Book Description
Longarm’s tracking a fugitive—and treading on thin ice! If there’s one thing U.S. Deputy Marshal Long can’t stand, it’s a yeller witness who heads for the hills just when the law needs him most. Harrison Dodge is one such lily-livered sleaze. Privy to Washington’s dirty secrets, Dodge realizes he knows too much—and quits the capitol with a one-way ticket. Destination: anywhere. Longarm tries to sniff out the little runt, and finds himself on a boat bound for Alaska. Unfortunately, tip-to-tip, Alaska measures only a mite smaller than the U.S. of A. His only means of transportation is a riverboat, the Yukon Queen, driven by a hot-tempered, fiery lady-captain. Now, not only does Longarm have to keep his eyes peeled for any sign of his fugitive, he must also help his captain ward off her enemies. And try to keep his burning desire for her from melting the Alaskan ice…

Longarm longs to send this posse a-packin’! Everybody in Denver remembers the ruthless massacre at a local bank ’round five years back, but not a living soul has seen hide nor hair of the posse since.

Petroleum Resource Potential of Sedimentary Basins on the Pacific Margin of Canada
Author: P. K. Hannigan
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
This report assesses the oil & gas resource potential in the Cenozoic and Mesozoic strata of the three major sedimentary basins of the Pacific margin of Canada: the Tofino, Queen Charlotte, and Georgia basins. Ten conceptual petroleum plays are defined on the basis of various geological controls, with most plays identified from stratigraphic considerations. Once defined, the ten plays are each statistically analyzed to estimate their hydrocarbon resource potential. Total potential & field sizes quoted in the report are all median value estimates of in-place hydrocarbon volumes.

The Sounds of Early Cinema
Author: Richard Abel
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 9780253108708
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The Sounds of Early Cinema is devoted exclusively to a little-known, yet absolutely crucial phenomenon: the ubiquitous presence of sound in early cinema. "Silent cinema" may rarely have been silent, but the sheer diversity of sound(s) and sound/image relations characterizing the first 20 years of moving picture exhibition can still astonish us. Whether instrumental, vocal, or mechanical, sound ranged from the improvised to the pre-arranged (as in scripts, scores, and cue sheets). The practice of mixing sounds with images differed widely, depending on the venue (the nickelodeon in Chicago versus the summer Chautauqua in rural Iowa, the music hall in London or Paris versus the newest palace cinema in New York City) as well as on the historical moment (a single venue might change radically, and many times, from 1906 to 1910). Contributors include Richard Abel, Rick Altman, Edouard Arnoldy, Mats Björkin, Stephen Bottomore, Marta Braun, Jean Châteauvert, Ian Christie, Richard Crangle, Helen Day-Mayer, John Fullerton, Jane Gaines, André Gaudreault, Tom Gunning, François Jost, Charlie Keil, Jeff Klenotic, Germain Lacasse, Neil Lerner, Patrick Loughney, David Mayer, Domi-nique Nasta, Bernard Perron, Jacques Polet, Lauren Rabinovitz, Isabelle Raynauld, Herbert Reynolds, Gregory A. Waller, and Rashit M. Yangirov.
