An unconventional love . . . A dark secret . . . He knew the only way the abuse would end was to run away from Landfield, away from him . . . or die. But as Richard Royce looked into the green eyes of Clarinda Matthias, his employer's niece, he felt something he had not felt in a very long time-hope-and he knew in his heart he would never leave her. As for Clarinda, she knew her love for the tall servant with the sad, dark eyes was real, even though it defied every convention of someone of her class and position. It was a love that would be tested when a diplomatic correspondence between Clarinda's uncle, State Department official Jack Matthias, and the ruler of a small German kingdom becomes a battle for power at Jack's doorstep, endangering not only the life of his guest but also his entire household.
Since the 17th century, autobiography has an honorable place in the study of history. In 1930, the preeminent historian of psychology, Edwin Boring, writes that a science separated from its history lacks direction and promises a future of uncertain importance. To understand what psychology is and what it is becoming, the autobiographies of famous psychologists is history at it best.

Originally published in 1988, Human Abilities in Cultural Context constituted a major development in conceptualising and studying human abilities. It formed a unique reference frame. This study offers a re-evaluation of ability theory by the editors, S. H. Irvine and J. W. Berry, and strong individual statements by H. J. Eysenck, Arthur R. Jensen, Joseph R. Royce, and Robert J. Sternberg, who represent markedly different approaches to the measurement of intelligence. It also focuses on contexts in which the limits of assessment by psychological tests are defined: in minority native groups in North America, in migrants to Britain, in lower-caste enclaves in India, among African minorities, and among Australian Aborigines. Written by long-term residents of the regions in question, these chapters presented a wealth of fresh data in relation to Western formulations of theory and practice.
A genealogical dictionary of our early colonists. Every volume shows three generations of those who came before 1692. Although more than a century has elapsed since the publication of this monumental work, it remains the standard to our day. We do not mean that new information has not been unearthed or that the work is free from errors, but Savage had just the peculiar qualifications necessary. He was so persistent in gathering data and so conservative in his use of them, that a statement made on his authority bears great weight. This work has the whole of New England for its field. This is volume 3, covering the surnames K - R.
