It is another exciting Mary Eliska Girl Detective whodunnit, with less romance than usual. The plot is that a couple had a room in which all walls and items are white. One day when they were away, a police officer walks in front of their house, he listens to a beautiful song. After some events, the officer enters the house and a lady wearing black is found dead in the white room. There are a lot of characters, about 15 suspects, and the plot twists many times "Eleven o'clock and a windy night!" might have been the cry of medieval watchmen at that hour on the 24th of July. Constable Mulligan was more reticent, as it formed no part of his duties to intimate publicly the time or the state of the weather. Nevertheless, the bells of the Anglican Church, Troy, London, S.W., chimed the hour through the clamor of a high wind; and those people who were not in bed must have decided to retire. Not that anyone appeared to be stirring. The lights were extinguished in all windows within the range of Mulligan's vision, and the flashing of his lantern on the doors and gates in Achilles Avenue showed that they were discreetly closed. Not even a tramp or a cat enlivened the roadway. Mulligan was apparently the sole waking person in a sleeping world. Few readers will anticipate the ending of the story.

Tearful, trembling, and moaning declarations of Ante "Vlah" Starcevic's secular martyrdom and sainthood are primarily a 20th-century phenomenon.Greatest Croat, Greatest Croat Thinker, Croatia's Aristotle, Father of the Fatherland, Hitler before Hitler, and other glorious titles place Starcevic alone at the top of Croatia's national pantheon.CROATIA 5 book attempts to reconcile Starcevic's martyrdom and sainthood with highly credible 19th-century Croat sources that tell a different story.More Croat contemporaries than not, including patrons, friends, associates, and followers, consider Starcevic an eccentric, repulsive, evil, divisive, destructive, and dangerous illiterate creep.CROATIA 5 also presents solid evidence that 1) Starcevic is less a Croat patriot and more a willing and compliant agent of Hungary's policies as scripted by Ban Levin Roach, and 2) teammate Eugen Quadroni Kvaternik is a looney-tubes political scoundrel of the lowest order.PurposeThis book does not pretend to be anything other than it is: an altogether preliminary attempt to identify the basic ethnic, genetic, educational, social, political, psychological, lifestyle, and situational factors that influence and shape Ante Vlah Starcevic's fundamental social and political ideas.
We know by the calendar when spring officially begins, but how does nature tell us spring has come? In Heralds of Spring in Texas Roland H. Wauer walks us through Texas, from the Rio Grande to the Panhandle, as spring arrives.In addition to offering us his own special memories of spring in Texas, Wauer brings together the thoughts of other Texas naturalists, professional and avocational, and details and background information about the particular herald being considered. Each chapter is also illustrated with a beautiful pen-and-ink drawing by Ralph Scott. Harbingers of spring explore birds, trees, flowers, mammals, and even the night sky.For many along the Gulf Coast, the arrival of the first purple martin signifies the season. As Petra Hockey of Port O'Connor says, "e;I run outside to welcome them, and they seem just as happy to be back as I am to have them. Now spring has arrived."e; In the Trans-Pecos, two welcome signs of spring are the blooming of the Big Bend bluebonnets and the arrival of Cassin's kingbirds in the Davis Mountains. But for Mark Adams of the McDonald Observatory, "e;as the Earth swings closer to spring,... Pegasus, the Winged Horse, emerges from the solar glare into the predawn sky...My spring herald."e;For many in Central Texas, spring has come when the Mexican buckeyes and redbuds begin flowering and the golden-cheeked warbler arrives. But for Burr Williams, in the Panhandle and Western Plains, "e;spring is best expressed by the myriad of invertebrate tracks that he finds on the sand dunes at Monahans State Park."e;Anyone who loves outdoor Texas will relish this delightful celebration of spring.

The Golden Crescent of South Texas, a fifteen-county region along the central Gulf Coast, is often called "e;the Crossroads"e; because of its natural diversity. Located in the heart of the coastal prairies and marshes, the area also encompasses the edges of the South Texas Plains, Post Oak Savannah, and Blackland Prairie. This confluence of ecological zones makes it a wonderful place for birding and for observing the changing face of nature, especially during seasonal transitions.In this book, Roland Wauer describes a typical year in the natural life of South Texas. Using selected entries from his weekly column in the Victoria Avalanche newspaper, he discusses numerous topics for each month, from the first appearance of butterflies in January, to alligators in July, to Christmas Bird Counts in December. His observations are filled with intriguing natural history lore, from what sounds mockingbirds will imitate (almost any noise in their neighborhood) to how armadillos swim (by inflating themselves to increase their buoyancy).

The book is designed to help the readers identify areas of their lives that need changing.

Life is supposed to be FUN! Have fun with your life! Start laughing at all the little gifts that are sent your way.J.M. Jones enjoyed every moment that was used in connecting thoughts and ideas, finding relevant quotations, and Bible scripture. Her belief that each person creates their own life by the thoughts they think, has completely impacted the message of embracing the law of attraction. Since her own life has changed and has been greatly impacted by being conscious of her thoughts, it was only natural for her, a teacher, to want to share it. Part of the change includes finding daily small things to bring joy. The attitude of daily gratitude keeps the sun shining. J.M. Jones is surrounded by natural opportunities to embrace all that is beautiful in the lakes, mountains, and people, and embracing nature, honesty, and goodness, because Life is meant to be fun!
This historical novel spans the reigns of the Roman Caesars Tiberius through Nero. It tells the story of the fledgling early church and how they were impacted by Roman law and rule. The apostle Paul traveled extensively throughout that world, visiting metropolitan cities, fearlessly taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ straight into the heart of pagan worship. He suffered hunger, stoning, prison, flogging, beating, being shipwrecked three times, and being in constant danger of bandits. Yet throughout all of these reverses, he courageously and fearlessly defended his message and his God-given calling. Interwoven throughout the pages of this story are two Roman soldiers, Marcos and Gaius, who walk the Jerusalem wall, observing from their Roman viewpoint all that is going on in the Jewish world. They observe the persecutions led by Saul and, later, the puzzling change in his life. Eventually, because of the impact a changed Paul has upon their lives, they come to know his Christ. This very real and human Paul, along with the electrifying, heart-stopping world in which he and the early church lived, is sure to keep the reader on edge, wondering what can happen next. Paul and this early church were willing to give everything, including their lives, for the truth of the good news that Christ had come to set up his kingdom in the heart of man.

A kid's memories of war and postwar I wrote this book on June 6, 2019, 75 years after D-day, the greatest invasion the world has ever seen. Seven thousand ships, 150.000 troops, 4,000 American and British deaths on the very first day! The courage of the men, who jumped from the landing ships into the sea, sometimes drowning with their heavy equipment, and stormed the beaches under heavy fire from machine guns, rifles, and artillery salvos, is unimaginable. I can't stop thinking about it today with a sense of awe and gratefulness
