Ericka is an alluring, ambitious arts marketer on a mission to change the dismissive, elitist attitude the media has with the arts. Ted is an underachieving heir to a media mogul, and a handsome womanizer afraid of commitment. Their affinity for great art drew them together and into a hot, brief affair in Boston. Five years later, he conditionally inherits a radio station in Cleveland where they come together again. After she convinces him to make-over his failing sports talk radio station into "Arts Talk," he makes her program director, but Ericka's aggressive, controversial style gives him fits. The fighting intensifies, raising the temperature on their suppressed sexual desires for each other. The initial transition to Arts Talk is a struggle, hilarious to some, welcoming to others, and vulgar to the elites. Eventually, ratings improve, and success appears plausible when a surprise attack puts the station and Ted's financial future in jeopardy. In the backdrop, federal deregulation and the rise of the Internet are drastically changing the broadcasting industry. A colorful cadre of characters muddle through the changeover with humor and insight. The bull in the arts talk studio is star sports talker, Guy Tripillo, whose ironclad, high-priced contract, and poor employment history tethers him to Ted and Ericka with surprising results. Based on a his own stage play, Truesdell's first novel offers a satirical metaphor forecasting the media, political and class divisiveness percolating at the start of the new millennium. Smartly interwoven is a sassy, romantic comedy with topsy-turvy twists to its newsflash finale.

Women wish for other women to live the best lives possible, yet women do not always share their personal stories of womanhood. In fact, one of the greatest strengths of womanhood may reside in a woman's ability to protect young women from the pains of being a woman. In this calculated abyss of silence--a marked testament of resilience and strength--women remove an essential component of a young woman's grooming by preserving secrets. Assuming that other women don't understand is a faulty judgment that keeps women separated from one another, and from self, simply because women choose not to voice misfortunes. In assuming that too much sharing is harmful, ladies do not share in ways that will help the community overall.Too often, women pass one another as if living different lives in different spaces. However, wisdom teaches that women largely live the same lives in different bodies. Women live through insecurity, depression, and being overlooked and misunderstood. Whether women share identical experiences or not, the goal of being loved, included, and supported is common among many. Sharing gender in a world that treats so many women the same means that women's experiences align even when their social context does not. Whether rich or poor, black or white, African or Asian, ladies share a connection that transcends demographics. By appreciating this value, women will finally behold the beauty of sharing sisterhood beyond racial, generational, and geographical bounds.With Letters to My Sisters: Pain, Poise, Pride, and God's Promise, a group of 10 African-American women have written letters from their hearts that expose intimate life details that all women will be able to relate to in some way. As readers engage this material, the hope is that the sharing of these experiences provides a gateway for other women to do the same. No longer should women keep their herstory private. As women increasingly share with one another, they create a pattern that rewrites a tragic history of silence. To reveal censored areas of their own womanhood, black female authors of diverse backgrounds confronted their deepest pains to release burdens they have held for far too long. With these letters, women commit to saying what they mean to say and healing in formally forbidden areas of life. The intent is that this grand release encourages all of our sisters to share and release as well. Because this book sheds light on incidents that women have been silent about for a lifetime, the words of these pages create a foundation for ladies to embrace womanhood in new ways. These letters have been written from the heart. As such, they are meant to prick a woman's heart in ways that draw ladies to one another as they draw closer to themselves. The mind-body-soul alignment offered within Letters to My Sisters discloses the hidden tragedies and triumphs of womanhood. Though the authors may never share the depths of their souls with the sisters who impacted them directly, releasing these heartfelt stories allows women all over the world to embrace their own impacts and begin living more fully.As you read, you are encouraged to also write. Don't miss this opportunity to share your own letters. If you're up to it, send those letters to the sisters who deserve to hear your heart. God bless you.

A landmark retrospective that examines William Merritt Chase and his lasting contribution to the history of modern art The history of modern art owes a great debt to William Merritt Chase (1849–1916), one of America’s influential artists and educators. Chase was a leading member of the international artistic avant-garde and was best known for his mastery of a wide range of subjects in oil and pastel, including figures, landscapes, urban park scenes, interiors, and portraits. As a teacher and founder of the Shinnecock Summer School of Art and the New York School of Art, Chase mentored a new generation of modernists, including Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Joseph Stella. A century after his death, the breadth and richness of Chase’s career are celebrated in this beautifully illustrated publication. Five essays by prominent scholars of American art offer new insights into Chase’s multi-faceted artistic practice and his position in the international cultural climate at the turn of the 20th century.Published in association with The Phillips CollectionExhibition Schedule:The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.

Park S. Nobel pioneered the coupling of cellular physical chemistry with plant physiology, providing a sound physicochemical interpretation of the laws of diffusion to a rapidly expanding field of plant physiological ecology. His classical textbook is the only one of its kind to provide an extensive array of quantitative problems and solutions in the field of plant biophysics and ecophysiology, extending from the molecular to the ecological level. In this festschrift, former graduate students and postdocs, as well as colleagues of Prof. Nobel present a series of reviews that include scales from sub-cellular to global, and topics that range from desert succulent biology to the physiology of alpine plants, encompassing basic research and applications in agronomy and conservation biology. This state-of-the-field survey provides current and useful information for professionals and graduate students, while illustrating the broad span of the influence that Nobel's career has had on modern ecophysiology.
