Getting tangled up with an Olympic rugby player seems like the perfect way to forget about how my life is…

falling apart. Until I discover he&’s my ex-boyfriend&’s best friend. Logan Brown walked into my small town with a charming grin and mischief in his eyes. He&’s a world-class flirt and his confident masculinity is almost as distracting as those rugby thighs. Given my inexperienced history, I&’m no match for our undeniable chemistry. I vow to keep him at arm&’s length. But with Logan, every lingering stare—every forbidden touch—awakens something inside of me I thought I had buried for good. We both know we shouldn&’t cross that line, but I have spent my entire life being a good girl, and suddenly I&’m tempted to be very, very bad. Especially when Logan tells me to just say yes.

Boom: Mad Money, Mega Dealers, and the Rise of Contemporary Art

The meteoric rise of the largest unregulated financial market in the world -- for contemporary art -- is driven by…

a few passionate, guileful, and very hard-nosed dealers. They can make and break careers and fortunes. The contemporary art market is an international juggernaut, throwing off multimillion-dollar deals as wealthy buyers move from fair to fair, auction to auction, party to glittering party. But none of it would happen without the dealers-the tastemakers who back emerging artists and steer them to success, often to see them picked off by a rival. Dealers operate within a private world of handshake agreements, negotiating for the highest commissions. Michael Shnayerson, a longtime contributing editor to Vanity Fair, writes the first ever definitive history of their activities. He has spoken to all of today's so-called mega dealers -- Larry Gagosian, David Zwirner, Arne and Marc Glimcher, and Iwan Wirth -- along with dozens of other dealers -- from Irving Blum to Gavin Brown -- who worked with the greatest artists of their times: Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, and more. This kaleidoscopic history begins in the mid-1940s in genteel poverty with a scattering of galleries in midtown Manhattan, takes us through the ramshackle 1950s studios of Coenties Slip, the hipster locations in SoHo and Chelsea, London's Bond Street, and across the terraces of Art Basel until today. Now, dealers and auctioneers are seeking the first billion-dollar painting. It hasn't happened yet, but they are confident they can push the price there soon.

The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic

From the creator of the award-winning podcast series The History of Rome and Revolutions comes the "remarkably engaging" (Washington Post)…

history of the bloody battles, political machinations, and human drama that set the stage for the fall of the Roman Republic. The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. Beginning as a small city-state in central Italy, Rome gradually expanded into a wider world filled with petty tyrants, barbarian chieftains, and despotic kings. Through the centuries, Rome's model of cooperative and participatory government remained remarkably durable and unmatched in the history of the ancient world. In 146 BC, Rome finally emerged as the strongest power in the Mediterranean. But the very success of the Republic proved to be its undoing. The republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled: rising economic inequality disrupted traditional ways of life, endemic social and ethnic prejudice led to clashes over citizenship and voting rights, and rampant corruption and ruthless ambition sparked violent political clashes that cracked the once indestructible foundations of the Republic. Chronicling the years 146-78 BC, The Storm Before the Storm dives headlong into the first generation to face this treacherous new political environment. Abandoning the ancient principles of their forbearers, men like Marius, Sulla, and the Gracchi brothers set dangerous new precedents that would start the Republic on the road to destruction and provide a stark warning about what can happen to a civilization that has lost its way.

Since it was first published more than 40 years ago, The New Politics of the NHS has become established as…

the key overview of the NHS, its processes and its paths of influence, providing a clear, easy-to-read guide to often complex debates. This eighth edition continues to encompass both the background of the evolution of the NHS since its foundation, while also providing a picture of its present and future in a more pluralistic and financially austere era in which deference to medical expertise continues to erode and information on health and care is accessible to all, while at the same time scepticism and misinformation abound.Reflecting events since the turn of the millennium and under successive government administrations, including strategies for coping with a new, much harsher economic environment, new chapters describe events in the past decade, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the latest change in government.Assuming no prior knowledge of NHS politics and systems, The New Politics of the NHS focuses on management, structure, centralisation, funding, economic performance, challenges, current party-political debates, interest groups and rationing, and, ultimately, on the NHS’s institutional and cultural continuity as a tax-funded service providing comprehensive, universal health care that remains free at the point of delivery. The new edition is a vital update for all healthcare professionals, NHS managers, policy-makers and shapers, and those in special interest groups including patient advocacy organisations and remains essential reading for anyone interested in developing a better understanding of modern healthcare delivery.

