past with two boys, their dog and three best friends.
American history has been produced by the union of disparate
states, each with its own ethnic, geographical and economic
history. Long appreciated by the nation's local citizens, the
richness and significance of local history has only recently been
reevaluated by academic authorities. The number of articles and
monographs on Kentucky history has increased dramatically since the
last Kentucky bibliography was published in 1949. This book
provides an indispensable guide to the literature on Kentucky
history.
After ten years on the Texas cattle trail with little to show for
it, twenty-six-year-old Clinton James heads west in hopes of
striking it rich in the California gold fields. Lady, his
salt-and-pepper gray, is getting old; he knows this will be her
last drive. Riding into the dusty little town of Bitter Creek,
James is broke, out of grub, and he has to find work-quickly.
While wondering if he made the right decision, Clinton meets the
first of many people along the western trail who will forever mark
his life-from the greedy merchants who would readily take advantage
of him, to the old stockman who tells Clinton of the riches to be
had at the Lost Ravine Gold Mine, and a beautiful young woman with
a little girl, both stranded after losing their belongings and
their families.
Clinton's journey to the Lost Ravine Gold Mine, one of the
richest strikes around, is a lonely trail with danger waiting
around every bend, where a lone rider could disappear and never be
missed. Will James make it to the gold fields, or will romantic
escapades and ruthless outlaws force him to abandon his dream?
The Handbook of Deviant Behavior presents a comprehensive,
integrative, and accessible overview of the contemporary body of
knowledge in the field of social deviance in the twenty-first
century. This book addresses the full range of scholarly concerns
within this area -- including theoretical, methodological, and
substantive issues -- in over seventy original entries, written by
an international mix of recognized scholars. Each of these essays
provides insight not only into the historical and sociological
evolution of the topic addressed, but also highlights associated
notable thinkers, research findings, and key published works for
further reference. As a whole, this Handbook undertakes an in depth
evaluation of the contemporary state of knowledge within the area
of social deviance, and beyond this considers future directions and
concerns that will engage scholars in the decades ahead. The
inclusion of comparative and cross-cultural examples and
discussions, relevant case studies and other pedagogical features
make this book an invaluable learning tool for undergraduate and
post graduate students in disciplines such as criminology, mental
health studies, criminal theory, and contemporary sociology.

This book examines cyberspace superiority in nation-state conflict
from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. This volume
analyses superiority concepts from the domains of land, maritime,
and air to build a model that can be applied to cyberspace. Eight
different cyberspace conflicts between nation states are examined
and the resulting analysis is combined with theoretical concepts to
present the reader with a conclusion. Case studies include the
conflict between Russia and Estonia (2007), North Korea and the US
and South Korea (2009) and Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Aramco
attack (2012). The book uses these case studies to examine
cyberspace superiority as an analytical framework to understand
conflict in this domain between nation-states. Furthermore, the
book makes the important distinction between local and universal
domain superiority, and presents a unique model to relate this
superiority in all domains, as well as a more detailed model of
local superiority in cyberspace. Through examining the eight case
studies, the book develops a rigorous system to measure the amount
of cyberspace superiority achieved by a combatant in a conflict,
and seeks to reveal if cyberspace superiority proves to be a
significant advantage for military operations at the tactical,
operational, and strategic levels. This book will be of much
interest to students of cyber-conflict, strategic studies, national
security, foreign policy and IR in general.

How did electrons in the high atmosphere and space around the Earth
come to acquire their speeds and energies?
This intriguing question lies at the heart of understanding how
high-energy electrons create the spectacular displays of the
DEGREESIAurora Borealis and DEGREESIAurora Australis. Electron
Acceleration in the Aurora and Beyond explores the mysteries of
these phenomena and others involving the acceleration of electrons
in the magnetosphere, in the solar wind, at the Sun and in the
Cosmos.
This book presents a new approach to understanding this fascinating
subject by treating the acceleration medium as a plasma. Using this
new insight we can see that electron acceleration may well be
caused by waves rather than steady potential differences. This
unique approach is clearly explained in a lively and engaging
style.
Quantitative formulae, experiments, practical demonstrations and
computer programs enable us to investigate for ourselves how the
model works. The theory is further illustrated by comparing
acceleration in space with particle accelerators in the nuclear
physics laboratory (and even on the sports field )
Questions and exercises with answers are supplied to stimulate
further thinking.
DEGREESIElectron Acceleration in the Aurora and Beyond is a
thought-provoking book for graduate and post-doctoral space
scientists.
Black LGBT Health in the United States: The Intersection of Race,
Gender, and Sexual Orientation focuses on the mental, physical, and
spiritual aspects of health, and considers both risk and resiliency
factors for the Black LGBT population. Contributors to this
collection intimately understand the associations between health
and intersectional anti-Black racism, heterosexism, homonegativity,
biphobia, transphobia, and social class. This collection fills a
gap in current scholarship by providing information about an array
of health issues like cancer, juvenile incarceration, and
depression that affect all subpopulations of Black LGBT people,
especially Black bisexual-identified women, Black
bisexual-identified men, and Black transgender men. This book is
recommended for readers interested in psychology, health, gender
studies, race studies, social work, and sociology.

The sensational small-group series Companions in Christ is now
being offered in a new 5-piece Participant's Book set as well as
the traditional 1-piece Participant's Book. With the same great
daily exercise material and articles, the two different
Participant's Book styles allow your group to use the format that
best fits your time frame. The new 5-piece Participant's Book set
offers groups a convenient way to take breaks between modules. The
traditional 1-piece volume is still a great value for groups who
will continue their study together for 28 weeks.
The Way of Blessedness, the third resource in the Companions in
Christ series, is an invitation for small group members to discover
and live in the kingdom of God. Each week is an exploration of one
of the Beatitudes from Matthew 5. Unlike other books on the
Beatitudes, The Way of Blessedness is threaded throughout with
spiritual practices that form participants spiritually while
informing them about scripture. This 9-week journey helps
participants empty themselves of pride so that they can be filled
with God's abundant love. As they are transformed by God's love,
they may become people who mourn with and for others and our world,
who understand and live out Jesus' example of meekness, who hunger
and thirst for holiness, who humbly offer and receive mercy, whose
hearts are pure and able to see the imprint of God in all things,
who seek peace, and who hold strong in our faith through adversity.
The Way of Blessedness guides participants along a path that offers
clarity to their way of life and the very life of God's kingdom.
