Summary

New York Times best-selling author Leland Gregory is definitely messing with Texas in his book Stupid Texas.This time, Leland--who has so entertainingly highlighted humanity's stupidity in the areas of crime, business, love, politics, cruelty, and history--collects evidence to prove the widespread belief that deep in the heart of Texans lies an extraordinary capacity for absurdity. Culled from print, online, and broadcast media, Stupid Texas is an uproarious collection of true stories, trivia, and factoids about the Lone Star State, such as:* "In 1875, James Stephen Hogg, the first native-born Texan to become the state's governor, named his daughter--Ima."* In 1984, a Texas District Court judge sentenced a 31-year-old Houston man to 35 years in prison--for stealing a 12-ounce, $2 can of Spam."Ridiculous, outrageous, bizarre, and comical, Stupid Texas is ideal for both kinds of people--those who love Texas and those who hate it.

    Scotland's Islands - A Special...

    This is not a guide to the islands of Scotland. This is not a tour to be followed, nor is it travel advice. This is a richly anecdotal and personal exploration. Richard Clubley shares the sense of freedom he finds in the Scottish islands as he discovers their individual character, beauty and diversity. He meets locals and learns a few realities of island life. He almost perished on Ailsa Craig, before finding fresh water dripping from the roof of a cave, but spends two idyllic nights alone on Mingulay, with a fabulous coal fire in a bothy. His passion for Scottish islands shines through every chapter. Curl up by the fire, pull the blanket close and sip on your dram. You're about to escape to the islands. Prepare for addiction. A book for islomanes to savour in sips. Night caps are suggested; that way the addiction can be controlled. MAIRI HEDDERWICK

    Best of British Tractors is a celebration of the pioneers and innovators of British farming machinery whose names have become synonymous with our most famous tractors: David Brown, Ferguson, Leyland, Marshall and Nuffield.
This colourful ebook charts the history of these British companies and the machines they have produced, tractors that are loved the world over for their quality and longevity.
Author Liam McCann profiles the greatest models from the likes of Allis-Chalmers, Ivel, JCB, Muir-Hill, Bristol and Saunderson. Each entry includes a brief history of each tractor and a box with all their specifications, helping us to understand what makes them so special.
Most of all, this affectionate tribute shows how these tractors have changed the landscape of British farming and become part of the fabric of country life.

Yosemite National Park is spanning across the eastern portions of Tuolumne, Mariposa and Madera and counties in the central eastern portion of the U.S. state of California. It also reaches across the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain chain. This collection is dedicated to one of Muir's favorite places ever, Yosemite National Park.
