    How to break an arrogant jock? 
Coach Davis should be happy. His team is on a winning streak. And his arrogant star quarterback, Wade Johnson, has finally learned to shut up and do what he’s told. It turns out that all Wade needed was a firm hand... and the threat of blackmail. 
Now the coach has Wade in a special kind of training. Properly broken and conditioned, Wade is going to be one hell of a player. And an even better sex slave. 
There’s just one problem-- Wade is holding on to a secret. Someone else had already given the cocky straight boy a taste for being used and dominated. And no matter what the coach threatens, Wade won’t give up the guy’s name. 
The coach doesn’t like to share. So he’s going to find out who Wade is protecting. Wade’s got to learn that he has no one to turn to. No one to trust. No one who’s going to ride to his rescue. Wade’s got to learn that he belongs to the coach. 
And no one else.

    A WWII Soviet officer recalls leading a battalion of convict-soldiers in this rare firsthand account of a Red Army penal unit. Alexander Pyl’cyn was eighteen years old when he was drafted into the Red Army in 1941. He went on to serve with great distinction, earing the Order of the Red Banner, the Order of the Great Patriotic War, and the Order of the Red Star for his actions during the war. As the commander of a penal battalion on the Eastern Front, he led an unruly band of convict-soldiers, Gulag prisoners, and former Soviet POWs deemed untrustworthy.   Relegated to the most difficult and dangerous assignments, Pyl’cyn’s unit was called up to break through the enemy’s defenses. He led his penal unit through the Soviets’ massive offensive in the summer of 1944, the Vistula-Oder operation into eastern Germany, and the bitter assault on Berlin in 1945. Though his men suffered massive casualties, and he himself withstood multiple wounds, he survived the war to tell this incredible story.

    What rational justification is there for conceiving of all living things as possessing inherent worth? In Respect for Nature, Paul Taylor draws on biology, moral philosophy, and environmental science to defend a biocentric environmental ethic in which all life has value. Without making claims for the moral rights of plants and animals, he offers a reasoned alternative to the prevailing anthropocentric view--that the natural environment and its wildlife are valued only as objects for human use or enjoyment. Respect for Nature provides both a full account of the biological conditions for life--human or otherwise--and a comprehensive view of the complex relationship between human beings and the whole of nature.  This classic book remains a valuable resource for philosophers, biologists, and environmentalists alike--along with all those who care about the future of life on Earth. A new foreword by Dale Jamieson looks at how the original 1986 edition of Respect for Nature has shaped the study of environmental ethics, and shows why the work remains relevant to debates today.
