Do-it-yourself Democracy
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.

Democratizing Inequalities
Opportunities to “have your say,” “get involved,” and “join the conversation” are everywhere in public life. From crowdsourcing and town hall meetings to government experiments with social media, participatory politics increasingly seem like a revolutionary antidote to the decline of civic engagement and the thinning of the contemporary public sphere. Many argue that, with new technologies, flexible organizational cultures, and a supportive policymaking context, we now hold the keys to large-scale democratic revitalization. Democratizing Inequalities shows that the equation may not be so simple. Modern societies face a variety of structural problems that limit potentials for true...

Love After Marriage and Other Stories of the Heart
"Love After Marriage and Other Stories of the Heart" from Caroline Lee Hentz. American novelist and author (1800-1856).
Astonishing August
August "Sparky" Calendar is a simple sort of gal. Blue jeans, sneakers, and her colorful headwraps are all she needs in life...outside of her epic gaming laptop, her lucky voltmeter, and all of her ghost-hunting equipment. Sparky is determined to become Cauldron Valley's resident supernatural investigator and is doing her best to be professional, which is a little difficult when she keeps tripping over her own two feet. Jax Weston is at his wits' end. He may be a high-powered CEO, but he simply can't function without sleep. And thanks to the strange noises and creepy voices haunting the house he just moved into, he hasn't been able to rest at all. When he hires a local ghost-hunter, he doesn't see any reason why "August" shouldn't move in with him for a week to investigate this strange phenomenon. But the investigator isn't a man, as Jax had assumed. Instead, she's the adorable little bundle of energy he'd almost kissed at his brother's wedding reception...and the attraction he'd felt then hasn't lessened one bit. Sleep might be the last thing on Jax's mind now that Sparky is living with him!
