Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book tells the story of a professional problem-solving group that for more than 25 years has empowered its members by providing practical and emotional support. The objective of "Group," as Ellen Daniell and six other members call their bimonthly gatherings, is cooperation in a competitive world. And the objective of Every Other Thursday is to encourage those who feel isolated or stressed in a work or academic setting to consider the benefits of such a group-a group in which everyone is on your side. Each of the high-achieving individuals in Group (including members of the National Academy of Sciences, a senior scientist at a prestigious research institute, and university professors and administrators) has found the support of the others to be an essential part of her own success. Daniell provides detailed examples of how members help one another navigate career setbacks or other difficulties. She shows that group support, discussion, and application of common experience bring to light practical solutions and broader perspectives. In an inspirational conclusion, the author offers advice and practical guidelines for those who would like to establish a group of their own. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Todd Nelson and Tucker Thompson both know what it's like to feel abandoned, lonely, and afraid. Now in their early twenties, they are sharing an apartment, and working at The Other Team Sports Bar and Grill. Welcome to the best little gay bar in the Midwest, where mixology meets biology and it's pure chemistry. USA Today bestselling GLBT romance author Renee George, writing as G.R. George invites you to The Other Team Sports Bar and Grill, in Book 2 of The Other Team series. The Hot Toddy is a contemporary, gay romance that will keep you turning the pages. Tuck avoids hook-ups while Todd constantly indulges in one-night-stands. Watching Todd go through a string of conquests in their home is brutal on Tuck, who wants Todd all for himself. What he doesn't realize is that Todd has strong feelings for him, too. Tuck has always trusted Todd to have his back, but can he trust him with his heart? This GLBT short contemporary romance contains explicit male/male content and is not intended for readers under the age of 18. The Other Team series was originally called the CockTails series. Previously published: (2014) Renee George |
