Book Description
Todd's the best in the league and model-perfect. Damn shame he's not gay...or is he? Dating Todd "Pretty" Carty is a trailblazing, headline-grabbing ride that has shocked and divided a team, a sport and a nation. While controversy rules, our feelings explode and we can't deny the desire that sizzles between us. Nothing, however, is easy outside the bedroom. Not when my world-class, fearless athlete wants to shout from Everest that he's in love with a man. Laying my heart on the line and having my picture dominating the papers is worth it, though. Everything about Todd turns me on. His bold hockey skills, his courageous attitude and the way he melts in my arms when I kiss him. I melt, too, because he knows how to press my buttons and remind me of the man I used to be, and he takes me to those places where ecstasy rules. The world might have trouble accepting us, but we're committed to each other, mind, body and soul, and nothing can change that.

Book Description
"If you are not already a Steven Pinker addict, this book will make you one." -- Jared Diamond In Words and Rules, Steven Pinker explores profound mysteries of language by picking a deceptively simple phenomenon -- regular and irregular verbs -- and examining it from every angle. With humor and verve, he covers an astonishing array of topics in the sciences and humanities, from the history of languages to how to simulate languages on computers to major ideas in the history of Western philosophy. Through it all, Pinker presents a single, powerful idea: that language comprises a mental dictionary of memorized words and a mental grammar of creative rules. The idea extends beyond language and offers insight into the very nature of the human mind. This is a sparkling, eye-opening, and utterly original book by one of the world's leading cognitive scientists.

Book Description
This is the first time in American history that we have had four different generations working side-by-side in the workplace: the Traditionalists (born before 1945), the Baby Boomers (born 1945-1964), Gen X (born 1965-1980), and the Millennials (born 1981-2001). Haydn Shaw, popular business speaker and generational expert, has identified 12 places where the 4 generations typically come apart in the workplace (and in life as well). These sticking points revolve around differing attitudes toward managing one’s own time, texting, social media, organizational structure, and of course, clothing preferences. If we don’t learn to work together and stick together around these 12 sticking points, then we’ll be wasting a lot of time fighting each other instead of enjoying a friendly and productive team. Sticking Points is a must-read book that will help you understand the generational differences you encounter while teaching how we can learn to speak one another’s language and get better results together.

Book Description
In the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, the abortion issue became the most important blood test for political candidates. Those who didn't follow the party line on this issue had little or no chance to win their party's endorsement. Anyone seeking middle ground was caught in the crossfire. Time to Choose is a novel of romance in the middle of the crossfire. A story about the many choices we make personal and professional, why and how we make them, and the consequences of those choices. Former state senator Michael Burke returns to the State Capitol after a ten year absence, to attend the funeral of a former colleague and close friend. The funeral evokes memories of bittersweet years in politics. Exhilarating victories, and crushing losses. He's reminded that he left the turbulent political arena for a more stable and balanced life, one with time and energy for his children. But after meeting an intriguing new candidate for the Senate, Dr. Patricia Culligan, he breaks a vow: never to go back to politics. Michael Burke's return to the battleground forces him to confront his past, and understand how his choices caused harm to himself and others. And how accepting this can be a prelude to moving on with his life.

Book Description
This book proposes a radical alternative to dominant views of the evolution of language, in particular the origins of syntax. The authors draw on evidence from areas such as primatology, anthropology, and linguistics to present a groundbreaking account of the notion that language emerged through visible bodily action. Written in a clear and accessible style, Gesture and the Nature of Language will be indispensable reading for all those interested in the origins of language.

Book Description
Barry Melrose's life is hockey. From the time he was old enought to skate, he knew it's what he was meant to do. Growing up in Kelvington, Saskatchewan, he was one of a generation of future NHLers that included Wendel Clark, Bernie Federko, and the Kocur brothers. He fought his way through the Canadian minor league system, eventually getting drafted by the Montreal Canadiens. But Melrose chose instead to play for the WHA's Cincinnati Stingers, beginning a professional career that saw him sent up and down, between the big leagues and the minors, before ending his playing career as a player coach in the AHL. As a coach, he saw success at every level, winning a Memorial Cup, a Calder Cup, and reaching the Stanley Cup Final as coach of the LA Kings. Dropping the Gloves shares Barry's years of experience. He explains the psychology of the game, the inner workings of the locker room, and how many different elements are required to create a winnning team.Told in the same plain-spoken style that has made him ESPN's best-known hockey commentator, Dropping the Gloves is a fantastic compendium of hockey knowledge.
