Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisa, an intelligent and attractive high school senior, is on a quest to understand happiness. Guided by her middle-class values, Christian faith, and a keen interest in science and philosophy, she navigates life with her unpredictable, alcoholic mother and her own inner demons. Dreaming of a freedom as delicate as a butterfly’s, Lisa finds solace in her final year when she meets Christos, an accomplished long-distance swimmer. Captivated by Christos’s love for beauty and his laid-back nature, Lisa joins his family’s Greek band as a singer and dancer after graduation. Fortuitously inheriting substantial assets, she establishes a thriving taverna, though at the expense of her health. However, Lisa’s world shatters when she uncovers Christos’s hidden traits of deception and dishonesty, defended by him through Machiavellian principles and a curious analogy to Santa Claus. This revelation challenges her deeply held Christian virtues and scientific rationale. Resolute to win her trust, Christos undergoes a transformation, adopting honesty and humility. Ultimately, the couple finds common ground and retreats to Christos’s inherited farm on a picturesque Greek island. There, amidst ancient stone houses, pencil pines, and the crystalline Aegean Sea, they rediscover each other and perhaps the elusive happiness Lisa has been seeking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-class armchair travel at its very best! Mona Lisa’s Pajamas gives readers a round-trip ticket for a journey around the world, carrying them to distant destinations most of us will never visit. Originally written for The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg News, A. Craig Copetas’s delightfully surprising columns are now collected in book form for the first time. Covering exotic locales, improbable business ventures, artisan winemakers, and memorably oddball characters, Copetas’s vivid writing brings his subjects alive with richly-textured descriptions only a truly gifted observer can capture. From Sparta’s souvenir sword-makers swamped with demand thanks to the hit movie 300, to a Russian golf pro whose favorite clubs were built from the scrapped metal of a Soviet nuclear missile, Copetas writes of unorthodox business pursuits and faraway locations with an infectious joie de vivre and an unerring eye for what makes enjoyable reading. Unforgettable visits for the armchair traveler: -Israel's Sacred Golf Course: where bomb craters have become bunkers -How to Succeed in Business and Avoid Serious Head Trauma: near Stockholm, a former British Special Air Services commando teaches executives how to survive a kidnapping -An Honorable and Ancient Solution to Boardroom Disputes: the 21st-century duel -Propulsion Is a Real Plus with Clubs Made in a Missile Factory: A Russian treasures his set of golf clubs--made from an old Soviet missile once aimed at the US -Da Vinci Code Fans Dig Up the Dead: Dan Brown’s devotees swarm a town central to the blockbuster’s story

Book excerpt: She's successful. She's popular. She's pretty. She's conservative. As the granddaughter of the first Republican governor elected in Texas since Reconstruction, Lisa Dillon Jeffus is The Princess. Serving as consigliore to an ever-growing list of elected VIPs, Lisa Jeffus is the go-to girl for embattled members of the troubled Republican Party. Founding her own political fund-raising firm in Dallas, Lisa's fortunes turn the day she takes an appointment with a shady consultant named Danny Geister. Lisa's husband is severely injured and in a coma right as she discovers she's pregnant with their first child. The Princess must now struggle to maintain her place in a world where demanding clients, worrisome in-laws, suspicious activists, and the mysterious Geister compete for her sanity. Borrowing from his years hanging around both Republicans and evangelical Christians, Trey Bahm relates the difficulties faced by those who are motivated by faith to engage in politics. With a unique perspective, Bahm crafts characters and a setting that place the modern Republican Party in relief against its early twenty-first century zenith.

Book excerpt: Everybody knows her smile, but no one knows her story: Meet the flesh-and-blood woman who became one of the most famous artistic subjects of all time—Mona Lisa. A genius immortalized her. A French king paid a fortune for her. An emperor coveted her. Every year more than nine million visitors trek to view her portrait in the Louvre. Yet while everyone recognizes her smile, hardly anyone knows her story. “Combining history, whimsical biography, personal travelogue, and love letter to Italy...Mona Lisa is an entertaining” (Publishers Weekly) book of discovery about the world’s most recognized face. Who was she? Why did the most renowned painter of her time choose her as his model? What became of her? And why does her smile enchant us still? Dianne Hales, author of La Bella Lingua, became obsessed with finding the real Mona Lisa on repeated trips to Florence. In Mona Lisa: A Life Discovered, she takes readers with her to meet Lisa’s descendants; uncover her family’s long and colorful history; and explore the neighborhoods where she lived as a girl, a wife, and a mother. In the process, we can participate in Lisa’s daily rituals; understand her personal relationships; and see, hear, smell, and taste “her” Florence. Hales brings to life a time poised between the medieval and the modern, a vibrant city bursting into fullest bloom, and a culture that redefined the possibilities of man—and of woman. Mona Lisa is “a readable and affectionate my-search-for-story for art lovers and anyone interested in glorious and gory Florence in the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries, and in the divine Leonardo in particular…Hales’s assiduous research has made it possible for us to know Mona Lisa just a bit, enough to wonder if this otherwise ordinary Florentine housewife could ever have imagined her portrait enchanting millions for centuries” (USATODAY.com).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonardo da Vinci was one of history's true geniuses, equally brilliant as an artist, scientist, and mathematician. Readers of The Da Vinci Code were given a glimpse of the mysterious connections between math, science, and Leonardo's art. Math and the Mona Lisa picks up where The Da Vinci Code left off, illuminating Leonardo's life and work to uncover connections that, until now, have been known only to scholars. Bülent Atalay, a distinguished scientist and artist, examines the science and mathematics that underlie Leonardo's work, paying special attention to the proportions, patterns, shapes, and symmetries that scientists and mathematicians have also identified in nature. Following Leonardo's own unique model, Atalay searches for the internal dynamics of art and science, revealing to us the deep unity of the two cultures. He provides a broad overview of the development of science from the dawn of civilization to today's quantum mechanics. From this base of information, Atalay offers a fascinating view into Leonardo's restless intellect and modus operandi, allowing us to see the source of his ideas and to appreciate his art from a new perspective.

