Someone, or some thing, has invaded the sleepy little town of
Garing Cross, and young Jesse Jean Montgomery finds herself facing
this ancient curse alone. And despite her considerable IQ, she's
not equipped to handle what's coming down main street in the
darkness. Garing Cross is a story about a girl growing up, a girl
who doesn't fit in, a girl who is misunderstood and left alone,
facing trials that leave the adults around her paralyzed. She's a
loner and yet she longs to be part of something greater - she seeks
her tribe, her people. It's about family and ancient curses and
unspoken history, about separation and trials and coming home.
In one of the harshest environments imaginable,Joe Cooke coaches,
supports, and inspires men to become more than just the stories of
their past. Inside Job tells of how Cooke rose from homelessness to
a life of service as a teacher inside the walls of the Washington
State Penitentiary. With an unyielding belief in the value of every
human being, Cooke counsels his students that they already possess
everything they need to make it on the outside. His basic
philosophy is clear and simple: The work of becoming better
communicators, better entrepreneurs, better citizens, better
fathers, sons, and husbands is all done inside the mind. In this
memoir of a single weekend of self-reflection, Cooke illustrates in
his unique voice that teaching, like learning, is an inside job.
The Chattahoochee River is one of the premier waterways of Georgia
and the Southeast. It is a mecca for summer recreation, a priceless
natural resource that provides water and power for a great number
of Georgia's citizens, and an essential component to the region's
ecosystem. As public interest in both exploring and protecting
Georgia's rivers such as the Chattahoochee grows, so too has the
demand for clear and elegant guides to our rivers. The

guides from Georgia River Network and the University of Georgia
Press--aims to meet that demand.The Chattahoochee River User's

at a spring on Coon Den Ridge near Jacks Knob in northeastern
Georgia to its confluence with the Flint River, where they form the
Apalachicola River.The Georgia River Network guides provide many
little-known facts about Georgia's rivers, bring to life the
river's cultural and natural history, and present river issues in
an immersive and engaging manner that will inspire users to help
protect their local waterways.The guide includes
- 200 color photographs
- 32 user-friendly maps that reveal the towns, roads, entry points,
bridges, public lands, parks, and other landmarks along the
river's course from the southern Blue Ridge Mountains to the
Georgia-Florida border
