Book excerpt: Morgan Sythe expected when he moved to Coral Cove he would finally get the peace quiet and relaxation that he could never find in Boston. His past of using his fists haunted him, and he wanted to leave that all behind for something new. Instead with one rub of a dusty cobalt blue bottle he ended up with a matchmaking genie. The genie stood larger than life and made it his mission to set Morgan up with his sexy neighbor down the beach. Morgan assured the magical being he needed no help when it came to the affairs of the heart. In fact he planned to make a move on the love woman in his own time. He saw a hint of sadness in her eyes which he wanted to erase. But Samson the genie had other plans on how fast he should move. Lily Marquette came to the small costal town to escape a past that always seemed to find her. She hoped on the sandy beach and in the warm sun she could make a new life away from the chaos that her life used to be. Her sexy neighbor seemed to run hot and cold. One minute he was kissing her senseless and the next he was forgetting he left her notes. Plus his best friend was the size of the jolly green giant and wore slogan T-shirts. She didn’t need any more complications in her life. But when Morgan held her and made her body ache with desire, Lily wanted to risk it. She just prayed that the secrets she was running from didn’t catch up and drive him away.
Download or read book Digital Dieting written by Tara Brabazon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine if a student spent as much time managing information as celebrities doted on dieting? While eating too much food may be the basis of a moral panic about obesity, excessive information is rarely discussed as a crisis of a similar scale. Obviously, plentiful and high quality food is not a problem if eating is balanced with exercise. But without the skills of media and information literacy, students and citizens wade through low quality online information that fills their day yet does not enable intellectual challenge, imagination and questioning. Digital Dieting: From Information Obesity to Intellectual Fitness probes the social, political and academic difficulties in managing large quantities of low quality information. But this book does not diagnose a crisis. Instead, Digital Dieting provides strategies to develop intellectual fitness that sorts the important from the irrelevant and the remarkable from the banal. In April 2010, and for the first time, Facebook received more independent visitors than Google. Increasingly there is a desire to share rather than search. But what is the impact of such a change on higher education? If students complain that the reading is ’too hard’, then one response is to make it easier. If students complain that assignments are too difficult, then one way to manage this challenge is to make the assignments simpler. Both are passive responses that damage the calibre of education and universities in the long term. Digital Dieting: From Information Obesity to Intellectual Fitness provides active, conscious, careful and applicable strategies to move students and citizens from searching to researching, sharing to thinking, and shopping to reading.

Download or read book Surrogacy and the Reproduction of Normative Family on TV written by Lulu Le Vay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the proliferation of surrogacy storylines on TV, exploring themes of infertility, motherhood, parenting and family. It investigates how, despite reproductive technologies’ ability to flex contours of family, the shows’ narratives work to uphold the white, heterosexual, genetically-reproduced family as the ideal. In dialogue with responses from a range of female viewers, both mothers and non-mothers, the book scrutinises the construction of family ideology on television with studies including Coronation Street (1960-present), Giuliana & Bill (2009-2014), Rules of Engagement (2007-2013), The New Normal (2012-2013), Top of the Lake: China Girl (2017) The Handmaid’s Tale (2017-present) and film Baby Mama (2008). These studies raise a number of questions; is homosexuality only acceptable when it echoes heterosexual norms? Are female characters only fulfilled when they are genetic mothers? Does heterosexual romance override technology in the cure for infertility? While the answers to these questions may suggest that television still conforms to heteronormative narratives, this book importantly demonstrates that audiences desire alternative happy endings that show infertile female characters more positively and recognise alternative kinship formations as meaningful.
