Benjey, Tom. Keep A-goin': The Life of
Lone Star Dietz. Tuxedo Press, 2006.
"Lone Star Dietz was one of the most colorful and capable personalities in
college football's fabled past, and Tom Benjey has made a major contribution to
the game's written
history with this long-overdue biography of Dietz." - Ray
Schmidt, College Football Historical Society.
"Tom Benjey has written engagingly about the
life and times of Lone Star Dietz, a notable football player and coach during
the first half of the past century. It is a fascinating tale of a skillful
player and innovative coach who made significant contributions to the game that
framed his life. Benjey's work, however, is much more than an interesting sports
story. It is a penetrating examination of triumphs and tragedies in the life of
a man confronted with daunting social and cultural obstacles. Benjey's biography
of Lone Star Dietz is full of insights about one man's search for personal
identity in a complex and confounding socio-cultural context. As such, it is a
memorable American story." - John J. Patrick, professor emeritus of
education.

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." -

Bond, Alma H., Ph.D. Camille Claudel, A Novel. Publish
America.
Camille
Claudel, A Novel, is the true-to-life story of a great sculptress driven
insane by a male-dominated society. Claudel lived for ten years with sculptor
Auguste Rodin, at first happily, but in a relationship that over time
deteriorated into hatred and psychosis on her part. Women in the 1800s were
often seen as second-class citizens in the worlds of business and art. Rarely do
the history books expose the severe impact of such a society on the female
psyche. Alma H. Bond, a psychologist who has written 11 nonfiction and fiction
works, is eminently qualified to write about Claudel's descent into insanity.
Her biographical novel offers a close look into the heart of a woman artist
ultimately rejected despite her genius.

"The
Gift is one woman's journey to find an

material sense a very short memoir at 100 pages but in a true sense it is
infinite. It is a work that deserves study and contemplation. Its multilayers of
understanding, of compassion and of discussion will make it a fiction legacy." -

"Stillbird
is a strangely powerful novel whose haunting almost surreal images, lyrical,
dreamlike prose and complexity will challenge the most sophisticated reader.
Divided into three parts, with each focusing on a specific character, the novel
encompasses different locations and timelines. Directly or indirectly, the
characters and their fates are darkly connected... Sanchez' writing style is
exquisite. Her flawless prose flows, sometimes beautiful, sometimes disturbing
but always memorably. Stillbird is a novel I highly recommended for the
serious reader." - Mayra Calvani, The Bloomsbury Review and The

and painful journey from her childhood in a rigid fundamentalist family to the

Newton, Leon. Terrorism 101: A Library Reference and
Selected Annotated Bibliography.

Today's
terrorists are often a part of a global network of highly sophisticated,
methodical, comprehensive, well funded terrorist organizations whose perversions
of their faiths allow them to justify even the most heinous of acts. Our
response to them must be global, sophisticated, methodical, comprehensive and
well funded. We have at our disposal an arsenal of the finest, most powerful
weapons available to fight terrorism - not bombs and bullets, but people expert
in diplomacy, intelligence gathering, computers, anthropology, economics,
communication, crisis management, arbitration, languages, foreign relations and
dozens of other fields. These experts can contribute to identifying, stopping
and preventing terrorism.

Alt, Jeff. A Hike for
Mike. Dreams Shared Publications, 2005.
Jeff
Alt, author of the award-winning A Walk For Sunshine, convinced his wife
Beth, a woman raised with the belief that vacations include hot showers,
beaches, and warm beds, to chuck her domesticated amenities and “Take a Hike” to
help her overcome the loss of her brother to suicide. Jeff had to spend quite a
bit of time convincing Beth that the hike would be romantic, skillfully leaving
out some minor details about the journey. They walked the 218-mile John Muir
Trail across California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range carrying all their
supplies on their backs and sleeping on the ground for weeks on end. Several
times along the way, Beth realized that she had been taken for “a ride” - or
rather, “a hike.” ForeWord Magazine's "Book of the Year" Award-Winning
