Dana's Disease
The reader meets five-year-old Dana, her dad, and her family on Wednesday November 13, 2002. A few things become obvious within the first few pages. Dana is sick, apparently with the flu, but something doesn't feel right with this diagnosis. There's something more sinister about this flu. Dana has Type 1 diabetes and this is complicating the already difficult situation involving her care. Dana's dad is disillusioned with God, but something in his relationship with Father Wes and in this troubled situation is drawing him to God. The reader is then taken back to Sunday January 16, 2000, before any of the troubles that Dana and her family now face have taken hold. The story reveals Dana and her family through her dad's perspective, from happy and carefree beginning through a three-year journey of suffering, quiet triumph, and personal awakening. Dana's Disease is based on the true accounts of the struggles of Dana Kanerva to be a healthy normal child, from soon after her third birthday to days before her sixth birthday.

100 Years of Gravity and Accelerated Frames
This collection of papers presents ideas and problems arising over the past 100 years regarding classical and quantum gravity, gauge theories of gravity, and spacetime transformations of accelerated frames. Both Einstein's theory of gravity and the Yang-Mills theory are gauge invariant. The invariance principles in physics have transcended both kinetic and dynamic properties and are at the very heart of our understanding of the physical world. In this spirit, this book attempts to survey the development of various formulations for gravitational and Yang-Mills fields and spacetime transformations of accelerated frames, and to reveal their associated problems and limitations.The aim is to pres...

Inferno in Chechnya
In 2013, the United States suffered its worst terrorist bombing since 9/11 at the annual running of the Boston Marathon. When the culprits turned out to be U.S. residents of Chechen descent, Americans were shocked and confused. Why would members of an obscure Russian minority group consider America their enemy? Inferno in Chechnya is the first book to answer this riddle by tracing the roots of the Boston attack to the Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia. Brian Glyn Williams describes the tragic history of the bombers' war-devastated homeland-including tsarist conquest and two bloody wars with post-Soviet Russia that would lead to the rise of Vladimir Putin-showing how the conflict there influenced the rise of Europe's deadliest homegrown terrorist network. He provides a historical account of the Chechens' terror campaign in Russia, documents their growing links to Al Qaeda and radical Islam, and describes the plight of the Chechen diaspora that ultimately sent two Chechens to Boston. Inferno in Chechnya delivers a fascinating and deeply tragic story that has much to say about the historical and ethnic roots of modern terrorism.
Women’s Experiences in Leadership in K-16 Science Education Communities, Becoming and Being
A discourse on women’s leadership within science education has, until now, been largely invisible in book form. This, therefore, is the first book to address women’s leadership within science education. The book embraces relational ways of knowing as a foundation for leadership and takes courageous steps by exposing our innermost tensions, dilemmas, and feelings about leadership, making them available to others. The power/promise of feminine approaches to transform traditional leadership cultures is also addressed. The authors believe that anyone can lead, regardless of position, title, years of experience or age. They also believe that each of us has a responsibility to provide some leadership and direction for the shared endeavours of which we are part. The purpose of the book is to inspire and guide educators and academics in K-16 science education, as well as individuals in other professions, as their leadership skills develop. The leadership activities provided offer guidance and/or concrete ways to delve into issues of leadership.
