They’re a family. But all that changes when Jenna’s best friend stops talking to her. Suddenly, she’s not getting invited out with the rest of the quad. She’s always a step behind. And she has no idea why. While grappling with post-cheer life, Jenna explores things she never allowed herself to like, including LARPing (live action role playing) and a relationship with a trans guy that feels a lot like love. When Jenna loses the sport and the friends she’s always loved, she has to ask herself: What else is left?

Book Description
A company of infantryman is one of the most powerful and versatile weapons at a nation’s disposal. Capable of any number of tasks assigned to them, these are men for whom the mission always comes first. These are men of honor, men of loyalty, created for one purpose: destroy the enemies of their nation in armed conflict. But what happens when divisions begin to become evident in the heart and soul of these men? What happens when they begin to question their creation, question their reality, and question all they have been trained to hold dear? For the commander of Combat Outpost Chemera, these questions become all too real when events begin to spiral out of control during operations in several isolated mountain villages in the war-torn nation they have been sent to occupy. Boredom, poor decision making, treasonous actions, and the grim reality of death lurking around every corner send the captain spiraling into his books, into his childhood memories, and into an examination of his military career. How were we meant to live our lives? What gives us real purpose? Sometimes the experience of war is the only way to find the answer.

Book Description
The groundbreaking guide to modern leadership in architectural practice Leading Collaborative Architectural Practice is the leadership handbook for today's design and construction professionals. Endorsed by the American Institute of Architects, this book describes the collaborative approach to leadership that is becoming increasingly prevalent in modern practice; gone are the days of authoritative "star" architects— today's practice is a brand, and requires the full input of every member of the team. This book builds off of a two-year AIA research project to provide a blueprint for effective leadership: the ability, awareness, and commitment to lead project teams who work together to accomplish the project's goals. Both group and individual hands-on exercises help facilitate implementation, and extensive case studies show how these techniques have helped real-world firms build exemplary success through collaborative teamwork and leadership. Highly illustrated and accessible, this approach is presented from the practicing architect's point of view—but the universal principles and time-tested methods also provide clear guidance for owners, contractors, engineers, project managers, and students. Build a culture of collaboration, commitment, and interpersonal awareness Adopt effective leadership techniques at the team, project, or practice level Handle conflict and resolve communication issues using tested approaches Learn how real-world projects use effective leadership to drive success The last decade has seen a sea-change in architectural leadership. New practices no longer adopt the name and identity of a single person, but create their own identity that represents the collaborative work of the entire group. Shifts in technology and changing workplace norms have made top-down management structures irrelevant, so what does it now mean to lead? Forefront presents effective contemporary leadership in the architectural practice, and real-world guidance on everyday implementation.
