Betsy looked at Bonnie (Watkins preferred to be called Bonnie) with some excitement regarding Bonnie's newly discovered powers of clairvoyance. Bonnie told Betsy it was as if someone, or something, was living inside her body. After watching what Bonnie's unusual abilities could do, Betsy noticed an aura about her friend that fascinated, and slightly troubled her. But, Betsy loved Bonnie and trusted her judgement; that steadfast trust would radically change their lives.Bonnie's ability to communicate with aliens allowed her to become the world-wide ambassador to the Centaurians. After years of peacefully co-existing with the aliens from the exoplanet, Proxima Centauri b, relations on Earth unexpectedly began to deteriorate. The extra-terrestrials had suddenly started to behave strangely, causing the world's anxiety to accelerate nearly to the point of mass hysteria. All the embassies at the Centaurian village were shut down, and transport to their massive Pacific Ocean compound was halted; earthlings were no longer allowed in. The invasion was planned for the fall of 2042. But, a full day ahead of the scheduled attack, the world was totally shocked when satellite imagery showed that the Centaurian's base was undergoing a colossal change; people believed it was the beginning of the Earth's eradication.
Boris Bethelheim, the wily Deputy Director of our defense research agency, was interested in the perfect biological weapon. One that could destroy an enemy's infrastructure, but in the end could be brought under control. He realized that his former intern, George Brachmann-a doctoral student-had uncovered the answer; slugs with their ability to destroy the soil they lived in. George's Frankenslugs could be that weapon.Boris was a crotchety, wheel-chair bound bureaucrat who wore a white lab coat to remind people to address him as Doctor Bethelheim, just as it was embroidered over his coat's pocket. The whole situation started when George unearthed the slugs while working on his research. Years later when it was revealed that the slugs had been planted in the Middle East, George and his colleagues were faced with the daunting task of eradicating them and restoring the soil. Whoever distributed the slugs-whether Boris or somebody else-would need George's help in controlling them before they destroyed all the arable land in the world. But, who put the slugs out there, and could the infestation be controlled by five young academics? The Soil Is Dead is a compelling story about science and geopolitical intrigue.
By the spring of 2018, Angus MacTavish had flunked out of Glasgow Caledonian University. Deciding to move to America, he ended up in Flint, Michigan, a city he heard of that had a water crisis around four years earlier. Flint seemed like a place Angus was meant to be in; poor, broken, and in need of some TLC.Finding work as an apprentice mechanic, Angus was offered the opportunity by a co-worker to participate in a complex scheme to deceitfully obtain the tool shop where they worked. Angus felt that his acquaintance's plan would fail. But for lack of maturity or the need to be accepted, Angus agreed to go along with him. Angus had gone into debt to Sandy Thompson, a professional criminal in Scotland, to get the documents needed to pull off their fraudulent scheme. When they attempted to carry out their coup the two amateur conmen were immediately sacked. Thompson used Angus' debt to force him into a complex international money laundering venture. Angus, needing to rid himself of Thompson's hold, met with his co-conspirator to discuss repaying their debt, but his accomplice rebuffed him, so Angus killed him.After confessing his problems to his fianc e, she offered to help Angus get rid of Thompson's grip on him. She recruited a New York Times reporter to write Angus' story with the hopes of surviving the consequences. In the end it was Angus' attempted murder of one of Thompson's lackeys that ended Angus MacTavish's saga.

In 1977, Hagit's mother, Makeda, at 17, made Aliyah with her family to Kiryat Malachi (City of Angels) from Ethiopia, where she met Hagit's father, Adam Rosenbloom. In 1983, Adam and Makeda were married and left Israel for another City of Angels, Los Angeles; Hagit was born in 1985. Hagit grew up with majestic beauty and coal black skin inherited from her Ethiopian mother; she never hesitated being identified as a Black woman of Jewish descent. It was on Savannah, Georgia's city council that Sol Mehleck, met this remarkable woman. With her Queen of Sheba beauty and matching intellect, he knew in an instant this woman was going to change the world forever. Sol and his wife, Roz, became confidants of Hagit working for her for nearly twenty years after her elections from Alderman up to President. However, they noticed that Hagit appeared different after her annual visits home. They eventually realized that what they observed was not normal, and that nothing in nature behaved that way. Roz became frightened, so Sol suggested that they ask Hagit's parents about their observations. From them, they learned the truth about Hagit's remarkable beginnings, and how the world would, indeed, be changed forever.
Foundations of Embodied Learning advances learning, instruction, and the design of educational technologies by rethinking the learner as an integrated system of mind, body, and environment. Body-based processes—direct physical, social, and environmental interactions—are constantly mediating intellectual performance, sensory stimulation, communication abilities, and other conditions of learning. This book’s coherent, evidence-based framework articulates principles of grounded and embodied learning for design and its implications for curriculum, classroom instruction, and student formative and summative assessment for scholars and graduate students of educational psychology, instructional design and technology, cognitive science, the learning sciences, and beyond.

Becoming Human argues that human identity was articulated and extended across a wide range of textual, visual, and artifactual assemblages from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries. J. Allan Mitchell shows how the formation of the child expresses a manifold and mutable style of being. To be human is to learn to dwell among a welter of things. A searching and provocative historical inquiry into human becoming, the book presents a set of idiosyncratic essays on embryology and infancy, play and games, and manners, meals, and other messes. While it makes significant contributions to medieval scholarship on the body, family, and material culture, Becoming Human theorizes anew what might be called a medieval ecological imaginary. Mitchell examines a broad array of phenomenal objects—including medical diagrams, toy knights, tableware, conduct texts, dream visions, and scientific instruments—and in the process reanimates distinctly medieval ontologies. In addressing the emergence of the human in the later Middle Ages, Mitchell identifies areas where humanity remains at risk. In illuminating the past, he shines fresh light on our present.
Organizational Behavior: For a Better Tomorrow, 2nd Edition is a unique, blended approach to the subject, combining traditional core competencies with contemporary research and innovative practices. The textbook’s distinctive dual presentation integrates “conventional” and “sustainable” organizational behavior (OB) to help students understand how creativity, collaboration, and ethical decision-making can positively impact people, organizations, and entire communities. This fully-updated second edition provides a balanced, real-world approach that strengthens critical thinking skills, enables students to explore the rationale for sustainable OB practices, and illustrates and how values and ethics influence business decisions in the real world. Rather than focusing only on the short-term, bottom-line approach of traditional OB, the text discusses a comprehensive range of topics, from current trends in popular media and scholarly literature, to addressing the current and long-term needs and goals of organizational stakeholders.
