Longarm’s up against the four horsewomen of the apocalypse… They are the daughters of Howard Diamond. Four sultry sirens with an appetite for outlaws and more ambition than their old man ever had. With a gang of gunslingers satisfying their every need, the Diamond Sisters have declared war on the citizens of Snakehead Gap, Colorado, claiming land that doesn’t belong to them. Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long has successfully penetrated this nest of vipers, posing as a down-on-his-luck cowhand. But the warm welcome he receives from the sisters isn’t shared by the vicious—and suspicious—gunmen they employ…

Slocum sticks his neck out for a woman wronged. When Slocum meets lovely young Perla, he learns that the New Mexican woman’s haughty manner masks fear. The Booster Brothers—rustlers who raped and robbed her, killed women and children, and murdered her husband—are leaving a trail of blood along the Rio Grande. After Slocum agrees to escort Perla to her ranch, he takes another job —as avenging angel. But before he brings the gang to justice, Slocum finds you ride one hell of a road to carry out good intentions.

The cloning of the SRY gene and the attainment of XX mice transgenic for the Sry gene opened a new era in research on sex determination. This book surveys current knowledge of sex chromosomes and sex determination in all vertebrate classes, relying on the restriction of genetic recombination in sex chromosomes as the unifying concept of this subject. The book's interdisciplinary approach integrates contributions from the fields of cytogenetics, molecular biology, developmental biology, and evolutionary genetics. A detailed treatment of the meiotic behavior of sex chromosomes is featured, and the entire text is supplemented by numerous schemes, drawings, and electron micrographs. The book will be valuable to general cytogeneticists, vertebrate zoologists, and veterinarian and medical practitioners interested in the foundations of sex determination and the current knowledge of sex chromosomes. It will also interest students in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in these areas.

This comprehensive and accessible guide is for every birthing and health professional looking to improve their care during pregnancy, birth, and aftercare for autistic women. With a distinct lack of scientifically approached work in this area, this much-needed book takes an intersectional, feminist approach and covers the background of modern birth practices and autism as a diagnosis. With intersectionality as a core feature, the impact of cultural differences, underdiagnoses, stigma, and stereotypes amongst ethnic minorities is also included. It discusses how pain functions in the autistic brain as well as co-occurring conditions such as alexithymia, chronic pain, epilepsy, and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. This multidisciplinary author team includes two well-established autism experts, and an experienced midwife and lecturer who provides invaluable birthing insight, as well as approaches for sensation management during birth, insider knowledge on midwifery protocols, and accessible tools for autistic pregnant people and families to use.

Originally published in 1915, when Jennings Cropper Wise was commandant of the Virginia Military Institute, The Long Arm of Lee has never been surpassed as an authoritative study of the Confederate artillery in the Civil War. Volume 1 described the organization and tactics of the field batteries of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia from the time of the Battle of Bull Run through the Maryland invasion. Volume 2, beginning with an account of the Chancellorsville campaign, includes a close look at the Battle of Gettysburg, in which tactical errors made by the Confederate side are reassessed. There was heroism aplenty, not only from generals like J.E.B. Stuart and Stonewall Jackson but also from ordinary artillerymen who fought doggedly and resignedly until the end.
