encourages the body to balance and heal itself. It involves
applying finger or thumb pressure to specific points on the hands
and feet. Called "reflexes," these points reflect, or mirror, the
organs and structures of the body as well as a person's emotional
health. In this way, the hands and feet are "mini maps" or
"microcosms" of the body that can be used to encourage holistic
healing. Presenting the most complete reflexology study guide

"Tell the emperor that Madame Bonaparte is ambitious and demands
her rights as a member of the imperial family."
As a clever girl in stodgy, mercantile Baltimore, Betsy Patterson
dreams of a marriage that will transport her to cultured Europe.
When she falls in love with and marries Jerome Bonaparte, she
believes her dream has come true-until Jerome's older brother
Napoleon becomes an implacable enemy.
Based on a true story, "The Ambitious Madame Bonaparte" is a
historical novel that portrays this woman's tumultuous life.
Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, known to history as Betsy Bonaparte,
scandalized Washington with her daring French fashions; visited
Niagara Falls when it was an unsettled wilderness; survived a
shipwreck and run-ins with British and French warships; dined with
presidents and danced with dukes; and lived through the 1814 Battle
of Baltimore. Yet through it all, Betsy never lost sight of her
primary goal-to win recognition of her marriage.
