Product Description
Helena Saunders has not fallen in love since she was sixteen, not since she defied her father by dating Timmy, a boy her father felt she was too young to be serious about. Then her father up and died of a heart attack, and Timmy moved away. Blaming herself for her father's death, she buries herself in books, becoming a librarian and sometimes dating Robert Garza, a roughneck in the oil fields of Odessa, Texas, but she won't let herself get too involved romantically, afraid of emotional commitment, much to her sister Kathy's dismay. Kathy and her husband Frank can't have children though they have tried.
Helena thinks she's happy, has everything figured out, until one evening when Frank and Kathy leave for the bowling alley and a very tall and handsome blond stranger knocks on the door, wanting to rent the back room. Suddenly, Helena's world is completely shaken, so mesmerized is she by this mysterious man. She finds herself falling in love with him immediately, but it isn't long and she begins to realize that maybe he's not quite human. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A sunburn is a burn to living tissue such as skin produced by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the sun's rays. Usual mild symptoms in humans and animals include red or reddish skin that is hot to the touch, general fatigue, and mild dizziness. An excess of UV-radiation can be life-threatening in extreme cases. Exposure of the skin to lesser amounts of UV radiation will often produce a suntan. Excessive UV-radiation is the leading cause of primarily non malignant skin tumors. Sunscreen is widely agreed to prevent sunburn, although a minority of scientists argue that it may not effectively protect against malignant melanoma, which is either caused by a different part of the ultraviolet spectrum or, according to others, not caused by sun exposure at all. Clothing, including hats, is considered the preferred skin protection method. ... Read more

Excerpt: Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than x-rays, in the range 10 nm to 400 nm, and energies from 3eV to 124 eV. It is so named because the spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than those that humans identify as the color violet. UV light is found in sunlight and is emitted by electric arcs and specialized lights such as black lights. As an ionizing radiation it can cause chemical reactions, and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce. Most people are aware of the effects of UV through the painful condition of sunburn, but the UV spectrum has many other effects, both beneficial and damaging, on human health. The discovery of UV radiation was intimately associated with the observation that silver salts darken when exposed to sunlight. In 1801 the German physicist Johann Wilhelm Ritter made the hallmark observation that invisible rays just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum were especially effective at darkening silver chloride-soaked paper. He called them "de-oxidizing rays" to emphasize their chemical reactivity and to distinguish them from "heat rays" at the other end of the visible spectrum. The simpler term "chemical rays" was adopted shortly thereafter, and it remained popular throughout the 19th century. The terms chemical and heat rays were eventually dropped in favor of ultraviolet and infrared radiation, respectively. T...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=31990 ... Read more

From the author: While many have suggested that prevention is key regarding sun over exposure, individuals (including children) still frequently experience sunburn. The Skin Cancer Foundation (2008) reported that 42% of individuals polled endured at least one sunburn per year. Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that the incidence of sunburn rose from 31.8% in 1999 to 33.7% in 2004 (CDC, 2007). Children are more susceptible to skin damage because their skin is more sensitive than the skin of adults and it burns more easily (The Skin Cancer Foundation, 2008). Other risk factors include a fair complexion, found commonly in people with blue or green eyes, freckles, and light-colored hair (The Skin Cancer Foundation, 2008).
