Book excerpt: He Refuses To Let Anyone In Former Navy SEAL Grant Hill believes love brings nothing but pain. Having suffered more loss than any one person should, the gruff R.I.S.C. operative has mastered the art of avoidance…especially when it comes to women. But with his newest bodyguard assignment, Grant’s unwavering determination is put to the ultimate test. It soon becomes clear that he's no match for the spunky, beautiful redhead who’s filled his dreams since the night they first met. She's Determined To Break Through His Walls Being the daughter of a United States Senator is no walk in the park. Especially for Brynnon Cantrell. The independent businesswoman would rather spend her days knocking down walls and staging homes than rubbing elbows with political supporters or smiling for the press. She’s determined to live life on her terms—and away from her father’s shadow. But when someone starts sending Senator Cantrell threats, Brynnon is forced into the protective shadow of another man. The same gorgeous, emotionally closed-off private security expert she’s spent months trying to forget. Trusting The Wrong Person Could Have Deadly Consequences The more time Grant and Brynnon spend together, the closer the two become. Soon, they’re giving in to their undeniable attraction. But when the person threatening the Senator sets his sights on Brynnon, Grant not only struggles to open his heart again…he must also fight to keep the woman he’s falling in love with alive.

Book excerpt: There are some similarities between the 2023 state of the US economy and the 2008 financial crisis related to inflation and supply chain disruptions, however, the underlying causes of the two situations are different. The concise but scoped analysis of major economies related to the present circumstances in the US banking crisis comes at a time when the US dollar is facing competition from China and others. The US government and the Federal Reserve have taken steps to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and curbing interest rates to battle inflation. Such measures, however, have placed several US banks in a tough position. On 15th March 2023, The Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was closed down by US regulators. This was followed by its former parent company SVB Financial Group filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (the filing did not include its remaining subsidiaries). A second, New York-based Signature Bank was forced to shut its doors. It was later bought by New York Community Bancorp (Flagstar Bank). A third, Silvergate bank had previously announced on March 8 they would liquidate due to their failures in their cryptocurrency portfolios.

With "The Moment of Complexity", Mark C. Taylor offers a map for the unfamiliar terrain opening in our midst, unfolding an original philosophy of our time through a remarkable synthesis of science and culture.

Download or read book Pliny the Younger written by Rex Winsbury and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-11-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pliny the Younger who lived c. 100 AD, left a large collection of letters, thanks to which we know him better than almost any other Roman. He is best known as witness to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 that destroyed Pompeii, and for his dealings with the early Christians when a regional governor. He was not an emperor or general, but a famous lawyer of his time specialising in private finance and later a senior state official specialising in public finance. His life straddled both a 'bad'; emperor (Domitian) and a 'good'; emperor (Trajan), so his life and letters are relevant to perennial political questions like how an honourable man could serve an absolute autocracy such as Rome, and how justice could live alongside power. His letters also give a unique insight into social, literary and domestic life among the wealthy upper classes of the empire. He knew most of the famous writers of his time, and wrote love letters to his wife. But there are serious controversies about how honest and truthful a man he was - did he use his letters to rewrite history (his own history) and cover up questionable aspects of his career? This general biographical account of Pliny is the first of its kind and covers all aspects of his life in a systematic way. This accessible title tackles key issues including his political anxieties and issues, his relationship with women and his literary style in a roughly chronological order. It covers his life as a lawyer, both in private practice and in state prosecutions, his literary circle, his career in state office and his working relationships with two very different emperors, his background, his property and his family life.

Download or read book The Wild Wisdom of Weeds written by Katrina Blair and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wild Wisdom of Weeds is the only book on foraging and edible weeds to focus on the thirteen weeds found all over the world, each of which represents a complete food source and extensive medical pharmacy and first-aid kit. More than just a field guide to wild edibles, it is a global plan for human survival. When Katrina Blair was eleven she had a life-changing experience where wild plants spoke to her, beckoning her to become a champion of their cause. Since then she has spent months on end taking walkabouts in the wild, eating nothing but what she forages, and has become a wild-foods advocate, community activist, gardener, and chef, teaching and presenting internationally about foraging and the healthful lifestyle it promotes. Katrina Blair’s philosophy in The Wild Wisdom of Weeds is sobering, realistic, and ultimately optimistic. If we can open our eyes to see the wisdom found in these weeds right under our noses, instead of trying to eradicate an “invasive,” we will achieve true food security. The Wild Wisdom of Weeds is about healing ourselves both in body and in spirit, in an age where technology, commodity agriculture, and processed foods dictate the terms of our intelligence. But if we can become familiar with these thirteen edible survival weeds found all over the world, we will never go hungry, and we will become closer to our own wild human instincts—all the while enjoying the freshest, wildest, and most nutritious food there is. For free! The thirteen plants found growing in every region across the world are: dandelion, mallow, purslane, plantain, thistle, amaranth, dock, mustard, grass, chickweed, clover, lambsquarter, and knotweed. These special plants contribute to the regeneration of the earth while supporting the survival of our human species; they grow everywhere where human civilization exists, from the hottest deserts to the Arctic Circle, following the path of human disturbance. Indeed, the more humans disturb the earth and put our food supply at risk, the more these thirteen plants proliferate. It’s a survival plan for the ages. Including over one hundred unique recipes, Katrina Blair’s book teaches us how to prepare these wild plants from root to seed in soups, salads, slaws, crackers, pestos, seed breads, and seed butters; cereals, green powders, sauerkrauts, smoothies, and milks; first-aid concoctions such as tinctures, teas, salves, and soothers; self-care/beauty products including shampoo, mouthwash, toothpaste (and brush), face masks; and a lot more. Whether readers are based at home or traveling, this book aims to empower individuals to maintain a state of optimal health with minimal cost and effort.
Download or read book Disrupting Leadership in Entrepreneurial Universities written by Jill Blackmore and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the future of the contemporary university and for those who lead them? Considering leadership in the broadest sense, including academic leadership (teaching and research) as well as leadership practices of those in formal management positions, Jill Blackmore outlines how multiple pressures on universities have produced leadership practices in management and research which are more corporate than collegial, and which discourage many academics from aspiring to leadership. She uses a range of theoretical tools, informed by critical and feminist organisational studies, to unpack higher education and how it is being transformed in ways that undermine its core work of teaching and research. Drawing from three Australian university case studies, this book uses leadership as a lens through which to investigate the effects of restructuring of the higher education sector which have impacted differently on academic identities and careers.
