These violent times / by Joyner, C. Courtney,1959-;
Even in the darkest days of the Civil War, Dr. John "Shotgun" Bishop never saw anything like the deadly plague sweeping through the Cheyenne nation. Diseased corpses dumped in the wells of the Great Plains. Women and children bombarded with infected blood during midnight raids. This is the new scourge of germ warfare, and it's threatening to wipe out thousands of innocent lives. The culprits are a gang of renegades led by Shotgun's one-time protégé, a doctor driven insane by the war, and now hell-bent on spreading pestilence across the land "to witness the cleansing of the West." When the psychopath frames Shotgun for the plague-murders, he's forced into a bloody chase, with posses of lawmen, bounty hunters, and a Cheyenne war party on his trail. Dr. John Bishop has only one choice to stop the plague, and clear his name: load up--and start shooting.

Shotgun / by Joyner, C. Courtney,1959-;
Dr. John Bishop thought he'd seen his share of death on the battlefields of America's great Civil War. Then his quiet life was shattered when a gang of outlaws invaded his home, killed his family, and tortured him within an inch of his life. John Bishop's soul may have died that day, but his mangled body lived on. A beautiful Cheyenne named White Fox nursed him back to health - and a gunsmith outfitted him with a special shotgun rig where his left arm used to be. A strap across one shoulder fires it, while the chip on the other fuels his quest for vengeance. Now the man called Shotgun rides deep into the Colorado winter to find and kill the men who murdered everything he once held dear. The hunt will lead him straight to the heart of a fiendish criminal conspiracy - and force him to confront the violent legacy of his own outlaw brother.

Meant to be my cowboy / by Ryan, R. C.,1937-;
The cowboy she can't have...is the one she can't resist. Annie Dempsey has two rules for her new life in Devil's Door, Wyoming: no romance and no drama. Fresh off a bad breakup, she's already avoiding love. And as long as she steers clear of the Merrick clan--her family's sworn enemies--avoiding drama won't be a problem. But when a charming stranger steps in to protect Annie from a sudden threat, both her rules fly out the door. Because Annie's mystery hero...is a Merrick. Jonah Merrick won't allow anyone--even a Dempsey--to be harmed on his watch. It doesn't hurt that sweet, gorgeous Annie makes his heart beat like never before. Against his family's objections, Jonah insists Annie hide out with him at his ranch while they try to outwit a dangerous pursuer. But as the days turn into weeks, Jonah realizes he'll stop anyone who tries to harm Annie ...or the loving future they're building together.

Descartes : the life of René Descartes and its place in his times / by Grayling, A. C.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Scientist, mathematician, traveller, soldier--and spy--René Descartes has been called the 'father of modern philosophy'. Born in 1596 into an era still dominated by the medieval mindset, he was one of the chief actors in the riveting drama that ushered in the modern world. His life coincided with an extraordinarily significant time in history--the first half of the miraculous seventeenth century, replete with genius in the arts and sciences, and wracked by civil and international conflicts across Europe. Before his death in 1650 Descartes made immense contributions to an exceptionally wide range of fields and disciplines, and his assertion 'Cogito, ergo sum' ('I think, therefore I am') has become one of the most famous maxims in all philosophy. He was the very archetype of a 'Renaissance man', and yet surprisingly little is known about him. Drawing on new research and his own insights as one of our leading philosophers, A. C. Grayling presents a stunningly accessible and fascinating portrait of the man and the remarkable era in which he lived.
