A thousand hands shaped its banks and a thousand ships have traversed the waters of a canal that defined a region. The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal has both provided an important route between the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays and acted as a secondary and unofficial boundary between the North and South. Yet this historic waterway almost failed before the first shovel struck earth in 1804. Local historian David Berry tells the fascinating story of the C&D Canal, from the tenacious Gilpin family''s sixty-year struggle to open the shipway to the canal''s role in the Civil War as a vital path for Union troops and supplies to quickly cross the Delmarva and travel down the Chesapeake.

Thomas Pfeiffer, a man with a name and no memory wakes up in a rustic farmhouse tied to a bed and surrounded by people who urge him that he must help them. Unable to understand how and wanting to ask, he is assaulted by unseen voices that cry out in his mind and threaten to fracture the integrity of his sanity. To escape these voices, he travels to different times in the checkered history of Debouton "Boonetown" Alabama. He follows the Boones and an entity referred to as "The Piper" and finds himself confronted by elements of the supernatural. He also discovers that these "travels" are not dreams in the traditional sense and that he has the power to change that particular part of the past he inhabits. As each new piece is uncovered he comes to the realization that the Piper has an agenda, and time is wasting. Will Thomas Pfeiffer be able to put the pieces together and find what he has to do before the Time of Reckoning is at hand? Time, existence, and his sanity hang in the balance.

The town of Stoughton was an agricultural community that transformed in the early 19th century into a booming shoe industry. Later known for high-quality rubber-made goods, ladies shoes, sporting goods, and screw machine products, this community has continued to evolve with growing industry and technology into the 21st century. The images in Stoughton show many familiar town landscapes and buildings and some that have passed on into the pages of history. The dirt roads and trolley tracks of the townas past come alive in penny postcards, and images of factories, schools, churches, Stoughton square, and historic Glen Echo Park illustrate Stoughtonas rich history. Many of these postcards have been selected from the authoras personal postcard collection.

From the renowned author of the New York Times best seller The Sibley Guide to Birds, a comprehensive, beautifully illustrated guide to identifying birds in the field. Sibley''s Birding Basics is an essential companion for birders of all skill and experience levels. With Sibley as your guide, learn how to interpret what the feathers, the anatomical structure, the sounds of a bird tell you. When you know the clues that show you why there’s no such thing as, for example, “just a duck” birding will be more fun, and more meaningful. An essential addition to the Sibley shelf! The Sibley Guide to Birds and The Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior are both universally acclaimed as the new standard source of species information. And now David Sibley, America’s premier birder and best-known bird artist, turns his attention to the general characteristics that influence the appearance of all birds, unlocking the clues to their identity. In 200 beautifully rendered illustrations and 16 essays, this scientifically precise volume distills the essence of Sibley’s own experience and skills, providing a solid introduction to “naming” the birds. Birding Basics reviews how one can get started as a birder—the equipment necessary, where and when to go birding, and perhaps most important, the essential things to look for when birds appear in the field—as well as the basic concepts of bird identification and the variations that can change the appearance of a bird over time or in different settings. Sibley also provides critical information on the aspects of avian life that differ from species to species: feathers (color, arrangement, shape, molt), behavior and habitat, and sounds.

When Jake and Daniel accidentally fell in the river while camping in Alaska, they regained consciousness and thought things did not look right. As their trip unfolded they suspected they might not be in their world anymore. Things just weren’t adding up. Jake was blind before he went into the water and now could see. Not only that, he had some very mysterious powers. They needed answers and wanted to find a way home. Maybe Swin the warrior could help? Their guide Don Gaither was right behind them, could he save the brothers? They would find out while meeting some very interesting characters along the way. What they didn’t know is that they had arrived in the middle of a species war. Wartindale the Human Magician was trying to commit genocide on all species that were not human. It was up to Trillton the Elf Magician and Keeper of the Books to make sure this didn’t happen. He knew the three humans from another world could be the answer but he hoped it was not too late. It was already too late for the Lavender Fairy Tree and its fairies. The political system had let them down and it was up to Trillton to reform it for this beautiful world and its species. Could this unlikely band of strangers save a world from going into a dark era that some species would never recover from? This adventure combines the world of fantasy and reality while sending some very strong political and moral messages. Forbidden love intertwines with an action packed and fun adventure for everyone. These two worlds collide and make a tale never told before.

This book contains three very different tales, all depicting the struggle and hardships of the world, (an abyss that is all too easy to fall into, and all too easy to find, but never easy to crawl out of.) What I offer in these pages are the hearts and souls of our fellow man, and a glimpse of how fragile we really are. First Ill take you into the past, on a fast paced ride of drama, romance and revenge. Then, a present day nightmarish trip through dark and dreadful places that blacken the very spirit of the human condition, keeping you awake at night, afraid to close your eyes in that you may find yourself envisioning the terrors that can stir the very soul. But, what the future holds can whisk you away to a world where mankind faces the most dreaded fear of all, extinction. So join me now as I carry you through the past, present and future, and experience the magic and mystery of the one thing that connects all three stories in a mystical way that can only be conceived in our wildest imagination; a medallion that somehow finds its way into all three eras, ruining lives, breeding the unholy and fathering creation. Prepare to journey into The Past, Present and Further More.

The author of Getting Things Done makes recommendations for altering one''s perspectives in order to see life as a game that can be won, offering suggestions for handling information overload, achieving focus, and trusting oneself while making decisions. 125,000 first printing.

getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes. The metaphor of the stress-free mind as a still pond encapsulates the message of David Allen''s best-selling book. When a stone is thrown into a pond, the size of the ripples correspond to the size of the stone. Allen points out that the essence of stress-free living is getting the ripples of your mind to correspond with the size of the tasks on your to-do list. But you don''t reach Allen''s placid pond via a quiet, Zen-like path. Instead, you calm the waters of your mind by building and maintaining a rigid organizational system that''s so efficient that you never have to worry about any task once it''s been fed into the machine. The popularity of this book probably owes as much to the stress level of the book-buying public as it does to the level of innovation to be found in Allen''s method of organization. Often, the actual time-management techniques that Allen offers can get lost in fancy jargon and fall short of his general observations about stress, productivity and the mind. But getAbstract recommends this manual for a productive life to anyone looking for help in dealing with stress and an overheating to-do list you''re sure to end up with a fresh approach or two in your in-box.

Through their thoughtful and accurate balance of developmental, clinical-diagnostic, and experimental approaches to child and adolescent psychopathology, Eric Mash and David Wolfe''s ABNORMAL CHILD PSYCHOLOGY remains the most authoritative, scholarly book in today''s abnormal child psychology market. Appropriate for novice and expert alike, this book traces the developmental course of each disorder and shows how biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors interact with a child''s environment. Since one of the best ways to introduce students to a particular problem of childhood or adolescence is to first describe a real child, the authors begin each chapter with engaging first-person accounts and case histories of a child with a particular disorder. This child is then referred to throughout the entire chapter, illustrating the categorical and dimensional approaches used to describe disorders, as well as bringing life to the theories Mash and Wolfe present. Embracing today''s world with leading-edge coverage of the DSM-IV-TR and dimensional approaches to classification, Mash and Wolfe''s comprehensive introduction covers many topics: evidence-based assessment and treatment, contemporary research and cutting-edge theories related to the predominantly inattentive ADHD subtype, early-onset and the developmental propensity model of conduct disorder, the triple vulnerability model of anxiety, the tripartite model in children, depression, and autism.
