In the late 1970s the golden valley between Utah's Wasatch Mountains was home to some of the best dairies in the country. That was also where Linda Rhodes, a newly minted large animal veterinarian, had to prove that a woman could do what the Mormon dairymen were sure was a man's job. She was often scared that they were right. Throughout her experience, she tackled a menagerie of challenging medical and surgical cases that forced her to be fearless. Every bovine life she saved helped her confidence grow, but each failure left her feeling defeated--as did the mounting tensions between pursuing a demanding career and saving a crumbling marriage.

In Breaking the Barnyard Barrier, Linda Rhodes tells the story of how a woman, through grit and tears, made her way in a man's world and blazed a path that prevailed against career stereotypes.

In the seventh installment of the action-packed Guardians of Horsa graphic novel series, the Guardians must escape the strange land of Asroh and return home before the yearling changes their world forever.

But the yearling is an Element Eater with his sight set on destroying the elemental magic of Horsa. Together, the Guardians must overcome their greatest challenge yet--or risk losing their magic forever.

Instant national bestseller! From the award-winning syndicated comic strip Mutts, the long-awaited "Guard Dog" story is now collected and presented in full color along with supplementary material, timed for the 30th anniversary

Guard Dog made his debut in the Mutts comic strip in 1995 and quickly became one of the strip's most beloved characters.

In October 2023, nearly three decades after his debut, Guard Dog's freedom story began to unfold in newspapers and online.

A cybersecurity expert comes face-to-face with his past

And the woman he once loved...and must now protect with his life

Widow Mallory Stanton is finally free of an abusive marriage--but not from the danger her dead husband left behind. When a missing hard drive leaves her young daughter's life threatened, the desperate mom turns to Rafe Ramirez, a cybersecurity expert and her first love. Rafe vows to expose the culprit...even as he struggles to keep his romantic feelings--and secrets--in check.

From Harlequin Romantic Suspense: Danger. Passion. Drama.

A tour de force of narrative nonfiction, a reimagining of the self-help genre, and a brave memoir about mystical forces, trauma, trans life, and how we must heal ourselves to survive.

For readers of memoirs by Elliot Page (Pageboy) and Elissa Washuta (White Magic), and fans of writers like Carmen Maria Machado, Samantha Hunt, and Chavisa Woods.

In Breaking the Curse, Alex DiFrancesco takes their own crushing experiences of assault, addiction, and transphobic violence as the starting point for a journey to self-reclamation. Reeling in the aftermath of a rape that played out as painfully in public as in private, DiFrancesco begins to pursue spirituality in earnest, searching for an ancestral connection to magic as a form of protection and pathway to transformation. Propelled by a knowledge of the spiritual role of the transgender person in society, Alex winds through Cleveland and Brooklyn and Philly--from rehab and pagan AA meetings and friends' spare mattresses to tarot readers and books about Italian witchcraft to daily ritual, prayer, altar-making, and folk tradition. In so doing, they begin to not only piece together a way to heal but also call into existence a life that finally feels worth living.

Breaking the Curse weaves spells, blasphemous novenas, and personal memories to imagine a new memoir form. Speaking about trauma does not always take its power away, DiFrancesco reminds us, but one can write their truth so that the hurt no longer fills the whole horizon.

"'I see this world as few others do, ' writes Alex DiFrancesco, and thank goodness for that. In their memoir, Breaking the Curse, DiFrancesco offers readers a mesmerizing vision of this world and the workings of trauma, gender identity and magic within it. A spell-binding work."

In her most imaginative novel yet, #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell (None of This Is True) launches the Marvel Crime series of thriller books for adults with an original story starring the private detective Jessica Jones.

Meet Jessica Jones: Retired super hero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell's Kitchen, New York.

The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night's poor choices. But something about Amber Randall's story strikes a chord with her. Amber is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK. The twins don't act like themselves, and they now have flawless skin, have lost their distinctive tics and habits, and keep talking about a girl named Belle. Amber insists her children have been replaced by something horrible, something "perfect."

Traveling to a small village in the British countryside, Jessica meets the mysterious Belle, who lives a curiously isolated life in an old farmhouse with a strange woman who claims to be her guardian. Can this unworldly teenager really be responsible for the Randall twins' new personas? Why does the strange little village of Barton Wallop seem to harbor dark energies and mysteries in its tight-knit community?

