First she sees two little girls walk right through the walls of her cabin. Then come the dreams -- frighteningly detailed visions of a young man being pursued through 1930s New York City.

And what's up with the overgrown, strangely shaped hedge maze that none of the campers are allowed to touch?

Pathology (Solving Crimes With Science: Forensics #12)
by Maryalice Walker"Real-life" crime dramas on television intrigue us with the details of postmortem examinations leading to the arrest of murder suspects--but how do forensic pathologists, the doctors who investigate unnatural deaths and chilling crime scenes, actually bring criminals to justice? The story lies in the body of evidence. Literally. The human body provides a wealth of scientific evidence that allows forensic pathology, or legal medicine, to help resolve criminal cases and convict even most elusive perpetrators. The human body records the story of a crime in the language of cuts, wounds, and bruises, and in the fingerprints and bloodstains. Forensic pathologists are trained to scrutinize and interpret this evidence in ways no other scientist can. Examining victims' remains from the outside in, forensic pathologists investigate every inch of the human landscape to discover when, how, and why the victim died. Sometimes, a time of death is all a jury needs to convict a suspect of murder, and forensic pathologists are experts at uncovering this crucial evidence. Visiting crime scenes, collecting bodies in the middle of the night, and excavating suspicious burial grounds are all in a day's work for the sake of bringing justice to victims who can no longer speak for themselves.

Pathways With Purpose
by Sarah J. RoyerWhen I started thinking about building a Faith-based curriculum for the early childhood classroom; my goal was to create a curriculum that would catch the interest of children 0- Kindergarten. See, I have worked in the early childhood classroom for almost two decades and while the goal is at the heart of the curriculum I have used; the interest it has sparked in our young ones is mild and dulled down, at best. How can we best instill an excitement to learn in our young ones? By making the material and manipulatives hands- on and exciting! I don’t mean by reading a story and pulling out paper puppets on craft sticks, although this may be what some children like and want to explore. What I mean is presenting values and morals in an explorative manner, in conjunction with developmentally appropriate learning standards that help engage your students in learning experiences while getting them excited! <P><P>Including stories and sensory materials, story buckets, role playing with dress up materials, including a variety of mixed media to spark your student’s interests is absolutely necessary. Create an environment that appeals to learners of various ages, backgrounds, and learning styles! Make your lesson times fun and interesting and your learners will gravitate back for more!

Patient Zero: Solving the Mysteries of Deadly Epidemics
by Marilee PetersEngrossing true stories of the pioneers of epidemiology who risked their lives to find the source of deadly diseases. Throughout history, more people have died in disease epidemics than in wars or other disasters. The courageous, trail-blazing defenders against these diseases faced a terrifying personal gamble. Often they were ignored, laughed at, or even fired from their jobs. But they kept hunting for answers, putting the pieces of the epidemic puzzle together. As they looked for clues to the origin of a disease, scientists searched for the unknown “patient zero”—the first person to have contracted it. Patient Zero brilliantly brings to life the main characters and events to tell the gripping tale of how each of seven diseases spread. The result is spine-chilling as Peters follows the scientists who solved the intricate mystery of the killer epidemics. Patient Zero reminds us that millions of people owe their lives to the work of these pioneer epidemiologists, work that continues to this day.
