Eyes of the Hawk


Book Description

"Eyes of the hawk is a tale of Texan rivalry. Thomas Canfield is a man of substance; a Texan by birth and heritage, he is both decent and hard. Branch Isom is only hard. A newcomer to Stonehill, texas, Isom has earned a fortune carting cotton to Mexican ports during the Civil War. As Isom's wealth and holdings in Stonehill grow, Canfield's suffer. Yet, despite his reversals, Canfield stubbornly holds on to every inch of his hard-won ranch. Antagonists from the first, Canfield and Isom find that their changing fortunes aggravate a long-smoldering enmity. An uneasy truce is maintained until a drunken escapade erupts into gunfire and a man's son is killed"--Page 4 of cover.

The A to Z of Skateboarding

For more than twenty years, Tony Hawks has been mistaken for Tony Hawk, the American skateboarder. Even though it is abundantly clear on his website that he is an English comedian and author, people still write to him asking the best way to do a kickflip or land a melon. One mischievous day he started writing back in a pompous tone, goading his correspondents for their spelling mistakes and poor grammar, while offering bogus or downright silly advice on how to improve their skateboarding. Featuring entries on parents' pain, disappointment, underachievers, Quorn and the Vatican, this is his A to Z guide to the world of skateboarding, as seen through the eyes of someone who knows absolutely nothing about it.
