The perfect gift for "Longmire" fans: A boxed set of the first four
mysteries in the bestselling Longmire Mystery series
With the hit A&E television series "Longmire" capturing
millions of viewers and Craig Johnson's last two novels hitting the
"New York Times" bestseller list in hardcover, Walt Longmire is a
name on everyone's lips and has earned his star.
For fans of the show and newcomers to the novels, we now offer the
first four books in the series in one boxed set, giving "Longmire"
devotees a chance to catch up on the world of their favorite
small-town sheriff before the second season of the show begins next
year.
Walt Longmire faces one of his most challenging crime scenes as he
tries to reckon with the revelations of his last case where he
confronted the ghosts of his past and questioned the very nature of
justice and mercy in the hard country of the West. Deep in the
heart of the Wyoming countryside, Sheriff of Absaroka County, Walt
Longmire, is called to a crime scene like few others that he has
seen. This crime brings up issues that go back to Walt's
grandfather's time in Wyoming, as the revelations he learns about
his grandfather come back to offer clues and motives for Walt's
investigation. Filled with back-country action, and with the great
cast of characters that readers have come to love with the Longmire
series, this new book will be sure to satisfy both long-time
readers and those new to the series.
Echinoderms are an ancient and diverse group of marine animals with
a rich fossil record. They occur abundantly in all modern oceans
and at all depths, where they contribute importantly to patterns in
biodiversity and to the structure and functioning of marine
systems. It is therefore vital to understand how they will respond
to a rapidly changing ocean climate and other anthropogenic
stressors, informed by both the dynamics of the fossil record and
responses of extant species. The theme of the 13th International
Echinoderm Conference (Hobart, Tasmania, 5-9 January 2009) was the
response of echinoderms to global change. Echinoderms in a Changing
World contains a selection of plenary and contributed papers, and a
comprehensive presentation of abstracts of all oral papers and
posters. The collection will be useful to all students of
echinoderm biology, ecology and palaeontology, from undergraduate
level to professional researchers.
Scholars have become increasingly concerned about the impact of
neo-liberalism on the field of development. Governments around the
world have for some time been exposed to the forces of
globalization and macro-economic reform, reflecting the power and
influence of the world's principal international economic
institutions and a broader commitment to the principles of
neo-classical economics and free trade. Concerns have also been
raised that neo-classical theory now dominates the ways in which
scholars frame and ask their questions in the field of development.
This book is about the ways in which ideologies shape the
construction of knowledge for development. A central theme concerns
the impact of neo-liberalism on contemporary development theory and
research. The book's main objectives are twofold. One is to
understand the ways in which neo-liberalism has framed and defined
the 'meta-theoretical' aims and assumptions of what is deemed
relevant, important and appropriate to the study of development. A
second is to explore the theoretical and ideological terms on which
an alternative to neo-classical theory may be theorized, idealized
and pursued. By tracing the impact of Marxism, postmodernism and
liberalism on the study of development, Arresting Development
contends that development has become increasingly fragmented in
terms of the theories and methodologies it uses to understand and
explain complex and contextually-specific processes of economic
development and social change. Outside of neo-classical economics
(and related fields of rational choice), the notion that social
science can or should aim to develop general and predictive
theories about development has become mired in a philosophical and
political orientation that questions the ability of scholars to
make universal or comparative statements about the nature of
history, cultural diversity and progress. To advance the debate, a
case is made that development needs to re-capture what the American
sociologist Peter Evans once called the 'comparative institutional
method.' At the heart of this approach is an inductive methodology
that searches for commonalities and connections to broader
historical trends and problems while at the same time incorporating
divergent and potentially competing views about the nature of
history, culture and development. This book will be of interest to
scholars and students of Development, Social and Political Studies
and it will also be beneficial to professionals interested in the
challenge of constructing "knowledge for development."
Drawing upon a variety of empirical and theoretical perspectives,
The Urban Climate Challenge provides a hands-on perspective about
the political and technical challenges now facing cities and
transnational urban networks in the global climate regime. Bringing
together experts working in the fields of global environmental
governance, urban sustainability and climate change, this volume
explores the ways in which cities, transnational urban networks and
global policy institutions are repositioning themselves in relation
to this changing global policy environment. Focusing on both
Northern and Southern experience across the globe, three questions
that have strong bearing on the ways in which we understand and
assess the changing relationship between cities and global climate
system are examined. How are cities repositioning themselves in
relation to the global climate regime? How are cities being
repositioned - conceptually and epistemologically? What are the
prospects for crafting policies that can reduce the urban carbon
footprint while at the same time building resilience to future
climate change? The Urban Climate Challenge will be of interest to
scholars of urban climate policy, global environmental governance
and climate change. It will be of interest to readers more
generally interested in the ways in which cities are now addressing
the inter-related challenges of sustainable urban growth and global
climate change. Chapter 9 and Chapter 11 of this book is freely

