Marie's prayers and poems reflect her gratitude to God for life, good friends, and the love of her family; but more importantly, gratitude that she came to know God through meditation and prayer. Listening to the silent night, going within and surrendering all her cares, reaching for and touching that wondrous peace that comes after much soul-searching; Marie's pen tells a story of how God waits for you in earnest to come to Him, willing, open, contrite and humble. For when the heart and life is open to God, into them He pours His peace, His blessings, and His love. Marie's prayers and poems relate a journey that you too can take to come to know God, if you but recognize how worthy you are of the gifts that God is willing to share with you: sweet and perpetual peace, boundless joy, and unconditional love are only a few. Marie Hall-Fray began writing poems in her early teens. Today, God has inspired her to dip her pen into an inkwell that is full and overflowing with reflections of her steadfast relationship with Him. This is her first book of prayers, but she will continue being used by God to write so that the heart of every person who reads her work will be blessed. Marie was born in a nature-filled town located in Jamaica, W.I. She worked as a flight attendant for 18 years and as a manager for the famous Rose Hall Great House in Montego Bay for 3 years. Marie now resides in Florida with her husband and two children. She works as a home health contractor with the elderly and is learning many valuable things about life through their wisdom. When Marie is not working, she retreats to her beautiful flower garden because of her appreciation for nature.

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the connection between Zea mays, or corn, processing methods and certain physical identifying characteristics that are visible under magnification of charred corn from the archaeological record. Based on ethnographic research of corn processing and cooking methods for extant tribes in the Mississippi and Missouri River valleys, a series of experiments were conducted to replicate the likely processing methods employed by Oneota peoples that would produce charred corn kernels in order to duplicate what is recovered from the archaeological record. Results were then compared with the charred corn samples from the Pammel Creek (47Lc61) and Valley View (47Lc34) sites, both of which exhibit Oneota occupation and are located along the Upper Mississippi Valley in western Wisconsin. Similarities in physical identifying characteristics, namely corn kernel shape, degree of kernel distortion, and the presence or absence of corn kernel embryos, indicated that parched corn was being processed by boiling at both of these sites.

The history of the Royal Society in the nineteenth century is published as a full-length account for the first time in this book. Dr Marie Boas Hall has meticulously explored this fascinating period, using the Royal Society's own records. In 1800 the Royal Society was a leisurely club for scientists, scholars/politicians and patrons of science and learning. More important, it was a centre for improving knowledge of the natural sciences, and adviser to the Government on scientific matters. The first half of the book describes the manner of transition; the struggles and controversies among the most eminent scientists of the day. The second half concerns the emergence of the Royal Society as once again a leader of scientific opinion, as the recognised intermediary between science and Government, and as the chief advisory body to the Government. In the nineteenth century it became, in fact, the national academy of science.

"Rosa was born in a silk-making village in Lombardy, a major source of north Italian emigration. She first set foot in the United States at the Castle Garden immigrant depot on the tip of Manhattan. Her life in this country was hard, and Ets chronicles it in eloquent detail - Rosa endures a marriage at sixteen to an abusive older man, an unwilling migration to a Missouri mining town, the unassisted birth of a child, and manages to escape from a husband who tried to force her into prostitution.
