Salt and Pepper Detective Agency

A Mystery Novel

By: Donna Underwood

Houston Hayfield and Wilamina Robinson are released from Lancers Womens Prison after having been cleared of murder. For both women, life was never easy, starting with abusive childhoods and failed high school careers. Having received lengthy sentences, they thought their lives were over until an attorney took their cases pro bono and got their convictions dismissed. While incarcerated, Houston and Wilamina made good use of their time. They attended a six-month workshop that stressed the intrinsic value of every person. The attendees of the program learned self-worth, self-respect, purpose, and a belief in their own abilities. For the first time, these women felt hope. They found the strength to make better choices and realized they could have a decent, productive life in prison or in society. Now free, Houston and Wilamina want to have a positive effect on the world, so they start an investigative business. Since Houston is a white woman from Texas and Wilamina a biracial woman from the Carolinas, they call it Salt and Pepper Detective Agency. What they lack in formal education, they make up for in street smarts. They now vow to fight for the innocent, seeing all prospective clients as valuable, loveable, and deserving of respect.

Farmers in Rebellion

The Rise and Fall of the Southern Farmers Alliance and People's Party in Texas

By: Donna A. Barnes

The years after the Civil War brought struggle to the Southern farmer as the economic mainstay of the South—cotton—steadily dropped in price. Prompted by hard times, farmers in Lampasas County, Texas, gathered in 1877 to discuss what could be done. From these modest origins emerged the National Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union, later known as the Southern Farmers Alliance, a powerful protest movement that played an important role in the formation in 1892 of a new political force, the People's party. In the "solid South," particularly in Texas, large numbers of voters abandoned the Democratic party for the new party. Yet despite this support, the decline of the People's party after 1894 was swift. Farmers in Rebellion recounts the compelling story of these two crucial and closely related movements. Donna A. Barnes examines their developmental histories, asking such important questions as: Under what conditions do protest movements remain weak? Under what conditions do they prosper, amassing large numbers of supporters? And under what conditions do successful protest movements lose their momentum and die? The author explores these complex questions with deft use of archival data that allows her to reflect on the adequacy of the past sociological answers to these questions. Farmers in Rebellion is a book rich in detail and scope in its look at a critical juncture in the growth of national populist movements. Of interest to sociologists, historians, and political scientists, it stands as an important contribution to our understanding of a pivotal time in Texas, and national, history.

Resources and References

Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials Management

By: Donna S. Kocurek,Bayle Woodside

This guide book provides references and resources for the complex field of hazardous waste and hazardous materials management. The book is divided into general topics such as air quality, industrial wastewater, pollution prevention, and risk assessment under hazardous waste management and chemical hazards, emergency planning, and hazard communication under hazardous materials management. Each individual section includes a list of annotated bibliographies of the most recent books by major publishers as well as established, standard references. Following the annotated titles, are additional references of books and documents by publishers, technical associations, and governmental agencies (primarily the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). In general, only references from 1986 onward are included since the technology and regulations affecting hazardous waste and materials are constantly evolving.Additional resources included in the book are video tapes for training and instruction, information services and databases, libraries, agency contacts, technical journals, and a list of publishers and ordering information. This book will be a useful reference to professionals in the environmental field who need an extensive, but concise source of technical information and contacts.The book will be a valuable addition to individual libraries and will fill a current reference void in university libraries, and technical libraries in industry and government. At present there are very few technical bibliographies in the field, and none has covered topics related to hazardous materials and hazardous waste as extensively as this book.

How to Get Anything for Free

By: Donna Godwin

What if you could get whatever you wanted just by asking for it? That is exactly what you can do. If you want something, ask for it. That is what I did and I found that it does work! Billionaires and Millionaires want to give away money. The majority of these rich people want to help, but they do not know you until you introduce yourself and ask for what you want. I wrote letters asking for money, purses, watches, jewelry, shoes and vacations. I received so much in the mail that it surprised me that there was such a great positive response. This book has all the research that I needed to reach the rich and famous people that are willing to help. This book will also give you the tools to increase your list and build it bigger and better than mine to reach as many people as possible to increase your chances of a better payday.

