If you like awkward situations, first kisses, and laugh-out loud moments, you’ll love these sweet romances. Off Limits: The Best Friend: She’s the high school klutz. He’s the best friend. But it wasn’t enough. Alexa Parker’s only goal is to get into the best pre-med program in the country. No big deal. Except that nothing in her life ever goes as planned. If an ice cream machine is going to explode, it will be her pulling the handle. If a cactus is going to be sat on, it will be her butt that will be full of needles. The only thing going right is the fact that her lifelong—and only—friend, Charlie, has stuck by her side through it all. Until Alex realizes she likes him more than a friend, and she manages to mess that up too. Off Limits: The Smarty Pants: She’s a free spirit. He’s bound by the rules.

Markus Brown is too smart for his own good. At least, that’s how everyone else sees him. In reality, he’s living the life his father paved for him. When Markus ends up on the same school trip as Gracie, his secret crush, he finally feels like he has permission to be himself, and to go after the girl of his dreams. But he’s been entrenched in his father’s thinking far too long, and there are some old habits that won’t die without a fight. Gracie and Markus have one week to open their hearts, learn to trust each other, and realize that life is better when they don't try to do it alone.

She’s a loner who can’t get a date. He’s a rockstar who needs fewer dates. A summer job might solve both their problems. For Julianna Barrow, working at a resort for the summer is the easiest decision she’s ever made. Anything to escape her small town and avoid the bleak future that awaits her back home. Unfortunately, when she arrives it turns out the job is less resort and more wannabe ranch. Then Scott Dallenforth, the rockstar/actor/anything-that-will-make-him-money, shows up, dressed in a flannel shirt and a cowboy hat, as if he expects to rope steer for the next three months. And he expects Julianna to help. Scott Dallenforth’s rise to fame as a musician three years earlier gives him the life most teenagers only dream of. And yet his parents think he should “work” for the summer, because he’s “lost touch with reality.” They aren’t the only ones who feel this way. Julianna, an opinionated co-worker isn’t afraid of sharing her opinion about him or his lifestyle. He’ll just have to prove everyone wrong so he can get back to the life he loves.

"..I didn't want to be coldly cast away in a lifeboat with memories, a map and a dream. The map was awfully good, but I really didn't want a map. I just wanted my Dad." "..I figured that he probably planned to head west to hide out on Grandpa's farm. It was the perfect hideout, coveted for a long time by some of the island's leading ICE men." Elaine Alijah "Pirates: My Dad's Mystery" is certainly not a biography. Rather, it is a meandering voyage through my divorcee Dad's childhood, through a series of open-ended, inter-twined dramatic short stories (or "tracks") to adulthood. The treacherous ride continues up and down the corporate ladder and eventually through judicial hell, where like I've said before, Dad made a few very serious mistakes . It's the "vibeztrack" of Dad's life, available in both Standard and Teaching Editions. Perhaps even more intriguing than the stories in the book, is the dramatic epic behind it. Fortunately, for those who need to know, a wealth of behind-the-scenes info and both Elaine Alijah and C.C. Foxx, are very accessible at www.piratesthebook.com.

This is the story of Dr. Geneva Smitherman, aka "Dr. G," the pioneering linguist often referred to as the "Queen of Black Language." In a series of narrative essays, Dr. G writes eloquently and powerfully about the role of language in social transformation and the academic, intellectual, linguistic, and societal debates that shaped her groundbreaking work as a Black Studies O.G. and a Womanist scholar-activist of African American Language. These eleven essays narrate the development of Dr. G’s race, gender, class, and linguistic consciousness as a member of the Black Power Generation of the 1960s and 70s. In My Soul Look Back In Wonder, Dr. G links the personal to the professional and the political, situating the struggles, and successes, of a Black woman in the Academy within the historical experiences and development of her people. As Dr. G enters her eighth decade, in this Black Lives Matter historical moment, she seeks to share the meaning and purpose of a life of study and struggle and its significance for all those who seek racial and social justice today.

For many of us, thinking about the future conjures up images of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road: a post-apocalyptic dystopia stripped of nature. Richard Louv, author of the landmark bestseller Last Child in the Woods, urges us to change our vision of the future, suggesting that if we reconceive environmentalism and sustainability, they will evolve into a larger movement that will touch every part of society. This New Nature Movement taps into the restorative powers of the natural world to boost mental acuity and creativity; promote health and wellness; build smarter and more sustainable businesses, communities, and economies; and ultimately strengthen human bonds. Supported by groundbreaking research, anecdotal evidence, and compelling personal stories, Louv offers renewed optimism while challenging us to rethink the way we live.
