As clinical as it sounds to express the value of human lives, health, or the environment in cold dollars and cents, cost-benefit analysis requires it. More disturbingly, this approach is being embraced by a growing number of politicians and conservative pundits as the most reasonable way to make many policy decisions regarding public health and the environment. By systematically refuting the economic algorithms and illogical assumptions that cost-benefit analysts flaunt as fact, Priceless tells a ''gripping story about how solid science has been shoved to the backburner by bean counters with ideological blinders'' (In These Times). Ackerman and Heinzerling argue that decisions about health and safety should be made ''to reflect not economists' numbers, but democratic values, chosen on moral grounds. This is a vividly written book, punctuated by striking analogies, a good deal of outrage, and a nice dose of humor'' (Cass Sunstein, The New Republic). Essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of human health and environmental protection, Priceless ''shines a bright light on obstacles that stand in the way of good government decisions''.

Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. The vampire Wulfe is missing. Since he’s deadly, possibly insane, and his current idea of “fun” is stalking me, some may see it as no great loss. But, warned that his disappearance might bring down the carefully constructed alliances that keep our pack safe, my mate and I must find Wulfe—and hope he’s still alive. As alive as a vampire can be, anyway. But Wulfe isn’t the only one who has disappeared. And now there are bodies, too. Has the Harvester returned to the Tri-Cities, reaping souls with his cursed sickle? Or is he just a character from a B horror movie and our enemy is someone else? The farther I follow Wulfe’s trail, the more twisted—and darker—the path becomes. I need to figure out what’s going on before the next body on the ground is mine.

The author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel pens “the happiest, saddest, funniest, most perceptive truth about growing up since The Catcher in the Rye” (Over 21). Laura and Claire Jenkins were born just a few years apart, but they’re as different as night and day. Sensible, level-headed Claire has settled into her teaching job in London, sharing an apartment with two other girls, while free-spirited Laura starts her first year at university, where she sets about to find herself—no matter where that may lead . . . Soon Claire falls for a man who may not set the world on fire, but offers her the stability she craves. Laura, always the rebel, moves out of the dorms and into a relationship with a frustrated artist-turned–bus conductor. But as Claire begins to question her motives and Laura’s bohemian life begins to lose its charm, the sisters start to realize that they may be more alike than they thought. And that’s not such a bad thing when it comes to family, sisterhood, and growing up. “Assured and successful. . . . Altogether a most satisfying and intelligent first novel.” —Financial Times “Sensitive and humorous.” —Daily Express “A delightful story of young love.” —The Times (London) “It is thrilling to find a writer who could capture our world, and our emotions, so accurately.” —Wellington Evening Post “Warm and witty . . . family life most achingly bared.” —New Statesman

Now that my ex is no longer in the picture, his friends are going to share me. Kaci: My ex and I broke up, but it was on good terms. As a result, when two of his friends approach me for some hot times, who am I to say no? After all, Hunter and Brent are gorgeous. The pair are aspiring professional athletes with broad shoulders, six pack abs, and best of all, two huge anacondas that go down to the knee. Past the knee, if I’m being honest. Even better, Hunter and Brent come to my party bearing gifts. We went into the bedroom … Where I undid the filmy ribbon on the box… … revealing something naughty inside! Soon, we were using the dirty item while moaning up a storm. In fact, our friends said we could have woken the dead with all the grunts and panting, not to mention the rhythmic banging on the wall. Most girls would be embarrassed. Most girls would blush and try to deny everything, but not me because I’m Kaci Stott, and I was born to be a bad girl. But can our menage last when Hunter and Brent find out the truth about my family? After all, I’m a naughty woman who walks on the wild side, but what happens when my lovers discover that my dad is running a HAREM of young, nubile women? And that he wants ME to join? This story is a follow-up to Taking His Punishment. Sanctuary Church isn't like any other religious organization out there, so in this story, you know that things are only going from HOT to HOTTER! Now, it’s time for some steamy MFM romance with two irresistible alpha males who appreciate what a saucy woman brings to the table. But the issue is that Kaci gets a serving of spice along with her sauce, and soon, things have gone totally off the rails when it comes to Kaci's dad and his harem of young, impressionable women who don't know any better. As always, these stories are totally off the reservation because let's face it - we like them that way :) Be sure to bring a tall glass of iced tea because you’ll be hot, sweaty, and panting by the end. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and always a HEA for my readers.
