For reasons of his own, Kalib is intent on halting the construction of the railroad, and not even beautiful and bold Meg will stand in his way.

West Texas by Mike Cochran,John Lumpkin Pdf

The Big Bend, the Big Country, the Big Empty. The High Plains, the Permian and the Panhandle. Cowboys, Cowtown and the curl of a killer tornado. A place where “you can stretch your eyeballs.” Where the Hale-Bopp comet, “hardly visible above some smoggy, light-polluted cities, looked like it could drop into the Pecos River at any moment.” West Texas, home to the state’s biggest legends, is chronicled by two authors who have spent most of their careers crisscrossing it. Mike Cochran and John Lumpkin, Associated Press journalists, bring their experiences to the pages of this handsome volume, accompanied by fifty photographs of the West Texas landscape, its people and its history. Converse with West Texas characters like Stanley Marsh 3, conman Billy Sol Estes, and Big Spring’s merry messiah, Marj Carpenter. Meet Gordon Wood, Friday night football’s winningest coach, and Groner Pitts, Brownwood’s liveliest undertaker. Remember ranching icon Watt Matthews, the founders of Santa Rita No. 1, and Lubbock’s C. W. Stubblefield, magnet to blues and country music stars. Honor Hallie Stillwell, Frenchy McCormick, and even modern art’s Georgia O’Keeffe, who put their stamp on Texas’s most fascinating region. A West Texan once said, “They show no pictures of my province or even neighboring provinces. They leave a big hole in Texas.” No more is that the case, thanks to Mike Cochran and John Lumpkin.

Tornado Season by Courtney Craggett Pdf

TORNADO SEASON arrives as a storm is raging. Yet its stories urge us not to seek shelter, but to leave it. To walk out of our inner place of hiding and face the whirlwind. To recognize it. To acknowledge it and fight it. Ethnicity and culture alongside the U.S.-Mexico border; deportation and immigration; life in the U.S. foster care system--of these tumultuous subjects Courtney Craggett writes with honesty, a big heart, and a complete lack of sentimentality. She shows us ordinary people who suffer, dream, hope, and strive for something just a little bit better. And by doing so, she elevates these stories from the realm of the timely into that of the timeless. Long after the storm has passed, the stories in TORNADO SEASON will ring true and dear for they sing of the innermost yearning of the human heart for freedom, justice, and love. --Miroslav Penkov

These aliens have been on earth for some time, explorers stranded after their home world was destroyed. It was out of necessity they came, not to conquer or destroy. That necessity and the background of peace and technology enjoyed by the population of their planet caused the crew to seek out ways to help earth live in peace. Once they realize the people of earth have not developed the ability to live in peace, the commander of the exploration ship changes the mission, and becomes convinced he can utilize the special talents of Walt and Sarah Thompson's children, along with the advanced alien technology, to change time and bring their destroyed home world back into existence. For his plan to work he must kidnap the children, get rid of their parents and Dawson Enright the children’s uncle, an operative of the CIA. The fight to keep the children safe takes Walt, Sarah and Dawson across Texas, New Mexico and a large part of the Milky Way galaxy as they desperately seek to take control of the alien spacecraft with their kidnapped children aboard.

The Long Night of Winchell Dear by Robert James Waller Pdf

The steady tick of an aged Regulator wall clock and the squeak of an overhead fan turning slowly are soft but insistent, counting down the night, while the high desert thrums like a half-remembered Victrola song. The sounds are below the consciousness of Winchell Dear, an old-time gambler, a Texas poker player on the southern circuit, as he waits for something . . . something vague that his life of chance tells him is evil and moving his way. He has gassed and oiled the Cadillac and adjusts the pistol in his right boot, then plays one of the six fiddle tunes he knows, thinking back to his good days with Lucinda Miller. Alone, he waits in his remote ranch house, while, just outside, an acquaintance named Luther hunts, unblinking and of nervous temperament and moving through yellow primrose bending in the night wind. In Diablo Canyon, a distant part of Winchell Dear’s ranch, Peter Long Grass squats by a campfire, contemplating the profile he saw moving along the ridge of Guapa Mountain an hour ago, thinking about the gambler’s housekeeper, Sonia Dominguez, about the small, quiet world he has fashioned far from civilization and what undefined presence might now be threatening it. He gathers his tools and begins to run across the desert floor. And boring toward all of them is a cream-colored Lincoln Continental with two men aboard. Traveling from Los Angeles on a mission they’ve been given, they are professionals, cool and implacable at the start, but becoming steadily more confused by the strange landscape they are passing through. Forty minutes from their task, they ready themselves, while a kitchen wall clock ticks its way through the long night of Winchell Dear. The Long Night of Winchell Dear finds master storyteller Robert James Waller at his best as he takes us through the wind and dust of the high desert mountains, into the shadowy world of high-stakes poker fought in the back rooms of Amarillo and Little Rock, and headlong toward the book’s stunning finale of chaotic terror, where an unexpected hero emerges.

Nightfalls in Texas by Thomas Posey Pdf

Nightfalls in Texas is a moving saga of life and love, of loss and redemption, of trails taken, and trails not taken. It is also a lyrical, touching, humorous, and sometimes poetic portrayal of growing up on the vast West Texas plains. Nightfalls in Texas is a story complete with all of the trials, the tribulations, and the cruel twists of fate that we all face in our shared experiences. Mr. Posey has captured the very essence of what life in a small west Texas Hamlet is like. “The Great Gatsby” meets “Giant” meets “The Last Picture Show.” He has infused his book with colorful and uniquely textured characters. The “starry-eyed-bubbas”, “small-town beauties”, “craggy land barons”, “gridiron warriors”, “town crazies”, “sage old soreheads”, “genteel debutantes”, “marauding desperadoes”, and other various and sundry characters. Nightfalls in Texas is also a story of shattered dreams and a boy’s journey into the promise land, and of another man’s lifelong search for a second chance that may never come. Finally, you are left with the remnants of a bittersweet story and a haunting ballad that will leave a searing resonance on your heart, and the sound of a distant clap of thunder on your soul.

Light Pollution: The Global View by H.E Schwarz Pdf

The effects of light pollution on flora, fauna -including humans and their widely varying night-time activities- are often subtle and need extensive field studies to be quantified in a sensible manner. Some of the highlights were: The presentation of the 1st world atlas of artificial night sky brightness (Cinzano et al.); the article by the International Darksky Association on their world-wide efforts to curb light pollution (Alvarez del Castillo et al.); the laws controlling light pollution implemented in Spain (Diaz et al.) and Chile (Sanhueza et al.), an overview of the work on radio frequency protection of sites (Cohen et al.) and the excellent introduction to the topic from the Chilean point of view (Daud). Related topics in the book are light pollution education, aircraft contrails, space advertising (with an added document provided by the relevant UN commission), and an experiment on involving the population of an entire country in measuring sky brightness, by using the internet and the media. The text is aimed at professionals from a wide range of disciplines related to lighting and its effects on the night-time environment in the broadest sense of the word. Lay persons interested in this emerging multi-disciplinary field can also find much of interest in this book.
