Egypt's first female pharaoh disappears around 1457 BCE -- was she
murdered? Find out how DNA closes the case. The ancient Arabian
Peninsula city of Ubar vanishes, seemingly without trace. Find out
how old maps and modern space shuttles help solve the mystery. Sir
John Franklin's 1845 expedition to find the Northwest Passage is
never heard from again. Find out how spectroscopy points to some
probable explanations. Case Closed? examines these and six other
mysteries from ancient and modern times. Accompanied by photos,
maps, diagrams and illustrations, this book reveals how modern
science sheds new light on people, vessels and entire civilizations
throughout history that simply vanished. In some cases, the mystery
has been solved. In other cases, readers can examine the latest
evidence and decide for themselves.
There are many facets to love. It can be all-embracing, passionate,
fulfilling, platonic. And when this love is shattered, it gives
rise to anguish, hate, anger, jealously, and melancholy. There are
times when such powerful emotions must be expressed, for to keep
them bottled up inside can render one senseless and unbalanced.
What better way to find release than through the age-old medium of
poetry? It is the author's sincere hope that her poetry will bring
solace to others who have endured the same tumultuous experiences
with love and heartache. Perhaps the sharing of her words will
provide healing for both the author and her readers around the
world.
Dangerous munitions work links two very different women in WWI
Britain. Ambitious Lizzie Fenwick puts a note in a box of
ammunition shells which triggers an exciting wartime romance. In
the face of increasing casualty figures, patriotic Eunice Wilson is
overcome with regret for shunning her conscripted husband. Events
soon mean Lizzie must make hard choices and accept that a less
romantic future beckons. Meanwhile, Eunice attempts to cope with
personal tragedy. Peace returns, but with it comes the discovery of
a betrayal which sets the two women on a potential collision course
where they must confront everything they thought they knew about
love and loyalty. And let go of what they want to hold on to most.
The author was immersed in her career. She had prepared for years
for this time in her life -- she was financially independent and
moving step by step up the corporate ladder. That was the true
definition of success ...or so she thought. Then it happened --

REDEFINITION! Susan Hughes explores well below the surface of the
working mom vs. stay-at-home mom debate using her humorous though
deeply honest recollection of the birth of her son and the
challenges and joys that followed. She takes us on her journey from
"manager" to "Mommy" that left her knowing, without a doubt, that
motherhood is the most important and most powerful job there is.
The undeniable truths presented within make a convincing argument
that kids, not career, should be a mother's top priority.