A mother's intuition is never wrong. And Jessica knows that nothing in life is perfect--not these kids, not her on-again, off-again relationship with Luke Cage, and certainly not Jessica herself. But even as she tries to buy into the idea that better days are ahead, Jessica Jones has seen all too clearly that behind every promise of perfection trails a dark, dangerous shadow.

Breaking the Dark, the first book in the brand-new Marvel Crime series, introduces fans to a grittier, street-level side of the Marvel Universe, and will continue with original novels featuring fan-favorite characters like Luke Cage, written by S.A. Cosby, and Daredevil, written by Alex Segura.

An internationally recognized scholar provides a powerful explanation of the Breaking the Engagement: How China Won & Lost America between the United States and China.

For over five decades following the 1972 rapprochement between the United States and China, the two countries seemed to be steadily building a sound relationship, even accounting for periodic setbacks like the Tiananmen Square massacre. The last decade, though, has seen a sharp increase in tensions and a complete reorientation of American policies toward China--from "engagement" to "competition."

What happened? In Breaking the Engagement: How China Won & Lost America, esteemed scholar David Shambaugh examines the evolution, expansion, and disintegration of the American engagement strategy towards China.

Shambaugh attributes the recent sharp deterioration of relations to a combination of China's actions and American expectations. Xi Jinping's increasingly assertive foreign policy and domestic repression has directly challenged American interests. More deeply, he argues that the real underlying cause is America's longstanding paternalistic approach to transform China into a liberal state and society which conforms with the US-led global liberal order. When China has generally evolved in this direction-- politically, economically, socially, intellectually, and internationally--it corresponds with American aspirations and the two could cooperate. But when Beijing pushes back against this transformative strategy--which Beijing sees as subversion--Americans become disillusioned and U.S. policymakers see China as a malign regime, which must be countered.

By focusing on the role of perceptions and U.S. expectations in fueling the shift towards competition and rivalry in the last decade, Shambaugh provides a unique new perspective on this critical global relationship.

Drug addiction is a massive public health crisis. Current interventions, public policy, and untold millions of dollars in biomedical research are based on the assumption that addiction is a chronic disease like diabetes and schizophrenia. Does this model withstand scrutiny, or does it falter in the face of the best evidence? Has it served us well in responding to this public health crisis? What if the high failure rate of current interventions is due, at least in part, to wrong views about this malady-its cause and cure? Could some of our programs be making matters worse? What if many of our laws and regulations reflect errant notions of addiction and lead to more harm than good? Are we even willing to consider these possibilities? Breaking the Grip of Addiction provides a critical assessment of the validity of dominant views about and interventions for addiction. Through a concise and accessible analysis of current research, Dr. Craig Svensson addresses these critical questions about addiction: - Do drugs have power over people? - How do biological effects of drugs create addiction? - Do people fall into addiction unexpectedly? - Is addiction inherited? - Do mental health disorders cause addiction? - Are the brains of addicts different? - Is addiction a lifelong affliction? - What drives drug use? - Do treatment programs work? - Can we reward addicts as an incentive to quit using drugs? - Do legal prohibitions work?

Breaking the Grip of Addiction provides answers to these and other essential questions. While revealing the errors of prevailing notions about addiction, Dr. Svensson also proposes an alternative understanding of and approach to this complex affliction that we call addiction.

There is one personality characteristic that all leaders share: They possess the ability to take aligned action quickly. When they have an idea that appears in their awareness, they quickly analyze the best outcome and take aligned action. Granted, some ideas just are never born, or they are deemed not useable, but great ideas are born, acted upon, and change the world. In Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" he speaks of a man who stopped 3-foot short of gold, and because of his decision to stop before he reached his desired goal, he lost everything. A great thinker will apply knowledge, rather than hoarding it. In the practice of applying knowledge faster, action is taken sooner, and the solution appears clearer. The Habit of Overthinking is Chronic! The habit of overthinking is an idea stealer and a dream killer. This book was written to bridge the gap between thinking and acting, jumping and falling. It is written for business people, college students, athletes, mothers, fathers, daughters, grandmothers and entrepreneur dreamers. This book is for creative visionaries and political leaders. Breaking the habit of overthinking will open the space for quick resolutions to daunting problems. I will increase your human potential element of conflict resolution, and it will free your body of unwanted stress.
