Book Description
Lila Winters is a mother of two who learns that she has the ability to control natural elements—abilities that exceed that of a normal human. Others like her who call themselves the Guardians are being hunted and manipulated by high-end companies and secret government departments who want to extort their abilities for money and power. Lila is approached by Alex Woods, a fellow Guardian who tries to recruit Lila into a secret government department called Mission Control, which seeks to promote the benevolent use of Guardian abilities to benefit humans. Lila, although reluctant to join, agrees to help Maxwell Eden, the rich father of a missing Guardian who is desperate to reunite with his daughter. Along their quest to find the missing Guardians, they discover ancient creatures thought to be legendary. They help Alex and Lila grow and learn and become strong allies in the fight against the Board. When these high-end businessmen discover there is a new Nature Guardian—considered a rare and powerful talent—they attempt to capture Lila and Alex to add to their collection. Under the surveillance of Mission Control, the constant threat from the Board, the struggles of maintaining her family life, and the excitement of her developing abilities, Lila’s adventures turn her typical suburban life upside down.

Book Description
This handbook provides readers with up-to-date knowledge on environmental movements and activism and is a reference point for international work in the field.

DEI and Intersectional Social Identities at Work
Author: Donnalyn Pompper
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040042597
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
This book equips readers—both students and communication practitioners—with the theoretical understanding and practical skills they need to support nonprofit and for-profit organizations to create and assess their diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and social identity intersectionality goals. Through applied examples of the insider activist role that the communication function plays, the book helps future and current professional communicators navigate organizations toward authentic relationship-building with internal and external audiences. It teaches that embracing DEI includes acknowledging social identity intersectionalities—recognizing that people possess multiple social identity dimensions of age, culture, ethnicity/race, faith/spirituality, gender, physical/psychological ability, sexual orientation, social class, and more. In order to illuminate the theory discussed in the book, each chapter includes thought-provoking situation-opportunity sidebars, discussion questions for drilling deeper into the issues at hand, and case studies with applied lessons about DEI issues. This is an ideal text for advanced undergraduates and graduate courses in organizational communication, strategic communication, marketing communication, human resources, and public relations, as well as for communication practitioners working in these subdisciplines.
