Inside, Houston horticulturist Robert "Skip" Richter makes it easy with a in-depth month-by-month breakdown of what to plant, when to plant, and how to take care of it in order to have a beautiful Texas garden all year round. During each month, you'll learn to plan, plant, care for, water, fertilize, and troubleshoot in-season annuals, bulbs, lawns, natives, perennials, roses, shrubs, trees, vines, and groundcovers. As with all of our renowned gardening books, you're treated to gorgeous full-color "here's how" and plant photography and USDA zone maps. Plus, you'll get a detailed introduction to gardening specifically in the Lone Star State. So have no fear: from the red buckeyes in Dallas to Sunshine roses in Abilene, you'll have the best little garden in the biggest state around. For our full introduction to gardening in Texas, we also recommend companion books Texas Getting Started Garden Guide and Texas Fruit & Vegetable Gardening.

The Midnight Assassin

Panic, Scandal, and the Hunt for America's First Serial Killer

By: Skip Hollandsworth

A New York Times bestseller, The Midnight Assassin is a sweeping narrative history of a terrifying serial killer--America's first--who stalked Austin, Texas in 1885. In the late 1800s, the city of Austin, Texas was on the cusp of emerging from an isolated western outpost into a truly cosmopolitan metropolis. But beginning in December 1884, Austin was terrorized by someone equally as vicious and, in some ways, far more diabolical than London's infamous Jack the Ripper. For almost exactly one year, the Midnight Assassin crisscrossed the entire city, striking on moonlit nights, using axes, knives, and long steel rods to rip apart women from every race and class. At the time the concept of a serial killer was unthinkable, but the murders continued, the killer became more brazen, and the citizens' panic reached a fever pitch. Before it was all over, at least a dozen men would be arrested in connection with the murders, and the crimes would expose what a newspaper described as "the most extensive and profound scandal ever known in Austin." And yes, when Jack the Ripper began his attacks in 1888, London police investigators did wonder if the killer from Austin had crossed the ocean to terrorize their own city. With vivid historical detail and novelistic flair, Texas Monthly journalist Skip Hollandsworth brings this terrifying saga to life.

Between Worlds

By: Skip Brittenham

Immersive augmented reality brings this action-packed fantasy to life. The town of Eden Grove has a legend: In the center of a pine forest there is an aspen grove, and in the center of the aspen grove is an ancient, magnificent tree. A tree that grants wishes. Mayberry and Marshall have heard the stories about the Wishing Tree, but they know nothing like that could really exist near their dreary town. Misunderstood and restless, the teenagers wish for a lot of things, including being on another planet altogether. Somewhere with magic and adventure—someplace where they can be heroes. And then the unlikeliest thing happens: On a hike through the forest, they find the Wishing Tree. The pair make their wish, fall asleep . . . and wake up on Nith, a world that is exactly what they asked for. The alien landscape is beautiful, but it’s also full of dangerous and fantastic creatures, and almost without exception, the creatures are hungry. Soon Mayberry and Marshall learn two very important facts about their wish: First, that magic comes at a very steep cost; second, that they can only be heroes if they can survive. The journey that follows will test the limits of their courage and strength . . . and change them in ways they haven’t begun to imagine. This epic work brings fantasy to life, first by inviting readers into another world, then by using cutting-edge augmented reality technology to bring the world alive in interactive 3D.

Barren Grounds

The Story of the Tragic Moffatt Canoe Trip

By: Skip Pessl

In 1955 Arthur Moffatt led an expedition consisting of young college students and recent graduates to the Inuit lands of Nunavut, Canada, to follow the path of the 1893 Tyrrell expedition and to film and photograph the group's progress. The expedition, a 900-mile epic journey across the Barren Lands of Arctic Canada, has stirred controversy and criticism for over fifty years. The trip has been variously described as "the pioneering venture in modern recreational canoe travel" and as "an excellent example of how not to conduct a canoe trip." Delays took their toll on the adventurers, exhausted by the seemingly endless paddling through unknown rivers and lakes, the trek across the windswept tundra, and torment by voracious insects. Threatened with diminishing food reserves and increasingly harsh weather, the members of the expedition were forced to travel with greater speed and less caution, and ultimately a fatal mistake was made. Two of the canoes capsized, dumping four men into the frigid waters. Moffatt, the leader, died of exposure. It took the survivors ten days of arduous travel with minimum food and equipment to reach the safety of theÊHudson's Bay Company post. Barren Grounds features passages from the journals of two young Moffatt party members and excerpts about the 1893 expedition of Joseph Burr Tyrrell, along with entries from the journal of Art Moffatt himself. Part cautionary tale, part nail-biting adventure, the book will appeal to outdoorsmen and armchair adventurers alike.

