Forty-year-old Ellen Johnson lives in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, Mike, and two young daughters, Jill and Kelly. Following a tragic accident on Christmas Day that takes the lives of her family, Ellen finds herself desperate to redefine who she is now that she’s no longer a wife and a mother.

But can this new man and his investigation team take care of her in the world he’s pulled her into? How can she prove her trust in him if he runs when his confidence gets broken? Ellen finds herself loving a man who becomes elusive, another who is out of reach, and a third who could arrest her if he finds out how she defends herself one August evening. Who can she trust? Who can she tell her story to and know her name is safe on his lips?
Heirs of General Practice is a frieze of glimpses of young doctors with patients of every age—about a dozen physicians in all, who belong to the new medical specialty called family practice. They are people who have addressed themselves to a need for a unifying generalism in a world that has become greatly subdivided by specialization, physicians who work with the "unquantifiable idea that a doctor who treats your grandmother, your father, your niece, and your daughter will be more adroit in treating you." These young men and women are seen in their examining rooms in various rural communities in Maine, but Maine is only the example. Their medical objectives, their successes, the professional obstacles they do and do not overcome are representative of any place family practitioners are working. While essential medical background is provided, McPhee's masterful approach to a trend significant to all of us is replete with affecting, and often amusing, stories about both doctors and their charges.
In the early years of photographic portraiture, posing was an absolute necessity. With extremely slow films, equally slow lenses and a lack of artificial light sources, time dictated long exposures. Due to vastly improved technology, photographers are now able to work freely and naturally, recording spontaneity in their portraits, yet not forgetting the posing rules that existed. As Bill Hurter shows in The Portrait Photographer's Guide To Posing, there is room in the market for both approaches.
"Posing is one of the most important tools used by photographers to optimize the appearance of their subjects. Unfortunately, at weddings--where time is tight and couples don't want lengthy photo sessions to distract them from their guests--there's often little opportunity to craft the best pose for each individual. As Bill Hurter shows in this book, thismeans that photographers need to adopt a new approach to idealizing their subjects. Through staging, subtle direction, and careful observation, Hurter reveals how the skilled photographer, armed with a solid understanding of the principles of posing, can create stunning images that make everyone look their best--and capture more of the emotion and energy of the wedding day"--Back cover.
This book sheds new light on the growing issue of using liability as a tool for both preventing and compensating for the damage caused by climate change. Michael Faure and Marjan Peeters have brought together a selection of expert contributors who explore a variety of both national and European perspectives on the topic. Climate change liability is no longer only a theoretical idea since climate changelitigation has become so hotly debated and this book examines to what extent it can be used for mitigation and adaptation issues. Chapters discuss the potential role of liability within various legal systems, like the national systems of the USA and The Netherlands, but also EU and ECHR law. Liability is outlined in a broad perspective since not only compensation for damage suffered by plaintiffs isdiscussed, but also the need for prevention in order to obtain a reduction of greenhouse gases.
