Colorado Trust Series Trust makes all the difference when love and danger collide. Ad-exec Jordan Blake believed image was everything-until his parents were convicted of murder, the family company went bankrupt, and his excessive drinking and arrest fueled the tabloids. When lawyer David Barnes offers representation in exchange for assistance in reopening his Colorado mountain resort, Jordan has no choice. It's help or jail. Hollywood wild child Lexie Sinclair disappeared by changing her name, joining the army, and marrying a soldier. Then her husband wrapped their car around a tree, killing himself, and leaving her permanently injured. For the past few years, she's been content to live in peaceful obscurity as caretaker of David's defunct resort. Jordan's arrival exposes Lexie's true identity and brings her dead husband's 'friends' calling. Jordan offers to help, but the shadow of his drinking leaves Lexie reluctant to trust. Can they conquer their fears and find the courage to face the criminals-and the world-together? "Thoroughly entertaining...I lost track of the time because I was so engrossed in the story." Diana Coyle, Night Owl Reviews EXCERPT: "I'm here to see David Barnes," he said, his voice as stiff as his posture. No one ever came here for David. He set up client appointments at the Boulder office. Lexie tried to relax, but her shoulders remained tense, and her pulse refused to settle down. "Why?" "He hired me to do some work." "He hired you? You mean you're not a client?" "I don't need a lawyer," he ground out, sounding offended. She almost scoffed as she crossed her arms in front of her. "What work?" His expression told her his business with David was none of her business. "And you are?" "What work?" she demanded, dread beginning to creep in behind her bravado. They stared at each other until he backed down first, surprising her. "I'm here to inspect the cabins, see if any need major repairs before winter." He quit there, but Lexie knew there was more he wasn't telling her. She couldn't believe David was going ahead with the reopening after only one conversation about it Hurt followed on the heels of her indignation. She knew it was his decision, his resort, but didn't he know she wasn't ready for this yet? New people every week, the chance of being recognized. Even now, without her glasses on, nervousness clawed her insides. And then the- Jordan Blake leaned a hip against the railing of the stairs and crossed his arms over his chest, mimicking her posture. "You decide yet?" "Decide what?" she asked with a frown. "What excuse you're going to give instead of simply admitting David isn't here." Lexie straightened, annoyance shooting heat straight to her cheeks. Her right leg throbbed as she distributed her weight evenly on both feet for maximum height and caught his gaze. "He isn't here. And if he truly did hire you, that means I'm your boss until he gets back." What do you got to say to that, hot shot?

Albrecht Dürer

Albrecht Dürer

The artist and entrepreneur Albrecht Durer lived in Germany in the early 1500s, when two storms were threatening the Holy Roman Empire. First, Suleiman the Magnificent and his army of Ottoman Turks were expanding from Constantinople to Vienna, the doorstep of Europe. Second, Martin Luther, a German monk and professor, wrote his Ninety-Five Theses identifying corruption within the Roman Catholic Church. This challenged the authority of both Emperor Charles V and Pope Leo X, who responded by accusing Luther of heresy. Albrecht Durer influenced art and media throughout Europe as strongly as Martin Luther influenced people's views of life, death, and their relationship with God. Durer's art and writing reveal how this creative and thoughtful man responded to the changes offered by Luther. Why was Durer so attracted to Luther's writings? Why would he risk being accused of being a heretic? Both of these men inspired changes in art, religion, and politics that still underlie the foundation of today's social structures and Western culture. ""Stacey Bieler's beautifully (and intelligently) illustrated study of Albrecht Durer shows convincingly why she is such an important guide to the reformation era. Her text and well-chosen Durer prints and paintings explain with particular clarity why Luther became such an important figure in the artist's life. It is a book to broaden historical understanding but also to delight the eye."" --Mark Noll, McAnaney Professor of History Emeritus at the University Notre Dame Stacey Bieler, an independent historian, also wrote ""Patriots"" or ""Traitors""? A History of American-Educated Chinese Students (2004) and coedited (with Carol Hamrin) the three-volume set about Chinese Christians called Salt and Light (Pickwick, 2009-2011).

Digital Media

Digital Media

Lexington Books

Digital Media: Human-Technology Connection examines what it is like to be alive in today’s technologically textured world and showcases specific digital media technologies that makes this kind of world possible. So much of human experience occurs through digital media that it is time to pause and consider the process and proliferation of digital consumption and humanity’s role in it through an interdisciplinary array of sources from philosophy, media studies, film studies, media ecology and philosophy of technology. When placed in the interpretive lens of artifact, instrument, and tool, digital media can be studied in a uniquely different way, as a kind of technology that pushes the boundaries on production, distribution and communication and alters the way humans and technology connect with each other and the world. The book is divided into two sections to provide overarching definitions and case study specifics. Section one, Raw Materials, examines pertinent concepts like digital media, philosophy of technology, phenomenology and postphenomenology by author Stacey O Irwin. In Section Two, Feeling the Weave, Irwin uses conversations with digital media users and other written materials along with the postphenomenological framework to explore nine empirical cases that focus on deep analysis of screens, sound, photo manipulation, data-mining, aggregate news and self-tracking. Postphenomenological concepts like multistability, variational theory, microperception, macroperception, embodiment, technological mediation, and culture figure prominently in the investigation. The aim of the book is to recognize that digital media technologies and the content it creates and proliferates are not neutral. They texture the world in multiple and varied ways that transform human abilities, augment experience and pattern the world in significant and comprehensive ways.

Unmaking Migrants

Unmaking Migrants

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

Unmaking Migrants engages critical questions about preventing trafficking by preventing migration through a study of a shelter for trafficking victims in Lagos, Nigeria. Over the past fifteen years, antitrafficking personnel have stopped thousands of women from traveling out of Nigeria and instead sent them to the federal counter-trafficking agency for investigation, protection, and rehabilitation. Government officials defend this form of intervention as preemptive, having intercepted the women before any abuses take place. Yet many of the women protest their detention, insist they were not being trafficked, and demand to be released. As Stacey Vanderhurst argues, migration can be a freely made choice. Unmaking Migrants shows the moments leading up to the migration choice, and it shows how well-intentioned efforts to help women considering these paths often don't address their real needs at all.
