Can the answer to a simple science question change your life? For Garson Strangewalker, yes. In this second book in the Legend Keepers series, twelve-year-old Garson doesn't fit in a school. He's in a new community, hasn't made friends, and his father has gone missing. Each day's a struggle until a simple question he asks at the spring science fair sparks an interest in glaciers. He reads about them but can't get enough. For his sixth-grade science project, Garson climbs to the Shining Mountain Glacier in the wilderness not far from his home. His chance encounter with Buddy, a remarkable kid mountain goat, changes everything as these two kids' lives become entwined. Their shared alarm over the Great Warming's threat to the glacier, and to Buddy's mountaintop home, transforms an insecure boy into a tenacious environmental advocate. Sometimes it takes a partnership to bring out the best in us.

Lucifer has taken it upon himself to use his freewill and go to the next level, this time to take over the gates of heaven and make sure to show who will be permitted in to be judged, then to see who will be sent on to wait for their judgement as St. Peter will have to fight to make sure all is maintained in the book of souls. As Lucifer sends those who will take over as to not have much of a fight as they feel Edward and Lisa have their lives and a child. The two have no idea what this has to do with them. They will soon find out as Lucifer's crew sends Edward and Lisa's world into a spin with a child to be born. It all comes down as to how Bruce, who knows Lisa, will somehow find himself helpless when the final moments do not work in his favor.

An inside look at working with the majestic elk-and the controversies surrounding their conservation.

Bruce L. R. Smith makes sense of the break between science and government and identifies the patterns on postwar science affairs. He explains that what might otherwise seem to be a miscellaneous set of separate episodes actually constituted a continuing debate of national importance that was closely linked to broad political and economic trends.

From Tuscaloosa west to Mississippi then north to Memphis through country as unmusical as I was unloved by the decorous ardor of the South and the voice of one whose griefs were Cherokee, absentee, left in the Chevy and secret. She didn't love my love like Shiva's everywhere and blue and many-handed, some with knives and some with billet-doux.
