Las Cruces, New Mexico: New Mexico State University - Agricultural Experiment Station - VCoopererative Extension Service, 1995. Revised September 1995 . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 50 Pages. Stapled binding. This guide is intended to help homeowners and forest managers in identifying and controlling forest and ornamental tree pests. The guide focuses on insect and disease pests but also discusses natural and human-caused environmental problems. Many pest problems can be prevented by keeping trees health and vigorous. Tree pests are usually attracted to and do more damage to stressed, weakened trees. In forests, environmental stresses can sometimes be alleviated by thinning stands to reduce competition among trees. In urban landscapes, trees are often planted in areas where they would not grow naturally and thus may suffer from too much or too little moisture, soil compaction, alkalinity, air pollution, and exposure to sun and wind. In urban areas throughout New Mexico, conifers… Read More

Brussels Sprout Press, 2022. Soft cover. Very Good. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Book has minor wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. Mermaid Survival Rule Number 1: Stay away from intelligent women. Who are so my type. Fish are not great conversationalists. That is not why Niua sneaks aboard a research ship, or why she is tumbling around on legs, pretending she is not a mermaid, but years of living among uncommunicative sea life may explain why she is unwisely flirting with a marine scientist who is far too perceptive--and far too female--for Niua's safety. She needs to focus, but Ms. "Why Aren't You on the Passenger List?" keeps distracting her. In the best possible way. She is in over her head, and she does not have time to waste. She has a shipwreck to find, a treasure to reclaim, and a secret to protect. Before mermaids disappear forever.

If for no other reason, his name will live as the central figure in the infamous Kansas City Union Station Massacre. This event, however, was merely the grand exit to a career of bank robbing unparalleled by either old-time… Read More
