As the chopper pilot for the elite Lifeline search-and-rescue team, Erin Tate is all about control. In the air, she’s the boss, but in the bedroom? That’s where she wants to let go. She’s looking for a man who can handle her strength and strip away her control. Enter Timothy Dextor, a paramedic with a wild card reputation and the dark appetites to match. The only thing he’s missing is a woman who gets him. Landing a spot on the Lifeline squad puts Erin, his old flame, right back in his sights. He knows exactly what she needs, and this time, he’s not about to let her slip away. When an emergency on an icy glacier snowfield throws Erin and Timothy together in ways they never expected, the stakes skyrocket—both on the job and off. They’ll need to discover the true meaning of control and confront the risks that come with falling deeply in love. ---- Keywords: Canadian Author, adventure romance, rekindled romance, contemporary, small town, search-and-rescue romance, backcountry survival For readers who enjoy: Rachel Grant, Toni Anderson, Laura Griffin, Rebecca Zanetti, Karen Rose.

Falling Freestyle Dara and her best friends, Kane and Jack, have explored every inch of their local wilderness together. But lately, Dara wonders why they still see her as just a buddy with breasts. Both men are ready to settle down—preferably with her—but neither wants to risk their trio. When Dara overhears their conversation, she’s thrown into turmoil. During their annual ski-holiday getaway, she knows she must confront her feelings. If it takes a little seduction to find clarity, Dara’s ready to risk it all for love. Rising Freestyle Melanie Dixon’s body has healed after a horrific climbing accident, but her courage remains shattered. Desperate to reclaim her life, she moves to her brother’s town and faces her biggest fear—the climbing wall. Derrick James is mesmerized by her beauty and determination. Their connection is undeniable, but when a ghost from Melanie’s past resurfaces with a proposition for a “where are they now” exposé, her fragile world teeters on the edge. Trust is everything, but will it be enough to keep their newfound love from falling apart? -- Keywords: Canadian Author, adventure romance, rekindled romance, contemporary, small town, search-and-rescue romance, backcountry survival For readers who enjoy: Rachel Grant, Toni Anderson, Laura Griffin, Rebecca Zanetti, Karen Rose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, chess games have been divided into three stages - opening, middlegame and endgame - and general principles presented for how to handle each stage. All chess-players will be well aware that these principles all too frequently fail to help in their selection of the best move. In this important work, Lars Bo Hansen, grandmaster and professional educator, presents chess as a game of five phases, and explains the do's and don'ts in each: * the opening * the transition to the early middlegame * the middlegame * strategic endgames * technical endgames * With a wealth of examples from both his own practice and that of his colleagues, Hansen discusses the typical mistakes and pitfalls, and shows how to handle the subtleties unique to each stage. He also advises on how to work on your chess in each aspect of the game. Of special value is his explanation of how to study typical middlegames, and that middlegame preparation - a neglected area for most players - is both possible and necessary.

Specializing in high-risk rescue missions, this team goes wherever the job takes them... Natural disasters and watery risks—their only chance of survival is to rescue each other. Alisha Bailey traded a life of privilege for the adrenaline-fueled world of search-and-rescue. She’s sacrificed a lot to prove she’s more than just a pretty face or a business pawn—even denying her growing attraction to her teammate. Devon Leblanc has always masked his fascination with Alisha behind their competitive banter. But when a natural disaster forces them to set aside their rivalry, the sparks between them ignite into a fiery passion. As they explore their newfound connection, their appreciation for each other’s skills deepens—both on the field and in the bedroom. But as unexplained accidents start plaguing the Lifeline team, Alisha and Devon’s fragile bond might be their only hope for survival… -- Keywords: Canadian Author, adventure romance, rekindled romance, contemporary, small town, search-and-rescue romance, backcountry survival For readers who enjoy: Rachel Grant, Toni Anderson, Laura Griffin, Rebecca Zanetti, Karen Rose.

When eight-year-old Beth Harmon’s parents are killed in an automobile accident, she’s placed in an orphanage in Mount Sterling, Kentucky. Plain and shy, Beth learns to play chess from the janitor in the basement and discovers she is a prodigy. Though penniless, she is desperate to learn more—and steals a chess magazine and enough money to enter a tournament. Beth also steals some of her foster mother’s tranquilizers to which she is becoming addicted. At thirteen, Beth wins the chess tournament. By the age of sixteen she is competing in the US Open Championship and, like Fast Eddie in The Hustler, she hates to lose. By eighteen she is the US champion—and Russia awaits . . . Fast-paced and elegantly written, The Queen’s Gambit is a thriller masquerading as a chess novel—one that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. “The Queen’s Gambit is sheer entertainment. It is a book I reread every few years—for the pure pleasure and skill of it.” —Michael Ondaatje, Man Booker Prize–winning author of The English Patient

Book excerpt: There was a time when the Kings Gambit was the favorite chess opening of every attacking player. In the glory days of Paul Morphy it was considered almost cowardly to play anything else. Legends such as Spassky and Bronstein kept the flame burning in the 20th century, but its popularity faded, as many players are wary of sacrificing a pawn for long-term compensation. There are honorable exceptions whose games prove that this ancient weapon can still draw blood: Morozevich, Short, Zvjaginsev and ex-US Champion Yury Shulman are world-class players who attack with the Kings Gambit.

