I could fix anything. Since I was old enough to hold a wrench. Yeah, weird for a girl.There were people out there that didn't want me to succeed. Some because I was a genius, some because I was a girl.They couldn't understand advanced steam technology, turbines replacing piston-drive - and didn't think any "bimbo" could, either.Most of those who caused me trouble had a worse problem - they were trapped in their own mind.And didn't want to be freed.When I met my former high school classmate, he gave me the clue that brilliant old me never thought of. He had discovered a secret that allowed me to get around their roadblocks, and to go ahead and invent anything I imagined - at a vast profit.And he ended up changing my life in ways I could never imagine...This collection contains: - The Girl Who Built Tomorrow - The Girl Who Saved Tomorrow - The Girl Who Became TomorrowExcerpt: "Life isn't fair " I cried out to no one in particular in the cluttered machine shed I called my shop.I would have run to my mother's skirts to bury my tear-soaked face in her lap, except I'd long been trained that this would only make the teasing worse.I was better off getting a clean work rag - one that didn't have oil or grease on it, or something worse - and wipe them away. "Just suck it up, bimbo." That's what I learned to tell myself. With five older brothers, I got treated like just another son in the family. They all taught me from an early age that tears didn't matter. And even if they got a tongue-lashing from Mom, I'd still inherit a little hell-on-earth later for every story I blubbered to her. Not that I'd ever get touched, although that happened. And they'd get away with it as long as they didn't leave a mark or rip any of my clothes. But the worst was when they would wreck something I was working on.And that's how I taught them to leave me alone. Because I was a better "fixer" than any of them. Once they found that out, they'd bring their stuff to me rather than try to figure it out for themselves.And when the teasing got real bad, they'd wind up with something of theirs suddenly out start to run badly - or wouldn't run at all. Right when they needed it the most. Of course, they couldn't prove I'd done it.So they quickly learned to stay on my good side. And stay out of my shop. And never, ever, "borrow" my tools.Because it wouldn't stop until they did. I was just built that way. "Eye for an eye" type of gal. "Hell hath no fury..." and all that. When they started racing, life got better for me. They learned that their little sister was an advantage no one else had. The machines I worked on for them gave them an edge - they performed better, ran faster, lasted longer than anyone else's. And if they wanted something special done, I'd find little gifts on my workbench - or somewhere I'd notice. That worked just great. They won their races, and my life got easier.Until I discovered how nice boys could be outside my family. Ones who didn't need their machines fixed or tuned. The ones that gave me stuff because they liked me.But wasn't prepared to find someone who really understood me. Even my parents didn't get the scope of what they had created...Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.

Father Tom Greer and Detective Helen Parr are deeply in love. Unwilling to break his vows of celibacy and chastity, they've been determined to forge a relationship based on friendship and affection only, never giving in to their physical attraction to each other. But God, it seems, has another plan . . . After receiving news that the Church has decided to allow priests in certain circumstances to request a dispensation to marry and remain in the priesthood, Father Tom and Helen are patiently waiting to hear if he's been given permission by the Pope. Aided by Anna, they begin to date secretly and discuss what their life together might look like. But when Chad Hudson, Chief of Staff to Myer College President Richard Davenport, is struck and killed by a van driven by Gladys Finklestein, Father Tom and Helen are soon pulled into a murder investigation--with Gladys as the prime suspect. As they investigate, they learn more about Gladys' past as Richard Davenport's teenage lover. About what happened that led her to end their relationship. And why Gladys had a public argument with Chad days before his death. Then, Father Tom finds a connection between this accident and another accident sixteen years earlier . . . the one that cost Gladys her parents and the ability to walk. As Helen helps her learn the truth about her parent's death, Tom helps Gladys come to terms with her past choices--and to understand what her future could be. Enjoy a story of mystery, love, sin, and redemption in this, the fifth book in The Father Tom Mysteries. Includes a sneak peak of The Silent Shooter, the sixth book in The Father Tom Mysteries, coming in April

Microearthquake Seismology and Seismotectonics of South Asia

Microearthquake Seismology and Seismotectonics of South Asia

Hardly a week passes without our learning of natural geologic disaster somewhere in the world, be it a volcanic eruption, landslide, or destructive earthquake. The prominent public notice given to such events is not only the result of better communications, but also results from the increased impact of these events on a growing human population. In recent years, the population has increased greatly in regions of active tectonics. Northern India and the surrounding areas are prime examples. The consequence is that people and their man-made structures are concentrated close to active faults and steep, landslide-prone terrains. In just the past several years, even moderate earthquakes with seismic magnitudes less than 6. 5 have killed as many as 20,000 people precisely because these earthquakes occurred directly beneath population centres in central India. The greater Himalayan region, including the Ganges Plain, is a prime example of the coexistence of a pronounced geological hazard with a growing human population. Due in part to the spectacular topography, the region has long attracted scientific investigations, and may be considered as the birthplace of modern studies of earthquake hazards. R. D. Oldham (1858-1936) of the Geological Survey of India played a prominent role in the development of modern studies of historical seismicity, active faulting and seismic wave analysis. Oldham published extensively on the earthquakes and the geology of India, including his report entitled “Catalogue of Indian earthquakes from the earliest time to the end of A. D. 1869” (Mem. Geol. Surv.

Building Late Churches in North Hampshire

Building Late Churches in North Hampshire

Focusing on the period from the mid-eighteenth century to the First World War, this volume covers a major boom in church building, fuelled by population growth and heightened religiosity as well as socio-economic change, with 115 built or substantially modified in the north Hampshire area under study. Allen takes a geological angle in examining these churches, tracing the distribution and use of different materials through the county, as well as imported materials.

Whetstones from Roman Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum) North Hampshire Character manufacture provenance and use

Whetstones from Roman Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum) North Hampshire Character manufacture provenance and use

The five-hundred year occupation of Insula IX at Silchester has yielded a sequence of 87 whetstones, mostly tabular but some bar- or rod-shaped. These are described, illustrated and characterized with the help of thin-section microscopic petrography. The whetstones originated in many geological sources, not all of which can at present be identified. Whetstones from the earliest levels at Silchester are comparatively local in origin (sarsen, ironstone) or were made from discarded, imported milling stones (Quartz Conglomerate, Upper Old Red Sandstone). During the first and second centuries AD substantial number of bar-shaped whetstones manufactured in the Wroxeter manner from sandstones in the Weald Clay Formation (earliest Cretaceous) were imported into Silchester. Almost all the whetstones of the later Roman period are secondary in character produced from discarded roofing tiles of Brownstones (Lower Old Red Sandstone) and Pennant sandstone (later Upper Carboniferous) imported from the West Country. Small numbers of whetstones can be traced to the Portland Group (Upper Jurassic) and to the Lower and Upper Greensand Groups (Lower Cretaceous). The provision of sharpening stones to Silchester as a whole is estimated to run into many thousands.
