DOWNLOAD EBOOKTude (To-day) is a familiar variation of the Hispanic name Arturo. It is both the title of this book and the name of its principal character. The setting is the Mojave Desert. In the guise of an ancient tortoise, Tude contends the Mojave is the cradle of an ancient, ordered society -- a society much older, separate and apart from man's, governed by the laws of natural selection and adaptation. Until recently, it had few threats. Now, man and his machines are destroying it. Tude knows man, having been his captive. He and a young protege, Uta (You-tah), begin a quest to answer the universal questions regarding man's role and responsibilities in the cosmos. Their story begins south of Death Valley near the Amargosa River and ends at Lavic Dry Lake, east of Pisgah. Or, does it? That is the question each reader must answer.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe subject of one of the great advertising campaigns of the early 20th century, the "Somewhere West of Laramie" ads, Jordan is a well-remembered marque despite its brief duration. Edward Stanlaw "Ned" Jordan was born November 21, 1882, in Merrill, Wisconsin, and worked as a journalist before finding work in the automobile industry. A pioneer of automobile advertising and sales who got his start with Thomas B. Jeffery and Company in 1907, he founded the Jordan Motor Car Company with fellow Jeffery employees Russell S. Begg as experimental engineer and Paul Zens as purchasing agent in 1916. This book is both a biography of Ned Jordan and a history of his company and its vehicles from its beginning in 1916 to its end on April 1, 1932, when non-payment of franchise taxes forced its dissolution. Jordan's first models were four- and seven-passenger custom-type touring cars, but it would become famous for the Sport Marine, the Playboy, the Little Tomboy, and the Little Custom Jordan. Spectacularly illustrated.
