Gathering Clouds combines historical reality with psychological drama. Betty Benson illuminates the global events and social mores of this pre-war time through the lives of her characters. They are teachers and students at a Junior College and each carries his or her own struggle with identity and desire. The book opens at the infamous 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany, a period before the full Nazi agenda would be known. It takes the reader to the brutal invasion of Poland, the bombings of London, the mosquito infested jungles of Burma and closes with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Most of the psychological intrigue takes place outside of Cleveland, Ohio and in Cape May, New Jersey, where sexual allusion, complete with taboos and frustration, prove more exciting than the sexual explicitness of today. This book shows beautifully the intersection of biography with international decisions and allows the reader a glimpse into how private dilemmas are strongly affected by world politics.

After a special study of many Biblical texts, the authors stated that, as a result of this study, their faith was much stronger. They were encouraged to write about these texts and share their findings with fellow Christians. From the responses they received, the authors were convinced that it was these scripture texts themselves that were crying out, Share our message with all believers everywhere! They then recognized, in hundreds of texts, the formation of Six Clouds of witnesses -- stories that demanded to be heard. From these Clouds came three things: a clearer understanding of the heart of God, the coherent message of the coming Messiah, and the strong testimony of the witnesses of Jesus, the Risen Messiah, victorious over death. This book is dedicated to letting God's word do the strengthening of every reader's faith -- in God and in Jesus, the Risen Messiah.

James Melvin Scott's book, The Missouri Kid, chronicles the life of a boy growing up in the Missouri Ozarks. While his parents, who were farmers, didn't have much--very few families did--they provided their four children with a rich childhood in an environment surrounded by nature. Missouri is a network of great rivers and magnificent streams. Scott grew up hunting and fishing on the rivers and in the Ozark Hills of Missouri. Scott's story takes you through his early years, through his youth when he played high school basketball and was a cowboy in the rodeo, and into adulthood when he eventually left Missouri and crossed the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim with a friend as he headed out West, to California, to pursue the American dream.

"The Gathering Cloud collates research into the history and language of meteorology with current thinking about data storage and climate change. Archival material from the Met Office Archive and Library in Exeter has been studied and sifted, along with classical, medieval, and Victorian sources, including, in particular, Luke Howard's classic essay On the Modifications of Clouds, first published in 1803. This research material is presented as a sequence of texts and images, acting both as a primer to the ideas behind the project and as a document of its movement between formats, from the data centre to the illuminated screen, from the live performance to the printed page. In his foreword media theorist Jussi Parikka describes the work as "a series of material transformations made visible through a media history executed as digital collage and print publication, hendecasyllabic verse, and critical essay"."--Publisher's website.
