The Oleanders of San Leon
Author: Andy Upchurch
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1620244675
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Performing with rock and roll legends. Sailing the high seas. Digging for buried treasure. It's all just part of the adventure for Andy Upchurch. The Oleanders of San Leon recounts how Andy, a passionate musician and sailor, decides that building a house would be the perfect next great adventure. He possesses no construction skills, but that doesn't deter him. With an enthusiastic nature and an optimistic outlook, he purchases some rough, tangled land on the Texas coastal prairie, rolls up his sleeves, and gets to work. The story is written with a pervasive and underlying wit, tongue-in-cheek humor, and drama that's either real or imagined. Clearing the land becomes an epic battle between man and jungle and digging the holes to plant the house pilings becomes a hunt for pirate loot in Andy's wild imagination. Using a nail gun is more like wielding a weapon in the hands of a musician who is more comfortable with pianos. Going from living on a sailboat to building a house on solid ground, Andy doesn't really grasp what he's about to get into, but he will learn—sometimes the easy way, but more often the hard way! The undertaking is full of uncertainty, but he perseveres, and finally, the last nail is in place. Andy christens the house 'The Oleanders,' and the adventure is complete. Filled with hilarious moments, the book is interspersed with stories, snippets, and a yarn or two. It is not a 'how to' book that one would buy to learn all about building houses. It's merely the story of how one person, who definitely marches to the beat of a different drummer, did it. If you have ever wanted to do something you thought you couldn't, find your inspiration in The Oleanders of San Leon.

Book Description
Nearly the whole of America's partisan politics centers on a single question: Can markets solve our social problems? And for years this question has played out ferociously in the debates about how we should educate our children. From the growth of vouchers and charter schools to the implementation of No Child Left Behind, policy makers have increasingly turned to market-based models to help improve our schools, believing that private institutions--because they are competitively driven--are better than public ones. With The Public School Advantage, Christopher A. and Sarah Theule Lubienski offer powerful evidence to undercut this belief, showing that public schools in fact out-perform private ones.

Geology of the Appalachian—Caledonian Orogen in Canada and Greenland
Author: Harold Williams
Publisher: Geological Society of America
ISBN: 0813754518
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 951
Book Description
This volume focuses on the Canadian Appalachian region. The chapter on the East Greenland Caledonides stands alone and there is no attempt to integrate the geological accounts of the two far removed regions. Rocks of the Canadian Appalachian region are described under four broad temporal divisions: lower Paleozoic and older, middle Paleozoic, upper Paleozoic, and Mesozoic. The rocks of these temporal divisions define geographic zones, belts, basins, and graben, respectively. The area is of special interest because so many modern concepts of mountain building are based on Appalachian rocks & structures.
