Don't Be Afraid Son.


Book Description

Don't Be Afraid, Son. Gunfighter's Graveyard. If you like an Old Western Horror Gunfighter Novel with over 100,000 words. Then this book would be a good find? It came in a four-book series based on four different town scenarios. Different lawmen and evil gunmen will find one another in a gunfight to the death. Each will wake from a coma, dark deep sleep, or be sent back by the devil that made him raise his gun in the first place against good. A graveyard on the hill in town wakes. After a storm hit the town that same night. One grave began to wake with a hand blanketed in mud. One hand, then the other grabbed the wet mud earth or a branch on a tree in the ground. He crawled to his feet in old cowboy muddy boots. A tall, dark man stood in the drizzling rain, and his head tilted back. His stare on the night stars in the skies. The mud, dirt, and decaying tissue fell from his face and hands. One other began to rise from the same graveyard behind him. He stared at the same night sky as if something spoke to him from a place in between heaven and earth. One of them opened his arms. Each palm lifted and opened high in the dark. He opened his mouth to wash death still lingering on his tongue and lips. One other gunfighter crawled to his feet through the drizzling rain. Each gunfighter took a deep breath for the first time since he died huuu. Three men in dark cowboy boots and clothes take that first breath that opens his eyes in a bulge. Three Gunfighters Leave the cemetery behind the first gunfighter that left the wet Earth. The first gunfighter growls in the direction of the Town toward the bottom of the Hill. I will be there soon, Townspeople! As a faint heartbeat begins. His chest began to pulsate with heartbeats slowly. His heartbeat told the other men that their hearts would also be beating. Each footstep's heel on his boot kicked at the ground. One gunfighter behind the other pretends to tiptoe into town as the drizzling rain covers them like a blanket. Each gunfighter covers his head with a hat and long coat to keep the water from splashing against his chest. Each man wore a black hat, a long shin-length coat, and cowboy boots. Beneath, he wore a blue jean shirt and pants. Some are darker than others. The third cowboy with long chocolate brown shoulder-length hair stares forward in a baby blue dead-eyed stare. One behind the other, they vanish in a cloud of drizzling rain. Behind them on the other half of the cemetery. One other had risen through the wet mud earth. He also crawled to his feet in a pair of black cowboy boots. A Shiny Gun, Badge, and a Winchester lay on the wet mud. A man in a Marshall's Badge in Dark Brown Leather lifts it off the wet ground. One other man with a Badge followed the Marshall. One after him also crawled to his feet. They begin to leave the cemetery like the other men before them. They reach the road that leads into town. The rain cleansed Each in a Badge on the way into the town. Each with a hat, Winchester at his side, and a shiny gun. The sound of a Stagecoach made them listen and look. A Stagecoach hidden in the drizzling rain made them stare into the falling rain. The sound of a hyena laughing inside made Law Men Reach for his Rifle. The sound of wicked men rose from a stagecoach as it drew closer. I'm coming to town, Marshall. I'll be waiting, Gunfighter! I will bring a few friends. I will too. Will see which one of us will reach the Gunfighter's Graveyard. I will be waiting like I do every 58 years of lawman! Come out and play Marshall, sheriff, and do not forget to bring your deputies. We will be waiting. Did I shoot the sheriff haha? Of course, I did. It was me? The stagecoach, hidden in the falling rain, roared by as a sound of a hyena laughing left them in awe. It continued to roar toward the town in the falling rain and vanishes.




Ecosystem Services, Sustainable Rural Development and Protected Areas


Book Description

Enhancing social and economic development while preserving nature is one of the major challenges for humankind in the current century. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment showed an alarming degradation of ecosystems and exacerbated poverty for many groups of people across the world due to unprecedented changes in ecosystems caused by human activities in the 20th century. Sustainable Rural Development is key to maintaining active local communities in rural and semi-natural areas, avoiding depopulation, and preserving high-ecological-value sites, including protected areas. Establishing protected areas is the most common strategy to preserve biodiversity around the world with the advantage of promoting the supply of ecosystem services. However, depending how it affects economic opportunities and the access to natural resources, it can either attract or repel human settlements. The convergence of development and conservation requires decision-making processes capable of aligning the needs and expectations of rural communities and the goals of biodiversity conservation. The articles compiled in this Special Issue (nine research papers and two review papers) make important contributions to this challenge from different approaches, disciplines and regions in the world.

Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding


Book Description

The changes in the technological and business environment have complicated the nature of the decision-making process in real-world problems, thus motivating the development of new operations research (OR) methodologies. The traditional OR context is usually based on a single objective approach using profit (cost) maximisation (minimisation) criteria. However, it is now widely acknowledged that such an approach overlooks additional factors which are also highly relevant in a decision-making context. This book presents the recent advances to the theory of multicriteria analysis, covering all its major aspects in a unique edited volume.




Women of Design


Book Description

"In the United States, the practice of interior design has been considered women's territory, regarded by the majority of architects, most of whom are male, as a lesser discipline. In the past 150 years, however, designing women have made their mark, first as domestic decorators and since the late 1940s as interior designers responsible for the planning, furnishing, and execution of the interior architecture of multimillion dollar corporate, financial, and other "important" environments for thousands of people." "Women of Design profiles thirty-two of these working women: the first generation of American women to dominate the world of commercial interior design, a multibillion dollar industry in the United States. They have overcome gender discrimination to establish themselves successfully as heads of their own independent practices or as valued principals in some of the largest interior design firms in the country. They have excelled as creators of spaces and products and as business people, serving as models for and opening the doors to a new generation of American women interior designers. Their designs for a variety of projects, ranging from retail, office, commercial, hotel, and restaurant environments, as well as residential gems, stand as proof of the immense pool of talented women who have emerged as leaders in a particular industry. Some of those included have also entered the world of design education, serving as deans and teachers at prominent design schools, molding and training future talents." "These remarkable women designers from every corner of the nation offer insights into their struggle to achieve success, revealing their personal and professional philosophies. Photographs of some of their finest achievements are included in this colorful and groundbreaking volume that serves as a testament to the enormous achievements American women have made in this field during the past century."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Weaving the Past


Book Description

Weaving the Past is the first comprehensive history of Latin America's indigenous women. While concentrating mainly on native women in Mesoamerica and the Andes, it also covers indigenous peoples in a variety of areas of South and Central America. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, it argues that change, not continuity, has been the norm for indigenous peoples whose resilience in the face of complex and long-term patterns of cultural change is due in no small part to the roles, actions, and agency of women.
