Fun, feel-good chick lit for girls. This is the perfect warm,
laid-back summer read from a talented new American author. More
juicy than fine, more sexy than delicate, Murphy's good fun - but
she's no angel. At school, Leeda is treated like a queen. She's
loved by just about everyone - except her mom. Living in an orchard
and being homeschooled, Birdie has the social prowess of the
Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's the summer holidays and three girls
meet picking peaches - but they REALLY don't get on; Murphy's too
cool, Leeda's too posh and Birdie's so shy she can't even speak to
guys, especially good-looking ones. Then when Leeda's boyfriend Rex
turns up and Enrico the Mexican takes a shine to Birdie, the girls
find plenty to talk about - and their summer really starts to hot
up...
What kind of leadership will effectively lead the church into the
morally turbulent twenty-first century? The same kind of leadership
that led it through the morally and politically chaotic first
century. Shepherding.
This is the kind of leadership Jesus used, and this is the kind
of leadership that will take his church where he wants it to
go.
While the term "shepherd" produces warm images of love, care,
and tenderness, it also describes a form of leadership that is
perilously protective, dangerous, dirty, and smelly.
"Shepherd" is something that every follower of Christ, the Good
Shepherd, is called to become.
Lynn Anderson, in this important book, leads us backwards in
time to discover and identify the biblical leader for the future
needs of the Christian community. Anderson's deep dig for truth
will concern, convict, and confront us about where leadership has
been, and will set a new standard for where the future leader must
go.
This book tells the story of how a team of colleagues at Boston
College took an unusual approach (working with a design
consultancy) to renewing their core and in the process energized
administrators, faculty, and students to view liberal arts
education as an ongoing process of innovation. It aims to provide
insight into what they did and why they did it and to provide a
candid account of what has worked and what has not worked. Although
all institutions are different, they believe their experiences can
provide guidance to others who want to change their general
education curriculum or who are being asked to teach core or
general education courses in new ways. The book also includes short
essays by a number of faculty colleagues who have been teaching in
BC’s new innovative core courses, providing practical advice
about the challenges of trying interdisciplinary teaching, team
teaching, project-or problem-based learning, intentional
reflection, and other new structures and pedagogies for the first
time. It will also address some of the nuts and bolts issues they
have encountered when trying to create structures to make
curriculum change sustainable over time and to foster ongoing
innovation.

In this stunning re-imagining of J. M. Barrie's beloved classic
Peter Pan, New York Times bestselling author Jodi Lynn Anderson
expertly weaves a gripping tale of love, loss, and adventure.
Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with
the crow feather in her hair... Tiger Lily. When fifteen-year-old
Tiger Lily meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan deep in the
forbidden woods of Neverland, the two form a bond that's impossible
to break, but also impossible to hold on to. As the leader of the
Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is
an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. However, when Wendy Darling, a
girl who is everything Tiger Lily is not, arrives on the island,
Tiger Lily discovers how far she is willing to go to keep Peter
with her, and in Neverland.
Told from the perspective of tiny, fairy-sized Tinkerbell, Tiger
Lily is the breathtaking story of budding romance, letting go and
the pains of growing up.

Inclusive Leisure: A Strengths-Based Approach With HKPropel Access
blends theoretical and practical information to prepare students to
apply the concept of inclusivity to all aspects of the leisure and
recreation field. Inclusive Leisure delivers foundational content
to help readers understand inclusion and applies this knowledge to
practical and applied scenarios. Grounded in a strengths-based
approach, which focuses on a person's abilities rather than their
limitations, the comprehensive text moves beyond programming and
service delivery by exploring how inclusivity can be applied to
administrative practices, organizational philosophy, personnel
practices, infrastructure design, community relations, marketing,
and more. Throughout the text, pedagogical aids such as learning
outcomes, chapter summaries, and reflection questions help students
retain and apply knowledge. Inclusive Leisure also includes the
following features to enhance student engagement: Professionals in
Action sidebars offer a real-world look at the common issues and
inclusive solutions that have been employed by professionals in the
field. Spotlight on Inclusion sidebars highlight leisure programs
that are successfully practicing inclusion in a variety of
settings. Global View on Inclusion sidebars illustrate the work of
international organizations that are committed to spreading
inclusive practices around the globe. Online learning tools
delivered through HKPropel include learning objectives, summaries,
and website links for each chapter. Part I of Inclusive Leisure
outlines fundamental concepts needed to ground professional
practice in inclusion. It defines the strengths-based approach and
examines foundational and theoretical concepts as well as the
legislation that mandates inclusive leisure services. Part II
provides in-depth information on inclusive practices that can be
used by leisure service professionals to ensure a positive
experience for all individuals with disabilities. It challenges
readers to go beyond inclusive programs and to apply inclusion in
all organizational aspects. Part III offers applied information and
examples of inclusion across the breadth of leisure services,
including programming in sports, fitness, aquatics, art, outdoor
adventure, travel and tourism, special events, and more. Inclusive
Leisure asserts that disability is simply part of the human
condition, that the strengths and abilities of people with
disabilities must be at the forefront of inclusion, and that access
to inclusive leisure is a matter of social justice and a critical
professional practice. By learning theoretical and legal
foundations, building on that knowledge with a multitude of applied
elements, and establishing their practice in a strengths-based
approach, students will be well prepared to create inclusive
leisure environments and programming. Note: A code for accessing
HKPropel is included with all print books.

new girl in town, and her friends - beautiful, carefree Pauline and

in Gill Creek... Someone is killing young girls all across the
county. Can the ghost keep these three friends safe? Or does she
have another purpose? A hauntingly beautiful mystery for fans of
The Lovely Bones.
After a not-quite-peachy year apart, three Georgia peaches come
home to Darlington Orchard
When Murphy chose New York City, she left her first love behind.
Now, a summer in Bridgewater means trading subway trains for pickup
trucks and facing the boy she turned her back on.
Leeda expects her trip home to be over faster than her new
Manhattan boyfriend can hail a cab--until a surprising inheritance
saddles her with a huge responsibility.
Birdie's heart led her all the way to Mexico, and heartbreak
brings her back to the orchard. But when the Darlington family
decides to leave peach trees for palm trees, Birdie gets a crash
course in letting go--and learning when to hold on.
Together for another juicy summer, carefree Murphy, perfect
Leeda, and big-hearted Birdie return to the place that allowed them
to bloom. Brimming with all the charm, humor, and heart of Peaches
and The Secrets of Peaches, this satisfying conclusion to the
series reunites three unlikely best friends for a final sweet
farewell.
"Twilight of the Idols" revisits some of the sensational scandals
of early Hollywood to evaluate their importance for our
contemporary understanding of human deviance. By analyzing changes
in the star system and by exploring the careers of individual stars
- Wallace Reid, Rudolph Valentino, and Mabel Normand among them -
Mark Lynn Anderson shows how the era's celebrity culture shaped
public ideas about personality and human conduct and played a
pivotal role in the emergent human sciences of psychology,
anthropology, and sociology. Anderson looks at motion picture stars
who embodied various forms of deviance - narcotic addiction,
criminality, sexual perversion, and racial indeterminacy. He
considers how the studios profited from popularizing ideas about
deviance, and how the debates generated by the early Hollywood
scandals continue to affect our notions of personality, sexuality,
and public morals.
