Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brad Orville has always wanted hair - lots of it, preferably thick and wavy - but he started going bald in the seventh grade. What makes it worse is the fact that his smart and charming brother Compton has a full head of gorgeous locks, still going strong as they enter middle age. But then Compton suffers a traumatic brain injury and Brad must take care of him 24/7. Yet Compton - even in his addled state - seems to somehow thrive, marrying the woman of his dreams, Peaches, while Brad turns to booze, Internet dating, and a toupee for solace. Happiness however might be a lot closer than Brad ever imagined, and it doesn't even involve fake hair.

Download or read book They re Calling You Home written by Doug Crandell and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doug Crandell is a maestro in multiple genres: the author of critically-acclaimed true crime books, devilishly charming memoirs, and tragicomic works of fiction about small-town life that are leavened in equal measure with poignancy and humor. Enter They're Calling You Home, Crandell's latest novel. This is the story of Gabriel Burke, a writer who is alienated from everyone he loves for exposing a discomforting family secret in a bestselling memoir. Divorced from his wife, estranged from his daughter, and loathed by his alcoholic brother, Burke must confront all of them when he returns to his hometown in Smallwood, Indiana to chronicle the story of a gruesome mass murder there. Thus begins this intricately woven tale of redemption and forgiveness, of men paying the wages of masculinity, of sons coming to grips with the sins of their fathers, and of one writer grappling with the burdens of journalistic integrity. Throughout this deftly crafted work, secrets present a hall of mirrors through which Burke must constantly navigate: the secret of his father's sex crimes, the furtive steps his family takes to deny them, and the surreptitious efforts of State and local officials as they try and cover up the murder case he's investigating. Part road trip, part who-dunnit, part voyage of self discovery, Crandell's moving novel is ultimately the story of a journey in which the only possible destination is its starting point—home.
Download or read book Adolescents A to Z written by Tiffany Field and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the book Adolescents A to Z, Tiffany Field has reviewed recent research on adolescence issues from A to Z. Parents often feel the need to consult a reference book regarding problems their adolescents are experiencing. Although encyclopedia-like books have been written on adolescents’ medical problems, those do not include behavior problems. Books that cover behavior problems are not organized in alphabetical order but rather, the problems are imbedded in different age sections or in general discussions, forcing the parent to read all the material to find the specific problem. Most discussions of adolescents’ problems, even by well-known authors, are largely based on anecdotal material and clinical experience rather than research data. The volume Adolescents A to Z solves both of these problems. It is not only organized alphabetically for the reader’s easy access, but its entries are based on current research data. Some anecdotal material is used for interest value, but the content is drawn from literature searches.

Download or read book Handbook of Anxiety written by Martin Roth and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of the Handbook of Anxiety reflects the renewed interest in the basis of anxiety and the search for a biochemistry of anxiety. While there have been biochemical/pharmacological studies since the early 1960s two events have contributed significantly to present investigations. The first was the discovery of specific benzodiazepine binding sites in the brain of vertebrate species, and the second the reclassification of anxiety states under DSM-III criteria and more recently DSM-III-R. Research in the area of the biology of anxiety has developed rapidly in the past decade; this volume summarizes some of these advances and hopefully points to new directions for further research.
Download or read book Paradise Dogs written by Man Martin and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Newman once had it all. But then he lost it. Now Adam yearns to reunite with his estranged wife, Evelyn, and recapture the Edenic life they once had running Paradise Dogs, the roadside hot-dog restaurant now legendary throughout central Florida. He has a few obstacles along the way. For starters, there's his impending marriage to Lily. There's also the matter of a quarter million dollars' worth of diamonds that he mislaid, along with what appears to be a shadowy conspiracy that is buying up land around the Cross-Florida Canal (and which may or may not be a product of Adam's alcohol-infused imagination). Despite his own troubles---and a brief stay in Chattahoochee---Adam looks to mentor his son, Addison, in the ways of love. Awkward, unsure, and employed as the world's least accurate obituary writer, Addison pines for a beautiful and painfully earnest linguistic student but must compete for her attention with his older and more sophisticated half brother from Evelyn's first marriage. But if anybody can set these worlds in order, it is Adam, who has an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time and allowing others to believe he's someone he's not. Whether it's delivering a baby, rescuing a marriage, or exposing a Communist conspiracy, our protagonist is up for the job. Paradise Dogs, from Georgia Author of the Year Award winner Man Martin, is a farcical tale of paradise lost, the American Dream, and the true measures of love
