"Overcast" is a collection of verse written about a middle class family in a 20th century industrial American city. Many of the pieces are narrative, centered on the life of the author's sister whose cloistered life was turned upside down by immersion in Japanese culture. Other pieces are inspired by subjects political and personal, abstract and concrete. The tone is wry and irreverent with a kind of linguistic swagger. They are accessible, even fun to read, and are intended for the intelligent, thoughtful reader. Some are also emotional, regarding the puzzle of life, the certainty of loss, and the depth of feeling created by transience.

In the Book of Genesis, it is recorded that God made the earth and everything in it. When Adam and Eve committed the first sin, they were cast out of the Garden of Eden. The Biblical Record will show that almost 6000 years have passed since man inherited and began to populate the earth. During this period of time God has dealt with mankind over seven distinct periods of time called dispensations. The Holy Scriptures also record eight major covenants that God made with man in which He promised blessings and favor if man obeys the conditions set forth in each covenant. When man disobeyed and sinned against God, he suffered the consequences. As man was punished or blessed, God would give signs of His faithfulness and enduring patience. It is important to understand the nature and character of God as man seeks redemption and salvation. The progressive revelation of God and how He will redeem sinful man defines and clarifies one of the most important question that could ever be asked: What is the eternal plan of God to redeem and save mankind? This book will carefully examine each dispensation, covenant and sign and discuss the role that each plays in the eternal plan of God. It is believed that this is the first book to discuss dispensations and covenants as a unified topic. The set of eight signs given to man also appear to be defined in this book for the first time.

"Listen, Granule, about what daddy said. Is it true?""Mummy said he was joking.""I think it's true.""Really?""I think so.""D'you mean mummy's a liar?"Mandolyn was thoughtful. Granule's eyes were fixed on her face. He loved her face. It was so… he didn't know the word… it kept changing… unlike his own, which was always the same. Mandolyn smiling and Mandolyn grave were almost two different people; Mandolyn laughing was a third; Mandolyn perplexed a fourth, and so on. When she was deep in thought, two tiny wrinkles appeared on her forehead, making her look, to Granule, almost old, though otherwise, partly because she was so small, partly because of what Granule thought of as her beauty, she seemed younger than her nine years and could easily pass for seven or even six."Let's run away," Granule suddenly blurted out.

Most burn injuries require some convalescence and serious burns can mean months in a hospital and years to stabilize. When patients enter the world again, they're often stressed. Having to deal with pain management, possible loss of housing, wages or unemployment issues pressing, parenting, career or school difficulties. The families and friends of survivors are also often just as stressed. Burn injuries affect loved ones because they take so long to heal. Portland Burn Survivors is here to help as survivors and their friends and families navigate long term challenges. "...do I believe?" is an anthology about surviving a life altering injury; stories, poetry and art from survivors, their friends and families. From a woman in the USA burned this past year, to a Canadian author and motivational speaker burned as a child, to a model/photographer in the United Kingdom helping people redefine beauty. Twenty six artists share their points of view.

America descends deeper into political, social, and cultural turmoil and her constitutional principles dangerously erode so that the old Republic established by the Founding Fathers looks like it will soon disappear. A brilliant, but obscure, professor-a deeply religious Catholic Christian of unimpeachable character-gains surprising public notice for resisting a budding scandal at his university and is sought out to enter politics in his state. He becomes the accidental governor, and after gaining attention for his bold and courageous initiatives to clean up and redirect the state's politics is urged by many to run for President. After an unorthodox campaign for a Media Age, which features masterful organization and goes right to the people in their local areas, he is elected from a divided field of candidates. The non-politician President uses executive power in a sweeping and almost unprecedented way to save the Constitution and spawns political and cultural renewal and a grassroots movement to sustain it. Like the Cincinnatus of ancient Rome, however, power does not corrupt him and he readily steps away from it when his work-obviously guided by Providence-is done. This novel tells a striking story and educates about the realities of American politics.

Specifically designed to give students of diverse academic backgrounds an opportunity to explore and understand firsthand the underlying physical principles of our everyday atmospheric environment through the art of making and interpreting observations. It includes a variety of exercises that rely on analysis of provided weather observations. These activities are designed to foster understanding of the wide range of observations made of our atmospheric environment, with an emphasis on pattern recognition and anticipating the future state of the atmosphere.Special Features: Lab manuals for introductory weather classes are invariably made up of paper and pencil exercises- this book is different in that it teaches the scientific method through hands-on experiments that are easy to conduct and contain inexpensive materials. The vast range of activities allows instructors to make a selection that suits the emphasis of their accompanying lecture course. This book is designed for Introduction to Weather and Climate courses at the undergraduate level, but is also suitable for high school science classes with a geoscience focus. The labs and analysis exercises can be easily enhanced with widely available web resources, many of which are identified in the labs and Appendix.

"Pre-History's Chronology Enigma" is the follow up book to "Our Missing Ancestors: A Dynamic Civilization," in which an experimental hypothesis was offered for an extremely archaic culture that once flourished in deep-antiquity, and who are possibly the creators of the many mysterious megalithic sites, and other archaeological mysteries prevalent today. This new work offers support for the theory by delving into man's existence from early glacial periods, through the original peopling of North America. The journey clearly indicates that man has been around a lot longer than what scholars give him credit for, and was far more advanced than previously known.From time of the ancient, worldly Glacial Epochs to the more recent discoveries of cultures in the Northern Hemisphere, it has become possible to connect a remnant seafaring culture of the 'Dynamic Civilization' with those people now known as the First Nations of North America. The book offers an alternative insight as to how the peopling of the North American continent could actually have occurred, while paying close attention to the chronology factor which, at present, is being challenged by some researchers.
