Book Description
Aging logger Daniel Hobgood looks back on a life lived in pursuit of a dream. Born the son of a struggling pulpwooder, he fought against the odds to rise above the path that folks thought he ought to follow. Always looking for a better way, young Daniel's thinking was always outside the box. He would try any idea that would help him in pursuit of his dream. Life in post-World War II Alabama was a time of hard work, poverty, sorrow, humor, and joy. The church is a big part of the culture, providing the backdrop against which lives were lived. Daniel's life is no exception. Work, church, coon hunting, and family are all he knows. The more he learns, the more he realizes he has yet to learn. Did Daniel achieve his dream? Was the dream worth the struggle? If you have ever had a dream, join Daniel as he remembers his six decades of living A Logger's Dream.

Book Description
Across the inland West, forests that once seemed like paradise have turned into an ecological nightmare. Fires, insect epidemics, and disease now threaten millions of acres of once-bountiful forests. Yet no one can agree what went wrong. Was it too much management—or not enough—that forced the forests of the inland West to the verge of collapse? Is the solution more logging, or no logging at all? In this gripping work of scientific and historical detection, Nancy Langston unravels the disturbing history of what went wrong with the western forests, despite the best intentions of those involved. Focusing on the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington, she explores how the complex landscapes that so impressed settlers in the nineteenth century became an ecological disaster in the late twentieth. Federal foresters, intent on using their scientific training to stop exploitation and waste, suppressed light fires in the ponderosa pinelands. Hoping to save the forests, they could not foresee that their policies would instead destroy what they loved. When light fires were kept out, a series of ecological changes began. Firs grew thickly in forests once dominated by ponderosa pines, and when droughts hit, those firs succumbed to insects, diseases, and eventually catastrophic fires. Nancy Langston combines remarkable skills as both scientist and writer of history to tell this story. Her ability to understand and bring to life the complex biological processes of the forest is matched by her grasp of the human forces at work—from Indians, white settlers, missionaries, fur trappers, cattle ranchers, sheep herders, and railroad builders to timber industry and federal forestry managers. The book will be of interest to a wide audience of environmentalists, historians, ecologists, foresters, ranchers, and loggers—and all people who want to understand the changing lands of the West.

Book Description
Nightmares that Kill A short while after being accepted as a student at New York University, Ted Harris, a Canadian, replaces a sick friend at his workplace, thus violating the conditions of his student’s visa. To avoid being expulsed from the USA, he joins the Marine Corps which implies taking courses on ‘Military Strategy and The Use of Explosives’ in addition to ‘Basic Training.’ As a result of a Presidential decision, Ted is precipitated into a long-lasting confrontation with the North Vietnamese Secret Service Commander. Nguyen Quang Hung, a South Vietnamese Special Forces Officer, becomes Ted’s teammate in various undercover operations. Ted witnesses his fellow soldiers being turned into human torches, stabbed by falling bamboo traps, shot or beheaded.

From one skirmish to another across Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, Ted and Hung keep crossing swords with an anonymous general called ‘General Shadow’ by the Americans. Eventually, Ted and Hung are captured and tortured. They narrowly escape death. The illusive General Shadow, in his spiteful will to defeat Ted at all costs, gets his fiancée executed. Ted is overwhelmed by his recurring nightmares which gradually he cannot distinguish from reality. After barely surviving the green jungle of Vietnam, is Ted going to be overcome by his nightmares of the jungle?

Book Description
Warning: If you don't like nightmares and horror, then don't read this book. Dream and Nightmares of a Menopausal Woman is a collection of 157 extremely vivid dreams experienced over a two-year period. Normally, this would be nothing of great interest. But I am epileptic, and one of the causes of my seizures is hormones. During the hormonal imbalance of menopause, I was basically allergic to myself! I never knew what was going to come at me each time I shut my eyes for sleep. Often not wanting to sleep due to the nightmares that plagued me. Not all my dreams where nightmares. Some of my dreams were sexual, some hilarious, and some dotted with celebrities. A very unique read that also includes nineteen illustrations. "Unique and interesting opportunity to see the perspective of a woman going through quite a difficult menopause. Thankfully, menopause ends." —Shelia Schwartz "This adventure of a dream series journal, so wonderfully recalled, recorded and recounted in amazing detail, is a delightful and amusing experience. This book is a virtual 'smorgasbord' for dream and sleep researchers alike, who may find it an in depth challenge to interpret such. This book gives a whole new meaning to the words: pillow talk. Most delightful, Bambi Davis!" —Cheryl A. Hartwell
