Guy Wheelock Edwards once remarked to his mother that he wished he were able to publish his poetry. His brother, Ralph Burris Wheelock opined that he was not blessed as a poet. Both brothers showed a poetic gift. This volume is both a memorial and a testament to their muse. Guy Wheelock suffered from rheumatic fever as a teenager and was never very healthy after that. However, he worked hard to provide for his family, putting his hand and his mind to many different tasks, from share-crop farming to making sorghum molasses to Swedish massage. It is said he had healing hands but never charged for his services. He and his wife, Miranda, raised their ten children on their Iowa farm. For leisure they would gather around the piano and sing hymns and recite poetry. Guy created his own instruments and played a hand-crafted guitar. He wrote poetry largely for his own enjoyment and to the delight of his children. Four of his sons served in World War II, two of them at the Battle of the Bulge. One, Robert, was killed in combat and was awarded a Silver Star for bravery after he saved his troop from a German tank. Guy was deeply affected by the war and many of his poems reflect his anguish over the war and the loss of his son. Ralph Burris Wheelock served as a minister in the Congregational church. When he passed away, his church published a small memorial booklet containing a few of Rev. Edwards' poems. The book continues with the poetry of David Wheelock Edwards, grandson of Guy, with the works of Kathy Latusick, a granddaughter, Ron Hildreth, grandson-in-law, and Kristina Ferguson, great-granddaughter, showcasing that The Edwards Muse is a generational talent, passed on through the family.

Presents a comprehensive reference to American involvement in the Korean War, including a chronology of major events, biographical sketches, related articles and a collection of maps.

An indispensable clinical resource and text, this book offers therapists evidence-based strategies to support families through life's inevitable transitions. Chapters explore typical life cycle stages--couple formation, parenthood, adolescence, young adulthood and midlife, and later life--and describe treatment principles for frequently encountered family challenges. The book normalizes developmental strains and underscores the significance of flexibility, adaptability, and resilience through adversity. Extensive case examples encompass a range of family forms, cultural and individual differences, and life cycle disruptions, including parental separation, illness, and loss.

* Proposes a radically new and thoroughly algorithmic approach to linear algebra * Each proof is an algorithm described in English that can be translated into the computer language the class is using and put to work solving problems and generating new examples * Designed for a one-semester course, this text gives the student many examples to work through and copious exercises to test their skills and extend their knowledge of the subject

The realm of poetry provides unquestionable permission for release of truths. With the jotting down of poetry in my mind and the translating of it on paper, I am able to free my spirit and release truth into lifes healing sphere. The collection of poems in This Is Life attempts to relate stories from a poetical standpoint. Some are personal. Some depict life's walks with family and friends, and others portray Patricia's observation of living. In this body of work, the author attempts to emphasize the value of life itself and provides a rediscovery of the importance of consistently reviewing, with intent to overhaul, the condition of our inner being by facing those truths which are sometimes denied.

Text developed for the first course in farm management, typically taken by a junior/senior level student. It is designed to introduce students to the key concepts on how to effectively manage a farm business.

The Korean War has often been regarded as a forgotten war, although that is certainly unfair. It was, if anything, a rather crucial war within the ambit of the Cold War, started by North Korea in 1950 and, although the bulk of the fighting was over by 1954, peace has never been concluded and the two sides still face off over the demilitarized zone. On the other side of the zone is South Korea, which has since become a very prosperous and democratic country, while North Korea has achieved relatively little. So, that war is certainly not forgotten by the Koreans. And, given the large number of deaths and casualties, it is still remembered by many in the United States and other allies, as well as China and the Soviet Union. This Historical Dictionary of the Korean War, now in its second edition, does much to jolt our memory and inform us about the war. This is done first in a lengthy chronology, tracking the war but also the path to war and what happened after. The introduction covers the war as a whole, trying to make sense of it. The dictionary section provides all of the necessary details on significant persons, places and events, battles and other engagements, military units and material, as well as the political, economic and social background. There are also maps and a list of acronyms. This is really the ideal source for information, in addition to which, it also has an extensive bibliography.

This introduction to algebraic number theory via the famous problem of "Fermats Last Theorem" follows its historical development, beginning with the work of Fermat and ending with Kummers theory of "ideal" factorization. The more elementary topics, such as Eulers proof of the impossibilty of x+y=z, are treated in an uncomplicated way, and new concepts and techniques are introduced only after having been motivated by specific problems. The book also covers in detail the application of Kummers theory to quadratic integers and relates this to Gauss'theory of binary quadratic forms, an interesting and important connection that is not explored in any other book.
