    Memories, Memorials, and Monuments is intended to be a companion to Van Dorn Hooker's books Only in New Mexico: An Architectural History of the University of New Mexico, the First Century 1889-1989, and the large format picture book The University of New Mexico (with V.B. Price and photographer Richard Reck). Memories, Memorials, and Monuments augments the related book Miracle on the Mesa: A History of the University of New Mexico, 1889-2003 by former UNM President William "Bud" E. Davis. The book also responds to the University Regents desire to have a compendium of the University's named places.The campus began with a scattering of buildings on a treeless mesa at the eastern edge of Albuquerque. Today, the campus is a vibrant and green campus within the larger metropolitan area. The black and white pictures of early buildings depict the buildings and places at or close to the time they were named. These buildings and places may not be recognizable today. And as with any change in the built environment, some named buildings and several markers have been lost to time. Background information may be missing. This first compendium, therefore, is admittedly incomplete and limited to the University of New Mexico's Albuquerque campus. The authors hope that the book will spur others, including those associated with the satellite campuses, to carry on the effort as new information becomes available, the University changes, and the next generation establishes new memorials.

    Meet Preston "Presto" Kane... freelance writer, former newspaper reporter, part-time researcher for a Pacific Grove private investigator. When Presto is assigned to ferret out background information on the upcoming auction of a legendary gem, it all seems part of a normal day's work-until a young woman turns up dead in Presto's shower and he's the prime suspect. Suddenly Presto is a man with a target on his back, the grand prize in a cat-and-mouse game played out in renowned locales throughout the Monterey Peninsula, from Pacific Grove's quaint cottages to the mansions in Carmel Highlands and beyond.Even though Presto's favorite weapon is his wry wit, he is forced to learn to shoot straight and drive like Mario Andretti as he eludes his pursuers and digs for the truth. The stakes ratchet up with players ranging from old money families to a crooked cop, Hollywood wannabes and a feuding pair of high-tech moguls-all against the fog-shrouded backdrop of the world-famous Monterey Peninsula. Fans of mysteries with a fast-thinking, wise-cracking amateur sleuth will take an instant liking to Preston Kane ...... while anyone who has fallen in love with the beauty and heritage of the Monterey Peninsula won't want to missA Quaint Town for a KillingA Quaint Town for a Killing is the third of 11 Pacific Grove Books by Patricia Hamilton, for and about residents and visitors to Butterfly Town USA,

    A smaller edition of Hamilton's best-selling "Maintenance Techniques for Interior Plants," which served to train and inspire hundreds of new interiorscapers in the early 1980s, at the beginning of the trend. Hamilton, a plant scientist and genius, was able to perfect the science to foster a 'zero replacement rate' for indoor plant maintenance.As soon as you finish reading this book, you will know 95% of the secrets to professional indoor plant care. The remaining 5% will become obvious after you have watched how plants respond to minor variations in environmental conditions over the course of a calendar year. Indoor plants are easy. They respond primarily to light and water. And, although you have no control over the light after they have been installed in a particular spot, current maintenance techniques make watering an exact science. Thus, after you learn how easy it is to water correctly, you can devote all of your working hours to becoming an efficient interiorscaper. As you make your rounds, you will notice how impressed the office people are with your plant skills. They will constantly ask you for advice. They will also notice, however, your overall attitude toward plants. It is imperative that you learn how to put on a 'show' for them. They are paying your company for two things - your watering expertise, as well as your personality. You benefit your company by doing both to the limits of your ability.
