Sweets to the Sweet
When single mom Laura Anderson rear-ends a vintage Austin-Healey while taking her baby to the doctor, the last thing she expects is to find her Prince Charming behind the wheel. There’s nothing quite as sexy to a new mother as a man who has a way with babies and comes bearing gifts of gourmet chocolate! Especially when his kisses inspire feelings she thought were lost forever... Chocolate baron Owen Reesling knows he should stay away from Laura, a woman still obviously wounded by the breakup of her marriage. But he can’t help but fall for the beauty—and her baby. He won’t push her into a relationship, but he’s determined to do whatever it takes to break down the wall she’s built around her heart and convince her to take another chance on love.

For the Common Good
In For the Common Good: The Bohemian Land Law and the Beginning of the Hussite Revolution Jeanne E.

Grant shows that both Hussite and Catholic representatives of the kingdom who participated in the revolution adhered to consistent and widespread conceptions of their relationship to the kingdom, crown, and king that compelled them to defend the common good as they understood it.
Building Walls
The election of Donald Trump has called attention to the border wall and anti-Mexican discourses and policies, yet these issues are not new. Building Walls puts the recent calls to build a border wall along the US-Mexico border into a larger social and historical context. This book describes the building of walls, symbolic and physical, between Americans and Mexicans, as well as the consequences that these walls have in the lives of immigrants and Latin communities in the United States.

The sections discuss how the idea of the nation-state itself constructs borders, how politi...

This is the story of Peggy and Alan Gutheim and their three children; Phil, the Gutheim scion who has followed his father into law, Carl, quiet and gifted pianist, and finally of "Joan, the child of privilege, whose efforts to become her own person and still be her parents' pride and joy take on tragic dimensions."
Revolutions in Development Inquiry
Robert Chambers returns with a new book that reviews, together for the first time, some of the revolutionary changes in the methodologies and methods of development inquiry that have occurred in the past forty years, and reflects on their transformative potential for the future. This book breaks new ground by describing and analysing the evolution of a sequence of approaches. Starting with the dinosaurs of large-scale multi-subject questionnaire surveys, and the biased visits and perceptions of rural development tourism and urban-based professionals, there follows a look at the explosive proliferation of methodologies and methods of recent years. These include rapid rural appraisal (RRA) par...
