The Jacobite Rising of 1715 and the Murray Family

A look at one of the most influential aristocratic families in Scottish history and their role in eighteenth-century politics. Based in Perthshire, the Murray family played an important role in all Jacobite rebellions, whether as rebels or supporters of the government.

Bacteria and mold may lurk undetected in carpets or in the heating or cooling system of your office or school. When inhaled, the by-products of these organisms can cause allergy and asthma symptoms. Chemical vapors emitted by office furniture and equipment may also foul the air we breathe indoors, causing headaches, eye irritation, or other symptoms. Here the author of the best-selling My House Is Killing Me! and co-author of The Mold Survival Guide turns his attention to indoor air quality in public buildings. Blending his extensive professional experience with scientific explanations, May helps us see these buildings through the eyes of a building scientist, microscopist, and organic chemist. He offers a step-by-step approach to identifying, controlling, and often eliminating the sources of indoor air pollutants and allergens. Whether it's a case of mold in an elementary school or inadequate ventilation in a high-rise office building, this valuable guide can help people cope when the air they breathe indoors is making them sick.

Horror descends on the small town of Ashley Springs, Arkansas, when the slaughter of some of its most respected business men begins. Amy Bordeaux, owner of an antique shop, discovers the body of the second victim. She has a precognitive flash of another murder not yet committed. Amy is unable to convince Sheriff Frank Morgan of the validity of her vision. Another man is murdered exactly as she "saw" it. Frank, who knew all three victims as young men, believes that past events in their lives have come back to haunt them. He secretly thinks that Amy's precognition is real, and is afraid she will identify the killer before he can make an arrest. Frank decides to confront the person he believes to be guilty. Later, his deputies report him missing. Amy, desperate to stop both the visions and the killings, has begun her own investigation. She is unaware that the killer is watching her every move. When she stumbles upon the sheriff's body in a most unexpected place, Amy is forced to accept the unacceptable when the killer stands before her. She literally runs for her life.
