The Indian Battle at Claremore Mound near Claremore, Oklahoma, occurred in 1817 between the Osage and Cherokee Indian tribes. The Osage were attacked by the Cherokee and the ensuing battle was devastating to the Osage Indians. In this exciting and informative tale, Running Brook, a young Indian maiden, tells the story of her great-great-great-grandfather, who survived the attack. The story was written with middle school children in mind; however, I believe that anyone might enjoy the story.

Investigative reporter Roni Mayfield returns to her crumbling Nevada hometown to avenge a friend’s brutal death—only to be hunted by the same twisted serial killer Caroline Holt’s body was found in her bed, covered in blood, her wrists cut, a framed wedding photo on her chest. The death was quickly ruled a suicide, but investigative reporter Roni Mayfield suspects foul play—especially after receiving a terrified message from Caroline hours earlier. What really happened to Caroline that night? What shadowy secrets—secrets that may have cost Caroline her life—are lurking below the surface in this eerie Nevada town? One thing is for certain: In Eagleton, Nevada, what you know can kill you—and Roni is next. Written by New York Times– and USA Today–bestselling author Carol Luce Davis, Night Passage is a gristly and chilling tale that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

Couples who kill comprise only 20 percent of killers, but they often murder serially and are responsible for particularly inhumane deaths. Davis explores the formative influences of these killers and their deadly dynamics.

For more than 20 years, Integrative Therapies in Rehabilitation continues to be a most researched resource on complementary and alternative therapies in rehabilitation. This renowned text, now in its Fourth Edition, relates the updated scientific evidence and the clinical efficacy of integrating what have now become well known complementary and alternative therapies in rehabilitation to successfully improve patient outcomes. This text has been developed to accompany university courses in complementary and alternative therapies, as a reference manual for clinical practices, and as a resource for those interested in the science behind holistic therapies. Holistic therapies are those therapies not commonly found in allopathic medicine that are intended to stimulate a therapeutic response from both the body – neuromusculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary systems – and the mind. Integrative Therapies in Rehabilitation, Fourth Edition by Dr. Carol M. Davis is particularly designed for those health professionals who want to understand the scientific foundation and peer reviewed research supporting complementary and alternative therapies. The Fourth Edition is divided into two parts. The beginning chapters describe the latest cellular biology science and explain the theories put forth on the overall mechanisms of action of the effect of these various therapies on the soft tissue, fascia and nervous systems. The first part also chronicles the advancement of scientific research in the various therapies since the 1980’s to explain, in cellular physiology terms, the outcomes observed by using a number of holistic therapies. The second part presents various therapies commonly integrated with allopathic therapies in rehabilitation – body work therapies, mind/body therapies, and energy work therapies. The text describes each therapy with a history, cellular mechanism of action, and an up-dated reference section of the evidence of efficacy for the therapy as reported in the literature, often concluding with a case example. Integrative Therapies in Rehabilitation, Fourth Edition will be the go-to resource for health professionals to understand the scientific evidence and efficacy of complementary and alternative therapies for rehabilitation and improving patient outcomes.

When I opened my first karate school twenty six years ago, I would never have thought I would be dealing with parents who grew marijuana, had fist fights in my lobby, or moms who cheated on their husbands with other moms. I never thought I'd deal with a mom so drunk she pissed her pants while waiting to pick up her child, or a boy who drew pictures with his own "poo" on the walls of my bathroom. My instructor never taught me how to defend myself against these types of attackers. It is my hope that by reading this book people will be more conscience of their words and actions when in the presence of their children or other people's children. People that become parents, guardians, coaches, teachers, mentors, or who influence children will become more aware how important their role is. Parents must understand if they want to see a change in their child, they must be the change they want to see.
