Many children's stories and books have addressed the idea of biblical creation, but the number of works written to acquaint youngsters with the extraordinary and continuing process of natural evolution has been few. The Tree of Life shares the excitement and the beauty of evolution in an easy-to-read and fun manner. From the ocean's microscopic life to amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, insects, birds, animals, and the first humans, author Ellen Jackson celebrates the marvels of evolution in a way that encourages young children to appreciate its significance. The lavish illustrations by Judeanne Winter Wiley capture the wonders of evolution, from its first "beginning to be" forms to species that characterize the world as we know it.

Reading Work: Literacies in the New Workplace explores changing understandings of literacy and its place in contemporary workplace settings. It points to new questions and dilemmas to consider in planning and teaching workplace education. By taking a social perspective on literacies in the workplace, this book challenges traditional thinking about workplace literacy as functional skills, and enables readers to see the complexity of literacy practices and their embeddedness in culture, knowledge, and action. A mixture of ethnographic studies, analysis, and personal reflections makes these ideas accessible and relevant to a wide range of readers in the fields of adult literacy and language education and helps to bridge the divide between theory and practice in the field of workplace education.Reading Work: Literacies in the New Workplace features: *four distinct but related ethnographies of literacy use in contemporary workplaces;*a social practice view of literacy brought to the workplace;*collaborative research undertaken by experienced workplace educators and academics working in the areas of adult literacy and second language learning;*implications chapters for both practice and theory--presented not as a series of steps but rather as reflections by seasoned educators on shared dilemmas; and*engaging, accessible writing that encourages workplace practitioners to read, learn from, and do their own research.This book is an important resource for practicing workplace educators, trainers, and instructors; academics who teach workplace educators; unionists, policymakers, human resource managers, supervisors, or quality coordinators who believe education can make a difference and are interested in seeing maximum results from workplace learning.

Because of the widespread use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), concerns have been expressed that a disruption of GPS might require a national investment in backup capabilities. The authors assess the costs associated with realistic threats to domestic, nonmilitary uses of GPS, and review possible additions to the PNT ecosystem in light of those costs.
Fødselsdag; mitt første år som mor, eller En reise i underverdenen
Ida Jackson

