The profession of chiropractic began in the United States in 1895. Like any other sociological movement it started from humble beginnings to become what it is today, the largest, drugless healing profession in the world. This achievement has not happened without overcoming obstacles placed in the path of chiropractors looking to advance and validate their profession. On area of validation which eluded the chiropractic profession for nearly a century was in higher education. It took almost 100 years before chiropractic education became part of a university in the United States.Prior to university affiliation, chiropractic education consisted of free standing institutions which were accredited by their own specialized federally recognized accrediting agency. These institutions gained regional accreditation, but these programs remained conspicuously outside of higher education. When an opportunity presented itself to correct the injustice and isolation which had plagued chiropractic education from its inception, it was embraced. Higher Education is the story of how this opportunity came into being. It chronicles the opportunities, obstacles and eventual success of the chiropractic profession joining the list of professional programs taught at the nation's institutions of higher learning.
This is not an autobiography in any typical sense. While people are interested in Obama's life or Gandhi's life, there is no such interest in my life. Rightfully. This is not that kind of book. I believe that getting old is the first time we can genuinely figure out the relationship we have with ourselves. What our likes and dislikes are when they are uncoupled from social standards.So this is a kind of mental autobiography. It's a book of essays about everyday life, from the perspective of being much closer to the end than the beginning. The essays are different lengths and there are even ditties (words that rhyme...more Dr. Seuss than poetry). There was nothing systematic about the topics I wrote about. Someone would say something, or a thought would wake me up in the middle of the night. Then I would write to find out what I thought.
"Dispatches from the still small voice" is a message from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, urging men and women of good will to wake up and protect their heritage as leaders of the world, or evil will prevail across the earth. It has happened before. Historians call it The Dark Ages.Read the vision described in the first 7 pages and wisdom from the Holy Bible quoted throughout this book and you will feel urgency for this generation to return to the faith of our fathers or preside over the demise of the American dream.This book traces mainstream society's drift away from the ethics of our founding fathers, recognizing that the best of times were preceded by a spiritual awakening. And the erosion of our moral standards since 1960, has Americans more divided today than in 1860.

Tim wrote this book Treeology 101: How Using a Compass and The Sun Can Reveal Your Stunning Home so you will know if your home is in a Climax Forest or not, and knowing how much sun each section of your yard gets are the FUNDAMENTAL KEYS to having the yard of your dreams, done through selective culling of dangerous, duplicate, ugly or problematic trees. Then and only then can you consider what kind of replacement trees you want to plant, something YOU decide instead of the builder, the previous owner, or even bird droppings. A planned yard with proper Treescaping, that is, selecting specific trees for their beauty, hardiness, light requirements and space needs, is far superior to a yard with trees too close, trees in inappropriate spaces or downright dangerous trees due to a host of factors the homeowner may not be aware of.

This book is like a salad bar. Or a Chinese buffet. Or even a little bit like a teenager's locker in June. It's filled with a little bit of this, a little bit of that and then a little bit of this again. Author, Kim Rezendes, loves to run. She also loves to think while she runs. About all sorts of things. Sometimes her thoughts make her laugh and sometimes they make her cry. Sometimes they make her think. And sometimes they make her wonder if she has any more working brain cells...Here, in her first book, (some of) these thoughts are now shared with you. It is her hope that they will make YOU laugh and cry. That they will make YOU think and wonder. And really, that's all she wants this book to do. (Well, that and pay for her kids' college tuition but she doesn't want to sound too needy. At least not so early in your relationship. She's not even met you yet...)
