A Fire Hydrant's Revenge

By: Christian Sigmon

A fire hydrant has a solitary existence; he is a permanent fixture in cement next to the street. He can withstand all kinds of weather, and people often kick him, splash him, or sit on him. He has seen many different events—with happiness and joy or pain and tears. One day is particularly horrible. First, a car accident happens right in front of him. Traffic slows, and there are sirens, yelling, and honking all around him. Even after that gets cleared away, things do not get better. A dog escapes from its owner and runs around the neighborhood, going from tree to tree and bush to bush, marking everything he can. Then the dog spots the fire hydrant and makes a mad dash. What happens next is the birth of a neighborhood legend. In this children’s story, a fire hydrant takes revenge when a rampaging dog decides to mark his territory in the wrong spot.

Sleeping with the Angels

By: Roger R. Sigmon

We all face difficult times. Being a Christian does not mean we are immune from tragedies and physical and emotional pain. Even so, the way we react to any of these circumstances can forge our future and the future of others as well. Sleeping with the Angels is the story of one womans struggles through difficult times and illness that left a lifelong lesson to family and friends. Author Roger Sigmon tells the story of his mothers final weeks and how she impacted those around her by showing them how to live. Life has often been called a journey, not a destination. Sleeping with the Angels shows how that journeys trials and challenges, as well as its happy times, can be opportunities for learning and teaching. Sometimes, at the end of the journey of life, death comes not as an enemy, but as a friend to release a diseased mind or body from its prison.

The Silent Appalachian

Wordless Mountaineers in Fiction, Film and Television

By: Vicki Sigmon Collins

Appalachian literature is filled with silent or non-discursive characters. The reasons for their wordlessness vary. Some are mute or pretend to be, some choose not to speak or are silenced by grief, trauma or fear. Others mutter monosyllables, stutter, grunt and point, speak in tongues or idiosyncratic language. They capture the reader's attention by what they don't say.

Applications of Abstract Algebra with MAPLE

By: Richard Klima,Neil Sigmon,Ernest Stitzinger

The mathematical concepts of abstract algebra may indeed be considered abstract, but its utility is quite concrete and continues to grow in importance. Unfortunately, the practical application of abstract algebra typically involves extensive and cumbersome calculations-often frustrating even the most dedicated attempts to appreciate and employ its intricacies. Now, however, sophisticated mathematical software packages help obviate the need for heavy number-crunching and make fields dependent on the algebra more interesting-and more accessible. Applications of Abstract Algebra with Maple opens the door to cryptography, coding, Polya counting theory, and the many other areas dependent on abstract algebra. The authors have carefully integrated Maple V throughout the text, enabling readers to see realistic examples of the topics discussed without struggling with the computations. But the book stands well on its own if the reader does not have access to the software. The text includes a first-chapter review of the mathematics required-groups, rings, and finite fields-and a Maple tutorial in the appendix along with detailed treatments of coding, cryptography, and Polya theory applications. Applications of Abstract Algebra with Maple packs a double punch for those interested in beginning-or advancing-careers related to the applications of abstract algebra. It not only provides an in-depth introduction to the fascinating, real-world problems to which the algebra applies, it offers readers the opportunity to gain experience in using one of the leading and most respected mathematical software packages available.

Daily Bible Study Summer 2023

By: Dan R. Dick,Henry G. Brinton,Amy Sigmon

Study the Bible daily for a closer relationship with God. Daily Bible Study is a great companion to the quarterly Adult Bible Studies or as a stand-alone study for those wanting to study the Bible daily. It is presented in quarterly segments. Bible-based and Christ-focused, it coordinates with the lesson themes of Adult Bible Studies. Each daily reading includes a one-page Bible study for each of the quarters along with introductory reflection questions and commentary on the daily Scripture passage, life application and a concluding prayer. Additional information about Adult Bible Studies, Summer 2023 Theme: Transformation This Summer, Daily Bible Study presents a series of readings supporting the theme “The Life of Faith.” These readings enable us to walk alongside Jesus and his disciples on Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem. They challenge us to explore the nature of faith that calls us to follow Jesus despite our uncertainty and doubts. They also help us unpack the concept of “sabbath,” the foreshadowing of the rest that God promises at the end of our journey. Readings come from Old and New Testament texts. These daily readings, which prepare us for the lessons in Adult Bible Studies, are written by Susan Groseclose, Taylor Mills, and Greg Weeks.