A new novel in the beloved New York Times bestselling Longmire
series. When Lolo Long's niece Jaya begins receiving death threats,
Tribal Police Chief Long calls on Absaroka County Sheriff Walt
Longmire along with Henry Standing Bear as lethal backup. Jaya
"Longshot" Long is the phenom of the Lame Deer Lady Stars High
School basketball team and is following in the steps of her older
sister, who disappeared a year previously, a victim of the scourge
of missing Native Woman in Indian Country. Lolo hopes that having
Longmire involved might draw some public attention to the girl's
plight, but with this maneuver she also inadvertently places the
good sheriff in a one-on-one with the deadliest adversary he has
ever faced in both this world and the next.
Walt doubts a confession of murder in this novel from the New York
Times bestselling author Wade Barsad, a man with a dubious past and
a gift for making enemies, burned his wife Mary's horses in their
barn; in retribution, she shot him in the head six times, or so the
story goes. But Sheriff Walt Longmire doesn't believe Mary's
confession and is determined to dig deeper. Unpinning his star to
pose as an insurance investigator, Walt visits the Barsad ranch and
discovers that everyone in town--including a beautiful Guetemalan
bartender and a rancher with a taste for liquor--had a reason for
wanting Wade dead.
The new novel in Craig Johnson's beloved New York Times bestselling
Longmire series. "It's the scenery-and the big guy standing in
front of the scenery-that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson's
lean and leathery mysteries." -The New York Times Book Review
Recovering from his harrowing experiences in Mexico, Sheriff Walt
Longmire returns to Absaroka County, Wyoming, to lick his wounds
and try once again to maintain justice in a place with grudges that
go back generations. When a shepherd is found dead, Longmire
suspects it could be suicide. But the shepherd's connection to the
Extepares, a powerful family of Basque ranchers with a history of
violence, leads the sheriff into an intricate investigation of a
possible murder. As Walt searches for information about the
shepherd, he comes across strange carvings on trees, as well as
play money coupons from inside Mallo Cup candies, which he
interprets as messages from his spiritual guide, Virgil White
Buffalo. Longmire doesn't know how these little blue cards are
appearing, but Virgil usually reaches out if a child is in danger.
So when a young boy with ties to the Extepare clan arrives in town,
the stakes grow even higher. Even more complicating, a renegade
wolf has been haunting the Bighorn Mountains, and the townspeople
are out for blood. With both a wolf and a killer on the loose,
Longmire follows a twisting trail of evidence, leading to dark and
shocking conclusions.
After years of study in the area of consumer behavior, Mullen and
Johnson bring together a broad survey of small answers to a big
question: "Why do consumers do what they do?" This book provides an
expansive, accessible presentation of current psychological theory
and research as it illuminates fundamental issues regarding the
psychology of consumer behavior. The authors hypothesize that an
improved understanding of consumer behavior could be employed to
more successfully influence consumers' use of products, goods, and
services. At the same time, an improved understanding of consumer
behavior might be used to serve as an advocate for consumers in
their interactions in the marketplace.
The latest novel in the beloved New York Times bestselling Longmire
series finds the sheriff chasing down the whereabouts of an iconic
American painting. One of the most viewed paintings in American
history, Custer's Last Fight, copied and distributed by
Anheuser-Busch at a rate of over two million copies a year, was
destroyed in a fire at the 7th Cavalry Headquarters in Fort Bliss,
Texas, in 1946. Or was it? When Charley Lee Stillwater dies of an
apparent heart attack at the Wyoming Home for Soldiers &
Sailors, Walt Longmire is called in to try and make sense of a
piece of a painting and a Florsheim shoebox containing a million
dollars, sending the good sheriff on the trail of a dangerous art
heist.

The thirteenth Longmire novel from the New York Times bestselling
author of Land of Wolves Sheriff Walt Longmire is enjoying a
celebratory beer after a weapons certification at the Wyoming Law
Enforcement Academy when a younger sheriff confronts him with a
photograph of twenty-five armed men standing in front of a
Challenger steam locomotive. It takes him back to when, fresh from
the battlefields of Vietnam, then-deputy Walt accompanied his
mentor Lucian to the annual Wyoming Sheriff's Association junket
held on the excursion train known as the Western Star, which ran
the length of Wyoming from Cheyenne to Evanston and back. Armed
with his trusty Colt .45 and a paperback of Agatha Christie's
Murder on the Orient Express, the young Walt was ill-prepared for
the machinations of twenty-four veteran sheriffs, let alone the
cavalcade of curious characters that accompanied them. The
photograph-along with an upcoming parole hearing for one of the
most dangerous men Walt has encountered in a lifetime of law
enforcement-hurtles the sheriff into a head-on collision of past
and present, placing him and everyone he cares about squarely on
the tracks of runaway revenge.

With millions of dollars at stake, a number of groups step forward
to claim her, including Danny's family, the tribe, and the federal
government. As Wyoming's Acting Deputy Attorney and a cadre of FBI
officers descend on the town, Walt is determined to find out who
would benefit from Danny's death, enlisting old friends Lucian
Connolly and Omar Rhoades, along with Dog and best friend Henry
Standing Bear, to trawl the vast Lone Elk ranch looking for answers
to a sixty-five-million-year-old cold case that's heating up fast.

A New York Times-bestselling collection of Longmire adventures
Craig Johnson's The Highwayman and An Obvious Fact are now
available from Viking. Ten years ago, Craig Johnson wrote his first
short story, the Hillerman Award-winning "Old Indian Trick." This
was one of the earliest appearances of the sheriff who would go on
to star in Johnson's bestselling, award-winning novels and the hit
television series Longmire, now streaming on Netflix. Each
Christmas Eve thereafter, fans rejoiced when Johnson sent out a new
short story featuring an episode in Walt's life that doesn't appear
in the novels; over the years, many have asked why they can't buy
the stories in book form. Wait for Signs gives Longmire fans a
chance to own these beloved stories-and one that was published for
the first time in the Viking edition-in a single volume. With
glimpses of Walt's past from the incident in "Ministerial Aide,"
when the sheriff is mistaken for a deity, to the hilarious
"Messenger," where the majority of the action takes place in a
Porta-Potty, Wait for Signs is a necessary addition to any Longmire
fan's shelf and a wonderful way to introduce new readers to the
fictional world of Absaroka County, Wyoming.
