Название: Why Rattlesnakes Rattle: ...and 250 Other Things You Should Know ISBN: 1589796489 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781589796485 Издательство: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Рейтинг: Цена: 1920.00 р. 2743.00-30% Наличие на складе: Есть (1 шт.) Описание: A follow-up to Helterbran's popular Why Flamingos Are Pink: ...and 250 other Things You Should Know, this entertaining volume identifies more of the surprising explanations for the facts, tales, and lore associated with day-to-day living and the world around us. Organized into seven categories, this book tells you why birds perched on power lines aren't electrocuted; the origins of such expressions as "swan song" and "willy nilly;" and the science behind such phenomena as ball lightning, blue glaciers, red tide, and thunder snow. More than a mere compendium of trivia, this book is a springboard for learners of all ages.
Описание: This volume of Rattlesnakes, Ghosts and Murderers moves the reader ahead more than 100 years out of America's Old West. The setting is the contemporary American West, and this novel deals with very real problems created by the international drug trade and our nation's ineffective "War on Drugs." In this story, you'll meet Buck Ford, ranch manager, and Loco Chairez, the insane drug dealer who has taken over the ranch for the purpose of growing marijuana for a Mexican cartel. You will also meet a cast of highly interesting characters: Crash Ordie, Lengren Franklyn Moncliff, Delmore Ray Delmore, Detective Piper and Ling Ling the dry-cleaner lady. Volume Two: The Curse Continues retains the covert paranormal theme found in Volume One: McKenna and Barnett but this book is actually an insightful and satirical, very clever Action Adventure novel. The language used mirrors present-day reality. Murder, suspense, madness and humor fill the pages. Some readers may view this book as politically incorrect but author Len Francis Monahan claims to have stayed true to the language and attitudes of our time, stating that, "I represent the dematerializing stage of an epoch of human writers before all thought and literature are taken over by our Machine Masters. The importance of independent thought is still paramount, and writers should not be cowed by idea-police who dare try directing their characters' actions and speech. The essence of this book, therefore, is realism presented with great humor." "Monahan creates much intrigue-and fun-and will have readers looking forward to spending more time with the characters in the next installment, Volume 2: The Curse Continues." - Maria Siano, Foreword Review

Описание:
Clay Long is a seasoned police detective who left his department to become a Special Ranger for the Governor of Texas. A tour in Iraq as First Sergeant with his airborne National Guard unit honed his instincts as a hunter of men.
Ross Larimer served his tour in Vietnam back in the day, came home to Alpine, Texas, and joined the sheriff's department. He married a Tejana woman, raised a family, kept a few cows, and stayed horseback helping neighbors work their cattle.
When the Hombres de Sangre (Men of Blood), a group of soulless killers working for the cartels, start crossing the border into Texas to ply their trade, Clay and Ross team up to stop them. Chasing them across the Big Bend country of Far West Texas, down the Rio Grande, and into Mexico, the two encounter more than they bargained for. Much more.
Their adventures will keep the pages turning, but it's the bond that develops between Clay and Ross that captivates the reader. The two veterans, hardened by combat and life, banter and argue like brothers...but always have each other's back.
Come along through this still-wild country, raft the river, and saddle up for a ride into Mexico to shoot it out with the worst of men. It's a trip you won't soon forget.

Описание: Billy Goats, Rattlesnakes, and Jesus is a true-story journey through spousal abuse and discovering what the Bible really has to say about it. Set against a very unique backdrop, it is also a story of God's modern-day miracles and love. In 1978, Deborah, a brand-new Christian, leaves her glamorous career in the fashion industry and plunges into a life with her new husband, Tom. Living in a remote one-room cabin with no electricity, she must learn new skills like splitting wood and shooting rattlesnakes for dinner. Along with the physical challenges of her new environment, she comes face to face with contradictions between Biblical truth and Tom's imposed interpretation of truth, enclosing her in a false prison of submission. Tom grows to believe he is the only one who has true understanding from God. He sees his responsibility before God to shape his family into perfection, whatever that takes, including isolation and brute force. Trapped by narrow interpretations of scriptures, Deborah struggles to find freedom for herself and her three daughters, all of whom were born at home with no midwife and no government-registered birth certificates. Through the darkness, she is surprised by a living God who overwhelms with love and freedom.
