They haven't quite managed to tame her wild streak. It is to be The Match of the Season. At least, that's what Lady Carlotta Merritt, sister to the cool and aloof Duke of Cashingham, has been told repeatedly by her mother. The Dowager is beyond thrilled about her daughter's engagement to Society's most eligible bachelor, Lord What's-His-Face. Carlotta, on the other hand, would much rather be gallivanting around her brother's Yorkshire estate, falling out of trees or fishing in the streams or reading one of her naughty books in the shade on a summer day. But her mother has made it very clear that she's to behave herself, as befitting the sister of a duke, and Carlotta has been trying, honest....

In Do-It-Yourself Democracy, sociologist Caroline W. Lee examines how participatory innovations have reshaped American civic life over the past two decades. Lee looks at the public engagement industry that emerged to serve government, corporate, and nonprofit clients seeking to gain a handle on the increasingly noisy demands of their constituents and stakeholders. New technologies and deliberative practices have democratized the ways in which organizations operate, but Lee argues that they have also been marketed and sold as tools to facilitate cost-cutting, profitability, and other management goals - and that public deliberation has burdened everyday people with new responsibilities without delivering on its promises of empowerment.

Fenella Oliphant has always thought it apropos she was named after an herb: Useful, subtle, and not much to look at. But in the Oliphant Castle kitchens none of that matters, because she is the one in command...that is, as long as she can keep from being distracted by the dangerously delicious beast who's planted his shapely arse beside her hearth and insists on offering unwanted advice. Brodie McClure doesn't know who he is anymore. He used to be one of His Majesty's elite Hunters, bodyguard to his laird and damned handsome to boot. But now, he's scarred and maimed, relegated to peeling carrots in the kitchens, while watching the most tempting little morsel alternate between blushing pretti...

Hair is fashion and fashion is hair, a fascinating symbiotic relationship which is investigated in detail in this timely book.
