Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Book 1 in The Rangelands series. A remote outback home where she can become someone new–and maybe find a forever love? Rachel Meade is a woman with a past she wants to escape from. Finding herself in Mt Maria, a small outback town in Western Australia, she thinks she's found a place to stay. Before she knows it, Rachel is corralled into helping with the Tidy Town competition by the Dramatic Society widows who have a tendency to gossip and take charge. It's not in her plan, but she finds herself allowing friendships to develop. She's even more surprised by her growing attraction to the town's engaging senior police officer. Ex–detective Senior Sergeant Luke Weston knows anything and everything happens in the country, and he's seen it all–stolen chickens, pub fights and alleged cheating for the Tidy Town competition are only some of puzzles Mt Maria offers Luke. He's been playing for Rachel, thinking maybe she's the one. Then he gets news that the Crime Squad are looking for her, and he's ordered to get close and stay close. Is Rachel in trouble, or is she the trouble? Luke is fighting his attraction to a woman he might have to take into custody, and it looks like he's going to be arresting more than one person before the end of the week. Luke needs to restore peace in his corner of the outback, but he knows he's not going to get out of this without getting his heart busted. With her past catching up with her, Rachel has to decide whether it's time to cut and run again, or whether this time she's found the person–and the place–to finally heal her heart.

Book Description
'Embedded design' gives fresh impetus to an area by exploring the unique character and life of a place through the eyes of designers on the ground. This book documents the work of designers who embedded themselves in and around the former penal colony in Veenhuizen, soon to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It reveals the experience gained and lessons learned, illustrating them with countless design projects and events. This initiative, a blueprint for creative research focused on a particular area, is intended to spur similar projects. Young designers, prisoners, policy-makers and others joined forces in Veenhuizen, inspired by the unique cultural, historical, landscape and architectural reality. This lengthy design collaboration was instigated by embedded design pioneer KETTER&Co, and was guided by Design Academy Eindhoven. With local authorities and prison management in Veenhuizen, they drew up an ambitious 'Design Deal. Together they examined the challenges of local development in a long-term process that explored the many perspectives on the past and present. Their efforts helped to define a revised vision for Veenhuizen, one that is local and social, that can be experienced, that is shaped in conjunction with stakeholders, and that has an impact on visibility and policy, with energy flowing in many directions. The work resulted in proposals aimed at boosting commercial opportunities and enhancing the sense of community, while also promoting sustainable heritage management and a dynamic awareness of history. In other words: a magnificent challenge to give renewed vitality to this remarkable cultural landscape.
