"e;Tom Ribe's clear, scrupulous and thorough account of the Los Alamos/Bandelier fire of 2000 is a white-knuckle narrative, yet meticulously accurate."e;-Roger G. Kennedy, Former Director, U.S. National Park Service; Director Emeritus, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution and author of Wildfire and AmericansInferno by Committee tells the story of America's worst prescribed fire disaster, the Cerro Grande Fire of 2000 which burned 250 homes in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The fire started with a National Park Service prescribed fire that went out of control and ended up burning 42,000 acres of the Santa Fe National Forest. A thorough review of the investigations of the fire and the policy changes that resulted from this seminal event in American fire history are also an integral part of this examination. Prescribing fire on the landscape involves risk. Sometimes, as with the Cerro Grande Fire, the risk taken results in disaster. For land managers, there really is no option but to prescribe fire and take risk-to restore fire to a landscape where fire is native and necessary for the survival of biological systems. Cerro Grande showed us both the consequences of taking a risk with fire and more dramatically, the consequences of avoiding that risk.

The 2/1 Game Force System is an improvement over the Standard American System that has been played by bridge players for years. The clear advantage of 2/1 is that it allows a partnership to know that game is possible with only a single bid by the responder. However, a significant disadvantage is that the opener may have between 12 and 21 high card points (HCP) when opening one of a suit, obviously a very wide range. To remedy this situation, one may employ the strong club system in contract or duplicate bridge know simply as Precision.

Chiropractic Peace marks the beginning of the end for infighting between mixers (broad-scope) and straights (focused-scope). The three refreshing essays by Drs. Reed Phillips, Ashley Cleveland, and Gerry Clum introduce chiropractic leaders, students, faculty and practitioners to a new, less contentious, dialogue on the political, sociological, philosophical and historical issues of our profession. After years of polemical argumentation, reading Chiropractic Peace is like getting a new pair of glasses or a much-needed spinal adjustment. Uplifting relief! Instead of seeking peace by trying to hammer out compromises, which many do not find successful in the end, the three writers utilize the concept of pluralism to construct a big tent which will accommodate all ethical chiropractors who adhere to basic chiropractic principles. The three contributors bring a much-needed respectful tone to the discourse. And in an important turn for the profession, each writer acknowledges that all of the campsfocused-scope, middle-scope, and broad-scopeare committed to ethical and skillful practice.

What would you do if you began receiving communications from an Inner Voice? What if the Voice brought you more understanding, love and abundance? What if that Voice enhanced your Spiritual growth? What would you do if you realized that your experience could be a universal experience - available to everyone willing to "e;ask"e; and "e;listen?"e; Ron Reynolds, a radio newsman, and his wife Denny Reynolds, a California Marriage and Family Therapist, relate their experience after accidentally discovering this Voice Within. The information, which Ron channeled while in a light trance state, was tape- recorded and is shared for the first time in this remarkable chronicle. Every session began with the greeting, "e;We are here,"e; and proceeded to impart profound pieces of wisdom, guidance, and answers to personal questions pertinent to everyday life situations and challenges. In time, "e;The We"e; became known not only as a dear and loving friend, but also a trusted advisor and teacher. The events recorded by Ron and Denny unfolded over a span of two decades and provided a spiritual adventure in the tradition of Edgar Cayce, "e;the sleeping prophet;"e; Neal Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God: Helen Schucman, who took the dictation that became A Course in Miracles; and Jane Roberts, who channeled the Seth material. In Chapter Nine you will learn a simple process for creating your own spiritual awakening by learning to tap in to your Inner Voice to receive the gifts of Spirit. The Voice for God lives within each of us.

In Russia, at night, a despairing young woman of royal blood runs away from her husband's rich estate, carrying her baby in her arms, to a new life as an artist (1896)... In California, on a playground, a 10-year-old girl calls on her cell-phone 911, trying to save her dying grandmother's life (2006) One hundred-and-ten years separate these two events; one hundred-and-ten years of one Russian family, seen from a child's perspective. In the little girl's eyes is reflected the whole portrait of Russia in the 20th century - the historical moments, life style, traditions, mentality, and fates of its people - like one shiny raindrop can sometimes reflect the whole world. Curse of Russia is a page-turner book, with subtle dramaturgic line and amazing real, living characters.

A Passion for the Living Christ: The Gospel of John, Play Scripted with Exposition, lays out the entire gospel verbatim (NRSV), with its scenes intertwined with exposition. This unique approach to a study of the Eagle's Gospel reaches out both to those who are well versed in this beloved book of the Bible, and to others who feel led to deepen their understanding of the Fourth Gospel. Both groups are encouraged to be in prayer agreement with the author of this book that we all may deepen our passion for the living Christ through the presence of the Holy Spirit. During the past half century while William Yanney has maintained a memorization of the Gospel of John (RSV), he has dramatized Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol to over 300 audiences. Motivated by his impression that both works feature a logical sequence of scenes under the control of a Narrator, he has play scripted the gospel so that a reader may visualize the episodes as a drama, indeed as the greatest nonfiction play ever written. Though not intended for theatrical production, individual scenes lend themselves to group Bible study, segments of corporate worship, and sermons. Beyond the vividness of the gospel's scenes with the Narrator's guidance, exposition of the episodes is vital to an understanding of the nuances of the Johannine writer and his selection of the scenes. Not intended as a commentary, the exposition focuses on the uniqueness of John as compared to the vocabulary and historical content of the Synoptics. The I AM sayings and signs are emphasized. In it all and through it all the purpose of the Fourth Gospel is emphasized, "e;These are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name."e; (20:31)

For a little girl learning about life from parents and family, the effect that the indian agent had on everyones life would not be noticed. Their life would be 'normal'. Later on that influence would be seen as a controlled environment. The closeness of family and friends and our spirituality provided the strength to endure and make a life as best we could. These stories act as a window into the joy and pain of those early years. While the stories are true I have included some childrens stories told to me by my grandparents which were used as teaching tools.
