Talking Up a Storm: Voices of the New West

In interviews with fifteen contemporary writers of the American West, Gregory L. Morris demonstrates what these widely divergent talents have in common: they all redefine what it is to be a western writer. No longer enthralled (though sometimes inspired) by the literary traditions of openness, place, and rugged individualism, each of the writers has remained true to the demand for clarity, strength, and honesty, virtues sustained in their conversations. 
Morris talks with Ralph Beer, Mary Clearman Blew, Elizabeth Cook-Lynn, James Crumley, Ivan Doig, Gretel Ehrlich, Richard Ford, Molly Gloss, Ron Hansen, John Keeble, William Kittredge, David Long, Thomas McGuane, Amy Tan, and Douglas Unger. Their lives and fiction stretch from Montana to Texas, from ranches to universities, from sea level to mountain slopes.

Designed for students and teachers of the short story at the college and high school levels, this bibliography covers American, Canadian, and British authors and stories most frequently anthologized for classroom study, plus a few authors the editors believe have been unjustly neglected. Opening chapters cover reference works, bibliographies, histories of the short story, and short story theory, including the most important new thinking on the genre. Chapters on individual authors (arranged alphabetically) include standard biographies, general critical studies, and discussions of individual stories, particularly those frequently anthologized and studied in the classroom. Throughout, the emphasis is on books and journal articles (from Studies in Short Fiction and Modern Fiction Studies especially) readily available to students and teachers in college or public libraries. Annotations are detailed, providing not only a synopsis of the content, but also the author's approach (Biographical, formalist, structuralist, psychological, etc.). Highly technical or very difficult studies are generally not included. The result is a comprehensive and easy to use guide to the scholarship and criticism on a wide range of important British and American short story writers, ranging in time from Robert Lewis Stevenson and Edgar Allan Poe to Raymond Carter and Alice Munro.

Investing with the Trend provides an abundance of evidence for adapting a rules-based approach to investing by offering something most avoid, and that is to answer the “why” one would do it this way. It explains the need to try to participate in the good markets and avoid the bad markets, with cash being considered an asset class. The book is in three primary sections and tries to leave no stone unturned in offering almost 40 years of experience in the markets. Part I – The focus is on much of the misinformation in modern finance, the inappropriate use of Gaussian statistics, the faulty assumptions with Modern Portfolio Theory, and a host of other examples. The author attempts to explain each and offer justification for his often strong opinions. Part II – After a lead chapter on the merits of technical analysis, the author offers detailed research into trend analysis, showing how to identify if a market is trending or not and how to measure it. Further research involves the concept of Drawdown, which the author adamantly states is a better measure of investor risk than the oft used and terribly wrong use of volatility as determined by standard deviation. Part III – This is where he puts it all together and shows the reader all of the steps and details on how to create a rules-based trend following investment strategy. A solid disciplined strategy consists of three parts, a measure of what the market is actually doing, a set of rules and guidelines to tell you how to invest based upon that measurement, and the discipline to follow the strategy

Economic development relies critically on infrastructure development. Yet, without careful planning, the services provided by hydropower facilities and dams are at risk. Ensuring the long-term resilience of these critical infrastructure facilities requires early and consistent attention to the processes of reservoir sedimentation, which reduce the storage capacity of reservoirs and damages hydromechanical equipment, posing a threat to the sustainability of hydropower, water supply, and irrigation services. Written by two of the world’s leading experts on sediment management, Extending the Life of Reservoirs: Sustainable Sediment Management for Dams and Run-of-River Hydropower provides guidance on adopting sediment management practices for hydropower and dam projects. It stresses the importance of incorporating sediment management into projects in order to safeguard the many important services of these projects, including water supply, irrigation, and renewable electricity. In particular, the book stresses the importance of integrating sediment management into the early planning phases of projects. Importantly, this book provides a new perspective on the importance of sediment management that is not found in earlier work. The authors stress the value of sediment management as a robust adaptation strategy to support sustainable hydropower and supply of water for domestic use, agriculture, and industry. The techniques focus on addressing uncertainties related to future climate changes, and how uncertainty over future hydrological patterns may be addressed. While the primary audience for the book includes policy makers, lending agencies, and general practitioners evaluating dam and hydropower proposals, the level of detail provided in the book should appeal to a wide array of stakeholder groups. The content is neither overly technical nor overly simplistic, and aims to provide practical and useful information.

Of the many current market indicators used by investors, Japanese "candlesticks," which have been used for many centuries in Japan, have emerged as a powerful method for trading strategies in the Western market. Although Japanese candlesticks are similar in many respects to conventional charting techniques, they provide a great deal more information about the markets' underlying psychological conditions. Author Gregory L. Morris shares his experience spent in Japan studying Japanese candlestick analysis in his new book, CandlePower: Advanced Candlestick Pattern Recognition and Filtering Techniques for Trading Stocks and Futures. As Morris delves into the theory, interpretation and application of Japanese candlestick charting and candle pattern analysis, he shows how candlesticks can be used to identify trends, continuation patterns, reversal patterns and tops and bottoms. He also integrates candle pattern analysis with conventional technical analysis tools such as oscillators and relative strength. After defining the inner workings of Japanese candlesticks, Morris applies a rigorous statistical test of candlestick patterns to determine their usefulness in trading. CandlePower takes a direct approach to a new and exciting dimension of technical analysis. It addresses the basics, but at the same time it explains in detail how to identify and use the candlestick patterns. Morris demonstrates what is perhaps the single most important attribute of candlesticks: how candle patterns can be used as a filter, in conjunction with other technical tools, to identify high reward, low risk trades. The best book on candlesticks written to date, CandlePower is destined to become the definitive text on this time-honored trading method. Specific topics include reversal and continuation patterns, philosophy of candle pattern identification, reliability of pattern recognition, candlestick filtering, and derivative charting methods.