Da Ida Jackson ble gravid, tenkte hun at hennes viktigste oppgave som flink, moderne kvinne var å komme seg uforandret gjennom svangerskap, fødsel og barsel. Hun skulle føde naturlig, og raskest mulig vende tilbake; jobbe som før, leve som før. Men hun oppdaget fort at både kroppen og barnet tilhørte biologiens, ikke sivilisasjonens rike. Det å sette et barn til verden ble en erfaring av å måtte gi seg hen til det organiske, til kaoskreftene, til alt som ikke lar seg kontrollere. Jackson skildrer fødselserfaringens språkløse, skremmende og overskridende natur, alt dette hun skal igjennom før hun kan møte blikket til det rasende urvesenet som er blitt til inni henne.Fødselsdag er en litterær og selvbiografisk utforskning av livets opprinnelse, en personlig sterk, poetisk og politisk bok. En bok om å bli med barn, om å få et barn. Om å bli noen helt andre.Anmelderne mener: «... jeg kan ikke lese om timene i sykehussenga på Ullevål uten å gråte – fordi hun fanger noe av essensen av å være i kroppens og institusjonenes vold så godt: følelser som hjelpeløshet, skam og ydmykelse, forventninger som brister som skjedeveggene. Jackson skriver rasjonelt om det irrasjonelle, klartenkt om det kroppslige. (...) Jackson borer seg inn i den intense symbiosen mellom mor og barn som tar så mange av oss på senga, uansett hvor mye vi har lest og forberedt oss. Hun beskriver Sisyfos-arbeidet amming av og til kan føles som, med en intensitet og råskap som får det til å verke i brystene.»Hedda Lingaas Fossum, Klassekampen«Jackson skriver for å fremme en holdningsendring, samtidig som hun ønsker seg konkrete politiske endringer. (…) i Fødselsdag skriver hun godt om helsevesenets manglende tilrettelegging og oppfølging, både i skildringen av sønnens fødsel og i beskrivelser av to aborter hun har opplevd tidligere i livet. Det sammenvevde i fødsel og død er blant tingene hun skildrer best.» Carina Elisabeth Beddari, Morgenbladet«Ikke mer bysse-bysse-barnet etter denne rå og hemningsløse skildringen av fødsel og barseltid.»Espen Søbye, Morgenbladet
When a woman comes between brothers, passions take wingsPilots, partners and brothers, Jake and Tucker Maddox, are both in love with Molly O'Brien and she's in love with them. Only she won't choose between the two of them. Drawing the line in the sand, the brothers tell her they aren't willing to share. Molly O'Brien has spent most of her young life mooning over the Maddox brothers, head over heels in love with Jack and Tuck, having slept with each and committed to neither. Because of their sibling rivalry, she has refused to choose one over the other and ultimately tells them it'll never work. With her biological clock ticking and her brothers' girls expecting babies, she's ready to get on with her life, and targets the local sheriff's deputy as her potential baby daddy and husband material.On the verge of losing the best gal that ever happened to them, the two brothers hatch a desperate scheme. Risking an ass-whooping from Molly's big brothers, jail time and the wrath of a woman duped, they join forces to kidnap Molly, carrying her away to their remote cabin where they will attempt to convince her she can have both of them, if she dares and they don't kill each other.
Passions burn between a Kiowa cowboy and a red-hot former stripperIt's Jackson Gray Wolf's thirtieth birthday, and he has little to show for it. No woman, no kids and no prospects for dates. Sure, the Kiowa cowboy has a ranch and two younger brothers, but he's in a rut where women are concerned, until the pretty little owner of the Ugly Stick Saloon captures his attention. A hot encounter in the saloon storeroom ends before he can get her out of studded red cowboy boots. Audrey Anderson is trying to shake her former occupation as a stripper and project her new role as the savvy business owner of the Ugly Stick Saloon. Now instead of taking off her own clothes, she manages a bevy of strippers. When one of her strippers calls in sick, she's forced to slip on a mask and into her role as the kinky Kiki Cox for the Gray Wolf twins surprise party for their older brother. Not that she minds, not after a sizzling near miss with Jackson in her own storeroom. His mind on the red boots and tight tush of a certain saloon owner, Jackson doesn't want the birthday party his twin brothers are throwing. But his promise to ignore the stripper goes awry when she shows him just how willing she is to please him and his brothers.Audrey gives them her all, but fears the one she wants might be more interested in the sexy stripper Kiki than the tamer saloon owner, Audrey.

She's a free-riding, biker-chick with attitude...they're just the Kiowa cowboys who can rein her in. Running from her past for over a year, Libby Jones makes a stop in Temptation, Texas, and takes a job at the Ugly Stick Saloon. Eight months later, she knows she must leave or risk her past catching up with her. Then why did she take the Gray Wolf twins up on an offer to go riding on their ranch? Getting involved isn't in the cards for this free-rider. Mark and Luke Gray Wolf have been trying to capture Libby Jones's attention since she'd started work at the Ugly Stick, only she's blown them off at every attempt to ask her out, until now. Determined to show her a good time on the ranch, they take her to their special project site and show her what she's been missing. Their plan: to expose her to the temptations only twins can provide to persuade her to stay for the long haul. Convinced she's falling for the two, Libby longs for a life she can't have, knowing she must leave before her whereabouts are discovered. But all hell breaks loose when her past walks through the doors of the saloon. The Gray Wolf twins have a fight on their hands to keep Libby from running again.Warning: This title contains hot scenes with even hotter Kiowa twins and a motorcyle-riding, leather-clad biker chick. Caution-bring your fan and iced drinks to the reading, the pages sizzle

Rigging the auction so that Bunny has the winning bid, they embark on a mission to woo the pretty lady despite all the barriers that stand in the way. Willing to share her, the two cowboys must convince her one woman can handle both men.
