A New York Times Best Seller! Richard Belzer and David Wayne are
back to set the record straight after Dead Wrong; this time they're
going to uncover the truth about the many witness deaths tied to
the JFK assassination. For decades, government pundits have
dismissed these "coincidental" deaths, even regarding them as
"myths" as "urban legends." Like most people, Richard and David
were initially unsure about what to make of these 'coincidences'.
After all, events don't "consult the odds" prior to happening; they
simply happen. Then someone comes along later and figures out what
the odds of it happening were. Some of the deaths seemed purely
coincidental; heart attacks, hunting accidents. Others clearly
seemed noteworthy; witnesses who did seem to know something and did
seem to die mysteriously. Hit List is a fair examination of the
evidence of each case, leading to (necessarily) different
conclusions. The findings were absolutely staggering; as some cases
were clearly linked to a "clean-up operation" after the murder of
President Kennedy, while others were the result of 'other forces'.
The impeccable research and writing of Richard Belzer and David
Wayne show that if the government is trying to hide anything,
they're the duo who will uncover it. Skyhorse Publishing, as well

Photochemistry is the study of the interaction of light with
matter. This Primer describes the chemistry that follows the
absorption of light, and explains the extraordinary influence of
visible or ultraviolet light on chemical behaviour. After the
absorption of light, a molecule may acquire completely different
properties from those of its parent. The authors explain the role
of light initiating this metamorphosis, the dependence of natural
processes such as photosynthesis on photochemistry, the emission of
radiation as fluorescence and phosphoresence, and current
applications of photochemistry, which include photography,
photopolymerization, photodegradable polymers, and the synthesis of
organic chemicals. This book is an essential introduction to the
intriguing field of photochemistry.
For every person who has ever watched and marveled at the magic as
a butterfly emerges from a chrysalis, this book is a treasure chest
of amazing butterfly transformations. Readers are invited to
explore and experience the life cycles of 22 common backyard
butterflies, in this unique collection of stunning fullcolor,
up-close photography, all taken in a live garden setting.
From the Black Swallowtail to the Monarch, the Question Mark to
the Painted Lady, each butterfly is shown from start to maturity,
with sequential photographs of the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and
emerging butterfly. Additional detail shots highlight caterpillar
behavior, changes in the chrysalis as the wing pattern emerges,
open- and closed-wing shots, and the color variations between the
male and female butterflies.
Authors Judy Burris and Wayne Richards, a brother-and-sister team,
tell how they created the ultimate butterfly havens in their own
backyards, planting every kind of caterpillar host plant and
nectar-producing flower imaginable. With cameras in hand, they set
out on a mission to record the lives of all the butterflies that
flocked to their gardens. Readers learn how they can create their
own butterfly gardens, with specific host plants suggested for each
species, most of which are found across North America.
This richly visual and highly browsable guide to the life cycles
of butterflies will appeal to wildlife enthusiasts, gardeners,
school teachers, and families alike.
