When he's sent by his editor at Cocky to interview the newly-out hockey legend Danny Harper, though, he gets a little more than he bargained for.Eliot has been stuck writing a men's fashion and grooming column that no one reads since he started at Cocky--a men's lifestyle magazine--a year ago. Desperate to prove himself, he takes the assignment to interview Harper, even though he couldn't necessarily hold a hockey stick the right way up in an emergency. Danny turns out to be nothing like he expected--a lonely man who's missed out on a lot by being in the closet, rather than the overconfident jock Eliot expects him to be. As much as he doesn't want to be, Eliot finds himself drawn to the other man.When Danny proposes they fake a relationship to improve his image, Eliot jumps at the chance--not only does he need the money, but his curiosity about Danny demands to be satisfied.With Danny struggling to get through the season on a busted knee and Eliot digging up the story that could make his career, can the two of them admit their real feelings and find their happy ending?Cocky is a standalone gay romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It does, however, contain peppermint lip balm, platonic(ish) bed-sharing, explicit sex scenes, hockey-related injuries, and several five a.m. starts. |

Frances Ashcroft has a rare gift for making difficult subjects accessible and fascinating. —Bill Bryson, author of The Body: A Guide for Occupants What happens during a heart attack?

| sean ashcroft: Love and Hydrogen Jim Shepard, 2007-12-18 I’ve been a problem baby, a lousy son, a distant brother, an off-putting neighbor, a piss-poor student, a worrisome seatmate, an unreliable employee, a bewildering lover, a frustrating confidante and a crappy husband. Among the things I do pretty well at this point I’d have to list darts, re-closing Stay-Fresh boxes, and staying out of the way. This is the self-eulogy offered early on by the unwilling hero of the opening story in this collection, a dazzling array of work in short fiction from a master of the form. The stories in Love and Hydrogen—familiar to readers from publications ranging from McSweeney’s to The New Yorker to Harper’s to Tin House—encompass in theme and compassion what an ordinary writer would seem to need several lifetimes to imagine. A frustrated wife makes use of an enterprising illegal-gun salesman to hold her husband hostage; two hapless adult-education students botch their attempts at rudimentary piano but succeed in a halting, awkward romance; a fascinated and murderous Creature welcomes the first human visitors to his Black Lagoon; and in the title story, the stupefyingly huge airship Hindenburg flies to its doom, representing in 1937 mankind's greatest yearning as well as its titanic failure. Generous in scope and astonishing in ambition, Shepard’s voice never falters; the virtuosity of Love and Hydrogen cements his reputation as, in the words of Rick Bass, “a passionate writer with a razor-sharp wit and an elephantine heart”—in short, one of the most powerful talents at work today. |

