Sextet
Journalist Lindsay Drummond is about to re-make her life: she plans to move out of London, change her job, and above all, cure herself of her hopeless love for her unfairly handsome colleague, Rowland McGuire. Deadline day is Hallowe'en - but an encounter then with Rowland's friend, Colin Lascelles, a man much less innocent than he seems, quickly teaches her that the best-laid plans can go delightfully awry... In New York, actress Natasha Lawrence is also trying to rebuild her life. Pursued by a stalker for the past five years, still bound to her ex-husband, the celebrated film director Tomas Court, she retreats with her son to the precincts of the exclusive - and haunted - Conrad apartment building. But will it provide her with the security she so desperately seeks, and will she and her husband be able to lay to rest the ghosts of their past? Lindsay's and Natasha's lives become inextricably entangled; when the cast of characters gathers for Thanksgiving at the sinister Conrad building, anything can happen, for romance and retribution, marriage and murder are in the air.
Tell Me Why I Can't
The United States is at a critical point. Our jobs, the prices we pay for products, and the heart of American entrepreneurship itself are at stake. Those betting against us say that China is outcompeting us, out-innovating us, and not playing by the rules and that, under these circumstances, our defeat is inevitable. In Tell Me Why I Can't, Ron Simon describes how victory competing in the global market is not just possible but also intrinsic to America's capitalist DNA. Both moving memoir and captivating case study, Tell Me Why I Can't explores the limitless potential of US entrepreneurism and its unparalleled ability to reward innovation, creativity, and positive disruption. Simon's rise to business greatness is a testament to the power and possibility of the American Dream.

Embodying Ecological Heritage in a Maya Community: Health, Happiness, and Identity provides an ethnographic account of life in a rural farming village in southern Belize, focusing on the connections between traditional ecological practices and the health and wellness of the Maya community living there. It discusses how complex histories, ecologies, and development practices are negotiated by individuals of all ages, and the community at large, detailing how they interact with their changing environments. The study has wide applicability for indigenous communities fighting for rights to manage their lands across the globe, as well as for considering how health is connected to heritage practices in communities worldwide.
