Books with author Brett Griffin

The waning years of the nineteenth century saw the emergence of a new kind of journalism in the United States, one that not only challenged government and corporate power, but also turned to sordid crimes and scandals for much of its material. Sensational, shocking, and lurid, this new style of reporting came to be known as "yellow journalism." The trend influenced newspapers across the country, and its role in building public support for the Spanish-American War has become the stuff of legend. The supplemental features of this book, including striking photographs, primary sources, and informative sidebars, trace the development of yellow journalism and demonstrate its impact today.

Palace intrigue and the living embodiment of a childhood ghost story await Dihya when she enters the Irrean mountain on her first diplomatic mission. Sixteen years old and the daughter of the ruler of the Red Plains, Dihya has been reluctantly recruited for this delegation of representatives from the three newly united Plains of Tama. Though she had expected a boring, mostly ceremonial visit, Dihya finds herself thrown in the middle of an Irrean religious awakening and political upheaval. A new Flame has arisen to lead Irre, and hand-in-hand with a new Flame comes a new Wolf; the mysterious, animal-like protector of the one who has been Favored by the Irrean god. Now, other things are emerging from the shadows deep inside the mountain – other things which have been relegated to dark stories whispered around hearth fires. The gifts of the Favored will be vitally necessary to keep the darkness at bay.

Do all men cheat? Why do men cheat on their wives or girlfriends? You may be surprised to learn that most cases of adultery will usually fall into just a handful of categories. Potential cheaters will send out early signs that they are thinking of cheating. Then they will send out signs that they are about to cheat. Finally, the telltale signs that a cheater puts out are clear as day when he is engaging in infidelity. The goal of this book is to help women recognize some of the early signs and either save the relationship or end it before they get hurt. This book is also just a quick, fun read, regardless of your relationship status. It does not attempt to be politically correct. So please, no hurt feelings. Finally, this book is not intended to bash men or suggest that men are the only ones who cheat. I could very easily write a book titled, Why Women Cheat or Why Do People Cheat. However, those books would be slightly different. This one is focused only on why guys cheat. I hope you enjoy it and maybe even learn something.
