I always believed that their environment could easily influence a person, but they must decide whether that environment is temporary or permanent. Adjustment -to environmental changes may not be necessary if the environment is temporary, nor may they be advisable. If changes in an environment are permanent, adjustment will have to be made to accommodate those changes. When an environment returns to normal, then the influences created by a temporary environment, must also return to normal. The story moves from the ordinary to the adventurous, as each major character exits the group mode and become individuals, exerting their gifts and talents for their own benefit. They become victims or beneficiaries of the influences of a new or different environment. One day, it could be you!

Long before the arrival of the twenty-four-hour pharmacy, folk healers took care of aches, pains, and sniffles with home-grown remedies. Hidden in their kitchens, they had their own bag of tricks used for centuries to treat what ailed them. Growing up, Clementine Holmes Bass learned about many of these home cures from her beloved aunt Dollie, a woman whose wits and wisdom profoundly impacted the author's life. Some of her best days were spent in Aunt Dollie's kitchen, laughing and learning about her friends, family, and ancestors. Clementine shares some of her late aunt's best advice, as an entertaining look at how things were once done. Aunt Dollie advocated the use of commonly found ingredients such as sulphur powder, molasses, mustard plasters, onion, and even turpentine. Clementine, however, does not advocate that these remedies be mistaken for actual medical advice. She shares this information more as a humorous glance back at simpler times, not as a handbook for modern injuries and sicknesses-and she isn't recommending these techniques for your use. Instead, she offers Dollie's extensive collection of recipes, tips, and advice for entertainment, amusement, and historical value.Alongside Aunt Dollie's contributions, Clementine also shares some treasures she learned from her Choctaw ancestors and the senior citizens of Cleveland County, Arkansas. Some of these "cures" are practical-and others will boggle your mind!

In 2057, when the world is starved of oil and the whole globe is in the unrelenting grip of the World Council, NYCPD detective Nick Garvey has his plate murderously full, contending with: the assassination of the Vice President and four Secret Service agents; the vicious power struggle between President Lenora Allison and the Supreme Leader of the World Council, Jason Beck; the off-duty avenging of the brutalization of his estranged daughter by her live-in thug; the kidnapping of his granddaughter when he gets too close to the truth about Jason Beck's world-domination dirty tricks; and his confrontation with President Lenora Allison which leads to their joint setup in front of a firing squad; but other than that...

This tiny record of a historical event in our history is what Fish Culture in Yellowstone National Park is all about. Frank H. Tainter's father, uncles, and grandfather; all worked on fish culture details for the former U.S. Bureau of Fisheries in the park during the teens and 1920s. Their experiences provided the inspiration for this book. Frank never worked in the park on the fish culture program. He never would have been able to write this history if his father had not taken many photo snapshots of his experiences there. As a retired scientist, Frank tried to include as many references and resources credits as possible so that future readers and users could find more related materials. This book is intended as a sort of "in the trenches" record of a historical event and secondly for itsentertainment value.
