This book follows the life of Martin Clement, an electronics tech who realizes that sound waves continue to bounce and discovers a way to recover sounds and voices from the past. Collaborating with a team he put together, they embarked on building such a device. As luck would have it, they have no luck. Then, an accident leads the way to success. After proving its functionality, they file for a patent, which opens a series of unforeseen and sometimes deadly circumstances. They must protect the device from falling into the wrong hands while protecting themselves as well! Geoff McCue was born and raised in Colorado, near Denver. He had seven brothers and three sisters, so his early life was always in turmoil. He has been a tinkerer and inventor for as long as he can remember. He spent his early childhood taking things apart to see what made them tick but was never successful in putting them back together! With a degree in business and a minor in art, he set off into the world of sales. He was successful at selling and installing equipment and then training his customers about their use. He had developed a premise that words never completely go away! For as long as he can remember, he had an intense, burning desire to write a book about it. After he retired, he put that passion to work, and this book is the labor and inspiration that evolved from those dreams and passions.

A Land Remembered has become Florida's favorite novel. Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history with a cast of memorable characters who battle wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp. In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series
