This is the first in a series featuring the adventures of Arnold A. Airplane. It was inspired by the birth of my grandson Jace. I had the pleasure of taking care of Jace for about three hours one day. The last thirty minutes or so, he was asleep in my arms. As I was holding him and just looking down into his little face, my heart filled with a love I had not felt in many years. I then tried to analyze why I love him so much, since he wasn't doing anything. He was just there! So I just drank in the moments, wishing that feeling of pure love would last forever. I then thought about God's relationship with me. I have always thought I needed to perform, to be doing something for Him to make sure He will love me. But, as impossible as it seems, He loves me even more than I love Jace, and when He looks at me, His heart fills with love too. I don't need to give Him a reason to love me; He just does! All I need do is desire to be near Him. Thank you, my Father , for showing me You love me in the same way I love Jace and for sending Your Son to die for me so that I may experience your perfect love.
The petrographic database consists of 705 maceral analyses, reflectance measurements, and density and porosity determinations from Utah coal samples. These data were collected by the Utah Geological Survey from 1982 to 1995. Samples were collected from seven of Utah's 22 coal fields. Coal fields sampled are the Book Cliffs (182 samples), Wasatch Plateau (262 samples), Emery (41 samples), Sego (27 samples), Henry Mountains (173 samples), Kaiparowits Plateau (12 samples), and Coalville (four samples). The data are sorted by coal-field names; within each field the analyses are arranged alphabetically by coal-bed name to facilitate comparison. The aim of the database is to provide the industry with information on petrographic properties of Utah coals. In addition, it should help the coal operators and purchasers to determine the best uses for Utah coals.

The Adventures of Arnold A. Airplane is a fun, charming, well written little book about the adventures of a young airplane and the lessons he is learning about life and about fun, family and flight. The plot itself is compelling enough to hold the attention of even young children who will need the story read to them by an adult. The author uses age appropriate language in fun, rhyme form to provide children with gentle lessons about faith and family that will appeal to all ages. The author is a grandfather and begins the book with a dedication page to his newest grandson. The writing in "The Adventures of Arnold A. Airplane" is fluid and imaginative. The illustrations are bright and whimsical with an added bonus of pictures of the "real" Arnold. Additonal listings and more of Arnold's adventures can also be found at www.arnoldsadventures.com
Old Bert the Bomber is the 3rd book in the “Adventures of Arnold A. Airplane” series. Old Bert is an old, sad and lonely World War II bomber plane. Since it is too windy for Arnold and Herman to fly, they decide to spend the day at an old airport not too far away. When they arrive Old Bert is being teased and abused by some younger planes. Arnold and Herman feel sorry for him and ask if there is anything they can do to help. Old Bert asks them if they can just stay and talk for a while. He tells them great stories of his youth and the war with lessons on respecting our flag and the people who defend our country. They find it is great fun to listen to Old Bert and invite him home for dinner. The morals presented in this story have to do with respecting our country and our flag, remembering and respecting those in our armed forces and their families and treating older people with respect and honor. Like the other two books in this series, it is written in rhyming prose and should be easy for children to understand. The illustrations are simple drawing with bright colors that should enhance a child's imagination and, possibly, their interest in flying. The photographs (credits) at the end of the book include actual photographs of models Arnold, Herman, Billy and Old Bert built by the author.
Although Bill Nye (1850-1896) was America's best known humorist in the late 1880's and early 1890's, his work is little known today--his books long out of print and his columns yellowing in newspaper files. Now T. A. Larson, a dyed-in-the-wool Nye fan for more than thirty years, has assembled the best of Bill Nye's work, most of it dating from the seven Wyoming years when Nye made his name. The selections are chosen from Laramie, Cheyenne, and Denver newspapers and from six books published in the 1890's. The resulting collection is both good fun and a valuable picture of a lively period.
