Book Description
Stay Thirsty Publishing Proudly Presents Forty Years Later - 10th Anniversary Edition (Newly Revised). An Amazon #1 Bestseller with over 55,000 eBooks downloaded from veteran author Steven Jay Griffel. A compelling story of second chances in life and love. Successful middle-aged publishing executive David Grossman risks everything to fulfill a promise to a woman he has not seen in forty years. When former teen sweethearts David and Jill reunite after four decades, sparks fly, despite his long marriage to Allison and Jill's LGBT reputation. Jill Black, a "one-hit wonder" Hollywood screenwriter, is consumed by her last chance to write and direct her own film. Success will reinvigorate her career. Failure will end it. When a pompous studio "suit" begins to undermine her authority and threatens to kill her project, the pressure forces her to spin from rage to murderous madness and she ensnares David in her dark plot. Love and betrayal. Revenge and redemption. For some it ends happily. For others it all comes undone in this fast-paced drama of Baby Boomers trying to hang on to their lives, their families, and their dreams. A riveting novel of suspense and humor, masterfully told by Steven Jay Griffel. "Griffel's narrative is a rush - sharp, spot on, and funny as hell." - Laurie Rozakis, Author, Editor & Public Speaker. "Forty Years Later is a great read. It's fast, edgy, but poignant. Steven Jay Griffel really captures the emotions of the Woodstock generation forty years later." - Les Kaye, Musician and Emmy Award winner. From the 120 Amazon customer reviews: "Lost Dreams Redeemed ... Everyone Wants A Do-Over ... Excellent depiction of individual personalities ... I reminisced in a dream like sort of way of my Woodstock experience ... Well written and easy reading ... I chose this book because at the center is the Catskills - a bungalow colony - which is where I met my future husband at the age of 13 ... If you've ever cared for someone and years later wondered, "What if ...", Forty Years Later is great fun, with a dash of poignancy." About the Author Steven Jay Griffel is a novelist, editor and publisher. He is the author of five novels and his book, Forty Years Later, became a #1 Best Seller on Amazon in two categories. He lives in Queens, New York, with his wife Barbara.

Book Description
Few works in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) can endure multiple reads, but Selinker's (1972) "Interlanguage" is a clear exception. Written at the inception of the field, this paper delineates a disciplinary scope; asks penetrating questions; advances daring hypotheses; and proposes a first-ever conceptual and empirical framework that continues to stimulate SLA research. Sparked by a heightened interest in this founding text on its 40th anniversary, 10 leaders in their respective fields of SLA research collectively examine extrapolations of the seminal text for the past, the present, and the future of SLA research. This book offers a rare resource for novices and experts alike in and beyond the field of SLA.

Pages : 221
Book Description
When we struggle isnt it nice to know that someone understands? God has given us a cloud of witnesses who understand. Biblical characters struggled with their faith; demanding bosses; unfairness; loss of jobs, family, and friends; and even loss of life, but they also found God faithful. Forty Years Later: Gods Faithfulness Across Generations looks at the stories of biblical characters and, more importantly, at their wilderness journeys as they struggled and grew in faith. God has a plan for His children. God is committed to building faith in His children. God uses struggles in the wilderness to train His children. The Israeli nation refused to enter the Promised Land the first time. Forty years later in the wilderness, they were ready to trust God. Joseph spent years as a slave and prisoner and saved his family from famine. Moses, one of the greatest leaders in history, suggested that God use someone other than himself to lead the nation out of Egypt. God leads, guides, provides, wins the battles, and is ever present with His chosen ones. In the struggles in the wilderness, we learn to know God as our leader, provider, and protector. When everyone else fails us, God remains faithful. God also teaches us, as His chosen, to help others on the journey He has for them. God chose us. God uses us. Forty Years Later will inspire you to see God in your struggles and find hope that He who is faithful has a plan.

New York Times Co. v. Sullivan Forty Years Later
Author: W. Wat Hopkins
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351225367
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
The need to protect free speech on matters of governing importance--more than any other element of government--is the defining factor of a free society. Nowhere in the law is that prospect more clearly explained than in the opinion in Times v. Sullivan. This special issue provides an example of the breadth and scope of Times v. Sullivan and the ways in which the case continues to impact the jurisprudence of free expression. It is introduced by two essays designed to provide an overview of the case, providing insights into the origins of the dispute the Court was called upon to settle. The next four articles are testimony to breadth the opinion in this case, particularly dealing with aspects not often considered. Combined, they all demonstrate the lasting significance of what may be the most important free expression case the Court has delivered.
