FOREVER . . . The idea of a love that would last forever was something that Cary Reiner had all but given up on after she was so painfully betrayed by her husband. The life she'd always hoped to have as a wife and the mother of their son had been destroyed by selfish lust, and she felt that her world had literally been turned upside down, leaving her alone and hopeless. When God leads a friend and former class-mate named Bruce Dean back into her life, she begins to see things differently. Amid his friendship, Cary learns that Bruce, also a single parent, has been in love with her for years. His own life was filled with pain and regret, however, and he feels unworthy of Cary, despite his love for her. Only when they allow God to speak to them do they realize that all is not lost because of their past mistakes. They learn that God's love can mend any heart, repair any breech, forgive any failure, and win any battle. As Bruce eagerly opens his heart to Cary, she finds herself learning to live, and love, again, and together they hope to find a love that lasts.

The New Joyce Studies indicates the variety and energy of research on James Joyce since the year 2000. Essays examine Joyce's works and their reception in the light of a larger set of concerns: a diverse international terrain of scholarly modes and methodologies, an imperilled environment, and crises of racial justice, to name just a few. This is a Joyce studies that dissolves early visions of Joyce as a sui generis genius by reconstructing his indebtedness to specific literary communities. It models ways of integrating masses of compositional and publication details with literary and historical events. It develops hybrid critical approaches from posthuman, medical, and queer methodologies. It analyzes the nature and consequences of its extension from Ireland to mainland Europe, and to Africa and Latin America. Examining issues of copyright law, translation, and the history of literary institutions, this volume seeks to use Joyce's canonical centrality to inform modernist studies more broadly.

Before Bruce realizes what's happening, Harry has arranged demonstrations and a press conference, leading to unrealistic claims for gravimetal. The media react unfavorably, and Bruce becomes the target of the resulting criticism. Nevertheless he persists and finally makes gravimetal a su...
As societies continue to set educational goals that are, on current performance, beyond the capacity of the system to deliver, strategies for enhancing student learning through school and classroom intervention have become increasingly important. Yet, as David Hopkins argues in his book, many of the educational initiatives recently developed under the umbrella of school improvement are inadequate or unhelpful. Simply blaming teachers and delegating financial responsibility, he maintains, has little positive impact on classroom practice. This is the bleak context within which school improvement has to operate today. School Improvement for Real offers a genuine alternative: a strategy for educ...
