She’s a high-fashion realtor; he’s a low-maintenance mechanic. What on earth could they have in common?
Dressed in designer labels and cruising around town in her red Mercedes, workaholic realtor Harper Wilson presents the picture of success in charming Maple Falls. But Harper’s carefully cultivated image is resting on a shaky foundation. With a sudden drought in sales, she’s starting to see her professional dreams—along with her posh lifestyle—slipping away.
Car trouble brings her to mechanic Rusty Jenkins, and their unlikely friendship is taken to the next level when the laid-back Rusty allows her to give him a makeover for a charity bachelor auction. Harper soon discovers that beneath the town mechanic’s wild beard and grease-stained clothing lies a true Southern gentleman—someone with a kind heart and dreams of his own. Their chemistry is undeniable, but as they get closer, past fears and relationships start to creep in, reminding them of just how much is at stake when carefully constructed facades fall apart.
Maybe their worlds aren’t so separate after all. And maybe covering up who you really are keeps you from discovering what was always meant to be.

Offering a unique and critical perspective on energy justice, this
Handbook delves into an emerging field of inquiry encapsulating
multiple strands of scholarship on energy systems. Covering key
topics including generation, transmission, distribution and demand,
it explores fundamental questions surrounding policy, climate
change, security and social movements. The Handbook illuminates the
rapidly expanding and diversifying scholarly domains where energy
justice has developed to date. Chapters provide an overview on
energy justice issues across a range of socio-technical and
political contexts, including differences along lines of race,
gender, age, geography, housing, socio-economic status and
infrastructure. The Handbook further incorporates non-Western
perspectives to expand the transitional vocabulary and frameworks
of energy justice. Grounded in empirically rich case studies from
across the world to support nuanced framings, situated methods and
informed policy, this Handbook will be of interest to students of
development, human geography, environmental policy and politics. It
will also be useful to practitioners working in international
organisations and agencies working in development and the
environment.

The majestic beauty of Grand Teton National Park has moved people
throughout time. Native Americans believed in the spiritual power
of the towering mountain peaks and journeyed there to gain special
powers. Early fur traders, who had just crossed less ominous
mountain ranges, viewed with trepidation the massive obstacle that
loomed before them on their passage to the Pacific Northwest. In
others, the Tetons ignited vision and passion--a vision to preserve
for all generations to come and a passion to protect the
independent way of life known by the first settlers of this western
frontier. The formation of Grand Teton National Park spanned the
course of nearly 70 years. Although there were many people who
shared the struggle before them, it was not until Stephen Mather
and Horace M. Albright took up the fight in 1915 that steps towards
success were taken. Albright's tenacity and ability to convey his
vision to philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. set in motion a
very long journey that culminated with Pres. Harry S. Truman
signing today's Grand Teton National Park into existence on
September 13, 1950.
Double bill of futuristic horror films. In 'The Purge' (2013),
Ethan Hawke stars as the head of a family forced to fight for their
lives. With crime in America spiralling out of control and prison
populations soaring, the government of the day implements a drastic
new initiative to address the problem. For a 12-hour period once a
year, all crime, including murder, is legal, as the police and
other emergency services stand down for the night, allowing the
population to regulate itself. 'The Purge' is deemed a success due
to plummeting crime levels and record low unemployment figures. But
after placing their upmarket home under its yearly lockdown, James
and Mary Sandin (Hawke and Lena Headey) and their family find
themselves under siege from a crazed group of masked killers when
their teenage son (Max Burkholder) offers shelter to the mob's
terrified prey. In 'The Purge: Anarchy' (2014), following on from
events in the previous film, a year has passed and the time for
society to purge itself of all murderous and violent urges has come
back around. Desperate to get home to their children before 'The
Purge' commences, a young couple (Zach Gilford and Kiele Sanchez)
find themselves stranded when their car breaks down, leaving them
at the mercy of a mob of masked attackers. Meanwhile, a man (Frank
Grillo) looking to avenge the murder of his son becomes the
reluctant protector of a mother and daughter (Carmen Ejogo and Zoe
Soul) on the run. Can they all survive the night?
His heir revealed in the Bahamas! Kaya’s late mentor was like a

handsome…and soon they’re bound for ever by the consequences of
their desire… Temporary passion or permanent paradise? Jemima

With an introduction by author Anne Enright. Shortlisted for the
Guardian First Book award, a story of civil war and a family's
unbreakable bond. How you see a country depends on whether you are
driving through it, or live in it. How you see a country depends on
whether or not you can leave it, if you have to. As the daughter of
white settlers in war-torn 1970s Rhodesia, Alexandra Fuller
remembers a time when a schoolgirl was as likely to carry a shotgun
as a satchel. This is her story - of a civil war, of a quixotic
battle with nature and loss, and of a family's unbreakable bond
with the continent that came to define, scar and heal them.
Shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, Alexandra Fuller's
classic memoir of an African childhood is suffused with laughter
and warmth even amid disaster. Unsentimental and unflinching, but
always enchanting, Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight is the story
of an extraordinary family in an extraordinary time.

A timely, must-have guide to understanding and overcoming bias in the workplace, from the experts at FranklinCovey.
Unconscious bias affects everyone. It can look like the disappointment of an HR professional when a candidate for a new position asks about maternity leave. It can look like preferring the application of a red brick university graduate over one from a state school. It can look like assuming a man is more entitled to speak in a meeting than his female junior colleague.
Ideal for every manager who wants to understand and move past their own preconceived ideas, Unconscious Bias explains that bias is the result of mental shortcuts, our likes and dislikes, and is a natural part of the human condition. And what we assume about each other and how we interact with one another has vast effects on our organisational success - especially in the workplace. Teaching you how to overcome unconscious bias, this book provides more than thirty unique tools, such as a prep worksheet and a list of ways to reframe your unconscious thoughts.
According to the experts at FranklinCovey, your workplace can achieve its highest performance rate once you start to overcome your biases and allow your employees to be whole people. By recognising bias, emphasising empathy and curiosity, and making true understanding a priority in the workplace, we can unlock the potential of every person we encounter.
When her father becomes gravely ill on holiday in Budapest,
Alexandra Fuller rushes to join her mother at his bedside, where
they see out his last days together and then carry his ashes back
to their farm in Zambia. A master of time and memory, Fuller moves
seamlessly between the days and months following her father's
death. She contends with his overwhelming absence, and her memories
of a childhood spent running after him in southern and central
Africa. She then faces seemingly irreparable family fallout, new
love found and lost, and, eventually, further unimaginable
bereavement. Bursting with pandemonium and tragedy, here is a story
of joy, resilience and vitality, from a writer at the very height
of her powers.