Mark's never thought of himself as attracted to other men, but Josh is so warm and kind and good to him, not to mention amazing with Dylan. He finds himself drawn to the other man in a way he's never experienced before, but he's been alone for so long that he can't bring himself to care. So what if he's suddenly attracted to a man? Josh is also struggling with his attraction to Mark, a man who represents everything he wants in life--stability, companionship, and a family of his own. He knows better than to believe that Mark would want him like that, but it's so easy to dream... Both men have already been hurt by love, but can they open their hearts again before their doubts tear them apart? Or will their worlds prove to be too different for them to be together? |
| sean ashcroft: How to Be Alone Jonathan Franzen, 2007-05-15 Musings on postmodern America by the National Book Award–winning author: “Why be alone? For the pleasure of reading books such as this.” —Entertainment Weekly How to Be Alone is a powerful collection of nonfiction by the New York Times–bestselling author of novels including The Corrections, Freedom, and Crossroads. While the essays range in subject matter from the sex-advice industry to the way a supermax prison works, each one wrestles with the essential themes of Jonathan Franzen’s writing: the erosion of civil life and private dignity; and the hidden persistence of loneliness in postmodern, imperial America. “[Franzen] focuses on the growing commercialism and alienation . . . Presenting a number of variations on that theme, he addresses such personal topics as his smoking habit, an interview for the Oprah show, and his father’s battle with Alzheimer’s, a poignant account of the disease’s impact on his family. In addition, pieces on the shortcomings of the Chicago post office, the supermax prison in Colorado, and the isolating effects of an increasingly computerized society show Franzen’s skill as a journalist and social critic. Also included is ‘Why Bother?,’ a revision of his 1996 critique of the American novel . . . penetrating yet entertaining social commentary.” —Library Journal “Intelligent, thoughtful and provocative pieces.” —Publishers Weekly “Although Franzen calls them ‘essays’ many of these pieces are reportage. He’s good at it . . . He goes out on many a limb (as essayists should) and gives us a good many things to think about, such as the blurring line between private and public behavior in the age of the 24-hour news cycle.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune “An intellectually engaging self-awareness as formidable as Joan Didion’s.” —New York Times “Do good books matter anymore? This one does.” —Time |
| sean ashcroft: Gunpowder & Glory Harry Smee, Henry Macrory, 2020-04-15 The thrilling biography of the brilliant British inventor and daredevil war hero whose efforts saved countless lives during WWI. Though he only lived to be 33, Wing Commander Frank Brock had accomplished much in his short life. The scion of the world-famous Brock Fireworks company, he is best known as the inventor of the Brock Bullet—the explosive bullet used to destroy German Zeppelins. He also invented the Dover Flares which lit up the sea at night and forced U-boats into deep mine fields. But his exploits went far beyond the engineering lab. As a secret agent Brock dashed to France on his wedding day, snuck into Switzerland, rowed across Lake Constance into enemy territory, and orchestrated the world’s first strategic bombing raid at the zeppelin factory in Friedrichshafen, Germany. On the day of his untimely death, he led the charge in a surprise naval attack on Zeebrugge, Belgium, only made possible by the smoke screen he invented to mask their approach. Co-authored by his grandson, Gunpowder and Glory tells more than Brock’s amazing life of invention and heroism. Woven into the narrative is the dazzling history of C.T. Brock & Company Fireworks, the world-famous firm started by Frank’s five-times great-grandfather. |

Salloum, Mohammed Al-Saidat, Ahmed Aburayya, Babeet Gupta, 2024-03-29 This book aims to bring together a collection of innovative and cutting-edge research that addresses the various challenges in the application and theoretical aspects of ChatGPT in education.

It is also integrated with existing learning management systems and educational technology platforms to enhance their capabilities. In research, ChatGPT is used for natural language processing and sentiment analysis to gather insights on student learning experiences and educational outcomes. However, it is important to note that there are also ethical and privacy concerns that come with using language models like ChatGPT in education, such as data protection and the potential for bias. Overall, the use of ChatGPT in education has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn, teach, and access information. The book seeks to publish original manuscripts that cover a broad range of topics, from the development of new chatbot technologies and their integration into the classroom, to the examination of the ethical and pedagogical implications of these systems. By compiling the latest developments in the field and highlighting new areas for exploration, this book provides valuable insights and perspectives for researchers, educators, and practitioners working in the field of ChatGPT and education. The ultimate goal is to advance the understanding of ChatGPT and its role in education and to promote its effective and responsible use in the classroom and beyond. |

| sean ashcroft: Why Taiwan Matters Kerry Brown, 2025-01-28 Taiwan expert Kerry Brown sums up the history of Taiwan and the danger of a Chinese takeover in this succinct and authoritative book. When the bloody Chinese Civil War concluded in 1949, two Chinas were born. Mao’s Communists won and took China’s mainland; Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists fled to Taiwan island. Since then, China and Taiwan have drifted into being separate political and cultural entities. Taiwan is now a flourishing democracy and an economic success story: just one of its companies produces over 90 per cent of the semiconductors that power the world’s economy. It is a free and vibrant society. For the United States and the West, the island is a bastion of freedom against China’s assertive presence in the region. And yet China, increasingly bellicose under Xi Jinping, insists Taiwan is part of its territory and must be returned to it. Should China blockade the island and mount an invasion, it would set off a chain reaction that would pitch it against the US – escalating a regional war into a global one. Taiwan is thus a geopolitical powder keg. Why Taiwan Matters helps us understand how and why we’ve arrived at this dangerous moment in history. With unparalleled access to Taiwan’s political leaders and a deep understanding of the island’s history and culture, Professor Kerry Brown provides a new reading of Taiwan, its twenty-three million people, and how they navigate being caught in this frightening geopolitical standoff. Why Taiwan Matters is the essential book for understanding Taiwan’s unique story told in an accessible, expert and urgent way. |
