Book Description
This gruff Bear Shifter just wanted a weekend alone in this cabin. Too bad the Fates had other ideas... Sadie Stewart had been hiking the Oregon Trail, exploring and taking notes for her thesis. Her parents had instilled in her a work ethic that didn't allow for giving up, even against incredible odds. She'd faced pushback all her life, from the playground to the halls of academia. She knew she couldn't find the truth she sought by sitting in libraries and university basements. The truth was out here. But the truth wasn't going to make it easy. While on her hike, Sadie lost track of time. She found herself in the pitch black wilderness, stumbling along what she hoped was still the trail. Low on food and water, she panics when she realizes her cell phone is dying. She sees lights twinkling in a window and approaches a primitive mountain cabin that appears to be vacant. Far from vacant, inside she would find the only truth that mattered... Every Monday in 2019 I'll be releasing a brand new novella for you to gobble up!

Giving Up Baby
Author: Laury Oaks
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479806366
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
"Baby safe haven" laws, which allow a parent to relinquish a newborn baby legally and anonymously at a specified institutional location--such as a hospital or fire station--were established in every state between 1999 and 2009. Promoted during a time of heated public debate over policies on abortion, sex education, teen pregnancy, adoption, welfare, immigrant reproduction, and child abuse, safe haven laws were passed by the majority of states with little contest. These laws were thought to offer a solution to the consequences of unwanted pregnancies: mothers would no longer be burdened with children they could not care for, and newborn babies would no longer be abandoned in dumpsters. Yet while these laws are well meaning, they inadequately address the social injustices that compel abandonment for the very small number of girls and women who abandon their newborns. Advocates of safe haven laws target teenagers, women of color and poor women in particular with safe haven information under the assumption that they cannot offer good homes for their children. Laury Oaks argues that the labeling of certain kinds of women as potential "bad" mothers who should consider anonymously giving up their newborns for adoption into a "loving" home should best be understood as an issue of reproductive justice. Safe haven discourses promote narrow images of who deserves to be a mother and reflect restrictive views on how we should treat women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy.

The Services Shift
Author: Robert E. Kennedy
Publisher: FT Press
ISBN: 0137011210
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Everyone's familiar with manufacturing offshoring by now. But a different phenomenon will soon drive even more powerful changes: the globalization of services. Until now, it's been virtually impossible to get a clear picture of what's going on, where, and why. Where are the jobs going? Which companies benefit -- or could benefit? How, exactly, does services offshoring work? Who makes a good partner? What are the public policy implications? The Services Shift answers all these questions and more, offering powerful insights for managers, policymakers, and citizens alike. Two leading researchers reveal how services offshoring is working in both industries and individual companies, and show how to define and implement realistic services sourcing goals. You'll review the types of players involved in services offshoring, and understand its geographical centers, from China and India to Hungary, Russia, Morocco, Brazil, South Africa, and Mauritius. Drawing on detailed interviews with dozens of participants, the authors review the management skillsets associated with successful services offshoring. Next, they review policy initiatives in both developing and developed countries, and assess U.S. policy initiatives aimed at restricting offshoring. Next, they review policy initiatives in both developing and developed countries, and assess U.S. policy initiatives aimed at restricting offshoring. Finally, the authors preview emerging trends in services globalization.

Life and Death Decisions
Author: Sheldon Ekland-Olson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317611993
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Issues of Life and Death such as abortion, assisted suicide, capital punishment and others are among the most contentious in many societies. Whose rights are protected? How do these rights and protections change over time and who makes those decisions? Based on the author’s award-winning and hugely popular undergraduate course at the University of Texas, this book explores these questions and the fundamentally sociological processes which underlie the quest for morality and justice in human societies. The Author’s goal is not to advocate any particular moral "high ground" but to shed light on the social movements and social processes which are at the root of these seemingly personal moral questions. Under 200 printed pages, this slim paperback is priced and sized to be easily assigned in a variety of undergraduate courses that touch on the social bases underlying these contested and contentious issues.

Alaska It’s been five years since I left home. Five years of living alone, until my twin sister convinces me to move in with her. I know she’s worried like the rest of my family, but I’m in a much better place now. On move in day, she surprises me with a family cruise that leads me to run into a hot guy at the airport. I can’t seem to escape him when he appears on the cruise too. I told myself I’d never get involved with another guy after what happened in high school, but Drew is different. Something about him calms me, yet unnerves me, and when he gets notes telling him to stay away from me, I know I’m doomed. I can’t stay away from him. Drew Since my parents passed away, I've been throwing myself into my job. My best friend thinks it's time for me to take a vacation and he has the perfect thing in mind, a cruise to Alaska. I never expected to meet Alaska on my way there. She thinks we’re just meeting for the first time, but that’s far from the truth.

Freedom Bird
Author: Chris Bunch
Publisher: Allan Cole
ISBN: 1608362787
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
DURING THE VIETNAM WAR, GIs who managed to survive their tour of duty in one piece—more or less—were flown home in chartered airliners. They called those planes “Freedom Birds.” This is the story of three young men—from wildly different backgrounds—who meet on such a plane and make a pact to spend three days together in San Francisco. Their goal: to spend every cent of their mustering out money in a party of a lifetime. And they’ll get more than they bargained for: because when they land, it is July 1967—in a time that would come to be known as “The Summer of Love.” It’s a place and time where each young man will have to confront the ghosts who followed them home from the jungles of Vietnam and contemplate a future none of them had imagined.

Household Perspectives on Minority Language Maintenance and Loss
Author: Isabel Velázquez
Publisher: Multilingual Matters
ISBN: 1788922298
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
This book provides an in-depth examination of minority language maintenance and loss within a group of first-generation Spanish-speaking families in the early-21st century, post-industrial, hyper-globalized US Midwest, an area that has a recent history of Latino settlement and has a low ethnolinguistic vitality for Spanish. It looks specifically at language ‘in the small spaces’, that is, everyday interactions within households and families, and gives a detailed account of the gendered nature of linguistic transmission in immigrant households, as well as offering insights into the sociolinguistic aspects of language contact dynamics. Starting with the question of why speakers choose to use and transmit their family language in communities with few opportunities to use it, this book presents the reader with a theoretical model of language maintenance in low vitality settings. It incorporates mothers’ voices and perspectives on mothering, their families’ well-being, and their role in cultural/linguistic transmission and compares the self-perceptions, motivations, attitudes and language acquisition histories of members of two generations within the same household. It will appeal to researchers and educators interested in bilingualism, language maintenance and family language dynamics as well as to those working in the areas of education, immigration and sociology.
