When Beth Dolinsky's military husband returns from deployment with post-traumatic stress and gambles all their money away, this mousy, church-going housewife and mother of twin boys has to take matters into her own hands. Against the advice of friends and family, 40-year-old Beth applies to become a deputy sheriff and embarks on the toughest journey of her life. Now, Recruit Dolinsky finds herself out of place in her new world, even though she no longer fits into her old one. As Beth fights for her family and her right to hold this position of strength, she must convince not only the inmates in the jail, but also the "squared-away" sergeants and deputies half her age (with double the attitude) that she really can fire a gun, perform strip searches that would make even the toughest inmate squirm, restrain men twice her size, and control 70 criminals with the strategic use of the f-word. And in the process, Beth manages to convince herself that she can handle anything that comes her way. DISHRAGS TO DIRTBAGS is a story of inner strength, motherhood, reinvention, and acceptance. "A surprisingly intimate view of the relationship and mutual respect between this deputy and her inmates. It's a must-read " Rosalie Pope, Author of PUPPIES FOR SALE $25, winner of the Next Generation Indie Book Award

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

The first piece of known typewriter art was a "drawing" of a butterfly by Flora F. F. Stacey in 1898; since then, artists, designers, poets, and writers have used this rigorous medium to produce an astounding range of creative work. This beautiful book brings together some of the best examples by typewriter artists around the world. As well as key historical work from the Bauhaus, H. N. Werkman, and the concrete poets, there is art by contemporary practitioners, both typewriter artists who use the keyboard as a "palette" to create artworks, and artists/typographers using the form as a compositional device. The book will appeal to graphic designers, typographers, artists, and illustrators, and anyone fascinated by predigital technology.

Treachery, heartache, and loneliness led Ella Kühn to take her first alcoholic drink ten years ago. Survival in the shadow of the Berlin Wall takes on a new face as her resulting addiction turns toxic. While memories of her past haunt her future, the butterfly tattoo covering the gunshot wound to her right shoulder becomes a physical and emotional reminder of Stefan's absence, which now spans twelve years. In 1983, trust remains a fragile ally as the Communist Bloc begins to crumble. Ella's involvement in the rising opposition and underground punk movement puts her more at risk than any escape plan. She is followed, watched, and hunted but by whom? An old enemy? The Secret Police? Or her new employer? In Release, the third and final installment of the Berlin Butterfly Series, Ella battles her inner demons as she struggles to survive the ever-growing darkness in the Deutsche Democratic Republic. Will she regain her former strength and find a way to flee to the thinning borders of Czechoslovakia and join Anton and Josef? Or will ties to her precarious past keep her bound--her only release found in freedom from pain and guilt while embracing life in East Berlin without her family? Fans of German war fiction and historical romance will love this extraordinary twentieth-century political drama.

This book is an in-depth analysis of three of the most crucial years in twentieth-century Italian history, the years 1943-46. After more than two decades of a Fascist regime and a disastrous war experience during which Italy changed sides, these years saw the laying of the political and cultural foundations for what has since become known as Italy's First Republic. Drawing on texts from the literature, film, journalism, and political debate of the period, Antifascisms offers a thorough survey of the personalities and positions that informed the decisions taken in this crucial phase of modern Italian history.

Can a cut-throat reiver escape his nefarious past with the help of the only woman he's ever loved and a promise he never dreamed he'd make? Falca Breks will find out on a journey through a wilderness more dangerous than the squalid city of his birth, toward confrontations with not only enemies past and present but also himself-and the lure of two things that could make him the richest and most powerful man in the Six Kingdoms. "Pass on the Cup of Dreams" quickly immerses the reader in the imaginatively detailed fantasy world of the Six Kingdoms. Fergusson's writing is excellent, the plot relentless, the characters wonderfully complex. If you enjoy gritty, dark fantasy you will find a feast here. -Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling fantasy author Bruce Fergusson's two previous Six Kingdoms novels were a breath of fresh air in the often predictable genre of secondary-world fantasy. He hasn't lost his touch with his latest, "Pass on the Cup of Dreams." It's inventive, quirky and unpredictable-all the things I love in a book. -Charles deLint, World Fantasy Award-winning author

Ethnic Matching: Academic Success of Students of Color is an in-depth exploration on the impact of ethnic matching in education, the paring of students of color with teachers of the same race. Research shows that this method has a positive and long-term impact on the academic experience of students of color. This book explores what makes this phenomenon relevant in today’s classrooms. Through interviewing quality teachers of color, this book sheds a light on the impact these teachers make on the academic experience of students of color. This approach is meant to provide all teachers valuable insight into techniques for engaging with diverse learners. Also, from these conversations, the book shows how the intentionality of culturally responsive practice can enhance the academic experience of students of color. Topics such as the challenges of recruiting and retaining quality teachers of color, as well as the valuable work being done on the local, state, and national level to promote diversifying the field of education as a way to provide equitable education for all students is also explored in this book.
