The DNA didn’t lie. Somebody did. I always knew where I came from. The Schulz family tree was populated with conscientious, hard-working moral citizens. So why were these so-called cousins claiming my ancestors had secret babies one hundred years ago? I had to prove these allegations were false to protect my family’s name. Even if it meant traveling hundreds of miles to interrogate unknown relatives. Even if it meant finding a heart-stopping man who might be the perfect combination of genetic material from all our common pedigrees. His DNA would solve the mystery. His love would steal my heart. Part Historical and part Contemporary Romance, the Love Genes bridges the gap between generations born in two centuries using the science of DNA testing to reveal past assignations.
This comprehensive and readable text applies communication theories to the mass media with an abundance of current examples from journalism, broadcasting, advertising and public relations to make concepts clear to students. The new edition of Communication Theories addresses the ongoing changes in the mass communication field and the new developments in mass communication theory that are occurring as we move into the new millennium. A new chapter on cyber communication (Chapter 17) offers unique coverage of this critical new medium and an extensively rewritten chapter on media chains and conglomerates (Chapter 16) addresses key developments in that arena. The book is firmly based in the scientific approach—with its emphasis on observation, evidence, logic, and hypothesis testing—but now also features a discussion of critical theory and cultural studies in Chapter 1 of the new edition. Finally, the Fifth Edition features a new boxed reading program, which offers even more real-world illustrations of key concepts.
Yvonne Edison thought she was so lucky, dating a hunky high school football hero. She was proud to be wearing Dick Dunn's class of 1968 ring. She thought their future was college, marriage, and a family together. Dick thought his future was adding her V-card to his growing collection before moving on to corrupting college coeds. She supposed all innocent girls had rude awakenings. New-boy-in-town Randy Sparks made her forget her unfaithful first sweetheart. Well, almost. But did Randy adore her or was he more enamored with playing basketball and fighter plane games? Daniel Adams knew Yvonne only saw him as the boy next door. His twin sister, Debbie, was her best friend so Yvonne always tolerated him growing up. But one day he realized she had morphed into a stellar beauty and had his pulse racing and boys flocking around her. By the time he was old enough to get a part-time job and buy his own set of wheels, he worried that she may be permanently attached to some other fool. Yvonne sampled a variety of boys: the jock, the party animal, the hippie, the poet. But she wasn't finding true love like her baton-twirler girlfriends. Was it because she'd kept her boyfriends wanting more like a good girl? Or had she craved control too much to let anyone get so intimate? Teetering on the brink of fulfillment years later, a medical problem threatened her perfectly manicured marriage. There was a treatment for her malady, but as her husband discovered, it may have been worse than the disease. The serious side effects took a toll on their relationship. Her happiness kept spinning out of reach just like that baton she once tried to master. She would need all of his love and support to grab on tightly. Catch it Spinning is the first of the Twirler Quartet. The turbulent late 1960s and early 1970s provide the social unrest that simmers in the background even in a sleepy Midwestern city.
