Texas Oil and Gas documents in postcards the rapid growth of the Texas petroleum industry from its beginnings near Corsicana in the 1890s through the next several decades of oil booms throughout the state. The young 20th century opened with the Lucas Gusher at Spindletop in 1901. Thousands rushed from the oilfields of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia to find work and riches. Continued drilling success along the Texas Gulf Coast transformed Houston into a major city and the Beaumont area into a major petrochemical center. Through the 1910s and 1920s, oil booms occurred in North Texas, the Panhandle, Central Texas, and West Texas. The giant East Texas oilfield, the second largest North American oilfield to Alaska's North Slope, was discovered in 1930. Texas oil replaced coal as fuel for the nation's railroads and provided fuel for our military in two world wars.

Forty-five years before the drilling of the famous 1859 Colonel Drake oil well in Pennsylvania, oil was produced and marketed from salt brine wells dug in southeast Ohio. The oil was bottled and sold as a cure-all medicine, Seneca Oil. In 1860, one of the first oil fields in Ohio was discovered approximately 10 miles southeast of these wells. The 1885 discovery of the giant Lima-Indiana oil field set off the oil boom of northwest Ohio, a period of land speculation and rapid oil field development that lasted over 20 years and propelled Ohio into the leading oil-producing state from 1895 to 1903. John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil of Cleveland built storage tanks, pipelines, and a refinery near Lima. The Ohio Oil Company, now Marathon Oil, was active in the area and still maintains an office in Findlay. The Bremen oil field was discovered in south-central Ohio in 1907, setting off another oil boom, which included drilling within the city limits.

Use these system-of-care concepts to better serve children with serious emotional problems and their families Providing services to children with emotional problems and their families continues to be a major challenge for social workers, family therapists, child mental health advocates, and psychologists in the new century. This valuable book addresses that challenge, detailing theory, principles, and application issues from the vantage points of both consumers and service providers. System-of-care values and practices were developed to address these concerns and meet the needs of these children and families, who tend to receive either no services at all or services that are far too restrictive, at a large cost to the organization providing the services.Child Mental Health: Exploring Systems of Care in the New Millennium identifies salient issues and offers suggestions for addressing the complexities of providing services for these troubled families. It also provides hope and encouragement for family members and professionals by identifying roles and practices that are effective in building collaborative community-based services.This book takes an incisive look at: the benefits and difficulties of partnering between practitioners and families the need for and benefits of partnering between practitioners of various disciplines within the system of care a working model of a wraparound process (the hallmark of the system of care) barriers that prevent effective wraparound services and what causes them the need to help social workers learn parent partnering skills the roles that families can play in the system of care the need for specialized training so that practitioners can learn to assess, understand, and integrate a family's spiritual beliefs into the system of care the development of an interdisciplinary, collaborative practice course at East Carolina University experiential training and shared-classroom experiences for studentsChild Mental Health: Exploring Systems of Care in the New Millennium is a tool that will aid practitioners and consumers alike as they shift their point of view from the provider-as-expert paradigm to one of building partnerships.

Words matter in terrorism research. Not only do they describe reality, but they actively take part in the construction of the world as we see, talk, hear, imagine and ultimately react to it. "The Tabloid Terrorist" introduces a constructivist approach to the study of terrorism by examining the discursive constitution of the terrorist in tabloid newspapers. It shows how language in the media affects our perceptions of "terrorists" and how particular constructions of the "terrorist" automatically make certain counter-terrorism policies possible, logical and seemingly appropriate.

This volume is an engaging and provocative collection of essays on contemporary feminist biblical studies. Drawing upon their own social, cultural, and religious backgrounds and experiences, contributors read the New Testament as feminists, placing it in the context of globalization. These biblical interpretations cast gender, race, class, and power relationships as issues inherent in both the content and context of scripture. Calling into question feminist social engagement that does not extend beyond academic halls, churches, and Christians, Feminist New Testament Studies offers new directions for future research and teaching in feminist biblical studies.

