Who would want to execute my brother? Branded as a slave by a wicked ruler, 17-year-old Camilla has just received a cryptic note warning that her brother is being hunted down for a crime Camilla knows he didn’t commit, or so she thinks… The Sacrifice of One is A Young Adult, Fantasy novel with a defiant heroine, and an oppressive reign so strong that takes two uprisings to tear down. The proof of Camilla’s slavery is on the inside of her arm. A mutilated scar has been branded into her skin, W for Warwick. Forced to labor at Warwick’s national farm for a pitiful payout, the only good thing in Camilla’s life is her best friend and big brother, Tuor. When Camilla receives a cryptic note from a stranger, she has to face the truth about her brother: He’s on the run. He’s in grave danger. And he’s being accused of a hideous crime. Camilla would bet her life that Tuor is innocent and that someone has set him up, but who? As Tuor’s demise draws near, will Camilla find relief in learning the truth surrounding her brother’s crime? Or will she accept that one must be sacrificed for the good of many? ★★★★★ ‘This story is compelling, exciting and a true adventure.’ ★★★★★ ‘You really need to read this adventure, it's full of twists & turns you don't see coming.’ If you like Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass, Kristen Cashore’s Graceling, or Maria V. Snyder’s Poison Study, then you’ll fall in love with Camilla in The Sacrifice of One.

The Bear Gap Rebels

By: Emily Fortney

The rebels are on the run, but a voice keeps pulling Camilla back home. Karla is on the hunt for blood- Camilla’s blood. The Bear Gap Rebels is A Young Adult, Fantasy novel with a defiant heroine, and an oppressive reign so strong that takes two uprisings to tear down. She can’t shake the eerie pleas in her head that tell her to return to the swamps, a trip that would risk the location of the rebels and put Camilla’s life in serious peril. Karla is on the hunt for blood- Camilla’s blood. After all, Camilla’s just murdered her husband, the governor of Bear Gap. At least that’s what everyone thinks happened. With time running out and Warwick at her back, Camilla must draft a winning plan that puts the rebels in control of Bear Gap. The alternative? Death or imprisonment for everyone she loves. Can Camilla ignore the incessant voice in her head and save the rebellion? ★★★★★ ‘Once again, Camilla and her circle of comrades lured me into their adventure.' ★★★★★ ‘Nothing like an exciting end to get us looking forward to what’s next.’ If you like Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass, Kristen Cashore’s Graceling, or Maria V. Snyder’s Poison Study, then you’ll fall in love with Camilla in The Bear Gap Rebels.

Making Our Future

Visionary Folklore and Everyday Culture in Appalachia

By: Emily Hilliard

Drawing from her work as state folklorist, Emily Hilliard explores contemporary folklife in West Virginia and challenges the common perception of both folklore and Appalachian culture as static, antiquated forms, offering instead the concept of "visionary folklore" as a future-focused, materialist, and collaborative approach to cultural work. With chapters on the expressive culture of the West Virginia teachers' strike, the cultural significance of the West Virginia hot dog, the tradition of independent pro wrestling in Appalachia, the practice of nonprofessional women songwriters, the collective counternarrative of a multiracial coal camp community, the invisible landscape of writer Breece D'J Pancake's hometown, the foodways of an Appalachian Swiss community, the postapocalyptic vision presented in the video game Fallout 76, and more, the book centers the collective nature of folklife and examines the role of the public folklorist in collaborative engagements with communities and culture. Hilliard argues that folklore is a unifying concept that puts diverse cultural forms in conversation, as well as a framework that helps us reckon with the past, understand the present, and collectively shape the future.

Now in its fourth edition, this highly popular text is the definitive introduction to consciousness, exploring the key theories and evidence in consciousness studies ranging from neuroscience and psychology to quantum theories and philosophy.

It also provides an opportunity to delve into personal intuitions about the self, mind, and consciousness.

Evidence-Based Policing and Community Crime Prevention

By: James McGuire,Emily Evans,Eddie Kane

This book addresses and reviews progress in a major innovative development within police work known as evidence-based policing. It involves a significant extension and strengthening of links between research and practice and is directed to the task of increasing police effectiveness in the field of community crime prevention. This volume provides an international perspective that synthesizes recent research results from the United States and other countries – including systematic reviews of large bodies of evidence – to illuminate several of the most challenging issues currently confronting police departments. It examines recent advances in research-based models of policing and the expanding base in outcome evaluation. Key areas of coverage include: Managing the nighttime economy. Supervising sex offenders. Tackling domestic/intimate partner violence. Addressing school violence and the formation of gangs. Reducing victim and witness retraction and disengagement. Responding to mental disorders, safeguarding vulnerable adults, and providing victim support. Leveraging public awareness campaigns. In addition, each chapter presents an overview of key issues within a designated area, synthesizes existing reviews, and examines the most recent research. The book clearly and concisely presents major concepts, theories, and research findings, thereby providing both conceptual and analytic tools alongside an integrated presentation of principal findings and messages. The volume concludes with a discussion of current directions in research, key developments in policing strategies, and identification of effective operational structures for facilitating and sustaining research-practice links. Evidence-Based Policing and Community Crime Prevention is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and other professionals, and graduate students in forensic psychology, criminology and criminal justice, public health, developmental psychology, psychotherapy and counseling, psychiatry, social work, educational policy and politics, health psychology, nursing, and behavioral therapy/rehabilitation.

Biogeochemistry

An Analysis of Global Change

By: W.H. Schlesinger,Emily S. Bernhardt

For the past 4 billion years, the chemistry of the Earth's surface, where all life exists, has changed remarkably. Historically, these changes have occurred slowly enough to allow life to adapt and evolve. In more recent times, the chemistry of the Earth is being altered at a staggering rate, fueled by industrialization and an ever-growing human population. Human activities, from the rapid consumption of resources to the destruction of the rainforests and the expansion of smog-covered cities, are all leading to rapid changes in the basic chemistry of the Earth. The Third Edition of Biogeochemistry considers the effects of life on the Earth's chemistry on a global level. This expansive text employs current technology to help students extrapolate small-scale examples to the global level, and also discusses the instrumentation being used by NASA and its role in studies of global change. With the Earth's changing chemistry as the focus, this text pulls together the many disparate fields that are encompassed by the broad reach of biogeochemistry. With extensive cross-referencing of chapters, figures, and tables, and an interdisciplinary coverage of the topic at hand, this text will provide an excellent framework for courses examining global change and environmental chemistry, and will also be a useful self-study guide. Emphasizes the effects of life on the basic chemistry of the atmosphere, the soils, and seawaters of the EarthCalculates and compares the effects of industrial emissions, land clearing, agriculture, and rising population on Earth's chemistrySynthesizes the global cycles of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur, and suggests the best current budgets for atmospheric gases such as ammonia, nitrous oxide, dimethyl sulfide, and carbonyl sulfideIncludes an extensive review and up-to-date synthesis of the current literature on the Earth's biogeochemistry.
