On average, three million people come to Colorado to visit Rocky Mountain National Park every year. Most return home safely, but some do not. Joseph R. Evans details the fates of the almost three-hundred people who met their demise in the park between 1884 and 2009 in the hope that their mistakes might prove instructive to future park visitors. Also included are the stories of those who made it, whether by skill and determination or just sheer luck

(You Can Start a Revolution in Your Family . . . Tonight ...)
You Can Start a Revolution in Your Family . . . Tonight ScreamFree Parenting is not just about lowering your voice. It’s about learning to calm your emotional reactions and learning to focus on your own behavior more than your kids’ behavior . . . for their benefit. Our biggest enemy as parents is not the TV, the Internet, or even drugs. Our biggest enemy is our own emotional reactivity. When we say we “lost it” with our kids, the “it” in that sentence is our own adulthood. And then we wonder why our kids have so little respect for us, why our kids seem to have all the power in the family. It’s time to do it differently. And you can. You can start to create and enjoy the types of calm, mutually respectful, and loving relationships with your kids that you’ve always craved. You can begin to revolutionize your family, starting tonight. Parenting is not about kids, it’s about parents. If you’re not in control, then you cannot be in charge. What every kid really needs are parents who are able to keep their cool no matter what. Easier said than done? Not anymore, thanks to ScreamFree Parenting, the principle-based approach that’s inspiring parents everywhere to truly revolutionize their family dynamics. Moving beyond the child-centered, technique-based approaches that ultimately fail, the ScreamFree way compels you to: focus on yourself calm yourself down, and grow yourself up By staying calm and connected with your kids, you begin to operate less out of your deepest fears and more out of your highest principles, revolutionizing your relationships in the process. ScreamFree Parenting is not just another parenting book. It’s the first parenting book that maintains—from beginning to end—that parenting is NOT about kids . . . it’s about parents. As parents pay more attention to controlling their own behavior instead of their kids’ behavior, the result is stronger, more rewarding, and more fulfilling family relationships. For those of you reading who are parents, know parents, or have had parents, the notion that the greatest thing you can do for your children is to learn to focus on yourself may sound strange, even heretical. It’s not. Here’s why: we are the only ones we can control. We cannot control our kids—we cannot control the behavior of any other human being. And yet, so many “experts” keep giving us more tools (“techniques”) to help us try to do just that. And, of course, the more we try to control, the more out of control our children become. “Don’t make me come up there.” “Don’t make me pull this car over.” “How many times do I have to tell you?” Even our language suggests that our kids have control over us. It’s no wonder that we end up screaming. Or shutting down. Or simply giving up. And the charts, refrigerator magnets, family meetings, and other techniques in most typical parenting books just don’t work. They end up making us feel more frustrated and more powerless in this whole parenting thing. This practical, effective guide for parents of all ages with kids of all ages introduces proven principles for overcoming the anxieties and stresses of parenting and setting new patterns of connection and cooperation. Well-written in an engaging, conversational tone, the book is sensible, straightforward, and based on the experiences of hundreds of actual families. It will help all parents become calming authorities in their homes, bring peace to their families today, and give kids what they need to grow into caring, self-directed adults tomorrow.

(Great scientific and technological advances in the twenti...)
Great scientific and technological advances in the twentieth century enabled American farmers to produce bountiful harvests that ensured an abundant and relatively cheap food supply. But as farmers became more productive, surplus agricultural commodities, such as grain, milk, and cotton, drove prices down. With few exceptions, farmers found it difficult to earn an adequate standard of living. These are the fundamental developments that Douglas Hurt traces in Problems of Plenty, a compact narrative history of American agriculture over the last century. Mr. Hurt shows how farm men and women increasingly looked to the federal government―for technical information to help them become more productive and more profitable; for regulation of business practices to guarantee them equitable treatment in the marketplace; for intervention in the agricultural economy to support prices and protect their income. The course of farm policy is a basic theme in Mr. Hurt’s book. He surveys the major policy changes that helped shape farming both as a business and as a way of life. Perhaps inevitably, as he points out, farmers came to depend on the federal government for a wide variety of programs they eventually regarded as entitlements. But in return the farmers lost freedom of action, because the cost of participating in federal programs was compliance with a myriad of regulations that made the government an integral part of American agriculture. As the twentieth century ended, farmers remained divided over government’s role in their lives, just as they had been for most of the century.

