Depressed, abused, and mourning his murdered father, it seems Shayne is at his lowest until an accident leaves him with an implosive capability that threatens his sanity and plunges him into a life of drugs and sex and easy money, until he uses the baffling talent to help solve a year-long mystery and goad the police, who want it covered-up, with press leaks. When foreign agents join the race to find and neutralise the cerebral Superhero, Shayne struggles to stay ahead. With the net closing he must make a stark choice - abandon Zelig, his own phantasmal alter-ego and the many crime victims who rely on him for justice, or continue on the current path where danger, and madness, await.
Introduction to Forestry and Natural Resources presents a broad overview of the profession of forestry. The book details several key fields within forestry, including forest health, economics, policy, utilization, and forestry careers. Chapters deal specifically with forest products and harvesting, recreation, wildlife habitats, tree anatomy and physiology, and ethics. These topics are ideal for undergraduate introductory courses and include numerous examples (mainly graphical) and questions for students to ponder. Unlike other introductory forestry texts, which focus largely on forest ecology rather than practical forestry concepts, Introduction to Forestry and Natural Resources encompasses economic, ecological, and social aspects providing a uniquely balanced text. The wide range of experience of the contributing authors equips them especially well to identify missing content from other texts in the area and address topics currently covered in corresponding college courses. - 300 original illustrations including line art, graphs, tables and maps - Syllabus-planning assistance for adopting professors so that they can add the content to their course materials via the companion website's question-and-answer material for each chapter - Contributors are experienced textbook authors with diverse professional backgrounds in forestry

After their careers in human services, the authors have a keen understanding of the impact human beings can have on each other. So when it's time to retire, the authors eschew more conventional and solitary activities in favor of hitting the open road to visit and interview people who impacted them throughout their lives. Taking readers on a journey through thirteen states, ten national parks and one national monument, this true story of two Baby Boomers evokes the nostalgia and values of growing up in the fifties, sixties and seventies.
Journeying on a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to the Holy Land, a husband, wife and son make their way together to the country of Israel, in hopes of blending together their past familiar biblical stories, their present-day belief and faith in Jesus Christ, and their preconceived notions of what they will witness in modern-day Israel. This book culminates into their combined adventure of past, present and future faith-based puzzle pieces, trying to piece them together into a cognizant picture they can come to accept and believe in. The Madsen family discovered a country of delectable foods, friendly people, modern amenities, excavated ruins, and historic biblical sites. Traveling with a Rock City Church group from Columbus, Ohio, composed of 15 fellow pilgrims, they spent eight days of a nine-day trip exploring the rich, ancient history that Israel possesses today within its current borders in the Middle East. This book describes the separate, personal experiences of three faith-based travelers and what anyone today would witness for themselves while visiting the fascinating locations found in the country of Israel - along with the family's reflective thoughts and feelings expressed while visiting deeply moving and thought-provoking Bible locations, where Jesus spent a significant amount of His time here on earth. We all can and do take our own pilgrimage walks into faith in our personal and ever-changing seasons of life. Sprinkled and interspersed in this book are spiritual reflections for the reader to contemplate and employ in their own daily walk. Come join these three sojourners as they explore the Holy Land and where it leads them (and you) on their enduring Spirit-filled journey into faith.