Texas Secessionists Standoff

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Texas Secessionists Standoff

The 1997 Republic of Texas "War"

By: Donna Marie Miller

On April 27, 1997, Richard Lance McLaren and his followers in the so-called “Republic of Texas (ROT)” militia held Joe and Margaret Ann Rowe hostage inside their own home at the Davis Mountain Resort, near Fort Davis, Texas, and demanded the release of jailed ROT members Jo Ann Turner and Robert Jonathan Scheidt. McLaren’s demand initiated a seven-day standoff with local law enforcement and the Texas Rangers that came to be called the “Republic of Texas War.” Opening with a foreword by the FBI negotiator who served as an on-site consultant throughout the crisis, author Donna Marie Miller presents the first full-length book treatment of the events leading up to McLaren’s “declaration of war” and its aftermath. The result is an absorbing account of manipulation by a leader as charismatic as he was deluded; of misinformed individuals motivated by desperation who aligned themselves with an extremist; and of law enforcement officials caught in the tension between their duty to protect the public and their desire to avoid a repeat of disasters like those at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and the Branch Davidian compound outside Waco, Texas. Central to the story is Jo Ann Turner, a frantic woman drowning in debt who was drawn into the false ideology espoused by McLaren, which eventually led to her personal undoing. Based on archival research and interviews with persons involved—including McLaren, who has been incarcerated since 1998—this riveting account provides a multifaceted perspective of the historical incident and a detailed chronicle of a modern American anti-government militia, its victims, and the events that led to its eventual downfall.

Financial Education in U.S. State Colleges and Universities

Establishing and Building Programs

By: Donna E. Danns

This book addresses the uncertain state of financial literacy among today’s college students and examines steps colleges and universities are taking to address this widespread concern. This work introduces a four-fold typology of organizational models for college-based financial education programs and uses these as optics for grouping and presenting case studies. The case studies presented provide a holistic representation of how universities develop, sustain and grow financial education programs. Details on the nature of programs, goals, administrative support, resources, partnerships, scale of operations, program content and delivery, advertising, evaluation, program spinoffs, and much more are captured in this work. In addition to detailed case studies, this book presents general findings on the availability of and delivery modes for college-based financial education. This work has significant utility for universities and colleges seeking to implement new financial education programs, changing existing programs, improving program relevancy or expanding program delivery on campus. It is an important contribution to the experiential understanding on how college students as consumers can acquire financial education as part of their broader college curricula and be able to better manage their financial lives. Included in the coverage: The financial literacy imperative. Program delivery and organizational models in state colle ges and universities. The academic model. The full-fledged money management center. The aspirational/seed program. The branch/interspersed model. As financial literacy is increasingly recognized as a core life skill, it becomes more crucial as a component of higher education. Personal Financial Education in State Colleges and Universities in the U.S. is salient reading for college and university administrators, researchers, social workers and mental health professionals working with college students, policy analysts and faculty from any discipline interested in promoting the financial literacy of their students.

We Are What We Eat

Ethnic Food and the Making of Americans

By: Donna R. Gabaccia

Ghulam Bombaywala sells bagels in Houston. Demetrios dishes up pizza in Connecticut. The Wangs serve tacos in Los Angeles. How ethnicity has influenced American eating habits—and thus, the make-up and direction of the American cultural mainstream—is the story told in We Are What We Eat. It is a complex tale of ethnic mingling and borrowing, of entrepreneurship and connoisseurship, of food as a social and political symbol and weapon—and a thoroughly entertaining history of our culinary tradition of multiculturalism. The story of successive generations of Americans experimenting with their new neighbors’ foods highlights the marketplace as an important arena for defining and expressing ethnic identities and relationships. We Are What We Eat follows the fortunes of dozens of enterprising immigrant cooks and grocers, street hawkers and restaurateurs who have cultivated and changed the tastes of native-born Americans from the seventeenth century to the present. It also tells of the mass corporate production of foods like spaghetti, bagels, corn chips, and salsa, obliterating their ethnic identities. The book draws a surprisingly peaceful picture of American ethnic relations, in which “Americanized” foods like Spaghetti-Os happily coexist with painstakingly pure ethnic dishes and creative hybrids. Donna Gabaccia invites us to consider: If we are what we eat, who are we? Americans’ multi-ethnic eating is a constant reminder of how widespread, and mutually enjoyable, ethnic interaction has sometimes been in the United States. Amid our wrangling over immigration and tribal differences, it reveals that on a basic level, in the way we sustain life and seek pleasure, we are all multicultural.

