Book Description
After losing his family, a young man saddles up on quest for justice—or revenge—in this Western by the award-winning actor and author of Pursuit. Life, not death, drove Jubal Young, but memories of his ma and pa, and his beautiful, bright sister are all he has left. Memories of the peaceful days before Jubal stumbled home with his .22, his blood running cold with fear, terror, and anger. When it was over, the homestead was half burned to the ground. Someone had to bury the bodies. Someone had to set things right. Now, as Jubal rides west into New Mexico, he remembers his family’s laughter and love, his pa’s wisdom, ma’s thick books, and everything that was defiled by a band of drunken renegades towed along by one man’s murderous grudge. A reprobate lawman won’t believe his story. A soft-hearted mountain man won’t survive Jubal’s one-man war. And a judge and his beautiful daughter cannot stop Jubal from climbing a peak of blood and madness: for justice, or payback, or something he can live for—or die for—redeeming . . . An American film icon delivers a great American novel with Payback at Morning Peak. Gene Hackman, whose fiction is “rousing” (Publishers Weekly) and “robust” (Winston-Salem Journal), takes readers on a powerful and historically dead-on western odyssey in the tradition of Louis L’Amour. Praise for Payback at Morning Peak “A worthy contribution to the Western genre. . . . A satisfying revenge tale. . . . Riding a trail of his own making, Hackman takes hold of the reins with confidence.” —Douglass K. Daniel, author of Anne Bancroft: A Life

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 You are the director of in-flight services for a major airline. You are responsible for 2,000 flight attendants who provide passenger service and cabin safety. The most important factor affecting repeat business is the quality of the service passengers receive. #2 The strategies used by two airlines to structure and lead their flight attendants illustrate two radically different alternatives for structuring and leading work teams. #3 The airline carefully designed a cabin product and in-flight delivery routines to achieve its ambitious objective of providing every passenger with such a degree of service that they were committed to the airline for their next trip. #4 The flight attendants at this airline were very skilled and experienced, and they had more than enough knowledge to execute the work. The company was able to be very selective about whom it hired.

Book Description
In postapartheid Cape Town—Africa's gay capital—many Pentecostal men turned to "ex-gay" ministries in hopes of “curing” their homosexuality in order to conform to conservative Christian values and African social norms. In Desire Work Melissa Hackman traces the experiences of predominantly white ex-gay men as they attempt to forge a heterosexual masculinity and enter into heterosexual marriage through emotional, bodily, and religious work. These men subjected themselves to daily self-surveillance and followed prescribed behaviors such as changing how they talked and walked. Ex-gay men also saw themselves as participating in the redemption of the nation, because South African society was perceived as suffering from a crisis of masculinity in which the country lacked enough moral heterosexual men. By tying the experience of ex-gay men to the convergence of social movements and public debates surrounding race, violence, religion, and masculinity in South Africa, Hackman offers insights into the construction of personal identities in the context of sexuality and spirituality.
