Yawning is a stereotyped phylogenetically ancient phenomenon that occurs in almost all vertebrates. As an emotional behavior and an expressive movement, yawning has many consequences; nevertheless, it has so far been poorly addressed in medical research and practice. Bringing together the latest research from many fields, this volume integrates current insights within embryology, ethology, neurophysiology, psychology, fMRI and pathology. The phylogenetic and ontogenetic aspects of yawning offer an interesting perspective on human development, and its occurrence in neurological diseases - an area explored by only a few investigators - may provide useful clinical information. This book will make valuable and fascinating reading to neurologists, sleep specialists, psychologists, ethologists and pharmacologists, as well as to anybody interested in uncovering the mystery of yawning.

The Soldier’s Wedding After returning from Afghanistan, Special Forces veteran Dan has only one mission: to persuade Jo to become his wife. Can he prove to his best friend that they can create a love story for the ages? Jo has only thought of Dan romantically once; the night before a surgery that changed her life. Friendship is all she has to offer as she struggles to care for her grandmother and save her business. Except the new way he sees her is becoming dangerously addictive... Desert Island Keeper—Allaboutromance The Rescue Mission Viv Jansen's creative solutions work well as an international costume designer, not so well as her family's black sheep. But she's going to save the day—if only her brother's military buddy Ross will move his disapproving Alpha-ness out of the way and help! Chaos theory has always been her modus operandi but falling for the enemy—a guy whose friends call him Iceman—could be the most dangerous thing she's ever done. Bring Him Home When Nate discovers Claire can't forgive her late husband for breaking a crucial promise, he sees his path to salvation. He'll be his buddy’s advocate and secure Steve's place in his wife's memory. The last thing he intends is to find himself in a love triangle with his dead best friend.

Love is rekindle and a cold Montana Christmas becomes a second chance for two star-crossed lovers. Eight years after Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder destroyed his marriage and nearly took his life, all ex-Marine Colton Ritter has left are summers with his son and his family’s sprawling ranch, the Lucky Jack. When his father dies and leaves the ranch’s future in the hands of Colton’s estranged wife, Lauren, Colton knows he has one chance at saving everything he holds dear. Loving the cowboy was never the problem. Learning to live with the soldier who returned from war was, so the stipulation of her father-in-law’s will is nothing short of insanity. But living at the ranch for a year may be the only way she can save her son’s inheritance from being auctioned off to the highest bidder. Like the five generations before him, the Lucky Jack is in Colton’s blood, and Lauren knows he’ll do anything to protect it even if it means breaking her heart again. contemporary western romance, Cowboy romance, western romance, military romance, Crossfire Canyon series, second chance romance, steamy romance

The second novel in Nuruddin Farah's Blood in the Sun trilogy, Gifts is the beguiling tale of a Somali family and the struggles of its powerful matriarch to keep it whole. Duniya is a single mother, raising twins while working as a nurse in a Mogadiscio hospital. Her self-sufficient world is rocked when her rebellious daughter brings home a mysterious foundling infant. And when Duniya accepts a ride to work from a wealthy, romantically interested family friend, her whole life is turned upside down. Meanwhile, the hospital where she works is besieged by a desperate population ravaged by war, drought, disease, and famine. Western relief agencies have invaded Somalia with their charity, and some Somalis chafe at tainted goods and the burden of debts they can never hope to repay. With lyrical, luxuriant prose, Farah weaves a spellbinding tapestry of reportage, dreams, memory, folktales, and family lore. In his hands, Duniya's tale becomes emblematic of the struggles of an entire people.

Marissa Rotherhild has a husband in mind, but when she attends a weekend party at his home, Abbey Thorne Manor, it is not George who is there to greet her, but his older brother Valentine.

And yet he can’t seem to help it. She is too good for George. In fact the only person who should possess her is Valentine himself, despite all of his arguments against it. But when she joins him on his rose-finding quest, it feels as if they were made for each other. Now they just need to discover who is threatening to harm them.
