1961, St. Croix River, Minnesota. Philip Brandes has everything. The foremost lumber, oil, and export tycoon in the world, he has an adoring-forgiving-wife, beautiful children, business partners he trusts with his life. And immense wealth. Until tragedy strikes. Rewind to the beginning of the Brandes empire. A young immigrant, Val Brandes, wants his piece of the Industrial Revolution and a better life for his family. With no experience, the logging industry is his best bet, and Val soon becomes co-founder of Brandes & Olsen Lumber. As life becomes overwhelming, Val is willing to do whatever it takes to remain on top-a trait that Philip will inherit-which may be the key to solving an attempted murder. Croix is a riveting portrayal of the consequences of Val''s actions. Author Jay Johnson details the lengths to which one family has gone to remain on top, only to be faced with one question: Was it worth it?

How to pick select window companies (in advance) so you''re not wasting time with ones you wouldn''t do business with anyway! How to control the presentation so it benefits (you)! Relevant questions (you) need to ask and why! What (you) need to see and why! How to know which companies have the best windows! Most importantly save you time, money, and frustration!

Being Responsible is No Accident If you''ve ever thought about getting a firearm and you want to avoid the inherent pitfalls of going about it the wrong way, then this is a Must Have book. There are many things the average person doesn''t realize when considering the purchase a firearm, so like most things in life; "could have", "would have", "should have" can easily be avoided. You can either learn from someone else''s mistakes and experience or learn from your own, but it''s a much shorter path and much less expensive when you know what to do, what not to do, and realistic expectations are laid out for you, and that''s what this book is designed to do. In any of the books I''ve ever written my writing style is not "sugar coating" the material within. I''ve written this book in a manner as if you were my best friend or family member, these are the things I''d want you to know. I like writing books that teach people how to do things more efficiently, effectively, and safely without having to make major life altering changes or drain their bank account in the process.

Concerns about increasing student persistence through understanding engagement led to a study based on the identification of NSSE socialization clusters that predict private Midwestern college persistence. Looking at engagement in context of social constructivism, supportive literature highlights relationships among engagement, persistence, and demographic variables. Archival data were retrieved from the college under study for this quantitative, pre-experimental, post-post comparison. The dependent variable is engagement measured by two NSSE Benchmarks; 1) Student-Faculty Interaction and 2) Supportive Campus Environment. The independent variables are persistence, gender, athletic status, and legacy status. Covariates for the study are ACT or SAT standardized test scores and high school grade point averages. Descriptive summary analysis, four-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and discriminant analysis found main and interaction effects of engagement and NSSE variable clusters within the four independent variables. Student interaction with faculty was found to be an indicator of engagement and persistence. The college under study must provide opportunities for faculty to be more socially involved with students.
