But before you make up your mind about her, you should know that she has had a pretty awful (and eventful) past ten days. She has: lost her boyfriend (#13 on the boyfriend list), lost her best friend, lost all her other friends, did something suspicious with a boy (#10), did something advanced with a boy (#15), had an argument with a boy (#14), drank her first beer (someone handed it to her), got caught by her mom (ag!), had a panic attack (scary), lost a lacrosse game, failed a math test, hurt Meghan''s feelings, became a social outcast, and had graffiti written about her in the girls'' bathroom. But don''t worry, Ruby lives to tell the tale. Through a special assignment to list all the boys she''s ever had the slightest, little, any-kind-of-anything with, comes an unfortunate series of events that would be enough to send any girl in a panic.

Ah vraiment, les garçons sont des êtres bien étranges et difficiles à comprendre ! Si Gretchen avait le pouvoir de les observer en secret, rien qu''une fois...

Ruby Oliver se souviendra longtemps de l''année de ses quinze ans. En l''espace de dix jours, elle a perdu son petit copain, ses amies, sa santé mentale et sa réputation. Aujourd''hui, Ruby vient d''avoir seize ans. Elle entre en première. Elle a décroché son permis de conduire. Elle a trouvé un petit job au zoo de Woodland. Elle est même parvenue à renouer avec ses amis Noel et Nora. L''heure est venue de remettre un peu d''ordre dans sa vie. Mais y a-t-il vraiment une vie au-delà des murs du lycée ?

Ruby a quinze ans et un psy. Il faut dire qu''elle a vécu des moments difficiles, ces derniers temps. En effet, en dix jours, elle... ... a été abandonnée par son petit ami (le garçon n°13), ... a été abandonnée par sa meilleure amie, a été abandonnée par toutes ses autres amies, a appris des détails affreux sur la vie sexuelle de son ex-petit ami, . . . a fait un truc choquant et audacieux avec le garçon n°15, ... a bu sa première bière, ... s''est fait surprendre par sa mère, ... a échoué à un contrôle de maths, .. a fait de la peine à Melissa, .. est devenue une lépreuse, .. est devenue une célèbre allumeuse. Largement de quoi avoir quelques crises d''angoisse ! Mais pourquoi Ruby donne-t-elle des numéros aux garçons ? Pourquoi est-elle devenue une "lépreuse" et célèbre allumeuse ? La réponse est bien en plus compliquée qu''il n''y paraît... Drôle, décapant, profond !

Comment gâcher son existence en six étapes ? Ça n''a rien de sorcier. Si Ruby y est arrivée, tout le monde doit en être capable. Comme elle : Fais en sorte que ton premier petit ami te quitte pour ta meilleure amie. A 1''occasion, fâche-toi à mort avec cette dernière. A ce stade, tu devrais déjà être à ramasser à la petite cuiller. A présent, embrasse à nouveau ton ex-petit ami. Assure-toi que des témoins assistent à la scène. Bravo ! Tu as perdu toutes tes amies, car tu es devenue une allumeuse qui passe son temps à sortir avec les copains des autres. Attends que les. premières crises de panique se manifestent. Consulte un psy. Bien que Ruby Oliver entame sa trente-neuvième semaine de célibat, l''ensemble des élèves s''acharnent à la considérer comme la plus scandaleuse des allumeuses...

Findings of inverted-U relationships between income and certain types of pollution have generated considerable controversy, yet relatively little is known about the factors underlying these relationships. U.S. emissions of several major air pollutants have begun to decline, mirroring the trajectories found using data across countries and across time. This paper examines U.S. emissions of six air pollutants between 1970 and 1990, decomposing the observed changes into scale, composition, energy efficiency, energy mix, and other technique effects. Our results provide a case study of the relative importance of these effects for a country on the downward-sloping portions of its emissions trajectories for the pollutants we examine.
