When one’s world changes, new paths must be found. Niar’s mate is assassinated and his leadership usurped by Krantos, a powerful enemy whose machinations doom Niar to transform and avenge her mate’s death. Niar has a terror of transformation and even if she survives, the child she carries within her—the rightful heir to the Novari throne—will be destroyed. Disobedient for the first time in her life, she flees to the mountains. There, while rescuing an enemy tribesman from death, the vial of pheromone she stole to stabilize her pregnancy is broken. Her only chance to save her child is to compel the rescued seed sower to be her close companion, hoping that his pheromone will allow her to carry the child through to birth. But in the jungles of Javari, dangers abound and it is there that Nair must face her greatest fear, alone.
A sweet feel-good second chance romance novel. A steamy version of this sweet romance was previously published as Home for Christmas under my pen name Susan Craig. That version is no longer available. Mac knew April Windham before she drove her car off the road during a freak Illinois snow storm. He knew her before she decided to leave Cedar Hill and return to St. Louis. And he knew her long before she fled her hometown to start over in Cedar Hill… Now he’s a grown-up single dad, but he’s never forgotten her. When he rescues her from her snowed-under car, all his adolescent hopes come rushing back, in the adult male version. He can’t get her out of his head, but she hasn’t recognized him. Yet. April Windham is done with chasing dreams or men. In the seven years since she left St. Louis, the developers who wrecked her career should have moved on. And if not, she doesn’t care. She’s shifted to selling residential properties and, when the opportunity arises, buys and flips homes. It’s time to settle down and make a life for herself, by herself. So, when a handsome stranger rescues her from freezing to death, she is grateful, but eager to continue with her own agenda. The trouble is, she can’t forget his eyes, or a strange sense of familiarity. And when he reappears in her St. Louis realty office, her emotions wage war against her wish to remain distant and unencumbered.

A comprehensive guide that includes a vast range of species and plant communities and employs thorough, original keys. Based primarily on vegetative characteristics, the keys don't require that flowers or other reproductive features be present, like many plant guides. And this guide's attention to woody plants as a whole allows one to identify a much greater variety of plants. That especially suits an arid region such as Utah with less diverse native trees. Woody plants are those that have stems that persist above ground even through seasons that don't favor growth, due to low precipitation or temperatures. Woody Plants of Utah employs dichotomous identification keys that are comparable to a game of twenty questions. They work through a process of elimination by choosing sequential alternatives. Detailed, illustrated plant descriptions complement the keys and provide additional botanical and environmental information in relation to a useful introductory categorization of Utah plant communities. Supplementary tools include photos, distribution maps, and an illustrated glossary.

Trauma Cinema focuses on a new breed of documentary films and videos that adopt catastrophe as their subject matter and trauma as their aesthetic. Incorporating oral testimony, home-movie footage, and documentary reenactment, these documentaries express the havoc trauma wreaks on history and memory. Janet Walker uses incest and the Holocaust as a double thematic focus and fiction films as a point of comparison. Her astute and original examination considers the Hollywood classic Kings Row and the television movie Sybil in relation to vanguard nonfiction works, including Errol Morris's Mr. Death, Lynn Hershman's video diaries, and the chilling genealogy of incest, Just, Melvin. Both incest and the Holocaust have also been featured in contemporary psychological literature on trauma and memory. The author employs theories of post traumatic stress disorder and histories of the so-called memory wars to illuminate the amnesias, fantasies, and mistakes in memory that must be taken into account, along with corroborated evidence, if we are to understand how personal and public historical meaning is made. Janet Walker’s engrossing narrative demonstrates that the past does not come down to us purely and simply through eyewitness accounts and tangible artifacts. Her incisive analysis exposes the frailty of memory in the face of disquieting events while her joint consideration of trauma cinema and psychological theorizing radically reconstructs the roadblocks at the intersection of catastrophe, memory, and historical representation.

What makes people learn effectively? What can we do to promote more effective learning?Innumerable researchers have studied these important and urgent questions, yet their findings tend to be fragmentary and disparate. Now Janet Collins, Joe Harkin and Melanie Nind provide the big picture.

These principles hold true regardless of the age or nature of the learner or the context in which the learner is working.Manifesto for Learning explains those principles and how to apply them, showing in the process how to make the vision of an effective learning society a reality.

As the foremost researcher in the area of correlating mindset with a variety of organizational learning factors, having performed a survey validation study of the Mindset Works, Inc. What’s My School Mindset? Survey and the Project for Educational Research That Scales (PERTS) academic mindset survey, the author has discovered links between the philosophical positions one holds and the theory of mind that describes what makes humans different from animals. This book proposes that the ability to recognize and respond to the differences between what we “see” and others “see” is the key reason for individuals, groups, and organizations to succeed or to fail. How we perceive differences and respond to them changes the way our brain develops and how our systems are designed. This book provides strategies for supporting continuous development and growth in individuals, in group dynamics, and in system/organizational development using the most current understanding and propositions of theories of mind. Our theories of physics are expanding through Newtonian, Classical, on to Quantum. Our technologies are expanding from simple tools, to industrialization, to digital information systems, and on to holographic imagery and virtual realities. Biological understandings have grown from magical beliefs about life, through static views of fixed DNA, to cloning, and the potential to regenerate organs and extend life. Our world is in need of an update on the social transformations occurring in human understanding that apply to addressing key issues of our day. This book revisits the concepts discussed in mindset theory and reframes it with a larger, more inclusive potential for understanding our world that empowers our ability for personal choice to improve our lives.
