Trust--verb: to believe in the reliability, truth, or strength of another. Up until now Logan Mitchell has never had much of a reason to trust anyone. Having struggled with a self-identity crisis throughout college, he's spent the years since then creating a sophisticated facade to present to the world. It's an armor he thinks is impenetrable--until he meets Tate Morrison. The gorgeous, headstrong bartender he sat across from only months ago has taken a tight hold of his heart, and Logan is discovering that it's time to let go. It's time to let someone inside. After years of placing his dreams on hold for his family, Tate has finally chosen to do what makes him happy and follow his heart. The one thing he never would've imagined was that it would lead him into the arms of a man--and not just any man but the striking, never-takes-no-for-an-answer Logan Mitchell. Tate has fallen hard. And as his world is turned on its axis and they move forward together, he finds ...

Choosing a partner is one of the most consequential and tricky decisions we will ever make. The cost of repeated failure is immense. And yet we are often so alone with the search.

Born in 1942, Narcissus Quagliata studied painting and graphics in Rome and completed his studies at the Art Institute of San Francisco. Very early on, he discovered glass as the most suitable material with which to express himself artistically, focussing in particular on the phenomenon of light and its interplay with coloured glass. In cooperation with industry, Quagliata experimented at an early stage with the development of new forms and applications of glass. Today Narcissus Quagliata is considered one of the most significant glass artists, drawing worldwide attention through his spectacular works in public spaces, such as the Taiwan Dome of Light, the largest illuminated glass ceiling in the world, which forms the roof of the subway station in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The construction stretches across an approximately 30-metre-wide space. His glass dome in the Santa Maria degli Angeli church, built by Michelangelo within the Baths of Diocletian in Rome, is equally well-known. It provide...

Give and Take looks at local drug manufacturing in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, from the early 1980s to the present, to understand the impact of foreign aid on industrial development. While foreign aid has been attacked by critics as wasteful, counterproductive, or exploitative, Nitsan Chorev makes a clear case for the effectiveness of what she terms "developmental foreign aid." Against the backdrop of Africa's pursuit of economic self-sufficiency, the battle against AIDS and malaria, and bitter negotiations over affordable drugs, Chorev offers an important corrective to popular views on foreign aid and development. She shows that when foreign aid has provided markets, monitoring, and mentoring, it has supported the emergence and upgrading of local production. In instances where donors were willing to procure local drugs, they created new markets that gave local entrepreneurs an incentive to produce new types of drugs. In turn, when donors enforced exacting standards as a...

With diplomacy unravelling during summer 1914, Germany swept into Belgium in an audacious attempt to catch France and England off-guard. First contemplated after the Franco-Prussian War, the Schlieffen Plan was designed to keep Germany from fighting on two fronts. With a quick and decisive victory over France and its allies to the west, Germany could then confront Russia to the east. Despite the surprise of Germany's initial advance, the plan ultimately failed due to lack of troop mobility - something that would have to await the mechanized blitzkrieg of WWII. What followed was a stalemate and the beginning of four long years of destructive trench warfare that would only be lifted in 1918. In "The Campaign for the Marne", the entire genesis of the Schlieffen Plan, its modification, implementation, and the complex series of gruelling battles that followed is laid out with the intent to make the entire episode comprehensible to the general reader. ...
