Small town life should be quiet - so they say - but David's Bridge has plenty of excitement for its one and only private investigator, Bailey Ferrol to handle. She dabbles in a variety of cases including a murder investigation. Even her "routine" cases like a background check on candidates for a job lead her down roads she'd never expected to go. Her job keeps her busy but not too busy to find possible romance in unlikely places. As long as Bailey's cat and sidekick "Eddy" approves of him, Bailey knows he's one of the good guys! This fast reading and clever book by author Pamela June Kimmell is chock full of fun characters and one can tell that the town of David's Bridge would truly be a most interesting place to call home!
At the end of the rainbow it is said there is a magical forest. This book contains short stories about some of the animals and insects in one magical forest presided over by a special forest fairy named Felicia. Each story is a fable containing a lesson to be learned in a fun and happy way. The author has done her own pen and ink/watercolor illustrations to accompany each story so children can see a picture of the various forest creatures as they learn from each other. The book is suitable for children of all ages. Since it has illustrations, small children enjoy looking at the pictures while an adult or older child reads the short story aloud. The book is the first in a planned series of fables taking place in the same magic forest at the end of the rainbow.
The first—and only—source to integrate the multiple disciplines and professions exploring the many ways people interact with the natural and designed environments in which we live. Comprising more than 250 informative entries, The Encyclopedia of Human Ecology examines the interdisciplinary and complex topic of human ecology. Knowledge gathered from disciplines that study individuals and groups is blended with information about the environment from the fields of family science, geography, anthropology, urban planning, and environmental science. At the same time, professions intended to enhance individual and family life—marriage and family therapy, clinical psychology, social work, dietetic and other health professions—are represented alongside those concerned with the preservation, conservation, and management of the environment and its resources. How rampant are eating disorders among our youth? Are AIDS educational programs effective? What problems do adolescents transitioning into adulthood encounter? Here, four leading scholars in the field have assembled a team of top-tier psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and other experts to explore these and hundreds of other timely issues.
