Book excerpt: "The Bestselling Hardcover Novel of the Year."--Publishers Weekly From the number-one bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes a powerful American epic about love and heroism and hope, set during the Great Depression, a time when the country was in crisis and at war with itself, when millions were out of work and even the land seemed to have turned against them. “My land tells its story if you listen. The story of our family.” Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation in ruin, there is only one respectable choice: marriage to a man she barely knows. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as crops fail and water dries up and the earth cracks open. Dust storms roll relentlessly across the plains. Everything on the Martinelli farm is dying, including Elsa’s tenuous marriage; each day is a desperate battle against nature and a fight to keep her children alive. In this uncertain and perilous time, Elsa—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family. The Four Winds is a rich, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the Great Depression and the people who lived through it—the harsh realities that divided us as a nation and the enduring battle between the haves and the have-nots. A testament to hope, resilience, and the strength of the human spirit to survive adversity, The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.

Book excerpt: By all rights, insight, knowledge, and plain old common sense I should be dead. If past usage of beer, marijuana, and cocaine didnÆt do the trick, then certainly dilated cardiomyopathy should have. Instead, I am alive, clean and sober, and a functioning Catholic priest after finally overcoming addiction. For fifteen years I functioned as a sober priest before my heart gave out from the same heart disease that killed my father. Another miracle came my way, and I was blessed to receive a new heart. I could my blessings every day, every hour, every minute. How many of us have received a second, third, and fourth chance at life? IÆve been granted the blessing of faith, sobriety, a new heart, and a fulfilling ministry... much more than I deserve. This is my testimony to what can happen when a confused and bitter young man opens his life and spirit, and allows God and GodÆs people to do for him what he simply could not do for himself.

Download or read book So You Think You Know Texas Wines, 2019 Edition written by Marques Vickers and published by Marquis Publishing. This book was released on with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “So You Think You Know Texas Wines” is designed to simplify your understanding by identifying growing trends, grape descriptions, and future direction of the Texas wine industry. This book concisely profiles each of the state’s leading growing regions and prominent grapes based on the most recent available harvest data from 2017. The edition also includes comparison with the California, Washington and Oregon wine regions. The 2019 edition is ideal for wine collectors, winemakers and anyone who appreciates a Texan grown vintage. The following facts are from hundreds of little known essentials included in the book: 1. Texas harvested 11.7 thousand tons during the 2017 harvest. California harvested over 4 million tons and Washington 227 thousand tons during the 2017 harvest. Oregon harvested 79.8 thousand tons during the 2016 harvest. 2. Texas’ wine grape harvest is 14.7% of Oregon’s, 5.2% of Washington’s and .03% of California’s annual harvest. Washington’s harvest is only 5.6% and Oregon’s 2% of California’s overall production. Oregon’s production is 35.1% of Washington’s. 3. California has 3,670+, Washington 940+, Oregon 725+, and Texas approximately 200+ wineries. California has seventeen, Washington fourteen, while Oregon and Texas have designated five growing regions. 4. Texas has eight designated AVAs (American Viticultural Areas) including Bell Mountain, Escondido Valley, Fredericksburg, Mesilla, Texas Davis Mountains, Texas High Plains, Texas Hill Country and Texoma. 5. Cabernet Sauvignon is Texas’ most popular but only fourteenth highest priced wine grape. It is California’s second most popular and second highest priced red wine grape. It is Washington’s most popular and sixth highest priced and Oregon’s sixth most popular and highest priced wine grape. 6. Tempranillo is Texas’ second most popular and seventh highest priced wine grape averaging $1730 per ton. It is California’s thirteenth and Oregon’s fourth most popular red wine grape. 7. The High Plains and Panhandle growing region is the largest Texas production center harvesting 67% of the state’s grapes. 8. During 2017, Texas’ state total production ratio was 67% red wine grapes and 33% white wine grapes. Total Bearable acreage is 70% red wine and 30% white wine grapes. 9. Between 2015 and 2017, production of the Muscat Canelli grape dropped 52.2% and 62% in the High Plains and Panhandle growing region. The grape in 2015 was Texas’ largest produced varietal. 10. Based on 2017 non-bearing acreage figures, the six most likely statewide grapes to increase in production are Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Blanc du Bois, Black Spanish (Lenoir), Merlot and Mourvèdre. Non-bearing acreage represents planted vineyards whose young grapes have not been included into production statistics. They may also reflect damaged and destroyed vineyards that did not add to the production totals. 11. Production of Mourvèdre jumped 445% in the High Plains and Panhandle growing region between 2015 and 2017 making it the second largest grape tied with Merlot. The grape is now the fourth largest produced in the state. 12. Viognier dropped from the second largest production grape in the High Plains and Panhandle growing region during 2015 to fourth in the region based on a production decrease of 40.3%. 13. Merlot’s reduced production of 45.5% between 2015 and 2017 in the Hill County region dropped it from the largest produced grape to third place. 14. The Hill Country growing region, the state’s second largest, suffered a 37.1% decline in production between 2015 and 2017. The decline was attributed to a severe rainy season culminating in extensive vine destroying rot and mildew. 15. Blanc du Bois and Black Spanish grapes are the dominant grapes produced in the Southeast Texas and Gulf Coast growing region comprising 74.7% of production. Combined in 2017, they represent 54.8% of statewide production in those grapes.

This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Locally or individually, STEM programs provide additional opportunities to engage K-12 students, including those from marginalized groups, with the support of STEM outreach organizations through the co-construction and implementation of STEM activities during school, out of school, at home, and in the community. Research suggests that community-engaged partnerships forge relationships that can enhance and sustain K-12 STEM education efforts between K-12 districts and the scholarly community. There is a need to highlight community-engaged teaching and scholarship produced from partnerships between K-12 school districts and STEM outreach organizations. Developing and Sustaining STEM Programs Across the K-12 Education Landscape describes the purpose of the collaboration between K-12 school districts and STEM outreach organizations, the STEM activities that participating K-12 students engage in, and the impacts on STEM learners that emerge from the partnership. Covering topics such as continuous program improvement, school-industry partnerships, and student success, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for educational leaders and administrators, pre-service and in-service educators, teacher educators, researchers, and academicians.
