African American, Creole, and Other Vernacular Englishes in Education
More than 50 years of scholarly attention to the intersection of language and education have resulted in a rich body of literature on the role of vernacular language varieties in the classroom. This field of work can be bewildering in its size and variety, drawing as it does on the diverse methods, theories, and research paradigms of fields such as sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, psychology, and education. Compiling most of the publications from the past half century that deal with this critical topic, this volume includes more than 1600 references (books, articles in journals or books, and web-accessible dissertations and other works) on education in relation to African American Vern...
Between Lies and Lust
Between Lies and Lust He's her arrogant, demanding boss. She's the one woman who dares to challenge him. But when one little lie turns into a scandalous fake relationship, neither of them can play pretend for long. Christian is used to being in control—of his empire, his image, and everyone around him. Cold, ruthless, and impossibly handsome, he doesn't tolerate mistakes… or emotions. Especially not from the fiery secretary who seems determined to drive him insane. Stella has survived worse than a bad-tempered billionaire. Smart, stubborn, and breathtakingly beautiful, she refuses to bow to Christian's moods—or his rules. But when a reckless lie forces her to show up at a family party with a "boyfriend," she never expects her former boss to step into the role. Now they're trapped in a dangerous game of appearances, desire, and denial. Each touch feels too real. Each kiss crosses another line. And the deeper they go, the harder it becomes to remember what's fake. Because between lies and lust, the only truth left… is how much they want each other.
