Gracie Baxter is defective . . . at least that is how she sees herself.Since she was a child, Gracie has struggled with dyslexia, as words and letters switch places and swirl around in her brain. Feeling misunderstood and alone, she pinches her skin in secret to cope with her anxiety. Things only get worse when Gracie is mainstreamed into general education classes at the start of her junior year and she can no longer hide in the special education classroom. Now Gracie has to find a way to fit in while keeping her dyslexia and self-harm a secret.Everything changes when Landon Cater, a ghost from Gracie's past, returns to school after a two-year absence. Their friendship was abruptly cut off when Landon disappeared without a trace. But Landon is hiding his own secrets. His father has just been released from prison, and now Landon has more things to worry about than winning football games as the school quarterback and winning Gracie's heart. As Gracie and Landon rekindle their relationship, their secrets will be revealed. Can they face the truth, or will the secrets of the past be too much to overcome?
The daughter of a Russian Baron, Mourka (Margarita Meyendorff) was born in a Russian displaced persons camp in Germany - far from the opulence of Imperial Russia which was her birthright. Her father danced with Anastasia, attended balls and military schools but a series of wars destroyed this privileged existence - and her parents were themselves displaced- forced to flee the ancestral estates and run through Nazi Germany.After the war, under Allied occupation, Mourka was born in a German Displaced Persons camp and from then on, life became a series of extraordinary moves: As a tiny immigrant girl, Margarita's first American home was the estate of an eccentric millionaire impresario which served as a temporary enclave of Russian aristocrats - given quarters in elephant stalls. Her childhood ran like a roller coaster of highs - performing as a rooster to applause for the Russian Orthodox audience and lows - coping with her traumatized and disturbed parents. IAt 18, Mourka escaped to the road- most often taking to the stage where she found her natural footing, but then always on the run - moving, displaced around the US and then Europe - hitting ecstatic highs as a performer and lows in her personal life. In her search, she tours the country as a gypsy performer in a caravan, and goes from a rusted trailer back to her ancestral castle...seeking, always seeking her rightful place and some sense of peace.Can she ever "unpack" and feel she is truly at that place which always been so elusive: HOME. She carries with her a suitcase filled with documents and treasured memorabilia, her Russian legacy. Margarita Meyendorff's journey is thrillingly personal yet universal-the journey we all take, to find our true selves and safe haven.

Does your child have a friend, family member or classmate who has Down syndrome?Would you like your child or the children in your classroom to understand more about Down syndrome? Are you looking for an engaging way to start a dialogue about Down syndrome? This book uses a simple ABC format to teach about Down syndrome. With delightful illustrations, this book teaches, from a child's perspective, the typical traits that many people with Down syndrome share. Encourage discussions of how you or people you love might be like the child in this book. You might compare and contrast how the child in this book is similar or different from a person you know with Down syndrome. This book provides wonderful opportunities to discuss how to be a friend of a child with Down syndrome. The simple action plan at the conclusion of the book will help give guidance to a child who wants to be a friend of someone with Down syndrome. I believe knowledge helps break down barriers and encourages kindness and patience. Helping children understand Down syndrome and genetic differences at a young age is powerful. Reading this book will change the life of your child and the lives of people with genetic differences that your child meets now and in the future.
After five long years in deep space, transport ship owners, Artie and Lara Glenn, look forward to some much-needed vacation time. But when a devastating accident onboard their ship costs the company they work for, DATO, millions, their awaited vacation is forced to be postponed indefinitely. Taking on a full ship of cargo and passengers to repay their debt, Artie and Lara begin another 26-day journey back to Earth, only this time they may not make it home. When yet another disastrous accident cripples their ship beyond repair, the five-man crew is left hoping to survive the remainder of their journey using only their wit and cleverness to battle the odds now stacked against them. Even with a mysterious stowaway now stalking their paranoia down every hallway...
This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of d-wave superconductivity, focused on d-wave pairing symmetry and its physical consequences in the superconducting state. It discusses the basic concepts and methodologies related to high-temperature superconductivity and compares experimental phenomena with theoretical predictions. After a brief introduction to the basic theory of superconductivity and several models for high-temperature superconductivity, this book presents detailed derivations and explanations for various single-particle and collective properties of d-wave superconductors that can be monitored experimentally, including thermodynamics, angular-resolved photo-emission, single-particle and Josephson tunnelling, impurity scattering, magnetic and superfluid responses, transport and optical properties and mixed states. Various universal behaviours of d-wave superconductors are highlighted. Aimed primarily at graduate students and research scientists in condensed matter and materials physics, this text enables readers to understand systematically the physical properties of high-temperature superconductors.
D-branes represent a key theoretical tool in the understanding of strongly coupled superstring theory and M-theory. They have led to many striking discoveries, including the precise microphysics underlying the thermodynamic behaviour of certain black holes, and remarkable holographic dualities between large-N gauge theories and gravity. This book provides a self-contained introduction to the technology of D-branes, presenting their development in a pedagogical manner. The introductory material is developed by first starting with the main features of string theory needed to get rapidly to grips with D-branes. Many advanced applications are covered, with discussions of open problems which could form the basis for other avenues of research. Suitable as a textbook in graduate courses on modern string theory and theoretical particle physics, it will also be an indispensable reference for seasoned practitioners. First published in 2003, this title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
