Big Wonderful Thing
The story of Texas is the story of struggle and triumph in a land of extremes. It is a story of drought and flood, invasion and war, boom and bust, and of the myriad peoples who, over centuries of conflict, gave rise to a place that has helped shape the identity of the United States and the destiny of the world. “I couldn’t believe Texas was real,” the painter Georgia O’Keeffe remembered of her first encounter with the Lone Star State. It was, for her, “the same big wonderful thing that oceans and the highest mountains are.” Big Wonderful Thing invites us to walk in the footsteps of ancient as well as modern people along the path of Texas’s evolution.

Traffic of the Mind
From birth to death, we are on a journey with the destination clearly marked, and along the way we have to make decisions: How long do we have to get there and what is the best route? Underneath these are a million life questions, such as: How will I know? Is what I know enough? Where do I go to learn? We live in a world of impatient drivers and a lot of changing lanes, and it's hard to fully understand this journey called life. In Traffic of the Mind: Determining the Driving Forces of Our Lives, author Dede Casad offers answers in a collection of essays that lead to one large question: What is your driving force? You might call your driving force a passion, a calling, or just natural talent. Whatever it is, it's safe to say that each person possesses an individual driving force footprint unlike any other that is the core of his or her personality. Is it for recognition, power, or service? Is it a desire to comfort, listen, or teach? Whatever it is, get behind the wheel and, along with Dede, traverse the highways and byways of intriguing social, political, and spiritual demands that call and challenge every person into life's most congested Traffic of the Mind.

Rhetoric in Martial Deliberations and Decision Making
In this study of the discourse involved in martial deliberations, Ronald H. Carpenter examines the rhetoric employed by naval and military commanders as they recommend specific tactics and strategies to peers as well as presidents.

Naval Warfare 1919-45
Naval Warfare 1919–45 is a comprehensive history of the war at sea from the end of the Great War to the end of World War Two. Showing the bewildering nature and complexity of the war facing those charged with fighting it around the world, this book ranges far and wide: sweeping across all naval theatres and those powers performing major, as well as minor, roles within them. Armed with the latest material from an extensive set of sources, Malcolm H. Murfett has written an absorbing as well as a comprehensive reference work. He demonstrates that superior equipment and the best intelligence, ominous power and systematic planning, vast finance and suitable training are often simply not enough in themselves to guarantee the successful outcome of a particular encounter at sea. Sometimes the narrow difference between victory and defeat hinges on those infinite variables: the individual’s performance under acute pressure and sheer luck. Naval Warfare 1919–45 is an analytical and interpretive study which is an accessible and fascinating read both for students and for interested members of the general public.
