For Love of the Land

The Legacy of Mildred Kanipe

By: Lois Christiansen Eagleton

Mildred Kanipe was a strong-willed woman with set ideas. Nobody told her what to do or how to do it. When they tried, she just smiled and said, "That's interesting," and went ahead and did it her way. Mildred carried a pistol-except when she was at home on the ranch. There she carried a .30-30 rifle. She never married, and except for an occasional hired hand she ran her almost 1,100 acre ranch by herself. All who knew her agree she was an unforgettable character. When she died she left her beloved ranch-the part her family had owned and farmed for over one-hundred years and that she had purchased with her own hard work-to the people of Douglas County Oregon for a park. This is the story of Mildred, the history of the land she loved, and the people who came before and after her.

Nomad

A Year In the Life of a Qashqa'i Tribesman in Iran

By: Lois Beck

During 1970 to 1971, Borzu and his people were faced with many difficulties. When the expected winter rains did not fall, pastures and crops shriveled. Unable to sell their starving livestock for any profit, Borzu's people saw their debts to urban merchants and moneylenders increase. At the same time, Iran exercised more bureaucratic control over the Qashqa'i by applying new policies over migratory schedules and the allocation of scarce pastures, and by introducing non-Qashqa'i agriculturalists and livestock investors as legitimate land users. All these measures threatened the nomad's way of life and eventually undermined the role of headmen such as Borzu. Lois Beck details the vicissitudes endured by Borzu's people and the strategies he devised to cope with them.

Gallows Hill

By: Lois Ruby

Salem, Massachusetts - 1692 Thomas is marked as an outcast the moment he steps off the ship from England. As a Quaker, he’s outnumbered and distrusted by Salem’s Puritans. And as an orphan without any useful skills, he has nowhere to live and no way to earn his keep. In a stroke of luck—perhaps good, perhaps not—he’s taken in by the aged widow Prudence Blevins, who’s rumored to be a witch. Patience has tried all her life to be a good Puritan—obedient to God and to her elders—and all her life, she has come up short. But her orderly world is upended when her younger sister, Abigail, falls victim to a mysterious affliction. The same torments have stricken other Salem girls, who claim they’re being bewitched by servants of the Devil. Soon the girls, including Abigail, begin accusing neighbors of witchcraft. As the community becomes consumed by suspicion and fear, Thomas and Patience search for the truth. To protect those they care about, they will have to question everything they think they know: their faiths, their loyalties, and their places in Salem.

Torn Covenants

By: Lois Swann

TORN COVENANTS, sequel to THE MISTS OF MANITTOO, in THE DOWLAND TRILOGY, is the moving story of Elizabeth Dowland and Wakwa Manunnappu, her Native American husband, striving to build a life together in a world bent on tearing them apart. It is 1748. Elizabeth is now living in the Massachuseuck town with Wakwa and his other wife, Qunneke. Wakwas mythic march north to secure peace with the northern tribes and Elizabeths efforts to teach the skill of weaving to the Massachuseuck women result in betrayal and injury. Overcoming mortal dangers and succeeding in protecting Beths vast land inheritance with sanction by the British Crown bring the red and white families ever closer. Heroic efforts to hold the marriage together cannot stop the reach of conspiracy. TORN COVENANTS is a story of love and the labor of birthing a nation.

Soon Be Free

By: Lois Ruby

I ask you, why do weird things always happen to me? Thirteen-year-old Dana Shannon is no stranger to intrigue. Not long ago she discovered a skeleton behind a wall in her family's house -- a house in Lawrence, Kansas, that was once owned by a Quaker family, the Weavers. The diary Dana found in the sealed-off room revealed that the skeleton belonged to a runaway slave named Lizbeth Charles. Now Dana's house is a newly refurbished bed-and-breakfast, and the first guests are two shady characters who believed the house is hiding another secret. When Dana gets in their way, she becomes embroiled in a second mystery, this one involving slaves and the Weavers again, and -- somehow - Delaware Indians. As Dana tried to fit the puzzle pieces together, alternate chapters tell the story of James Baylor Weaver, a thirteen-year-old boy, in 1857. It is up to James to fulfill a promise Lizbeth made before her death. He must travel hundreds of miles to retrieve four slaves and bring them to freedom. The journey will test his strength, endurance, and courage; it will also test his character, when he has to make a terrible choice... Readers of Soon Be Free will quickly be caught up in this fast-paced mystery-adventure that links teenagers from two different centuries.

Embracing Life

Living with Chronic Pain

By: Lois Pike

Embracing Life--Living With Chronic Pain is about living life to the fullest and is especially directed to those who suffer from: Cancer, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression, Fibromyalgia, Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis, or any other disease involving chronic pain on a daily basis. It is based on a one-year journey dealing with these very issues. What makes Embracing Life unique and separate from many other books is that it is written in the form of light poetry, which most readers can easily relate to. Readers are encouraged to maintain their own personal journals, which they can refer to after reading the writer's thoughts for any given day. Thus, it can be read at any juncture and re-read many times. The writer's desire is to involve the reader in their own private journey involving chronic pain, be it physical, emotional, or a combination of both. There are many options open in dealing with chronic pain, and the author provides her own unique perspective along this journey. Although there are many books written by Doctors who treat chronic pain, Embracing Life offers the personal perspective of a real patient living with daily chronic pain and her way to manage the same. "You have found meaning and purpose through your pain and there are people around who want to read and hear what you have to say"--Louis Donne, Connecticut Community Care, Inc.; "I think you should do speaking engagements based on Embracing Life, you are uniquely suited, I honor you"--Lynnea Brinkerhoff, working in concert with John Scherer, Scherer Center; and "This is truly a work of heart"--Christa Donati, Donati Construction Company.

Noback's Human Nervous System, Seventh Edition

Structure and Function

By: Norman L. Strominger,Robert J. Demarest,Lois B. Laemle

With this seventh edition, Noback’s Human Nervous System: Structure and Function continues to combine clear prose with exceptional original illustrations that provide a concise lucid depiction of the human nervous system.

Each edition of The Human Nervous System has featured a set of outstanding illustrations drawn by premier medical artist Robert J. Demarest. Many of the figures from past editions have been modified and/or enhanced by the addition of color, which provides a more detailed visualization of the nervous system. Highly praised in its earlier versions, this new edition offers medical, dental, allied health science and psychology students a readily understandable and organized view of the bewilderingly complex awe-inspiring human nervous system. Its explanatory power and visual insight make this book an indispensable source of quick understanding that readers will consult gratefully again and again.

The Musical Brain

What Students, Teachers, and Performers Need to Know

By: Lois Svard

For centuries, poets and philosophers have written about the power of music, often suggesting that music is the essence of life itself, that music lives within us, that we are music. Scientists have dismissed these writings as flights of poetic fancy, or perhaps metaphor or artistic license. They have considered music to be a product of culture, and that's the way musicians have studied music as well. But have poets and philosophers perhaps had a better sense of the true nature of music? Have they been right all along in suggesting that music is life itself?"--
