A collection of fascinating and colorful stories spanning the history of Abilene, Texas.
Although Abilene has long lived in the shadows of the literary limelight, it has not been for a lack of good writing, good writers, and interesting stories. Now coming out of the shadows, ''Abilene Stories: From Then to Now'' offers a community scrapbook, a gathering of the civic congregation where more than a hundred friends have stopped by for a visit. The laughter is heavy and the smiles broad as stories are told and memories jogged.
Pull up a chair next to Katharyn Duff as she shares a few historical chestnuts. Give your attention to Miss Tommie Clack for a ringside seat to the past. Step into the poetry of those who know this place well and a few who just observed it in passing. Appreciate the sharp insight of Pulitzer-nominated Frank Grimes, and listen for the personal element which A.C. Greene wove into nearly all of his writings.
The collection begins with stories from before Abilene was Abilene and proceeds chronologically and topically to the present day with such pieces as ''Let Them Eat Cactus,'' ''A Hanging in Abilene,'' ''Too Much Jazz and Not Enough Jesus,'' ''How Camp Barkeley Shaped Abilene,'' ''Alligator on the Loose,'' ''Howitzer on the Hill,'' ''Circlin' Mack's,'' ''The Crape Myrtle Sex Scandal,'' and ''The Last Day at Harold's.''
If Abilene is your hometown, or ever has been--that place where you feel completely comfortable, where you know the routine and breathe easy, where the sunset is a familiar hue--''Abilene Stories: From Then to Now'' is an invitation to sit down and spend a little time in what A. C. Greene called ''The Village of My Heart.''

"Abilene History in Plain Sight is a guide to the people, places and events that define Abilene. It provides the high vantage point from which you come to know the lives behind the names--Cooper High School, Shotwell Stadium, and Maxwell Golf Course--and to meet those who are honored by the naming of a park or street (such as Egbert Kirby, Nelson Wilson, Vera Minter, and Walter Ely). In this engaging book, the past is picked up, dusted off, and given a new shine. As you learn the story behind that church, school, or college that you drive past, it will create a connection that serves to endear Abilene to you more deeply"--Dust jacket.

Combine wild ingredients and a disregard for the ordinary with a little chemistry in the kitchen, and you get the COOKING FEARLESSLY philosophy—a no-holds-barred approach to cooking that is pure Texas and a helluva good time. At Hudson's on the Bend restaurant outside of Austin, chefs Jeff Blank and Jay Moore preach and practice an adventurous cuisine as big and robust as the Lone Star State. Fish and game reign supreme, both on the grill, in the sauté pan, and out of the iron skillet, and they're finished with sauces, salsas, and glazes that'll electrify your palate and change your worldview. With Jeff and Jay at the helm, you'll sit down to daring dishes like Toasted Piñon-Coriander-Crusted Goat Cheese on Garden Greens; Rattlesnake Cakes in a Pistachio Nut Crust; and Smoked Rainbow Trout with Nopalitos, Smoked Bacon, and Apple Jack Sauce. So stick around—the feast is only just getting started.• Hudson's on the Bend was named one of the "Top 50 Restaurants in America" by Mimi Sheraton of Condé Nast Traveler magazine.• Lavishly illustrated throughout with the work of Saveur photographer Laurie Smith.

Conceptual Foundations of Radical Behaviorism is intended for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in courses within behavior analytic curricula dealing with conceptual foundations and radical behaviorism as a philosophy. Each chapter of the text presents what radical behaviorism says about an important topic in a science of behavior, and then contrasts the radical behaviorist perspective with that of other forms of behaviorism, as well as other forms of psychology.

This brief, 190-page paperback text covers many topics that appear in more traditional psychology courses, but from the standpoint of behavior analysis. For example, among the topics covered are genetics, language, the self, consciousness, cognition, perception, intentions, emotions, ethics, and values. In each chapter, the author introduces the main topic, then compares a traditional approach to the topic with a behavior analytic approach. Also included are logical extensions to ideas and concepts students may have heard about in other psychology courses, but about which students may have thought behavior analysis has nothing to say. Each chapter is self-contained, which allows instructors to rearrange topics to suit their courses. The book can serve as either the main text, perhaps augmented by additional readings, or a supplement, to supply behavior analytic content in an existing course.