But Jack couldn't deny that the feisty beauty and her unborn child had pierced right through his armored heart. Funny thing—for a man who'd sworn off women, he found himself wanting to protect Lisa and her baby…today, tomorrow…forever.

Book excerpt: Buddy Moon is the first story in the Grove Series but stands alone well—happily ever after guaranteed. It’s a 62,500-word novel featuring Tom, an established big-city architect, and Lisa, a struggling artist in a small town, trying to break into the art world. Each story in the series features a different couple’s love story, but they are all set in the same small Texas town with a recurring cast of secondary and tertiary characters. While my Grove, Texas, is fictional, its geography is based on the real towns around Houston, the fourth largest city in the USA: Cypress, Friendswood, Humble, Katy, Kingwood, La Port, League City, Pasadena, Pearland, Spring, Sugarland, Tomball, Webster, and the Woodlands. All the other places I set my characters to, such as Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Corpus Christi, Galveston, Matagorda Bay, and Port Aransas are real. Houston and Texas are steeped in a unique history and culture, such as Texas was a country in itself before it became a state, and I use these aspects to flavor my stories. Tom Jeffreys is an established big-city architect, looking for lasting love. He is no longer interested in the one-night stands he has participated in the past. He is tired of those. He works for his father and is going on a buddy moon as the best man to his buddy, Mason, who is marrying Olive in Hawaii. A buddy moon is when eight couples go on a honeymoon, including the bridal couple. He meets Lisa, who is different from all the other girls he has dated, but he has a past he doesn’t want to share. He is instantly attracted to her. Lisa Collins is a struggling artist living in a small town. She is trying to break into the art world. She attended art school and is trying to make her art business pay for itself. She is shy because of what happened in high school but is struggling to change for the better—to no longer be so shy. She is going on the buddy moon to be the maid of honor for Olive, who is marrying Mason. They are going on a destination wedding in Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai. She meets Tom, who is unlike the boys of the past. She is promptly engrossed in him. Can Tom and Lisa trust each other enough to reveal their pasts and move into a future with each other? Or will their past keep them apart? The eight characters in the story will play prominent roles in future books. Watch for their names. Characters from former books will show up in future books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1975, Arthur F. Holmes published The Idea of a Christian College. At the time he could not have imagined his book would gather such a large following. This work's thoughtful yet accessible style made it a long-standing choice for reading lists on Christian college and university campuses across the country and around the world. Countless numbers of first-year students have read and discussed his book as part of their introduction to the Christian college experience. However, enough has changed since 1975 in both the Church and Academy to now merit a full-scale reexamination. In this book, Todd C. Ream and Perry L. Glanzer account for changes in how people view the Church and themselves as human agents, and propose a vision for the Christian college in light of the fact that so many Christian colleges now look and act more like research universities. Including topics such as the co-curricular, common worship, and diversity, Ream and Glanzer craft a vision that strives to see into the future by drawing on the riches of the past. First-year students as well as new faculty members and administrators will benefit from the insights in this book in ways previous generations benefitted from Arthur Holmes's efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current era of globalisation, big-C Culture loses analytical purchase. However, research, as well as intercultural training and education, continues to take for granted a more or less fixed idea of culture. This volume updates intercultural communication, both its theory and its application, by utilising a theory of scales in order to understand how culture gets contextualised as speakers communicate and negotiate meaning with each other. As succinctly captured in the title of this volume, it is suggested that research can ‘downscale culture’ analytically: culture might be, but also might not be, relevant in an interaction. The 14 chapters brought together here explore the possibilities of such downscaling from a wide range of core themes in intercultural communication studies and from various research traditions, including interactional sociolinguistics, critical geography, conversation analysis, critical discourse analysis, textual analysis, multimodal analysis and nexus analysis.
