With trembling fingers, I took the keys out of the ignition and slipped out of my car. ![]() It'd stripped me of what made me up pride, perseverance, and apparently, the ability to make good choices.īecause someone who made good choices wouldn't be taking a job from a man like Dex Locke. The knowledge that my bank account was bleeding a slow death had wrung me dry. Staying with Sonny.īeing broke had made me desperate. What in the hell were you thinking, Iris? My stomach churned at the same time nervous tears threatened to well up in my eyes. The white number on my dashboard clicked to 3:55. It wasn't going to be classy or snot-less, and I'd probably sound like a wheezing baboon. And exactly like my puking, it was going to be nasty. Nasty, projectile vomiting straight out of a horror movie.Īnd if that wasn ’t bad enough, immediately after throwing up all over the dashboard of my t welve -year-old Ford Focus, I was going to burst into tears. Foreboding.Īnd it wasn't going to be a pretty puke like when you're a baby and even farting can be considered cute. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her work has been featured online at Scary Mommy, In the Powder Room, The Huffington Post, Nickmom, Felicity Huffman’s What the Flicka?, The Quivering Pen, Multicultural Kid Blogs, and Artocratic, among others, and in the print publications Cloudbank, Idaho Magazine, The Idaho Statesman, Treasure Valley Family Magazine, Boise City Revue, and Folio Literary.

The text is still divided into three parts, but the material has been moved between chapters and the chapters themselves have been reorganized. However, it should always be borne in mind that much of the bulk arises from the numerous pedagogical features that we include (such as Worked examples, Checklists of key equations, and the Resource section), not necessarily from the density of information. Our goal is to keep the book flexible to use, accessible to students, broad in scope, and authoritative, without adding bulk. We have followed our usual tradition in that this new edition of the text is yet another thorough update of the content and its presentation.

Both of us ended up returning to a sort of quasi-academic environment whence we hurl occasional broadsides at the present representatives of our past lives. This proved a way of making a living but ultimately brought us both close to moral bankruptcy. We both spied some hope that there might be a place for intellect in the practical world of business and became management consultants. We share the disappointed aspirations of young academics who find that knowing more and more about less and less is the path down an intellectual black hole. Matthew Stewart is proof of my own replicability and confirms my own identity. So, paradoxically, when we have a near-double, we have an identity. Someone out there shares our experience and concerns. Then, bingo, we realise our membership in a class, a culture, a generation of more or less replicable people.

And there'll be new characters, too, from the street-level to the cosmic. There'll be popular characters of today, there'll be obscure characters from long ago - heck, there'll be story threads that take place in the past, or possibly the future. The heroes, the villains, the oddities - all of it. THE MARVELS features the marvels - all the many and varied characters of the Marvel Universe. It's a concept, or a universe, depending on how you look at it. It's a smorgasbord of Marvel heroes and history. THE MARVELS is intended as a freewheeling book that can go anywhere, do anything, use anyone.
