The Butterfly Effect deals with many dysfunctional characteristics
that destroy promising relationships. Since education has the power
to change, it is only reasonable to conclude that when these
principals are properly applied, lives can be changed. It is a
wonderful sight to behold when ones views the metamorphoses of the
caterpillar into that of the tender and beautiful butterfly. Many
relationships start off at the caterpillar stage, but never make it
to the butterfly stage. By following the sound instruction of this
small book, it is more than likely that you can transform your
current state of your failing relationship into that of a happy and
thriving one. The Butterfly Effect looks at such topics as: "
Recognizing your problem from a third person perspective,"
"Forgiveness," "Understanding your partner," "Keys to effective
communication," "Signs of Abuse and how to correct it,"
"Destructive behavior," "Controlling Emotions," "Sex," "Being
Single vs. Marriage," "Trust issues," "Overcoming Myths,"
"Dealing& Overcoming Depression," "Self worth," Respect," "
Tips on fixing broken relationships," and much more. The Butterfly
Effect is really a pack of dynamite in a small package
Black Hawk was born in a Sac village on the Rock River in 1767, and
matured into a distinguished chief and spokesman for the rights of
his people. "With his tribe he had great personal influence and his
young men received his counsel and advise, and yielded ready
acquiescence in his admonitions. With other tribes he was held in
high esteem, as well as by English and American soldiers, who had
witnessed his prowess on the battlefield." After reviewing the
narrative with his interpreter, Black Hawk stated that "it
contained nothing but the truth, and that it was his desire with
the white people in the big villages he had visited should know how
badly he had been treated, and the reason that he impelled him to
act as he had done." An account of Black Hawk's final years,
detailing his removal to the Des Moines River and the Black Hawk
Tower, augments the autobiography. The last portion of the volume
provides a detailed account of the Black Hawk War. Three
illustrations, an appendix, and a new full-name index add to the
value of this extraordinary book.

One of the most respected personages in Native American history,
BLACK HAWK (1767-1838), Sauk war chief of the Native American tribe
in Illinois, was already a renowned name in the early 1800s, having
fought for the British during the War of 1812. By 1832, when Black
Hawk led warriors against encroaching European settlers on Sauk
lands, he was so well-known that the engagement became known as the
Black Hawk War. In his 1833 autobiography, Black Hawk-dictating to
American newspaper editor JOHN BARTON PATTERSON (1805-1890)-tells
his tale, from the "Indian wars" as he saw them to his capture, in
1832, by American forces and his subsequent meeting with President
Andrew Jackson and grand tour of the United States. A provocative
look at Black Hawk's wisdom and, ironically, his misunderstanding
of the politics of the United States, this is a fascinating
firsthand account of one of the foundational philosophical battles
of American history.