Book excerpt: A masterful account of how Ronald Reagan and his national security team confronted the Soviets, reduced the nuclear threat, won the Cold War, and supported the spread of freedom around the world. “Remarkable… a great read.”—Robert Gates • “Mesmerizing… hard to put down.”—Paul Kennedy • “Full of fresh information… will shape all future studies of the role the United States played in ending the Cold War.”—John Lewis Gaddis • “A major contribution to our understanding of the Reagan presidency and the twilight of the Cold War era.”—David Kennedy With decades of hindsight, the peaceful end of the Cold War seems a foregone conclusion. But in the early 1980s, most experts believed the Soviet Union was strong, stable, and would last into the next century. Ronald Reagan entered the White House with no certainty of what would happen next, only an overriding faith in democracy and an abiding belief that Soviet communism—and the threat of nuclear war—must end. The Peacemaker reveals how Reagan’s White House waged the Cold War while managing multiple crises around the globe. From the emergence of global terrorism, wars in the Middle East, the rise of Japan, and the awakening of China to proxy conflicts in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Reagan’s team oversaw the worldwide expansion of democracy, globalization, free trade, and the information revolution. Yet no issue was greater than the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union. As president, Reagan remade the four-decades-old policy of containment and challenged the Soviets in an arms race and ideological contest that pushed them toward economic and political collapse, all while extending an olive branch of diplomacy as he sought a peaceful end to the conflict. Reagan’s revolving team included Secretaries of State Al Haig and George Shultz; Secretaries of Defense Caspar Weinberger and Frank Carlucci; National Security Advisors Bill Clark, John Poindexter, and Bud McFarlane; Chief of Staff James Baker; CIA Director Bill Casey; and United Nations Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick. Talented and devoted to their president, they were often at odds with one another as rivalries and backstabbing led to missteps and crises. But over the course of the presidency, Reagan and his team still developed the strategies that brought about the Cold War’s peaceful conclusion and remade the world. Based on thousands of pages of newly-declassified documents and interviews with senior Reagan officials, The Peacemaker brims with fresh insights into one of America’s most consequential presidents. Along the way, it shows how the pivotal decade of the 1980s shaped the world today.

As the future relationship between Israelis and Palestinians is being determined, Barrier: The Seam of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is an important book that addresses one of the most controversial solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major developments in the field since the publication of Learning Forensic Assessment are integrated in this revised edition, including revised editions of the DSM-5, HCR-20 scale, and child custody guidelines. This textbook is designed for graduate students learning forensic assessment and psychologists coming to forensic practice later in their careers. It is organized around five broad areas: Professional and Practice Issues, Adult Forensic Assessment, Juvenile Forensic Assessment, Civil Forensic Assessment, and Communicating Your Findings. Each chapter begins with a strong teaching and learning foundation. The latter part of each chapter is assessment specific, covering available assessment measures and approaches to assessment. The authors go well beyond simple descriptions of assessment measures and provide a conceptual discussion of the evaluation process that helps the reader understand how assessment measures fit into the overall evaluation process. The evaluation component is geared toward assessing the important aspects of the construct as laid out in the early part of each chapter. Each chapter then concludes with a case example to illustrate the measures and techniques described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States developed the Gambit and Hexagon programs to improve the nation's means for peering over the iron curtain that separated western democracies from east European and Asian communist countries. The inability to gain insight into vast "denied areas" required exceptional systems to understand threats posed by US adversaries. Corona was the first imagery satellite system to help see into those areas. Hexagon began as a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program with the first concepts proposed in 1964. The CIA's primary goal was to develop an imagery system with Corona-like ability to image wide swaths of the earth, but with resolution equivalent to Gambit. Such a system would afford the United States even greater advantages monitoring the arms race that had developed with the nation's adversaries. The Hexagon mapping camera flew on 12 of the 20 Hexagon missions. It proved to be a remarkably efficient and prodigious producer of imagery for mapping purposes. The mapping camera system was successful by every standard including technical capabilities, reliability, and capacity.