Gholson Road

Revolutionaries and Texas Rangers

By: Donna Gholson Cook

GHOLSON ROAD is the well-documented story of one family's role in American history, from early Virginia through early Texas during the period of the Old West. Anthony2 fought with the Virginia militia in the Revolutionary War and leased land from George Washington. In 1801, at age 68, he moved his family west to Kentucky. Samuel, son of Anthony2, fought in the War of 1812, participating in the Battle of the Thames and the Battle of New Orleans, moved to Arkansas Territory, then to Texas, arriving in 1832 with his son Albert. They were members of Robertson's Colony while Texas was still a part of Mexico and were among the early Texas Rangers. Albert fought in most of the battles of the Texas Revolution and survived many Indian fights, only to be killed by a neighbor. His sons, Sam and Frank, were also Texas Rangers, protecting the settlers and helping to retrieve several Indian captives. The brothers were persuaded to become Confederate soldiers by a lynch mob that threatened to kill them and their young wives if they did not. After the Civil War, they were involved in the cattle industry and the trail drives of the late 1800s.

The Broken Spoke

Austin's Legendary Honky-Tonk

By: Donna Marie Miller

James and Annetta White opened the Broken Spoke in 1964, then a mile south of the Austin city limits, under a massive live oak, and beside what would eventually become South Lamar Boulevard. White built the place himself, beginning construction on the day he received his honorable discharge from the US Army. And for more than fifty years, the Broken Spoke has served up, in the words of White’s well-worn opening speech, “. . . cold beer, good whiskey, the best chicken fried steak in town . . . and good country music.” White paid thirty-two dollars to his first opening act, D. G. Burrow and the Western Melodies, back in 1964. Since then, the stage at the Spoke has hosted the likes of Bob Wills, Dolly Parton, Ernest Tubb, Ray Price, Marcia Ball, Pauline Reese, Roy Acuff, Kris Kristofferson, George Strait, Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Asleep at the Wheel, and the late, great Kitty Wells. But it hasn’t always been easy; through the years, the Whites and the Spoke have withstood their share of hardship—a breast cancer diagnosis, heart trouble, the building’s leaky roof, and a tour bus driven through its back wall. Today the original rustic, barn-style building, surrounded by sleek, high-rise apartment buildings, still sits on South Lamar, a tribute and remembrance to an Austin that has almost vanished. Housing fifty years of country music memorabilia and about a thousand lifetimes of memories at the Broken Spoke, the Whites still honor a promise made to Ernest Tubb years ago: they’re “keepin’ it country.”

The Answer?

By: Don Edwards,Donna Edwards

In December of 1972, the crew of Apollo 17 rose up from the cold and lonely surface of the moon, leaving behind the dream and legacy of mankind’s apparent destiny of breaching the final frontier of manned space exploration. It was an abrupt end to what seemed to be a new period in the evolution of our species. In all the time that has passed, neither America nor any other country has dared to forge a path back to the moon or beyond. Why? Why is it we are perfectly content to remain trapped here to the confines of redundant orbits and experiments around our own planet, when we have the means to journey ever outward and accomplish so much more? It is a question we have all asked at one time or another in our lives, either silently or aloud, and the answer given is never the one that satisfies. Suspicion always lingers. The Answer? provides an end to that suspicion, giving us insight into a black ops mission to the moon in April of 1973 after NASA astronomer Dr. Harry Sheldon and his daughter, Angelica, witnessed the apparent crash of an alien spacecraft on the moon from their observatory in Colorado. News of this incident explodes through the ranks of the Air Force, NASA and even the CIA as a plan quickly forms to beat the Soviets to the moon in an effort to secure whatever evidence and alien technology might exist in its wake. What follows next is the gathering of heroes in the form of three reserve Apollo astronauts and a secret launch from a Caribbean USAF facility to the far side of the moon, all orchestrated by CIA Special Agent-in-Charge Mary Ellen Coley. It is there that astronauts Hollanbach and Reese encounter much more than anyone could anticipate…from the discovery of the craft and what appears to be the amassing of an interstellar army set to invade our planet, the sacrifice one man must make on the moon to keep his crewmate and the mission alive, to Agent Coley’s mounting of a daring rescue attempt alongside unsuspecting allies to leave no man behind in this tale of suspense, action, romance, and even more secrets that will finally quell the rumors and suspicions of why no one has ever gone back and provide the world with an answer to the question of the moon once and for all.

