Book Description
Eight girls grew up in a foster home. Eight women are running from their past. When the girls arrive at Mrs. Stephanos's foster home, they are a bit jaded by life. They are taught how to work hard, be self reliant, and not to covet things that are evil. They learn some valuable life lessons, which is why as soon as they turn eighteen, they run. Never looking back. Now thirty-five years later, the baubles they were assigned to look after as a child, are now being sent out to each of the foster sisters. And they are worth millions. Who is sending them? And who is trying to steal them? And shut the sisters up for good? Book 1 – Fostered Identity Can they catch a thief by being a thief?

She thinks. But he’s homeless. Or is he? Her mother has just acquired an expensive piece of jewelry, that is tied to her past. In seeking answers, Lana discovers she has put her family in the direct path of a man willing to do anything to get back what is his.

At her father's request, Dayna searches into her mom's past, which reveals—religious zealots, a dead girl, and on her own at age sixteen.

A Student's Guide Through the Great Physics Texts
Author: Kerry Kuehn
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331921828X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
This book provides a chronological introduction to modern atomic theory, which represented an attempt to reconcile the ancient doctrine of atomism with careful experiments—performed during the 19th century—on the flow of heat through substances and across empty space. Included herein are selections from classic texts such as Carnot’s Reflection on the Motive Power of Fire, Clausius’ Mechanical Theory of Heat, Rutherford’s Nuclear Constitution of Atoms, Planck’s Atomic Theory of Matter and Heisenberg’s Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Theory. Each chapter begins with a short introduction followed by a reading selection. Carefully crafted study questions draw out key points in the text and focus the reader’s attention on the author’s methods, analysis and conclusions. Numerical and laboratory exercises at the end of each chapter test the reader’s ability to understand and apply key concepts from the text. Heat, Radiation and Quanta is the last of four volumes in A Student’s Guide through the Great Physics Texts. The book comes from a four-semester undergraduate physics curriculum designed to encourage a critical and circumspect approach to natural science while at the same time preparing students for advanced coursework in physics. This book is particularly suitable as a college-level textbook for students of the natural sciences, history or philosophy. It might also serve as a textbook for advanced high-school or home-schooled students, or as a thematically-organized source-book for scholars and motivated lay-readers. In studying the classic scientific texts included herein, the reader will be drawn toward a lifetime of contemplation.

Andi's life takes a terrifying turn when her once trusted mother starts keeping secrets… dangerous secrets. And evading her. To make matters worse, their neighbor—the surrogate mother she cherished—is now armed and skulking about, wielding a gun like a dark omen.
