Walking backward in the wind was often a child's game. But in West Texas during the Great Depression, whether you were child or grownup, it was a method of moving ahead by backing through the legendary windstorms which swept the landscape, the same winds that covered beds, furniture and even food with a thick layer of dust. Helen Mangum Field's account opens and closes with the winds - one a nameless windstorm, the other the fabled Black Duster. But Walking Backward in the Wind is about more than the winds - they are only bookends, a blustery literary device. What occurs between the winds - the rhythms of farm families and communities in the 1920s - is the heart of this narrative. Cleaning the stove, daily dusting or shoveling dirt, planting, killing hogs, box suppers, dipping snuff, candling eggs, wringing chickens' necks and drawing names at Christmas are all richly detailed without sentimentality. In spite of gusts which grabbed and tore at the fabric of life, Helen Mangum Fields proves how successful walking backward in the wind was.

Belfast, Northern Ireland. He stood there, towering above her. He inspected himself in the mirror, standing as if on parade, resplendent in his dark blue police officer’s uniform, the RUC badge shining brightly on his collar. She looked up at her father. She sensed his love. It was a sharing love, love for her, her mother and her siblings. Although she knew the answer, she asked him, “Are you going to work now Da?” He looked down at his nine-year-old daughter, wearing her grey school blazer and a pleated navy blue skirt. Hitching up his trouser legs, he squatted down before her. “Duty calls, my sweet.” The girl smiled. It was a smile of innocence, and it warmed his heart. She said in earnest, “I want to be a police officer when I’m old enough.” The smile came easily to his lips as he gazed at her tenderly. “Whatever you are in this life, Bettina Connor, do it to the best of your ability, and always be true to yourself.” He kissed her on the cheek and rose up. He took his cap off the hook and placed it squarely on his head. “See you at tea time, Bettina darlin’.” He opened the front door and strolled down the pathway. He turned at the gate and waved. She smiled as she waved back, and then closed the door. She walked along the hallway, looking forward to the evening. At the end she stopped and turned in horror, staring at the door, she ran forward on deadened feet. She called out to him, ‘Dada! Dada, don’t!” Her screams echoed along the hallway, as she heard the car starter turning. The following explosion blew down the house door, bowled the girl over, and sent her flying along the hallway to crash through the kitchen swing door and land in a bundle on the floor.

In the late 1990s, West Texas was full of rundown towns and pumpjacks, aging reminders of the oil rush of an earlier era. Today, the towns are thriving as 300-foot-tall wind turbines tower above those pumpjacks. Wind energy has become Texas’s latest boom, with the Lone Star State now leading the nation. How did this dramatic transformation happen in a place that fights federal environmental policies at every turn? In The Great Texas Wind Rush, environmental reporters Kate Galbraith and Asher Price tell the compelling story of a group of unlikely dreamers and innovators, politicos and profiteers. The tale spans a generation and more, and it begins with the early wind pioneers, precocious idealists who saw opportunity after the 1970s oil crisis. Operating in an economy accustomed to exploiting natural resources and always looking for the next big thing, their ideas eventually led to surprising partnerships between entrepreneurs and environmentalists, as everyone from Enron executives to T. Boone Pickens, as well as Ann Richards, George W. Bush and Rick Perry, ended up backing the new technology. In this down-to-earth account, the authors explain the policies and science that propelled the “windcatters” to reap the great harvest of Texas wind. They also explore what the future holds for this relentless resource that is changing the face of Texas energy.

Pathologist Willis Kendall painstakingly diagnoses disease through his microscope, making crucial calls about the treatment of patients he never meets. But one day he looks up from the lens to face ruthless competition from a local university-based health care system, and when he turns to his family and its sensible and safe suburban existence, his life begins to unravel before the causes can even be identified. Will grapples with the torments of his demanding specialty and his splintering life. Seeking to learn where his profession can take him, he attends a medical specialty convention and meets the charming but enigmatic Jackie Todd. Will's growing friendship with Jackie helps him see more options opening up before him. Turning the microscope upon himself, Will reluctantly comes to some life-altering decisions, and the reckoning begins. The Glass Doctor provides a view of life through the lens of hospital medicine and highlights individual journeys of disillusionment to upheaval to renewal.
