Armed only with a Greyhound ticket and enough money for his next beer; Garth Cartwright set out to see whether the American roots music he loved - blues and country; folk and soul - was still alive in the twenty-first century. His journey took him from the LA bus station to the Mexican cantinas of San Antonio; the Indian reservations of New Mexico to the last surviving juke joints of Highway 61. Along the way he meets an exotic mix of surviving legends - from soul diva Mabel John to the queen of Mexican American song Lydia Mendoza; funk pioneer Charles Wright to country troubadour Billy Joe Shaver - plus a supporting cast of cowboy poets; down and out bluesmen and a feller called Lee who becomes Cartwrights co-pilot for an epic drive across the deserts of the South-West. A remarkable piece of travel writing and an introduction to the real stars of Americana.

(There was a snow storm. so it got delayed a day but still beat the ETA).I would recommend using this buyer.As far as the book content. Im in Dr Livs class now. She has great notes to help explain her calculations. The class is a lot different than your regular civil engineering courses. (Different way of thinking). I learned lot so far and Im looking forward to applying my knowledge. I would recommend emailing the Dr. Haslebach if youre interested in taking the course or getting course materials. I cant say if she would or not. but wouldnt hurt to ask.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. disappointmentBy TomThis book could have been very good if they would show actual calculations instead of formula after formula. They have sample questions at the end of each chapter. if they would have shown how these were solved step by step the book would be far more useful. Also I was hoping to see examples of LEED forms filled out and there were none. So the book is not practical and is more like a student textbook than anything for professional use.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
