In this magical, romantic book, the second in the series of The Unforgettables, the story of Ivy and Fox continues in contemporary times, while at the same time flashing back to previous generations of gypsies, circus performers, and vaudevillians. In Book One of the series, Ruby and Sal, Ivy had been taking notes from her 102-year- old great grandmother in order to write a book about Ruby's life. Little did she know that while learning about secrets her great-grandmother held, Ivy would reveal mysteries that she would need to solve before moving on with her own life. Centered around West Michigan where vaudevillians used to summer in the 1920s and 1930s, Maisy and Max is the mystical tale of a love story which is woven through a time that was filled with passionate love and agonizing trials. It then circles back to 2017 where we last left Ivy and Fox, miserable and aching for each other. In the past, each generation has held its secrets, but Ivy's secret may be the most powerful one of all and could possibly hurt the man she loves. Unbeknownst to Ivy, Fox also has a secret of his own that he has been holding close, and once revealed, he could lose all that he holds dear.…

More than a book, McKenzie-Mohr and Tabanico have given us a complete system for designing effective environmental programs. Solidly grounded in research and extensively field-tested in community programs, the tools described in this book can be applied to improve the effectiveness of any environmental program. Simply put, if you work on environmental issues, this book is indispensable. Dr. Clara Dolderman, Environmental Psychologist
Fostering Sustainable Behavior breaks down the mechanics of how to build effective, long-lasting behavior change, demystifying each step in practical and applicable ways. Whether you're new to the field or an expert, this is THE manual to guide you through improving your program's approach and outcomes. Dr. Edith de Guzman, University of California
This new edition provides the best program I have seen for marketing and achieving sustainability. It provides the theory, the steps, and the tools for protecting and enhancing our living environment. I hope this book receives the widest readership. Dr. Philip Kotler, Northwestern University
Fostering Sustainable Behavior is a must-read for anyone hoping to achieve actual behavior change, as well as for anyone teaching the psychology of behavior change. The concepts presented in this book have revolutionized my work as a scholar and an activist. Dr. Cynthia McPherson Frantz, Oberlin College
Fostering Sustainable Behavior should be required reading for anyone who develops or manages an environmental program. Dr. Wesley Schultz, Claremont Graduate School
Fostering Sustainable Behavior is a “must read” for anyone interested in improving the impact of community-based behavior change programs.

McKenzie-Mohr and Tabanico's methods for applying behavioral science and psychology to real-world environmental challenges are unparalleled. Their work connects theory to action in ways that are practical, and that spark tangible results.
