When Christian music superstar Evan Worthy's brothers want out--off the road and it's up to him to provide a home for all of them. Who can care for his family like Evan? When he hires Matt's online friend's sister to cook and clean, can his brother's keep the secret of his identity from his greatest fan? Cam has been the caretaker for her sisters and cancer stricken father for many years. When she loses her job and is offered a housekeeping position by her sister's online friend, she jumps at the chance. Just cooking in the huge, well-stocked kitchen delights her. Caring for this bunch means keeping Kiri and Matt from teenage temptation, watching Keith and Sydney fall madly in love and hoping, wishing that the third Beers brother, her mysterious online pen-pal, might develop feelings of his own. Will Evan choose a life off the road for his brothers' sake or will Cam be the one who can make a home all of them?
In light of the intertwining logics of military competition and economic interdependence at play in US-China relations, Trading with the Enemy examines how the United States has balanced its potentially conflicting national security and economic interests in its relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC). To do so, Hugo Meijer investigates a strategically sensitive yet under-explored facet of US-China relations: the making of American export control policy on military-related technology transfers to China since 1979. Trading with the Enemy is the first monograph on this dimension of the US-China relationship in the post-Cold War. Based on 199 interviews, declassified documents, a...

This book addresses the issue of preadolescent boys literacy practices and the social construction of their identities as they navigate multiple classroom literacies. Exploring the role of the teacher, the role of multiple literacies and the way they “count” or do not count in the classroom curriculum through qualitative and quantitative findings, allows educators to rethink and reflect upon current instructional beliefs and practices. As educators align their curriculum with the Common Core Standards it is imperative for them to consider how they will meet each students’ individual learning styles. Demonstrating growth across time through artifact collection, and analysis and teacher research inquiries, will demand that teachers release pre-conceived notions concerning gender and literacy practices. At the end of each chapter there is a self-reflection as transformative practice, teacher research questionnaire that invites the opportunity to take what is shared in each chapter and apply it immediately to instructional practices and classroom environment decisions.
"God, Jackie...you never know anything. Get your head out of the sand." Jackie Gennaro's pretty, precocious best friend, Sloane Bettinger, seems to know a lot about everything, including Jackie's beloved police officer father, Mike, her emotionally distant mother, Maria, and their handsome, popular neighbor, Keith Donovan. All Jackie knows is that certain subjects are never mentioned in her house, including Sloane's unconventional mother, Sharon, Jackie's painfully intense attraction toward Keith, and most especially, the tragic death of her brother, Chris. Jackie follows the unspoken family rules and enjoys her happy and sheltered childhood in New York City during the turbulent 1970s. But as the 1980s begin, Jackie is touched by unexpected events that will break her heart and change her life forever.
Jake thought Nicole was the perfect girl. Nicole thought Jake was just another clown, like his best friend, Mike. After being rejected by Nicole in his attempt at a date, Jake vows he'd never treat a guy like that if he were her. The next day, his unintentional wish comes true as they wake up in each others' rooms...and bodies. Will they look for answers together or tear each others' lives apart?
How a built environment that is robotic and interactive becomes an apt home to our restless, dynamic, and increasingly digital society. The relationship of humans to computers can no longer be represented as one person in a chair and one computer on a desk. Today computing finds its way into our pockets, our cars, our appliances; it is ubiquitous—an inescapable part of our everyday lives. Computing is even expanding beyond our devices; sensors, microcontrollers, and actuators are increasingly embedded into the built environment. In Architectural Robotics, Keith Evan Green looks toward the next frontier in computing: interactive, partly intelligent, meticulously designed physical environmen...
For most of us, the varied parts of our personalities are woven together and unified by our memories. But what happens when we have no memories? What happens when the components of memory (facts, feelings, and body states) are split apart and no longer relate to each other? When this story began more than 40 years ago, doctors and psychiatrists were mystified by patients with more than one personality. The diagnosis at the time was Multiple Personality Disorder. Lillian was afflicted with this condition owing to severe abuse during her childhood. Her mind held each trauma separately. Each personality took over her body, developing a life and personality of its own. Lillian’s aunt, Jean, be...
