Noted scholar Lois Weis first visited the town of "Freeway" in her 1990 book, Working Class Without Work. In that book we met the students and teachers of Freeway's high school to understand how these working-class folks made sense of their lives. Now, fifteen years later, Weis has gone back to Freeway for Class Reunion. This time her focus is on the now grown-up students who are, for the most part, still working class and now struggling to survive the challenges of the global economy. Class Reunion is a rare and valuable longitudinal ethnographic study that provides powerful, provocative insight into how the lives of these men and women have changed over the last two decades--and what their prospects might be for the future.

If you are among the growing number of families in which adults with grown children have remarried later in life, you are probably familiar with the conflicts and complicated emotional dynamics that can result. Parents expect that remarrying will be easier because the children are grown up. But the reality is that these remarriages can cause painful struggles between parents and their adult children. Based on in-depth research by a psychiatrist and a sociologist, Step Wars trains a revealing lens on the sources of these conflicts and teaches the skills required to manage them. Topics include: * Your Children and Mine: Can They Ever Become Ours? * What Will Happen to the "Family Home"? * Who Should Inherit My Property? Managing Financial Conflict Between Generations * Health and Illness: Thank Heaven the Caretaker Is on Duty * The Grandchildren: Pawns or Bridges? Written for both the couple getting married as well as their adult children, Step Wars is a road map for happily surviving remarriage later in life.

New York Times bestselling leadsinger of Slipknot and Stone Sour's hilarious trawl through the endless backwaters of human stupidity Corey Taylor has had it. Had it with the vagaries of human behavior and life in this postmodern digital blanked-out waiting room that passes for a world. Reality TV, awful music, terrible drivers, megamalls, airports, family reunions, bad fashion choices, other people's monstrous children, and badly-behaved "adult" human beings are warping life in the twenty-first century into an often-unbearable endurance test of one's patience, fortitude, and faith. You're Making Me Hate You is a blisteringly funny diatribe that skewers the worst aspects of human behavior with a knowing eye for every excruciating detail, told in the vivid way that only Corey Taylor can. Like his previous bestselling forays, You're Making Me Hate You is an unflinching glimpse into the mind of Corey Taylor, who spares no one from his seething gaze. Make no mistake: this is not the Corey Taylor you run into at meet-and-greets or in line at the coffee shop. This is not the kind and cuddly guy who kisses babies and takes pictures with your mom while leaving a voicemail for that distant cousin in college. This is not the loveable scamp who can poke just as much fun at himself as he does at the various rubes around him, though to be fair he does save one chapter for a brutal and lacerating self-analysis. This is Corey Motherfucking Taylor. This is the Great Big Mouth. This is that bastard you wonder about when you listen to Slipknot and Stone Sour. Funny, profane, blasphemous, and above all right on target, You're Making Me Hate You is pure Corey Taylor unleashed, exposing the underbelly of human depravity in all its ragged glory.

Apostle Sharon Loving Ruff unashamedly details her amazing true life odyssey as she evolves from dungeons of shame, rejection and depression to the birthing of a profound new reality of joy, peace, happiness and purpose in fulfilling God's chosen destiny. This book charts her remarkable supernatural survival after her mother aborted her, and her quest for acceptance and purpose after multiple sexual abuses before age five, suicidal attempts, rapes, teen pregnancy and being a high school dropout. These obstacles to success, as well as, two failed marriages and single parenting however did not prevent a forward movement toward her destiny. After reaching adulthood, she achieved a General Education Diploma certificate, graduated from American University and reached pinnacles of success she thought never possible for "someone like her." Then, by age 35, once again, her life was filled with depression and despair, and she decided to agree with the voices in her head suggesting suicide to end her pain. At that very moment, her choice threatened her divine destiny and instantly, she was propelled into an encounter with the Almighty God where she heard Him audibly pronounce, "I am your Heavenly Father and everything will be alright." Her life immediately took on new meaning and she was never the same. This book shares gold nuggets of truth from 27 years of intimacy with God, awesome experiences and supernatural encounters obtained while serving as an evangelist, teacher and prophet. Within these pages is a bountiful harvest of revelation knowledge, keys to unlock mysteries, strategies for spiritual growth and development, rules of engaging in spiritual warfare, and so much more.
