Praise for P.K. Pinkerton and the Petrified Man*"As in the last Wild West adventure, our half-Lakota hero records his suspenseful story on ledger sheets and struggles with his &#8220;Thorn&#8221;&#8212;his inability to show or read emotion that today might be called high-functioning autism. P.K.&#8217;s straight-shooting personality, integrity and good heart make readers want to follow him to the ends of the Earth . . . A warm, wise, wild and woolly second offering."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)*This entertaining, absorbing sequel will hook readers from the get-go, and Lawrence sets up intriguing ambiguities and mysteries for P.K.&#8217;s sure-to-be-anticipated next adventure. An appended glossary includes real-life people, places, and events referenced throughout."--Booklist (starred review)"Infused with humor and fast-paced action, this slightly gritty mystery has a satisfying resolution, making it an enjoyable historical romp."--School Library Journal"The story unfolds quickly with numerous twists and turns propelled by cliffhangers at the end of each chapter. In addition, the narrative often summarizes events, which, because of many complications and characters, is useful rather than tedious. Prior knowledge from the first book is helpful, but not critical. P.K. has several personal challenges, particularly those stemming from an Asperger&#8217;s-like syndrome that renders him unable to read faces or recognize tone. But what isn&#8217;t hampered is his most important skill: like his friend Sam Clemens, P.K. knows how to spin a great yarn."--The Horn&#160;Book

"Professor Lein provides an excellent and accessible analysis of fundamental concepts in sustainability and futures research. Consideration for future generations as well as our own is, of course, at the heart of sustainability, but how can we possibly know what possible futures will look like and what the people who will live in those futures will need and want? No one can provide definitive answers to these questions, but Professor Lein gives us some badly needed guidance as to how we can begin to address them. It is a tough ask, but the book walks us through some of the options."— Stephen Morse, University of Surrey, Guildford, United Kingdom
"A thorough examination of the concepts that underpin sustainability whereby the reader is introduced to the concept of sustainability and the interconnecting principles that influence environmental management through a logical approach. The conceptual diagrams are used to great effectiveness to provide understanding of the linkages between economy, society and the environment; the addition of culture to the pillars of sustainability is an important and interesting addition to the discussion on sustainability. The author brings home the important point that while a sustainable environment does not depend on either the economy or society, neither can exist without a healthy environment. I especially liked the Brontosaurus analogy. This book provides a sensible discussion on sustainability and the how broad subject area of sustainability has become and is a valuable resource for students of environmental science and related disciplines." — Bernadette O'Regan, University of Limerick, Ireland
"As an urban planner and professor, I found this book to be a brilliant summary of environmental sustainability concepts and - the most valuable – modern assessment methods for visioning, planning and monitoring sustainability. It deepened my understanding and gave me particular ideas and motivation in my daily work. The book is valuable both for students and teachers as well as planning practitioners."— Jurgis Zagorskas, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Vilnius, Lithuania
