Book Description
Nick Reed, private investigator for the Lassiter Agency, wasn't the marrying kind. He craved excitement, change, and he never stayed in one place too long. Unlike Tabitha Harvey. Tabby had lived in the house next door to Nick's childhood home for years. Stable and understated, she craved a home, children and a man who would love her. Too bad she'd already given her heart to a confirmed bachelor who'd run at the first hint of commitment. Unless…could she change his ways?

For not only did Meredith stir his jaded soul with her tempting innocence, he discovered she was a top-notch biscuit maker! Making a place for the beleaguered Meredith on the Hart ranch as his coveted cook turned out to be a cinch compared to breaking the enchanted spell she had cast over this Long, Tall Texan's heart. Now, the hot-tempered cattleman's plan to preserve his bachelorhood was on the verge of backfiring—big-time—because the more he learned about his mysterious housemate, the more he didn't want to let her go.

Book Description
Dr.Schillace’s book is special among works on personal change and psychology that are written for the general public. Most books in this genre are written with a “one size fits all” approach to psychological issues, recommended solutions and how people should help themselves. Relationship Pain offers a more individualized point of view. It includes specific chapters on the nature of difficulties in intimate, parent-child and work relationships. It is unique in its examination of the impact of personal trauma and loss on one’s interpersonal relations and view of relationships. Here, Dr. Schillace helps to understand the emotional and relational experience when we lose something positive in our lives, such as an intimate partner or work position, or when we are assaulted by a negative and terrifying experience, such as a bad accident or rape. This book has much to offer those who suffer a loss or trauma and those who care for them, in terms of sensitive understanding and constructive help. Taken from the Introduction by Robert Fink, Ph.D. In teaching us how each of us plays a part in creating our own experiences, the author extends the ultimate gift: he helps us learn how to transcend many of our own crazy ways. Reading Relationship Pain activates memories, fosters personal awareness, leads the reader to engage in his or her own healing process. Do you seek relief from the discomfort of your relationships. Help exists! Taken from the Introduction by David Trout Pomeroy Dr. Ralph Schillace is a psychologist who lives (photo) in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

Book Description
Rape is a violent act. Fittingly this is a violent story behind it; a story set in a violent land: Alaska, North of the Arctic Circle. Rape, a silent and vicious act, is one, in our human society that very often, definitely too often, goes unpunished, unrequited, ignored by the military, by world courts of law and religious leaders in all denominations. Rape has been considered a man’s prerogative, a man’s right if you will for centuries. Perhaps not on the books, but in the unseen worlds and silent deeds between the lines, beneath the dark robes of judges and darker thoughts of many self-emasculated politicians, who verbally deplore pornography, yet keep it encrypted in corners of their laptops – tied up in the old lace between their legs. To these insecure beings, sex (a beautiful act in itself) is dirty. BIRDS OF DARKNESS, a work of fiction, is based on fact. Captain Adriana O’Donavan, an ex air force officer and ace fighter pilot decorated in the second Gulf War, is gang raped by five fellow officers. Unconscious, she is driven into the blistering mid-eastern desert and, naked, left to die in the sand and sun. Found by natives, her mutilated, sunburned body is dropped at a military medical facility. Revived, she is determined to bring the guilty before a military court. Laying her accusations before her commanding officer, Captain O’Donavan is told that she is lucky to be alive and, for her sake and the sake of the reputation of the US Military, to just shut up about the whole episode. Adriana forces the issue. As a result, she is stripped of her rank and forced to retire. The lady refuses to give in. As a civilian she quietly sets up a flying service headquartered in Fairbanks, Alaska and take the law into her own hands. In those hands, justice prevails.

Book Description
The right reasons to fall in love with The Bachelor When it debuted in 2002, The Bachelor raised the stakes of first-wave reality television, offering the ultimate prize: true love. Since then, thrice yearly, dozens of camera-ready young-and-eligibles have vied for affection (and roses) in front of a devoted audience of millions. In this funny, insightful examination of the world’s favorite romance-factory, Suzannah Showler explores the contradictions that are key to the franchise’s genius, longevity, and power and parses what this means for both modern love and modern America. She argues the show is both gameshow and marriage plot — an improbable combination of competitive effort and kismet — and that it’s both relic and prophet, a time-traveler from first-gen reality TV that proved to be a harbinger of Tinder. In the modern media-savvy climate, the show cleverly highlights and resists its own artifice, allowing Bachelor Nation to see through the fakery to feel the romance. Taking on issues of sex, race, contestants-as-villains, the controversial spin-offs, and more, Most Dramatic Ever is both love letter to and deconstruction of the show that brought us real love in the reality TV era.

Book Description
This is a state-of-the-art volume on lexicography at the beginning of the 21st century. It also offers proposals for future theoretical and practical work. The contributions, inspired by the ground-breaking work of Henning Bergenholtz, address topics such as dictionary functions; dictionary users; access routes; dictionary structures; dictionary reviewing; subject-field classifications; data retrieval; corpus lexicography; and collocations and phraseology. The contributors, all highly regarded international scholars in the field of lexicography, show how the theory of lexicographical functions can extend the forefront of the discipline by focusing on dictionary functions and how these meet the needs of users in various types of user situations. Thereby echoing Bergenholtz’s idea that a dictionary is a tool that can help users solve problems encountered in communicative, cognitive and operative situations. This volume is not only of interest to practical and theoretical lexicographers but to anyone interested in lexicography.
