In the game of second chances, can they follow the rules?
When Ellis Ainsley runs into her ex, Liam Ruinsky, ten years after they split, she remembers why she fell for him all those years ago. A tall, strong, charming ice hockey player - he really was a dream man. But their lifestyles are now worlds apart, and surely wouldn't work in reality. But the temptation is too much, and they agree to one last night together.
They thought nothing could go wrong. That was, until Ellis saw the positive result on the pregnancy test.
Already a chronically ill woman struggling to juggle her health and career, Ellis needs to figure out how to tell her NHL-playing ex-boyfriend he is going to be a dad. And despite their decision to coparent, their chemistry is still undeniable.
With turbulent families, over-bearing coaches, and the media wanting a slice of Liam's life: will he be able to step up? Most of all: will they risk falling in love for a second time?

This book deconstructs androcentric approaches to spacetime
inherited from western modernity through its theoretical frame of
the chronotropics. It sheds light on the literary acts of archival
disruption, radical remapping, and epistemic marronnage by
twenty-first-century Caribbean women writers to restore aÂ
connection to spacetime, expanding it within and beyond the
region. Arguing that the chronotropics points to a vocation for
social justice and collective healing, this pan-Caribbean volume
returns to autochthonous ontologies and epistemologies to propose a
poetics and politics of the chronotropics that is anticolonial,
gender inclusive, pluralistic, and non-anthropocentric.
With a foreword by First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, this
book is the first to offer an in-depth look into what makes the
Welsh Social Work context unique. It includes the move towards
joint children, families and adult provision and the emphasis on
early intervention, future generations and partnership
considerations. Covering the subject knowledge required by the
Welsh regulator, Social Care Wales, it provides essential reading
for students and practising social workers in Wales, and rich
contextual analysis for other international social work
practitioners and writers. Each chapter includes: * dialogue on the
distinctive 'Welsh Way' that underpins the nation's social work
approach; * focus on application: responses and implications for
professional practice; * the 'giving of voice' section:
demonstrating the key emphasis in Welsh practice of ensuring that
multiple stakeholder perspectives are actively heard; * key
resources for further independent exploration of the topics.
At the London Olympics in 2012 Team GB achieved a third place
finish in the medals table. A key factor in this achievement was
the high standard of contemporary British sports coaching. But how
has British sports coaching transitioned from the amateur to the
professional, and what can the hitherto under-explored history of
sports coaching in Britain tell us about both the early history of
sport and about contemporary coaching practice? A History of Sports
Coaching in Britain is the first book to attempt to examine the
history of British sports coaching, from its amateur roots in the
deep nineteenth century to the high performance, high status
professional coaching cultures of today. The book draws on original
primary source material, including the lost coaching lives of key
individuals in British coaching, to trace the development of
coaching in Britain. It assesses the continuing impact of the
nineteenth-century amateur ethos throughout the twentieth century,
and includes important comparisons with developments in
international coaching, particularly in North America and the
Eastern Bloc. The book also explores the politicisation of sport
and the complicated interplay between politics and coaching
practice, and illuminates the origins of the structures,
organisations and philosophies that surround performance sport in
Britain today. This book is fascinating reading for anybody with an
interest in the history of sport, sports coaching, sports
development, or the relationships between sport and wider society.

