The wild turkey is an iconic game bird with a long history of association with humans. Texas boasts the largest wild turkey population in the country. It is the only state where one can find native populations of three of the five subspecies of wild turkeys—the Eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris), the Rio Grande wild turkey (M. g. intermedia), and the Merriam’s wild turkey (M. g. merriami). Bringing together experts on game birds and land management in the state, this is the first book in Texas to synthesize the most current information about ecology and management focused exclusively on these three subspecies. Wild Turkeys in Texas addresses important aspects of wild turkey ecology and management in Texas, but its principles are applicable anywhere Eastern, Rio Grande, or Merriam’s turkeys exist. This book marks the continuation of one of the biggest success stories in the research, restoration, and management of the wild turkey in North America.

The Hunt for the Saboteur

By: Landon Garland

On a summer night in 1944, a German submarine, the U-1299 slips away from its moorings at the 1st Flotilla's base in France. Its mission is to land two saboteurs on a deserted beach on the coast of Virginia. Their mission is to assassinate the president of the United States. Crossing the Atlantic, the U-1299 encounters a U.S. destroyer and is nearly sunk by depth charges, but is able to land the saboteurs on a deserted beach where they are to meet contact, a spy in the British Embassy. Upon reaching the beach, the two men bury their uniforms, weapons, and identification tags, expecting to retrieve them later. One of the men is injured in the landing and is caught by a Coast Guard patrol. The other saboteur escapes, meets his contact and disappears. Five years later, a retired FBI agent on vacation is searching the beach with a mine detector for coins washed ashore from shipwrecks. He discovers the buried weapons and the identification tags. After researching police and FBI files, he learns that the man who was caught received a thirty-year prison sentence. The other saboteur was never apprehended and is still on the FBI's most wanted list. The hunt for the saboteur begins…a story of espionage, attempted murder, and assassination.

Rock Star/Movie Star

Power and Performance in Cinematic Rock Stardom

By: Landon Palmer

During the mid-1950s, when Hollywood found itself struggling to compete within an expanding entertainment media landscape, certain producers and studios saw an opportunity in making films that showcased performances by rock 'n' roll stars. Rock stars eventually found cinema to be a useful space to extend their creative practices, and the motion picture and recording industries increasingly saw cinematic rock stardom as a profitable means to connect multiple media properties. Indeed, casting rock stars for film provided a tool for bridging new relationships across media industries and practices. From Elvis Presley to Madonna, this book examines the casting rock stars in films. In so doing, Rock Star/Movie Star offers a new perspective on the role of stardom within the convergence of media industries. While hardly the first popular music culture to see its stars making the transition to screen, the timing of rock's emergence and its staying power within popular culture proved fortuitous for a motion picture business searching for its place in the face of continuous technological and cultural change. At the same time, a post-star-system film industry provided a welcoming context for rock stars who have valued authenticity, creative autonomy, and personal expression. This book uses illuminating archival resources to demonstrate how rock stars have often proven themselves to be prominent film workers exploring this terrain of platforms old and new - ideal media laborers whose power lies in the fact that they are rarely recognized as such. Combining star studies with media industry studies, this book proposes an integrated methodology for writing media history that combines the actions of individuals and the practices of industries. It demonstrates how stars have operated as both the gravitational center of media production as well as social actors who have taken on a decisive role in the purposes to which their images are used.

Lorenzo di Filippo Strozzi and Niccolo Machiavelli

Patron, Client, and the Pistola fatta per la peste/An Epistle Written Concerning the Plague

By: William J. Landon

By 1520, Niccolò Machiavelli’s life in Florence was steadily improving: he had achieved a degree of literary fame, and, following his removal from the Florentine Chancery by the Medici family, he had managed to gain their respect and patronage. But there is one figure whose substantial contributions to Machiavelli’s restoration has been hitherto neglected – Lorenzo di Filippo Strozzi (1482–1549), a younger and fabulously wealthy Florentine nobleman. As manuscript evidence suggests, Strozzi brought Machiavelli into his patronage network and aided many of his post-1520 achievements. This book is the first English biography of Strozzi, as well as the first examination of the patron-client relationship that developed between the two men. William J. Landon reveals Strozzi’s influence on Machiavelli through wide-ranging textual investigations, and especially through Strozzi’s Pistola fatta per la peste – a work that survives as a Machiavelli autograph, and for which Landon has provided the first ever complete English translation and critical edition.
