In Riding Shotgun with Norman Wallace, award-winning geographer William Wyckoff celebrates the photographic legacy of Norman Grant Wallace, whose work…
as an Arizona highway engineer during the first half of the twentieth century afforded him the opportunity to survey every corner of the Grand Canyon State. Possessing a passion for photography, Wallace documented Arizona throughout his travels. From 1906 to 1969 Wallace photographed the state&’s natural and rural landscapes; its burgeoning infrastructure including roads, bridges, and dams; and its towns and cities, some of which experienced exponential growth following World War II.Nearly one hundred years later, Wyckoff retraces Wallace&’s southwestern travels using the engineer&’s photographs and meticulous notebooks as a guide. The author rephotographs many of Wallace&’s iconic vantage points, giving us a historical tour of Arizona, a &“then-and-now&” viewpoint that also tells the personal story of Wyckoff&’s own vicarious travels with Wallace through Arizona&’s vast countryside and its urban centers and small towns.

Bisney and J. L. Pickering&’s extraordinary book of rare photographs from the Mercury and Gemini missions, the authors now present the rest of the Golden Age of US manned space flight with a photographic history of Project Apollo.Beginning in 1967, Moonshots and Snapshots of Project Apollo chronicles the program&’s twelve missions and its two follow-ons, Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. The authors draw from rarely seen NASA, industry, and news media images, taking readers to the Moon, on months-long odysseys above Earth, and finally on the first international manned space flight in 1975.The book pairs many previously unpublished images from Pickering&’s unmatched collection of Cold War–era space photographs with extended captions—identifying many NASA, military, and contract workers and participants for the first time—to provide comprehensive background information about the exciting climax and conclusion of the Space Race.

By the 1530s, Indigenous Pueblo populations in the American Southwest reached tens of thousands of people with a rich culture…
expressed through stunning architecture, ceramic technology, and ceremonial life. Then, into that world came outsiders—an army from Spain&’s new colony in Mexico led by Francisco Vázquez de Coronado. First contacts at the western Pueblos of Zuni, Hopi, and Acoma led to open warfare. By the winter of 1540, increasing tensions and resistance spilled over into violence in America&’s earliest named war, the Tiguex War, which occurred in an area settled by ancestors of today&’s Rio Grande Pueblos. The largest and most intact battle site of that fierce conflict is known as Piedras Marcadas Pueblo, situated within present-day Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fighting back against Coronado&’s crossbows and muskets with stone-tipped arrows and slingstones, the Puebloans mounted a courageous defense of their largest village, piling rocks on rooftops and hurling them down at attackers. Hundreds of artifacts found at Piedras Marcadas reveal the life-and-death contest for survival that occurred within those ancient walls and plazas.

Anyone planning a fishing trip to beautiful southern Colorado needs this book to locate the best fly-fishing streams. Most guidebooks…
focus on large, well-known drainages. Williams and McPhail identify many locations not included in other books. They also recommend appropriate flies for each stream in entries that bring out the unique character of every fishing spot. In alphabetical order, the authors describe fishing waters from the Animas River to Willow Creek. They have intentionally omitted some lesser-known highcountry streams to avoid traffic and overfishing. They have also been selective in assigning flies, picking patterns that have worked for them rather than the obvious ones that local fly shops might recommend.

Creative concepts and exercises that fundamentally improve your riding foundation, enabling you to excel in any training system or discipline.When…
horsewoman and certified personal trainer Joyce Kramer discovered that the riders most committed to fitness were not reaping the benefits of their improved athleticism on horseback, she abandoned the standard protocol for developing strength, endurance, and stability. Her background in the study of movement and holding patterns enabled her to develop her own unique approach to physical training capable of improving riding function and performance in such dramatic ways, it can bring out what she calls the &“inner elite rider&” in everyone.Using phenomenal hand-drawn imagery and engaging photographs of her own students at work, Kramer begins her book by clarifying the four most important ingredients to riding in harmony with an equine partner, as well as the aspects that nurture a sense of &“feel&” in the rider:AlignmentCenteringGroundingPositive TensionThe second part of the book focuses on rider position, deconstructing the body&’s sections and again using imagery to enable readers to connect all their &“parts&” into one cohesive, breathing, supple &“whole.&” An optimal position allows the horse to carry the rider comfortably and efficiently, promoting performance to the very best of his ability.Finally, Kramer takes the reader on a journey to the &“deep core,&” which she has identified as key not only to limiting extraneous movement of the exterior body visible to others, but also to the energy exchange at the most exciting level of connection with a horse. Bones, internal organs, and spinal stabilizers are engaged on the ground and in the saddle, using sound cues, proprioceptive props, and imagery, with mind-blowing results.With hundreds of images, tips, and exercises that can be modified according to age and ability, and an excitingly fresh perspective, this book can be the key to any rider reaching the next level in the saddle—whether that means excelling in a whole new division of competition, or recovering or rebuilding after time away from the sport. Every page is full of fun, engaging answers to your riding questions, ideas for clearing your stumbling blocks, and the endless promise of pursuing an activity you love in the company of your horse.

studying physical chemistry. The exceptional quality of previous editions has been built upon to make the twelfth edition of Atkins' Physical Chemistry even more closely suited to the needs of both lecturers and students. The writing style has been refreshed in collaboration with current students of physical chemistry in order to retain the clarity for which the book is recognized while mirroring the way that students read and engage with information. The new edition is now available as an enhanced e-Book, which offers a richer, more dynamic learning experience. It does this by incorporating digital enhancements that are carefully curated and thoughtfully inserted at meaningful points to enhance the learning experience. In addition, it offers formative auto-graded assessment materials to provide students with regular opportunities to test their understanding. Digital enhancements introduced for the new edition include dynamic graphs, which students can interact with to explore how the manipulation of variables affects the results of the graphs; self-check questions at the end of every "Topic"; video content from physical chemists; and video tutorials that accompany the "Focus" features, which dig deeper into the key equations introduced. There is also a new foundational prologue entitled "Energy: A First Look," which summarizes key concepts that are best kept in mind right from the beginning of physical chemistry studies. The coupling of the broad coverage of the subject with a structure and use of pedagogy that is even more innovative will ensure that Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry.
