Magic in the Moon
Heated shifter romance. Part of the Bound Series, book 5. The story continues throughout (Not standalone reads). After their last battle, the peace the immortals sought is still not within their grasp. Davion has woken, but what he tells them has the potential to throw them into further turmoil as there seems to be a new player on the field. The grizzly twins seem to have taken a shine to one of the women Maisie held prisoner. Is it just their usual penchant for sharing, or is it something more? Just when they think it’s beginning to settle down, a body is discovered. Once more, the immortals must band together, all with a reporter on the case. All they need is one night so that at least one of the mates can get through the binding ceremony. It’s going to take skill, finesse and strategic planning to pull it off, and maybe a little bit of magic in the moon. Contains humour, profanity, adult sex scenes and suspense.
From Grammar to Science
Although efforts have been under way for the past two centuries to treat language scientifically, linguists and others who work with language, speech, or communication have not found an adequate scientific foundation in current linguistic theory. Many of the difficulties are caused by longstanding confusions between the logical domain of science and grammar and the physical domain of sound waves and the people who speak and understand. In this book, therefore, the last impediments of tradition, the ancient semiotic-grammatical foundations of linguistics, are set aside. We move into the physical domain, where theories and hypotheses can be tested against observations of the physical reality. ...
HOW TO WORK FOR AN IDIOT (EasyRead Large Bold Edition)
John Hoover, an organizational leadership consultant, discusses how to deal with an "Idiot Boss" - or I-Boss - who does stupid things. Hoover distinguishes idiots from other tricky bosses, including those who think they are God, or who are paranoid, sadistic or Machiavellian. He leaves the reader with a couple of issues. First, you'll think no good, caring bosses still exist. Second, he doesn't tell you clearly where to set boundaries or when enough is finally enough. He often advocates appeasing bad bosses, although his other counsel on how to deal with them has some effective pointers. To his credit, Hoover is very candid about how he has learned from experience, including his mistakes. He offers personal examples from his experiences at Disney and elsewhere, and tries to write in a light-hearted or whimsical vein. getAbstract.com finds the book strongest when it is strategic and weakest when it tries to be funny, given that with bad bosses you only laugh to keep from crying.

Decolonizing the Republic
Decolonizing the Republic is a conscientious discussion of the African diaspora in Paris in the post–World War II period. This book is the first to examine the intersection of black activism and the migration of Caribbeans and Africans to Paris during this era and, as Patrick Manning notes in the foreword, successfully shows how “black Parisians—in their daily labors, weekend celebrations, and periodic protests—opened the way to ‘decolonizing the Republic,’ advancing the respect for their rights as citizens.” Contrasted to earlier works focusing on the black intellectual elite, Decolonizing the Republic maps the formation of a working-class black France. Readers will better com...
