Maddie is happy to return to her small midwestern hometown to show her boyfriend Zac just how much she missed him. However, her visit quickly becomes a nightmare when her life is threatened by a mysterious driver trying to run her down. Soon, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies as she struggles to outwit her would-be murderer. Aided by clues from her dead sister, Maddie is forced to deceive her adopted family and risk her future with Zac. When rescue comes in the most unexpected way, can she forgive the secrets of a stranger willing to sacrifice everything to protect her?
When Maddie can’t avoid returning to her small hometown, she’s troubled by painful reminders of her twin’s murder when they were ten. And the familiar surroundings spark suppressed memories from their traumatic childhood. Zac hasn’t forgotten his feelings for his first love. Now, he’s got one chance at forever. But Maddie’s not sure she’s a forever kind of girl. Following clues her sister left behind, Maddie investigates the unsolved murder. Along the way, she discovers Zac is hiding terrible secrets about her family’s past. As she struggles to accept the horrific reality of her early years, she must face the most difficult shock of all: the identity of her sister’s killer.
This book translates the latest theoretical perspectives on the emerging field of Planetary Health Studies into the practical reality of global political decision makers. It builds on the scientific data on the impacts of environmental change on human health to propose practical methods for operationalizing planetary health. The book maps opportunities for decision makers to break institutional silos and engage with bottom-up approaches that can transform planetary health from a global idea into a local reality. The analysis frames human health in the Anthropocene, an era in which humans have become the most powerful force affecting global ecosystems, and reveals new existential risks for humankind.Departing from ongoing multilateral efforts to promote sustainability, the author’s analysis places the agenda of planetary health on the desk of political decision makers, still underrepresented at planetary health gatherings. Given the pressing need to implement sustainable development policies, the book presents planetary health as an overarching framework for global policy targets, notably the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the post-2020 biodiversity framework under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. The book is timely in offering a concrete road map for practitioners and researchers interested in transforming the concept of planetary health into reality. With a collection of success stories, the analysis dwells on tools for community engagement, opportunities for health professionals training, gender empowerment, digital health, and innovative ways to enhance human well-being on a changing planet.

This 1999 edition of The Neural Crest contains comprehensive information about the neural crest, a structure unique to the vertebrate embryo, which has only a transient existence in early embryonic life. The ontogeny of the neural crest embodies the most important issues in developmental biology, as the neural crest is considered to have played a crucial role in evolution of the vertebrate phylum. Data that analyse neural crest ontogeny in murine and zebrafish embryos have been included in this revision. This revised edition also takes advantage of recent advances in our understanding of markers of neural crest cell subpopulations, and a full chapter is now devoted to cell lineage analysis. The major research breakthrough since the first edition has been the introduction of molecular biology to neural crest research, enabling an elucidation of many molecular mechanisms of neural crest development. This book is essential reading for students and researchers in developmental biology, cell biology, and neuroscience.