British Psychology Society Textbook of the Year 2020 Why do people
who are more socially connected live longer and have better health
than those who are socially isolated? Why are social ties at least
as good for your health as not smoking, having a good diet, and
taking regular exercise? Why is treatment more effective when there
is an alliance between therapist and client? Until now, researchers
and practitioners have lacked a strong theoretical foundation for
answering such questions. This ground-breaking book fills this gap
by showing how social identity processes are key to understanding
and effectively managing a broad range of health-related problems.
Integrating a wealth of evidence that the authors and colleagues
around the world have built up over the last decade, The New
Psychology of Health provides a powerful framework for
reconceptualising the psychological dimensions of a range of
conditions - including stress, trauma, ageing, depression,
addiction, eating behaviour, brain injury, and pain. Alongside
reviews of current approaches to these various issues, each chapter
provides an in-depth analysis of the ways in which theory and
practice can be enriched by attention to social identity processes.
Here the authors show not only how an array of social and
structural factors shape health outcomes through their impact on
group life, but also how this analysis can be harnessed to promote
the delivery of 'social cures' in a range of fields. This is a
must-have volume for service providers, practitioners, students,
and researchers working in a wide range of disciplines and fields,
and will also be essential reading for anyone whose goal it is to
improve the health and well-being of people and communities in
their care.
In Matria Redux: Caribbean Women Novelize the Past, author Tegan
Zimmerman contends that there is a need for reading Caribbean
women’s texts relationally. This comprehensive study argues that
the writer’s turn to maternal histories constitutes the
definitive feature of this transcultural and transnational genre.
Through an array of Caribbean women’s historical novels published
roughly between 1980 and 2010, this book formulates the theory of
matria—an imagined maternal space and time—as a
postcolonial-psychoanalytic feminist framework for reading fictions
of maternal history written by and about Caribbean women. Tracing
the development of the historical novel in four periods of the
Caribbean past—slavery, colonialism, revolution, and
decolonization—this study argues that a pan-Caribbean generation
of women writers, of varying discursive racial(ized) realities, has
depicted similar matria constructs and maternal motifs. A
politicized concept, matria functions in the historical novel as a
counter-narrative to traditional historical and literary
discourses. Through close readings of the mother/daughter plots in
contemporary Caribbean women’s historical fiction, such as Andrea
Levy’s The Long Song, Edwidge Danticat’s The Farming of Bones,
Paule Marshall’s Praisesong for the Widow, and Marie-Elena
John’s Unburnable, Matria Redux considers the concept of matria
an important vehicle for postcolonial-psychoanalytic feminist
literary resistance and political intervention. Matria as a
psychoanalytic, postcolonial strategy therefore envisions, by
returning to history, alternative feminist fictions, futures, and
Caribbeans.

Healthcare history is more than leeches and drilling holes in
skulls. It is stories of scientific failures and triumphs.
Exploring American Healthcare History through 50 Historic Treasures
presents a visual and narrative history of health and medicine in
the United States, tracing paradigm shifts such as the introduction
of anesthesia, the adoption of germ theory, and advances in public
health. The book provides windows into ordinary people’s
experiences with different schools of thought about treatment, from
patent medicines and faith healing to hospital-based clinical
trials. Exploring American Healthcare History showcases
little-known objects that illustrate the complexities of our
relationship with health, like a set of teeth from a small town in
Arkansas where the link between fluoride and dental health was
first discovered. It also highlights famous moments in medicine,
such as the discovery of penicillin, and puts them into social and
cultural context. Exploring American Healthcare History through 50
Historic Treasures will discuss concepts that are key to history
curricula and to using history as a lens to understand society. The
concepts include healthcare’s intersection with race, law, and
changing cultural attitudes in a society shaped by science,
religion, and economic forces. The choice of “healthcare†as
the focus reflects the fact that the book encompasses conventional
medicine, surgery, nursing, alternative medicines, and public
health. The book discusses some areas of healthcare history in
which practitioners were led by bias or greed rather than evidence.
Some patent medicines, for example, lived up to their reputation as
get-rich-quick schemes for their inventors. A few of the historic
artifacts in the book, such as eugenics medals awarded to families
with “good†genes, are treasures in the sense that they are a
vital connection to shameful episodes in our past. The book
explores artifacts and historic sites as individual things or
places with their own stories, and as objects and sites
representative of larger trends. This full-color book with over 50
photographs of artifacts like a beer advertised as harnessing the
health-giving power of the sun show how the advancing science of
health touched people’s everyday lives as well as their doctor
visits. Patent medicines and machines highlight ways that people
avoided or reacted to mainstream medicine, like faith healing,
commercial nostrums, and alternative medicine. Thermometers and
mold-culturing pans provide a tour of developments such as
professional nursing and the “miracle drug†penicillin, while
offering insight into epidemics from tuberculosis, plague, and the
1918 flu to HIV and opioid misuse. Historical caregivers featured
include Pedro Jaramillo, a Mexican-American curandero, Dr. Susan
LaFlesche Picotte, a trailblazing Omaha medical doctor, and Mattie
Donnell Hicks, a Black nurse who served with both segregated and
integrated units in the Army Corps of Nurses. This book describes
the days when surgeons worked on patients without anesthesia and
wiped their scalpels on their coats, and the day that EMTs raced to
provide help when the Twin Towers were attacked in 2001, providing
insight relevant to today’s problems and colorful anecdotes along
the way.

day they found their stepdad's guitar and their lives changed
course forever. High School is a revelatory joint memoir. It
captures two sisters wrestling with their sexual and artistic
identities and those breathtaking years when the future seems
wondrously possible.
