Paperback. Condizione: Good. FOR READERS OF IN COLD BLOOD AND MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL This work of true crime as memoir is as much of an investigation of a shocking murder as it is a portrait of small-town America and the folks that make their homes there-and a deeply moving examination of parenting an autistic child For well over twenty years, Poe Ballantine traveled America, taking odd jobs, living in small rooms, trying to make a living as a writer. At age 46, he finally settled with his Mexican immigrant wife in Chadron, Nebraska, where they built a family with their son, who was red-flagged as autistic. But this quiet life is disruptd when one day in 2006, his neighbor, Steven Haataja, a math professor from the local state college, disappears. Ninety-five days later, the professor was found bound to a tree, burned to death in the hills behind the campus where he had taught. No one, law enforcement included, understood the circumstances. Though Ballantine had never contemplated writing mystery or true crime, this murder was too close to home to ignore. With this intimate knowledge-and occasional friendships-with all the players, the suspects, the sheriff, and the police involved, Ballantine and his son set out together to find out what might have happened to the professor and uncover who is ultimately responsible.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Our Social World: Introduction to Sociology, Condensed, inspires students to develop their sociological imaginations, to see the world and personal events from a new perspective, and to confront sociological issues on a day-to-day basis. The award-winning author team of Jeanne H. Ballantine, Keith A. Roberts, and Kathleen Odell Korgen organizes the text around the "Social World Model," a conceptual framework that demonstrates the relationships among individuals (the micro level); organizations, institutions, and subcultures (the meso level); and societies and global structures (the macro level). The application of this model across chapters helps students practice using the three levels of analysis and view sociology as an integrated whole rather than a set of discrete subjects. The Fifth Edition of the Condensed version is adapted from Our Social World: Introduction to Sociology and is one-third shorter by streamlining boxes and the main narrative, and combining four chapters into two (Family/Education, and Politics/Economics). New and Key Features A new full-length chapter on health, illness, and healthcare has been added.Several chapters have been reorganized with updated data, added studies, and newly emerging emphases in sociology.Six new "Sociologists in Action" features added.Four new "Engaging Sociology" features added with new opportunities for data analysis by students.100 new or updated Tables and Figures, nearly 500 new references, and dozens of older references removed.Many sentences and definitions in the book have been revised for brevity and clarity, and the glossary has been updated for better correspondence with the text.Links to exceptional teaching resources from A.S.A.?s TRAILS (Teaching Resources and Innovation Library for Sociology) available in SAGE coursepacks.MCAT Guide maps chapter content to Foundational Concepts and Content Categories in Section 3 of the MCAT test available in SAGE coursepacks.…
