Most of us, if we remain on the Earth plane for any length of time, may begin to assess our past, our present and our future. We may begin to explore our decisions and our myriad of opinions and beliefs that have either evolved with each decade or those that are so programmed that they have stagnated. We may awaken and ask the proverbial question: Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? And perhaps, What have I left behind? We do a kind of life review of our experiences and what matters. We have enlightened views on a range of subjects from marriage, to spirituality, to children, to politics and to mysteries that we have ignored. This memoir/social commentary contains the author's own opinions and experiences, but does not pretend to have all the answers, so there are many experts quoted and referenced. This is a panoramic, at times humorous, and at times deadly serious, accounting of a life in flux. Perhaps we can relate to the journey.

Carol Goldstein Abaya Is an international award-winning journalist. She was the very first female journalist to travel extensively around the world and to interview heads of state one-on-one in developing countries with unstable economies. At a time when young women went to college for a MRS degree, Carol developed a love for world politics. After receiving her B.A. from the University of Wisconsin and a Masters in international relations from New York University, she traveled the world -- alone. This story is about her adventures and evolved from her memories, the numerous articles she wrote and that were published in newspapers and magazines around the world, and the lengthy letters she wrote to her mother and father. She was in India during the 1962 Chinese invasion (which she predicted); in Indonesia during the 1963 anti-Malaysia campaign and the 1965 communist revolution (which she predicted); and in the Philippines during the 1972 anti-government demonstrations and subsequent coup. In 1967 she was the only American journalist to travel through all of the Israeli occupied territories after the Six Day War. Wherever she went -- India, Pakistan, Burma, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sabah, Liberia, people spoke candidly with her. She was treated royally by the top in society and the lowest. Everyone shared their homes and lives with her. The old saying "It's not what you know, but who you know" tells a good part of her story. All along the way people helped her meet power brokers as well as the 'man' on the street and get their stories.

Churchill on the Riviera by Nancy Smith tells the story of how a villa on the Riviera tied a world leader, a fashion icon, and a world renowned model together with many of the most famous people and events of the twentieth century. The French couturier Coco Chanel and Texas-born model Wendy Reves had much in common: they were born in poverty and rose to own villa La Pausa and its six acres overlooking the French Riviera. And both had roses and thorns relationships with Winston Churchill. Chanel met him when she was the mistress of his best friend, the Duke of Westminster. After World War II, Churchill saved her from prosecution for being an alleged Nazi spy. From her viewpoint, she collaborated with Nazis for personal goals: to rescue her nephew from a prisoner of war camp, to oversee her investments in Rue Cambon buildings by living nearby at Hotel Ritz, and to have part of her financial stake restored in Chanel No. 5. In war-torn Europe, she kept her family and property intact. Wendy Reves became a New York model who dated Cary Grant, Errol Flynn and Howard Hughes. Then she lived with Churchill's publisher Emery Reves who bought La Pausa in 1953 and had Churchill as a house guest for a third of each year 1956-58. There he was pampered by Wendy to the annoyance of his wife Clementine who preferred they cruise on Aristotle Onassis' yacht. In Emery's memory, Wendy donated the Reves Center for International Studies to the College of William & Mary, as well as 41 Impressionist paintings to the Dallas Museum of Art. La Pausa's fate hung in limbo until 2015 when it was purchased by the House of Chanel with plans to restore it to Chanel's original vision. Over 85 Illustrations.

In 2013, John Cisna received worldwide attention from a high school biology experiment that tested the hypothesis, "Is it possible for a person to become healthy eating nothing but fast food?" The results of The McDonald's Project caused people to look at how we eat in a different light, and John spent the next two and a half years traveling the United States speaking about the importance of choice in our diets. Now you can read about John's experience as a McDonald's brand ambassador, the controversy that swirled around him, and how he took what he learned from his original experiment to become healthier and stronger than ever before. John's fast-food odyssey led him to the Fountain of Youth, and he'll show you how you can get there, too.

This book features one of the author's favorite birds, The Great Blue Heron. He hopes you enjoy this intimate look into the life of a truly magnificent American bird. Most of these photos were taken by him in the beautiful Hocking Hills area of southeastern Ohio. This book is intended as a photographic essay concerning one bird species, the Great Blue Heron. It is not a technical piece by any means. My intent is to let these photographs speak for themselves as much as possible. I might interject my observations into its photographic narration at some points, but only as clarification or to point out an observation of my own pertaining to what these great birds have taught me about themselves. They were the teachers, I was the eager student. They still have much to teach me. I'll never live long enough to know it all. I was amazed to find that I had over 9,000 images of Great Blue Herons in my computer folders. I know I will run across some photographs later on and say to myself: I should have included this one, or that one. I still take more photos each time I go to my lake. I can't help myself. Who knows if the next photo will teach me something else about these aptly named birds. I'm almost afraid to check my picture files for all the other species I have photographed. If all goes well with this offering, I may do other books on other species in at some point in the future.

Full of interviews with the artists who made some of the most memorable - and a few not-so-memorable - albums of the 1970s, the third book in The Vinyl Dialogues series by award-winning journalist Mike Morsch offers more backstories on the music of the decade as told by the artists themselves. Art Garfunkel details how a song written by his former partner Paul Simon made its way onto Garfunkel's solo album "Breakaway" and why the cover photo on that album is still special to him; Daryl Hall reveals what song on "The Silver Album" was considered for the theme song to one of the decade's most famous movies; Natalie Cole, in one of her last interviews, admits that she didn't think she was that great of a singer on her first album; Dionne Warwick confirms that she didn't initially like the song that would eventually become her only No. 1 hit after it appeared on an album by the Spinners; and Kinky Friedman reveals what it's like to fail at something long enough to become a legend. It's all here in "The Vinyl Dialogues Volume III: Stacks of Wax." So take a peek behind the curtain, dust off your wax collection and relive the soundtrack of your life.

