Malibu Nanny: Adventures of the Former Kardashian Nanny takes you on the real escapades of a small-town girl who becomes enthralled with Hollywood. Pam Behan was one of the original Beverly Hills nannies. She meets many famous celebrities, and even dates Sylvester Stallone at the height of his Rocky and Rambo fame. After three years of caring for Bruce's sons, Brandon and Brody Jenner (The Hills), Pam becomes the nanny to the Kardashian kids - Kourtney (then 12), Kim (then 10), Khloe (then 6), and Robert (then 4) - on the very day Bruce and Kris are married. From lavish vacations in Mexico, to hilarious stories about their daily lives, Pam doesn't hold back and gives readers insight into the trials and tribulations of a Hollywood nanny, and life inside the Jenner and Kardashian homes before they became household names. Read how Pam's desire for adventure eventually takes her from the glamour of Malibu to culture shock in Tennessee, ultimately leading her back home to a simple life in the Midwest, and the greatest adventure of all - motherhood.
The United States is the only industrialized democracy that allows its citizens to go entirely without health care for lack of funds or to be bankrupted by medical bills. Author Pamela Behan was confronted by the effects of this policy failure during her previous career as a nurse, and with Solving the Health Care Problem, she examines how it can be corrected.

For those interested in learning more about the personal impact of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, Narrating the Storm serves as an essential read. This important and timeless volume is a compilation of sixteen narratives that address the experiences of Gulf Coast residents, faculty, and graduate students who were caught up in the largest (not so) natural disaster in United States history. Each contributor deploys storytelling sociology as a methodological approach in order to illustrate how “personal” experiences with disaster are not so personal, but rather reflect and are informed by larger social phenomena related to issues including race, class, gender, age, bureaucracy, risk, collective memory, the blasé, and more. The narratives in this volume exemplify how inequality and injustice are unveiled, exacerbated, and created by the occurrence of disaster; and reveal the sociological in everyday and not-so-everyday experiences.

When we observe the world from a place of gratitude, when we use our attention to spot beauty and gaze at wonder, we tune in to a frequency of magic. This joy channel is the most p...
