"A thoroughly engaging and heartfelt read...that includes laugh-out-loud scenes." -- Dianne Woodman, Bestsellers World It starts with a hangover. Could it end with an international incident? The Joy (yes, that's what she calls herself) is the crazy glue holding together this group of reprobates. Meet six tight friends who are the picture of social, financial and ethnic diversity. They're also struggling together through the crazy new normal of life during lockdown in New York City. Just as they're hitting their stride, The Joy is called to care for her icy mother in steamy Florida, where HOA rules are strict and the neighbors are loose. Meanwhile, The Joy's roommate Kimi is left alone to balance fear of commitment with an even greater fear of coming out to her Chinese parents. They have no idea their number one daughter is engaged to a Cuban-American princess. The rest of the friends are stumbling their way through a stream of episodes involving poor judgment, a public fall from grace, a boss from hell, an in-home ninja training gym, a startling romance, and (nothing new here) too many cocktails. They're young adults learning about life, the universe, themselves and their responsibilities-but is it an education wasted? And might her mother's vindictive nature impact world affairs? (Golf is involved.) Click the BUY NOW button at the top and make six crazy new friends today. "Lighthearted... "Thought-provoking... "Hilarious... "It was beautiful to read..." -- Jennifer Ibiam, Readers' Favorite A thoroughly engaging and heartfelt read...wonderfully portrayed divergent characters...a satirist approach to a serious subject matter that includes laugh-out-loud scenes. -- Dianne Woodman, Bestsellers World "Shockingly and hilariously 'uncareful-ish'... The real beauty of this juicy read is that...the realities of the pandemic become someone else's problem...'" -- Libby Wiersema, IndieReader

Daughter of the Forest is a testimony to an incredible author's talent, a first novel and the beginning of a trilogy like no other: a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love. Lord Colum of Sevenwaters is blessed with six sons: Liam, a natural leader; Diarmid, with his passion for adventure; twins Cormack and Conor, each with a different calling; rebellious Finbar, grown old before his time by his gift of the Sight; and the young, compassionate Padriac. But it is Sorcha, the seventh child and only daughter, who alone is destined to defend her family and protect her land from the Britons and the clan known as Northwoods. For her father has been bewitched, and her brothers bound by a spell that only Sorcha can lift. To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only safe place she has ever known, and embarks on a journey filled with pain, loss, and terror. When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land, it seems that there will be no way for her to break the spell that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries, and Sorcha will have to choose between the life she has always known and a love that comes only once. Juliet Marillier is a rare talent, a writer who can imbue her characters and her story with such warmth, such heart, that no reader can come away from her work untouched.

From the Foreword: "Is it possible at present to identify a core cluster of theoretical ideas, concepts, and methods with which everyone working in the area of learning and cognition needs to be familiar? Would it be possible to make explicit the relationships that we feel do or must exist among the various subspecialties, ranging from conditioning through perceptual learning and memory to psycholinguistics, and to present these in a sufficiently organized way to help specialists and non-specialists alike in relating particular lines of research to the broader spectrum of activity? These questions were posed to a substantial number of investigators who are currently most active in developing the ideas and doing the research. Their response constitutes this Handbook..." First published in 1975, Volume 1 of this Handbook attempts to present an overview of the field and to introduce the principal theoretical and methodological issues that will persistently recur in the expanded treatments of specific research areas that comprise the later volumes. Deferring to the current Zeitgeist rather than to chronology, they begin with the present state of cognitive psychology, then introduce the comparative approach, and conclude this volume with a rapid, three-chapter review of the evolution of ideas from conditioning to information processing.
