In All Cases Whatsoever
Imagine meeting a charming young woman at a dance; you fall in love, marry, and sail with her to America. At the same time you save your best friend from being captured as a deserter from the British army. Mix in literaly stumbling on a gold ingot while fly fishing and smuggling it to New York where you join the rebels. Independence from England has just been declared and the British fleet is in New York Harbor. Your country and your life are in jeopardy. This is the setting for In All Cases Whatsoever. Mr. Fords plot of battles and unlikely spies dovetails with history, and the books final event, which occurred in the Mohawk Valley, is so bizarre, one would believe it to be fiction. Chief Honeoye plays an important part. But readers will enjoy sorting it out for themselves.
Secret Trial
In his bestselling Presumed Guilty William Kaplan chronicled the corruption charges surrounding the 1988 $1.8 billion purchase by Air Canada of passenger airplanes from European giant Airbus Industries. Based on the available evidence, he concluded that former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney had been the victim of a campaign of unfounded allegation and reckless innuendo. But Kaplan discovered the story was more complicated. He sets the record straight in A Secret Trial. Not long after leaving office Brain Mulroney was paid $300,000 in cash by Karlheinz Schreiber, a German-Canadian middleman wanted in Germany for bribery and tax evasion. Mulroney vehemently denies any wrongdoing. When confronted by Kaplan about the unexplained payment, the former prime minister declared: "Anyone who says anything about [the $300,000] will be in for one fuck of a fight." At the root of Kaplan's investigation, laid bare by his determination and insight, is a secret trial held in Toronto full of stunning revelations that almost escaped public attention.
Karstology in the Classical Karst
This book presents the latest advances in karstology by researchers at the ZRC SAZU Karst Research Institute, Slovenia – home of Classical Karst. It features interdisciplinary investigations carried out on the karst surface, subsurface, caves, and associated waters. It covers various topics, such as analysis of karst processes, including the mineralogical and lithological characteristics of sediments and carbonate rocks; structural geological mapping; detecting the old traces of paleokarst; the formation of karst surfaces in a variety of types of rock and conditions; and the evolution of karst, which can aid in dating sediments, and in tracing aquifers using artificial and natural tracers. In addition, the book provides detailed information on the use and development of various research methods, ranging from comprehensive field research, long-term measurements, and laboratory analyses to computer and laboratory modeling. Integrating karst geology, geomorphology, hydrology, ecology, speleobiology, and microbiology research, these methods provide readers with a far deeper understanding of karst terrains.
The Rule Breaker
An unspoken rule. A friendship that will be tested. Quinn He was my crush at thirteen and ten years later that feeling never ceased. I thought that time and distance would change us but I never expected the feelings to grow. Now things are complicated His sister is my best friend. She’s also his twin. And I’m stuck in the middle. Trevor She was always my fantasy come to life and I knew even at sixteen that girls like her were rare. Soft, feminine, sweet to her core - she was my complete opposite. I knew how to keep her away when we were young, but I’m finding it hard to keep her out of reach when everyone is pushing us together. My sister can never know the things I plan to do to her best friend. (previously published as Between the Lines)
Encyclopedia of Caves and Karst Science
The Encyclopedia of Caves and Karst Science contains 350 alphabetically arranged entries. The topics include cave and karst geoscience, cave archaeology and human use of caves, art in caves, hydrology and groundwater, cave and karst history, and conservation and management. The Encyclopedia is extensively illustrated with photographs, maps, diagrams, and tables, and has thematic content lists and a comprehensive index to facilitate searching and browsing.
Caves and Karst of the Upper Midwest, USA
This book discusses the karst and pseudokarst of the Upper Midwest, USA, consisting of the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois—the first regional synthesis in 40 years. Starting with an overview of the regional geology of what is largely glaciated fluviokarst and paleokarst developed on Paleozoic carbonates, but including other lithologies such as the St. Peter Sandstone and the Ft. Dodge Gypsum, the caves, springs, sinkholes, and karst hydrogeology of each state are described. Special attention is devoted to the region’s longest caves: Coldwater Cave, Mystery Cave, and the Minnesota Cave Preserve caves. Application of tools such as data loggers and LiDAR, with new concept...
Out of the Frying Pan
When a popular chef who has just been selected as the new president of the Friends of the Farm is found murdered in her kitchen, health inspector Poppy Markham begins her own investigation to find the killer.
If You Can't Stand the Heat
Poppy Markham practically grew up at the family restaurant in Austin, Texas, and, until recently, worked as a sous chef under her surly stepsister, Ursula. Poppy's not sure if her dad will ever forgive her for leaving the family business to become a public health inspector-the most reviled figure in the restaurant industry-but when he asks her back into the kitchen to help out during the restaurant's grand re-opening, she can't refuse. Chaos ensues when the guest of honor, Michelin-rated chef Évariste Bontecou, is found stabbed to death with Ursula's knife. Sacrebleu! Sorting through everyone who had it in for the hot-headed, philandering French chef is worse than deboning a Coho salmon. Could it be the bad-boy sous chef eyeing his chance at the top or the conniving waitress rumored to be Évariste's paramour du jour? The closer Poppy gets to solving the mystery, the hotter things get. And as everyone knows: if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
