Book excerpt: The Amboy Affair Rick is thirty-six and was fired from his job as a commodities broker. If losing his job wasn't bad enough, his girl friend of two years terminates their relationship a week later. Rick is so depressed and heartbroken that he decides to leave St. Louis and head for Santa Monica, California to look for employment. He had always dreamed of following Route 66 across country and figured this was his opportunity. He stops in the small, remote, desert town of Amboy on Route 66 in California for gas and a bite to eat. He finds it to be peaceful and quiet there, so he decides to rent a motel cabin for three nights to relax and try to rid himself of feeling depressed. He meets a pretty girl at the restaurant that had stopped by to eat, and she invites him to accompany her on her monthly business trip from San Diego to Las Vegas. On the way they discover that she unknowingly has been transporting large sums of drug money to be laundered. Their greed for money results in their double-crossing the drug dealers by taking the money and going into hiding, which results in his once dull life becoming entwined in love, betrayal, intrigue and the constant fear of being tracked down and murdered. Sudden Change Once upon a time a baby girl was born to very wealthy parents and raised primarily by a nanny who catered to her every need. The parents also employed a full time maid, chef, chauffeur and servants, so she never had to do anything for herself. When turning sixteen, she demanded her parents buy her an expensive sports car, because she didn't want to be seen driving anything less, and she received one. She attended the very best private schools, and during her summer vacations she traveled the world. At the age of twenty-one, she had become an arrogant, selfish, self-centered individual. Her personality was such that no one cared to associate with her, and even her parents couldn't tolerate her un-forgiving behavior. They realized now they were the ones responsible for creating this unsociable monster by the way they had raised her. They felt it was their duty to try and correct the situation, or otherwise she would live a very lonely life and one without love. They deemed it necessary to take drastic corrective action to change her personality, and what the parents had planned for their daughter was beyond anyone's imagination.

Book excerpt: From #1 Amazon, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Gemma Halliday comes an average day in an average high school that suddenly turns deadly... When Hartley Grace Featherstone heard the rumor that her boyfriend, Josh, was playing "hide the pom-poms" with the president of the Herbert Hoover High Chastity Club, she was crushed. When she found proof of his cheating, she was downright angry. But when she found the dead body of Miss Chastity herself, Courtney Cline, shoved into her boyfriend's closet, Hartley was something else altogether... scared for her life. Now Hartley's boyfriend Josh—scratch that, ex-boyfriend—is the #1 suspect in a murder, the police are watching Hartley's every move, and the only thing spreading faster than the gossip about Hartley is the fear that someone else at school may be next. Along with her faithful best friend and an unlikely ally in the bad-boy editor of the school paper, it's up to Hartley to find out who really offed her school's queen of mean.

Download or read book Choice Over Time written by George Loewenstein and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1992-10-27 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of our most urgent national problems suggest a widespread lack of concern for the future. Alarming economic conditions, such as low national savings rates, declining corporate investment in long-term capital projects, and ballooning private and public debt are matched by such social ills as diminished educational achievement, environmental degradation, and high rates of infant mortality, crime, and teenage pregnancy. At the heart of all these troubles lies an important behavioral phenomenon: in the role of consumer, manager, voter, student, or parent, many Americans choose inferior but immediate rewards over greater long-term benefits. Choice Over Time offers a rich sampling of original research on intertemporal choice—how and why people decide between immediate and delayed consequences—from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives in philosophy, political science, psychology, and economics. George Loewenstein, Jon Elster, and their distinguished colleagues review existing theories and forge new approaches to understanding significant questions: Why do people seem to "discount" future benefits? Do individuals use the same decision-making strategy in all aspects of their lives? What part is played by situational factors such as the certainty of delayed consequences? How are decisions affected by personal factors such as willpower and taste? In addressing these issues, the contributors to Choice Over Time address many social, economic, psychological, and personal time problems. Their work demonstrates the predictive power of short-term preferences in behavior as varied as addiction and phobia, the effect of prices on consumption, and the dramatic rise in debt and decline in savings. Choice Over Time provides an essential source for the most recent research and theory on intertemporal choice, offering new models for time preference patterns—and their aberrations—and presenting a diversity of potential solutions to the problem of "temporal myopia."

Download or read book Who Does That Bitch Think She Is written by Craig Seligman and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid new history of drag told through the life of the pioneering queen Doris Fish In the 1970s, queer people were openly despised, and drag queens scared the public. Yet this was the era when Doris Fish (born Philip Mills in 1952) painted and padded his way to stardom. He was a leader of the generation that prepared the world not just for drag queens on TV but for a society that is more tolerant and accepting of LGBTQ+ people. How did we get from there to here? In Who Does That Bitch Think She Is? Craig Seligman looks at Doris’ life to provide some answers. After moving to San Francisco in the mid-’70s, Doris became the driving force behind years of sidesplitting drag shows that were loved as much as you can love throwaway trash—which is what everybody thought they were. No one, Doris included, perceived them as political theater, when in fact they were accomplishing satire’s deepest dream: not just to rail against society, but to change it. From the rise of drag shows to the obsession with camp to the conservative backlash and the onset of AIDS, Seligman adds needed color and insight to this era in LGBTQ+ history, revealing the origins and evolution of drag.
