Restless Virgins Love, Sex, and Survival at a New England Prep School
pdf | 1.6 MB | English | Abigail Jones and Marissa Miley | 2009 | HarperCollins e-books; Reprint edition | Page: 339


About Restless Virgins Love, Sex, and Survival at a New England Prep School :

An honest, intimate look at the lives of today's teens-told through the true experiences of friends at a New England prep school
Established in 1798, Milton Academy has a proud history of achievement. It has educated artists and CEOs; it has produced a long line of distinguished scholars and dignitaries; and it has shepherded students through the world of high-pressure academics for generations. Since its founding, the public face of Milton had always been one of integrity and pride . . . until a sex scandal rocked the campus and made headlines in the spring of 2005. The offense? Teenagers doing no more than what others had done before them-except this time they got caught.
Restless Virgins is the riveting real-life story of a group of seniors who were there as the "incident" (as it came to be called) unfolded: Whitney, the athletic and sensual beauty every girl wants to be; Annie, who craves acceptance but is torn between the desire for peer approval and musical success; Jillian, the smart one who is sick of high school drama and desperate to go to college; and Reed, a "hockey god" who has it all but whose charisma masks a secret insecurity.
From "friends with benefits" to STDs, today's teens face a wider array of social and sexual opportunities-and pressures-than ever before. Through its eye-opening yet sensitive depiction of a group of normal kids with normal struggles, Restless Virgins offers an important look at contemporary adolescence no teen, parent, or educator can afford to miss. And it is written by two recent Milton graduates who know this world-and these students-like no others.

About Sergio Biological & Chemical Warfare in the Ancient World :

In this perfect match of author and subject, Pulitzer Prize-winner Samantha Power tackles the life of Sergio Vieira de Mello, whose work for the U.N. before his 2003 death in Iraq was emblematic of moral struggle on the global stage. Power has drawn on a staggering breadth of research (including 400 intervie) to show us a heroic figure and the conflicts he waded into, from Cambodia's Khmer Rouge to the slaughter in Bosnia to the war-torn Middle East.

Survival City Adventures Among the Ruins of Atomic America
pdf | 5.01 MB | English | Tom Vanderbilt | 2010 | University of Chicago Press | Page: 235


About Survival City Adventures Among the Ruins of Atomic America :

On the road to Survival City, Tom Vanderbilt maps the visible and invisible legacies of the cold war, exhuming the blueprints for the apocalypse we once envisioned and chronicling a time when we all lived at ground zero. In this road trip among ruined missile silos, atomic storage bunkers, and secret test sites, a lost battleground emerges amid the architecture of the 1950s, accompanied by Walter Cotten's stunning photographs. Survival City looks deep into the national soul, unearthing the dreams and fears that drove us during the latter half of the twentieth century.

"A crucial and dazzling book, masterful, and for me at least, intoxicating."-Dave Eggers

"A genuinely engaging book, perhaps because [Vanderbilt] is skillful at conveying his own sense of engagement to the reader."-Los Angeles Times

"A retracing of Dr. Strangelove as ordinary life."-Greil Marcus, Bookforum

Jerry is one of the few bright spots in Alec's otherwise troubled life.

About Murder on Charles Street :

Lady Katherine's happiness at her newfound independence is shattered by the death of her elderly neighbor, Doctor Gammon. The doctor had become a trusted friend and had confided in Katherine that something about a former patient's case had been bothering him. 

Was it any coincidence he'd ended up dead the very next day? 

Katherine doesn't think so, especially when she discovers the case files he'd been scrutinizing the night before his death seem to have disappeared. 

But with her maid Harriett focusing on the vile concoctions she makes for supper, her detecting partner Pru too wrapped up in her fiancee and upcoming wedding plans and her Bow Street runner friend Lyle embroiled in the official investigation, Lady Katherine has only one friend who seems interested in investigating - Captain Wayland.

Her father would have a fit if he knew Katherine was conferring on a case with the handsome Captain, but Lady Katherine will stop at nothing to bring her friend's killer to justice.

When the case takes a disturbing turn, even Wayland can't help, and Lady Katherine has only her wits - and her pug Emma - to relay on in order to prevent becoming the next victim.
