BOOK EXCERPT:

The Constitution of the United States insures that there should be justice for all. In theory, this is the goal, but in practice, this may not be the case. In the current climate of our justice system, some benefit more than the others and many suffer because they either didn't have the resources to protect themselves, or those whose job is to administer justice no longer care about doing that job but only the end result, which is to win at all costs. The deeper result is that many Americans end up in prison, many families are destroyed, and the cost to all is enormous. Mario Delvecchio, no criminal by any standards, and until his arrest and conviction - as his greatest crimes - two parking tickets, and perhaps, a speeding violation. But the government needed to put an end to this crime spree and moved to administer justice. Mario soon discovered that truly, justice is blind. It is blind to the truth and what is right. And no matter what you say and do, and no matter what the facts, you are guilty until proven innocent. And proving one's innocence is no easy task. Mario is charged with a federal crime, convicted, and sentenced to a federal facility to begin the task of "rehabilitation" in order to regain his right to return to society. Armed with a keen sense of humor and a jaded sense of reality, Mario describes the ordeal of what just about every American could encounter based on our current judicial system. All Americans should be aware that no matter what you think, American justice does not recognize that ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL.

In this saucy, sexy romp—third in the Classy 'n' Sassy series—a lingerie shop marketing director is ready to get back in the dating game after divorcing her cheating ex-husband. Will she finally find her one and only this time around? Penny used to love working at Classy 'n' Sassy Lingerie shop as the marketing director for her best friends Bryn and Mia, but lately, hearing stories of love and passion from customers is grating on her nerves since she’s been unlucky in the love department and is still recovering from her messy divorce. Determined to get back out there and have a little fun, Penny wants to start looking for the man who will truly be the love of her life, but the hunky bouncer at her favorite bar keeps catching her eye... As a football coach and bouncer at the local watering hole, Thor’s always had pretty good luck with women. But he’s tired of that life, and wants to find that “something” that's been missing in all of his past relationships. And there’s no way a bar is the place to meet that special someone, right? Although lately, when Bryn and Mia and their newly-single, hot-as-sin, classy, and sassy friend Penny stop by for drinks, he’s been thinking maybe the bar is exactly the right place to be… Written with Stephanie Haefner’s signature sexy wit, One Size Fits All is a perfect laugh-out-loud love story.

Times Of History Times Of Nature

BOOK EXCERPT:

As climate change becomes an increasingly important part of public discourse, the relationship between time in nature and history is changing. Nature can no longer be considered a slow and immobile background to human history, and the future can no longer be viewed as open and detached from the past. Times of History, Times of Nature engages with this historical shift in temporal sensibilities through a combination of detailed case studies and synthesizing efforts. Focusing on the history of knowledge, media theory, and environmental humanities, this volume explores the rich and nuanced notions of time and temporality that have emerged in response to climate change.

This edited collection explores the malleability and influence of body image, focusing particularly on how media representation and popular culture’s focus on the body exacerbates the crucial social influence these representations can have on audiences’ perceptions of themselves and others. Contributors investigate the cultural context and lived experiences of individuals’ relationships with their bodies, going beyond examination of the thin, ideal body type to explore the emerging representations and portrayals of a diverse set of body types across the media spectrum, paving the way for future research on this topic. Scholars of media studies, popular culture, and health communication will find this book particularly useful.

BOOK EXCERPT:

Academic success requires talent (ability), which is not equally distributed among students. Almost all American undergraduates hail from K–12 public schools, based on the theory that everyone is academically educable. This has led to the one-size-fits-all system, which has underserved the less academically inclined students, a majority of the K-12 population. The theory that every student is academically educable, an unverified axiom of the current K-12 educational paradigm, has not been subjected to serious scrutiny. Consequently, little progress has been made toward curricular revision except tweaks of the existing system, currently the world’s most expensive. However testing, classroom performance, teacher assessment, advances in human biology and, most importantly, family and community experience, suggest that it is possible to determine who is suited for an academic or a technical education. Once that hurdle is crossed, the question of how to best educate/train/prepare America’s non-academic youth can be thoughtfully, practically and compassionately addressed.
