About the Book The romance novel, which is sometimes termed the romantic novel, places its primary focus on the development of a romantic relationship and love between two people. The sub-genres of the romance novel include: fantasy, historical romance, paranormal fiction, and science fiction. Romance novels existed in ancient Greece, and were also to be found in the literary fiction of the 18th and 19th centuries in the works of such authors as Samuel Richardson and Jane Austen. Also in this Book Titles that are fiction anthologies are collections of fiction works chosen by the compiler. They may be a collection of stories by different authors. Also in this Book Urban fiction is set in the urban landscape, although the genre is as much defined by socio-economic and cultural themes. Urban fiction usually has a dark backdrop, focusing on lower socio-economic characters. Themes include profanity, sex, and violence, with authors often drawing upon their own past experiences to enrich their stories.

Spirit breatheth where it will, and the Spirit of God moves souls to aspire after perfection by divers ways. One feels that he is called to higher contemplation ;another to an active life :T hou art care ful, and art troubled about many things. Both are inspired by the breath of the Holy Spirit. Many others devote themselves to both the active and the contemplative life, laboring not only for their own perfection, but also for the salvation of the neighbor ;and this is the best, the most perfect.

clergyman mathematician scientist
Joseph Bayma was born on November 9, 1816, at Ciriè, a township twelve miles northwest of Turin. During his childhood his residence was changed by his parents to Turin to insure for him a better education.
Having completed his undergraduate studies at the Jesuit College of Turin, Joseph matriculated at the Royal Academy of Turin apparently intent on specializing in medicine, the profession of his father. Very shortly, however, he abandoned this project to enter the Jesuit novitiate at Chieti in February 1832.
With an unusual combination of scientific and literary talents, Joseph Bayma wrote an epic on Columbus in ottava rima, as well as poems in Latin. When his two years of probation, his biennium in philosophy, the prescribed years of professorship in the Jesuit colleges, and his course in theology had been finished, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1847. Thereupon he spent one year in missionary work in Algiers, ministering to the bodily and spiritual welfare of the sick in the Military Hospital. Recalled to Rome by his superiors, for a short period he acted as assistant to the noted astronomer, Fr. Angelo Secchi, then the director of the Osservatorio del Collegio Romano. This position he relinquished to collaborate with Fr. Enrico Vasco in editing the monumental work, Il Ratio Studiorum adattato ai tempi presenti. In 1852 he was designated as rector of the Episcopal Seminary of Bertinoro in the Romagna. During the same year he published De studio religiosæ perfectionis excitando in three volumes.
Transferred to England in 1858, because of the religious intolerance then at its height in Italy, Bayma filled the chair of philosophy at Stonyhurst College for eleven years. In 1861 he printed for private circulation three volumes entitled Philosophia Realis. Until within a few years of his death he persisted in supplementing this work with additions and corrections. The revised copy never reached beyond the manuscript form. His chief work, Elements of Molecular Mechanics, appeared in 1866. Prof. Morgan, the mathematican, adjudged this treatise as "being a century before its time" and declared "that not seven of England's scientists were equal to understanding it. "
Bayma followed the main principles of Ruggiero Boscovich, the parent of modern dynamism, holding that physical matter is reducible to unextended points, materially and mathematically noncontinuous. These point-like structures, some attractive, some repulsive, act on each other, and that at a distance, for contact there is none, and so are bound into molecules, and these in turn into bodies. But whereas Boscovich taught that if the distance between these points is infinitesimal, they are repulsive, while, if the distance, remaining always small, is nevertheless slightly increased, the repulsive force is initially decreased, then nullified, then at still greater distances transformed into a force of attraction, Bayma, on the other hand, contended that simple elements cannot be at once attractive at greater and repulsive at lesser distances. If a given element is attractive at any distance, he urged, it will be so at all distances; and if repulsive at any distance, it will be repulsive at all distances. Hence some of the points, he held, must be inherently attractive or repulsive. Objecting to this system of Bayma, metaphysicians urge that he fails to account for the extension and inertia of matter.
In 1869 Bayma was ordered to California to aid with his talents and counsel the newly established mission of California. On his arrival in San Francisco he was installed as president of St. Ignatius College. This position he held for three years, thereafter to become professor of higher mathematics at this same institution of learning. Impaired health forced him to seek rest in the Santa Clara Valley in 1880 and here he launched out, by way of diversion, on a new work on "Cycloidal Functions. " Unable to complete these computations, he entrusted them to the Smithsonian Institution at Washington and thereafter they were reconsigned to the then director of Georgetown University Observatory. Apparently they still await publication. At about this same time Bayma brought out several elementary textbooks in mathematics. He was taken ill about the middle of January 1892, and his recovery was early despaired of; he died at Santa Clara College on February 7.
