High school student Brandi struggles to rise above her troubled background and survive the trials of her teen years.

Billie and Susie brought home a puppy against their parents wishes. They named her Brandi. It became more and more difficult for the family to care for her, and with great sadness, they had to take her to the local animal shelter. This is Brandi's story as seen through her eyes.

This is a true story about the antics my dogs have put us through. Some were laughable while others were unbelievable. I had many dogs, but never two like Brandi and Muffin. I wondered if they maybe were possessed with the things that occurred. No one would believe me if I told them what they did, but I saw it with my own eyes. How two beautiful-looking dogs get into so much trouble is beyond me. Being mistreated and put up for adoption, we fell in love with them, but were we ever fooled because they were not the little angels that we thought they were, but devils in disguise.

He says they’re mates. She says they’re done. Agent Brandi Jenkins likes being a werewolf. It’s great to be stronger, smarter, and more sexual. It’s also great being part of a family group for the first time in her solitary life. As the Nano Wolves beta, she must protect the other women in her tiny pack. She can't stop until she learns the truth about who funded the crazy scientist who made them. Being a living science experiment is not easy, and it’s starting to shift her priorities. Sometimes the new awareness sucks too, like learning her former handler didn’t rescue her from Crazy Crane on purpose. Before she can leave her old job though, a new government apprehension group decides to blackmail her into working for them. She wants to kill a few backstabbers and leave for good, but she can’t. She has no choice except to take the freaking job. It’s the only way to save herself and her packmates from becoming government pets. What she can’t do though is ever forgive Gareth Longfeather. The deceptive, lying, manipulative Gray Wolf beta had almost convinced her he was a man she could love and trust. Gareth says they’re mates. She says they’re done.

This book traces the development of scientific conservation and technical art history. It takes as its starting point the final years of the nineteenth century, which saw the establishment of the first museum laboratory in Berlin, and ground-breaking international conferences on art history and conservation held in pre-World War I Germany. It follows the history of conservation and art history until the 1940s when, from the ruins of World War II, new institutions such as the Istituto Centrale del Restauro emerged, which would shape the post-war art and conservation world. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, conservation history, historiography, and history of science and humanities.
