Book Description
You don't know what you've got till he's gone.... A lot of things about my life are uncertain. Being half-Hunter/half-Vampire can make for a lot of confusion. But if there's one thing in this life I am certain of, it's that I love my boyfriend Brandon. Yet, the more time I spend with Alex, the more I start to wonder if there might be something there as well. Sometimes when he looks at me, I think he sees more than a silly girl trying to find her place in this world. Did Brandon and I jump into this relationship too soon? Maybe I'm meant to be with Alex. Or someone else. Turns out those questions will have to wait because when six Guardians go missing at an Eidolon Festival, both Brandon and Alex are among the victims. Now, my sister and I, along with other team members, are racing against the clock to try and get them back before the Vampire Queen makes them--or us--disappear forever. Can Cadence and I find a way to bring the Guardians back, and if we do, will everything be the same as it was before? I'm Cassidy Findley, and this is my life as a teenage Vampire Hunter. The Chronicles of Cassidy is a retelling of The Clandestine Saga specifically for teens/young adults. It tells the story from the perspective of high schooler Cassidy Findley with no harsh language or inappropriate scenes.

Pictures of a Gone City

Pages : 661
Book Description
The San Francisco Bay Area is currently the jewel in the crown of capitalism—the tech capital of the world and a gusher of wealth from the Silicon Gold Rush. It has been generating jobs, spawning new innovation, and spreading ideas that are changing lives everywhere. It boasts of being the Left Coast, the Greenest City, and the best place for workers in the USA. So what could be wrong? It may seem that the Bay Area has the best of it in Trump’s America, but there is a dark side of success: overheated bubbles and spectacular crashes; exploding inequality and millions of underpaid workers; a boiling housing crisis, mass displacement, and severe environmental damage; a delusional tech elite and complicity with the worst in American politics. This sweeping account of the Bay Area in the age of the tech boom covers many bases. It begins with the phenomenal concentration of IT in Greater Silicon Valley, the fabulous economic growth of the bay region and the unbelievable wealth piling up for the 1% and high incomes of Upper Classes—in contrast to the fate of the working class and people of color earning poverty wages and struggling to keep their heads above water. The middle chapters survey the urban scene, including the greatest housing bubble in the United States, a metropolis exploding in every direction, and a geography turned inside out. Lastly, it hits the environmental impact of the boom, the fantastical ideology of TechWorld, and the political implications of the tech-led transformation of the bay region.

Land Reform and Working-Class Experience in Britain and the United States, 1800-1862
Author: Jamie L. Bronstein
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 9780804734516
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
By exploring in detail land reform movements in Britain and the United States, this book transcends traditional labor history and conceptions of class to deepen our understanding of the social, political, and economic history of both countries in the nineteenth century. Although divided by their diverse experiences of industrialization, and living in countries with different amounts of available land, many working people in both Britain and the United States dreamed of free or inexpensive land to release them from the grim conditions of the 1840s: depressing, overcrowded cities, low wages or unemployment, and stifling lives. Focusing on the Chartist Land Company, the Potters Joint-Stock Emigration Society, and the American National Reform movement, this study analyses the ideas that motivated workers to turn to land reform, the creation of working-class land reform cultures and identities among both men and women, and the international communication that enabled the formation of a transatlantic movement. Though there were similarities in the ideas behind the land reform movements, in their organizational strategies, and in their relationships with other reform movements in the two countries, the authors examination of their grassroots constituencies reveals key differences. In the United States, land reformers included small proprietors as well as artisans and factory workers. In Britain, by contrast, at least a quarter of Chartist Land Company participants lived in cotton-manufacturing towns, strongholds of unpropertied workers and radical activity. When the land reform movements came into contact with the organs of the press and government, the differences in membership became crucial. The Chartist Land Company was repressed by a government alarmed at the prospect of workers autonomy, and the Potters Joint-Stock Emigration Society died the natural death of straitened finances, but the American land reform movement experienced some measure of successso much so that during the revolution in American political parties during the 1850s, land reform, once a radical issue, became a mainstream plank in the Republican platform

Book Description
If Buffy and Angel could have banged without him going all evil, then we would have had Wilomena Bastion. Dragons suck, like literally suck the life out of you if you let them. Trick is not to look them directly in the eyes, like ever. So, the day Wila finds herself staring into the most dangerous Draconi's pretty, emerald peepers, she knows she's royally fucked. No one said saving a bunch of kids from being served up as treats to the dragon liege was going to be easy. Options are limited-immediate execution or servitude, and Wila prefers to have her head remain firmly on her shoulders. Now, the self-professed dark avenger must work to bring down a resistance of demons hell-bent on making life difficult for the dragon liege. And, if that wasn't bad enough, her new position comes with a partner, the dragon liege's favoured demon enforcer; a creature of fire, fury and washboard abs who-let's face it-is just gonna cramp her style. With the help of a ghostly receptionist, a talking dog and the thing that lives in the basement, Wila will be forced to take on a most dangerous task. It looks like some serious brooding is on the menu, because for the first time in forever, Wila isn't sure she's up to the job. A city filled with monsters needs a woman who can kick ass, and Wilomena Bastion is just the gal for the job.

Category : Fiction

Pages : 183
Book Description
From the bard of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac's Maggie Cassidy is a profoundly moving, autobiographical novel of adolescence and first love One of the dozen books written by Jack Kerouac in the early and mid-1950s, Maggie Cassidy was not published until 1959, after the appearance of On the Road had made its author famous overnight. Long out of print, this touching novel of adolescent love in a New England mill town, with its straight-forward narrative structure, is one of Kerouac's most accesible works. It is a remarkable, bittersweet evocation of the awkwardness and the joy of growing up in America.

Equity for Women in Science
Author: Cassidy R. Sugimoto
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674292901
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
The first large-scale empirical analysis of the gender gap in science, showing how the structure of scientific labor and rewards—publications, citations, funding—systematically obstructs women’s career advancement. If current trends continue, women and men will be equally represented in the field of biology in 2069. In physics, math, and engineering, women should not expect to reach parity for more than a century. The gender gap in science and technology is narrowing, but at a decidedly unimpressive pace. And even if parity is achievable, what about equity? Equity for Women in Science, the first large-scale empirical analysis of the global gender gap in science, provides strong evidence that the structures of scientific production and reward impede women’s career advancement. To make their case, Cassidy R. Sugimoto and Vincent Larivière have conducted scientometric analyses using millions of published papers across disciplines. The data show that women are systematically denied the chief currencies of scientific credit: publications and citations. The rising tide of collaboration only exacerbates disparities, with women unlikely to land coveted leadership positions or gain access to global networks. The findings are unequivocal: when published, men are positioned as key contributors and women are relegated to low-visibility technical roles. The intersecting disparities in labor, reward, and resources contribute to cumulative disadvantages for the advancement of women in science. Alongside their eye-opening analyses, Sugimoto and Larivière offer solutions. The data themselves point the way, showing where existing institutions fall short. A fair and equitable research ecosystem is possible, but the scientific community must first disrupt its own pervasive patterns of gatekeeping.
