The 247 firms have over 148,600 tractor/trailers.Children and bored adult passengers use the book to search for and get points when they spot the 18-wheeler.

Did you ever play the "License Plate Game" and spent hours trying to find that license plate from Montana? How about the "Alphabet Game" and how difficult it was to find "Q" or "X"? Maybe you're young enough to remember playing them with your parents? Why don't you and your family search for 18-wheelers instead? They are a lot easier to spot and this book will provide the pictures! ! ! Maybe Daddy and Johnny can compete against Mommy and Susie to see who can spot the greatest number.In addition to the pictures of 18-wheelers, there is a story that provides fun facts about what daddy sees, hauls, and does while on his trips. Like, did you ever see a train being carried on an 18-wheeler? Or how about a horse trailer that transports the Kentucky Derby winner from California to Churchill Downs in Kentucky? How about a map of the United States or information about where daddy sleeps, takes a shower, or spends his off time?It's a fun and challenging way to spend many hours while driving down the interstate highways.Elizabeth Williams loved the book and said "Gave as a gift to my Nephew. He loves 18-wheelers and it is difficult to find a book with photos and that he wants to read. This book has both. Would buy again."

"Family Values" is something we hear about all the time by politicians and pundits, preachers and proselytes, who paint a picture of crumbling families and a deteriorating social order.

Finally, Russell King brings sanity, respect, and honest insight into the debate. At last, a poignant look at one father's efforts to make "family values" synonymous with inclusion, growth, community, and love.

How do migration and integration change when ¿crisis becomes normalcy¿? This open access book investigates this question in the present context of turbulent times when, instead of dealing with one crisis, migrants, governments and whole societies have to cope within a complex web of multiple unsettling events that create anxieties about migration. Emphasising a plurality of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, as well as a variety of geographical settings in Europe and beyond, the chapters bring new insights into migrations produced by global political events, national political shifts, economic downturns and the Covid-19 pandemic. Special attention is given to both migrants¿ experiences and policy outcomes. The result is an impressive rethinking of the concepts and terminology applied to migration and integration, of interest to students, social scientists, and policy-makers.

"Russell King has written the most definitive account of this grand American saga. Rajneeshpuram is rich storytelling." --Chapman and Maclain Way, directors of Wild Wild Country In 1981, ambitious young Ma Anand Sheela transported the Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh to the United States to fulfill his dream of creating a utopia for his thousands of disciples. Four years later, the incendiary Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon collapsed under the weight of audacious criminal conspiracies hatched in its inner sanctum, including the largest bioterrorism attack in US history, an unprecedented election fraud scheme, and multiple attempted murders. Rajneeshpuram explores how this extraordinary spiritual community, featured in the Netflix docuseries Wild Wild Country, went so wrong. Drawing from extensive interviews with former disciples and an exhaustive review of commune records, government and police files, and archival materials, author Russell King probes the charismatic power that Bhagwan (later known as Osho) and Sheela exercised over the community and the turbulent legal and political environment that left commune leaders ready to deceive, poison, and even murder to preserve their home and their master. Rajneeshpuram is a fresh examination of the Rajneesh story, using newly available information and interviews with high-ranking disciples who have never before shared their stories.

This book argues that either we create paths to legal migration or migration will remain illegal. Migration can potentially benefit both the host societies and countries of origin. But an approach that seeks to maximise the benefits and to control the costs of migration depends centrally on how we choose to govern it.

Analysing the dynamics of the post-1990 Albanian migration to Italy, this book is the first major study of one of Europe's newest, most dramatic yet least understood migrations. It takes a close look at migrants' employment, housing and social exclusion in Italy, as well as the process of return migration to Albania. The research described in the book challenges the pervasive stereotype of the "e;bad Albanian"e; and, through in-depth fieldwork on Albanian communities in Italy and back in Albania, provides rich insights into the Albanian experience of migration, settlement and return in both their positive and their negative aspects.

The study's findings offer policy-makers insights into the realities of ageing working migrants and advocates for a more inclusive transnational citizenship, better working conditions, and ongoing care arrangements for older migrants post-retirement, either abroad or back home.
