Gifted and Talented Females Speak Out on Parental Influences and Achievement! examines how to promote female achievement. Using face-to-face interviews with eight women and scholarly research, the book explores topics such as the role of parents, teens and the growing brain, the importance of achieving, and the dilemma of being a gifted and talented female. In addition, each chapter includes recommendations for practice, study questions, and references. These chapter-by-chapter study questions and references enhance the learning experience and provide opportunities for further research.

This impeccably prepared guidebook teaches us how to find ancestors on both the Maine and New Brunswick sides of the Upper Saint John River Valley, a region that ultimately became home to the indigenous Maliseets, Acadians, French-Canadians, Irish, a few Scots, and a few (mostly English) Loyalists. The extant records of the valley (found in both local and distant archives) extend from 1792 to the 20th century, and, following his historical introduction, Mr. Findlen devotes the bulk of his narrative to an inventory of them. The researcher will find separate chapters devoted to each of the following record categories: church registers (probably the most valuable of all records), vital records, marriages, cemetery records, censuses, land records, will and probate documents, newspapers, as well as the various record repositories themselves.

This book describes the radical shift in the study of economic science; where arguing with words was replaced by reasoning with mathematical models.

Following the Glorious Revolution, the supporters of the House of Stuart, known as Jacobites, could be found throughout the British Isles. The Scottish county of Angus, or Forfarshire, made a significant contribution to the Jacobite armies of 1715 and 1745. David Dobson has compiled a list of about 900 persons--including not only soldiers but also civilians who lent crucial support to the rebellion. Arranged alphabetically, the entries always give the full name of the Jacobite, his occupation, his rank, date of service and unit (if military), and, sometimes, the individual's date of birth, the names of his parents, a specific place of origin, and a wide range of destinations to which the Jacobites fled after each of the failed insurrections.

To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the passage of Title IX legislation, Mary Ellen Pethel has written a who's who of Title IX proponents in Tennessee. The book consists of fifty profiles in biography, interview, and vignette format, introducing Tennessee women instrumental to the passage of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and to the success of women's athletic programs thereafter. Pethel celebrates the lives and careers of household names like Pat Summitt and Candace Parker, as well as equally important forerunners such as Ann Furrow and Teresa Phillips. Introductory and concluding material discusses education and sport prior to Title IX, the legislation itself, the early controversies and implementation of Title IX, and the future of equity in sport and education"--

Provides a look at the network known as the Underground Railroad - that mysterious "system" of individuals and organizations that helped slaves escape the American South to freedom during the years before the Civil War.
