Vera's Song
A storm brews with the awakening of a prophecy... Five years have passed since the battle for the Verinian Forest, and a new threat is on the horizon. Kiatana's young son, Keanu, and his animal companion, Allie, have been abducted from their home, a target of a horrible plot to devastate the realm. Allie is a shifter being with the ability to predict the future and give prophecies, capable of manifesting immense magical power. A villain with malicious intentions desires to use Allie’s abilities to take over the realm, and become ruler of all. Another quest is undertaken, to find the young prince and his companion in order to bring them back to the forest. But discovering where the children have been taken is far from easy, as the obstacles they face are perilous and many. The elves have risen up against Kiatana, and to make matters worse, her memory has been lost along the path, making it so she can’t remember her husband, child, or who she is. To save the children they love, one of Kiatana's friends must be sacrificed. Death is approaching, and afterward, nothing will ever be the same…

When "minorities are Strongly Encouraged to Apply"
Each year, graduates of Ph.D. programs and faculty across the country prepare to enter positions at universities across the country. Included in many job announcements is the phrase «Minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.» In this phrase, the question for many individuals is, «Who/what is considered a minority?» In most cases, the term «minority» only means people of color. This book highlights the experiences of various minority doctoral students pursuing Ph.D.s and junior faculty members across the country who have successfully navigated the academy by securing employment, tenure, and promotion despite the hurdles that cause many to avoid or leave academia altogether. This book will help administrators and faculty face the challenge of recruiting and retaining minority students and faculty as they complete their Ph.D.s and gain tenure.
Re-Centering Culture and Knowledge in Conflict Resolution Practice
The field of conflict resolution centers on relationships and ways of approaching methods for problem solving. These relationships and approaches vary deeply depending on the individual, society, and background, proving that cultural perspective is fundamental to any dispute intervention. Re-Centering Culture and Knowledge in Conflict Resolution Practice is a collection of original essays by scholars and practitioners of conflict resolution and others working in marginalized communities. The volume offers a sampling of the cultural voices essential to effective practice yet not commonly heard in the discourse of conflict resolution. The authors explore the role of culture, race, and oppression in resolving disputes. Drawing on firsthand experience and sound research, the authors address such issues as culturally sensitive mediation practices, the diversity of perspectives in conflict resolution literature, and power dynamics. The first anthology of its kind, this book combines personal narratives with formal scholarship. By melding these varied approaches, the authors seek to inspire activism for social justice in today’s multicultural society.
