Book Description
I know she came here to judge me. Well, she can be my guest… The average single father would probably tell you they have a lot on their plate. And they wouldn’t be lying. But do they have an entire ski lodge to manage on top of everything else? I don’t think so. I might be a billionaire, but trust me, turning the Blue Sky Resort in Breckenridge, Montana into a skier’s go-to destination has been no piece of cake—not even for me. And my 15-year-old daughter sure isn’t making things easier. Did she have to befriend the woman who threw a tantrum over our prices right in the middle of the gift shop? Sure, Cali Sinclair is a famous resort vlogger, and Julianna just won’t stop talking about apps, influencers, and social media, but would it hurt her to find another influencer to intern for? Someone who doesn’t rile me up every chance she gets? As if that wasn’t enough, the woman keeps tripping all over the place. If I’m not careful enough, before I know it, I might have a lawsuit on my hands. For now, I just owe her dinner. One quiet meal. One hour—maybe two—of civil conversation. The question is, can we go one night without being at each other’s throats? To my surprise, it turns out we can. But I’m not sure I like this outcome better… Because now I’m starting to wish that she keeps falling. I’ll just have to be there to catch her each time… Mountain Grump is a standalone romance with no cliffhanger, no cheating, and a happily ever after.

Book Description
I am Levi Luxenberg. 40-year-old billionaire. CEO of Luxenberg Enterprises. And apparently, father of one. A week ago, having kids wasn’t even in my 10-year plan. Now, I have a 5-year-old daughter who will hardly look in my direction. I am aware that Amelia is grieving her mother’s death, and I swear I’m not a complete jerk, but I jumped on a private jet to Chicago at a moment’s notice, and the kid won’t even say a word to me. As if that wasn’t bad enough, our pilot just got sick and I have to fly commercial for the first time in years. You’d think that would be the end of it, but no. The cherry on top? Amelia would rather interact with Clare, the divorced, jobless, tipsy woman sitting right in front of us, than me. She chats with her, she smiles at her—she even draws her a freaking picture. I would be really mad if I didn’t actually need a nanny. Urgently. Since my assistant screwed my ad over and made me look like a grumpy billionaire desperately looking for a wife, Clare suddenly seems perfect for the job. She has no place to live, no idea who I am, and no qualms about being my live-in nanny on a trial basis. The problem is, I think I might want to keep her around longer…

Vulnerability of mountain peoples to food insecurity
Author: Romeo, R., Grita, F., Parisi, F., and Russo, L.
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251337160
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
This study, the third of its type published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), adds further evidence that in mountain regions of developing countries, food insecurity, social isolation, environmental degradation, exposure to the risk of disasters and to the impacts of climate change, and limited access to basic services, especially in rural areas, are still prevalent and, under some circumstances, increasing. It also shows the technical challenges for producing more comprehensive and representative assessments based on scientific data, and providing a deeper understanding of the underlying factors of vulnerability of mountain people. Mountains cover 39 million km2, or 27 percent, of the world’s land surface. In 2017, the global mountain population reached nearly 1.1 billion, which is 15 percent of the world’s population, with an increase of 89 million people since 2012. The increase added almost entirely (86 million people) to the mountain population in developing countries, which reached one billion people in 2017. The population has increased in all the regions of the developing world. Only the areas at the highest mountain altitudes (above 3 500 m) continued to experience a depopulation trend in the last 17 years, while at all other elevations population increased. In all African subregions, in South America and in Central and Western Asia, the population density is higher in the mountains than in the lowlands. In developing countries, 648 million people (65 percent of the total mountain population) live in rural areas. Half of them – 346 million – were estimated to be vulnerable to food insecurity in 2017. In other words, one in two rural mountain dwellers in developing countries live in areas where the daily availability of calories and protein was estimated to be below the minimum threshold needed for a healthy life. In the five years from 2012 to 2017, the number of vulnerable people increased in the mountains of developing countries, approximately at the same pace as the total mountain population. Although the proportion of vulnerable people to the total mountain population did not change, the absolute number of vulnerable people increased globally by 40 million, representing an increment of 12.5 percent from 2012 to 2017.