Daniel Lewis

A Life in Choreography and the Art of Dance

By: Donna H. Krasnow,Daniel E. Lewis

Daniel Lewis's legacy as a hugely influential choreographer and teacher of modern dance is celebrated in this biography. It showcases the many roles he played in the dance world by organizing his story around various aspects of his work, including his years at the Juilliard School, dancing and touring with the Jose Limon Company, staging Limon's masterpieces around the world, directing his own company (Daniel Lewis Dance Repertory Company), writing and choreographing operas and musicals, and his years as dean of dance at New World School of the Arts. His life has spanned a particular period of growth of modern and contemporary dance, and his biography gives insight into how the artistic and journalistic perspectives on modern dance were influenced by what was occurring in the broader dance and arts communities. The book also offers rarely seen photographs and interviews with unique perspectives on many dance luminaries.

Victor Lundy

Victor Lundy

By: Donna Kacmar

If you're looking for something new under the midcentury sun, Victor Lundy (born 1923) is a real find, an important yet underappreciated figure in the history of American architecture. Trained in both the Beaux Arts and Bauhaus traditions, he built an impressive practice ranging from small-scale residential and commercial buildings to expressive religious buildings and two preeminent institutional works: the US Tax Court Building in Washington, DC (now on the National Register of Historic Places), and the US Embassy in Sri Lanka. This first book on Lundy's life and career documents his early work in the Sarasota School of Architecture, his churches, and his government buildings. In addition to essays on his use of light and material, many of the architect's original drawings, paintings, and sketches—including those from his travels throughout Europe, the Middle East, India, and Mexico, now held at the Library of Congress—are reproduced here for the first time.

Music

INVESTIGATE THE EVOLUTION OF AMERICAN SOUND

By: Donna Latham

The United States boasts a rich musical diversity. Colonial Americans integrated European traditions with new cultural influences to compose a unique musical identity. African traditions influenced hymns and folk songs that connected people to religion and to the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Patriotic tunes created unity in wartime. America’s jazz, blues, rock, and hip-hop continue to evolve from their African-American origins. Music: Investigate the Evolution of American Sound invites kids ages 12 and up to explore the roots of American music genres as they investigate the social, political, and religious influences that inspire musicians. Activities encourage readers to inquire into the art and science of music. Readers can engage in a hands-on exploration of the physics of sound vibrations, decibel levels, and acoustics, or use vocal styling to improvise and discover the rhythm of their bodies to create a beatbox. Music encourages readers to analyze lyrics, their meanings, and rhythms, and then use that analysis to write their own songs. This title meets common core state standards in language arts for reading informational text and literary nonfiction and is aligned with Next Generation Science Standards. Guided Reading Levels and Lexile measurements indicate grade level and text complexity.

On the Doorposts of All Our Houses

And What Went on Inside

By: Donna Siegel

Donna Siegel has written an engaging account of remarkable people-our grandparents, parents, and their siblings. Our family's immigrant experience mirrors those of an entire generation. Recalled with poignancy and humor in these stories, they all seem to live again." -Paul R. Schulman, author of Large- Scale Policy Making and High Reliability Management: Operating on the Edge, with Emery Roe. "Memoirs have the power to bring the felt reality of the past to life. This is what happens in Donna Siegel's On the Doorposts of All Our Houses. Her memoir is fresh, touching, and full of pungent details. This heartfelt and humorous memoir retrieves a precious piece of American Jewish history." -Emily Fox Gordon, author of Mockingbird Years: A Life in and Out of Therapy and Are you Happy? A Childhood Remembered. Two immigrant families escape from their anti-Semitic homelands and journey to America. They don't know a word of English, yet they come here to establish a new and better life. The family from Poland settles in Omaha, Nebraska. The Russian family puts down roots in Sioux City, Iowa. What happens next? Donna Siegel tells how the two families connect and become her grandparents, parents, uncles, and aunts. She offers a whimsical account of growing up in the corn belt with her tightly knit Jewish family. She confesses that her life doesn't exactly follow the plan. Despite the piano and tap dancing lessons with which she was lavished, Hollywood never needs a Jewish Shirley Temple. She doesn't manage to grow long legs and become a beauty queen. She does marry the prince, but they don't live happily ever after. Despite these disappointments, she succeeds in converting lemons to limoncello. Prepare to laugh and cry as you meander through the houses of Donna Siegel's life.
