And while the warrior's duty to combat the infidel was strict, and though his beloved was the wife of pharaoh, the two would be separated only by death. And then only for a time. THE LOVERS Elizabeth Summers came to the dig at Akhetaten in 1892. Great things were being discovered! English archaeologists had made huge advances and Egypt's fantastic history was being laid bare. But Elizabeth was not destined to simply study history - she was to be a part of it. Swept away by desert raiders, the pale beauty found herself in the arms of a great sheikh. And while Elizabeth didn't know whether she was the reincarnation of an ancient queen, she realized that in this man's arms she had found her destiny.

Smitty Wesson was more akin to the lonely falcon than his war-scarred father until he found a home in the army. When he became "battle-rattled" himself in Iraq, he needed others to "watch his back," including Abby, the girl of his dreams. The Falcon and the Mourning Dove is a wartime romantic novel with timeless dimensions--gritty, packed with stark realities of war, and edgy human relationships. A sniper and medic form a symbiotic rapport during the Iraq war. The story follows Smitty and Abby through their difficulties going into the army, through training, and deployment to Iraq. An intense year of combat with their National Guard brigade spins their developing relationship into peril under stresses of deep physical and psychological wounds. This story of love in war refreshes Tolstoy's question of whether lives are pre-determined or shaped by responses to events. Smitty Wesson is a classic bad boy and underachiever raised by his father, an affected Vietnam veteran, after his mother died. He is more invested in guns, motorcycles, and brawling than conforming to societal norms. The army offers redemption and a chance to find his roots. In basic training Smitty discovers he needs friends to "watch his back." But all his human relationships remain tenuous. Abby Arden enlists as an army medic in her quest to become a physician. She also needs help and find it with a streetwise black girl, the rebel from her hometown, and eventually his recovering father. Smitty and Abby are sternly tested as they evolve, haunted by stark impressions of combat in wartime Iraq. When their dreams are dashed against hard reality, their lives take radical turns. This emotional roller-coaster of American veterans is at once heartwarming and heartbreaking. After years of uniformed service, the author served for two years in Iraq as a civilian advisor.

Juliet Dove is a girl who doesn't like to be noticed. But though she may be shy, she has a wickedly sharp wit. Whenever someone does take notice of her, she tears into the person with a savagery that’s earned her the nickname “Killer.” Juliet ends up leaving Mr. Elives’s magic shop with Helen of Troy's amulet—that is, a virtual man magnet. Juliet doesn’t know what she’s got, but the boys in her class do—they start to notice her . . . Soon every boy in town is swooning for her. Yet, much as she’d like to lose all the unwanted attention, she can’t: The amulet won't come off! “Although humorous, the story has surprising depth, with musings on honor, power, strength, courage, and, above all, love.” —School Library Journal “A rare book . . . . Funny [and] absorbing.” —Miami Herald

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Unlike most other sociology or social science dictionaries, in this translation of the Critical Dictionary of Sociology, taken from the second French edition of the Dictionary and edited by the English sociologist Peter Hamilton, the critical value of this distinctive work is at last made available for a wider audience. Each entry grapples directly with an issue, whether theoretical, epistemological, philosophical, political or empirical, and provides a strong statement of what the authors think about it. The discussions are considered but argumentative. By reaffirming that a non-marxist style of critique is still possible, Boudon and Bourricaud have presented a distinctive approach to the key issues which confront the societies of the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries. For some this work will be a textbook, for others an indispensable sourcebook of sociological concepts, and for most a way of opening our eyes to new dimensions in our understanding of the great ideas and theories of sociology.
