Download or read book What s So Great about Granite written by Jennifer H. Carey and published by Mountain Press Publishing Company. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even if they don't know much about rocks, most folks can name at least one place they have encountered granite; but ask them about other types of rocks, and they may give you a funny look. In everyday life you'll find countertops, headstones, flooring--even whole buildings made of granite. In the natural world it forms random boulders in fields and many of the planet's loftiest peaks. Commonness aside, no two granites are alike; it is a mysterious rock that crystallizes from magma miles and miles below the surface, far beyond the reach of human observation.

Book excerpt: 'Get away from here before you're completely bewitched and enslaved...' Dorothy Carrington was told, while sitting in a fisherman's cafe at the magically quiet midday hour.

For the first time Corsica is brought to light as a vital element in Europe: a highly individualistic island culture whose people have nurtured their love of freedom and political justice, as well as their pride, hospitality and poetry.

Download or read book Sunsets and Granite Counter Tops written by Carl Stars and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you living a “checklist life”? Are you getting married, working a 9–5 job, and buying a house in the suburbs because you want to, or because that’s what we are all “supposed” to do? Carl Stars was doing just that—“winning” at the game of life—but he was not happy. He always felt there had to be more meaning out there. In this engaging memoir, Carl tells his story and how he changed from chasing money and material possessions to finding true happiness. Carl was raised to be happy; his parents were diligent people who understood the value of working hard, living frugally, and spending their precious time and money on what was most important. Carl shares his childhood memories, and the fortuitous vacation in the Florida Keys that changed the trajectory of his life. Through Carl’s adulthood, there were many drunken adventures. For decades, he somehow held down high-pressure jobs, using alcohol to numb himself to an over-abundance of responsibility he never wanted. He chased the material world—endless dinners, shopping, work, and more work—and all the trappings of “normal.” After Carl started living his own life, by adopting minimalism and doing what he wanted to do, only then did he discover real happiness. Gratitude and Abundance aren’t just buzzwords on Facebook; these are the true keys to happiness!

Download or read book The Nature and Origin of Granite written by W.S. Pitcher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of granite has for long fascinated geologists though serious debate on the topic may be said to date from a famous meeting of the Geological Society of France in 1847. My own introduction to the subject began exactly one hundred years later when, in an interview with Profes sor H. H. Read, I entered his study as an amateur fossil collector and left it as a committed granite petrologist - after just ten minutes! I can hardly aspire to convert my reader in so dramatic a way, yet this book is an attempt, however inadequate, to pass on the enthusiasm that I inherited, and which has been reinforced by innumerable discussions on the outcrop with granitologists of many nationalities and of many shades of opinion. Since the 1960s, interest in granites has been greatly stimulated by the thesis that granites image their source rocks in the inaccessible deep crust, and that their diversity is the result of varying global tectonic context. So great a body of new data and new ideas has accumulated that my attempt to review the whole field of granite studies must carry with it a possible charge of arrogance, especially as I have adopted the teaching device of presenting the material from a personal point of view with its thinly disguised prejudices.

Download or read book Granite Elephants written by Tom Rhyne and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “That’s what always worries me about you two. Killings bring a lot of heat.” Granite Elephants, Tom Rhyne’s debut work, is a clever, entertaining thriller with a likeable protagonist in widower Jury Garrett, a near-50 ex-cop who spends some of his time as a private investigator, but only on cases he likes. “He took another slow drag on his cigarette and stared at the ceiling. I still don’t understand why he wouldn’t help us use his system for our military applications. Why can’t we keep this son-of-a-bitch under control? He’s a geek, not Jason fuckin’ Bourne.” Set in Austin and Brussels, Rhyne’s story opens with a Sunday-night phone call from a young and beautiful wife, Janelle Kinlaw, whose husband, Walter, an equally young high-tech entrepreneur, has disappeared during a trip to Europe. Jury’s work on her case soon leads him into conflicts with the U.S. Army—who had funded Walter’s start-up company in Austin—some criminal types wanting to collect on a New York agency’s sub rosa loan, the Austin Police Department, and a highly placed banking official located in a secured office in Brussels. As Jury follows a complex series of rabbit trails to find out “Where’s Walter?,” he leans on former associates whose specialized knowledge (including applications of artificial intelligence to international currency trading) helps him get closer to the missing entrepreneur. Anyone who has spent time in Austin will find this quick-moving, down-to-earth page-turner of very special interest. Rhyne will definitely leave you wondering where Jury goes from here. Tom Rhyne has been involved with computer technology since 1957, when he built a computer that won the science fair in his hometown of La Marque, Texas. Since then, he has earned three degrees, including a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, which he competed in 1967. He then moved back to Texas to teach computer engineering at Texas A&M. He has also worked for NASA, Texas Instruments, and Motorola. He is a registered agent with the U.S. Patent Office and has served as an expert witness in over a hundred patent cases involving computer technology and fraud detection.
