The God Girl's Guide to College Life is a 21-Day Devotional written by bestselling author, Mya Kay. Many young women go off to college excited about embarking on a new journey. Today, these young women are battling with insecurities and identity issues like never before. Instead of turning to the world or social media for their answers, Mya encourages them to turn to Christ. Each prayer touches on a key area that Mya remembers struggling with during her college years, as well as things that she knows young women are faced with today. At the end of each prayer there's a reality check, which shares a story from Mya's college journey, scripture meditation, and reflection questions all designed to encourage young women to live for God no matter what. As a bonus, Mya includes a resource guide in the back that lists movies, television shows and music that are suitable for a Christian. There's also video challenges in the book! In her own down-to-earth storytelling fashion, Mya believes this devotional will help young women build deeper roots into their faith while pursuing their God-given purpose.

Wareham nestles along the coast of picturesque Buzzards Bay in southeastern Massachusetts. First visited by Native Americans who made it their summer home, the villages of Wareham and Onset were incorporated as the town of Wareham in 1739. The town's long and varied history includes the development of the salt, iron, shipping, and cranberry industries and the decades of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when the town provided an exciting resort destination. Many ethnic groups made Wareham their home, including the Cape Verdeans, who contributed to the development of the cranberry industry and brought the richness of their culture to the community.pWareham spans the years from the eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth century and includes images of important buildings, many of which no longer exist. The book depicts the numerous early villages for their unique flavor Tremont, Parker Mills, Lincoln Hill, and Swifts Beach in Wareham Agawam Village and Onset's many beaches and neighborhoods, such as the downtown village, Point Independence, and Wicket's Island. Wareham includes rare photographs of downtown Wareham, the Horseshoe Mill, and the Tremont Nail Company, as well as Onset's Victorian casinos and hotels that recall bygone days of seaside splendor.

p Though persistently overshadowed by the Great War in historical memory, the two Balkan conflicts of 1912-1913 were among the most consequential of the early twentieth century. By pitting the states of Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Montenegro against a diminished Ottoman Empire-and subsequently against one another-they anticipated many of the horrors of twentieth-century warfare even as they produced the tense regional politics that helped spark World War I. Bringing together an international group of scholars, this volume applies the social and cultural insights of the new military history to revisit this critical episode with a central focus on the experiences of both combatants and civilians during wartime.p

Between the early 1950s and the accelerated demolition and construction of Beijing's old city in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, the residents of Dashalar-one of the capital city's poorest neighborhoods and only a stone's throw from Tian'anmen Square-lived in dilapidated conditions without sanitation. Few had stable employment. Today, most of Dashalar's original inhabitants have been relocated, displaced by gentrification. In iBeijing from Belowi Harriet Evans captures the last gasps of subaltern life in Dashalar. Drawing on oral histories that reveal memories and experiences of several neighborhood families, she reflects on the relationships between individual, family, neighborhood, and the state poverty and precarity gender politics and ethical living and resistance to and accommodation of party-state authority. Evans contends that residents' assertion of belonging to their neighborhood signifies not a nostalgic clinging to the past, but a rejection of their marginalization and a desire for recognition. Foregrounding the experiences of the last of Dashalar's older denizens as key to understanding Beijing's recent history, Evans complicates official narratives of China's economic success while raising crucial questions about the place of the subaltern in history.

pPlatform trials test multiple therapies in one indication, one therapy for multiple indications, or both. These novel clinical trial designs can dramatically increase the cost-effectiveness of drug development, leading to life-altering medicines for people suffering from serious illnesses, possibly at lower cost. Currently, the cost of drug development is unsustainable. Furthermore, there are particular problems in rare diseases and small biomarker defined subsets in oncology, where the required sample sizes for traditional clinical trial designs may not be feasible. ppppThe editors recruited the key innovators in this domain. The 20 articles discuss trial designs from perspectives as diverse as quantum computing, patient's rights to information, and international health. ppppThe book begins with an overview of platform trials from multiple perspectives. It then describes impacts of platform trials on the pharmaceutical industry's key stakeholders patients, regulators, and payers. Next it provides advanced statistical methods that address multiple aspects of platform trials, before concluding with a pharmaceutical executive's perspective on platform trials. Except for the statistical methods section, only a basic qualitative knowledge of clinical trials is needed to appreciate the important concepts and novel ideas presented. ppp

'A dwarfish figure that resembled a monk with a gnarled and twisted face, holding out a bleeding arm from which the hand had been cut off at the wrist...''He saw in the clear moonlight a massive male figure standing under a tree, dressed entirely in black...'The ghostly little monk of Foulridge and the giant apparition from Heaton Norris are just two of the denizens of the North-West you might not care to meet on a dark, stormy evening. You would also be advised to avoid the Old Miser of Altrincham, the Timberbottom Farm Skulls, the Clayton Hall Boggart, and the Man in the Brown Pin-stripe Suit. It's certainly not a good idea to drive along the Hyde-Mottram road when the phantom lorry is about, and you should think twice before taking a taxi in Stockport - you never know who might be in the back seat with you. But for those intrepid sounds whose hearts quicken at the thought of eerie footsteps and muffled groans Peter Underwood - the President of the Ghost Club - has assembled an impressive collection of traditional legends and first-hand sightings of the white ladies, highwaymen, cavaliers, priests and nuns who form the spectral population of haunted Lancashire and Cheshire.

pbFrom one of America's sharpest conservative journalists is this searing, thought-provoking and hilarious takedown of the ruling class running amok in Washington.bpp These are your elected officials. Some are slyly taking advantage of the system. They are hoping no one is savvy enough to notice. But Matt Lewis has. And this is what he's learned. pp Today's politicians are an unsavory lot--a hybrid of plutocrats and hypocrites. And it's worse and more laughable than you can imagine. Lewis will introduce you to a crop of latte liberals, ivy league populists, insider traders, trust-fund babies, and swamp creatures as he exposes how truly ludicrous money in politics has gotten. pp In iFilthy Rich Politiciansi, Lewis embarks on an investigative deep dive into the ridiculous state of modern American democracy--a system where the rich get elected and the elected get rich. One of the brightest conservative writers of his generation, Lewis doesn't just complain he articulates how Americans can achieve accountability from their elected leaders through radically commonsense reforms. But many of these ruling-class elites have a vested financial interest in rejecting the reforms so desperately needed to rebuild Americans' trust in the institutions that once made our nation great. pp This is not an eat the rich kind of book, and it is not for those who want to stoke class warfare, topple the whole regime, and burn it all to the ground. This is a must-read book for thoughtful readers who yearn for transparency and will commit to holding their elected leaders accountable to those they are supposed to represent--we the people. pp The reforms spelled out in this book would incentivize good behavior in our leaders, stymie corruption, and prevent politicians from using the system and our taxpayer dollars to feather their filthy rich nests. pp It is only by taking these steps to reform the system that we can rebuild trust in our institut

Some forty of the eighty included poems have appeared in several publications, ranging from Christian Century to the New York Times.