Interest in morphology has undergone rapid growth over the past two decades and the area is now seen as crucially important, both in relation to other aspects of grammar and in relation to other disciplines. "The Handbook of Morphology" brings together articles by authors at the forefront of this research effort. The chapters deal with traditional issues such as inflection, derivation, compounding, productivity, and various aspects of the interface question, the relationship between morphology and phonology, syntax, and semantics. Other chapters offer briefer discussions of specific questions that have more recently become the focus of attention. A further set of chapters explores the role of morphology in a wider perspective: language change, psycholinguistics, and language acquisition.

The "Handbook" concludes with a set of morphological sketches of a typologically and genetically diverse set of languages, each illustrating one or more particularly interesting morphological traits.

This book introduces a constructivist approach to the study of terrorism and shows how language in the media affects our perceptions of 'terrorists' and how particular constructions of 'terrorist' automatically make certain counter-terrorism policies possible, logical and seemingly appropriate.

It started when four scruffy Civil War re-enactors walk into a bar in Gettysburg, get into a fight with a local patron, then run outside and disappear. The police suspect the eye witnesses drank too much until one of them sees the men later that night and watches them disappear. A full scale investigation starts and soon instead of four soldiers there are thousands. Are they ghosts? Lost Souls? No one really knows. What they do know is that they're not ordinary ghosts because the bullets from their guns are real - and kill. This is a story about how a small community deals with an army of lost souls from the Civil War who are trying to find peace with each other as well as God. They are in search of forgiveness and a final blessing so that their souls are freed to rest in peace until they are called home. It's also about how love can blossom anywhere and how our friends and family are truly one of the most valuable things in our lives.

What is the perfect recipe for untold disaster? Add together the deplorable state of governance in the Developing World, the notoriously recurrent wars, the uncontrolled population increases (especially in countries whose economies are so rickety they cannot absorb the bombardment by humanity), and the inescapable natural calamities (volcanic eruptions, earth tremors, floods). This all sets the stage to beckon the most unscrupulous child trafficker who taps into this free "resource" the unprotected child and other vulnerable members of society. The innocent are exposed to all kinds of abuse through no fault of their own. A new dimension is taking shape in Africa and the continent is urbanizing abnormally fast. Cities are stunned frozen, unable to provide shelter, food, and other life necessities, leaving the weakest and the vulnerable homeless. This becomes the pool from which terrorists obtain potential assassins; body-part hunters obtain "free" human spare parts; and sex slavers join the melee. See all the chaos abound in Twisted Gift. The story travels from the jungles of Africa to Brazil; to Indonesia, India, Nepal, Lesotho and South Africa; to China, Belgium, Scotland, Germany, and finally to space, only to end up back on Earth with a BANG. An author of twelve books, Kenyi A. Spencer is a consultant for the World Bank in South Sudan and writes articles on economic matters for local newspapers and magazines.

Spencer, this book offers hair-brained fun for the whole gang. Who hasn't wanted to snip, snip, snip a stray wisp or two on a particularly bad hair day? The fact is Becky's mane issue has been bugging her all day. She can't do a thing with her hair. Her locks are loopy and wild; all she wants to do is tie them back and keep them out of her face. She'd use a paperclip or a hairnet if she could and, quite frankly, this isn't the first time her unruly curls have set her back. So the following day, she makes a plan, which seems like a really, really good idea at the time, but all too soon proves to be a short, short, shortsighted strategy.

Divorce broke his heart, abuse crushed his spirit, and betrayal shattered his life. Before he was five years old, Cody experienced physical, verbal and sexual abuse. He would witness his mother's sexual immorality and drug abuse, and then she would be removed from his life. Her choices would adversely affect his young life and would send him into a pattern of fear, hopelessness, rebellion, and rage that would take him into a world of darkness he could not escape. His behavior was easily interpreted as malicious and devious, but those were just symptoms of a wounded spirit, a crushed heart, and a lonely little boy who desperately longed to be loved, but was terrified to be loved. God's love would be poured out on Cody in an attempt to reach behind the wall that had been built around his broken heart. Years of destructive tendencies, despair, and fear would be ever so slowly penetrated, and a young man would begin to appear. Come walk through a five-year attempt to change a heart and redeem a soul. Step into a spiritual battle for a life. In a world that trivializes God, come experience His presence as He equips a family to put on the full armor of God and to step into life the way God meant it to be.
