From Sea to Shining Sea is a story of exploration and discovery in the depths of the seas of Earth and on the Jovian moon of Europa. In the height of the Cold War, a submarine operating out of Portsmouth Shipyard was diverted to investigate a potential Soviet threat in the North Atlantic. That submarine suffers a tragic accident and is lost with all hands. One hundred years later, the crew of an experimental research submersible, the R/S Balanus, was sent by the United Nations and the US Navy to investigate something unusual in some of the deepest waters of the North Atlantic. What Jack Wolfe and Wil Nelson thought was a demonstration dive of Sea Technologies and Explorations newest design was actually something quite different. The final test dive of the R/S Balanus would take the crew to explore the darkness and a dangerous unknown. Dr. Arnie Hanson of the UN Interplanetary Space Corps suspected that what drew the R/S Balanus to investigate the abyss was in some way related to what the crew of the spaceship Endeavor had discovered on Europa miles under the ice in the Sea of Conamara Chaos. If he was correct, what these two groups of explorers found could change the world forever.

A ground-breaking volume of all new essays covering the conjunction of two topics--feminism and families--that, for all their centrality in our culture, have not been adequately examined in light of one another. While the family has suffered feminist neglect, most women are in fact members of families, living their lives within the social context of families, even at a time when the concept of "family" has become bewilderingly unstable. The intersection of families and feminism is thus one in need of philosophical reflection, as a basis both for good public policy and for the ethical relationships of intimate life.
At a very young age, Olivia left her family and traditions in Mexico to live with her mother, Carmen, in one of Los Angeles's most exclusive and nearly all-white gated communities. Based on over twenty years of research, Romero brings Olivia's remarkable story to life.

Retribution takes place in Sacramento, California, in the late 1990s. The story details the crises the main character, Werner Manheim--the sixty-five-year-old owner of the largest structural engineering firm in the city--goes through personally and professionally after losing an arbitration proceeding to the architects GBA, who hired his firm on a new local high school project. His maneuverings to overcome the effects of he and his wife, Georgina, having to pay off the arbitration award and interest to the architects and his legal expenses to his long-time friend, Brent Bannock, who represented him during the arbitration, are detailed. The drama of adversaries and others on both sides and how they affect the escalating series of events, adding additional monetary stress, progresses to a surprising conclusion.
The forecast calls for a first crush after Stevie makes a wish for something new and daring in this authentic, funny Sisters Club adventure. (Age 10 and up) As the middle sister in a family with three girls, Stevie Reel doesn’t know much about boys, and that’s always been just fine with her. But lately, things have been changing: kids at school are starting to pair up, and Owen, the new boy in her Earth Science class, seems to have his sights set on Stevie. The trouble is, Stevie doesn’t want a boyfriend- she’s not even sure she’s ready to have a boy friend. And her sisters, who know exactly where they stand on the issue of boys, are no help: drama queen Alex is busy trying to orchestrate a perfect, Romeo-and-Juliet-style first kiss from her heartthrob, Scott Towel (er, Howell), while Joey can’t understand why anyone would like a boy better than a frog anyway. If only figuring out boys were as easy as predicting the weather!
