Selden Allen McMeans, M.D.

An Honorable Man-the Great Nevada Hoax

By: Jane McMeans

The settling of the West is the stuff of American legend—pioneers and Gold Rush hopefuls, soldiers and farmers, villains and visionaries. Selden Allen McMeans was a real-life hero of the developing West, and this fascinating biography pays tribute to a man of impeccable ethics and exceptional talents. Born in 1806, McMeans trained with a local country doctor and gained enough expertise to qualify as an Army surgeon, the highest rank for physicians in the military. At the end of the Mexican war, he joined the boom in California and became one of the first two doctors to arrive in El Dorado County, the hub of the Gold Rush. He established a chapter of Aesculapius to identify qualified doctors so that the miners would receive competent care. In California, McMeans became active in politics and was elected to the State Legislature for 1852, and elected state treasurer in 1854. But despite McMeans’ best efforts, he became embroiled in a political and financial scandal. Become immersed in frontier life, learn the truth of “The Great Nevada Hoax,” and appreciate the life and work of a great doctor, politician, and philanthropist as this book takes you on a fantastic adventure.

The Genus Rhipicephalus (Acari, Ixodidae)

A Guide to the Brown Ticks of the World

By: Jane B. Walker,James E. Keirans,Ivan G. Horak

Ticks in the genus Rhipicephalus include many important vectors of animal and human pathogens, but many species are notoriously difficult to identify, particularly as immature stages. This reference volume provides identification keys for adult ticks from the Afrotropical regions and elsewhere. For the nymphs and larvae, unique plates have been compiled in which line drawings of the capitula of similar species are grouped together to facilitate identification. Brief well-illustrated descriptions of the known stages of every species are given, plus information on their hosts, distribution, and disease relationships. Tables providing data on host/parasite relationships and disease transmission are also included, making this the definitive reference source on this group for all those interested in acarology, veterinary or medical parasitology and entomology for many years to come.

Plain Jane 2

By: Jane Coma

Plain Jane 2 was produced and written for the readers. The author endured more abuse in one lifetime than anyone should be exposed to. Jane wants her readers to know and understand that if she can fight for her freedom, then so can they. She came to this country and was left stranded with three children—no home, no food, no job, and not a single English word in her vocabulary. While her eldest son was kept from her back home by her controlling mother-in-law, she raised her other children without a dime of public assistance or child support. She worked three jobs for a long time, saving money to eventually buy a home for her children and fight tooth and nail to reunite with her estranged son who she left as a child and reunited with as an adult. Finally she saw light at the end of tunnel, but her freedom was never free.
