"Boggs is among the best western writers at work today." --Booklist "Boggs is unparalleled in evoking the gritty reality of the Old West." --The Shootist ‘Til Death Do Us Part Stranded in the Mojave Desert, Micah Bishop is about to cash in his chips for good when he's rescued by an unlikely savior. Whip Watson is hand-delivering two dozen brides to the silver boom town of Calico, where miners are going loco for companionship.

A sociologist of international migration examines the Chinese American experience.
The story takes place off the China Coast in the months before Pearl Harbor. The Chinese Mafia hatch a plot to highjack a barge load of high-grade tungsten ore belonging to the Americans and sell it to the Japanese. Two young Americans are hired to sail an ancient sea-going tugboat from Hong Kong to the Philippines where they pick up the barge and tow it back to Shanghai. Their amorous adventures in the ports, their battles with nature, hostile navies and modern-day pirates make up a good tale, which culminates in a royal battle for the prize in the war-torn harbor of Shanghai.

Rural issues are currently attracting unprecedented levels of interest, with the debates surrounding the future of 'traditional' rural customs and practice becoming a significant political concern. However, the problem of racism in rural areas has been largely overlooked by academics, practitioners and researchers who have sought almost exclusively to develop an understanding of racism in urban contexts. This book aims to address this oversight by examining notions of ethnic identity, 'otherness' and racist victimisation that have tended to be marginalised from traditional rural discourse.

I suffered a massive stroke in 2016 that affected my breathing, speech, swallowing, vision, and motor control. Thanks to neuroplasticity, I expect to recover 100%, but it will take years. According to CDC, 1 in 4 (or 83 million) Americans will have a stroke (during their lifetime). Of that, 18% or 15 million Americans will die from a stroke, and 72% or 60 million Americans will live with a long-term disability. Despite its prevalence, we know little about stroke. This book recounted my experience as a stroke survivor in the early years of 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, but shifted focus to the generation-defining events in 2020, 2021, and 2022. This is because rehab in the later years was too repetitive to recount.
