While sometimes mischaracterized as the last respite of alcoholism, despair, and questionable motives, Texas dive bars are a reminder that life is not limited to the pressures and profits of the 9-to-5 world. A true dive earns its status through age and patron loyalty, so while dives are outposts from much of society, they're typically stable businesses and often active in their neighborhoods.

In Texas Dives: Enduring Neighborhood Bars of the Lone Star State, veteran writer Anthony Head and internationally recognized photographer Kirk Wedd...

A Galahad of the Creeks is about Peregrine Jackson and the young Englishman's exploration across Burma. Excerpt: "You're Jackson, I suppose? I'm Hawkshaw." The two men shook hands and looked each other straight in the face. Each saw the other's strength. Later on, they noticed the loose rivets in each other's mail.

"Goodbye, captain." "Good-bye. The next time you come with me I'll have the ngape all ready for you."
