It begins in 1876 with our male protagonist fighting the demons of his war years with the Union Army. Today, we would call it post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). His position in the Union Army was sharpshooter. There were many, many killings. The haunts visit Roy at least once a month. We meet our female protagonist early in the story. Abigail and Roy begin their relationship early on as a working partnership. The story continues through four generations. The clan reaches twenty-four ages infant to Roy's late sixties. The last part of the story is about Sammy and his work-shooting photos and writing script for an Eastern magazine. His assignments are the National Parks and National Monuments of the West. Pretty much ends with Sammy and his wife, Deloris, and son, Roy Jr. returning to the ranch. Completing another circle is this continuing story of Be without End. It is fall of 1929, and stock market crash hits the USA. But our clan is self-sufficient and weathers the lean years without much of a ripple in their lifestyle; providing their own produce from the huge garden, beef and pork from their own herd, eggs, cream and cheese, and honey from the hives. A testament to extended family and sustainability; hard work and a creed handed down by Abigail and Roy.

Engineering Animals

How Life Works

By: Mark Denny,Alan McFadzean

The alarm calls of birds make them difficult for predators to locate, while the howl of wolves and the croak of bullfrogs are designed to carry across long distances. From an engineer's perspective, how do such specialized adaptations among living things really work? And how does physics constrain evolution, channeling it in particular directions? Writing with wit and a richly informed sense of wonder, Denny and McFadzean offer an expert look at animals as works of engineering, each exquisitely adapted to a specific manner of survival, whether that means spinning webs or flying across continents or hunting in the dark-or writing books. This particular book, containing more than a hundred illustrations, conveys clearly, for engineers and nonengineers alike, the physical principles underlying animal structure and behavior. Pigeons, for instance-when understood as marvels of engineering-are flying remote sensors: they have wideband acoustical receivers, hi-res optics, magnetic sensing, and celestial navigation. Albatrosses expend little energy while traveling across vast southern oceans, by exploiting a technique known to glider pilots as dynamic soaring. Among insects, one species of fly can locate the source of a sound precisely, even though the fly itself is much smaller than the wavelength of the sound it hears. And that big-brained, upright Great Ape? Evolution has equipped us to figure out an important fact about the natural world: that there is more to life than engineering, but no life at all without it.
