Gail returned from college to a fianc who fathered five children, Chavi, Mabel, Milton, Avena, and Marigold. As the initial shock wore off, she gave Kent an ultimatum, which he spent years trying to avoid. She had no intention of helping Kent raise these children; instead she sought to make things as difficult as possible for them. Mabel who was most affected in the process embarked on a journey trying desperately to escape the dysfunctionality. The journey took her through years of abuse, and just when she thought she would triumph, disaster struck.

Journalism's increasingly shrinking audiences and profits fuel enormous pressure on mainstream media, which many contend has resulted in lower quality, more superficial and less relevant news. In this book, author Margaret Thompson introduces a more collaborative and reflexive way of producing news that incorporates concepts of cultural identity and cultural positioning of both journalists and sources. Written for multicultural journalism courses, this text uses a critical perspective to explore in-depth various issues of multicultural media as applied to the craft, treating the act of multicultural reporting as a separate type of journalism practice. While other books focus on news and multicultural communities, Thompson addresses issues of power and privilege amongst journalists and marginalized groups, as well as the implications of these challenges for the power dynamics of journalists and their work, particularly as they relate to race and gender.

This is a collection of personal essays by Margaret Thompson that offers a straightforward study of the complex relationship between human beings and the natural world. The essays look at a wide range of beings - from spiders to peacocks - and cover issues such as our irrational phobias, our fascination with zoos, and the myths and stories we have created around the other occupants of this earth. And they observe the joy animals bring to us as our pets, caregivers and companions, and our altruistic relationship with them to provide essentials throughout their lifetimes. With lively anecdotes and engaging portraits of the animals who have enriched Margaret's life, these entertaining and personal essays serve a double purpose: as a reminder of our place in the natural order and our intricate connections with animals; and as a warning about how much we stand to lose by ignoring our responsibilities for all life on earth. Meant to inspire and motivate, "Adrift on the Ark" is an enchanting reflection on the beneficial relationship between humans and other animals.

What is physiology and why should you care? Some universities have removed physiology from their curriculum, because both students and teachers felt it was too hard to learn. However, if you are among those hoping to enter a healthcare profession you will need to complete course credits in physiology. This is the first in a series of small books created to show you how to study physiology successfully. It provides the basic framework necessary for understanding physiology in general and human physiology in particular. It is written so that you can understand the information even if you have no previous exposure to scientific jargon. Most physiology courses start with a very brief introduction to chemistry. But, it is difficult for beginners to see the relevance of chemistry to the study of physiology. Chemistry in chemistry class appears different than chemistry in physiology class. In chemistry, if you want chemicals to react to each other, you either add or subtract heat. To accommodate the body's need for a constant temperature, human physiology's use of chemistry's principles requires innovative design and customization. You will find here answers to the following and much more: How do bonds in molecules form? What is that mysterious stuff called molecular energy? What is water chemistry, and why is water necessary for life to exist? How and why is neutral blood pH maintained? What is a semi permeable membrane? What is osmotic pressure and why does it matter? How does hydrostatic pressure differ from osmotic pressure? How can gaseous oxygen and carbon dioxide flow in opposite directions during breathing? What do body fluids have to do with nerve cell function? Many authors of textbooks for physiology are overwhelmed by the amount of new information that arrives almost daily. Physiology is far from being a "finished science." For example, the complete human gene sequence was revealed in the past 15 years, and knowledge of the human immune system has evolved since 1990 from being a mysterious force to being recognized a complex sophisticated defense system. Yet, the basic principles on which physiology is established did not change. Ten years from now details about how living systems survive will surely expand exponentially, but the basic chemical framework of physiology will continue to remain the same. In these pages you will discover how closely human physiology is aligned with Earth's environment. When you finish reading Physiology: Custom-designed Chemistry, you will know the answer to the question "What is physiology and why should you care?"
