The Viewing Room: How Journalists Prepare for and Respond to Witnessing Executions discusses the need for individual and organizational journalism training on coping with trauma exposure and providing support after being exposed to trauma, specifically as it pertains to the aftermath of witnessing and covering executions. The United States executed 46 people in 2010. At least one journalist witnessed each of the deaths. Thirty-three of those journalists were interviewed for this book. They witnessed an electrocution, firing squad death or a lethal injection, with some having witnessed more than one execution that year by the time they were interviewed. Kenna R. Griffin argues that support be...
BOOK II: Tamsen yearns to complete his Masterwork on the lute, and present it to the love of his life, but he is a Rider now, and the Winds, demons from the Wastes, are rising. Wounded, he survives his first battle with the demons, but other evils are active in the kingdom. Kagan Morric escapes imprisonment by faking his own death, and regains his use of Mage Gift. His plan to gain the throne by orchestrating a convenient "accident" is ruined when the untimely death of King Cedric leaves Kagan's line further from succession. His next plot, more bloody and direct, is thwarted by Tamsen himself. Kagan escapes and flees, but leaves in place the seeds for his eventual return and rise to power. The only obstacle in his path is Linnet, the Queen's powerful mind healer and Tamsen's betrothed.
Volume 2, dedicated to Barry Hawthorne, presents papers concerned with the genesis of eclogites, the mineralogy of diamond and its inclusions, exploration methods for kimberlite, the geochemistry of the upper mantle and the character of cratons.

A stranger, rumored to be a heroin addict, repeatedly breaks into the small-town library Brett Ann Stanciu runs. After she tries to get law enforc...
There are at least 48 identified prehistoric stone circles in Scotland. In truth, very little is known about the people who erected them, and ultimately about what the stone circles were for. Most stone circles are astronomically aligned, which has led to the modern debate about why the alignment was significant. The megaliths certainly represented an enormous co-operative effort, would at the very least have demonstrated power and wealth, and being set away from any dwellings probably served a ceremonial, or perhaps religious, purpose. Observations at the site of the stone circles, of solar, lunar, and stellar events, have already cast light on some of the questions about the construction a...
