Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

There are Old West heroes of courage and conviction—and then there are the Sidewinders. Bullets fly in this rowdy adventure from the bestselling authors. William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone bring back those beloved, bumbling cowboys, Bo Creel and Scratch Morton. As usual, despite their best efforts, deep trouble has a way of tracking them down . . . Knocking on Trouble’s Door There’s nothing like family. At least that’s what people say. But when Bo and Scratch come home to Bear Creek for a long-overdue visit, Bo’s family kindly invites him to turn around and leave. His old friends and neighbors turn tail and run when they see him. Next thing he knows, he’s in jail for the brutal murder of two saloon girls in neighboring Cottonwood. Unfortunately, the real killer looks astonishingly like Bo. Now, with his buddy in jail, Scratch needs to ride to the rescue, if he can escape the clutches of the beautiful assistant to a traveling snake oil salesman. With Bear Creek in an uproar, a man with Bo Creel’s face and body is about to kill again. And the worst is still hovering on the horizon: a family secret that could turn Bo’s hair bone-white. Praise for the novels of William W. Johnstone “[A] rousing, two-fisted saga of the growing American frontier.”—Publishers Weekly on Eyes of Eagles “There’s plenty of gunplay and fast-paced action.”—Curled Up with a Good Book on Dead Before Sundown

Bleeding Texas

By: William W. Johnstone,J.A. Johnstone

Two hard-living cowboys get caught up in a Texas ranch war in this Western adventure by the New York Times bestselling author of Ambush in the Ashes. Bo Creel is back at his family's Star C Ranch in Bear Creek, Texas. Along with his buddy Scratch, he's finding out that home is where the hell-raising is. A rival ranch is trying to drive the Creel family out of business. And Bo and Scratch are ready to tangle, even as two pretty young ladies blur the battle lines. As the Creel family sets off on a trial drive south to Rockport and a thriving cattle market on the Gulf of Mexico, their rivals strike a devastating blow. Assembling a ragtag army of aging, crusty cowboys who've seen their share of gun battles, Bo and Scratch need to recapture a stolen herd and make it to the Texas coast in time to save the Creel family's future—while a relentless enemy is about to unload the bloodiest mayhem to ever drench Texas.

The Obits: The New York Times Annual 2012

By: William McDonald

The obits. It’s the first section many of us turn to when we open the paper, not to see who died, but rather to find out about who lived to discover the interesting lives of people who’ve made a mark. A new annual that collects nearly 300 of the best of The New York Times obituaries from the previous year, The Obits Annual 2012 is a compelling, addictive-as-salted-peanuts “who’s who” of some of the most fascinating people of the twentieth century. Written by top journalists each entry is a jewel, a miniature, nuanced biography filled with the facts we love to read, with the surprise and serendipity of life. There’s David L. Wolper, the producer of Roots—and the story of how he got his start purchasing film footage from Sputnik. The jazz singer, Abbey Lincoln, and her change from glamorous performer—she owned a dress of Marilyn Monroe’s—to civil rights activist (she burned the Monroe dress). Owsley Stanley, the quirky perfecter of LSD, who blamed a heart attack on the fact that his mother made him eat broccoli as a child. Patricia Neal—known by most as a movie star, but her real life, filled with tragedy, adversity, and incredible professional ups and downs, is almost a surreal play of triumph and tragedy. Arranged chronologically, like the obits themselves, it’s a deliciously random walk through the recent past, meeting the philosophers, newsmen, spies, publishers, moguls, soul singers, baseball managers, Nobel Prize winners, models, and others who’ve shaped the world.

Money and the Rule of Law

Money and the Rule of Law

Generality and Predictability in Monetary Institutions

By: Peter J. Boettke,Alexander William Salter,Daniel J. Smith

Contemporary monetary institutions are flawed at a foundational level. The reigning paradigm in monetary policy holds up constrained discretion as the preferred operating framework for central banks. But no matter how smart or well-intentioned are central bankers, discretionary policy contains information and incentive problems that make macroeconomic stability systematically unlikely. Furthermore, central bank discretion implicitly violates the basic jurisprudential norms of liberal democracy. Drawing on a wide body of scholarship, this volume presents a novel argument in favor of embedding monetary institutions into a rule of law framework. The authors argue for general, predictable rules to provide a sturdier foundation for economic growth and prosperity. A rule of law approach to monetary policy would remedy the flaws that resulted in misguided monetary responses to the 2007-8 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the case for true monetary rules is the first step toward creating more stable monetary institutions.

My Barefoot Days

By: William D. Tate

About the Book My Barefoot Days is a tender and deeply personal journey back in time to the childhood of William Tate as he grew up in the small town of Grapevine, Texas in the first half of the twentieth century. Before becoming mayor at age 30 and dutifully serving his hometown for forty-seven years, Tate was a bright-eyed child finding adventure on his family’s farm and on the pleasant streets of a blossoming Grapevine. This book is as much a memoir as it is a portrayal of the hope and unity of small-town America, and how close-knit communities such as Grapevine come to shape us as individuals. About the Author William D. Tate was born and raised in Grapevine, Texas. He received his bachelor’s degree in Accounting from North Texas State University and his juris doctor degree from the University of Houston. He served as city attorney and on city council in Grapevine before becoming mayor, a position he has held for the past forty-seven years. He is the longest serving mayor in Texas and the third longest serving mayor in the United States.

The Behavior of Federal Judges

A Theoretical and Empirical Study of Rational Choice

By: Lee Epstein,William M Landes,Richard A Posner

Using statistical methods, a political scientist, an economist, and a judge construct a unified theory of judicial decision-making to dispel the mystery of how decisions from district courts to the Supreme Court are made.

Critical Connections

The University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge from the Dawn of the Atomic Age to the Present

By: Lee Riedinger,Allen Ekkebus,William Bugg,D Ray Smith

This is a history of the long association of the University of Tennessee with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, dating back to the Manhattan Project. While large-scale partnerships between scientific laboratories and academic institutions are now common, in the aftermath of World War II it was not clear what role this huge research and development program would play in postwar America, but pioneering professors and administrators were determined that one option--dismantling the whole thing--would not happen. Thus began a now eight-decade long association that has flowered into one of the world's largest collaborations between a federal agency and a research university"--

Texas Art and a Wildcatter's Dream

Edgar B. Davis and the San Antonio Art League

By: William E. Reaves

At a crucial moment in the development of Texas art, an eccentric oil wildcatter form Massachusetts and Luling, Texas, turned to the prestigious San Antonio Art League with a proposal. He would fund a national art competition featuring the state's verdant fields of wildflowers and bring prominence to Texas art if the league would handle the details. Thus was born the Texas Wildflower Competitive Exhibitions, which in three years at the end of the Roaring Twenties awarded more than $53,000 in prize money for paintings of Texas wildflowers, ranch life, and cotton farming. This presentation of twenty-nine color plates of the competitions' best works includes paintings by such important artists as Jose Arpa, Dawson Dawson-Watson, Xavier Gonzalez, Edward G. Eisenlohr, and Oscar E. Berninghaus and Herbert Dunton (the latter duo having also served as founding members of the Taos Society of Artists). In the plates, the artists have portrayed a variety of landscapes and atmospheres to present the wildflowers loved not only by Davis but by generations of Texas art enthusiasts.
