Campfire Tales, Uncle Joe's Stories of the Old West, is a collection of four short stories about the old west, each with its own unique wild west adventure. Red Horse Range is a story about a range war and about the danger of blind stubbornness, and about how no matter how much a man might want to stay neutral, there are times he must pick a side. Yancy Baines is a story about a young man's adventures on a wagon train to California where the treasure they come to seek is buried Confederate gold, and yet love becomes the ultimate prize. Paradise Valley is a story with a silver lining about a lost and penniless man in search of a fresh start who discovers true wealth can only come with the love of a good woman. The Patriarch is the story of a broken man who returns from the war only to discover he has lost everything, even the woman he loved. As he travels west in search a new life, he helps others escape their lost and pain and unwittingly creates the path to his own salvation. Written for all ages, these are stories to be enjoyed and shared by anyone who loves a good western.

The untold story of why America is so culturally and politically dividedAmerica may be more diverse than ever coast to coast, but the places where we live are becoming increasingly crowded with people who live, think, and vote as we do. This social transformation didn't happed by accident. We've built a country where we can all choose the neighborhood -- and religion and news show -- most compatible with our lifestyle and beliefs. And we are living with the consequences of this way-of-life segregation. Our country has become so polarized, so ideologically inbred, that people don't know and can't understand those who live just a few miles away. The reason for this situation, and the dire implications for our country, is the subject of this groundbreaking work.In 2004, the journalist Bill Bishop, armed with original and startling demographic data, made national news in a series of articles showing how Americans have been sorting themselves over the past three decades into alarmingly homogeneous communities -- not by region or by red state or blue state, but by city and even neighborhood. In The Big Sort, Bishop deepens his analysis in a brilliantly reported book that makes its case from the ground up, starting with stories about how we live today and then drawing on history, economics, and our changing political landscape to create one of the most compelling big-picture accounts of America in recent memory.The Big Sort will draw comparisons to Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone and Richard Florida's The Rise of the Creative Class and will redefine the way Americans think about themselves for decades to come.

The Carbon Chronicles: Quest for Truth Beyond the Veil For hundreds of years, humans ventured out into the galaxy in search of intelligent life only to be met by vacuum of lifeless space. Countless worlds are discovered, each as empty as the last. Mother Earth comes to be the sole home of life in the known universe. As the reality of a lifeless universe sinks in, religious zealots increase their monopoly on faith and power as the decades fade into centuries. Cast down on LC3, a desolate uninhabited world, to serve five years at hard labor in a penal mining colony, Ross Alexander Bowman only wants to find a way to survive until he learns of the existence of alien artifacts and the possibility of non-Earth life. Sucked in by his double-dealing cellmate, Bowman soon finds himself caught in a web of intrigue where hereditary lords, secret societies and religious zealots vie for control of the universe. Bowman becomes the unwitting savior when he accidentally stumbles onto a hidden world filled with a People and a Truth unknown to the groups who vie to control humanity's teaming masses. The deeper Bowman descends into the bowels of LC3, the deeper he probes the mysteries of this planet of the damned and the nearer he comes to his own destiny and that of the future course of humanity.
