The only state once recognized by the U.S.gov-ernment as an independent country.Texas is still more a nation than a state in many ways.It's larg-er than several European nations combined,with an amaxingly varied landscape and population. Since the fall of the Alamo,the Lone Star State has been the site of historic collisions:between the Old South and the New West,be-tween the Anglo culture of North America and the Hispanic culture of Latin America,between persistent small-town values and the glittering internationalism of Houston and Dallas.Yet its citizens are all Texans first,united by a storied past of epic battles,rangers and rustlers,cattle barons,wildcatters,and wheeler-dealers.

Ireland (Eire) is Europe's third largest island, lying between the Ilrish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean about 50 miles off the western shores of Britain. Politically, it is divided into the Republic of Ireland, which covers the south, east, west andnorthwest, and Northern Ireland, the northeast part of the island, which is a state within the United Kingdom. Dublin and Belfast are their respective capitals. Not for nothing is Ireland known as the 'Emerald Isle'. Its mild,maritime climate and all-too-frequent gentle rainfall (heaviest in the west) produce lush green vegetation all over the island.Within the mountains that girdle nmch of the coastline lie low,central plains, bisected from north to south by the great River Shannon and its tributaries that form a huge network of navigable inland waterways.

In the entire universe, there seems to be one constant that most everyone shares: the notion of beauty. This fact is not scientific, it is not logical, and the value of this knowledge is hard to assess. But the certainty is absolute as every one of us looks into a meadow of waving flowers, gazes at the surf and the sea, or looks deep into the night sky at the stars and beyond. God's Art explores the grace, the texture and the colors of this beautiful universe, and asks a lot of questions along the way: Why isn't the universe gray instead of such a rich incredible range of colors; Why is there so much variety in all things from snowflakes to galaxies; Why are we blessed with an appreciation for all this wonder if it does not contribute to our survival? Questions are more fun than answers, and a well-phrased quandary will keep us occupied longer than a stark fact. This is a beautifully illustrated book of questions.