(Tens of thousands of people contract Legionnaires' diseas...)
Tens of thousands of people contract Legionnaires' disease each year, 5 to 30% of whom die from it within a few days. You can get the disease while showering, brushing your teeth, drinking water, washing your face, bathing in a hot tub, or walking by a decorative fountain. Legionnaires' disease is not rare. People just think it's rare because over 90% of the cases go undetected. Many deaths attributed to pneumonia are actually caused by Legionella bacteria. In simple language, Legionella expert Matt Freije explains how to avoid the disease in public places—for example, in hospitals, office buildings, and hotels—and how to reduce your risk at work, at the dentist, and from various types of equipment like misters, cooling towers, decorative fountains, hot tubs, and whirlpool bathtubs. The book starts with facts you need to know about Legionnaires' disease: causes, symptoms, susceptibility, death rate, diagnosis, undetected cases. The survivor stories in chapter 2 will make you realize how horrible the disease is, and that it can affect anyone. The last chapter tells how to avoid the disease at home. Advice is given about faucets and showers, water heaters, softeners, filters, humidifiers, and home construction.

( Job A Man of Colossal Faith in the Face of Overwhelmin...)
Job A Man of Colossal Faith in the Face of Overwhelming Tragedy Job, a study in pathetic tragedy . . . a hapless victim of unfair treatment. His disastrous circumstances overwhelmed him. His boil-covered body tormented him. His so-called friends belittled him. His distraught wife discouraged him. Even God seemed to desert him?letting Satan have his devilish way. And Job sat patiently by, enduring it all. Not a portrait of a hero. Or is it? Could a man with ordinary internal fortitude stay faithful as Job did? Could a wimp endure the excruciating pain, suffering, and loss that this man did? No hero? Think again. After a year of focused research into the life of Job, Charles Swindoll says, "Job appears boldly in the ancient book of the Bible that bears his name, and yet most of us have not taken the time to examine his life in depth. But a careful study of Job's life will convince us that this is another of God's amazing men with heroic character qualities worth emulating." Travel with Swindoll into the world of Job: A Man of Heroic Endurance. "Even if it was written in Scripture long ago, you can be sure it's written for us." So pay close attention to Job's life. Who knows what God will do next in your life?

Crimewave is an approximately biennial collection of crime and mystery stories edited by Andy Cox and published by TTA Press. It takes a unique approach to the genre and contains the kind of crime and mystery fiction you just don't find anywhere else. It picks up nothing but rave reviews. Ian Rankin calls it "A must-have collection of the hottest crime stories around." Some of its stories have won prestigious awards such as the CWA Dagger and many of them have earned reprints in Year's Best anthologies of various genres. This ninth in the series was first published in 2007. It has 12 stories and was 160 pages paperback in print. As e book it still has stories by Shelley Costa, Mick Scully, Gary W. Shockley, Ron Savage, Susan Overcash Walker, Scott William Carter, Daniel Bennett, Ian R. Faulkner, Robert Weston, Kevin Prufer, Scott Nicholson and John Shirley Sam Tomaino’s review on Gumshoe (www.gumshoereview.com/php/Review-id.php?id=323) concluded “Crimewave is a digest-sized magazine of exceptional quality and well worth subscribing to.” A longer quote from reviewer Sam Tomaino's verdict in Gumshoe; “Crimewave is published by TTA Press, the same folks that publish Interzone (science fiction/fantasy) and The 3rd Alternative/Black Static (horror). From reading issue #9, it is up to the standards of those publications. All the stories here got, at least, a Very Good from me and two were exceptional.” Contents Blue Morpho by Shelley Costa The Night of the Great Wind by Mick Scully The Rainbow Killer by Gary W.

Feagin and Cobas provide the first in-depth examination of the everyday racism faced by middle-class Latinos. Based on a national survey, we learn how a diverse group of talented Latinos Mexican Americans, Puerto Rican Americans, Cuban Americans, and others respond to and cope with the commonplace white racial framing and discriminatory practices. Drawing on extensive interviewing, the authors address the recurring discrimination of ordinary whites directed against Spanish speakers and individuals with presumed Latino phenotypes. These incidents occur in everyday encounters, such as when male and female Latinos travel or shop. The book also chronicles the mistreatment that Latinos face from immigration officials when they cross US borders and from the police when they are racially profiled outside Latino areas. Critical and conforming Latino responses to recurring white discrimination are also extensively examined, as well as the diverse Latino reactions to remedial programs like affirmative action and to the ideal of assimilation into the proverbial US melting pot.

