Praise for Savannah's Black "First Ladies" "The women [profiled here] are valuable role models for women, young and old, to admire and emulate. It should be required reading for any participants in a program working with young women in Savannah and the surrounding area." -Otis S. Johnson, PhD., Mayor, City of Savannah "I found it to be informational, invigorating, and inspiring. It gives me the courage to take the high road in spite of challenges." -Annie P. Wimbish, Ed.D, Superintendent of Schools, Hattiesburg, MS "These compelling stories are inspiring and will serve to encourage women, especially little African-American girls, to embrace their personal power and forge forward." -Bernetta Bryant Anderson, President, Hudson Hill Community The phrase "never been done before" wasn't a roadblock for the women profiled in Savannah's Black First Ladies, Vol. 1. This remarkable collection of short biographies recognizes African-American women in Savannah, Georgia, who were pioneers in their chosen professions. You'll meet educators, police officers, politicians, doctors, and others who went where no one had gone before; in many cases, their professions were closed to women. The trials and tribulations that these women endured to fulfill their calling is a true testimony of their perseverance and strength. They chose not to give up or give in, but to press forward and see their dreams come to fruition-and in so doing, helped open doors for the generations of African-American women that followed.
This short book provides a succinct account of changes in children's work and welfare in Britain between 1780 and 1890. It examines both the scale and the nature of child employment and the changing attitude of society towards it at a time when Britain was becoming the 'workshop of the world'. The further development of industry in the second half of the nineteenth century meant that the need for juvenile workers declined. At the same time the efforts of philanthropists and the State led to legal curbs on the kinds of jobs children could perform and the minimum age at which they could commence them. The author concludes that the century after 1780 saw a progressive lengthening of childhood as a stage of life, and that by 1890 children had been recognised as 'special cases' in need of protective legislation. However, for the poorest and most disadvantaged families life remained a struggle, and children continued to pick up a living where they could.

Raves for Romance by Pamela Burford: “Want to see true character growth, the healing power of love, what happens when you look below the surface? Want to read savvy dialog, good imagery, belly-laugh humor?…I feel very lucky that I’ve been introduced to Pamela Burford’s books. Talented writing such as hers makes up for so many lackluster stories on the market.” — The Romance Reader “Humor and romance under one cover! A delicious treat from Pamela Burford!” — The Literary Times “The characters linger in memory long after the last page has been turned … This one’s a keeper!” — WCRG on AOL Reviewer Board ◊ A delicious romantic comedy with a fun foodie twist! Rule Number One: Never mix business with pleasure. Restaurant reviewer Lina Holland learned that lesson by watching her beloved mentor self-destruct, and she's not about to make a similar mistake, even if the chef and owner of the restaurant she’s secretly reviewing is the most sexalicious hunk who ever seared a T-bone. It's not enough to be scrupulously impartial, she must avoid even the merest whiff of favoritism. Date a restaurateur? She can't allow herself to even think about it. Okay, she thinks about it, but that's all. Really! Chef Eric Reid is a widower struggling to raise twin boys and keep his fledgling restaurant afloat long enough for word of mouth to lift it out of the red. Little does he suspect that the intriguing new customer groaning in ecstasy over his bourbon pecan tart is none other than the legendary Lina Holland, the reviewer whose thumbs-up could spell the difference between colossal success and the extermination of his lifelong dream. No one in the industry knows what Lina looks like, but he's convinced she's a brash, zaftig shrew who applies her makeup with a putty knife. When he finds out how wrong he is, the fun really starts! Throw in a buttinsky roommate, a lecherous ex-husband, bribery by chocolate, and the fishing excursion from hell, and the result is, well, too darn hot!

Loin de son image de pin-up, Pamela raconte son histoire, celle d’un esprit libre qui rentre à la maison et se redécouvre à chaque tournant. Avec une prose vivante entrecoupée de poèmes, Pamela se confie sur les moments les plus extraordinaires et aussi les plus éprouvants de son incroyable histoire. Pamela Anderson, la naïade de la série TV Alerte à Malibu, était omniprésente dans les années 1990. Originaire de Vancouver, au Canada, Pamela a vécu une enfance difficile, durant laquelle elle a développé son amour profond pour la nature, peuplant son monde des animaux blessés du coin. En surmontant sa timidité naturelle et grâce à une imagination débordante, Pamela s’est finalement propulsée dans une vie de rêve, des plages de Malibu à la scène du Playboy Mansion. Au fur et à mesure que sa célébrité grandissait, elle s’est retrouvée dans les pages des tabloïds, à l’apogée d’une époque où les tactiques des paparazzi s’apparentaient à une véritable traque. « J’ai tendance à voir des diamants dans les morceaux de charbon de l’or dans le nickel. Je suis une alchimiste à attirer ces personnages fantastiques qui me détruisent systématiquement. »
