Paperback. Zustand: Good. Geo-Texas succeeds in bringing together astronomy, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and environmental studies in a highly informative, one-of-a-kind guide to Earth sciences in the Lone Star State. Eric R. Swanson draws on the latest scientific findings in treating the natural history of Texas from the oldest known rock, through the age of the dinosaurs, to the geologic present, from the early development of Texas' water and land resources to the current crisis of environmental pollution. In examining Texas natural sciences-and the abiding connection between Texans and their physical surroundings-Geo-Texas is engagingly anecdotal and draws freely on the wry humor with which Texans have always observed and regarded their environment. Entertaining accounts of natural phenomena, such as a meteorite scoring a direct hit on a swimming pool and a Texas twister sweeping up a farmer and returning him to earth unharmed, supplement the scholarship in each chapter to show how cultural and scientific issues converge. Students and teachers of Texas Earth science will find Geo-Texas indispensable. With more than eighty illustrations and valuable appendices listing rock hound clubs, Earth science organizations, and points of interest throughout the state, Geo-Texas will also appeal to the general reader and serve as the Earth science guide for lovers of Texas and its multifaceted environment.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Bancroft is the name of Alberta school district 1362, located east of Carstairs. "On these pages you will find the record of the folks who made Bancroft district the fine place it is. Some ranched, some homesteaded, others taught school, young ministers rode horseback to bring church services. Some stayed, some left, but all had a part in shaping this community. As many as possible of the stories [in this book] have been written by the pioneers themselves or their families. We felt a short summary of the towns was part of the story because they have contributed to the development of the district. Of course Sterlingville is mentioned many times because it was the centre of business in the early years." - Foreword. 276 pages. Printed upon glossy stock. Consists primarily of detailed personal and family histories. Occasional black and white reproductions of archival photos. Unmarked with average wear to original burgundy cloth. Binding intact. Laid-in is a four-page list of the people and businesses who sponsored this publication. A sound copy of this informative local history and invaluable genealogical reference.
