Fearful Secrets
Indiana, 1899. When fourteen-year-old Naomi Campbell discovers she is pregnant, she is ecstatic. Now, she and the handsome Sam Sanders can spend the rest of their lives together and build a wonderful future. Unfortunately, Sam is less than thrilled with the idea. His engagement to Susan Metter, whose father owns almost every business in town, has assured him a comfortable future, and he's not about to give it up for some foolish girl. The barrel of a shotgun owned by Naomi's father makes Sam think otherwise, and he and Naomi marry. But now that he's had the silver spoon ripped from his mouth, Sam is determined to make his new wife's life more miserable than his own. For the next four years, Naomi endures Sam's cruelty while she raises their two children. But during Naomi's third pregnancy, her husband dies from a mysterious blood disease. Her happiness and relief is short-lived, however, when her newborn daughter suffers the same fate. Widowed at eighteen and having already endured a lifetime of sorrow, all Naomi wants is to be loved. But will moving to a new town and starting over help her find true love, or add to her heartache?
Ecosystem Ecology
What can ecological science contribute to the sustainable management and conservation of the natural systems that underpin human well-being? Bridging the natural, physical and social sciences, this book shows how ecosystem ecology can inform the ecosystem services approach to environmental management. The authors recognise that ecosystems are rich in linkages between biophysical and social elements that generate powerful intrinsic dynamics. Unlike traditional reductionist approaches, the holistic perspective adopted here is able to explain the increasing range of scientific studies that have highlighted unexpected consequences of human activity, such as the lack of recovery of cod populations on the Grand Banks despite nearly two decades of fishery closures, or the degradation of Australia's fertile land through salt intrusion. Written primarily for researchers and graduate students in ecology and environmental management, it provides an accessible discussion of some of the most important aspects of ecosystem ecology and the potential relationships between them.

Culture as Soft Power
This book contributes to bridge the gap between different scholarly communities interested in the entanglements of culture and politics in the international arena. It sheds light on existing connections in their parallel evolution with a thorough literature review, complemented by several case studies showing the fruitful character of their interdisciplinary mobilisation. Through the notions of cultural relations, intellectual cooperation and cultural diplomacy, the book draws on a soft power perspective to offer a shared, novel, and interdisciplinary theoretical framework to approach cultural institutions and organisations that have been previously examined as isolated objects: for example, cultural institutes, international organisations, literary magazines, and literary contests. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume justifies the relevance of its content for scholars working in the history of international relations, international cultural relations and intellectual history, comparative literature, sociology of literature and global literary studies.
Broadway Musicals, 1943-2004
On March 31, 1943, the musical Oklahoma! premiered and the modern era of the Broadway musical was born. Since that time, the theatres of Broadway have staged hundreds of musicals--some more noteworthy than others, but all in their own way a part of American theatre history. With more than 750 entries, this comprehensive reference work provides information on every musical produced on Broadway since Oklahoma's 1943 debut. Each entry begins with a brief synopsis of the show, followed by a three-part history: first, the pre-Broadway story of the show, including out-of-town try-outs and Broadway previews; next, the Broadway run itself, with dates, theatres, and cast and crew, including replacements, chorus and understudies, songs, gossip, and notes on reviews and awards; and finally, post-Broadway information with a detailed list of later notable productions, along with important reviews and awards.
