Surviving Heartbreak Valley
Author: Linda Fay Walls
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1608605310
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
A wrenching true tale of loss and redemption, Surviving Heartbreak Valley is the story of a woman who suffers the worst tragedy imaginable but somehow finds the courage to go on with life. In 1989 Linda Walls had put an abusive relationship behind her, graduated college, and was ready to start a new chapter in life. Then one night she returned home to find her house burning with her four children trapped inside. The children's father, Bernon Howery, a violent man who stalked Linda following their break-up, had ignited the blaze. In 1991 he was sentenced to death for his deeds. Linda meanwhile began the difficult process of putting her life back together. Rather than simply drowning in a sea of despair, she dedicated herself to preventing what had happened to her from befalling others. She became an advocate against stalking and domestic violence, conducting seminars and even appearing on Oprah and a Diane Sawyer documentary. But with Bernon Howery fighting to have his death sentence overturned, Linda's battle for justice and to establish a new life for herself was far from over. About the Author: Linda Fay Walls is a first-time author and advocate against domestic violence. A decade on from that tragic night in 1989, she gave birth to her now-teenage daughter and the two of them live happily in Illinois. For more information visit http: //www.lindawalls.net.

Physiological Processes in Plant Ecology
Author: C.B. Osmond
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642676375
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
In the spring of 1969 a small meeting was convened at the CSIRO Riverina Laboratory, Deniliquin, New South Wales, to discuss the biology of the genus Atriplex, a group of plants considered by those who attended to be of profound importance both in relation to range management in the region and as a tool in physiological research. The brief report of this meeting (Jones, 1970) now serves as a marker for the subsequent remarkable increase in research on this genus, and served then to interest the editors of the Ecological Studies Series in the present volume. This was an exciting time in plant physiology, particularly in the areas of ion absorption and photosynthesis, and unknowingly several laboratories were engaged in parallel studies of these processes using the genus Atriplex. It was also a time at which it seemed that numerical methods in plant ecology could be used to delineate significant processes in arid shrubland ecosystems. Nevertheless, to presume to illustrate and integrate plant physiology and ecology using examples from a single genus was to presume much. The deficiencies which became increasingly apparent during the preparation of the present book were responsible for much new research described in these pages.
