"When you hire Nest, you are hiring 24-7, personalized attention to your every need. We will ensure that you have the best possible vacation while on Martha''s Vineyard." (Marketing brochure for Nest, a Bespoke Concierge) Back on the Island after a failed marriage, Remy Litchfield is struggling to launch her high-end concierge service. Her business plan is complete down to the fresh eggs provided courtesy of her very own flock of designer chickens. What she didn''t count on was the return of her high school crush, Jake Madden, or the suggestion by her impossibly handsome and wealthy client, Eli Wolff, that he is interested in having Remy do more than his shopping. With the help of an escaped dog and her gang of eccentric and loyal friends, Remy must find a way to balance all the demands of her new life. But will catering to the whims of her high-end clients leave time for anything else? Brimming with romance and humor, this novel from the author of "Goats in the Time of Love" brings a summer on Martha''s Vineyard to vivid life.

Motivated by a deeply rooted sense of place and community, Appalachian women have long fought against the damaging effects of industrialization. In this collection of interviews, sociologist Shannon Elizabeth Bell presents the voices of twelve Central Appalachian women, environmental justice activists fighting against mountaintop removal mining and its devastating effects on public health, regional ecology, and community well-being. Each woman narrates her own personal story of injustice and tells how that experience led her to activism. The interviews--many of them illustrated by the women''s "photostories"--describe obstacles, losses, and tragedies. But they also tell of new communities and personal transformations catalyzed through activism. Bell supplements each narrative with careful notes that aid the reader while amplifying the power and flow of the activists'' stories. Bell''s analysis outlines the relationship between Appalachian women''s activism and the gendered responsibilities they feel within their families and communities. Ultimately, Bell argues that these women draw upon a broader "protector identity" that both encompasses and extends the identity of motherhood that has often been associated with grassroots women''s activism. As protectors, the women challenge dominant Appalachian gender expectations and guard not only their families but also their homeplaces, their communities, their heritage, and the endangered mountains that surround them. 30% of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to organizations fighting for environmental justice in Central Appalachia.

Can an author''s preference for expressing modality be quantified and then used as a marker of attribution? This book explores the possibility of using the subjunctive mood as an indicator of style and a marker of authorship in Early Modern English texts. Using three works by the sixteenth-century biblical translator and polemicist, William Tyndale, Elizabeth Bell Canon establishes a predictable preference for certain types of modal expression. The theory of subjunctive use as a marker of attribution was then tested on the anonymous 1533 English translation of Erasmus'' Enchiridion Militis Christiani. Also included in this book is a modern English spelling version Tyndale''s The Parable of the Wicked Mammon.
