In 1871, Betsey Williams, a descendant of Roger Williams, founder of Providence, Rhode Island, willed her family''s 102-acre farm to the city. One year later, the park added a small collection of animals, creating Roger Williams Park Zoo, the third-oldest zoo in the country. As the animal collection developed, so too did the landscape of Roger Williams Park, with the entire collection eventually becoming consolidated into a localized area within the park, forming what is today known as Roger Williams Park Zoo. Owned by the City of Providence and operated by the Rhode Island Zoological Society, the zoo celebrated its 150th birthday in 2022. In that time, the zoo has welcomed multiple generations of local families and has attracted visitors from around the world, joining in the zoo''s mission to protect wildlife and wild places. Through its diverse animal collection, groundbreaking educational programs, and spectacular nighttime events, Roger Williams Park Zoo continues to push toward the future while reflecting fondly on its past. Leigh Picard is the manager of interpretation and graphics at Roger Williams Park Zoo and has been in the guest service field for over 30 years. Susan Ring is an award-winning author with over 100 books under her belt and is the former manager of interpretation at Roger Williams Park Zoo.

Addresses issues surrounding a Presidential election including media, ballot issues, liberal and conservative viewpoints, election budgets, travel, and campaigning.

@page { margin: 2cm } p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } a:link { color: #0000ff } This collection of poems by Susan Ring portrays a full and rewarding life, marred by bouts of severe depression. Susan struggled with this depression for most of her life, each outbreak disrupting an otherwise stable and successful career—as first anxiety then the inevitable despair would take hold. Her poems plot the course of these struggles—to weather the storm—as the tumult would take over, usually leading to determined attempts to take her own life, followed by a slow, painful and precarious recovery. The collection was sensitively edited and compiled by Julian Abraham—from a pile of handwritten manuscripts handed to him by her former husband, Jim—following her latest, fatal journey into despair during 2014. The hope is that Susan’s poetry will bring some support and comfort to fellow sufferers by knowing they are not alone on their journey, and inform friends and families of individuals similarly weathering the storm. Each year, all book profits will be donated to a charity having a similar aim.

"In this cutting-edge work, neuropsychologist Dr. Susan Andrews shows why too much stress during pregnancy can increase the risk of childhood problems--and how you can stay in balance and boost your baby''s potential with simple, effective stress solutions. Pregnancy is a delicate time for you and your baby, and what your body experiences while you are expecting can affect your child for years to come. Emerging new evidence, for example, is now linking too much stress during pregnancy to a higher risk for childhood emotional, physical, and behavioral problems, including preterm birth, ADHD, and learning disabilities. In fact, as Stress Solutions for Pregnant Moms shows, managing stress could be just as important to your child''s health as avoiding smoking and alcohol while pregnant. Not all stress, of course, is bad. The problem comes when we fail to recognize that the buildup of pressure and tension is tipping us into a danger zone. In her groundbreaking book--the first of its kind--Dr. Susan Andrews provides effective and easy-to-use solutions to help pregnant women everywhere quickly measure and gently manage their stress levels"--Publisher''s description.
