Over the last one hundred years, scientists have revealed answers about the sun, earth, universe, and life itself that have eluded mankind for most of its existence. Despite these rapid and enormous advances in human knowledge, most people remain woefully ignorant about the major scientific mysteries that have been solved in our lifetimes. From revealing the speed of light to discovering when the dinosaurs went extinct to knowing when organs first begin to form in a human embryo, this book brings the reader up to date on key concepts of scientific literacy. Told in short answers that use the power of numbers to explain science, this book will appeal to children, teenagers, and adults alike. It can be useful teaching tool for classroom instructors and a quick primer in science for adults. It can be read in a single session while flying on a plane or traveling as a passenger in a car. The author's succinct and well-phrased explanations will help readers talk with authority about science matters. Wondering how old the Earth is? Dr. Fruncillo's answers helpfully explain that when the universe was about nine billion years old, a large dust cloud began to condense in on itself in a process that would eventually create the sun and the planets. While many of the answers provide newer information to old questions such as the dawn of our upright-walking human ancestors to the number of transistors on a computer chip, Fruncillo is unafraid to tackle some of the harder questions whose answers scientists have only recently begun to elucidate. As an example from molecular biology, the author asks "How many times a day ia a human cell at risk for the development of cancer". The answer is a surprising one million times a day. According to researchers, the initiation of cancer can begin anytime DNA is damaged, and in humans, DNA is damaged at a staggering rate of a million times per day. Fortunately, for us, we posess remankably agile and attentive DNA repair mechanisms that patrol up and down the DNA strand, looking for damage and restoring the affected cells back to normal health. 50 Science Numbers Everyone Should Know is an easy-to-read gold mine of current science facts.

Uncovers the often overlooked participation of African Americans and Native Americans in early Protestant churches Phillis Wheatley was stolen from her family in Senegambia, and, in 1761, slave traders transported her to Boston, Massachusetts, to be sold. She was purchased by the Wheatley family who treated Phillis far better than most eighteenth-century slaves could hope, and she received a thorough education while still, of course, longing for her freedom. After four years, Wheatley began writing religious poetry. She was baptized and became a member of a predominantly white Congregational church in Boston. More than ten years after her enslavement began, some of her poetry was published in London, England, as a book titled Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. This book is evidence that her experience of enslavement was exceptional. Wheatley remains the most famous black Christian of the colonial era. Though her experiences and accomplishments were unique, her religious affiliation with a predominantly white church was quite ordinary. Dividing the Faith argues that, contrary to the traditional scholarly consensus, a significant portion of northern Protestants worshipped in interracial contexts during the eighteenth century. Yet in another fifty years, such an affiliation would become increasingly rare as churches were by-and-large segregated. Richard Boles draws from the records of over four hundred congregations to scrutinize the factors that made different Christian traditions either accessible or inaccessible to African American and American Indian peoples. By including Indians, Afro-Indians, and black people in the study of race and religion in the North, this research breaks new ground and uses patterns of church participation to illuminate broader social histories. Overall, it explains the dynamic history of racial integration and segregation in northern colonies and states.

With this insightful analysis, Richard J. Connors Ph.D. commemorates the contribution of the State of New Jersey and its citizens on the centennial anniversary of World War I. Because of its coastal location and much-needed industry, New Jersey played a significant role both prior to and during America's declared involvement.Historical detail brings to life pre-war America and the daily lives of those who would sacrifice so much. From immigration to industry and infrastructure, we see the factors that contributed to the war effort. Well before America's formal entry to the war, supplies and volunteers to European forces shaped public perception and involvement and laid the groundwork. Once war was declared, the bulk of New Jersey's National Guard units, draftees, and volunteers served in two US Army Divisions, the 29th and the 78th; their roles in particular are meticulously researched. New Jersey and the Great War offers a fresh look at the background and aftermath of a state uniquely poised in its preparation for world-wide war.About the Author Richard J. Connors, Ph.D., is Professor Emeritus at Seton Hall University. He received his undergraduate degree at Seton Hall and his graduate degrees from Columbia University. His major publications are A Cycle of Power: The Local Political Career of Mayor Frank Hague; The Process of Constitutional Revision in New Jersey, 1940-1947; The Government of New Jersey (with William Dunham); and The New Jersey Constitution of 1776. He has contributed articles to The Encyclopedia of New Jersey, The Governors of New Jersey, The Dictionary of American Biography, and other venues. An Army veteran, Dr. Connors was an officer in the Corps of Engineers, serving with the Army of Occupation on Okinawa in 1947 and in Korea from 1951-1952. He currently resides in Neptune City, New Jersey.

The publisher is William R. Parks - www.wrparks.com This book is available from the publisher at quantity discounts to bookstores, libraries, schools, book club discussion groups and Internet booksellers at 50% discount when ordering 25 or more copies - the discount price is $2.75 per copy. Email: Stanwrite (at) aol.com. The following was posted Mar. 6, 2012 by Marriage Unique for a Reason: "Bishop Richard Malone of Portland, Maine (who is now Bishop of Buffalo, NY) wrote a pastoral letter on marriage on the occasion of World Marriage Day, this past February 12, 2012: "Marriage: Yesterday - Today - Always." The letter clearly reflects the bishop's role as teacher (see "Catechism of the Catholic Church," nos. 888-892): it lays out the foundations for the Church's teaching on marriage as found in sacred Scripture, sacred Tradition, and the natural law. It responds to the contemporary challenge of the proposal to redefine marriage but does so in the context of an expansive vision of marriage's timeless beauty and essential place in society. In sum, Bishop Malone's letter serves as a timely "mini catechesis" on marriage and a firm but gentle reminder of what society stands to lose if marriage is redefined in the law."Bishop Malone obtained his doctorate in theology from Boston University in 1981 and was a college teacher and a chaplain at various colleges including Wellesley, Regis, Harvard and Radcliffe.Bishop Malone provides a very convincing proof for traditional marriage. Citizens should be more informed about the principles involved in advocating traditional marriage and opposing same sex marriage. The fate of the world and the future of our nation depends on proper behavior in family life and morally wholesome living standards.
