Arising from a research project on depression in the eighteenth century, this book discusses the experience of depressive states both in terms of existing modes of thought and expression, and of attempts to describe and live with suffering. It also asks what present-day society can learn about depression from the eighteenth-century experience.

Why does it benefit some male and female animals to live separately? Sexual segregation, wherein the sexes of a species live apart for long periods of time, has far-reaching consequences for the ecology, behavior, and conservation of hooved mammals, which are called ungulates. Award-winning researcher R. Terry Bowyer has spent the past four decades unravelling the causes and consequences of this perplexing phenomenon by studying ungulates and the large carnivores that prey upon them. In Sexual Segregation in Ungulates, Bowyer's critical, thought-provoking approach helps resolve long-standing disagreements concerning sexual segregation and offers future pathways for species and habitat conservation. He highlights important elements of the natural history of wild ungulate species, including bighorn sheep and elk. He then uses this perspective to frame and test hypotheses illuminating the motivations behind sexual segregation. He investigates the role of sexual segregation in mechanisms underpinning ungulate mating systems, sexual dimorphism, paternal behavior, and population dynamics. Bowyer's research spans ecosystems from deserts to the Arctic and involves most species of ungulates inhabiting the North American continent. He also provides a timely review of sexual segregation for species of plants and other animals, including humans. Covering definitions, theory, findings, and practical applications of related study, Bowyer describes the behavioral patterns related to sexual segregation, explains how to detect these patterns, and considers the implications of sexual segregation for new approaches to conservation and management of ungulates and other species of wildlife. This book is essential reading for scientists and all those interested in the conservation and management of species, including wildlife professionals, hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and naturalists.

The desire of my heart is that Christians would get serious about Bible study. With all the Bible study materials available and all the opinions floating around my challenge has been to produce a multi-purpose work that is true to the Biblical text, and can be used in many situations from personal to corporate study. This book is different in that it is not intended to be a reading book, but rather a book that will guide a study process. I have highlighted things to think about as you study along. The intention of this study guide is that it be used with your "Bible" as a thought provoking device that stirs your curiosity and drives you to dig deeper to find answers to the perplexing questions that come to mind. I believe that these tools of study would benefit everybody and I want to consolidate all my learning here.

Pamela finds herself in a spine tingling maze of mystery and suspense after almost being killed by the person who murdered her husband.

This book provides a synthesis of the key issues and challenges facing agriculture and food production in Southern Africa. Southern Africa is facing numerous challenges from diverse issues such as agricultural transformations, growing populations, urbanization and climate change. These challenges place great pressure on food security, agriculture, water availability and other natural resources, as well as impacting biodiversity. Drawing on case studies from Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, the chapters in this book consider these challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective, covering key areas in constraints to production, the most important building blocks of good farming practices, and established and emerging technologies. This book will be a valuable support for informing new policies and processes aimed at improving food production and security and developing sustainable agriculture in Southern Africa. This informative volume will be key reading for those interested in agricultural science, African studies, rural studies, development studies and sustainability. It will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, and agricultural practitioners.

This book presents a synthesis of the extensive information available on the biology of Bromeliacea, a largely neotropical family of about 2700 described species. The author emphasizes reproductive and vegetative structure, related physiology, ecology, and evolution, rather than floristics and taxonomy. Guiding questions include: Why is this family inordinately successful in arboreal (epiphytic) and other typically stressful habitats and why is this family so important to extensive fauna beyond pollinators and frugivores in the forest canopy? Extraordinary and sometimes novel mechanisms that mediate water balance, tolerance for high and low exposures, and mutualisms with ants have received much study and allow interesting comparisons among plant taxa and help explain why members of this taxon exhibit more adaptive and ecological variety than most other families of flowering plants. This volume concentrates on function and underlying mechanisms, thus it will round out a literature that otherwise mostly ignores basic biology in favor of taxonomy and horticulture.

The book analyses the process by which the collective image of professional baseball was formed. It traces both the negation and the affirmation of ideas in the sports press that would impede or promote the growth of baseball from a recreational pastime to a team sport spectacle in the mid-19th century. The American collective image grew as a result of sports reportage, conversations about baseball in social and work groupings, game attendance (and changing values toward work and play), and reports of gambling. Newspaper editorials and news stories and letters to the editor are studied as to shifting and complex and inter-related sentiments toward playing baseball. Much of this interactive complex was influenced by the English sports ideal and newly formed attitudes toward recreation. Above all, the sports press was the primary shaper of the image of professional baseball.

There was a light mist in the air suddenly a car came up behind. Becky, she knew should have listened to Darnell and let him drive her. Whoever killed Royce is now after her, has he found her, he wants her dead, she knew she was going to die like Royce? Before she dies, she wants to know why__why is this happening to her, why had they killed Royce. As she sped down the road trying to escape, her car was racing out of control it crashed through a gated fence and onto a lawn. This was total insanity; she tried to turn the wheel into the skid, but she couldn't, she lost control. Her body flung forward, then back as the car hit a tree. Raising her hands in front of her face trying to protect it from flying glass as she flung forward again, about to hit the steering wheel, the airbag deployed, like a cork from a champagne bottle, it slammed hard against her hands causing them to smash into her face. She slammed backward her head hitting the headrest. The airbag released a choking cloud of powder, filling the car's interior. The pain was sharp, and biting, she tried to hold her breath to avoid breathing in the residue from the powder. The pain seared through her, vertigo and dizziness spun all around, fear twisted her thoughts; she was losing consciousness falling deeper into a blackness that she couldn't control. Off in the distance she could hear voices; they were coming for her...Oh, God no...

George was doing his best to be as quiet as possible when he heard the sound of footsteps coming closer, then he heard something else ...breathing, then movement somewhere near him. The noise was maybe six to ten feet away to his left. He twisted himself between two large trash dumpster pushing himself tighter against the wall and waited. He was afraid to breathe hoping they would not spot him. Somewhere between him and the dumpster, a shadow moved the sound only a few inches away, his blood begun to rush through him. Scared shitless, George, pushed himself back against the wall into the shadows as close to the wall as he could. An involuntary cry almost inhuman sound came from him. Tressa stomped across the floor like a raging bull, her anger projected at who ever was calling her, following her and threatening her very existence. Could her reoccurring dream have anything to do with this freak who is tormenting her? All she knows is that the first time she encounters him. She intends to put a bullet in his brain.

What's in Your Worship evaluates the heart of worship in today's Christian's, and challenges our worship motives. It is a call to Christians to return to the heart of sacrificial worship of God rather than merely using worship as entertainment.
