‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.’ When Elizabeth Bennet first meets Mr Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited. When she later discovers that he has scuppered the relationship between his friend Bingley and her sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy that follows, the family’s lives are turned upside down as Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and pokes fun at the affectations and etiquette of provincial life.
The incredible heartwarming story of the journey of love between a woman and her golden retriever Kelly Delmonico believes she is a happily married professional woman living in Upstate New York with her teenage daughter, Darcy, and her husband Deke, who is her business partner in their local family business. Their golden retriever, Ella, who is Kelly's best friend, unexpectedly dies. To combat the loneliness and grief Kelly suffers, she seeks counseling. Deke convinces her to get another dog. Kelly chooses an eight-week-old puppy, a golden retriever, that she named Joshua. Cracks in Kelly's relationship with Deke slowly become more apparent to her as she helps Darcy through her struggles with Deke and copes with her own longings and misgivings with him. Tensions mount after Darcy leaves home to go to college and Deke's behavior becomes more erratic. At first, Joshua is just Kelly's playmate and companion. As Joshua picks up on Kelly's growing anxiety and fears, he helps her to manage them. He supports her, watches over her, and protects her. Golden Love is a heart-wrenching and heartwarming story of the loving bond between a woman and her golden retriever, how they overcome adversity and find joy in their lives together. Humorous and shocking at times, Kelly and Joshua's gripping story will inspire. Their love for each other will warm every heart.
For first year students in tertiary leisure studies programs, both Leisure Studies and Social Science. Australian Leisure 4e provides an introduction to and analysis of a broadly defined concept of leisure.

This edition has been extensively reviewed and updated and includes new chapters on social networks, global cultures and events. Leisure is not just sport, or the arts, or outdoor recreation, it is all these things and more, including tourism, gambling, hobbies, television watching, entertainment, play and doing nothing in particular. The purpose of the text is to illuminate leisure and its place in past, present and future Australian society. The text is designed to lead students into the subject and provide pointers to more detailed study, through discussion questions and guides to further reading.
The Greenwood Guides feature small, owner-managed places to stay across the whole of each country covered. Each place has been personally visited by the authors, and chosen for its particular charm and character, and for the exceptional friendliness of the owners. Our approach is always to emphasize the atmosphere and how much fun it is to stay there rather than to merely list the facilities offered. We feature B&B's, guest houses, wilderness lodges, townhouses and even boat and lighthouses. All information is included at all ends of the price spectrum.
