Book Description
FROM POPULAR AUTHOR OF LGBT+ ROMANCE BAILEY BRADFORD Book two in the Wild Ones series Never in his wildest dreams. Rhett Tucker, a rough, tough, meat-and-potatoes Wyoming rancher, has just about accepted that shifters exist. His little brother Jack is now mated to one, Ben, whose family are the only coywolf—wolf-coyote hybrids—shifters in existence. Rhett's also accepted the fact that he's gay, even if he's never been with a guy. What he can't deal with is Ben's big brother, the swaggering, dominating, permanently smirking Casey. The head of the Akers pack might be their alpha, but he's not Rhett's and never will be. Casey has never met a challenge he didn't leap at, and he sure wants to jump the handsome rancher's bones. He sees that under all the bluster, Rhett yearns to submit, and Casey's more than happy to fulfil Rhett's needs...when the stubborn man's ready to admit to them. But when both humans and coywolves are under attack, there's no time for Rhett and Casey to do anything but join forces to find out if the inter-shifter battles are starting up again, or if the pack and the Double T Ranch are facing a new and deadly enemy. One thing's for sure—any relationship between Rhett and Casey is gonna be wild.

Book Description
Volume due della serie Selvaggi Mai nei suoi sogni più sfrenati. Rhett Tucker, un allevatore di bestiame e patate del Wyoming, ha quasi accettato l'esistenza dei mutanti. Il suo fratellino Jack ora fa coppia con uno di loro, Ben, la cui famiglia è l'unico coylupo — ibrido lupo-coyote — mutante esistente. Rhett ha anche accettato il fatto di essere gay, anche se non è mai stato con un ragazzo. Quello che non riesce ad affrontare è il fratello maggiore di Ben, Casey spavaldo, dominante e sempre sorridente. Il capo branco degli Akers sarà anche il loro maschio alfa, ma non è il capo di Rhett e non lo sarà mai. Casey non ha mai rinunciato a una sfida, e di sicuro vuole saltare addosso dell'affascinante allevatore. Intuisce che sotto tutta quella spavalderia, Rhett anela a sottomettersi, e Casey è più che felice di soddisfare i bisogni di Rhett ... quando quell'uomo testardo sarà pronto ad ammetterli. Ma quando sia gli umani che i coylupi sono sotto attacco, non c'è tempo per Rhett e Casey di fare altro che unire le forze per scoprire se le battaglie tra mutanti stanno ricominciando, o se il branco e il Double T Ranch stanno affrontando un nuovo e mortale nemico. Una cosa è certa — qualsiasi relazione tra Rhett e Casey sarà selvaggia.

Network Analysis in Marine Ecology
Author: F. Wulff
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642750176
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This book arises from a workshop on the application of network analysis to ecological flow networks. The purpose is to develop a new tool for comparison of ecosystems, paying particular attention to marine ecosystems. After a review of the methods and theory, data from a variety of marine habitats are analyzed and compared. Readers are shown how to calculate such properties as cycling index, average path length, flow diversity, indices of ecosystem growth and development and the origins and fates of particular flows. This is a highly original contribution to the growing field of ecosystem theory, in which attention is paid to the properties of the total, functioning ecosystem, rather than to the properties of individual organisms. New insights are provided into the workings of marine systems.

Predatory Pricing in Antitrust Law and Economics
Author: Nicola Giocoli
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317859634
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Can a price ever be too low? Can competition ever be ruinous? Questions like these have always accompanied American antitrust law. They testify to the difficulty of antitrust enforcement, of protecting competition without protecting competitors. As the business practice that most directly raises these kinds of questions, predatory pricing is at the core of antitrust debates. The history of its law and economics offers a privileged standpoint for assessing the broader development of antitrust, its past, present and future. In contrast to existing literature, this book adopts the perspective of the history of economic thought to tell this history, covering a period from the late 1880s to present times. The image of a big firm, such as Rockefeller’s Standard Oil or Duke’s American Tobacco, crushing its small rivals by underselling them is iconic in American antitrust culture. It is no surprise that the most brilliant legal and economic minds of the last 130 years have been engaged in solving the predatory pricing puzzle. The book shows economic theories that build rigorous stories explaining when predatory pricing may be rational, what welfare harm it may cause and how the law may fight it. Among these narratives, a special place belongs to the Chicago story, according to which predatory pricing is never profitable and every low price is always a good price.

Modelling Biological Populations in Space and Time
Author: Eric Renshaw
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521448550
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
This volume develops a unifying approach to population studies, emphasising the interplay between modelling and experimentation. Throughout, mathematicians and biologists are provided with a framework within which population dynamics can be fully explored and understood. Aspects of population dynamics covered include birth-death and logistic processes, competition and predator-prey relationships, chaos, reaction time-delays, fluctuating environments, spatial systems, velocities of spread, epidemics, and spatial branching structures. Both deterministic and stochastic models are considered. Whilst the more theoretically orientated sections will appeal to mathematical biologists, the material is presented so that readers with little mathematical expertise can bypass these without losing the main flow of the text.

Land Rights, Ethno-nationality and Sovereignty in History
Author: Stanley Engerman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113435746X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
The complex relationships between ethno-nationality, rights to land, and territorial sovereignty have long fed disputes over territorial control and landed rights between different nations, ethnicities, and religions. These disputes raise a number of interesting issues related to the nature of land regimes and to their economic and political implications. The studies drawn together in this key volume explore these and related issues for a broad variety of countries and times. They illuminate the diverse causes of ethno-national land disputes, and the different forms of adjustment and accommodation to the power differences between the contesting groups. This is done within a framework outlined by the editors in their analytical overview, which offers contours for comparative examinations of such disputes, past and present. Providing conceptual and factual analyses of comparative nature and wealth of empirical material (both historical and contemporary), this book will appeal to economic historians, economists, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists and all scholars interested in issues concerning ethno-nationality and land rights in historical perspective.

Animals in the Third Reich
Author: Boria Sax
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 9780826412898
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
"This is the first book to explore the paradox of the Nazi cult of animals and the obsession with the annhilation of "biologically inferior" people." "Animals in the Third Reich begins by contrasting Jewish, Christian, and polytheistic traditions relating to animals in Germany, and examines the ways that the Nazi movement adopted, altered, challenged, or exploited these traditions. This discussion covers several perspectives on the treatment of animals, including those of zoologists, veterinarians, novelists, painters, sculptors, and the general public. Adopting and exploiting such traditions, the Nazis elaborated their own symbolic system of relating certain animals to supporters and antagonists of the movement - Aryan wolves and horses; Jewish pigs and apes."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
