Book Description
This book provides a unique, thorough, and indispensable resource for anyone investigating the causes and consequences of the Dust Bowl. During the 1930s, drought and the cultivation of submarginal lands created a severe wind-erosion problem in the southern Great Plains, a region that became known as the Dust Bowl. During the worst dust storms, the blowing soil often turned day into night. Some people died when caught outside during a black blizzard, others developed "dust pneumonia," and some residents moved to California. Most people, however, remained. Those who stayed and endured the storms had an abiding faith that federal resources and the return of normal rainfall would end the dust storms and return life to normal, free from the desperation and fear caused by the blowing soil. Documents of the Dust Bowl offers a fascinating documentary history of one of the worst ecological disasters in American history. It will enable high school students and academics alike to study the manner in which Dust Bowl residents confronted and endured the dust storms in the southern Great Plains during the 1930s.

Book Description
The epic Star Requiem fantasy series begins on an inhospitable world where elemental gods plan the destruction of the human race. It is on this planet, where only the Windmasters can summon the devastating power of rain, gale, thunder, and lightning, that the last surviving remnants of humankind have come, fleeing the destruction of their empire at the hands of the alien Csendook. And it is here the human race will be resurrected...or exterminated. The sorcerers of this barbaric, inhospitable world have vowed to cleanse Innasmorn of the uninvited "abomination." And somewhere in the swirl of the dimensions--eons distant but as near as a word of power--the relentless Csendook destroyers scent human blood on the galactic wind. "Adrian Cole has a magic touch." -- Roger Zelazny Don't miss the entire Star Requiem quartet: Mother of Storms, Thief of Dreams, Warlord of Heaven, Labyrinth of Worlds

Book Description
Twenty sixteen was a very strange and unusual year for me (and mainly the main focal year for this journal), and it was a bit scary. This experience got me thinking of writing some parts of it and doing it a little bit differently than my other stories and journals by combining the two and adding a few other things. It will have some snippets of my life experience from what I can recall and hash back—maybe going back farther than 2016 to tie it all together—and give an update of my life now. Then I put in a journal for poems in between, which I will put in the beginning, middle, and some or most in the end of this short story journal / poem book. Enjoy, and I hope you are able to jot down your thoughts on this and that. It will help you if you yourself are also fighting the darkness to get back to the light.

Book Description
For the first time in an omnibus edition, this duology tells the tale of a twilight age for magic, as one ancient mage tries to hide the secrets that might destroy the world. It is the twilight of the mages.... Only one of these terrifying and mysterious men still remains--the difficult and enigmatic Lord Eldrich. More than one hundred and thirty years of age, but appearing no older than forty, Eldrich dwells in seclusion, his precious knowledge disclosed to no one, his very existence subject to speculation. For motives of his own, he has dedicated his life to eliminating all remaining vestiges of magic in the world. But his work does not go unchallenged: for there are those sworn to preserve the very lore Eldrich is striving to eradicate. Fanatical followers of a long-dead mage-apprentice, the Tellerites will stop at nothing to reclaim the forbidden powers of the magical arts--even if it means braving Eldrich's wrath and descending into the perilous depths of a labyrinthine cave system, in search of secrets that have lain hidden since the time of the first mage.
