Revealing Character: Robb Kendrick's Texas Tintypes The cowboy of the 19th century gave Texas its character.

Houston, Texas. This sprawling city hums with the energy and independent spirit that turned it from swampland into the fourth-largest city in the U.S. Everything is big, from the towering skyscrapers, to the huge sports Astrodome that links with two Six Flags theme parks to create one gargantuan entertainment complex, to the city's prominence in aerospace, oil, shipping and finance. Even the architecture makes big, bold statements, like the medical center towers that resemble two giant syringes. A thriving business center, the city has become increasingly cosmopolitan, with an influx of diverse ethnic groups and a strong emphasis on the arts. Opera, ballet, symphony and theater are all top-notch, and museums abound. The midday heat is easily escaped inside the numerous attractions and shopping areas, particularly in the pedestrian-friendly 6.5-mile underground city. Since you're in the place that broadcast man's first step on the moon, you may want to pay a visit to Space Center Houston, where you'll be whisked into outer space through simulations and films. Once back on earth, you can hop on the tram to the complex's NASA/Johnson Space Center to watch astronauts and engineers at work and in training.

Dallas: Shining Star of Texas Dallas, the eighth largest city in the USA, is known for its upscale department stores and restaurants; powerful sporting teams such as the Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks, Sidekicks, and Rangers; and high-tech cutting edge petroleum, aeronautical, and electronic industries. This book captures the city's forcefulness, beauty, and integrity with 80 spectacular colour photographs by Carolyn Brown and fascinating text by Jim Dononvan. Travellers, Texas transplants, visitors, and historians alike will enjoy this book, which chronicles the beginnings of the Texas town, starting with founder John Neely Bryan, to its status as the 'Buckle of the Bible Belt'.

San Antonio: Portrait of the Fiesta City The spirit of this unique city in Texas is captured in this entertaining text and Langford's vivid colour photographs. The book is a thorough introduction to San Antonio, detailing the city's history, architecture, military tradition, and cultural events. The authors outline the history of what is perhaps San Antonio's best-known landmark, the Alamo. They also highlight more recently developed points of interest in San Antonio, focusing on the River Walk, the development that turned the San Antonio River into a graceful, romantic, and historic centrepiece for the city. They recommend several of the city's many Botanical Gardens, the San Antonio Museum of Art, Brackenridge Park, and HemisFair Plaza. And they present San Antonio's varied menu of cultural opportunities, from a day spent at the rodeo or Sea World to an evening at the Grand Opry House or the San Antonio Symphony. Finally, the authors summarise the city's most popular fiestas and festivals. Throughout, Mark Langford's colour photographs celebrate the diversity and spirit of San Antonio.
