Tom Sealy - a Man of Action
Tom Sealy of Midland, Texas was an insightful, thoughtful attorney and public servant who provided leadership and notable contributions in law, government, education, business and civic life in the twentieth century. In the aftermath of World War II, Sealy marshalled a team of U.S. Armed Services attorneys who secured landmark convictions of Nazi war criminals. As Chair of the Board of Regents at the University of Texas, Sealy issued the order to allow admission of African American students at all levels in 1955, making UT the first public university in the South to overturn segregation. Sealy hired the young Darrell Royal who became the legendary Longhorn football coach. In subsequent years, Sealy was instrumental in providing many new opportunities for remarkable changes that provided justice and advancement in both public and private institutions. Tom Sealy's story can now be told in context with the many important changes that took place in Texas and the United States during the twentieth century.
The Methuselah Effect
Most people believe that humanity's survival is threatened by catastrophic overpopulation.Nothing could be further from the truth.In fact, the greatest threat to modern society--in North America, Japan, and Europe--is a global decline in birth rates combined with a massive tidal wave of retirees that will overwhelm our economies and social welfare systems. If nothing is done to stem this "gray tsunami," it could end civilization as we know it.However, bioscience is on the verge of providing a solution: groundbreaking life-extension research could help us be productive and self-sufficient for much longer... and live healthily to 100 years and beyond. Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, liver fibrosis, arthritis, even wrinkles, may soon be problems of the past. We might even be able to reverse aging itself.
Harry Heron Midshipman's Journey
In the vein of Horatio Hornblower, Patrick Cox weaves an exciting, authentic tale of Henry (Harry) Nelson-Heron, a young midshipman in the British Navy in the early 1800s. Born in 1789 during the Irish Rebellion, Harry must overcome the prejudice against the Irish, the ancient enmity between his family and another, and the usual hazards of an active and inquisitive youth in order to realise his dream of becoming an officer in Britain's Royal Navy. When he and his faithful friend and companion Ferghal make the treacherous journey to London to find a ship, fate smiles on them. Harry is appointed a midshipman, and Ferghal joins him on the HMS Bellerophon as a seaman. Corsairs, diplomacy, and exploration challenge their skills as the seafaring life takes Harry and Ferghal across the seas and beyond.
Ralph W. Yarborough, the People's Senator
A compelling biography of a Texas senator who was “a defiant, dedicated liberal in the face of conservative Southern politics” (Publishers Weekly). Revered by many Texans and other Americans as “the People’s Senator,” Ralph Webster Yarborough fought for “the little people” in a political career that places him in the ranks of the most influential leaders in Texas history. The only U.S. senator representing a former Confederate state to vote for every significant piece of modern civil rights legislation, Yarborough became a cornerstone of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society programs in the areas of education, environmental preservation, and health care. In doing so, he played a maj...
I Am (Not) a Number
Cult TV show The Prisoner is widely considered surreal. In his new book, Cox takes an opposing view. According to Cox, the key to understanding The Prisoner is to view the series in the order in which the episodes were made - not in the re-arranged order of the UK or US television screenings. In this book he does exactly that, and provides an entirely original and controversial 'explanation' for what is perhaps the best, the most original, and certainly the most perplexing, TV series of all time.
The First Texas News Barons
Newspaper publishers played a crucial role in transforming Texas into a modern state. By promoting expanded industrialization and urbanization, as well as a more modern image of Texas as a southwestern, rather than southern, state, news barons in the early decades of the twentieth century laid the groundwork for the enormous economic growth and social changes that followed World War II. Yet their contribution to the modernization of Texas is largely unrecognized. This book investigates how newspaper owners such as A. H. Belo and George B. Dealey of the Dallas Morning News, Edwin Kiest of the Dallas Times Herald, William P. Hobby and Oveta Culp Hobby of the Houston Post, Jesse H. Jones and Ma...
