The worst thing about being dead is the cell reception. The second worst thing is the view. I'd gladly take the inside of a dusty coffin over watching my very-much-alive wife crumble into a thousand pieces or seek help from a creepy wanna-seer or be won over by a bowtied lunatic who's everything I'm not-uh-wasn't. When you lose your keys, they tell you to retrace your steps. But when you lose your life, retracing your steps will only drive you crazy. I've been retracing mine for a year. And it's not a pretty sight. The haunted shack next door gave me a more accurate glimpse of my future than any tacky medium can concoct and it's only a matter of time. Moving on may be in my ghostly fingers' reach, but I'm thinkin' real hard about two things. Can I lay my spirit to rest losing my wife after I've lost my life? And heaven, hell, oblivion: are they really any better than this?

The rich and glamorous never need to sleep alone. At least, that's the theory. Gorgeous, successful, and pampered women like Emma Ronson and Simone Williams, the hosts of TV's hottest new daily talk show, The Beehive, seem to have New York--and all of the men in it--at their feet. But behind the scenes, it's a much different story. . . Emma left a career in serious journalism for daytime popularity, and now she's interviewing barely literate reality stars as she watches her credibility slip away. Even worse, she's also sharing the Beehive couch with Sutton, an aging news diva who's doesn't miss a chance to stick her claws into Emma for stealing her media mogul boyfriend. Simone, a Black American Princess and former teen model, is drowning in debt that her Beehive salary can't begin to cover, and her famous ex has just crossed the line from stalker to psycho. Caught up in a wild mix of cheating boyfriends, scheming rivals, velvet-rope catfights, backstabbing exes, and bloodthirsty gossip columnists, the city's most beautiful people are about to discover just how ugly life at the top can get. . . Kylie Adams is the author of Ex-Girlfriends, Fly Me to the Moon, Baby, Baby, and the USA Today bestsellers The Only Thing Better than Chocolate (with Janet Dailey and Sandra Steffen) and Santa Baby (with Lisa Jackson, Elaine Coffman, and Lisa Plumley).

ÔThis is a concise and nuanced overview of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). The structure is unusual. While the book reflects the state of the law with accuracy and sobriety, it nevertheless shows the idealist and philosophical ambitions of the authors. Legal issues are often discussed within a wider moral and ethical context. The authors add many basics on human rights and the enforcement of international law, which are not directly relevant for IHL, but ensure the reader understands the wider picture.Õ Ð Marco Sass~li, University of Geneva, Switzerland This book provides a clear and concise explanation of the central principles of international humanitarian law (or the law of armed conflict) while situating them in a broader philosophical, ethical and legal context. The authors consider a range of wider issues relevant to international humanitarian law, including its ethical foundations, relationship to other bodies of international law and contemporary modes of enforcement. This helps to develop a richer context for understanding the law of war and a sound basis for examining the changing nature of contemporary armed conflict. The book also discusses important recent decisions by international courts and tribunals, tracks the historical development of humanitarian principles in warfare and considers the legal position of states, individuals and non-state groups. Principles of International Humanitarian Law is an important resource for students of international humanitarian law and International law academics, as well as international humanitarian law practitioners.
