Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every now and then a scholar appears in the field of history whose outpouring of works earns them special tribute and homage. Such a person is Dr. Félix D. Almaráz Jr., of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Over the course of a career that spans more than four decades, don Félix (as he is respectfully known) has stamped his name on Texas history as an author of award-winning books and essays, as an ambassador for the profession, and as a winner of numerous awards and honors, many of them bestowed upon him by historical and learned societies abroad. Tejano Epic is a tribute to don Félix, compiled to recognize his outstanding service on behalf of Texas history in general and the state's Hispanic past in particular. All the contributors are well-known scholars in the field of Tejano history; all have been touched by Dr. Almaráz's exemplary scholarship, warm friendship, and consummate professionalism. The essays have a student readership in mind, each showing the historian at work: debunking stereotypes, revising the historical record, revisiting old events through new perspectives, engaging in archival detective work, or studying neglected topics in Tejano history. They are also suitable for teachers and general readers who want to know more about contributions and influences of the Mexican-origin people in Texas.

Download or read book Making Enemies written by Francis Bennett and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, Making Enemies was the opening volume in Francis Bennett's Cold War trilogy. 'For all of us now the Cold War is history... What interested me as a writer was how we survived. What went on behind the scenes?... I went looking for my own fictional explanations for historical events.' Francis Bennett Making Enemies centres on the race for the hydrogen bomb in 1947. Russia and the West, wartime allies, are now bitter enemies. Soviet Colonel Andropov tries to stall Britain's development of a nuclear deterrent, and a young British army officer unwittingly becomes enmeshed in his conspiracy. '[ Making Enemies] is more than the intelligent reader's spy thriller... Like all the best historical novels, the authenticity of background and time lend the story added credibility. I have never read the relationship between an intelligence officer and his pawn described so well.' Phillip Knightley, Daily Mail

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tales within "Alone in the Echo: A Journey Within" are not just stories; they are testaments to the strength and resilience of the female spirit. In a world that often demands women to be resilient, these stories celebrate the unyielding courage of women who face their solitude head-on. These characters are not damsels in distress waiting for rescue; they are architects of their destinies, finding solace, companionship, and even joy within the confines of their solitude. Through the prism of these narratives, readers will witness the transformation of solitude from a burden to a source of empowerment. The women in these stories draw upon their internal reservoirs of strength, confront their fears, and emerge as heroines of their lives. In the face of adversity, they redefine their identities, proving that solitude, far from being a weakness, can be a catalyst for profound personal growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Absolutely spellbinding ... completely unputdownable." - Karen Dionne, author of THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER. "Politics, greed, and money, in a thrilling book you will not want to put down." - The Expert Reviewers Twenty-two-year-old car thief, Kelsey Money, has always been one of the boys. She can take down guys bigger than herself in the ring, strip a car down to a bucket of bolts, and drive better than anyone she knows. Kelsey's solid, trustworthy, dependable. But lately, something's changed. Ever since Matt's drug-fueled brother, Lionel, came back on the scene, Kelsey feels like she's become something else - dispensable. So when she discovers Matt's plan to kidnap the disabled daughter of a Senate candidate and that child will never go home alive, Kelsey goes against everything she's ever believed in and makes the decision to save her. It's a decision she knows she could regret. Because when Matt discovers she's betrayed him, she'll be next to die. The Candidate's Daughter and its sequels Child of the State and A Stolen Woman are additions to the great action-packed, character-driven mystery and suspense thrillers for readers of Elle Gray, Stacy Willingham, and Sarah A. Denzil. (Warning: Some language may offend) What readers are saying about The Candidate's Daughter "A terrific ticking-clock thriller." "...political suspense of the best kind." "...makes you want to stop and read it all over again." A Word from the Author First of all, thank you for your interest in my books. You’ll find in many of my books, I include characters with intellectual or physical challenges. Added to this, I wanted to write twisty crime thrillers with complex characters and surprise endings, so I created the Elizabeth McClaine thriller series. So, who is Elizabeth McClaine? Strong-minded Elizabeth uses her connections to the local government in her home town of Cleveland, Ohio to find justice for those who need it. The stories involve kidnappings and heists, corporate greed and murders and storylines that will keep the pages turning onto the wee hours. What gives these stories heart? Real, believable characters from Elizabeth herself to Holly, the cherished only daughter born with Down syndrome. Having loved and cared for a disabled daughter myself, I know the joy and the challenges caring for and loving a disabled child can bring. Therefore, from book #1, Holly brings Elizabeth a real sense of purpose and a desire to help those in need. The books in the series are sequential, but each is a standalone, so you can read them out of order. The Elizabeth McClaine Series so far Includes: BOOK #1: THE CANDIDATE’S DAUGHTER BOOK#2: CHILD OF THE STATE BOOK #3 A STOLEN WOMAN THE ELIZABETH MCCLAINE BOX SET OF THRILLERS Standalone Titles by Catherine Lea LAST SEEN LEAVING – A THRILLER DROPPING DEAD IN DELBY RISH – A VERY BRITISH MURDER MYSTERY (Satire)THE CONTESTANT – A SERIAL KILLER THRILLER If you have any questions, you’ll find my page on Goodreads. Again, my most heartfelt thanks for your interest, Catherine
