In a bible belt midwestern town where corporal punishment was seen as positive parenting, Michael Grossman's teachers sent him to see a Freudian psychoanalyst at age 7 -- the first in a parade of therapies that would include Rogerian bear-hugs, Gestalt dream analysis, Rolfing, Bioenergetics and even LSD. Sitting beside the author on a succession of "shrink's" couches the reader follows his progress through one defense after another until he finally achieves a joyful capacity to care for others. Untangling the complex, sometimes abusive family relationships that enmeshed his Midwestern boyhood in the mid-20th century, the author finally uncovers fundamental truths that lead to a profound transformation. By turns funny, poignant and shocking, Shrinkwrapped is a story of hope, of growing insight and ultimately of love reborn.
Jordan Winston and her friend Sandra are small business owners from Ohio who are in Mexico for a much-needed vacation when a shrink-wrapped bale of what appears to be marijuana washes up at their feet on a private beach. The two women, thinking no one is watching, take it--and set off a wave of events and consequences that they could never have imagined. Now Mexican drug runners are after them--even if they are accident-prone, bumbling, underachieving wannabes. Jordan and Sandra hire a sailboat and a captain to take them--and their package--from Mexico to Key West, the drug runners attempt to kill them and sink the boat. After they are saved by their handsome captain, Tom-- who also happens to be a rogue DEA agent--he takes them to hide out in his secluded cabin. But when a drug cartel informant becomes a crocodile's lunch and Jordan's cat is murdered back home, their sleuthing group suddenly grows as an Indian medicine man and a couple of senior citizens join up to help them battle the drug runners. Amid gun battles, jail breaks, and chicken attacks, love blooms. In this zany adventure, only time will tell if this strange group can triumph. One thing is certain, though: they won't go down without a fight.
This book is a collection of the wisdom gained from 30 years of working as a Christian counselor. Many people struggle with the same problems year after year and only seem to get temporary relief from self-destructive behavior and thought patterns that undermine their happiness and lessen their quality of life. But by taking wisdom from the Bible and applying it in practical, life-changing ways, you can become a new person, free from the ravages of your past. People who I have counseled often ask why, when theyve been a Christian for so long, theyve never heard these things taught. I dont know the answer to that, but I do know that now is your time to become the person youve dreamed of becoming.
This new casebook focuses on the transactional nature of contracts. In addition to describing the law of contracts and how the law is applied in litigation, Contracts in Context: From Transaction to Litigation explores why parties enter into contracts, how written contracts are customarily structured, and why and how parties use contract design and terms to achieve their goals. It explores how parties “contract around” default requirements of the law, in addition to satisfying mandatory aspects of the law, through contracts. The book describes the role of both the transactional lawyer and litigator in working with contracts. It presents much of the material in expository fashion rather than only or primarily through cases. It then challenges students to apply that law through transactional and litigation practice and simulation problems. Professors and students will benefit from: Material presented not only on contract law, but also on contract design and terms, so that students understand how contracts and contract law support private ordering by parties Many examples of contract language to demonstrate why and how parties customize contracts to further their goals Discussion of the role of the transactional lawyer in working with contracts so that students can begin to develop important transactional skills and wrestle with some of the professional dilemmas transactional lawyers frequently face Material presented through expository text to give students a more comprehensive and clearer view of what limits the law imposes on their private ordering through contracts and which requirements can be contracted around A large set of problems, many of which involve tasks assigned to new transactional lawyers and litigators, to allow students to learn the material through active participation and critical thinking