There is an alternate version that tracks the movements of the series’ protagonists throughout their vast world, along with more detailed versions of the western, middle, and eastern thirds of the world; a full map of Westeros, combining North and South; one of the Dothraki Sea and the Red Wastes; and the Braavos city map. And here, too, are fan favorites detailing everything from urban sprawl to untamed wilds: maps of King’s Landing; The Wall and Beyond the Wall; the Free Cities; and Slaver’s Bay, Valyria, and Sothyros. Never before has the entire scope of Martin’s universe been so exhaustively and fascinatingly depicted. The maps in this beautiful, one-of-a-kind collection will enrich your reading or viewing experience, provide another view of your favorite characters’ epic journeys, and open up captivating new worlds—plus, they’ll look great on any castle wall.

(Heart disease is the western world's # 1 killer. Heart di...)
Heart disease is the western world's # 1 killer. Heart disease causes more deaths than all forms of cancer, infections and accidents combined. Yet, nearly all heart disease is preventable. Dr. Sauvage shows the reader how to do just that. It includes specific prevention techniques for every person, such as the 5 cardinal rules for heart healthy living, and the Better Life Diet - with a 7-day menu plan. A description of You Can Beat Heart Disease: Prevention and Treatment is best stated through the endorsers: "Dr. Sauvage has prepared the most comprehensive yet understandable book for the education patients with vascular disease that I have ever seen. It contains a wealth of information that is beautifully illustrated and presented with the upbeat, common sense approach for which he is so well known. -Dr. Norman R. Hertzer, Cleveland Clinic. "Just take 70 seconds and read the five cardinal rules for heart-healthy living and add five to ten high quality years to your life." -Dr. Peter Gloviczki, Mayo Clinic. "This book could serve as an excellent source of good information for any layman interested in cardiovascular disease. More importantly, it is exactly what patients need to help them understand what their doctors tell them. This book will be of inestimable value to great numbers of patients whose doctors don't have the time to get their well-intentioned but often inadequate explanations across to them. You Can Beat Heart Disease will go a long way to help patients overcome fear and become successful, active, informed participants in their own care." -Dr. Wiley Barker, UCLA "This is a gem of a book. Clearly written and profusely illustrated, it sustains an easy and informative approach, in terms that can be well understood . . . All Americans should read this book." -Dr. David Robinson, NIH. "Two features struck me as particularly noteworthy. First, there is a profusion of simple but accurate line drawings to illustrate every detail suitable for pictorial representation. Perhaps even more impressively, the last chapter is a seldom seen, extraordinary summary of the spiritual values of what used to be called the art of healing..." -Dr. D. Emerick Szilagyi, U. Michigan, Founding Editor, Journal of Vascular Surgery "Dr. Lester Sauvage. . . is more than a pioneering surgeon; he is a visionary physician who addresses not only the causes and prevention of heart disease, but also the soul of his patients." -Dr. Dean Ornish.

Feagin and Cobas provide the first in-depth examination of the everyday racism faced by middle-class Latinos. Based on a national survey, we learn how a diverse group of talented Latinos Mexican Americans, Puerto Rican Americans, Cuban Americans, and others respond to and cope with the commonplace white racial framing and discriminatory practices. Drawing on extensive interviewing, the authors address the recurring discrimination of ordinary whites directed against Spanish speakers and individuals with presumed Latino phenotypes. These incidents occur in everyday encounters, such as when male and female Latinos travel or shop. The book also chronicles the mistreatment that Latinos face from immigration officials when they cross US borders and from the police when they are racially profiled outside Latino areas. Critical and conforming Latino responses to recurring white discrimination are also extensively examined, as well as the diverse Latino reactions to remedial programs like affirmative action and to the ideal of assimilation into the proverbial US melting pot.

Imagine yourself lying in your bed. The morning sun is just peeking through your window. Along with the sun, you hear the melodious song of birds chirping their “good mornings” to each other --- and to you! Have you ever wondered what those birds looked like? Why they are close enough for you to hear? What interesting characteristics they have about them? Bird watching is a sport that has been around for years. In fact, today, bird watching is the second fastest growing hobby in America, bested only by gardening. A whole new language has emerged along with it. Those in the know also refer to bird watching simply as “birding” and the people who do it as “birders.”People of all ages enjoy seeking out the birds of their region, watching them in their natural habitat, and enjoying the songs they have to offer. Birds can be fascinating creatures with much to offer those who care to study their lives. Much can be learned from where they roost, how they fly, and what they sing. We can even go so far as to say that watching birds can reveal things about nature and the beauty that exists in nature. Enjoy your ebook "Happy Birding!"

