This cozy series has everything you want and more: an eclectic cast of characters, a mystery or two, and diligent detectives on duty. The detectives, feline and canine, figure it all out, but they have a dickens of a time getting the humans to understand them.The series, Tiger Lily's Caf , is set in a Midwestern town nestled into the sunset coast of a Great Lake. The setting itself acts as a character, bringing the reader into the sights, sounds and smells of the small resort community of Chelsea.Read the series in order, or read any book alone. Each volume stands alone with a clear beginning and a clear end.This volume continues the story of Annie, a woman whose ownership of a prime piece of real estate and several businesses was almost a mistake. But own it, she does, and she makes the best of an idyllic situation.With her family of rescue cats and a diverse collection of business managers, staff and friends, Annie embraces her home on The Avenue, a picturesque slice of life that embodies the best - and sometimes the worst - that humanity has to offer.Everyone in Chelsea is between the proverbial rock and a hard place. The town plays host to the First Annual Chelsea Rock And Gem Show. Some of the exhibitors turn out to be scoundrels, cheats and scam artists. It's hard to tell the good guys from the bad.Annie is beset by a group of people who want to take over her operations and seem to stoop to a new definition of low to succeed. Of course, this group includes her not-so-very-good-friend Geraldine.Ray's first cruise for the season is scheduled and The Escape may not be able to leave the harbor. He manages to get it out, but in an unusually rugged state. Will it return intact?A mysterious man comes to town in the midst of a rash of high-end burglaries. Pete, beset by the burglaries, then an arson with injury, then a murder, has only a day or two to solve the cases before everyone is scheduled to leave town.A tragedy occurs at one of Annie's businesses, and while dealing with this, Annie finds out she's not who she thinks she is.And through it all, the moon waxes gibbous and comes full. Is it the moon, or is The Avenue falling apart for real?
The Three U.S.-Mexico Border Wars

The Three U.S.-Mexico Border Wars

Tony Payan; Kathleen Staudt

Praeger Publishers Inc

This book addresses the three central issues that continue to dominate the U.S.-Mexico relationship today: drugs, immigration, and security. Nowhere is this more palpable than at the 2,000-mile border shared by the two countries.The U.S.-Mexico border remains a hot topic in the news—and a contentious one. This second edition of a popular work brings readers up to date on what is really going on at the U.S.-Mexico border and why. The book offers a detailed, history-based examination of the evolution of current conditions on the border, arguing that they exist due to a steady growth in the security concerns of the United States over almost two centuries. The author shows how the border has gone through four historical stages that, ultimately, have crippled the region, sacrificing its ability to produce prosperity in exchange for greater security. Combining depth and breadth, the book covers the economic relationship between Mexico and the United States, the deployment of technology, the bureaucratic interests that control the border landscape, the democratic deficit, and a detrimental lack of policy coordination. Issues such as drug trafficking and homeland security are considered as well. Demonstrating the internal and contradictory logic of American policy toward the border, the author argues that current conditions could lead to a return of authoritarianism in Mexico and a concurrent rise in anti-American sentiment.

Acedia & me: A Marriage, Monks, and a Writer's Life

Acedia & me: A Marriage, Monks, and a Writer's Life

Kathleen Norris

Penguin Publishing Group
2010
nidottu
The extraordinary New York Times bestselling masterpiece from "one of the most eloquent yet earthbound spiritual writers of our time" (San Francisco Chronicle). Kathleen Norris had written several much loved books, yet she couldn't drag herself out of bed in the morning, couldn't summon the energy for her daily tasks. Even as she struggled, Norris recognized her familiar battle with acedia, a word she had discovered in early Church text years earlier. Fascinated by this "noonday demon", so familiar to those in the early and medieval Church, Norris knew she must restore this forgotten but important concept to the modern world's vernacular. An examination of acedia in the light of psychology, spirituality, the healing powers of religious practice, and Norris's own experience, Acedia & Me is both intimate and historically sweeping, brimming with exasperation and reverence, sometimes funny, often provocative, and always insightful.

