This book describes seven generations of a single Roberts
lineage in the Southern States. A selection of public and private
papers is included which refl ects the times and the temperaments
of the authors. The Roberts in this lineage crossed the Blue Ridge
in 1770 and were British loyalists on the Virginia frontier at the
outbreak of the Revolutionary War. In the next three generations,
the family settled in newly-opened Indian Territory in South
Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi, respectively. At the outbreak
of the Civil War, the Roberts patriarch was a Unionist judge in
Georgia, while the eldest son was a Secessionist attorney in
Mississippi. The post War generations commenced with a literary
college president who was life-long friends with the Candler
brothers of Emory and Coca Cola. The next three generations were
physicians. The first was the fi rst cardiologist in Georgia and a
national medical leader. The second is a researcher in heart
disease whose publications and addresses have had worldwide
influence in medicine. And the last is author of this book.

regiment, had died. To support his mother and younger siblings,

in front of the Atlanta hardware store of Joseph Spencer Stewart,
an Emory College graduate (1849), who later funded the education of
Will at Emory College (1st honors,1877) in Oxford, Georgia. Will
married Cliff ord Rebecca Stewart, a daughter of Mr. Stewart, and
became minister of Trinity Church in Atlanta and president of
Wesleyan College in Macon.

This is not a fad diet book. This is the most comprehensive,
scientifically based program to lose weight and keep it off, with
practical details about diet and nutrition, movement and
motivation, medications, supplements, surgery, and more. In Weight
Loss for Life, two experts from the Johns Hopkins Healthful Eating,
Activity & Weight Program provide you with all of the
information you need on your weight loss journey. They bring
together leading experts in behavioral health, nutrition, exercise,
and nursing to help you develop a plan that works best for you-and
that's not focused on just restricting calories or certain foods.
Anyone struggling with unwanted weight gain or obesity will find
this program to be helpful, compassionate, and clear. A central
feature of the program is a Personal Plan of Action to help you set
up reachable goals, plan your meals, and make time for movement.
All the recommendations are customizable based on your personal
health and needs. You'll enjoy the interactive features, too, with
surveys throughout asking you to reflect on your own eating habits
as well as barriers to success. And unlike other works on the
market, Weight Loss for Life covers it all: supplements,
prescription medications, med spas, and surgical options. If you
struggle, it can help you get back on track. Throughout,
testimonials from others who have followed the program along with
hundreds of photographs and drawings will help educate and keep you
motivated along your weight loss journey. Weight Loss for Life is
the guide to the science and art of achieving and maintaining a
healthful weight.
Nothing could ever adequately prepare you to receive a diagnosis of
cancer, but when you do, you know instantly that your life has been
irrevocably changed. You take up arms and go into battle, not
against the disease, but for your life. This "Little Book" is a
collection of the lessons I learned while facing my own personal
challenge with cancer and what I know to be true.
Los sucesos descritos en este libro son experiencias verdaderas,
decir obligadamente la verdad logica de los hechos, y en defensa de
los derechos humanos, sin embargo el autor ha modificado sus
identidades y en algunos casos ha creado personajes compuestos.
Cualquier semejanza entre un personaje de este libro y una persona
de la vida real, es por tanto completamente accidental. Laura La
Villa (Autor)