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

(Wall Street is an unending source of legend--and nightmar...)
Wall Street is an unending source of legend--and nightmares. It is a universal symbol of both the highest aspirations of economic prosperity and the basest impulses of greed and deception. Charles R. Geisst's Wall Street is at once a chronicle of the street itself--from the days when the wall was merely a defensive barricade built by Peter Stuyvesant--and an engaging economic history of the United States, a tale of profits and losses, enterprising spirits, and key figures that transformed America into the most powerful economy in the world. The book traces many themes, like the move of industry and business westward in the early 19th century, the rise of the great Robber Barons, and the growth of industry from the securities market's innovative financing of railroads, major steel companies, and Bell's and Edison's technical innovations. And because "The Street" has always been a breeding ground for outlandish characters with brazen nerve, no history of the stock market would be complete without a look at the conniving of ruthless wheeler-dealers and lesser known but influential rogues. This updated edition covers the historic, almost apocalyptic events of the 2008 financial crisis and the overarching policy changes of the Obama administration. As Wall Street and America have changed irrevocably after the crisis, Charles R. Geisst offers the definitive chronicle of the relationship between the two, and the challenges and successes it has fostered that have shaped our history.

(Chicago P.D., Homicide is broken up into four individual ...)
Chicago P.D., Homicide is broken up into four individual stories with a through line that unites them. No other family in the history of America has provided more solace to the surviving family members of homicide victims than the Morris family of Chicago which has furnished their fair city with four continuous generations of excellent and dedicated homicide detectives. In the first part of this four-part novel which is titled, "A Near Miss," homicide detective James Morris attempts to unravel the mysteries behind the prohibition era St. Valentine's Day Massacre. During his investigation, however, James learns more than cares to know about the widespread corruption which is all-encompassing during the years that Al Capone holds sway over the city of Chicago. "The Dumpster," is a gripping account of a nineteen fifties series of homicides that pits detective Peter Morris against a serial killer who has been practicing his evil craft on the North side of Chicago for months on end. "Dead and Covered up," is an intriguing narrative that takes place during the nineteen nineties that details the trials and tribulations of Detective Sergeant Paul Morris who must first weave his way through the maze of an incredible sub-plot before he ultimately begins to suspect that a fellow homicide detective may actually be a serial killer himself. "Vice and Virtue," is a 21st century adventure that delves deeply into the lives of some of the most brutal and violent members of the modern-day gangs that rove the city streets of Chicago where they are seemingly allowed to ply their evil trade at free will.

(This book has a distinguished legacy, having begun as the...)
This book has a distinguished legacy, having begun as the first major American textbook specifically to address complications of pregnancy. Its first edition (Medical, Surgical and Gynecologic Complications of Pregnancy, 1960) was a bellwether that focused attention on what were then nascent interfaces emerging among medicine, surgery, and obstetrics. The 6th edition concentrates on practical issues of clinical management and addresses both common and uncommon medical and surgical problems encountered during pregnancy. The book s title has varied in its previous editions, but the 6th edition has been renamed Obstetric Medicine. The change reflects the book s content more accurately and acknowledges the evolution of an emerging special interest domain. Increasingly, physicians are caring for pregnant women with acute and chronic medical conditions that require complex assessment and sophisticated care. We have tried to provide a text to help the practitioner clarify and organize some of the intricacies of such cases. The editors are an obstetrician with a longstanding interest in the management of surgical and medical complications of pregnancy and an internist-nephrologist with extensive experience in the management of medical diseases during gestation. They have assembled a group of contributors with an exceptionally broad range of backgrounds and interests, who in turn have emphasized clinical management approaches that are grounded in our understanding of pathophysiology and are functional in their attention to practical detail. KEY FEATURES New chapters addressing management of trauma, burns, liver disease, and obesity in the pregnant patient. Comprehensive coverage of common as well as uncommon conditions encountered during pregnancy. Use of logic trees and inclusion of a brief list of clinical pearls at the end of each chapter.

Meet Siobhan Quinn—Half vampire, half werewolf, and retired monster hunter. Or so she thought… Three years have passed since Quinn turned her back on Providence, Rhode Island’s seedy supernatural underbelly, walking out on Mr. B. and taking a bus headed anywhere. She hoped her escape would give her some peace from the endless parade of horrors. But a dead girl who quarrels with the moon can’t catch a break, and, on the streets of Manhattan, Quinn finds herself caught between a rock and a hard place. Again. What do you do when you’re stuck in the middle of a three-million-year-old grudge match between the ghouls and the djinn, accidentally in possession of a hellish artifact that could turn the tide of the war, all the while being hunted by depraved half-ghoul twins intent on taking the object and ushering in a terrifying Dark Age? Especially when you’ve fallen in love with the woman who got you into this mess—and you ain’t nobody’s hero…
