The rugged mountains around North Bend hold some giant secrets, some of the townspeople are believers, but most don't want to talk about it. One man is intent on finding out what lives in the Cedar Creek Watershed. This curiosity places him deep in the unforgiving forest running for his life. Being hunted by creatures that dwarf him. With no weapon to defend himself, all he can do is run. His fate in the hands of his pursuers. Word spreads that there has been another spotting of Bigfoot, and the town is inundated with hunters, news media, reality television production crews and very odd characters caught up in the hubbub. Chief Ranger Notworst is dealing with unruly visitors to the campground at Rattlesnake Lake. Sheriff Harrington has his hands full just trying to keep the peace. The bigfoot hunters multiply this by descending on the town in a horrific traffic jam. The sheriff tries to keep the peace, and the President of the United States declares North Bend an emergency disaster, which brings in the National Guard and the Red Cross to aid the stranded. This confusion is all fueled by a news reporter, Wendy Storms, an unwanted guest of North Bend. The sleepy town of North Bend is about to be hit by the apocalyptic wrath of the black orb. A man gets burned to death, and Wendy Storms declares it an act of terrorism which brings secret government agencies to town. Confusing and complicating the already complex situation. Looting and break-ins cause mayhem, and a wrongly accused Rebeca Love stands trial for the crimes. It looks as if she may be prison bound. But the one man who went missing returns to save her from her accuser, prosecuting attorney Rupert Longarm.

Psychotherapy is a scientifically proven form of treatment, and neuroscience has justified hypnosis as a convenient method to train our minds to change our brains. However, hypnosis remains widely misunderstood. This volume clears up many misconceptions surrounding the practice by exploring it as a part of psychodynamic psychotherapy. In this context, hypnosis involves the activation of the patient's fantasy to create a new inner reality of the self, so that this reality can take the place of the old one for personal enrichment of the individual. Presenting new evidence from neuroscience and the ancient wisdom of Buddhism and detailing many short case studies, this work reveals the essence of hypnosis and demonstrates the benefits of this often misunderstood mind activity.

A fascinating, and disturbing, story of an urban high school's struggle to survive in the post-integration era of educational reformThomas Jefferson High School faced court-ordered busing, student unrest, white flight, district-sponsored alternative schools, high school consolidation, budget crises, closure threats, magnet programs, and co-existence with a Governor's School. Each event impacted the culture of academic excellence that had been painstakingly crafted during the school's first thirty years. This book offers a history of Tee-Jay from its inception in 1930 through its "glory days," covers the school's efforts to deal with the challenges of the post-integration era, and concludes with a discussion of what the Tee-Jay story can tell us about the future of academic high schools and integration in the urban areas of the United States.
The Christian church continues to seek ethical and spiritual models from the period of Israel's monarchy and has avoided the gravity of the Babylonian exile. Against this tradition, the author argues that the period of focus for the canonical construction of biblical thought is precisely the exile. Here the voices of dissent arose and articulated words of truth in the context of failed power.
Today's church finds itself in a new world, one in which climate change and ecological degradation are front-page news. In the eyes of many, the evangelical community has been slow to take up a call to creation care. How do Christians address this issue in a faithful way?This evangelically centered but ecumenically informed introduction to ecological theology (ecotheology) explores the global dimensions of creation care, calling Christians to meet contemporary ecological challenges with courage and hope. The book provides a biblical, theological, ecological, and historical rationale for earthcare as well as specific practices to engage both individuals and churches. Drawing from a variety of Christian traditions, the book promotes a spirit of hospitality, civility, honesty, and partnership. It includes a foreword by Bill McKibben and an afterword by Matthew Sleeth.
What strategies can a government use to end violent ethnic conflicts in the long term? Under what conditions do these strategies work best, and what are their limitations? Are there some ethnic conflicts that governments simply cannot solve? Drawing on an intimate knowledge of the Middle East as well as the experiences of trouble spots in Asia, Africa, and Europe, political scientist and RAND analyst Daniel Byman examines how government policies can affect-and, in some cases, prevent-the recurrence of violent ethnic conflict. Byman identifies and describes five key strategies: coercing groups and leaders, coopting key elites, changing group identities, implementing power sharing systems, and partitioning states. After weighing the strengths and weaknesses of each of these internal solutions, he also considers the benefits and risks of outside intervention. But Byman's prescription is tempered with realism. "Even under the best circumstances," he concludes, "no single strategy is sufficient to keep the peace after a bloody ethnic war. Only the optimal combination of multiple strategies, implemented in the proper sequence, will ensure success."
