Norton weaves realistic professional procedure and unexpected emotional jolts into the otherwise erotic flavor of Key West, creating a debut that will seriously contend for all the "Best First" awards.-author Jeremiah Healy P. K. Norton introduces a new heroine to mystery fans Everybody loves Chef Garcia's key lime coconut petit fours. Some even say they're to die for. When four guests die at a wedding at the Beaux R ves Hotel, the famous petit fours are blamed. Insurance investigator Amy Lynch flies from Boston to Key West to prepare for a wrongful death suit, her first trip to the island since her fianc died there three years ago. Amy's investigation is beset with problems from the get-go. The hotel management is pushing for a quick settlement regardless of fault. The local police are calling the event a tragic accident. Most potential witnesses are missing, deceased or unhelpful. The ghost of Amy's fianc haunts her as she fends off pressures from all sides and copes with uncertainties concerning her new relationship. She encounters death at every turn. The health inspector who monitored the hotel kitchen dies in an auto accident; the reporter who covered the incident for the local paper turns up drowned; even a homeless woman Amy befriends is found dead. And deceased wildlife crosses her path more than once. As she forges on in the face of these obstacles, Amy wonders if Key West is the tropical paradise of the travel brochures or a petri dish of death.

BOOK DETAILS & EXCERPTS at Book2Look biblet: https: //www.book2look.com/book/qN2QFR92AG.The book is endorsed by Professor Charol Shakeshaft, leading expert on the issue of educator abuse of students. It was declared a FINALIST (in True Crime category) by the National Indie Excellence Awards (2020).PASSING the TRASH is the true story of an American community torn apart by a sex abuse scandal involving their school Superintendent, underage girls, and teachers he supervised. A brave School Board member smelled a rat, hired a private investigator, and uncovered the Superintendent's early crime. The 30-year chronicle is brought to life through the voices of the victims, community members, and the lying seducer.A note on the book title: "Passing the trash" (a well-known phrase in the education world) refers to the corrupt practice of a school administration overlooking an educator's violation of ethical standards (often sexual in nature), failing to notify law enforcement for a proper investigation, and quietly passing the person on to an unsuspecting school system. That scenario is all too common across the U.S., but little to nothing is being done to eradicate the abuse.PASSING the TRASH chronicles a teacher's sexual abuse of his student - and the school administrators' failure to report his crime early on and banish him from education.This is also a tale of sexual exploitation of subordinates in the school workplace by the same man who became a powerful and charismatic school Superintendent. The scandal of his relationship with teachers he supervised eventually circled back to his original crime from thirty years earlier - and landed him in jail.In both cases, the school environments were sexualized, authority figures lost respect, and children were harmed.There are multiple victims in this story: First, the individuals (whether child or adult) who were seduced and sexually used by a narcissistic con artist. Then, the entire community beyond those involved in the sexual misconduct: the victims' families, the seducer's family, the school districts where he was employed, and the communities who fell for his deception.This is a case study in how a predator operates. It is a documentary history of grooming, seduction, abuse, deception, and corruption. Yet a handful of principled people acted to expose a powerful predator and bring him to justice after years of deception.The story is told in the voices of those involved, drawn from police reports, court proceedings, school system emails, School Board meetings and proclamations, and Facebook posts. The concluding chapter includes resources on the issue of educator abuse of students, plus further reading on the social-historical context of the scandal.The Kindle eBook edition has live links throughout to sources, more photos, and images of documents.Email the author, Amy Contrada: [email protected]

The Library Student Advisory Board

The Library Student Advisory Board

Amy L. Deuink; Marianne Seiler

McFarland Co Inc
2009
pokkari
This is a practical guide written by two professionals with real-world experience establishing a library student advisory board. Penn State University's Schuylkill campus library has such a board, operating beautifully. Different from traditional student advisory boards, the club at Penn State Schuylkill resembles a public library's "friends" group. The activities of the club benefit not only the library and campus but the club members themselves. Just how much time, effort, and know-how is required to form a library student advisory board? Here is the answer. Useful advice is offered on how to get a club started, how to recruit new members and keep them active, the duties of the club advisor, basic "do's and don'ts" of fundraising, and how to build a successful relationship between the club, the library director, and the library staff.

