Almost. He has great friends, parents who love him just the way he is, and he was a champion hurdler until someone took out his knee when they kidnapped his boyfriend. Yet, Michael is determined to make the USATF tryouts in spite of his injuries. Christy Castle is Michael's entire world. Healing from years of abuse, his abduction by a predator has left him hiding a new secret as he tries to start his life again. Together, Michael and Christy work to recover from their wounds in time to make prom and graduate high school. To complicate matters, Christy is astonished to learn a fellow victim from his native Greece has survived. Christy will stop at nothing to bring him to the US to keep him safe. But the prosecution of Christy's kidnapper looms large in their futures and the struggle to return to normal only worsens. Christy's past continues to haunt them and, when the prosecution turns ugly and Christy's new life is torn apart, only their unrelenting courage and determination can save them from the nightmare that threatens to destroy their future together.FictionKennedy C.1435031BOOK9910156219403321Tharros3592269UNINA05604nam 2200505 450 991082014740332120200110014724.61-119-06380-91-119-06383-3(CKB)4330000000008268(MiAaPQ)EBC5216976(CaSebORM)9781119063810(EXLCZ)99433000000000826820180208h20182018 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierSustainable futures in the built environment to 2050 a foresight approach to construction and development /edited by Tim Dixon, Stuart Green and John Connaughton1st editionHoboken, New Jersey :Wiley Blackwell,2018.©20181 online resource (410 pages) illustrations1-119-06381-7 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Machine generated contents note: List of Contributors ix Notes on Contributors x Foreword xiv Preface xvii Acknowledgements xix Book Endorsements xx 1 Introduction: Foresight and Futures Studies in Construction and Development 1 Tim Dixon, John Connaughton and Stuart Green Part 1 Sustainability and the Built Environment 25 2 Climate Change, Resilience and the Built Environment 27 Janet F.

It deftly analyses how emerging socio-economic, technological, and environmental trends will influence the built environment of the future. The book covers a broad spectrum of interests across the scales of buildings, communities and cities, including how professional practice will need to adapt to these trends. The broader context is provided by an analysis of emergent business models and the changing requirements for expert advice from clients.
