Moving in with Adam
by Jeanne AllanHOLDING OUT FOR A HERO Was he carrying neighborliness too far? Adam Treherne did the brave thing by catching a burglar breaking into the house next door. But this was no ordinary thief. She was pretty inept-and pretty cute! Which was an odd admission because Adam usually liked his woman blond and leggy. Sunny Taite was many things, but she was not a burglar. Neither was she blond nor leggy. She'd just forgotten her key. But there was no denying that her interfering next-door neighbor was an attractive physical specimen-if you ignored his personality. Tall, dark and definitely handsome, Adam was going to be hard to resist.... Jeanne Allan's books are "comical and fun." -Affaire de Coeur HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO
Moving Words: Re-Writing Dance
by Gay MorrisMoving Words provides a direct line into the most pressing issues in contemporary dance scholarship, as well as insights into ways in which dance contributes to and creates culture. Instead of representing a single viewpoint, the essays in this volume reflect a range of perspectives and represent the debates swirling within dance. The contributors confront basic questions of definition and interpretation within dance studies, while at the same time examining broader issues, such as the body, gender, class, race, nationalism and cross-cultural exchange. Specific essays address such topics as the black male body in dance, gender and subversions in the dances of Mark Morris, race and nationalism in Martha Graham's 'American Document', and the history of oriental dance.

A sheer pleasure."-Debbie Macomber Kal Johnson is a still-grieving widower with a young child. He can't imagine marrying again-not for love, anyway. But it's becoming increasingly clear that his daughter needs someone besides him. A mother. Kal's solution is to place an ad in a local magazine. Wanted: Woman to enter celibate marriage and be stepmother to four-year-old girl. Send child-rearing philosophies to Mr. Family.... Erika Blade is a woman who's afraid of love. And sex.

Ewing, award-winning author of Scandal's Reward "Mr. Family proves again that there is no voice quite like Margot Early's when it comes to the language of the heart." -Laura DeVries (a.k.a. Laura Gordon), author of contemporary and historical romance

Mrs. Keppel and Her Daughter: A Biography
by Diana SouhamiAlice Keppel, the married lover of Queen Victoria's eldest son and great-grandmother to Camilla Parker-Bowles, was a key figure in Edwardian society. Hers was the acceptable face of adultery. Discretion was her hallmark. It was her art to be the king's mistress and yet to laud the Royal Family and the institution of marriage. Formidable and manipulative, her attentions to the king brought her wealth, power, and status. Her daughter Violet Trefusis had a long tempestuous affair with the author and aristocrat Vita Sackville-West, during which Vita left her husband and two sons to travel abroad with Violet. It was a liaison that threatened the fabric of Violet's social world, and her passion and recalcitrance in pursuit of it pitted her against her mother and society. From memoirs, diaries, and letters, Diana Souhami portrays this fascinating and intense mother/daughter relationship in Mrs. Keppel and Her Daughter. Her story of these women, their lovers, and their lovers' mothers, highlights Edwardian - and contemporary - duplicity and double standards and goes to the heart of questions about sexual freedoms.

Mt. Auburn Hospital
by F. Warren Mcfarlan Jaan EliasIn December of 1993, two of Boston's largest and best known hospitals, Massachusetts General and Brigham and Women's, announced that they were setting aside their historic rivalry to form an alliance and build a regional health network. The announcement set off a wave of merger talk throughout a Boston health care market that was carrying too many specialists, beds, and service providers. Like its peers, Mt. Auburn Hospital began a search for an alliance. The hospital had managed to thrive during the previous decade by restructuring its operations in response to the revolution in managed care. But in a health care environment potentially dominated by regional networks, the hospital's position as a mixture of community and teaching hospital had made it vulnerable. Mt. Auburn's board of trustees formed a special task force on alliances to solicit proposals and make a recommendation as to which (if any) organization would make for the best partner. The suitors that showed up at the task force's door represented nearly every type of player in the health care market. In February of 1996, the task force faced the daunting task of picking through the various alternatives.

Muckraking and Progressivism in the American Tradition
by Louis FillerMuckraking and progressivism have always marched arm-in-arm, cutting a wide path through modern American history. Originally published as Appointment at Armageddon, Filler's book is a vital contribution in understanding the intrinsic dynamic of reform in American life. It extracts from the issues that fostered progressivism and muckraking an essence that illuminates contemporary debate. Filler points out that early twentieth-century progressivism was essentially middle class, seeking common denominators for social interests. It was also a modernizing force in such areas as child labor, poverty, farm problems, and race relations. In his new introduction, Filler reviews various instances of progressivism throughout history. Filler maintains that progressivism died out when pride in its achievements turned to bitterness. Rather than celebrating the progress made by outstanding Americans, such as W.E.B. DuBois and Susan B. Anthony, various groups began focusing only on the oppressed and the oppressors. By concentrating on the negative instead of the positive, Americans abandoned the forward-looking tenets of turn of the century progressivism.Muckraking and Progressivism in the American Tradition is a timely book. It is needed to inspire Americans to find a new way to solve current dilemmas. This significant work will be of interest to sociologists, historians, and political theorists.

by Francisco AyalaUna de las novelas más impresionantes escritas en lengua española sobre la arbitrariedad y el abuso de poder. Muertes de perro fue publicada por primera vez en 1958, durante el largo exilio que vivió Francisco Ayala.

La obra incluye estudios introductorios del novelista y académico José María Merino y de la crítica literaria Carolyn Richmond. La Real Academia Española, con motivo de su III Centenario, da inicio a la publicación de una serie de ediciones especiales de obras literarias escritas por autores españoles relevantes de los siglos XIX y XX. Los textos presentados parten de la primera edición y consideran las ediciones más importantes luego publicadas.
