The fake mate / by Ferguson, Lana,author.;
"Mackenzie Carter has had some very bad dates lately. Model train experts, mansplainers, guys weirdly obsessed with her tail-she hasn't had a successful date in months. Only a year out of residency, her grandmother's obsession with Mackenzie finding the perfect mate to settle down with threatens to drive Mackenzie barking mad. Out of options, it feels like a small thing to tell her grandmother that she's met someone. That is, until she blurts out the name of the first man she sees and the last man she would ever date: Noah Taylor, the big bad wolf of Denver General. Noah Taylor, interventional cardiologist and all around grump, has spent his entire life hiding what he is. With outdated stigmas surrounding unmated alphas that have people wondering if they still howl at the moon, Noah has been careful to keep his designation under wraps. It's worked for years, until an anonymous tip has everything coming to light. Noah is left with two options: come clean to the board and risk his career--or find himself a mate. The chatty, overly friendly ER doctor asking him to be her fake boyfriend on the same day he's called to meet the board has to be kismet, right? Mackenzie will keep her grandmother off her back, and Nate will get a chance to prove he can continue to work without a real mate--a mutually beneficial business transaction, they both rationalize. But when the fake-mate act turns into a very real friends-with-benefits arrangement, lines start to blur, and they quickly realize love is a whole different kind of animal"--

Davis.The Endangered Species Act at Thirty is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary review of issues surrounding the Endangered Species Act, with a specific focus on the act's actual implementation record over the past thirty years. The result of a unique, multi-year collaboration among stakeholder groups from across the political spectrum, the two volumes offer a dispassionate consideration of a highly polarized topic. Renewing the Conservation Promise, Volume 1, puts the reader in a better position to make informed decisions about future directions in biodiversity conservation by elevating the policy debate from its current state of divisive polemics to a more-constructive analysis. It helps the reader understand how the Endangered Species Act has been implemented, the consequences of that implementation, and how the act could be changed to better serve the needs of both the species it is designed to protect and the people who must live within its mandates. Volume 2 examines philosophical, biological, and economic dimensions of the act in greater detail.

Dismantling mass incarceration : a handbook for change / by Dharia, Premaleditor(CARDINAL)895041; Forman, James,1967-editor(CARDINAL)345970; Hawilo, Mariaeditor(CARDINAL)895040;
Includes bibliographical references."America's criminal justice system perpetuates profound social and racial harms. But despite growing recognition of its destructiveness, the vast machinery of the carceral state remains very much intact. How can its damage be undone? In this pathbreaking reader, three of the nation's leading advocates for change--Premal Dharia, Maria Hawilo, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author James Forman Jr.--provide us with tools to move from critique to action and from despair to hope. Dismantling Mass Incarceration surveys various approaches to confronting the carceral state, exploring a wide range of bold but practical interventions. Rather than prescribing solutions, the book offers a forum for discussions--and disagreements--about how the work of police, prosecutors, public defenders, judges, and prisons can be reformed, rethought, or even abolished. The books contributors include noted figured such as Angela Y. David, Clint Smith, and Larry Krasner, as well as local organizers, scholars, lawyers, judges, and people who have been incarcerated. Dismantling Mass Incarceration is an invaluable guide for anyone who wishes to understand America's cultire of punishment--and hasten its end." --Back cover.
