), Rucho v. Common Cause (2019), Colorado Department of State v. Baca (2020), Chiafalo v. Washington (2020), and Texas v. Pennsylvania (2020). The proposed update to Elections A to Z will reflect these changes as it captures an undergraduate-level audience that understands the basics of campaigns and elections but is seeking an understanding of related topics, trends, and current events.

Stupid about Men

10 Rules for Getting Romance Right

By: Deborah Dunn

Tired of Kissing Frogs? Even the most capable and intelligent women are sometimes struck stupid when it comes to relationships with men. Maybe you're like Cinderella, who thinks that only a man can rescue her; or perhaps you are like Little Red Riding Hood, always attracted to "bad boys"; or maybe you find yourself simply settling, like Rapunzel, because you don't believe you can do any better. And somehow, you always end up kissing frogs. No matter what kind of "stupid" you are, licensed marriage and family therapist Deborah Dunn will show you why you keep making the same mistakes with men, and will empower you to take control of who you are and become smart about life.

Representing the Family

By: Deborah Chambers

Looking at how the family is represented by the media, and by scrutinizing the manner in which it is regulated, this book uncovers the ways in which academic research and welfare policy have colluded with political rhetoric and the popular media to re-invent a mythical ideal family. Representing the Family: combines perspectives from a range of theories including media and cultural studies, sociology, and social history to show how certain types of family life are pathologised; highlights the discrepancies between contemporary representations of the "ideal" family and lived experience; and compares the British experience with that of the United States and Australia.

The Jezebel Files Collection: Books 1-4: A Snarky Urban Fantasy Detective Series

By: Deborah Wilde

Featuring an enemies-to-lovers romance and a savvy female P.I., this laugh-out-loud urban fantasy will keep you up all night. "Wilde combines hardboiled noir and Jewish folklore in this action-packed, perfectly paced paranormal romp… This giddy, sexy series… is a delight.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Missing teens. Impossible magic. And the sexy nemesis who might drive her to murder. Ashira Cohen takes great pride in the detective agency she’s built from scratch. It may be small, but she harbors big dreams of becoming a renowned sleuth. Thing is, a modern-day Sherlock Holmes wouldn’t let her stakeout go sideways. Or find a mysterious tattoo hidden on her scalp. Or discover it’s a now-broken ward that was suppressing dangerous magic she had no idea she possessed. Don’t even get her started on the golem. The only bright spot is that her new unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the irritatingly hot leader of the magic community. No, right… that’s a bad thing. One word from him revealing her forbidden abilities and she’ll be locked up for life, with everything she’s built taken from her by force. Definitely a bad thing. Except… It seems Levi requires her unique set of skills to solve a spree of abductions. This is her shot. Sure, there’s a sinister supernatural organization pulling strings from the shadows, but Ash is positive she can rescue the captives, uncover the truth, and take her career to a new level. Plus, after years of being underestimated by Levi, it’s Ash’s chance at payback. And she’s going to relish bringing him to his knees. If you like KF Breene, Annabel Chase, and Heather G Harris, you’ll burn through this clever, fast-paced series! Includes the titles: Blood & Ash (The Jezebel Files, #1) Death & Desire (The Jezebel Files, #2) Shadows & Surrender (The Jezebel Files, #3) Revenge & Rapture (The Jezebel Files, #4) Join the investigation now!

Women, Horseracing and Gender

Becoming 'One of the Lads'

Women, Horseracing and Gender

Becoming 'One of the Lads'

By: Deborah Butler

How do the class and gender inequalities found in horseracing affect the working practices of women within the industry? Drawing on the work of Bourdieu and his concepts of field, capital and habitus, this book shows the inequalities that are prevalent within the world of racing, both historically and currently, by illustrating the classed and gendered nature of racing and how it has developed since the eighteenth century when it was the sport of the aristocracy. Using research obtained through her year-long ethnographic study of a racing yard, Deborah Butler demonstrates that the racing field is an arena of power conflicts, and that men and women who work in racing acquire a contradictorily gendered racing habitus. This is achieved by learning certain elements in a formal setting but mainly informally, by ‘doing’, developing practical skills and participating in a (gendered) community of practice. For female stable staff this means adapting their behaviour and working practices in order to be accepted as ‘one of the lads’. This book will appeal to both scholars and students of the sociology of sport, the sociology of work and gender studies.

I Only Say This Because I Love You

Talking to Your Parents, Partner, Sibs, and Kids When You're All Adults

By: Deborah Tannen

Why does talk in families so often go in circles, leaving us tied up in knots? In this illuminating book, Deborah Tannen, the linguist and and bestselling author of You Just Don't Understand and many other books, reveals why talking to family members is so often painful and problematic even when we're all adults. Searching for signs of acceptance and belonging, we find signs of disapproval and rejection. Why do the seeds of family love so often yield a harvest of criticism and judgment? In I Only Say This Because I Love You, Tannen shows how important it is, in family talk, to learn to separate word meanings, or messages, from heart meanings, or metamessages —unstated but powerful meanings that come from the history of our relationships and the way things are said. Presenting real conversations from people's lives, Tannen reveals what is actually going on in family talk, including how family conversations must balance the longing for connection with the desire for control, as we struggle to be close without giving up our freedom. This eye-opening book explains why grown women so often feel criticized by their mothers; and why mothers feel they can't open their mouths around their grown daughters; why growing up male or female, or as an older or younger sibling, results in different experiences of family that persist throughout our lives; and much, much more. By helping us to understand and redefine family talk, Tannen provides the tools to improve relationships with family members of every age.
