Susan Anderson has spent the majority of her young life living on the outskirts of society in the small town of Cabot, North Carolina. Intelligent and naturally beautiful, Susan is determined to overcome her illegitimacy, the haunting death of her mother, and her subsequent teenage life in the local children’s home. Love finds Susan in the guise of Rick Pierce, a classmate from one of Cabot’s wealthiest families. Rick has blue eyes, curly hair, a tanned physique, and a controlling mother. Susan and Rick eventually fall in love, convinced they are meant for each other. But Rick’s mother is not convinced at all and secretly begins to sabotage the young lovers with lies and deceit, leading to their breakup and a secret Susan vows to carry to her grave. As the former lovers lead parallel lives eventually brought back together by a friendship between their children, a chain of events and confessions from unexpected players prompt a reveal of decades-old secrets, while others may remain forever buried. Meant for You is a story of hope in the face of lost innocence, deceit, and disastrous consequences as the promise of love and forgiveness precariously balances on a cliff of human imperfection.

During the 1930s, psychologists Gordon Allport, Gardner Murphy, and Lois Barclay Murphy emerged from the fields of social and personality psychology to challenge the neo-behavioralist status quo in American social science. Willing to experiment with the idea of 'science' itself, these 'rebels within the ranks' contested ascendent conventions that cast the study of human life in the image of classical physics. Drawing on the intellectual, social, and political legacies of William James' radically empiricist philosophy and radical Social Gospel theology, these three psychologists developed critiques of scientific authority and democratic reality as they worked at the crossroads of the social and the personal in New Deal America. Appropriating models from natural history, they argued for the significance of individuality, contextuality and diversity as scientific concepts as they explored what they envisioned as the nature of democracy, and the democracy of nature.
This book is a toolkit for youth and young adult librarians—school and public—who wish to incorporate science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) into their programs and collections but aren't sure where to begin. Most educators are well aware of the reasons for emphasizing STEAM—topics that fall within the broad headings of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics—in the curriculum, regardless of grade level. But how do librarians who work with 'tweens in middle school, high school, and public libraries—fit into the picture and play their roles to underscore their relevance in making STEAM initiatives successful? This book answers those key questions, providing program guidelines and resources for each of the STEAM areas. Readers will learn how to collaborate in STEAM efforts by providing information on resources, activities, standards, conferences, museums, programs, and professional organizations. Emphasis is placed on encouraging girls and minorities to take part in and get excited about STEAM. In addition, the book examines how makerspaces can enhance this initiative; how to connect your programs to educational standards; where to find funding; how to effectively promote your resources and programs, including how school and public librarians can collaborate to maximize their efforts; how to find and provide professional development; and how to evaluate your program to make further improvements and boost effectiveness. Whether you are on the cusp of launching a STEAM initiative, or looking for ways to grow and enhance your program, this book will be an invaluable resource.

Dr. Pandora B. Angel was a practicing physician for thirty years. She spent twenty-three of those years as an emergency physician at a university medical center and an affiliated hospital. In Elusive Equity, Empathy, and Empowerment, she shares the challenges she faced as a female emergency physician in what is still perceived as a male profession. Addressing the gender bias and inequality she experienced while striving for and achieving a career in medicine, this memoir addresses workforce power and control, double standards, gender bias, discrimination, the boys’ club, harassment, contrived narratives for predetermined goals, retaliation, disregard for objective data, and misconceptions. Through thoughtful vignettes, lessons, and appendices, this memoir explores the persistent culture of inequity in the workplace from Angel’s perspective as a female physician in a male-dominated field. Teaching tools and lessons are provided at the end of each chapter to stimulate wider discussions of inequality, harassment, bias, and discrimination that still occur.
Before they were Amazonian queens, they were simply mothers concerned about their children at the hands of man. So long ago, two children went missing: one a young teen witch and one a young fairy child. Missing and unaccounted for, unbeknownst to each, witches and fairies alike, it would begin a reconciliation, which was thousands of years delayed. Both witches and fairies, worried with grief, began a search for their youth, only to be met with the truth of their demise at the hands of the savage man. Neither people could have foreseen the unification of their world, nor could they have predicted that they would become the most powerful people of all the dimensions. And that they would call their most beautiful land and dimension Amazon, named after the place in another dimension, where the last talisman of the Great Elders Wall was found at the beginning of the age of the elders long ago. No one could have foreseen the following events that led up to the missing of the twelfth queen. And unless they find her, all the accomplishments theyve achieve since the brutality of the missing girls so long ago will be lost. While the search is on to find the twelfth queen and to find out what happened to her, time is running out as man has grown a thousand fold and is even more brutal, as they once were long ago. The highest of the all witches and fairies alike was the twelfth queen, and without her guidance, they are faltered, unsure, and on the verge of internal war. As they close their prayers with We are the time, and we are one! there are those around the queens table that worry silently if the twelfth queen is even still alive. And if she is not, their steadfast fears just may become reality. A war among the witches and fairies with man gravely on their very doorstep, threatening to destroy them both, would cripple witches and fairies alike. Separately, they believe man can defeat them, each blaming the other for lack of focus and an overall weaker spirit. And if this worried insecure reasoning grows among them, it could cost them everything. So her most cherished and dearest of friends, Dartilia searches and searches for her anywhere and everywhere, all in hopes of finding her most cherished and dearest of friends, Fayla. As she searches, she remembered all Fayla had taught her and how she came to be known as Fayla, gentle and cruel, however still loved by most, but clearly and urgently missed by all.
