A ruthless British industrialist doesn't worry Jessica Starbuck, but the mysterious assasin, the Scorpion, certainly does--especially since the Lone Star duo is next on his list. Jessie and Ki head for Galveston where hot business and the Scorpion's double-death sting combine for one dangerous deal.
An assassin blazes a bloody trail headed straight for Jessie and Ki! Jessica Starbuck, a woman fighting for justice on the American frontier, and Ki, a martial arts expert devoted to her protection, return in an adventure that brings them face to face with a mystery killer named "The Scorpion."
There's more than one kind of Texas native-we share our magnificent state with numerous other species some with four legs or more and some with no legs at all. Naturalist Jim Harris has studied most of them, and in Lone Star Menagerie he shares some little-known facts, fascinating tales, and amusing personal experiences with these creatures that we live alongside.
Jessie and Ki are hunted on a bloody trail of vengeance! The bandit trail was deadly to start with. Add a wagonload of scrawny, greenhorn settlers, and dying was double easy. For outlaw gunslicks, it would be like shooting fish in a shot glass. But the wagon is being stalked by someone out for more than money or blood, and it doesn't much matter who or how many have to die. It's up to Jessie and Ki to keep the wagon rolling on a trail measured not in miles, but in bullets and blood...
Jessie's land is up for grabs, and so is her neck! Finding the Circle Star ranch besieged by a gang of trigger-happy claim jumpers and their leader Pleas Barstow, a bloodthirsty rustler who kills for his own glory, Jessie and Ki plan to retaliate with a Gatling gun.

This book provides an overview, research compendium and an introduction to the science of molecular paleontology, including literature overview for non-geochemists. Analytical methods employed are included as a part of each chapter that underpin this branch of paleontology and indeed geochemistry. The primary usefulness of this volume is for organic geochemists, molecular palaeontologists, and molecular archeologists. Researchers, graduate students and academics interested in astrobiology from a paleontological perspective may also find this to be valuable.
Petrification is a process, but it also can be understood as a concept. This volume takes the first steps to manifest, materialize or “petrify” the concept of “petrification” and turn it into a tool for analyzing material and social processes. The wide array of approaches to petrification as a process assembled here is more of a collection of possibilities than an attempt to establish a firm, law-generating theory. Divided into three parts, this volume’s twenty-plus authors explore petrification both as a theoretical concept and as a contextualized material and social process across geological, prehistoric and historic periods. Topics connecting the various papers are properties of materials, preferences and choices of actors, the temporality of matter, being and becoming, the relationality between actors, matter, things and space (landscape, urban space, built space), and perceptions of the following generations dealing with the petrified matter, practices, and social relations. Contributors to this volume study specifically whether particular processes of petrification are confined to the material world or can be seen as mirroring, following, triggering, or contradicting changes in social life and general world views. Each of the authors explores – for a period or a specific feature – practices and changes that led to increased conformity and regularity. Some authors additionally focus on the methods and scrutinize them and their applications for their potential to create objects of investigation: things, people, periods, in order to raise awareness for these or to shape or “invent” categories. This volume is of interest to archaeologists, geologists, architectural historians, conservationists, and historians.
