While going against her father's orders and fearing his wrath, Bree sets out to solve the murder as a way to avenge Rachel Carter's death and gain her father's respect. Armed with unique intelligence and her secret gift, she begins her own investigation, unaware of the threat drawing closer.

Download or read book The Colors of Grief written by Janis Di Ciacco and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2008-06-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a life shattering experience, a child enters upon a confusing emotional journey that can be likened to a prism of many colors of dark feelings like sadness and fear, but also warm feelings of love and courage. The way they deal with these feelings has a lasting impact on their life as they grow. The Colors of Grief explores strategies for supporting a grieving child to ensure a healthy growth into adulthood. Drawing on the latest research in neurology and psychology, Janis Di Ciacco illustrates the child's grieving process using a model of development that employs 'key stages'. These range from preverbal infancy (0-2 years) through to early adulthood (about 25 years). She shows how a child's progress through these stages can be impaired by an early encounter with loss, which can contribute to cognitive, emotional and social difficulties. Drawing connections between bereavement, attachment issues and social dysfunction, the author suggests easy-to-use activities for intervention at each key stage, including infant massage, aromatherapy and storytelling. This is a revealing and accessible book for both parents and professionals working with, or caring for, bereaved infants, children or young adults.

Book excerpt: The use of the phrase life is hard has become so diluted, so overstated through the years that when someone hears it the words go in one ear and out the other.

Book excerpt: As a Psychic Investigator, Jack Stein’s specialty is drawing clues from dreams and psychic impressions. It’s not a line of work that draws a lot of respect in The Locality, where the rich live high and dry, and the poor rot at the roots. His latest client is Outreach Industries, a mega-conglom that’s reached out and grabbed every resource on every chunk of rock in the galaxy—including the rim planet Dairil III, where a mining crew has mysteriously disappeared. Jack’s been hired to sniff them out. In his dreams. One problem: Jack’s visions are cluttered with strange mystical symbols and red herrings. It’s enough to make him wonder if Outreach really wants the miners to be found. When Jack gets his hands on a seemingly minor piece of evidence, suddenly half the Locality is after him. And nobody’s willing to tell him why. This could be part of something that’s too big for even Jack to wrap his mind around.

Download or read book Creating Agile Business Systems with Reusable Knowledge written by A. Mitra and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-18 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agility and innovation are necessary to achieve global excellence and customer value in twenty-first century business; yet most approaches to business process engineering sacrifice these in favor of operational efficiency and economics. Moreover, the IT systems used to automate and encapsulate business processes are unresponsive to the dynamic business environment. Mitra and Gupta provide insight to close this gap - showing how innovation can be systematized with normalized patterns of information, how business processes and information systems may be tightly aligned, and how these processes and systems can be designed to automatically adapt to change by reconfiguring shared patterns of knowledge. A modular approach to building business systems that parallels that of object oriented software is presented. Practical templates required for accelerating integration, analysis and design are provided. This book will appeal to consultants, analysts, and managers in IT as well as researchers and graduate students in business, management and IT.
