Henry Dared to Live
Henry J. Seiler was an energetic eleven year old who excelled at wrestling, and while he may have felt indestructible, he learned how fragile life was on a spring day in 1975 when he climbed on the back of a friend's motorcycle. Minutes later, he was lying in a crumpled heap and being rushed to a hospital in nearby Des Moines, Iowa, where he spent forty-five days in a coma. Doctors told his family and friends that they didn't expect him to live. But Henry--even in his comatose state--thought otherwise, and he dared to live. With the same strong-willed determination he exhibited as a wrestler, he awakened from his coma and fought to overcome his physical challenges. Henry encourages us to handle life as it comes, working through every day as if it were any other day. Abiding by his motto, "I know where I am going, and I know what it takes to get there," was his key to success. No matter what challenges you're facing--even if you're flat on your back and staring at the ceiling tiles--you can find the will to succeed and come out a winner by learning from Henry.

Rogue Mission
CIA agent Jordan Sandor is on a mission that blends non-stop suspense, intrigue and danger. CIA agent Jordan Sandor's mission is more complex and has more at stake than any he has faced before. From Bermuda to the United Kingdom, from France to the deserts of Iraq, Jordan must face down villains both known and unknown, recognized and hidden, as he struggles to prevent the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people.

The action begins on the first page and does not end until the explosive climax.
“This Is My Doctrine”: The Development of Mormon Theology
The principal doctrines defining Mormonism today often bear little resemblance to those it started out with in the early 1830s. This book shows that these doctrines did not originate in a vacuum but were rather prompted and informed by the religious culture from which Mormonism arose. Early Mormons, like their early Christian and even earlier Israelite predecessors, brought with them their own varied culturally conditioned theological presuppositions (a process of convergence) and only later acquired a more distinctive theological outlook (a process of differentiation). In this first-of-its-kind comprehensive treatment of the development of Mormon theology, Charles Harrell traces the history...
In Heaven as It Is on Earth
A compelling new interpretation of early Mormonism, Samuel Brown's In Heaven as It Is On Earth views this religion through the lens of founder Joseph Smith's profound preoccupation with the specter of death. Revisiting historical documents and scripture from this novel perspective, Brown offers new insight into the origin and meaning of some of Mormonism's earliest beliefs and practices. The world of early Mormonism was besieged by death--infant mortality, violence, and disease were rampant. A prolonged battle with typhoid fever, punctuated by painful surgeries including a threatened leg amputation, and the sudden loss of his beloved brother Alvin cast a long shadow over Smith's own life. Sm...

Written by world-class leaders in their field, the chapters c...
Rethinking Environmental Justice in Sustainable Cities
As the study of environmental policy and justice becomes increasingly significant in today’s global climate, standard statistical approaches to gathering data have become less helpful at generating new insights and possibilities. None of the conventional frameworks easily allow for the empirical modeling of the interactions of all the actors involved, or for the emergence of outcomes unintended by the actors. The existing frameworks account for the "what," but not for the "why." Heather E. Campbell, Yushim Kim, and Adam Eckerd bring an innovative perspective to environmental justice research. Their approach adjusts the narrower questions often asked in the study of environmental justice, e...

19th Century Love Affair of Joseph Smith & Emma Hale
The 19th Century Love Affair of Joseph Smith and Emma Hale was born out of the author's study of LDS polygamy, polyandry, and child marriage within the early days of the LDS Church. The author's grandfather was a polygamist and could, first-hand, see the strain on the last wife of her grandfather. Grandma Cleo worked and cooked for 45 children, during family gatherings. I never saw her tire, but I was always sorry for her. I tried to stay out of the way and not get into trouble, so I minded my business, as was the discipline at that time. My father did not want anything to do with polygamy, so our immediate family was spared the pain of that God-forsaken lifestyle.
