A Boone Story About Overcoming envy and Jealousy.
"Kate Marshall is only eight years old when her parents split up and she is uprooted from the home she loves and taken to a brash new town where life is much tougher and rougher. Made to live in a pub where her mother is a barmaid, Kate is plunged into a world of coarse hard-drinkers for whom childcare and privacy are not a priority. Her paedophile Uncle Phil soon takes full advantage of the chaotic situation, and Kate is subjected to horrific abuses that go unnoticed--and even ignored--by the wayward adults surrounding her. Made to feel worthless and dirty, Kate learns patterns of behaviour that repeat themselves later in her life when, married far too young to an emotionally controlling fraudster, she hits rock bottom and suffers an eating disorder. Finding the courage to face her painful childhood, Kate brings her abuser to justice and turns her life around. Her story of hope after despair is a powerful reminder that we can change our lives as well as the lives of others who need our help."--Provided by publisher.

Some days it feels like the wild is out to destroy her, but she’s stronger than she ever imagined. Jess will survive. She has to. She knows who killed her father…and she wants revenge.
How to Model Maturation and Pyrolysis
This book covers the origin and chemical structure of sedimentary organic matter, how that structure relates to appropriate chemical reaction models, how to obtain reaction data uncontaminated by heat and mass transfer, and how to convert that data into global kinetic models that extrapolate over wide temperature ranges. It also shows applications for in-situ and above-ground processing of oil shale, coal and other heavy fossil fuels. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to develop and apply reliable chemical kinetic models for natural petroleum formation and fossil fuel processing and is designed for course use in petroleum systems modelling. Problem sets, examples and case studies are included to aid in teaching and learning. It presents original work and contains an extensive reanalysis of data from the literature.
