Historic Churches in Texas: Through the Lens Series
Author: William Schaefer
ISBN: 9781643000152
Book Cover Type:
- Paperback
The story of historic churches in Texas is the story of the Anglo-American and European immigrants in Texas. It is the story of the struggle of three cultures trying to coexist in an empty and often hostile land: the Native Americans, the Mexicans, and the immigrants. It is the story of circuit-riding preachers tirelessly, clandestinely crisscrossing Texas, bringing the Protestant word of God to the people in a land where, prior to Texas's independence, only Catholicism was legal. It is the story of a people who successfully fought and won their independence to build a nation. It is the story of Texas.
Over the past ten years, my wife and I have visited and photographed almost one thousand historic churches in Texas. We have seen stunningly beautiful stained-glass windows, listened to the rich tones of Texas's largest organ, and prayed in the smallest active Catholic Church in the world. We visited the oldest Polish church in the United States in Panna Maria, lingered with spirits in an abandoned church in Nacogdoches, and were dazzled by the bright colors and designs found in the Catholic Cathedral in Beaumont. In Berlin, we held a silver communion cup donated to the church in 1889, and in San Antonio we touched the sarcophagus where the remains of Alamo heroes William Travis, David Crockett, and James Bowie are said to be kept. The photographs and text, which was jointly written by William and Mary Pamela Schaefer, are attempts to capture the important history and the quiet beauty of the 186 historic Texas churches presented in this book.

Philosophycally written and well researched book about most mysterious subject in neuro science

My interest in data science, machine learning and AI brought me to Pak Manifesto's website. This is a great book (and although I haven't read all of it) it basically underlines the importance of having a deep intuitive understanding of probability and being able to glean information from minute details in order to fine-tune one's predictions (about anything). The data on which such predictions are based, it quantity, breadth, depth and quality are all important, as is the broader canvas of knowledge surrounding the problem at hand.
My pleasure in purchasing this book was doubled for two reasons. I got to know Mr. Riaz, the owner of Pak Manifesto who is a gentleman to the core, always keen to support his customers and provide them with the best experience. And secondly, when I received the book vide TCS, I found out that its a Penguin original paperback with superb quality paper and illustrations (though not in colour, just black, grey and white).
This book is a must read for any statistics and/or data science student or even a professional. Highly recommended from my side!