For the People, Against the Tide: A Democratic Woman's Ten Years in the Massachusetts Legislature
For the People, Against the Tide is part topical memoir, part handbook for concerned citizens thinking about getting involved in the political process, but intimidated by practically everything in our modern American political process. This first-hand account of the reality of holding elected office demystifies the legislative process and the realities of modern political life. Kathleen Teahan, a Massachusetts State Legislator from 1997-2007, pulls back the curtain on the challenges of serving in government. With stories and specific examples from her ten years as a state representative, Teahan offers the inspiration and the steps concerned citizens can take to speak up, use the power of their vote, volunteer in campaigns, and run for office.Read below, what two former Massachusetts governors, Michael Dukakis and Deval Patrick, say about For the People, Against the Tide. "What do state legislators do? In fact, if they are public servants like Kathy Teahan, they do a lot-seven days a week. Yes, they legislate, but they never stop working in their districts in countless ways. This book and Kathy Teahan tell you how and why-as critical links between citizens and their governments at every level. And she does it in a way that helps us understand just how important they are in bringing state and local governments directly to the people they serve."Michael S. Dukakis, Governor of Massachusetts (1975-1979; 1983-1991), 1988 Democratic Party Presidential Nominee"As a persistent legislator, and a careful listener, Kathy Teahan brought her faith in our civic values and in people to our state, influencing jaundiced veteran politicians and wide-eyed newcomers alike, and gave voice to the voiceless. Her memoir reminds us of the power of her optimism." Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts (2007-2017)
Raffaele Riario, Jacopo Galli, and Michelangelo's Bacchus, 1471-1572
On Michelangelo's first day in Rome, in June 1496, Cardinal Raffaele Riario asked him if he could create 'something beautiful' in competition with the antique. The twenty-one-year old sculptor responded to this unique challenge with the statue of Bacchus now in the Bargello museum. This statue, as well as the Sleeping Cupid which first brought Michelangelo to Riario's attention, have long been shrouded in mystery, and the Bacchus as well as its patron have long suffered from critical censure. Through a comprehensive analysis of overlooked and previously-unpublished sources, this study sheds new light on the Sleeping Cupid, the Bacchus, and a fascinating period in the history of Renaissance Rome when the careers of Riario, Galli, and Michelangelo were closely intertwined. It considers the rise of the Riario dynasty starting with the election of Pope Sixtus IV in 1471, Riario's partnership with Jacopo Galli in the reconstruction of the palace now known as the Palazzo della Cancelleria, the attempted sale of Michelangelo's Sleeping Cupid in Rome as an antiquity, Riario's patronage of the Bacchus, and the Bacchus's display in the house of the Galli up until its sale to the Medici in 1572. Taking a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, it offers a fundamental reassessment of Cardinal Riario's career as a patron, of Jacopo Galli's role as an intermediary for both Riario and Michelangelo, and of Michelangelo's collaboration with Riario and Galli.
The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry: Love, Laughter, and Tears in Paris at the World's Most Famous Cooking School
"...engaging, intelligent, and surprisingly suspenseful." --Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, LoveThe unforgettable New York Times best-selling journey of self-discovery and finding one's true calling in life Kathleen Flinn was a thirty-six-year-old middle manager trapped on the corporate ladder - until her boss eliminated her job. Instead of sulking, she took the opportunity to check out of the rat race for good - cashing in her savings, moving to Paris, and landing a spot at the venerable Le Cordon Blue cooking school. The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry is the funny and inspiring account of her struggle in a stew of hot-tempered, chefs, competitive classmates, her own "wretchedly inadequate" French - and how she mastered the basics of French cuisine. Filled with rich, sensual details of her time in the kitchen - the ingredients, cooking techniques, wine, and more than two dozen recipes - and the vibrant sights and sounds of the markets, shops, and avenues of Paris, it is also a journey of self-discovery, transformation, and, ultimately, love.

"WHITE GLOVES AND RATTLESNAKES: An Old Broad's Life Travels" is a first person travel memoir. It is an anecdotal account of the sometimes unexpected, often amusing, and generally interesting situations I encountered while exploring the world. Travel always has been a major part of my life. I took my first interstate train trip at age ten days, and actually began traveling totally alone at age six. Thus the first several chapters are distant recollections in order to "set the scene." As an adult, many of my subsequent, more fact-filled excursion descriptions were of trips taken solo, and that may be one reason why I met such a variety of supportive people while delving into the history and culture of each location. I have visited all 50 United States, all seven continents, and traveled down the three longest rivers in the world: the Amazon, Nile, and Yangtze. Each and every trip was enriching in some way, and there was never a dull moment - Kathleen B.Dempsey
Blood Money: The Story of Life, Death, and Profit Inside America's Blood Industry
A "haunting" (Anne Helen Petersen, author of Can't Even) and deeply personal investigation of an underground for-profit medical industry and the American underclass it drains for blood and profit. Journalist Kathleen McLaughlin knew she'd found a treatment that worked on her rare autoimmune disorder. She had no idea it had been drawn from the veins of America's most vulnerable. So begins McLaughlin's ten-year investigation researching and reporting on the $20-billion-a year business she found at the other end of her medication, revealing a "vampiric real-life story of modern-day greed" (Leah Sottile, host of Bundyville). Assigned to work in China, where the plasma supply had been rocked by numerous scandals, McLaughlin hid American plasma in her luggage during trips between the two countries. And when she was warned by a Chinese researcher of troubling echoes between America's domestic plasma supply chain and the one she'd seen spin out into chaos in China, she knew she had to dig deeper. Blood Money shares McLaughlin's decade-long mission to learn the full story of where her medicine comes from. She travels the United States in search of the truth about human blood plasma and learns that twenty million Americans each year sell their plasma for profit--a human-derived commodity extracted inside our borders to be processed and packaged for retail across the globe. She investigates the thin evidence pharmaceutical companies have used to push plasma as a wonder drug for everything from COVID-19 to wrinkled skin. And she unearths an American economic crisis hidden in plain sight: single mothers, college students, laid-off Rust Belt auto workers, and a booming blood market at America's southern border, where collection agencies target Mexican citizens willing to cross over and sell their plasma for substandard pay. This "captivating and anguished expos " (Publishers Weekly) weaves together McLaughlin's personal battle to overcome illness while also facing her own complicity in this wheel of exploitation with an electrifying portrait of big business run amok.