and planned efforts to use social networks or social network data to generate social influence, accelerate behavior change, improve performance or quality, and/or achieve desirable outcomes among individuals, communities, organizations, or populations.This book is designed to be a guide or primer on how to use the powerful and formal set of mathematical and computational tools developed in the network analysis field to engage individuals, communities, organizations, and/or populations to bring about change. This change can be the spread of information, culture changes, attitude shifts, or accelerating adoption of new behaviors. It is designed to inform medical and public health professionals who are often tasked with promoting behaviors that improve health or prevent disease at the individual, organizational, community, regional, and/or national levels. It is also designed to be a book useful when the chief medical officer of a hospital or medical care organization turns to a colleague and says, "[O]ur rate of handwashing (or insert X) is too low and we need to increase that." The colleague can then offer a copy of this book, which provides a wide-ranging set of options on how to achieve such changes. It can also be applied to non-healthcare organizations and settings whenever someone wants to bring about cultural or behavioral change. Some of these options, such as network-identified opinion leaders, have considerable evidence, while others have none. The robust evidence base for NIs provides the basis for this book, with the goal of providing practical guidance to enable more widespread use of them.The book focuses on how to actively harness the influence of networks to engage people and organizations in behavior change efforts and improve the development and delivery of interventions.Thomas W. Valente, PhD is Professor in the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Navigating Ethics in Behavior Analysis considers the elusive topic of ethics in the professional context of behavioral analysis. Students often…

assume their Applied Behavior Analysis Ethics class is going to be an easy A+; that it takes no more than common sense and a good moral compass to determine the line between right and wrong. But, as they quickly learn, ethics are different from laws, morals and common sense and, when a variable is modified from how it was originally learned, students can be at a loss for how to critically think through the situation.Drawing from her extensive experience in both teaching and practice, Nicolle Carr highlights the importance of critical thinking when considering questions of ethics in behavior analysis. She examines the history and creation of the Behavior Analysis Certification Board’s (BACB) current ethical code before exploring well-known and novel approaches to navigating the ethical decision-making process with added emphasis on contextual understanding. These approaches are then applied in real-world scenarios: in schools, clinics, homes, residential facilities, higher education and within Organizational Behavior Management. Carr concludes by walking the reader through the process of an ethical violation, from trying to solve an issue alone and ensuring the person falls under the BACB’s jurisdiction, to submitting the appropriate documents and what to expect as the process continues.Delving into the ethical curiosity created by grey areas that play out daily in the world of behavior analysis, this book will be an essential resource for students of behavioral analysis ethics as well as fully certified behavioral analysts.

Sapphic Adolescent Girls in Irish Young Adult Fiction is the first sustained critical analysis of the representation of sapphic adolescent…

protagonists in contemporary Irish Young Adult (YA) literature. Ten YA novels published between 2017 and 2023 by both well-established and emerging Irish female authors are examined, analysing sapphic characters to demonstrate how Irish YA literature can transform and re-imagine sapphic literary representations. This book offers a critical evaluation of how lesbianism and bisexuality have been introduced into Irish YA literature, while also addressing the significance of racism, religion, violence against women and girls, friendships, and parental abandonment in shaping queer identities. This study is ideal for postgraduates and academics in the fields of Irish Studies, Cultural Studies, Gender Studies, and Queer Studies, as well as students interested in YA literature, comparative literature, and contemporary literature.

Group supervision is a growing element of coaching practice – all professional coaching bodies now recognise its role, and with…

it, a sense of community and belonging. This book is a practical guide for practitioners to extend their skill set from individual to group settings.Most coaching supervision training focuses on the fundamentals of supervision and the application in an individual context – but what else do we need to know if we are engaging in group coaching supervision? This book introduces a new six-stage model of group evolution, taking the reader through the life-cycle of supervision groups: from how to put groups together, how to support group members' development (at individual, collective and systemic levels), right through to how to manage group endings and dissolution in a generative way. While written with the developing group coaching supervisor in mind, the book embraces the collaborative nature of supervision and considers the supervisee perspective in every chapter. The context for this book is deliberately non-clinical; this is about group supervision which is intentionally designed to support coaches and leaders who work in an organisational context.If you are curious about how a coaching supervision group is formed and the process of group supervision, this is the book for you! Whilst it is written with the supervisor in mind, each chapter closes with a table that offers key learning points for both supervisors and supervisees.

and rediscover the joy of creating art.Is there such a thing as cheating in art? No.Am I too old to start making art? Of course not.Will I ever like my art? Yes. Eventually. But not always (it&’s complicated).Can my art ever get better? Yes. But with practice (and a lot of patience).If I become an artist, will I be rich? What? No. Who&’s asking these questions???With the inviting nature of Bob Ross and the kindness and empathy of Mister Rogers, Scott Christian Sava has become the internet&’s &“art dad&” to over four million artists (young and old) around the world. But this is not a book about how to hold a pencil. Or how to draw a superhero. Or how to break into the art world (although we do talk about that a little). It&’s about how we can enjoy the process of making art and let go of perfection and self-doubt and the fear of failure by learning to be okay with where we are on our own individual artistic journey. That art is all about experimentation, failing, and trying again.Becoming an Artist is part encouragement, part storytelling, part sketchbook. Filled with art, stories, silly tangents, hard-won wisdom, and over 50 black-and-white watercolor illustrations, all created during a very hectic week in New York City.Whether you&’re a total beginner, a burned-out pro, or someone who hasn&’t made art since middle school, this book is your permission slip to just make stuff. To be weird. To be imperfect. To be human.
