Ann Davis

Ann Davis has suffered with major depression most of her life. She attempted suicide twice before the age of 30. Because she was abandoned as a toddler, and experienced verbal and physical abuse from her new family, she spent most of her life seeking the love she craved. This book is about how she suffered from the effects of abandonment, and rejection, and how her relationship with God has rescued her from their pain. The stories of her life are many and diverse, including sexual and physical abuse, failed marriages, suicide attempts, relationship issues, life transitions, and spiritual deliverance. You will see how God can rescue you from your self pity, and demonic oppression, and bring you into a life of peace and thanksgiving.

Money is usually understood as a valuable object, the value of which is attributed to it by its users and which other users recognize. It serves to link disparate institutions, providing a disguised whole and prime tool for the “invisible hand” of the market.This book offers an interpretation of money as a social institution. Money provides the link between the household and the firm, the worker and his product, making that very division seem natural and money as imminently practical. Money as a Social Institution begins in the medieval period and traces the evolution of money alongside consequent implications for the changing models of the corporation and the state. This is then followed with double-entry accounting as a tool of long-distance merchants and bankers, then the monitoring of the process of production by professional corporate managers. Davis provides a framework of analysis for examining money historically, beyond the operation of those particular institutions, which includes the possibility of conceptualizing and organizing the world differently.This volume is of great importance to academics and students who are interested in economic history and history of economic thought, as well as international political economics and critique of political economy.

This book of poetry is a continuation of the messages found in Songs from the Heart, the author's first published work. Words that encourage faith and strengthen the heart for love and service are found in the pages of this book. Sometimes eliciting tears and occasionally coaxing a smile, the messages are fresh and yet timeless. The author continues to write when inspired by words that seem to flow onto the page to create a compelling message for Christians and those seeking a foundational belief system. Poetry is word art in its purest form. Christian poetry is form meeting function: "God's will is that none should perish" (2 Pet. 3:9). Let these words reach into the recesses of your soul to rekindle hope in a loving Savior.

This book is a culmination of fifty-eight years of transcribing thoughts that, when penned, evolved as poetry about faith, hope, pain, love, grace, and forgiveness. I never set down to write. I only captured the words that would begin to dance in my mind and watch as the remainder of the message fell into place. Sometimes, it would be several in a cluster. Or only one at a time. There would be months and, sometimes, years between. In this last year, there has been a more consistent flow. I can't explain why. I can only say that I am humbled to be used in this way. If anyone reads these words and finds solace and hope, I believe my mission has been accomplished.

Marion Nicoll (1909-1985) is a widely acknowledged and important founder of Alberta art and certainly one of a dedicated few that brought abstraction into practice in the province. Her life and career is a story of determination, of dedication to her vision regardless of professional or personal challenges. Nicoll became the first woman instructor hired at the Provincial Institute of Art and Technology (now the Alberta College of Art and Design) - and although limited to teaching craft and design, she became a significant mentor for generations of artists. Contributions by Ann Davis, Elizabeth Herbert, and Jennifer Salahub.

When the shadow of the Back River Light fell on Sash Kane, the scion of a Pennsylvania family, newspapers up and down the East Coast reported all the details of Elizabeth City County's murder case of the century. The ""other woman,"" Kane's autobiographical sketch, and the Dreiser novel, banned in Boston, found in Kane's Roadster, was the stuff that sold papers. Had fiction mimicked life and, then, life mimicked fiction? Had this university professor held Jenny Kane's ""head beneath the waters of the Chesapeake Bay until she drowned,"" Down by the Back River Light?

During the first several months of U.S. participation in World War II, our East Coast was menaced by German's u-boats. The submarines were sinking an average of a ship-a-day and they had suffered no loses. But at midnight on April 13, 1942, the U.S.S. Roper discovered the U-85 recharging its batteries off the coast of North Carolina. The U-85 was the first U-boat sunk in American waters. The Roper would have been the most celebrated destroyer in the U.S. Navy had it not been for the captain's next order. In Time Will Tell, Ann Davis reveals the truth about the burial of twenty-nine German sailor's in Hampton, Virginia's National Cemetery. Why were they buried at night though with "military honors?"