Playing with Languages

Playing with Languages

Amy L. Paugh

Berghahn Books

sidottu
Over several generations villagers of Dominica have been shifting from Patwa, an Afro-French creole, to English, the official language. Despite government efforts at Patwa revitalization and cultural heritage tourism, rural caregivers and teachers prohibit children from speaking Patwa in their presence. Drawing on detailed ethnographic fieldwork and analysis of video-recorded social interaction in naturalistic home, school, village and urban settings, the study explores this paradox and examines the role of children and their social worlds. It offers much-needed insights into the study of language socialization, language shift and Caribbean children’s agency and social lives, contributing to the burgeoning interdisciplinary study of children’s cultures. Further, it demonstrates the critical role played by children in the transmission and transformation of linguistic practices, which ultimately may determine the fate of a language.

Leading Contemporary Organizations

Leading Contemporary Organizations

Amy L. Fraher

Cambridge University Press
2020
sidottu
Why do organizations fail? What hinders otherwise responsible leaders from recognizing looming disasters? What prevents well-intentioned people from responding properly to an emerging crisis? Using systems psychodynamics to analyze an array of international crises, Amy L. Fraher explores ethical challenges at Silicon Valley tech companies, the Wall Street implosions that led to the 2008 financial industry crash, and a wide range of social crises, policy failures, and natural disasters, offering a crisis management philosophy applicable in diverse settings. Rather than viewing crises as anomalies that cannot be anticipated, Fraher persuasively argues that crises can, and should, be embraced as naturally occurring by-products of any organization's change management processes. If leaders do not proactively manage organizational change, they will inevitably manage crisis instead. This accessible textbook will appeal to business students and researchers studying leadership, change and crisis, as well as progressive-minded business leaders keen to improve their own organizations.

Literature and the Renaissance Garden from Elizabeth I to Charles II

Literature and the Renaissance Garden from Elizabeth I to Charles II

Amy L. Tigner

Routledge
2016
nidottu
Spanning the period from Elizabeth I's reign to Charles II's restoration, this study argues the garden is a primary site evincing a progressive narrative of change, a narrative that looks to the Edenic as obtainable ideal in court politics, economic prosperity, and national identity in early modern England. In the first part of the study, Amy L. Tigner traces the conceptual forms that the paradise imaginary takes in works by Gascoigne, Spenser, and Shakespeare, all of whom depict the garden as a space in which to imagine the national body of England and the gendered body of the monarch. In the concluding chapters, she discusses the function of gardens in the literary works by Jonson, an anonymous masque playwright, and Milton, the herbals of John Gerard and John Parkinson, and the tract writing of Ralph Austen, Lawrence Beal, and Walter Blithe. In these texts, the paradise imaginary is less about the body politic of the monarch and more about colonial pursuits and pressing environmental issues. As Tigner identifies, during this period literary representations of gardens become potent discursive models that both inspire constructions of their aesthetic principles and reflect innovations in horticulture and garden technology. Further, the development of the botanical garden ushers in a new world of science and exploration. With the importation of a new world of plants, the garden emerges as a locus of scientific study: hybridization, medical investigation, and the proliferation of new ornamentals and aliments. In this way, the garden functions as a means to understand and possess the rapidly expanding globe.

When I was seventeen years old I was in a serious car accident. I was not wearing a seatbelt when the car struck at a speed of 75 miles per hour. At seventeen I was not a devout Christian, yet I had the wisdom to pray the words, "Jesus save me." What happened next was a miracle. For years I have wanted to tell the story of my near death experience but was not sure how to make the story around the experience interesting. "Lizzie' Light" is a fiction story wrapped in God's truth. Lizzie has recently moved from her predominantly Catholic neighborhood in Gardner Mass to a rural part of Central Florida. She is somewhat cultured shocked to have moved from an urban family neighborhood in New England to a rural trailer park populated with retirees. Lizzie is also dealing with the awkward feelings of adolescence and intimidated by boys. Lizzie has some exciting encounters while living the Florida lifestyle. The story begins with Lizzie getting in trouble with the park manager for helping to put a baby alligator in the community pool and ends with her and her best friend Lori accidently getting involved in real danger with truly evil men. Lizzie is confused about her own faith and will need to search her soul in order to heal. In the end, she will endure a miracle. The miracle she endures is the true experience I had at seventeen years old. Each chapter is forwarded with the true account of this miraculous encounter. May you realize how much God loves you through experiencing "Lizzie's Light".
