This book is the first comprehensive summary of the General Social Survey since its origin in 1972. Topics range over the whole subject matter of the GSS, from political behavior and attitudes to the mores, psychological states, and socio-economic characteristics of the American public. This volume provides a quick reference guide to the major questions asked in the GSS. Summaries for all respondents appear along with breakdowns by gender and standard age categories (age 18 - 85). The list of tables and the index offer readers convenient access to specific questions while the topical arrangement of the tables provides a coherent presentation of related subjects. For those unfamiliar with the GSS this will serve as an exciting and comprehensive introduction. Students in sociology, psychology, political science, economics, American studies, family studies, aging, social work, and health fields will find it an exceptional source of information. For researchers, the book provides a simplified reference to the GSS and data for statistical treatment in analytical studies.

The world of Nephilites. A world that has always been around you, yet mysteriously veiled for reasons and by powers long forgotten. Nephilites, beings that are half human and half angel, are divided by the choice of Light or Shadow. Contact with the human race is forbidden except for a pilgrimage that is every Nephilite's right of passage into their gifted communities. They live in an uneasy truce (Treaty of Balance) that was formed by the two factions since the time the veil that separates the spiritual and physical world was torn in two. But when a past that had been carefully orchestrated to be forgotten is suddenly thrust into the forefront of the Nephilite existence, the powers of Light and Shadow are once again heralding the call to war. A powerful gift revealed, an ancient secret exposed, the world of Neph and men will once again collide in a way that has not been seen in recorded history.
