Firehorse

By: Diane Lee Wilson

Fifteen-year-old Rachel is furious and lonely when her father moves the family to Boston in 1872—especially since she had to sell her beloved horse. But in Boston she finds the Governor’s Girl, an injured firehorse, and begins caring for her and thinking about becoming a veterinarian. Then an outbreak of fires causes Rachel to question the ethics of her journalist father, and when the horses who pull the fire engines fall ill, the danger escalates. In a dramatic climax, the Great Boston Fire of 1872 is brought to life with cinematic vividness, and Rachel proves her grit and determination to make something of herself.

Arkansas Politics and Government

By: Diane D. Blair,Jay Barth

Published a decade and a half after the late Diane D. Blair s influential book Arkansas Politics and Government, this freshly revised edition builds on her work, which highlighted both the decades of failure by Arkansas's government to live up to the state s motto of Regnat Populus ( The People Rule ) and the positive trends of democracy. Since the first edition, Arkansas has seen the two-term U.S. presidency of a native son, the retirement of players who defined the state s politics in the modern era, the further realignment of the state s electorate, the passage of the nation s most extreme legislative term limits, the complete overhaul of the state s court system, and the declaration that the state s public education system was unconstitutionally inadequate and inequitable. While maintaining the basic structure of Blair s original work with its focus on important historical patterns and the ways in which the past continues to shape the present, the second edition details the causes and consequences of recent changes in Arkansas and asks whether they are profound and permanent or merely transitory variations in symbol and style. Jay Barth argues that although Arkansas currently expresses a healthier representative democracy than throughout most of its history, its political and governmental entities are still sharply limited as effective instruments of the people.

To Ride the Gods' Own Stallion

By: Diane Wilson

From acclaimed author Diane Lee Wilson comes another gripping historical adventure. Set during the height of the Assyrian Empire, To Ride the Gods' Own Stallion is an action-packed modern classic featuring a young boy sold into slavery by his father. A story of outsiders, self-discovery, and the courage to become something great. "Better that you'd never been born," his father had said. Soulai is not brave like his sister. Nor is he a skilled craftsman like his father. And when Soulai accidentally burns down his family's home, his father gives up. He sells Soulai into slavery for five years to pay off the debt. While working in the royal stables, Soulai meets a horse unlike any other—a stallion named Ti. Like Soulai, the stallion is owned by the spoiled young Prince Habasle. But unlike Soulai, the stallion is respected by all and thought to be marked for glory by the gods. Soulai realizes what he must do to escape his enslavement—befriend the stallion to prove that he's bound for his own land of greatness. Praise for To Ride the Gods' Own Stallion: "It's gripping, vivid storytelling."—Kirkus Reviews, STARRED Review "A plot full of...action...and intrigue."—School Library Journal "[Readers] will be rewarded with an exciting adventure."—Voya

More Than A Promise

More Than A Promise

By: Diane Boyette

Our lives are filled with unique challenges that either make or break us. Often, we find that on the other side of a "breaking," something new, strong, and incredibly beautiful emerges. It's like the phoenix that emerges from the ash heap. Such is the beauty found in More Than A Promise. Diane Boyette tells the story of how her brother and her family faced incredible heartbreak and pain as they encountered the many challenges brought about by her brother's lifelong battle with drug addiction. With three months to live, she shares the intimate story of how they walked him right up to his very last breath in his final life battle with lung cancer. This riveting saga of a family's painful struggle through drug addiction highlights broken promises and shattered dreams across more than four decades. Though difficult to see at times, threads of faith and hope are found woven into their lives. In the end, the power of prayer and forgiveness emerges stronger than the power of addiction. Addiction touches many lives in deeply painful ways. It can leave lifelong scars on the hearts and souls of the addict, as well as those who love him or her. These scars can be beautiful reminders of how God's incredible grace and mercy follows each of us day by day throughout our lifetime. God's promise of Barry's redemption is fulfilled in this story, but more than a promise is found in these pages. "Surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23:6

The American Reader

Words that Moved a Nation

By: Diane Ravitch

The American Reader is a stirring and memorable anthology that captures the many facets of American culture and history in prose and verse. The 200 poems, speeches, songs, essays, letters, and documents were chosen both for their readability and for their significance. These are the words that have inspired, enraged, delighted, chastened, and comforted Americans in days gone by. Gathered here are the writings that illuminate -- with wit, eloquence, and sometimes sharp words -- significant aspects of national conciousness. They reflect the part that all Americans -- black and white, native born and immigrant, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American, poor and wealthy -- have played in creating the nation's character.

The book provides a solid foundation for understanding the relationship between biology and clinical assessment; how neuromechanism relates to disorders; and the complex nature of behavioral voice disorders and treatment.

Demonstrations of vocal fold vibratory patterns, stroboscopic examples of various pathologies, and audio samples of dysarthric voices enable clinicians to apply concepts presented in the text. Highlights: Detailed presentation of the voice examination Evidence-based approaches that guide the reader through decision making and to the confident selection of treatments and therapies New chapter presenting the special considerations for treating the professional singer In-depth coverage of the laryngeal and respiratory anatomy and physiology--topics frequently omitted in textbooks on voice disorders Nearly 200 photographs and illustrations demonstrating key concepts Ideal for students in graduate-level speech-language pathology programs and clinicians treating patients with voice disorders, this multimedia resource is indispensable for mastering the philosophy and clinical management for the full range of clinical voice pathologies.
