Mia is finally getting what she’s always wanted—the chance to be off on her own at college. Her own apartment, sexy college guys, and, most importantly, no more pride rules to follow. At least not until after graduation, when she’ll return home and marry the mate her father, the alpha, chooses for her. Until then, Mia is determined to enjoy her freedom to the fullest. And when Tristan comes along, she knows she’s met the perfect fling. It’s Tristan’s last year at Mountain Ridge University. He’s ready for some smooth sailing, including no girl drama. As a jaguar shifter, he’s not interested in a relationship, and certainly not a mate. Mia is the answer to what he’s looking for—playful, sassy, and seeking a bit of no-strings-attached fun. But is there more to their relationship than either of them is willing to admit?

This book demonstrates how Japan's so-called harmonious collective culture is paradoxically connected with a history of conflict. Ikegami contends that contemporary Japanese culture is based upon two remarkably complementary ingredients, honorable competition and honorable collaboration. The historical roots of this situation can be found in the process of state formation, along very different lines from that seen in Europe at around the same time. The solution that emerged out of the turbulent beginnings of the Tokugawa state was a transformation of the samurai into a hereditary class of vassal-bureaucrats, a solution that would have many unexpected ramifications for subsequent centuries.

George Perkins Marsh Prize, American Society for Environmental History VSNY Book Award, New York Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America Hornblower Award for a First Book, New York Society Library James Broussard Best First Book Prize, Society for Historians of the Early American Republic With pigs roaming the streets and cows foraging in the Battery, antebellum Manhattan would have been unrecognizable to inhabitants of today’s sprawling metropolis. Fruits and vegetables came from small market gardens in the city, and manure piled high on streets and docks was gold to nearby farmers. But as Catherine McNeur reveals in this environmental history of Gotham, a battle to control the boundaries between city and country was already being waged, and the winners would take dramatic steps to outlaw New York’s wild side. “[A] fine book which make[s] a real contribution to urban biography.” —Joseph Rykwert, Times Literary Supplement “Tells an odd story in lively prose...The city McNeur depicts in Taming Manhattan is the pestiferous obverse of the belle epoque city of Henry James and Edith Wharton that sits comfortably in many imaginations...[Taming Manhattan] is a smart book that engages in the old fashioned business of trying to harvest lessons for the present from the past.” —Alexander Nazaryan, New York Times

Shakespeare’s Folktale Sources argues that seven plays—The Taming of the Shrew, Titus Andronicus, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Merchant of Venice, All’s Well that Ends Well, Measure for Measure, and Cymbeline—derive one or more of their plots directly from folktales. In most cases, scholars have accepted one literary version of the folktale as a source. Recognizing that the same story has circulated orally and occurs in other medieval and early modern written versions allows for new readings of the plays. By acknowledging that a play’s source story circulated in multiple forms, we can see how the playwright was engaging his audience on common ground, retelling a story that may have been familiar to many of them, even the illiterate. We can also view the folktale play as a Shakespearean genre, defined by source as the chronicle histories are, that spans and traces the course of Shakespeare’s career. The fact that Shakespeare reworked folktales so frequently also changes the way we see the history of the literary folk- or fairy-tale, which is usually thought to bypass England and move from Italian novella collections to eighteenth-century French salons. Each chapter concludes with a bibliography listing versions of each folktale source as a resource for further research and teaching. Published by University of Delaware Press.

King and Mia aren't strangers. Everyone knows everyone in the small Maine town they live in, however, their age difference kept them from traveling in the same circle when they were growing up. Brief glimpses and encounters, a long-distance look, and their attraction was palpable but never acted on because of their marital statuses. Twenty years have gone by, and this is the first time they are both single at the same time. That freedom allows them to pursue and act on their insane attraction, and nothing holds them back. It's instant. It's hot. And it changes everything. Excerpt “Are you out of your f**king mind?” he yelled over the ruckus. Mia looked at his lips as if she was watching them form the words, and King noticed a small smile grace her features. Did she recognize him? Probably not—it had been ten years since they’d last seen each other, and then it had just been in passing. But even so, he could not help but be drawn to her full, pouty lips and the dimples that accompanied them when she smiled. How had he forgotten those cute dimples? He snapped his gaze back up to hers, still too enraged to acknowledge his unexpected reaction to her. “My dog ran off!” she shouted back at him, tugging against his grasp. “I was trying to chain her up, and then she just got away from me.” King scowled as he pointed out the danger of her current situation. “Do I look like I give a shit? My crew is cutting down trees in this area! You want to kill yourself?” She surveyed their surroundings before answering, “No, I’m nowhere near where they’re working.” She pulled once more against his grip. “Precious is getting away from me.” King couldn’t believe he was having a conversation with this woman about a dog named Precious, while trees were being cut down around them in plain sight. He could hear enormous branches snapping off trees and slamming to the ground with a resounding thud. At any moment, a tree could fall on them and crush them into the earth. In frustration, he grabbed hold of her flannel shirt in case she got it in her head to take off again. “Let’s go.” He was done trying to reason with her, irritated that they were wasting time. “No.” She dug in her feet and refused to budge.
