From absurd 911 calls to presidential philosophizing and foolish felons, Leland Gregory generates the best laughs by exposing the worst of human nature. Following up his New York Times best-selling Stupid American History, Gregory sets his sights on the holidays as he exposes mind-numbing mistletoe maladies in Stupid Christmas: Idiots under the Mistletoe. Perhaps it's the spiked eggnog or the multiple family members gathered around crazy-colored, twinkly lights, but the holidays are rife with idiocy by the daft and the dumb. Inside this latest collection, Gregory offers more than 200 accounts of holiday-induced stupidity, including: * While smoke billowed out of the store, firefighters had to physically restrain enthusiastic shoppers from entering a Great Lakes Mall store during an electrical fire. * In 1995, officials debated over whom to invite to the city's Christmas tree ceremony: President Bill Clinton or the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. * As a joke, Andrew Jackson sent formal invitations to his Christmas ball to a well-known mother-and-daughter prostitute team in Salisbury, North Carolina.

The sexy story of cop who will risk anything for the woman he comes to love in this beloved classic from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster. Judd Sanders couldn’t believe it when the beautiful, wide-eyed woman he’d rescued from some drunk hoodlums started poking her gorgeous little nose into his business. She was obviously a menace to herself—not to mention to his peace of mind. Worse, she’d blow his cover. For little did Emily Cooper know that Judd was really a cop—whose feelings for Emily left him a little too uncovered for his liking. Originally published in 1997.

Twelve days and counting... It's Bea's first Christmas with her baby son, and this year she's determined to do everything right. But there is still so much to do: the Christmas menu needs refining; her café, The Honey Pot, needs decorating; and she's invited the whole neighbourhood to a party on Christmas Day. She really doesn't have time to get involved in two new people's lives, let alone fall in love... When Olivia gets knocked over in the street, however, Bea can't help bringing her into The Honey Pot and getting to know her. Olivia's life is even more hectic than her own, and with her fiancé's entire family over from Ireland for Christmas, she shouldn't be lingering in the cosy warmth of Bea's café. Chloe, on the other hand, has nowhere else to go. Her affair with a married man has alienated her friends, and left her lonelier than ever. But Christmas is a magical time, and in the fragrant atmosphere of The Honey Pot, anything can happen: new friends can be made, hearts can heal, and romance can finally blossom...

In No Guarantees, Jennifer Jamieson Woods spins a tale of love, loss, and redemption. From a small town in Ontario, Canada, young Josephine Duckworth follows her sister to Anchorage, Alaska. It is the oil boom of the 1970s, when the men outnumber the women four to one. She falls in love with a true Alaskan man. She moves in with him into his cabin in the woods. After they spend two weeks snowed in, she realizes she is pregnant. Although he wants her to have an abortion, she is unwilling. When things go terribly wrong with her pregnancy, she begins a downward spiral that takes her to the depths of despair. She finds work that fills her soul but loses her job due to her excessive drinking. A woman in her life sees her potential, cuts her no slack, but at the same time helps to set her on a path that will lead to positive change in her life. A move takes the character Josie to Bellingham, Washington, where she finds the solution for her drinking problem as well as a means of gaining closure over her loss. You'll laugh; you'll cry along with Josie as she comes of age and confronts her tragic experience. Her perseverance comes through as she tries to make heads and tails of her big ordeal. Eventually she learns that there are no guarantees in life.

In Hospital Land USA, Wendy Simonds analyzes the wide-reaching powers of medicalization: the dynamic processes by which medical authorities, institutions, and ideologies impact our everyday experiences, culture, and social life. Simonds documents her own Hospital Land adventures and draws on a wide range of U.S. cultural representations — from memoirs to medical mail, from hospital signs to disaster movies — in order to urge critical thinking about conventional notions of care, health, embodiment, identity, suffering, and mortality. This book is intended for general readers, medical practitioners, undergraduate and graduate students in courses on medical sociology, medicine, medical ethics, nursing, public health, carework, visual culture, cultural studies, and gerontology.
