This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850).

This handbook presents a diverse range of effective treatment approaches for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Paintings from art history, but also photographs and snippets from film and TV. That's what our world view is made up of." Eitel captures everyday gestures and situations, then uses them to investigate the relationship between man, nature and public space in his paintings.
