Art, coffee table and photography

Burgoyne, Marianne Harding, and Robert H. Burgoyne. Into the Okavango: The Africa Poems and Photographs. Burgoyne & Burgoyne Publishers, Paragon Press, 2005

Into the Okavango is a lavishly illustrated 500-photograph, 92-poem 12-inch by 13-inch coffee table book great for gift-giving. A finalist for four awards for excellence, it takes its readers on 23 days of safaris through Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, detailing first encounters with elephants, cheetahs, lions, leopards, hippopotamuses, crocodiles and more. The four-color photographs include Victoria Falls and Cape Point by helicopter. As the safaris get more dangerous, the camps more remote, the poet embarks on a darker, shadow journey to the sad, painful secrets of her soul not often visited. Rounding Cape Point proves to be a triumphant catharsis for the poet.

Griese, Noel L. Arthur W. Page: Publisher, Public Relations Pioneer, Patriot. Anvil Publishers.

Interested in public relations or book publishing? Arthur W. Page, regarded as the father or corporate public relations, had distinguished careers in both. He joined the publishing house of Doubleday, Page & Co. in 1905. He edited the World's Work magazine and was responsible for the nonfiction side of the book publishing business. He left in 1926 to become the first public relations vice president of AT&T, then America's largest corporation. Among other career highlights, he oversaw troop information for the Normandy Invasion, and wrote the news release announcing the first military use of the atom bomb at Hiroshima, selected by journalists as the most important story of the 20th century.

"Arthur Page, an in-house public relations adviser to AT&T from the 1920's through the 1940's, embraced the concept of good corporate citizenship and pushed AT&T to be open and honest in its press dealings. The tension between proponents of Bernays-like manipulation and Page-style transparency has existed in the business ever since." - Timothy L. O'Brien, New York Times, Feb. 13, 2005.

Fiction

Gaitis, James M. The Nation's Highest Honor. Kunati, 2009.

James Gaitis is an author of fiction and non-fiction, an editor, and a former trial lawyer and university academic.

"[Gaitis] manufactures a brave new world that runs with Marxian [as in the Marx Brothers] competence ... [He] illustrates [the desert] with Mahleresqued descriptions of the flora, fauna, and monsoons" - Foreword Magazine

"[A] quirky variation on the every-popular dystopian tune." - Booklist

"Call it a libertarian, Western guy's nightmare. James Gaitis' dystopia is a posttestosterone, govemment-Iooks-after-you world ... Gaitis, who lives in (and clearly appreciates) the Sonoran Desert, waxes lyrical when he re-creates this natural setting. Nature provides life lessons that society has failed, and nature could prove its savior in the end." - Tuscon Weekly

Shari confounds adults with her talk of reincarnation as a child and works with a hypnotist to validate it as an adult. She visits several previous lifetimes. Beyond Forever is not a biography. It is a novel, but much of the novel is based on true memories and dreams that cannot be easily explained away.

Abbott, Olyve Hallmark. A Ghost in the Guestroom: Haunted Texas Inns, B&Bs and Hotels. Atriad Press, 2007.

Scoop up a Texas map and plan an itinerary for a hauntingly fun visit to the inns, B&Bs, and hotels found in this book. So much of early Texas history lingers in these lovingly restored hostelries, along with a long-term resident ghost or two. Thoughtfully divided into seven regions, there's a place nearby, or one on your way to wherever you may want to go. Author Olyve Abbott has traveled the entire state seeking out fIrst-hand reports of hauntings, mysterious occurrences and tales of the just plain unexplainable, and she recounts it all in this entertaining read. Be prepared for anything: from a puff of smoke following you down the hall, to a guest you didn't expect joining you late at night. And should a lady in a polka-dot dress ask for directions to Room 36, don't be surprised when she disappears before you can answer her. If the paranormal intrigues you, these are the places you'll be most likely to find it.

Bivona, Ginnie, and Mitchel Whitington. Haunted Encounters: Departed Family and Friends. Atriad Press, 2005.

Some of the most emotional ghost stories involve family and friends who have departed from us in death, but pay an occasional visit to those who loved them most. This book will give you a tear on one page and a chuckle on the next as you share the intimate stories with the people who actually had the experiences. Although this is a book of ghost stories, it is a celebration of the lives of departed family and friends - both the one that they had on Earth, and the one that continues on in another realm.

Hall, Joan Upton. Ghostly Tales from American Jails. Atriad Press, 2007.

Curl up with 36 stories, complete with photos, of historical hoosegows from all over the United States. Each jail or prison is now a location for good guys like you to visit, transformed to museums, offices, a theater, even a B&B where the long-deceased sheriff locks up at night! Considering what happened in these facilities, no wonder a few sundry ghosts have lingered: prisoners destined to replay their misery or guards who never get to retire. Investigators of the paranormal seek verification by way of film, thermal readings, heart rates and electronic voice phenomena. But as several ghost hunter sites quote Derk Acorah: "To a believer, no proof is necessary. To a disbeliever, no proof is enough."
