God’s plan for her from the beginning was beyond her wildest dreams and imagination\nIn Lynda Williams' first-ever public discussion of her early life and growing up with career criminals, the worst of it all came in 1978. Her brother, Gary Tison, escaped from Arizona State Prison, and her family had to endure the largest manhunt ever in the southwestern United States. She recounts the fear she faced during those 11 days, an event that spawned two books and a pair of movies. Lynda tells about the abuse she suffered growing up in a family where her father and brothers were routinely in and out of prisons, and how her family name, rather than her character, led to many shunning and ridiculing her.\nLynda also offers a stirring message of hope for survivors like her: That one can overcome adversity by learning to love yourself and faith in God.\nLYNDA WILLIAMS is retired after many years of working with abused children, as well as owning and operating other businesses, including a ranch.

In situ hybridization is a technique that allows for the visualization of specific DNA and RNA sequences in individual cells, and is an especially important method for studying nucleic acids in heterogeneous cell populations. in situ Hybridization in Electron Microscopy reviews the three main methods developed for the ultrastructural visualization of genes: ° hybridization on ultrathin sections of tissue embedded in hydrophilic resin (post-embedding method) ° hybridization prior to embedding (pre-embedding) ° hybridization on ultrathin sections of frozen tissue (frozen tissue method). For each technique, the different stages are described in detail: the preparation of tissue, pretreatment, hybridization, and visualization of the hybridization products. The book combines theory and practice, starting with the basic principles, then breaking down the experimental process into successive steps illustrated by numerous diagrams, detailed protocols, and tables. This is all done in a format that uses parallel columns to convey useful comments next to the theory and practical details alongside each stage of the protocol. Additionally, the summary tables provide the criteria for choosing the probe type and technique, and a detailed index aids in the search for information. in situ Hybridization In Electron Microscopy is an essential companion for applying these methods at the electron microscopic level.

The first book of a ten novel series dramatizing culture conflict between extreme sub-races of mankind, The Courtesan Prince, introduces the setting of the Okal Rel Saga by Lynda Williams, the "obscure Canadian Tolkien". Adventure, romance and a sociological reason for space-age duelling carry the reader through complex social, linguistic and political themes including sexual politics among variants on natural humans and the role of politics and religion in sustainability in the face of planet-killing tech. In part 1, Ann's egalitarian world of Rire needs pilots but finds them unruly. Just wait until they meet the elitist, super-pilots of the Sevolite Empire. Sevolites norms are equally unsettled by the threat posed by "mere commoners" when long-separated branches of mankind reunite. For Reetion anthropologist Ranar, studying Sevolites is a dream come true. For Sevolite mastermind Di Mon, the reunion with the lost Alpha Colonists of Earth is a nightmare complication to his struggle to control his irresponsible ruler -- and will lead to a race to reclaim the lost heir to the empire.

In this volume: When Earth's first attempt to conquer the far reaches of space was thwarted by the failure of a faster than light transportation system, the first colonists were abandoned. 
Subsequent colonizations were successful but ideological differences in cloning caused renegade scientists to sever their contact with Earth and establish their own unique world. 
Now, thousands of years in the future, the scattered descendents of humanity have evolved into two distinct planetary societies: the Reetions of Rire, who rely on advanced computer technology to regulate every aspect of their lives, and the genetically superior and honor bound Sevolites, of Gelion. 
With one conflict already behind them, these two cultures are once again on the brink of war. But one last desperate mission is launched and somewhere within a dark region of space, Reetions and Sevolites find themselves torn between their own alliances and the inexplicable desire that constantly draws them closer together. 
Will the brilliant anthropologist, Ranar of Rire, find out more than he bargained for in the strange undercity of Gelion? 
Will the hot-headed Reetion pilot, Ann, learn that true love has a price? Will the Sevolite blade-dancer, Von, discover the dark secrets which hold the key to his world's survival? And will Di Mon, the proud Highlord of Gelion somehow find the strength to face the chaos that may destroy them all?

A sophisticated society run by incorruptible AIs is prepared to do anything for their own survival.... 
With Amel's life hanging in the balance, Rire and Sevildom square off over their political differences. 
Sevolites have finally acknowledged the vulnerable but civilized people of the Reetion Confederacy as independent commoners. But the supposedly enlightened Reetions prove far from being the harmless pacifists they claim to be - the overt concern about Amel's mental health masks a deep fear for the security of their incorruptible AIs which are key for their survival. 
The Reetions want the answers Amel has locked deep inside his memory, and some of them want to change his personality medically. 
As the rising social hysteria sets the stage for diplomacy between the Reetions and Sevildom, Amel's Reetion-raised brother, Erien, is forced into realization that even a civilization based on total transparency can be twisted in its motives for pursuing the truth...prepared to stop at nothing to gain it.
