Since its inception in the 12th century, members of Clann
Chaomhanach have distinguished themselves in Ireland and in the New

Argentina, Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand. Through
successive generations the name Caomhanach has been transformed
into Kavanagh, Kavanaugh, Kavenagh, Kavenaugh, Cavanagh, Cavanaugh,
Cavenagh, Cavenaugh, Cavanah and many others. The purpose of this
book to illustrate the contributions the descendants of this royal
Irish family have made around the world.
Hiding in plain sight throughout America are historic, highly
private women's self-education groups. These clubs are fascinating
survivors from an era following the Civil War when women couldn't
apply to most colleges and were told they shouldn't leave the home.
In their earliest days, the study groups also contributed to the
welfare of their towns - often by helping to found their town's
first library-and served to get women out of the house and into the
world. Today's all-women study clubs have no civic component but
still fashion their meetings as their founding great-grandmothers
did, with members taking turns giving original papers. In Smart
Women, author Ann Dodds Costello discusses her four-year quest to
locate, often visit, and describe today's 100-year-old, all-women
study clubs, all over America, even though they do not publicize
and have no central organization or knowledge of each other.
Included: an invaluable, first-ever directory of most of the book's
ninety-plus clubs.

steroids and their possible benefits using real case examples from

two sections. The first section is easy to read and discusses
steroid use in medicine and sports. Popular beliefs about anabolic
steroids are challenged, including the dangers of steroid use. Many
case examples are included to illustrate the unfamiliar benefits of
steroids in cancer, multiple sclerosis, women, and HIV. The effect
professional sports has on the medical use of steroids is also
assessed and recommendations are made to reduce such an influence.

research and clinical pearls of anabolic steroid therapies. The
historical and current medical literature regarding prostate cancer
is examined. Intervention models of anabolic steroids and the

Curtis M. Brown has long been recognized as the world's foremost
authorities on land surveying. His works and textbooks are found in
virtually every Land Surveyor's library across the country. His
legal principles have been adopted by a large number of courts
across the United States and his books are standard reference works
for practicing Land Surveyors. The Curt Brown Chronicles presents a
collection of papers, lectures, and articles prepared by Mr. Brown
in the course of developing the principles and authorities for his
textbooks and classes. While serving as a member of the American
Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM), Mr. Brown was a regular
contributor to The Surveyor and Law and the Comment and Discussion
columns as well as other important articles. In this capacity, Mr.
Brown would respond to inquiries from Land Surveyors across the
United States on a variety of subjects related to land surveying
and the application of relevant law. His opinions continue to have
considerable influence on the professional land surveying community
and the legal community. Many of the papers contained in The Curt
Brown Chronicles have not been released since their original
publication in the 1950s and 1960s. Nevertheless, the subjects are
still germane and in many ways, Curt's focus on many subjects was
prescient. Mr. Brown's articles on Land Surveyor's Liability to
Unwritten Rights, Land Surveyors Ethics, and The Professional
Status of Land Surveyors, are still considered relevant and are
held in as high a regard as is Justice Thomas Cooley's (Chief
Justice, Supreme Court of Michigan, 1864-1885) famous article, The
Judicial Functions of Surveyors.The Curt Brown Chronicles has been
compiled with the consent and permission of ACSM and the Brown
family.
