A Confederate Soldier and His Descendants
"This military and genealogical history of Sylvester Cooper describes his twenty months at war under General Robert E. Lee, including the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and Cedar Creek."

Descendants lived in Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma and elsewhere.
The Invisible Women’s Club
Ignored. Overlooked. But they're about to prove everyone wrong... Janet Pimm is used to being invisible. 70 something, with her beloved allotment for company, she simply doesn't need anyone else. But when the local council threaten to close the allotments, Janet will do anything she can to try to save them - even enlisting the help of her irritatingly upbeat and interfering neighbour, Bev. As the two women set off on a journey together, Janet begins to realise that perhaps she isn't so happy to blend into the background after all. And that maybe there's more to Bev than she first thought. As they fight to save the place Janet loves most, both women find their voice again and no one can silence them now... A story of friendship, female lives post-menopause, community spirit and the importance of connection.

One night can alter a life forever… Emma Greene enjoys living in rural solitude with her husband and five-year-old daughter, Maggie, far away from her college students in Jackson, Virginia.

Advanced Data Analytics in Health
This book introduces readers to the methods, types of data, and scale of analysis used in the context of health. The challenges of working with big data are explored throughout the book, while the benefits are also emphasized through the discoveries made possible by linking large datasets. Methods include thorough case studies from statistics, as well as the newest facets of data analytics: data visualization, modeling and simulation, and machine learning. The diversity of datasets is illustrated through chapters on networked data, image processing, and text, in addition to typical structured numerical datasets. While the methods, types of data, and scale have been individually covered elsewhere, by bringing them all together under one “umbrella” the book highlights synergies, while also helping scholars fluidly switch between tools as needed. New challenges and emerging frontiers are also discussed, helping scholars grasp how methods will need to change in response to the latest challenges in health.
