Can generational curses be broken? As the heir to a family-owned wine dynasty, Stefano Pietrangelo has no time for love. Heck, he's not sure he even believes in love. He watched as his mother died due to complications in childbirth; watched his father check out of parenting, turning Stef and his baby brother over to their noxious grandmother, Nonna. Stef has learned to equate love with loss and pain. He doesn't need or have time for that in his life. Resigning himself to a bachelor's life, he declares himself married to the winery, and only takes time out for the odd one night stand to get his needs met. He offers nothing of himself except his body and he's happy to keep it that way. A one night stand with a fiery-haired angel changes his world forever. Time and time again, she invades his dreams until suddenly fate intervenes to bring them together again. Natalie Rourke has always tried to do the right thing. The family good girl, she scored straight A's in school, and did everything she was supposed to do in college (study, study, and study some more). She never partied or caroused with her friends; her singular focus was obtaining her nursing degree and then specializing as a nurse practitioner. On graduating with her NP designation, she allows herself one night of partying with friends and falls into bed with a gorgeous hunk who goes by the name Dante. They part ways without even an exchange of last names, and she vows to never do that again. Natalie may be a good girl, but she has a will of steel and a mouth to back it up - her assertiveness at work is often perceived as a bad attitude. She misses out on opportunity after opportunity until she lands on a cushy job as Giuseppe Pietrangelo's night nurse. When she learns that Stefano is none other than Dante, her first and only one night stand, her legendary temper will let fly. Soon, she will come to realize that Stefano has been dreaming of her too. The Pietrangelo family story continues in Book Three of the Laws of Attraction series, Dreaming.

Behind the hallowed walls of higher education are students who did not grow up expecting to attend college, students who walked through open doors not knowing what to expect on the other side. For some, these open doors became revolving doors, and they simply gave up. For many others, however, there were unexpected successes, successes that included more than academic accomplishments. These people came through the system with an increased sense of self-confidence that empowered them in the world beyond college. This oral history tells the story of the struggles as well as of the triumphs related to the fight for access and high quality in higher education. Thus, it provides a unique look at the past state of higher education, and at the measures that might be taken to improve our future educational system. The book begins with a brief historical overview of what access to higher education looked like before the 20th century. Following chapters tell the actual stories and are organized around four themes: the power of belief in students; access with success; institutional commitment; and effective support systems. Finally, a set of recommendations is provided that will help to keep the doors open for those still wishing to enter. Educators at all levels, graduate students studying higher education, and interested readers in the general public will all find this book an invaluable resource.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Dershowitz recounts his extraordinary coming of age in this legal autobiography, as well as the cases that have changed American jurisprudence over the past fifty years, most of which he has personally been involved in. “Overflowing with fascinating and funny vignettes involving his cases and clients, and probing and provocative insights into contemporary legal controversies.”—The Boston Globe Alan Dershowitz, the preeminent defense lawyer in America today, has been called the “winningest appellate criminal defense lawyer in history.” A professor at Harvard Law School since the age of twenty-five, he has led or been part of the defense team for such storied clients as Bill Clinton, Julian Assange, O. J. Simpson, Claus von Bülow, Mia Farrow, Jeffrey MacDonald, Patty Hearst, Mike Tyson, and countless others. In Taking the Stand, Dershowitz describes his evolution as a lawyer—from a C-minus student in Yeshiva High School to the youngest full professor in the history of Harvard Law School. In his #1 New York Times bestselling book Chutzpah, Alan described his Jewish life. In Taking the Stand, he looks at the people and events that have helped to shape his ideas about the law. He describes his formative years as a clerk for the United States Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. In the course of his career, he confronts the challenges of First Amendment law, the ongoing tension between individual freedom and national security, the questionable science often employed to prosecute accused murderers, the evolution of civil rights—and why the abortion rights debate in society hasn’t moved forward since Roe v. Wade. Filled with unforgettable cases and inside legal “baseball,” Taking the Stand is a deeply personal account of one of the legendary legal minds of our time.

In 1932, the worst year of the Great Depression, more than twenty thousand mostly homeless World War I veterans trekked to the nation’s capital to petition Congress to grant them early payment of a promised bonus. The Hoover Administration and the local government urged Washington, DC, police chief Pelham Glassford to forcefully drive this “bonus army” out of the city. Instead, he defied both governments for months and found food and shelter for the veterans until Congress voted on their request. Glassford’s efforts to persuade federal and local officials to deal sympathetically with the protesters were ultimately in vain, but his proposed solutions, though disregarded by his supervisors, demonstrate that compassion and empathy could be more effective ways of dealing with radical protests than violent suppression.

Winner, Speech Communication Association Award for Distinguished Scholarship This is a book that, almost singlehandedly, freed scholars from the narrow constraints of a single critical paradigm and created a new era in the study of public discourse. Its original publication in 1965 created a spirited controversy. Here Edwin Black examines the assumptions and principles underlying neo-Aristotelian theory and suggests an alternative approach to criticism, centering around the concept of the "rhetorical transaction." This new edition, containing Black's new introduction, will enable students and scholars to secure a copy of one of the most influential books ever written in the field.
