It's a romance...a vendetta...a war! The warped revenge of an ageing cowboy brings the U.S. and Mexico to the brink of war. How it happened is intrigueing, often thrilling, sometimes revulsive and how the problem was solved is a stunning surprise! The remarkable old cowboy named Lonesome is an admirable character in spite of his occasional lapses into his primitive vendetta against the "coyotes" who lead drug-carrying "mules" across the Rio Grande. Just before the "fit hits the shan", he stumbles into the greatest romance of his life and the recently retired school teacher who falls in love with him is horrified when she discovers the real reason for his spending occasional nights alone on horseback out on the desert of the Big Bend Park of south Texas. It'll keep you wondering what's gonna happen next...and WHY!

The promotion of workplace partnership in the high performance workplace has become central to policy debates on the 'modernization' of employment relations in British industry. This book provides critical insights into the dynamics of partnership by way of in-depth case studies of employee experience in an under-researched industry noted for its high concentrations of skilled workers and graduates. Drawing on rich interview and questionnaire data, the authors highlight considerable conflicts of interest in the development of partnership that derive from the competitive capitalist environment in which management strategies operate.

Mike the Tiger-the only live tiger mascot in the United States-is an iconic presence on LSU's campus. From his tiger sanctuary next to Tiger Stadium, he draws a steady stream of fans, adults and children alike. In this new book about LSU's favorite tiger, Mike's former veterinarian David G. Baker reflects on his decades of caring for three of the live mascots, beginning with Mike V in 1996. Baker gives fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpses of the tigers as he recounts episodes such as Mike VI's cancer diagnosis, treatment, and death, and the search for Mike VII. He gives details about the tiger's daily care and routine, provides answers to commonly asked questions about the mascot program, and discusses Mike's popular social media presence. He also delves into new traditions, such as the creation of "meat art" for Mike to devour before home football games and the overnight holding of graduation rings in the night house with Mike. In addition to Baker's own text, Mike: The Tigers of LSU includes remembrances from many of the tiger's veterinary student caretakers over the years, who reveal how caring for Mike the Tiger impacted their lives. Loaded with more than one hundred new and historical photos, Mike is sure to please the most avid fans of LSU's mascot.
