Book Description
The exclusive dinner party event of the season?where the guest are dying to leave.Eccentric and elderly socialite, Elizabeth Headstrom, hosts an annual lavishly themed party at her family's sprawling estate. Always fascinated with anything supernatural, Ms. Headstrom determined this year's theme would center around a particular superstition. This year, she was to host a dinner party of just thirteen guests. She wanted to test the adage that if one broke the circle of thirteen at the table, then misery would befall all in attendance. Only those who have been most notable in certain circles, and some not exactly for the best of reasons, were chosen to attend this year's event. All the infamous guests accept her invite, unaware of the theme, as well as unaware of just how far the evening's events would go.

Book Description
The body-scale relation, calculated length, length-weight relation, age at maturity, and sex ratio of 13 major species collected at Lake Oahe from 1963 to 1968 with trap nets and bottom trawls are described. Eight species grew at a faster rate than has been recorded in other Missouri River reservoirs: goldeye, bigmouth buffalo, smallmouth buffalo, white bass, black crappie, white crappie, walleye, and freshwater drum. Four species grew at rates similar to those recorded from other Missouri River reserviors: carp, yellow perch, northern pike, and sauger. One species -- river carpsucker -- grew slower than in other waters. Growth generally was excellent for all major species in the early years of impoundment (1959-62) but then declined. Although inundation of new lands was associated with rapid growth of fishes in the early years of impoundment, water level fluctuations during the growing season had no discernable effect on growth rate. Increased average reservoir depth, which decreased the amount of littoral area, was associated with decreased fish growth.

Book Description
The startling and ultimately uplifting narrative of one woman's thirteen-year experience as a foster parent. For more than a decade, Kathy Harrison has sheltered a shifting cast of troubled youngsters-the offspring of prostitutes and addicts; the sons and daughters of abusers; and teenage parents who aren't equipped for parenthood. All this, in addition to raising her three biological sons and two adopted daughters. What would motivate someone to give herself over to constant, largely uncompensated chaos? For Harrison, the answer is easy. Another Place at the Table is the story of life at our social services' front lines, centered on three children who, when they come together in Harrison's home, nearly destroy it. It is the frank first-person story of a woman whose compassionate best intentions for a child are sometimes all that stand between violence and redemption.
