Although Antoine Predock's practice is international, his roots are in the American southwest. His architecture draws from the elemental forces in any location, but in the desert it draws from the monolithic topography, expansive cerulean sky, and sparse geometric flora. Known for the way he incorporates references to the elemental forces--air, earth, fire, water--Predock's bold, fluid structures evoke the mythic nature that is rooted in regional culture and forms. This is the first book to put together all of the extraordinary houses designed by Antoine Predock. Each of the twelve remarkable private houses featured here--ten from Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, and two from California--harmoniously blend with their landscape in ways for which Predock is now so renowned. Characterized by environmentally conscious design, the houses display both exquisite refinement and an ingenious level of invention.
Dr. Josh Okelly is a handsome, former OHL player, who lives on the edge and never gives a damn about the consequences of his actions. Josh was sentenced to five months in jail for drinking and driving with a suspended license. The authorities tried to charge him with crimes against humanity during the civil war in Liberia and failed. With help from Lock Washington, Tia Carter will make a powerful movie loosely based on Joshs experiences during the Liberian civil war, portraying good men witnessing violence becoming the kinds of persons capable of horrible acts of violence. How is Josh going to charm his way out of this mess?

Lisa eats her way through Manhattan, Sid puts up with rides at DisneyWorld, Florida. But the tension really ratchets up in New Orleans, when Lisa is spotted by a pair of thugs determined to kill her. The trail of dead bodies grows, but something else is happening. Sid and Lisa learn not just to accept each other, in spite of their very differing values. They try to understand each other, which means learning about their childhoods and how they became the people they are. Surviving the challenges to their respective values is hard enough. The bigger challenge will be to stay alive long enough to return home to their normal lives.
