Earth Materials
Minerals and rocks form the foundation of geologic studies. This new textbook has been written to address the needs of students at the increasing number of universities that have compressed separate mineralogy and petrology courses into a one- or two-semester Earth materials course. Key features of this book include: equal coverage of mineralogy, sedimentary petrology, igneous petrology and metamorphic petrology; copious field examples and regional relationships with graphics that illustrate the concepts discussed; numerous case studies to show the uses of earth materials as resources and their fundamental role in our lives and the global economy, and their relation to natural and human-indu...
Thrown into the Troubled Sea
Thrown into the Troubled Sea By: Patricia Summers People say, “It’s not what happens to you, but how you handle it.” Three countries, several lives, but one family. It is Patricia Summers’ past, future, and present. Just a small kid that was thrown into the sea of life; deemed at birth she would be in a children’s nursing home, but her God stepped in and had other plans for her. A team of doctors took twenty-three hours to do the surgery. One, at that time, was not done before and one was a complete success, but down through her life she was one of them, to show that the struggles in the sea do not cause you to drown, she was able to walk on the other shore, cold, wet, and shaken, but on a firm foundation, with God by her side.
Revenge on Us
One's revenge cause secrets to be revealed as it discomforts a group of dysfunctional family and friends which causes their lives to erupt. All hell breaks loose as each individual depends upon what they know to defuse a situation. As it leads to more discoveries and disbelief of the lies and truth that reveals, the tables starts to turn on everyone. The lives of the imperfect individuals will never be the same as they are hit with obstacles while trying to overcome the previous ones. As violence occurs how will they get through this pandemonium?
Taking a Chance on Love
When his friend George Gershwin persuaded Vladimir Dukelsky to change his name to Vernon Duke, what the music world already knew became apparent to the public at large—the man had two musical personas—one as a composer, the other as a tunesmith. One wrote highbrow music, the other lowbrow. Yet the two sides complemented each other. Neither could function without the other. Born and classically trained in imperial Russia, Vladimir Dukelsky (1903–1969) fled the Bolshevik Revolution with his family, discovered American popular music in cosmopolitan Constantinople, and pursued his budding interest to New York before his passion for classical music drew him to Paris, where the impresario Se...
Voices of Women Historians
The Coordinating Council for Women in History evolved from a cohort of women historians who turned their scholarly focus to the recovery of women's experiences. In so doing, they created and legitimated the field of women's history. The contributors to this volume, former CCWH officers, mark the 30th anniversary of the organization while commemorating three decades of feminist activism and scholarship. Recording the diverse paths women have taken to become historians, the essays contained in this book describe how a particular group of women negotiated the often competing demands of being a woman, a professional, and a political activist from the turbulent 1960s through the challenges of the 1990s. But beyond the celebration of personal and professional progress, this collection contributes to the emerging historiography of women's history and the literature on women in the professions. - Publisher.
