Описание: In Just the Three of Us: An Erotic Romantic Comedy for the Commitment-Challenged, we learned the story of Sam and Kathy and Ted, three good friends who become even better lovers. Now find out what happens to the author when her real-life inspirations read her book...This paperback edition contains both parts of The Other Three of Us, books 2 and 3 in The Three of Us trilogy.Excerpt: Sam closed the slider behind us as we all retreated back into the room. It stood directly before us now, the last stop on the tour: a California king-sized bed, extra-long and extra-wide, almost as if it had been intended for three. In silence we all stared at it, its sheets so crisp and clean, its comforter so smooth and neatly applied, its three pillows so precisely lined up across its top side. This was the place, I thought as I ran my fingers over the cloth. This was where it would finally happen.I turned and caught a glimpse of Ted's face, calm and staid as always, his thoughts concealed by his ongoing silence. He'd hardly spoken since I'd been here, and I wondered what he was thinking. There was nothing in his facial expression to give it away."Well, um, I guess that's it," Sam mumbled, like a museum tour guide who doesn't know how politely to tell the loitering guests to go home. "You can, um... You can put your beer down here if you want." He took my glass and set it hurriedly down on the nightstand. Suddenly he seemed to be in a terrible rush. He was folding back the edge of the comforter while simultaneously fluffing the pillows; I half expected to see feathers flying."And I guess..." - he drew back the edge of the sheet and flattened it with his hand - "I guess you two should go ahead and get started, and then you can, um... let me know when you're done " He hesitated only a second, then turned on his heel and began marching purposefully across the big room."Wait, Sam " I called out in alarm, my voice echoing off the ceiling like a police siren in a crowded downtown. "Where are you going?""Not far, not far " he assured me, turning around in a circle to face us briefly again. "I'll be right here in the bathroom. Take your time "He shot us an exaggerated wink, vanished into the dark red room, and clicked the door shut.Slowly, deliberately, I turned towards Ted. He was standing with his arms folded, his hand over his mouth as if he were covering up either a frown or a grin - I couldn't tell which."This isn't exactly what I was expecting," I said, searching his eyes for some clue that I was right to be bewildered."I'm sure it wasn't," he agreed. I looked down at the exposed sheet and caught a glimpse of something pink. I peeled it back further, recoiling in horror."Are those rose petals?" I squeaked."Sam's idea," Ted said, his lips twitching.I stood dumbstruck. Here I was, on the verge of what I'd thought was going to be the greatest night of my life, and I didn't have even the slightest desire to get naked.Ted cleared his throat audibly."Shall we get started?" He gestured towards the flower-filled bed."Uh... I'm not sure I can do this on demand," I said. This was all just too weird. Here's the man, here's the bed; take one of each and call me if you still feel sick in the morning?"Sure you can," he said, clasping his long arms over my backside."No, I mean - I don't think I feel like it right now.""You will," he assured me. He swept his hands down over my ass, then lifted up my still-damp skirt and got underneath. "Mmmm," I purred involuntarily."Told ya." His fingers were probing the edges of my undies, and as he shifted me sideways down onto the bed, the bathroom door reappeared within my view. Like an anvil on a cartoon character's head, the realization hit me so hard and fast I saw stars. Maybe Sam wasn't out here, but he was in there, right there in the bathroom. Only feet from me and Ted, my other boyfriend was patiently waiting his turn.

How has great progress in the science of medicine over two centuries of research changed the way it is accepted and practiced today? Or has it?
Vienna. Fifty years before the discovery of microbes and 175 years before the present day Covid-19 endemic, it is the "mecca" of medicine in the world. But its famous medical school is also a cauldron of politics and intrigue that resists progress. Based on a fictional account of the true story, with actual characters, a young obstetrician in training confronts the university hospital's vast maternity ward that is teeming with the city's abandoned and destitute women in labor. He is stunned to find that one-third of them will never make it out of the hospital alive, meeting horrific deaths in labor and delivery. But nobody has much cared. It has just been that way for many years. The young doctor defies orders to not meddle in this matter, and makes an unexpected, earth-shaking discovery about the cause of the deaths. As he struggles to find a way to prevent this carnage of women and their babies, his results are discredited by an arrogant, imperious and anti-science medical establishment. The outcast young physician is progressively persecuted until he meets an untimely and mysterious death. Why and how can he be vindicated?

Описание: This book is an exploration of the syntax of external arguments in transitivity alternations from a cross-linguistic perspective. It uses data principally from English, German, and Greek to investigate the causative/anti-causative alternation and the formation of adjectival participles.
By exploring how children and their families became unprecedented objects of governmental policy in the early decades of France's Third Republic, Sylvia Schafer offers a fresh perspective on the self-fashioning of a new governmental order. In the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War, social reformers claimed that children were increasingly the victims of their parents' immorality. Schafer examines how government officials codified these claims in the period between 1871 and 1914 and made the moral status of the family the focus of new kinds of legislative, juridical, and administrative action. Although the debate on moral danger in the family helped to articulate the young republic's claim to moral authority in the metaphors of parenthood, the definition of "moral endangerment" remained ambiguous. Schafer shows how public authorities reshaped their agenda and varied their remedies as their schemes for protecting morally endangered children broke down under the enduring weight of this ambiguity.
Drawing on insights from feminist theory, literary studies, and the work of Michel Foucault, Schafer reveals the cultural complexity of civil justice and social administration in both their formal and everyday incarnations. In demonstrating the centrality of ambivalence as a condition of liberal government and governmental representations, she fundamentally recasts the history of the early Third Republic and, more widely, issues a powerful challenge to conventional views of the modern state and its history.

How will law, regulation and ethics govern a future of fast-changing technologies? Bringing together cutting-edge authors from academia, legal practice and the technology industry, Future Law explores and leverages the power of human imagination in understanding, critiquing and improving the legal responses to technological change. It focuses on the practical difficulties of applying law, policy and ethical structures to emergent technologies both now and in the future. It covers crucial current issues such as big data ethics, ubiquitous surveillance and the Internet of Things, and disruptive technologies such as autonomous vehicles, DIY genetics and robot agents. By using examples from popular culture such as books, films, TV and Instagram – including 'Black Mirror', 'Disney Princesses', 'Star Wars', 'Doctor Who' and 'Rick and Morty' – it brings hypothetical examples to life. And it asks where law might go next and to regulate new-phase technology such as artificial intelligence, ‘smart homes’ and automated emotion recognition.

In this book, Stefanie Schafer provides the first study of the Yankee’s many facets. Reading together Yankee Doodle, Brother Jonathan, Uncle Sam, the Yankee Peddler and the Down Easter, she highlights the Yankee’s ambiguity: His performance hinges on storytelling and fraudulence. An invention of transatlantic origin, the Yankee straddles regional and sectional, rural and urban, working class and bourgeois US identities. For nineteenth-century audiences at home and abroad, he becomes the hegemonic embodiment of US national character, its political and material culture and the homespun agent of its imperial fantasies.
