Download or read book Stand Tough written by William F. Martin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2002-03-13 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a bygone era, the cowboys of the Old West spent the best parts of their lives working to maintain cattle ranches, to breed and raise livestock and to drive cattle to market. The luckiest of those spent their time on the very ranch that their father, and perhaps their grandfather, had built living out hard-earned legacies that gave them clear priorities and, if they were truly fortunate, more family to carry on when their time ended. Stand Tough begins William Martins tale which is set within that era but even then, there were men who had been cheated out of their rightful inheritances by others who were willing to use any means to get the land, money and power they desired. The survivors of our Old West werent always the proud or the righteous; often, those left standing were among historys most sinister characters. Having acknowledged the villains of this period, it should be noted that Americas history also reveals a solid consistency in producing worthy opponents to them each of whom has stood for our countrys most revered values. Entering the world of Stand Tough, readers meet such a man. Despite overwhelming odds, Clint Mason reveals the power of one... and single-handedly sets out to defend what remains of his family and their land at all costs. Experiencing Clints covert travails as he re-enters the land of his youth as a full-grown man, as he comes to grasp the depths of the troubles his brother has suffered and the desperate state of his familys land and their neighboring ranches, we see how sharp wits and sure-handed action can begin to conquer the unknown and the unjust. Mr. Martin wishes to acknowledge the inspiration provided by his favorite uncle, the late Tom Weatherholt, who was a professional truck driver by trade. It was at the age of eight, while accompanying his Uncle Tom on a trip from Kentucky to New York City, sleeping aboard that big rig and eating at truck stops, that the author was introduced to Zane Grey. He also offers many thanks to Roger Darnell for his support in the editing of this book.

Download or read book Smog Check written by Douglas S. Eisinger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When federal and state governments battle over environmental regulations, whose approach should prevail? Shortly after passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, a controversial U.S. EPA mandate led to an intense conflict between federal regulators and California politicians. The disagreement pitted EPA's required overhaul of auto inspections against California's desire to self-govern its test program - popularly called 'Smog Check.' The conflict nearly upended the Clean Air Act, and triggered dramatic policy shifts throughout the United States. Smog Check presents these struggles in first-hand detail. Eisinger, an EPA official at the time of this conflict, probes deeply into the issues and explores broader questions including: when does it become imperative for agencies to bargain with one another, when should regulatory flexibility and performance-based regulations be favored over command and control approaches, and what should be done when decisions need to be made in the face of scientific disagreement? The book also includes insightful commentary from other EPA participants in the Smog Check controversy. Smog Check's lessons will be relevant to climate change, air pollution control, and numerous other policy challenges. First Published in 2010. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
