Robert Campbell, a respected and beloved high school English teacher, is leading a quiet life in early retirement when a neighbor notices several newspapers lying on his front porch, untouched. He searches the house and finds nothing disturbed-except that Campbell isn't there, and clearly hasn't been for a while. With public concern growing, police launch an investigation, and after weeks of trying, turn up nothing: no suggestions of foul play; no encouraging leads; no clues at all. His friends are worried, rumors are multiplying, the town is becoming traumatized, and tensions are reaching the breaking point. Something has to give. In this fifth Lew Travis mystery, the seventy-two-year-old curmudgeon is faced with this dire situation, set in his old gold-rush town in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Thirty Dollars a Day, One Day a Month is an anecdotal history of the Civilian Conservation Corps as told through by CCC men in their own words or through their recollections as provided by their family members. In addition it contains notations of the service of other men without elaboration, either by the CCC member himself or by his family.The Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, was a New Deal program that provided work for three million forced into unemployment by the Great Depression. During its existence from 1933 to 1942, the CCC men fought pestilence, forest fires and soil erosion in addition to opening our national and state parks to the public. It is hoped that through these pages the reader will learn what it was like to live in that time, to find hope and in the CCCs, to work in its camps, live in its barracks, make friends in its ranks, and feel a pride in its accomplishments. Volume II contains the information of men with last names beginning with the letters G to P.
Ce livre est le fruit d'une synthèse de plusieurs années d'enseignement et de recherche en exégèse et herméneutique bibliques. Il intègre, outre les données des cours dispensés au Cameroun et ailleurs, des éléments issus d'articles scientifiques préparés à diverses occasions, publiés ou en cours de publication. Cela lui confère consistance et densité, mais l'affecte aussi d'une organisation spontanée et d'un style moyen afin de permettre une lecture plus facile et d'en rendre le contenu digeste pour des lecteurs peu ou pas spécialisés. Comme manuel pratique, ce document est conçu de façon à faire accompagner, autant que possible, les éléments théoriques d'exercices pratiques d'application sur des textes choisis à cet effet. Il doit ainsi pouvoir accompagner l'étudiant en théologie dans son apprentissage aussi bien que le lecteur ordinaire dans sa lecture et sa méditation de la Bible et le prédicateur dans la préparation de son sermon.

They call him The Buffalo Kid because he's been on the streets since the day he crashed and burned over thirty years ago when he lost his family and his career. On a cold wintery night, with hunger pangs stabbing at him, John Ross happens on a stranger who gives him a $50 bill. Curious why the man gave him so much money, he follows the man and soon discovers that the stranger is from another world and has come to study our world. The alien visitor decides to partner with The Buffalo Kid and includes him in his mission to test us to see if we are ready for the technology they have to offer our culture. The bond they form and the thrill ride which John Ross finds himself on, sends him along a road filled with surprises, corruption and crime - and in the end, the greatest surprise of all - proving that no dream is too great. A heartwarming thrill ride.
In the dead of night, while Los Angeles sleeps, a solar flare sparks outward from the sun and streaks toward the earth. As the solar phenomenon sweeps over the city it creates a rift in the quantum time-stream, leaving a bizarre trail of events in its wake. An elderly woman steps into her kitchen and is shocked to find her cat, which had died years before, now staring at her. A man enters his garage only to find a piece of his favorite car which was junked some thirty years before. And in the Westwood Memorial Park Cemetery, the most bizarre event of all unwinds, as a crypt suddenly shakes and rattles and pops open - and from it emerges a blond, wearing the very lime-green Pucci dress she had been buried in. Just as beautiful as the very day she had died in 1962, Marilyn emerges from her grave. Stunned and confused, she soon comes to realize that by some force of nature she is alive and the story which unravels as she pursues her new life, and the truth which she reveals about her death, becomes a thriller to the end.
