      Turk and Kenny are best of friends who only meet up in the summer in Seagrove. Their families own second homes at the shore. Just fourteen, they are ready this summer to graduate from riding the ocean waves on their inflatable, rubber rafts to the real thing: surfboard riding! They have also arrived at a certain age when girls sunbathing on the beach have become a slight distraction, but hands down, their passion is surfing. They fashion a deal with an older beachboy, Frank, whose job is setting up umbrellas and beach chairs on Moonlight Beach, where bonfires dot the shoreline at night. Turk and Kenny agree to set up Frank's umbrella and beach chair rentals every morning, and take them down in late afternoon, in return for the use of two surfboards as the sun is rising each morning. A sign out in front of Frank's tent reads, "SURFBOARDS FOR RENT." Negotiations by the two young businessmen proceed, and the deal is struck. A whole exciting, new chapter opens in the boys' lives, one they must keep secret from their parents. The prior summer, three surfers have drowned in Seagrove, and the boys' parents have forbidden them to surf until they are sixteen. For young readers, ages 10-15.

      The Sociology of Loyalty

      • 172 pages
      • 7 hours of reading

      Exploring the intricate relationship between emotions and social action, this work delves into how feelings like anger, jealousy, and guilt influence our motivations and interactions. While many emotions have been studied academically, loyalty remains notably overlooked. The text argues that understanding these emotional states is crucial for comprehending societal dynamics, as they serve as indicators of our motivations and actions within social contexts. Through this lens, the book seeks to illuminate the often un-theorized roles of individual emotions in shaping social life.
