Four Sundays Ago in Paris: A Susanna Sloane Novel brings back the street-smart and sexy securities attorney, Susanna Sloane. Recently divorced from Roger Howell, the Secretary of the Treasury, Susanna begins an affair with Jean-Paul Dillman, the President of the European Union while in Paris on business. At a reception at the Elysee Palace, Susanna is approached by the Russian Finance Minister. He asks her to travel to Moscow to help solidify an oil pipeline proposal between Russia and the United States. Unexpectedly, her ex-husband, Roger, joins the negotiations, while her lover, Jean-Paul, is representing the EU. Along with the Russians, they board an ice breaker on the Arctic Ocean to view the possible pipeline route. The lovers clash, and after a night of heavy drinking, Jean-Paul cannot be found. What really happened on the ship? Was it an accident, murder, or is Jean-Paul still alive? S. G. Kiner came to the law after successful careers in advertising, modeling, and a short-lived career in politics. She and her husband live in Palm Beach, Florida. Her next book is a fictionalized version of the Bernie Madoff affair. http: //SBPRA.com/SGKine

The Bookseller of Inverness

a gripping historical thriller from the double prizewinning author

By: S. G. MacLean

A GRIPPING HISTORICAL THRILLER SET IN INVERNESS IN THE WAKE OF THE 1746 BATTLE OF CULLODEN. 'This slice of historical fiction takes you on a wild ride' THE TIMES After Culloden, Iain MacGillivray was left for dead on Drummossie Moor. Wounded, his face brutally slashed, he survived only by pretending to be dead as the Redcoats patrolled the corpses of his Jacobite comrades. Six years later, with the clan chiefs routed and the Highlands subsumed into the British state, Iain lives a quiet life, working as a bookseller in Inverness. One day, after helping several of his regular customers, he notices a stranger lurking in the upper gallery of his shop, poring over his collection. But the man refuses to say what he's searching for and only leaves when Iain closes for the night. The next morning Iain opens up shop and finds the stranger dead, his throat cut, and the murder weapon laid out in front of him - a sword with a white cockade on its hilt, the emblem of the Jacobites. With no sign of the killer, Iain wonders whether the stranger discovered what he was looking for - and whether he paid for it with his life. He soon finds himself embroiled in a web of deceit and a series of old scores to be settled in the ashes of war. ****************** PRAISE FOR THE BOOKSELLER OF INVERNESS 'Fresh and intriguing . . . Her best yet' ANDREW TAYLOR 'Everything you could ask for from a historical thriller' ANTONIA HODGSON 'An intricately wrought, compulsively page-turning tale' CRAIG RUSSELL 'A first rate historical thriller' 5* READER REVIEW 'From the moment I began reading I was hooked' 5* READER REVIEW 'Hugely entertaining . . . fast paced, twisting and turning' 5* READER REVIEW

The Last Confederate Coin

By: S.G. Garwood and Dr. Jonathan M. Jackson

Historical fiction based more on fact than fiction. The authors captured the brutality bestowed upon the soldiers who fought America's bloodiest war, the War Between the States (1861 - 1865). The story shows the bravery of the final crew of the CS Hunley, the first hunter-killer submarine, and the tragic ending of the love between Miss Queenie and LT. Dixon, commander of the Hunley who died with his vessel after sinking the USS Housatonic off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. --Wayne T. Dowdy, author of the novel, Unknown Innocence, and volumes of other writings, including his most popular blog, "Southern Pride-Waving a Confederate Flag.

All those who bear their blood have been placed under a poet's curse: one by one they are going to die. Only Alexander is immune, his O'Neill heritage a secret from all but his closest family.

As he seeks out the author of the curse, he becomes increasingly embroiled in the conflict until - confronted with murder within his own family - his liberty and, finally, his life, are at stake.

Lucky Bastard

By: S.G. Browne

A radically funny, irreverent, satirical novel about a loan shark who is able to steal people's luck--perfect for fans of bestselling authors Christopher Moore and Chuck Palahniuk. Nick Monday is a private detective with a penchant for coffeehouse baristas and the ability to steal other people's luck. Politicians and celebrities. Lottery winners and game show contestants. Accident survivors and successful athletes. All it takes is a handshake and Nick walks away with their good fortune, which he sells on the black market to the highest bidder. But lately, business has been slow. So when the sexy daughter of San Francisco's mayor offers Nick $100,000 to find her father's stolen luck, Nick thinks this is his big break. But he soon ends up blackmailed by the feds, kidnapped by the Chinese mafia, and accosted by vegans and angry naked women with knives ... all while trying to save a ten-year-old kid with the purest luck he's ever seen. Hailed as "pitch-perfect" by The Washington Post and deemed "one of America's best satiric novelists" by Kirkus Reviews, Browne's masterful combination of humor and biting social commentary make for an irresistible read"--

Word Meaning and Belief

By: S.G. Pulman

First published in 1983, the aim of this book is to diagnose linguists’ failure to advance satisfactory theories of lexical meaning, then to propose the requirements that such a theory should meet and, drawing on work in philosophy and psychology, to take the first steps towards satisfying these requirements. It begins by discussing the work of Quine on the indeterminacy of translation and it is shown that attempts by linguists to answer Quine’s arguments by proposing universal ‘semantic primitives’ or their equivalents is unsatisfactory. The relation between the theory of word meaning and the theory of categorisation is explored, and an alternative to Rosch’s ‘family resemblance’ account of the ‘prototype’ effect in both nouns and verbs is provided. The author argues that identification of certain implicit categories like ‘action’ and ‘event’ can be related to principles of individuation, and builds on the work of Kripke and Putnam on proper names and natural kind terms. This book will be of interest to students of linguistics and the philosophy of language.

History Lessons

Teaching, Learning, and Testing in U.S. High School Classrooms

By: S.G. Grant

In this book, extended case studies of two veteran teachers and their students are combined with the extant research literature to explore current issues of teaching, learning, and testing U.S. history. It is among the first to examine these issues together and in interaction. While the two teachers share several similarities, the teaching practices they construct could not be more different. To explore these differences, the author asks what their teaching practices look like, how their instruction influences their students' understandings of history, and what role statewide exams play in their classroom decisions. History Lessons: Teaching, Learning, and Testing in U.S. High School Classrooms is a major contribution to the emerging body of empirical research in the field of social studies education, chiefly in the subject area of history, which asks how U.S. students make sense of history and how teachers construct their classroom practices. Three case study chapters are paired with three essay review chapters intended to help readers analyze the cases by looking at them in the context of the current research literature. Two concluding chapters extend the cases and analyses: the first looks at how and why the teachers profiled in this book construct their individual teaching practices, in terms of three distinct but interacting sets of influences--personal, organizational, and policy factors; the second explores the prospects for promoting what the author defines as ambitious teaching and learning. Many policymakers assume that standards-based reforms support the efforts of ambitious teachers, but until we better understand how they and the students in their classes think and act, that assumption is hollow at best. This book is a must have for faculty and students in the field of social studies education, and broadly relevant across the fields of curriculum studies and educational policy.
