These stunning stories explore, with poignancy and wit, the treacherous, alluring, and sometimes painful territories of memory, family, and friendship. These stories teach us that even “the right people” can harbor hideous secrets, that love, embarrassment, and food can assume bewildering and heartbreaking combinations and that there are many ways of being used by—or using—other people. Hammond’s stories probe beyond the surface of our lives to consider the complexities that underlie the most ordinary of relationships and the painful difficulty by which even small insights are achieved. Her characters sometimes flinch from their hard-earned wisdom, but their journeys to comprehension offer the reader a rich and unforgettable experience. These are stories to be read with pleasure and wonder.

I wake up and remember, begins Theodora Mapes, the quick-witted, endearing narrator of Emily Hammond's first novel. What follows is the story of Theo's journey from Colorado to California in search of the truth about her past. Recently separated from her husband and newly pregnant, Theo has come back to California looking for answers, not only about herself, but also about her mother who committed suicide when Theo was a child. Answers that must include the circumstances of the mysterious death of an infant sister, Charlotte, so many years ago.Why would a baby die? Our father gave the same long explanation each time, about how children in the olden days weren't as healthy as you kids now -- and then he would list all the illnesses. Diptheria, scarlet fever, small-pox, influenza, consumption. I always listened for the name of our sister's disease, wondering what she had, why she had died. Only once did I get up the courage to ask: did Charlotte have diptheria or influenza? No, my father said, looking as solemn as I'd ever seen him. Sometimes babies died, he said, died in their sleep.In California, she reconnects with family members, her dottily distant father, the world's last puritan, her enduring Aunt Lyla, the sister of Theo's dead mother, and Theo's older brother, Corb, upright and successful, determined to keep the door of their past firmly closed. Old friends surface, in particular Gregg, a former boyfriend whose sexy and reliable presence offers Theo comfort. But Theo is not yet willing to disclose her pregnancy to him nor to her husband, Jackson, who seeks a reconciliation.Impressively crafted, Milk is a complex story, by turns funny, sad, and inspiring.Award-winning short story writer Emily Hammond examines the bonds that rattle family, past and present.

The Fourth Edition of Energy, Economics and the Environment focuses on the unifying characteristics of energy law, while also emphasizing its connections to environmental and economic issues affecting energy industries. The casebook covers the full range of energy resources, as well as an in-depth examination of issues related to electric power. Like previous editions, this casebook is intended to be used in an Energy Law survey course, but the materials in the book are rich enough that they can also be adapted to a course or seminar covering renewable energy, oil &amp; gas, electricity regulation, or advanced topics in environmental law. Previous editions of the casebook have been used in law school classrooms for nearly two decades. The new edition of the casebook provides a pedagogical window that can readily be adapted to a variety of courses and teaching styles as issues in energy continue to change. Materials in the casebook include extended problems, case studies, and other practice-oriented materials to allow students to learn important concepts in a practical context. We emphasize four recurring and cross-cutting themes throughout the casebook: (1) public versus private ownership of energy resources; (2) monopoly vs. competition; (3) externalities and risk concepts; and (4) public governance, including federalism issues. These four themes have defined energy law since the early twentieth century―and they are at play in every energy resource arena today. The Table of Contents is as follows: Chapter 1: Introduction: Themes in Energy Law Chapter 2: Public Utility Principles and an Overview of the Electric Power Industry Chapter 3: Coal Production Chapter 4: Oil and Gas Production Chapter 5: Controlling the Externalities of Fossil-Fueled Generation Chapter 6: Hydroelectric Power Chapter 7: Nuclear Energy Chapter 8: Rate Regulation Principles Chapter 9: Oil and Gas Pipelines: Opening Markets Chapter 10: Electric Power Markets Chapter 11: Renewable Power Chapter 12: Renewable Power Case Studies Chapter 13: Conservation, Efficiency, and the “Smart Grid” Chapter 14: International Energy Markets Chapter 15: Transportation
