3 Beacons For 7 Lighthouses of Primary Colors
Ancient civilizations used the finest stones to set into their idols, decorate their temples, and to adorn themselves. These people used all different sizes and colors of gemstones and these gemstones were set in sliver, gold and other minerals that they made metals. Gemstones made legends of both wealth and history in many parts of the world. Using richly colored gems in trading, inlaying them in jewelry, jeweled crowns, and garments were just a few ways that created that gleam and glitter when rays of light hit a stone. The play of colors giving the gemstones stunning effects. Leaders, kings, priests, medicine men, and others have put many different values on rocks and gemstones. A few of these values are monetary, symbols of great power, healing energies, spiritually and great wealth. In the world today rocks and gemstones are used as they were yet in ancient times and for many of these same reasons. Gemstones both semi-precious and precious are used some way or another by almost every age group, sex and personality. Each stone has a different energy and purpose. In some instances a thrill of excitement is felt by a person just looking at, using or owning a gemstone.Colorful and cut gemstones attract attention because of their beauty and ability to move energy levels and states of mind according to their vibration levels.
This statement is also true for all of the uncut stones in the mineral kingdom.

Crocodiles and Alligators of the World
Crocodiles and Alligators of the World provides a broad overview of all 22 species of crocodilians. Among the oldest surviving vertebrates on the planet - they have been around for approximately 200 million years - these reptiles have been depicted in many different roles in the literature and legends of cultures around the world. And while many people fear these strange creatures, crocodilians have captured the imaginations of human beings as few other animals have. An expert in the field, David Alderton describes the lifestyle, zoology, distribution, and conservation of crocodiles in this readable, highly informative volume. Their fascinating evolution, from the age of the dinosaurs to the present, is presented in detail. Despite their popular image as dangerous creatures, or perhaps because of it, many crocodile and alligator species are in danger of extinction. Yet, no crocodilian species has gone extinct in the time since humans became dominant on the planet, a testament to their resilience and adaptability. This comprehensive survey of crocodiles, alligators, and caimans provides a captivating introduction to what is known about crocodilians. The text is complemented by full-

A Dictionary of Common Wildflowers of Texas and the Southern Great Plains
Castilleja coccinea, Indian Paintbrush. Scientific name: Castilleja, for Domingo Castillejo (fl. 1781), a Spanish botanist plus coccinea, Latin for scarlet. Reference is to the color of the flowers. Common name: Indian Paintbrush, from the appearance of the flowers that resemble a brush dipped in paint. American Indians obtained dye from this plant. This typical entry from A Dictionary of Common Wildflowers of Texas and the Southern Great Plains illustrates the synthesis the book provides between scientific and common names of the plants. Intended as a companion to field guides of common flowers in the region, this dictionary offers an opportunity to reference both names. The scientific or binomial name (the genus and species) is translated from its Latin form and its original language - Latin, Greek, European, Oriental, American Indian, even a personal name - is identified. The common names for flowers in this region are usually of English or Mexican Spanish origin, although many come from several American Indian languages. The common names of some plants, like Indian Paintbrush, are familiar to most residents of Texas and the Southern Plains.
Others such as Tall Joe Pie-Weed, Clammyweed, or Sensitive Pea may come as a surprise. Dr. Holloway explains the reason for the common name in many cases. Sensitive Pea, for instance, is named sensitive because the leaves curl when touched and pea because it produces a pod. Thoroughly researched and current with contemporary botanical terms, this is a book that professionals will keep in their personal libraries as a reference tool and native plant enthusiasts will keep in their cars for identifying flora along the road.