A Sparrow Who Ate the Universe

A Hundred Pounds of Poems in a One Pound Book

By: Skip Maselli

Skip Maselli is a brilliant word alchemist. He pulls from the collective subconscious with the mastery of a genius, transforming our universal longing into an art that feels like an oasis to the thirsting traveler. His poetry has a sense of familiarity, a direct passage to the heart, infused with a new passion that makes its beats more audible. Reading him will inspire you and reconnect you to the deeper source of wisdom and beauty once known by every soul, yet only accessed daily by a few. Andra Balt, Author, Founder and Editor in Chief of Rebelle Society Masellis poetry is a reminder of the subtlest truths from the beyondlike the prophet Khalil Gibran, his verses are reminders presented in a different light... His couplets set the heart aflame with unquenchable longing until it is reduced to ashes He sings about love in beautiful versesbecause his soul itself has become a song of the beloved, a melody in harmony with and a strain of the music coming from the abode of the unseen. Maselli knows that he himself is not the author of all these verses, rather he is like the flute, [awaiting] the beloveds breath.... Dr. Ahmad Javid Sarwari Qaderi, Sufi teacher and writer Books like this one, the rare gems in the tradition of Rumi and Hafiz, are not just forms of expression, but dialogues between the different facets of ones own self, travelogues through the terrains of the heart and soul, and the saga of stories woven within storiesReading Masellis poetry has the effect of being entranced by all the gates to an otherworldly wisdom, which lay hidden before un-trained eyes. The doors into the realm of love: where wandering is a gift and pain is a treasure. Dr. Arshia Qassim, Neurologist, Columnist, Writer, Poet, Artist

Your Only Choice is to Become Rich!

Your Only Choice is to Become Rich!

By: Skip Flanagan

“Your Only Choice is to Become Rich!" This is a self help book. In this book I will examine the complexities of life as a felon or probationer. My observations in this book are also for the misinformed and misguided. This book is of relevance to those who feel like their situations are hopeless. For those that have had thoughts of giving up. Given that no one wants to hire convicted felons, How will they survive? Is a life in a criminal system the only way out? If so, life as an entrepreneur is inevitable. Yet, living legal vs. illegal is a dilemma that all U.S. citizens encounter each day. A die-hard decision to survive or not survive. Furthermore, psychological implications as a result of poverty and economic oppression are only a few obstacles that these individuals must face. Stereotypes and prejudices leave only one option to overcome. To be successful. To be wealthy. To be rich. Yet, figuring out a way to become rich after one has made a mistake is an even harder dilemma. Being able to still have faith in the American system and accepting the consequences of ones' actions is even more difficult. Yet, with GOD and the truth, one can only be patient as his/her day in the sun is just down the road. Happiness comes simple and less frequent now, but is still accessible. Yet, someone has to guide you now. Someone has to show you how to get on track and stay on track. Someone has to show you that you still are American. Someone has to show you that the “American Dream” still includes you. You will forever be a possible recipient of this great prize. It's just going to be a little harder now. You have to get Rich. By legal means. By your own means. Believing and knowing no matter your race, creed, or religion that success is a jungle and a couple of misfortunes away. Last, in this book I will simply challenge some of the problems present in today's society. Explain this system of democracy. I will then offer my insights. You are then ok to form an opinion based on this literature. My hope is that you come away with a sense of pride and understanding of what it takes to become successful. Success has long meant the unlimited accumulation of material possessions. Rich means a lot more than what meets the eye. What's in you?

Rather than merely posing questions and providing answers, you’ll get details behind each—stories that bring to life players and coaches, games and seasons. This book is divided into four parts, with progressively more difficult questions in each new section. The Rookie section contains the most basic questions. Next come the Starter and All-Pro sections, followed by the biggest challenge: the Hall of Fame. Also, you’ll learn more about the great Eagles players and coaches of the past and present, including Norm Van Brocklin, Steve Van Buren, Chuck Bednarik, Pete Retzlaff, Harold Carmichael, Dick Vermeil, Mike Quick, Randall Cunningham, Reggie White, Andy Reid, and Carson Wentz.. Some of the many questions that this book answers include: Who scored the winning touchdown in the 1960 NFL Championship Game? When Donovan McNabb became the starting quarterback during the 1999 season, who did he replace? Who threw the longest touchdown pass in Eagles history? Who are the only three Eagles players to lead the league in scoring? This book makes the perfect gift for any fan of Philadelphia football!
