Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - John Henry Holliday steps off the train at Atlanta's Union Station, fresh out of the Pennsylvania Dental College, and into Mattie's arms. But the storybook romance between the young dentist and his cousin is cut short by disease and family strife. Some close relatives are grousing at the couple to b…reak off their relationship, but they are unwilling to bow to family pressures. However his financial reverses and physical health conspire to make that happen. John Henry is diagnosed with tuberculosis and doctors suggest a dryer climate in the West. Mattie pleads to go with him but John Henry says no and travels to Dallas alone. The dry climate stabilizes his condition, but he is unable to make a living from his dental practice. Dispirited and alone he is eventually attracted to saloon life where he takes a new name and calling -- Doc Holliday -- frontier gambler. Kate Elder, a spunky little saloon girl, sets her sights on Doc. And when trouble comes at Ft. Griffin and a noose is about to be tied around Doc's neck Kate executes a daring escape plan and the two ride north, through Indian territory, to Dodge City, Kansas. Doc sets up a dental practice in the cattle town and becomes acquainted with the likes of Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Luke Short and Eddie Foy. When a wild bunch of drunken cowboy's corner Wyatt Earp Doc hurries to his rescue with a 38 in one hand and a 44 in the other. That moment was the beginning of a lifelong friendship. Wyatt Earp would never forget that day at Dodge City when Doc Holliday using courage and grit saved his life. Doc's tenuous relationship with Kate dragged along simply because he was beholden to her for saving him from the hangman's noose at Ft. Griffin. Their tumultuous relationship continued though as they follow the migration of the Dodge City crowd south to Tombstone, Arizona. A corrupt political ring backs the cowboy-outlaw faction with the complicity of the Cochise County Sheriff. Doc has friends in both camps, but joins Wyatt and his brothers on the side of law and order, where his courage and loyalty are once again tested, when he stands with the Earps, in the shootout, at the Ok Corral. Doc survives the gunfight, but death from tuberculosis is never far away. Mattie, desperate in her loneliness, writes that she had become a nun, and with those vows has taken a new name -- Sister Mary Melanie. Doc is stung by the news, but he is quick to realize that it was his own neglect that had placed Mattie in the nunnery. He is fully aware that his days are numbered, but he never wavers in his love for the girl back home. Following Doc's death Wyatt Earp spoke of his friend and said, 'Doc was the most skillful gambler and the speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun I ever knew.'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The students of this generation face stiffer competition than their parents in getting admission to colleges and winning scholarships. The vast number of children of baby boomers coming of age in the last decade combined with the large influx of new immigrants during this period has created a… huge tidal wave of teenagers knocking on the proverbial doors of higher education. As demand for college admissions have soared, colleges and universities have seized the opportunity to raise their fees well beyond the rate of inflation. In response to this, parents have begun to pay close attention to their children's activities during and after school from the elementary school level on and up with a view to increasing their children's chances of gaining admission to the top colleges and winning scholarships. Even the media have gotten into the act of providing guidance on selecting the best colleges and graduate schools. There is currently no comprehensive guide for students / parents on the available options for financing their education beginning from middle school and continuing on till graduate school. This book seeks to fill that void and more. It not only provides guidance on available scholarships, types of government sponsored savings accounts and education loans but also goes on to reveal strategies on getting some of those loans forgiven. Beyond that, it provides parents and students important pointers on receiving different types of IRS tax credits and ways of claiming tax deduction for their kids' education or their own education. Also, winning prestigious math and science scholarships are not only a resume builder but also an enabler in raising the student's chances of gaining admission to the top Ivy League schools. So, this is a must have book for students, parents and school counselors.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Honest story of personal devastation, healing and spiritual search. Wonderful blending: personal narrative, life lessons, poetry and philosophy, river and ocean as one; river of life flowing into the ocean. -Brother Satyananda Self-Realization Fellowship This book is one of the noblest works that I…have ever read. Its theme reveals the magic and inner beauty of the soul of a queen of beauty. -Ghada Samman, a writer, a poetess, and a novelist. Her work has been translated to many languages. I was enticed to read the book with an avid desire and taste its overwhelming grief, as though grief dwelt not in my life nor has it shrouded my heart's throbbing. It is a unique love story, pregnant with a cloud that pours down tears instead of water. -Jumanah Taha, a well-known creative writer and poetess This book is also an autobiography of the soul that triumphs over the alternating life's events and affairs; for the soul is but god's rays. -Dr. Issa Boullata, McGill University, Canada This is a concise autobiography, crafted in a charming style reminiscent of a novel, and full of poetic insights.This is the sotry of a woman of strong will and faith, able to pull herself out from the depths of a life of sorrow, anguish and the agony that haunted her following the loss of her beloved son and mother in a tragic accident. She made a conscious decision to continue to lead her peaceful life, fi nding meaning in raising her daughter with the same values she was raised by her own parents. Her own keen instincts guided her to seek the works of the great spiritualists, and there she indulged herself in reading and learning much. I found it a joy to read Dr. Sylvie's book and to learn of the wisdom derived from her own unique personal experiences.-Dr. Bassam Frangieh, Yale University.
