Stay with Me
Slipping through time wasn't the fairy tale she'd always dreamed of. When a pair of headlights slammed into her car, Emma expected to wake in a hospital bed, not alone and confused in 1351 Scotland. Her antique locket now looks new, and it holds cryptic clues about the unfamiliar place—and time—where she finds herself. Alien in both manner and appearance, she is believed to be a fairy and becomes the unwanted houseguest of a skeptical, boorish crofter named Iain, in whom she discovers an unexpected tenderness. After what happened the last time a stranger darkened his door, Iain has good reason to suspect the beautiful, mysterious woman beseeching him for help, however convincingly helple...
The Scientific American Book of Love, Sex and the Brain
Who do we love? Who loves us? And why? Is love really a mystery, or can neuroscience offer some answers to these age-old questions? In her third enthralling book about the brain, Judith Horstman takes us on a lively tour of our most important sex and love organ and the whole smorgasbord of our many kinds of love-from the bonding of parent and child to the passion of erotic love, the affectionate love of companionship, the role of animals in our lives, and the love of God. Drawing on the latest neuroscience, she explores why and how we are born to love-how we're hardwired to crave the companionship of others, and how very badly things can go without love. Among the findings: parental love mak...
The Identifying Fictions of Toni Morrison
Although all published biographical information on Toni Morrison agrees that her birth name was Chloe Anthony Wofford, John Duvall's book challenges this claim. Using new biographical information, he explores the issue of names and naming in Morrison's fiction and repeatedly finds surprising traces of the Nobel Prize-winning author's struggle to construct a useable identity as an African American woman novelist. Whatever the exact circumstances surrounding her decision to become Toni, one thing becomes clear: the question of identity was not a given for Morrison.

Desperate to break the curse that enslaves her, Chalice agrees.

Sea Change at Annapolis
Since 1845, the United States Naval Academy has prepared professional military leaders at its Annapolis, Maryland, campus. Although it remains steeped in a culture of tradition and discipline, the Academy is not impervious to change. Dispelling the myth that the Academy is a bastion of tradition unmarked by progress, H. Michael Gelfand examines challenges to the Naval Academy's culture from both inside and outside the Academy's walls between 1949 and 2000, an era of dramatic social change in American history. Drawing on more than two hundred oral histories, extensive archival research, and his own participatory observation at the Academy, Gelfand demonstrates that events at Annapolis reflect...
