Book Description
This special issue of ZAMP is published to honor Paul M. Naghdi for his contributions to mechanics over the last forty years and more. It is offered in celebration of his long, productive career in continuum mechan ics; a career which has been marked by a passion for the intrinsic beauty of the subject, an uncompromising adherence to academic standards, and an untiring devotion to our profession. Originally, this issue was planned in celebration of Naghdi's 70th birthday, which occurred on 29 March 1994. But, as the papers were being prepared for the press, it became evident that the illness from which Professor Naghdi had been suffering during recent months was extremely serious. On 26 May 1994, a reception took place in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Berkeley, at which Naghdi received The Berkeley Citation (which is given in lieu of an honorary degree) and where he was also presented with the Table of Contents of the present collection. Subse quently, he had the opportunity to read the papers in manuscript form. He was very touched that his colleagues had chosen to honor him with their fine contributions. The knowledge that he was held in such high esteem by his fellow scientists brought a special pleasure and consolation to him in his last weeks. On Saturday evening, 9 July 1994, Paul Naghdi succumbed to the lung cancer which he had so courageously endured.

A Reflection of Hope By: Kathy Adams Holt I want to dedicate this book to my husband Jonathan E. Holt A reflection is a subject of thoughts and consideration for hope A look into the now with visions, dreams and aspirations for things yet to come As you reflect, your mind lets you wander to yesterday, today, tomorrow and beyond. Sometimes we reflect on troubled times. Yet trouble we haven’t even asked for We often get discouraged and give up easily. As you reflect, remember what Jesus said, “Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Don’t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me.’” Reflect on God’s words and the promises He made us

Book Description
"Amanda was no longer alone with her memories as an abducted child taken by Golthlay to the stronghold-- a place deep within the Sierra Madres during the late 1800s. There were others now, fellow travelers, those who have also journeyed, via an illness, an induced hallucination such as Valley Fever, or a spontaneous regression like the Apache brothers, Naiche and Tahza. They are the travelers who belong to a new tribe of souls, a tribe beyond race and tradition, a people who discover their spiritual path and find solace on Pa-Gotzin-Kay re-born."--Back cover.

Book Description
I have come to realize that when I look at the people around me, I never saw anyone like me. I was in first grade when I really came around to seeing myself as different. I was teased before that moment but did not understand where and why that was happening. It was early part of the 70s decade, and Vietnam was slowly coming to a close and people have come to misunderstand the Asian culture and that we were not all one in the same just like European people are not ALL the same-different countries, different culture, different people, and different thinking. We all have one thing in common. We are HUMAN and a very social group. With being human comes making mistakes and learning about each other.
