Our Red Book

A collection of essays, oral histories, and artworks about periods across all stages of life, compiled by the editor of the New York Times bestselling anthology My Little Red Book. Rachel Kauder Nalebuff was a shy teenager who was embarrassed to talk about anything relating to the body when she first heard her great aunt's harrowing story of getting her first period while on a train fleeing Nazi-occupied Poland. Rachel started wondering about other stories like this, other intimate histories that have never been told. She started asking people--friends, family members, and later, artists, writers, politicians, and public thinkers--about their own memories of menstruation and growing up. Stor...

A Risk Worth Taking

She's redefining her past, and he's fighting for his future. Can they find love along the way? Completing a demanding Physical Therapy program isn’t just a degree for Taos native Claudia Romero; it’s her declaration to the world that she’s more than her past, more than the girl whose impulsive lie years earlier almost sent her first love to jail. But when she runs into the man she once had a passionate one-night stand with years earlier, there’s no denying the attraction they felt that night is still there, stronger than ever. For Navy SEAL Trevor Hawthorne, it’s been a year and a half since a deadly ambush changed his life forever, the adrenaline rush that was the only life he knew now replaced with the need to constantly prove that he's as good as, if not better than the man he was before. As Claudia grapples with her past and Trevor with his new reality, can they embrace the changes within themselves and take a second chance on love? Or will the shadows of their pasts stand in the way of a happy-ever-after?

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY PAIN?

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY PAIN? Preparing for church on October 10, 2010, I was reminded of the ways in which I was being used by God in accomplishing HIS will. I am truly grateful, appreciative and remorseful all at the same time. Remorseful because I can remember a time I not only ran from God and what HE had to offer me, but I doubted HIS existence. Grateful because in spite of me and my past, God still loved me [John 15:13] and wanted nothing but the best for me. Appreciative because God never stopped trying to reach me! In creating me for a purpose with a purpose, HE was persistent in HIS approach in making sure I receive my inheritance. Persistent to the point of revealing HIMSELF to me and...

Testing and Characterisation of Earth-based Building Materials and Elements

This book presents the work done by the RILEM Technical Committee 274-TCE. It focuses on the estimation of the parameters which are necessary to properly design earthen constructions. It provides a compilation of the value classically obtained for the key parameters of earthen materials, a pedagogical presentation of the main testing procedures for earthen materials, their advantage and their drawback and an overview of most standards on earthen materials, whatever their origin and their language.The book is divided into eight chapters. After a general introduction on earthen materials and constructions, the state of the art on the material characterisation technics, the assessment of hygrothermal performance, the mechanical behaviour, seismic resistance and the durability will be presented, each in a dedicated chapter. On the basis of these last chapters, a critical review of the standards which are used for earthen material will be presented in the last chapter. The last chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the environmental potential of earth-based building materials.

Other Side of Love

After her last relationship ends in disaster, travel nurse Sarah Drexel takes a job on the reservation, believing it far enough away from civilization for anyone to recognize her.

He used to be her best friend until the night she told him her deepest darkest secrets and everything changed between them. But Sarah's not the only one with something to hide. For Benny, being half-Navajo means straddling two worlds. It means never quite belonging to either one without having to constantly prove himself. But just when he decides to settle down on the reservation for good, Benny runs into the only woman he's always wanted but convinced himself he could never have. Until now. Duty or love? Which one will he choose?*
