The 'Gang' is back. The death of garden club member Cecelia Davis, age 93, sends Paula, Eleanor, Alice and Jean 'undercover' to the high-end nursing home where Cecelia lived her last two years. They're not even certain if they're trying to solve a murder: at 93, you're no longer on the actuarial tables. But Cecelia's wake provides tantalizing tidbits of information and an initial roster of people to investigate, and Cecelia's granddaughter is convinced there was foul play.But at the same time, another of the Gang's ventures is about to come back to haunt them. Three months earlier, investigator Samantha Ayers sent the group into an auto dealership in search of insurance fraud. They found it, and exposed Pokvovsky Motors in a most spectacular fashion. Now, 'Smilin' Al' Pokrovsky, the patriarch of a chain of dealerships, wants revenge.Deadly Deeds brings back the cast of The Garden Club Gang with a twisting plot that is as suspenseful as it is a great mystery. They'll try to catch a nursing home murderer while keeping out of the clutches of an auto magnate who wants to silence them.

Working with former partner John Flynn, and young, computer-savvy Detective Jason Alvarez, Lee learns that Grainger-Elliot was not what he claimed to be. He was a con man, and funds for his high-profile signature project, 'The Gardens at Government Center' are either missing or were never raised. Who killed him? A Society employee or trustee? A flower show exhibitor? A business partner whose reputation he ruined? And, was Grainger-Elliot's wife a dupe or an accomplice? Horticulture and high tech will solve the crime.A Murder at the Flower Show is a twisting, fast-paced story that goes behind the scenes into the not-so-genteel world of flowers and money.

Small States in the International System

Small States in the International System

Neal G. Jesse; John R. Dreyer

Lexington Books
2016
sidottu
Small States in the International System addresses the little understood foreign policy choices of small states. It outlines a theoretical perspective of small states that starts from the assumption that small states are not just large states writ small. In essence, small states behave differently from larger and more powerful states. As such, this book compares three theories of foreign policy choice: realism (and its emphasis on structural factors), domestic factors, and social constructivism (emphasizing norms and identity) across seven focused case studies from around the world in the 20th Century. Through an examination of the foreign policy choices of Switzerland, Ireland, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ethiopia, Somalia, Vietnam, Bolivia and Paraguay, this book concludes that realist theories built on great power politics cannot adequately explain small state behavior in most instances. When small states are threatened by larger, belligerent states, the small state behaves along the predictions of social constructivist theory; when small states threaten each other, they behave along realist predictions.

The Foreign Policy of John Rawls and Amartya Sen

The Foreign Policy of John Rawls and Amartya Sen

Neal Leavitt

Lexington Books
2015
nidottu
The foreign policy writings of John Rawls and Amartya Sen provide insight and clarity into some of the most difficult problems confronting humanity. What is the most effective strategy of national defense? Does an effective strategy of national defense involve the possession of nuclear weapons? Why must the right to vote—and the right to health care and the right to an education and the right to employment—center the foreign policy of a democracy? These are questions Rawls and Sen raise and answer in their writings. This book describes the foreign policy of Rawls and Sen while building up towards a policy recommendation. Human rights protect civilians from heads of state and their armies—and the foreign policy of a democracy must promote human rights. But the nature of this recommendation is very specific. By redirecting some military spending to development goals, the core needs of more civilians can be better met while simultaneously advancing human security. http://www.bu.edu/today/2013/pov-nuclear-armament-is-a-lose-lose/ http://www.bu.edu/today/2014/pov-to-stop-bad-guys-ratify-the-united-nations-arms-trade-treaty/

Transformative Experiences in College

Transformative Experiences in College

Neal Christopherson

Lexington Books
2020
sidottu
Transformative Experiences in College: Connections and Community explores the intersection of two concepts: transformative experience in college and the communities in which students learn. Emerging from a five-year longitudinal interview study tracking a panel of 75 students through four years at a selective liberal arts college, this book provides a rich depiction of how aspects of the college community (and the relationships developed within that community) create opportunities for transformative experiences that lead to personal and academic growth. Neal Christopherson argues that transformative experiences in college are primarily the results of interactions with other people and with a broader campus community, documenting the ways in which relationships with faculty, experiences in courses, interaction with peers, and the general institutional environment can generate these experiences. Christopherson also touches on extracurricular and co-curricular activities, the importance of a healthy environment for interacting with difference, and how students transition out of the institution. Scholars of education, sociology, and communication will find this book particularly useful.

Mentoring Boys to Men: : Climbing Their Own Mountains

Neal C. Lemery J. D.

As a judge in rural Tillamook County, Oregon, Neal C. Lemery watched for years as frustrated, hopeless young men cycled through his courtroom. Many of them ended up in Tillamook's local juvenile prison. Lemery came to understand the reasons behind their failure: poverty, illiteracy, abuse, and absentee fathers. Despite disapproval in his community, Lemery began visiting the prison and speaking with these young men. Many were hesitant at first, but slowly their stories began to emerge. Lemery was there to provide personal and legal advice-and often simply to listen. Most of them had never known a positive male role model. Eventually Lemery's patience and tenderness paid off. As walls came down, new portraits emerged of boys who wanted to be decent, caring, contributing men, but didn't know how. Mentoring Boys to Men is the story of how the simple gifts of time and a compassionate ear made the difference in the lives of these juvenile offenders. With his story, Lemery hopes to inspire you to reach out to the rejected and vulnerable. After reading this book, your soul will rejoice at the idea of making a unique kind of personal, profound, and positive connection in your newfound young friends' lives.
