From the New York Times bestselling author of Between a Book and a Hard Place comes the latest Devereaux’s Dime Store Mystery—and it packs a bite. Opening up a dime store in her hometown of Shadow Bend, Missouri, Devereaux “Dev” Sinclair thought she’d left the wilds of city life behind her. But she’s about to discover that even rural life can be beastly. . . Handsome private investigator Jake Del Vecchio has rented the office space on the second floor above Devereaux’s dime store, and Dev now finds herself embroiled in his first case, which involves Gabriella Winston, the missing wife of wealthy philanthropist Elliot Winston. Elliot is determined to open a wildlife park on the edge of town but is facing all sorts of angry opposition—including Gabriella. After the Winstons have a bitter fight, Gabriella disappears, and their house is ransacked. The authorities are quick to claim Elliot killed his wife, but Dev’s not so sure. One thing is certain: Claws are out in Shadow Bend. . . .

Nickeled-and-Dimed to Death by Denise Swanson Pdf

In New York Times bestselling author Denise Swanson’s “slightly zany”* new mystery series, Devereaux Sinclair loves running her old-fashioned store in her small Missouri hometown. If only murder didn’t keep landing on her doorstep… Dev’s five-and-dime may be doing well, but her love life is in turmoil. She’s torn between Deputy U.S. Marshal Jake Del Vecchio, who is on an undercover assignment, and her ex-beau Noah Underwood, the local doctor from a high-society family. So she welcomes the distraction when Elise Whitmore offers her a great deal on antique chocolate molds that would be perfect for her Easter gift baskets. But do the molds actually belong to Elise’s soon-to-be ex-husband? In buying them, has Dev committed a felony? When Elise is found shot to death, the mystery deepens—and Dev’s good friend Boone, who discovered the body, is taken into custody. With the help of her best buds, Dev must clear Boone’s name and find the real killer. Good thing that when it comes to amateur sleuths, they broke the mold with Dev Sinclair. *Library Journal

Animals and Human Society by Colin G. Scanes,Samia Toukhsati Pdf

Animals and Human Society provides a solid, scientific, research-based background to advance understanding of how animals impact humans. As a resource for both science and non-science majors (including students planning to major in or studying animal science, pre-veterinary medicine, animal behavior, conservation biology, ecotoxicology, epidemiology and evolutionary biology), the book can be used as a text for courses in Animals and Human Society or Animal Science, or as supplemental material for an Introduction to Animal Science. The book offers foundational background to those who may have little background in animal agriculture and have focused interest on companion animals and horses. Animals have had profound effects on people from the earliest times, ranging from zoonotic diseases, to the global impact of livestock, poultry and fish production, to the influences of human-associated animals on the environment (on extinctions, air and water pollution, greenhouse gases, etc.), to the importance of animals in human evolution and hunter-gatherer communities. The volume introduces livestock production (including poultry and aquaculture) but also includes coverage of companion and lab animals. In addition, animal behavior and animal perception are covered. It can also function as a reference or recommended reading for a capstone class on ethical and public policy aspects related to animals. This book is likewise an excellent resource for researchers, academics or students newly entering a related field or coming from another discipline and needing foundational information, as well as interested laypersons looking to augment their knowledge on the many impacts of animals in human society. Features research-based and pedagogically sound content, with learning goals and textboxes to provide key information Challenges readers to consider issues based on facts rather than polemics Poses ethical questions and raises overall societal impacts Balances traditional animal science with companion animals, animal biology, zoonotic diseases, animal products, environmental impacts and all aspects of human/animal interaction Includes access to PowerPoints that facilitate easy adoption and/or use for online classes

Core Emunah: Hello? G-D? by Rabbi Shlomo Ben Zeev Pdf

My greatest fear? To get to the end of my life only to realize that I blew it. I missed the whole point of life entirely. Assuming, of course, there is one... One day, I realized that I have to come to an informed decision about life’s most fundamental questions: Does G-d Exist? Is there meaning and purpose to life? If yes, what is it? Otherwise, I would be making my greatest fear a reality. This book is about the most fundamental question of all: Does G-d exist? It is the product of well over 20 years of research and slow, methodical analysis. The claims for and against, the rebuttals, and the counterclaims. All of it. If you, like me, are afraid you may be missing the point - then get this book! Take a journey with me to investigate life’s most fundamental question. See if you agree with my assessment of the evidence and my conclusions. Fear no more.

Mother of Stories by Alice Dailey Pdf

In a breathtaking blend of lyrical memoir, photographs, and textual artifacts, Mother of Stories examines the complex legacy of a mother who was a gifted teacher, a passionate reader, and a pathological liar. While Alice Dailey was immersed in an academic study of death in Shakespeare’s history plays, her mother died from toxic exposure to mold. Composed in a fugue of grief, Mother of Stories is Dailey’s uncompromising account of the months before and after her mother’s death. Through varied forms of episodic and visual recreation, Mother of Stories confronts what it means to inherit violent family narratives and, in their wake, to have to reconceive the borders between lived, imaginary, and literary experience. A hybrid, richly imaginative work that synthesizes past and present, counterfeit and real, Mother of Stories oscillates between the inescapable weight of history and the cathartic liberation of art and storytelling. In constructing a poetic assemblage reminiscent at once of medieval miscellanies and contemporary experimental autotheory, Dailey’s acts of rehearsing, cutting, and folding history generate forms of radical critique that puncture and reconstitute the limits of literary nonfiction.
