Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Cheyenne McCray sets the night on fire in her blazing-hot Night Tracker series—where the fangs come out when the sun goes down... Vampire attacks are on the rise in the city that never sleeps. So why is half-human, half-Drow private eye Nyx tracking down Sprites? Sure, these "young bloods" are causing mischief all over town—like painting the Statue of Liberty's toenails neon pink. But it's not until Nyx finds herself at the Pit, Manhattan's hottest nightclub for paranorms, that she understands what she's really up against... Seems Master Vampire Volod has a plan—and the Sprites are in on it. By targeting the weaknesses of every paranorm in the city, from Elves to Shifters to Zombies, Volod and his fang gang aim to rule the night once and for all. Over Nyx's dead body. She loves a good challenge—and she will seduce danger at every turn to throw Volod off course. It's time for Nyx to enter the beating heart of this dark conspiracy...before driving a stake through it.

Not Invited to the Party
Author: James T. Bennett
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441903666
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Not Invited to the Party demonstrates how the dominant political parties--the Democrats and Republicans--have co-opted the system to their advantage. James Bennett examines the history and array of laws, regulations, subsidies and programs that benefit the two major parties and discourage even the possibility of a serious challenge to the Democrat-Republican duopoly. The American Founders, as it has been generally forgotten, distrusted political parties. Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution are parties mentioned, much less given legal protection or privilege. This provocative book traces how by the end of the Civil War the Republicans and Democrats had guaranteed their dominance and subsequently influenced a range of policies developed to protect the duopoly. For example, Bennett examines how the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (as amended in 1974 and 1976), which was sold to the public as a nonpartisan act of good government reformism actually reinforced the dominance of the two parties. While focused primarily on the American experience, the book also considers the prevalence of two-party systems around the world (especially in emerging democracies) and the widespread contempt with which they are often viewed. Featuring incisive commentary on the 2008 election, and a foreword by third-party iconoclast, Ralph Nader, the book considers the potential of truly radical reform toward opening the field to vigorous, lively, contentious independent candidacies that might finally offer alienated voters a choice, not an echo.

I Am Not There
Author: Ginny Stroud
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1784625248
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Alzheimer’s – just a word, but one which conjures a whole range of emotions and thoughts – none of them positive. But how do we know? We are easily fooled. When you look in a mirror you do not see reality. For some, Alzheimer’s disease is a subject only mentioned in passing; for others, experiencing the profound effects it can have becomes a devastating reality. All are aware of its devastating outcome, but this is a novel about life, not death. Or rather, two lives: Beth is based on fact – only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Betsy’s story is a mixture of imagination and wishful thinking. “Just its name brings anxiety and alarm: Alzheimer’s. Sometimes, in my darker moods, I consider the future heredity possibilities: even going so far as to estimate the time I have left. A countdown to slow oblivion.” I Am Not There broadens the concept of near death, out-of-body experiences, providing a different, positive perspective on illness, life and death, and what may occur afterwards. It will appeal to anyone dealing with terminal illness or questioning the meaning of death. “The last week of my grandmother’s life gave me absolute belief in an afterlife. There were moments when I knew that she was not there and I took this one step further, to look at what happens to spirits in between life and death,” says Ginny, who was adopted by her grandmother, and who she cared for during the last ten years of her life after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Ginny is determined that her grandmother’s achievements should not be overshadowed by her disease.

Category : Psychology

Pages : 322
Book Description
Best Friends provides the missing link to understanding and recognizing the impact of some of the most important relationships in girls' and women's lives. Every woman remembers the sting of betrayal of a girlfriend, and every parent of a daughter has seen her come home from school in tears because a girl she thought was her best friend suddenly and inexplicably became her enemy. While boys hash out differences with fists and kicks, girls' societies are marked by secrets and whispers and shifting affection. The lessons learned as an adolescent girl are often carried into adulthood, making women fear confrontation--especially with other women. But the intensity of the struggles reflects the support and healing to be found within these friendships. Girls find themselves in the mirror of other girls, hence the power each has to influence the other. Ruthellen Josselson and Terri Apter's many years of working with hundreds of girls and women have given them insight into the emotionally important relationships that are integral to a girl's self-image. Best Friends explores the bonds of friendship between girls and between women and the sorrows and joys they experience together, from early adolescence and throughout their lives.
