Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Robin Cook’s “pressure cooker of a thriller” (Booklist) takes medical technology into a new realm, where everything we know about the human body—and the universe we live in—is about to be challenged. Everyone assumes it’s just the flu—but when a powerful virus causes unexplained symptoms, the few left uninfected must discover a cure before they catch it, too... After Cassy Winthrope’s boyfriend Beau displays brief, flu-like symptoms, he begins to act strangely. His body is stronger and faster, his mind shaprer. And suddenly the straight-edged guy who never skips class and hates big dogs is playing hooky and walking around with a bullmastiff. Once Cassy shares these observations with their mutual friend Pitt, the pair notice that almost everyone else in their small college town seems to be infected with the same virus that Beau has. Could it be connected to the tiny black disks appearing everywhere, stinging those who pick them up? Recruiting members of the community and medical experts unexposed to the disease that’s defying all diagnoses, Cassy knows she’s in a race against time. But can she figure out how to save the people she cares for—before it’s too late to reverse the changes?

Pages : 651
Book Description
Have you ever thrown caution to the wind and done something out of the ordinary—something to break up the monotonous and the mundane? And if so, was this choice you made so outlandish and irresponsible, were there times you felt your life was perilously hanging in the balance? Well, that’s exactly what twenty-three year old, scatterbrain extraordinaire, Cassy Carter did. In fact, that’s how this whole nightmare of an adventure begins: Hitchhiking on a dare! On a roadside nearing the hour of dusk, a young woman thumbing it for kicks and giggles, and maybe a bit more. For what happens next in these lush foothills and mountains dusted with snow, is the making of things unexpected. Things involving hellish demons, a killer copter, and a bloodthirsty drug baron. And if that doesn’t sound like enough of a risk, how about falling for the man responsible for all this craziness? Meet Jack Reynolds, an unorthodox character if there ever was one, a manly man who lives in a treehouse and eats whatever can be snared with a fishing rod or a crossbow. For Cassy soon becomes one of the snared, often wondering if she was pegged to be more than a lover—like the possible fixings for a scrumptious meal. Following a mad chase along the primitive logging trails, an accident finds the two of them at the mercy of drug-running thugs in dire want of a payday. And when it becomes apparent that Jack cannot fulfil this request, the young heroine turns into the only prize left in this deadly game of cat and mouse. For as with most people, love can play tricks and cloud judgements. With Cassy, this lingering struggle is no different. At times these feelings gave her unbound strength; when in other moments, they seemed to render her with obvious paralysis. But the question remains...would this emotion prove to be her downfall, or the precise ingredient required to make it out alive?

The Making of a Teenage Service Class
Author: Ranita Ray
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520292065
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
"Stereotypes of economically marginalized black and brown youth focus on drugs, gangs, violence, and teen parenthood. Families, schools, nonprofit organizations, and institutions in poor urban neighborhoods emphasize preventing such "risk behaviors." In The Making of a Teenage Service Class, Ranita Ray uncovers the pernicious consequences of concentrating on risk behaviors as key to targeting poverty. Having spent three years among sixteen black and Latina/o youth, Ray shares their stories of trying to beat the odds of living in poverty. Their struggles of hunger, homelessness, and untreated illnesses are juxtaposed with the perseverance of completing homework, finding jobs, and spending long hours traveling from work to school to home. By focusing on the lives of youth who largely avoid drugs, gangs, violence, and teen parenthood, the book challenges the idea that targeting these "risk behaviors" is key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Ray compellingly demonstrates how the disproportionate emphasis on risk behaviors reinforces class and race hierarchies and diverts resources that could support marginalized youth's basic necessities and educational and occupational goals."--Provided by publisher.
