Tracing Your Ancestors Through Death Records - A Guide for Family Historians

Celia Heritage

Sinossi

Family historian Celia Heritage shares an unorthodox approach to researching genealogy in Tracing Your Ancestors Through Death Records. 
 
Of all family history sources, death records are probably the least used by researchers. They are, however, frequently the most revealing of records, giving a far greater insight into our ancestors’ lives and personalities than those records created during their lifetime. 
 
Celia Heritage leads readers through the various types of death records, showing how they can be found, read and interpreted and how to glean as much information as possible from them. In many cases, they can be used as a starting point for developing your family history research into other equally rewarding areas. This highly readable handbook is packed with useful information and helpful research advice. In addition, a thought-provoking final chapter looks into the repercussions of death its effects on the surviving members of the family and the fact that a premature death could sometimes affect the family for generations to come. 
 
“There comes a time when you reach a dead end using the online services . . . at which point you need expert advice on how to proceed. Celia Heritage provides that expert advice, going above and beyond in helping you through the details of finding and examining your ancestors’ death records. A vital resource for family historians.” —Books Monthly

Napoleon Hill's Greatest...

Napoleon Hill

We are pleased to present this never-before-published collection from the one and only, Napoleon Hill.
Along with other never-before-published material, this volume includes the speech that inspired the worldwide best seller Think and Grow Rich.
With a foreword by Napoleon's grandson, Dr. J.B. Hill, and introductory comments by Don Green, Director of The Napoleon Hill Foundation, and personal letters from family members and Senator Jennings Randolph, this fascinating exploration of the speeches given by the pioneer of the personal development movement is packed with a wealth of information.
It is a revealing look at one man's quest for understanding why some men succeed, why others do not, and what makes success something that can be replicated.
This collection will provide you with some of Napoleon's finest speeches including:What I Have Learned From Analyzing 10,000 PeopleThe Man Who Has Had no ChanceThe Commencement Address at Salem College in Salem, West Virginia, 1922 - likely his best-remembered and most influential speech.
Napoleon Hill dedicated much of his life to solving what he called "the most stupendous problem confronting the human race today". That is, "How can I get what I want?"
As W. Clement Stone and thousands of others can attest, Hill succeeded in this venture, and we now have a success philosophy that Andrew Carnegie once saw as a possibility.
This book will tell you of the origins of a personal development legacy.

Why Calories Don't Count - How...

Giles Yeo

Calorie information is ubiquitous. On packaged food, restaurant menus, and online recipes, we see authoritative numbers that tell us the calorie count of what we're about to consume. And we treat these numbers as gospel: counting, cutting, intermittently consuming, and, if you believe some “experts” out there, magically making them disappear. We all know, and governments advise, that losing weight is just a matter of burning more calories than we consume. Here's the thing, however, that most people have no idea about: ALL of the calorie counts that you see everywhere today are WRONG. In Why Calories Don't Count, Dr. Giles Yeo, obesity researcher at Cambridge University, challenges the conventional model and demonstrates that all calories are not created equal. He addresses why popular diets succeed, at least in the short term, why they ultimately fail, and what your environment has to do with your bodyweight. Once you understand that calories don't count, you can begin to make different decisions about how you choose to eat, learning what you really need to be counting instead. Practical, science-based, and full of illuminating anecdotes, this is the most entertaining dietary advice you'll ever read.
