The title of my book says it all, 'Restless Hearts." It is a Poem book about Love, Romance, and Heartbreaks, which we all have experienced at one time or another in our life. I don't exactly remember what prompted me to write love poems, I guess the experiences that I have endured over my lifetime still burns in my subconscious and I feel a need to get it out in the open and down on paper. There is something in this book that every one of us can relate to. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do and don't miss my special edition of, "The Cowboy And The Brown-Eyed Saloon Girl," A love story. 'I am the hopeless romantic'... so they say.

Georgetown's little-known Black heritage shaped a Washington, DC, community long associated with white power and privilege. Black Georgetown Remembered reveals a rich but little-known history of the Georgetown Black community from the colonial period to the present. Drawing on primary sources, including oral interviews with past and current residents and extensive research in church and historical society archives, the authors record the hopes, dreams, disappointments, and successes of a vibrant neighborhood as it persevered through slavery and segregation, war and peace, prosperity and depression. This thirtieth anniversary edition of Black Georgetown Remembered, first published in 1991, features more than two hundred illustrations, including portraits of prominent community leaders, sketches, maps, and nineteenth-century and contemporary photographs. A new chapter includes a conversation with former and current Georgetown residents reflecting on the community, past and present. Black Georgetown Remembered is a compelling and inspiring journey through more than two hundred years of history. A one-of-a-kind book, it invites readers to share in the lives, dreams, aspirations, struggles, and triumphs of real people, to join them in their churches, at home, and on the street, and to consider how the unique heritage of this neighborhood intersects and contributes to broader themes in African American and Washington, DC, history and urban studies.

Edited by the inventor of PCR and two prominent experts in PCR techniques, this first comprehensive handbook on the Polymerase Chain Reaction has the most up to date methodological protocols from the world's leading laboratories. Included are exciting new techniques and enhanced methods, previously unavailable in book form, that show the novice and experienced PCR user exactly how they can optimize their results. The applications chapters are quite unique, with the foremost researchers providing not only protocols, but explaining why PCR has revolutionized their particular field. Future enhancements of PCR as well as new potential uses are discussed. Readers will learn how PCR has changed the face of diagnostic testing, cancer research, genetics, forensics, plant biology, DNA sequencing, gene therapy, and much more! Nearly forty chapters have been extensively reviewed and checked for accuracy and breadth of subject matter.

The Eighty-Second National Meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, from August 29 through September 1, 1976, had as one of its themes the topic of transport processes. One of the sessions related to this theme was "Transport Processes in the Oceans" chaired by R. P. Shaw and R. J. Gibbs. This session was devoted to the study of transport processes and their hydrodynamic modeling in large water bodies such as oceans and lakes; transport of both dissolved and solid material was con sidered. The interest developed at the session led to the conclu sion that the papers presented there should be published as a set rather than dispersed among the various technical journals that rep resent the wide variety of technical affiliations of the authors. This variety, in fact, is typical of this particular field with con tributors identified as chemical engineers, civil engineers, environ mental engineers, mechanical engineers, oceanographers and applied mechanicians to name just a few. Such an interdisciplinary area re quires more effort in keeping abreast of developments than do the traditional areas, since new material may be developed and presented in a wide range of technical journals and professional meetings."

..".the most comprehensive and expansive book ever written on the subject of Retail Real Estate Development. Gibbs is by far the most prominent advocate for reforming retail planning and development in order to return American cities to economic and physical prominence."-Stefanos Polyzoides, Moule & Polyzoides Architects & UrbanistsThe retail environment has evolved rapidly in the past few decades, with the retailing industry and its placement and design of "brick-and-mortar" locations changing with evolving demographics, shopping behavior, transportation options and a desire in recent years for more unique shopping environments.

Written by a leading expert, this is a guide to planning for retail development for urban planners, urban designers and architects. It includes an overview of history of retail design, a look at retail and merchandising trends, and principles for current retail developments.

"Principles of Urban Retail Planning and Development" will: Provide insight and techniques necessary for historic downtowns and new urban communities to compete with modern suburban shopping centers. Promote sustainable community building and development by making it more profitable for the shopping center industry to invest in historic cities or to develop walkable urban communities. Includes case studies of recent good examples of retail development

In Memory of Wartime Evacuee Charles (Charlie) Hall, killed August 1943 aged ten years. Always remembered. Ernie. Who still places the memoriam so many years after the war? What is the connection between a young evacuee who disappeared in 1943, an author of children's stories and a journalist who disappeared in 1993?Present day reporter, Jack Duggan finds himself in real danger as he attempts to unravel a mystery stranger than anything he could have imagined.

What? You think this stuff just happens to you? Gibberish is a collection of previously-published essays from Peterborough, Ontario broadcaster and humourist Gordon Gibb that will make you laugh, cry, and relish the revelation that you're not the only one. Stories that have proven fan favourites with readers of Maclean's, The Globe and Mail, Canadian Living, Reader's Digest and the Peterborough Examiner. And with you too, with any luck...

This book tackles the challenges of how to make sense of qualitative data. It offers students and researchers a hands-on guide to the practicalities of coding, comparing data, and using computer-assisted qualitative data analysis. Lastly, Gibbs shows you how to bring it all together, so you can see the steps of qualitative analysis, understand the central place of coding, ensure analytic quality and write effectively to present your results.

The use of computers to solve modern scientific problems is very widespread. The impact of the improvement of our techniques for the solution of complex problems is difficult to overstate. Even our approach to most problems has been changed. Solutions to problems once thought intractable are being routinely secured. Instead of using oversimplified models, as has been the practice for the treatment of scientific systems in the past, the entire problem can now be attacked.

The second edition of Computation in Modern Physics develops and presents algorithms for the solution of many types of mathematical systems, some dating as far as the last few centuries, but also quite a number that have been developed within the last 10-50 years.

In this last category, close attention is paid to the rapidly developing area of Monte Carlo techniques where new conceptual views of physics problems are being brought into play. With this method, problems in a large number of dimensions can be solved through the introduction of a modern method for the representation of multidimensional functions.

This book is suitable for two different levels in computational physics. The first part is an advanced introductory level and is appropriate for good students with no previous experience in computational methods or any student with some experience. Here the student is introduced to integral and differential techniques, Monte Carlo integration, basic computer architecture, methods of linear algebra, finite element techniques, digital signal processing and chaos.

The second part of the book is more specialized for problems in strong interaction with emphasis on solutions to many-body scattering problems andseveral-body bound state calculations with Monte Carlo techniques. It also contains a chapter dealing with techniques for the summation of divergent series.