Four years of labor-intensive research produced Ted's 8th book. This 300+ page tome pays homage to Philadelphia's oft-maligned, but always loved - Phillies. In 1915 the Phils won their first NL pennant (and they didn't win many more). This book commemorates the 100th anniversary of that magnificent fete. In here you'll find stuff you never suspected about guys who never knew even wore a Phillies uniform - but also plenty of info about the beloved stars of the past - Ashburn, Ennis, Roberts, Klein, Schmidt, Carlton, the Tugger and many more. Learn, enjoy and, yes, laugh at Taylor's insights (some in the persona of his alter ego, "The Glenside Kid") and share his experiences and observations about the 20th Century Phils. A team he knows very well. Buy a scorecard, get a hot dog and an orange drink and dig in, the fun is just beginning. Play Ball!! "...for the past 35 years or so, Taylor has been as important a name in Philadelphia baseball as Larry Shenk, Bill Giles, Whitey Ashburn, Harry Kalas, Ruly Carpenter, Allen Lewis, Jayson Stark or anyone else you care to list who hasn't officially worn a uniform...Ted Taylor has been involved in Philly area baseball in just about every way possible, and that includes as a college infielder, and prior to that, on the sandlots of Cheltenham Township, where he'd sometimes let a young kid named R. Jackson into the game..." - Baseball Author & Historian, John Shiffert

Why Shame on the Moon? The author explains that the moon's gravitational pull on the very core of our being can be likened to a thread that not only pushes and pulls the oceans of mother earth but also the vast depths of the oceans of our minds. Paul Dean Jackson recounts firsthand paranormal encounters, both troubling and joyous, from facing a poltergeist, to telepathic conversations with spirit totems. He explores the question of life after death while revealing long hidden psychic abilities he calls "the knowing." By unleashing his past, the author reveals private celebrity encounters that provide a joy ride for baby boomers and a history lesson for millennials. Even die hard sports fans will marvel at his journey from athlete to journalist. Shame on the Moon's seemingly outlandish suppositions, like the author's contention that he coined the phrase "May the Force be with you" long before Star Wars was even a thought, ripple throughout this compelling memoir like pebbles tossed into still water. Within these pages, you will discover the meaning of the Force and discern it is indeed with you, the reader...always.

Melek often heard people say, it's never too late to try a new skill. When it was least expected, Melek heard of a Writers group starting in her area she was eager to join. For years Melek has wanted to write but never had the opportunity until now. This is her first novel of a time long ago. "This story shows the heartaches of the time and place and how families intertwine through circumstances you could never imagine but held together by love. Three friends out for an adventurous journey bring back treasures. Little did they know what difference their finds would make to the lives of those in their own families and their community."

According to the author: "This is not exactly a book about history, or about teaching and learning methodologies, or educational theory and practice, or museum operations, or politics or revolution or the future. It's about all of these things, and more, because it's a book about people . . . It is supposedly about my experiences as a museum tour guide, but is really about what more than six decades of studying history with a purpose have taught me.

Chicago P.D., Homicide is broken up into four individual stories with a through line that unites them. No other family in the history of America has provided more solace to the surviving family members of homicide victims than the Morris family of Chicago which has furnished their fair city with four continuous generations of excellent and dedicated homicide detectives. In the first part of this four-part novel which is titled, "A Near Miss," homicide detective James Morris attempts to unravel the mysteries behind the prohibition era St. Valentine's Day Massacre. During his investigation, however, James learns more than cares to know about the widespread corruption which is all-encompassing during the years that Al Capone holds sway over the city of Chicago. "The Dumpster," is a gripping account of a nineteen fifties series of homicides that pits detective Peter Morris against a serial killer who has been practicing his evil craft on the North side of Chicago for months on end. "Dead and Covered up," is an intriguing narrative that takes place during the nineteen nineties that details the trials and tribulations of Detective Sergeant Paul Morris who must first weave his way through the maze of an incredible sub-plot before he ultimately begins to suspect that a fellow homicide detective may actually be a serial killer himself. "Vice and Virtue," is a 21st century adventure that delves deeply into the lives of some of the most brutal and violent members of the modern-day gangs that rove the city streets of Chicago where they are seemingly allowed to ply their evil trade at free will.

The new book by Mike Morsch features interviews with Rock luminaries such as Hall & Oates, Stevie Van Zandt, Dave Mason, Edgar Winter, Joe Vitale, The Doobie Brothers, Al Stewart and more. The Vinyl Dialogues offers the stories behind 31 of the top albums of the 70s, including backstories behind the albums, the songs, and the artists.****** It was the 1970s: Big hair, bell-bottomed pants, Elvis sideburns and puka shell necklaces. The drugs, the freedom, the Me Generation, the lime green leisure suits. And then there was the music and how it defined a generation. The birth of Philly soul, the Jersey Shore Sound and disco. It's all there in "The Vinyl Dialogues," as told by the artists who lived and made Rock and Roll history throughout the decade. Throw in a little political intrigue - The Guess Who being asked not to play its biggest hit, "American Woman," at a White House appearance and Brewer and Shipley being called political subversives and making President Nixon's infamous "enemies list" - and "The Vinyl Dialogues offers a first-hand snapshot of a country in transition, hung over from the massive cultural changes of the 1960s and ready to dress outrageously and to shake its collective booty. All seen through the eyes, recollections and perspectives of the artists who lived it and made all that great music on all those great albums.
