ADMIT ONE: A JOURNEY INTO FILM by Emmett James: If you have ever truly loved a film, you will surely find yourself within these pages. Set in Croydon, South London, in the 1980s, ADMIT ONE details how self-deprecating writer Emmett James escaped from the pains of adolescence by going to the cinema. Through wry wit and observation, the writer reflects, obsesses, and rages about film and its correlation to our pasts. Life soon imitates art, and the narrator finds that his true calling is in transcendence from one side of the screen to the other. He decides to leave England for the only place where he can realize his dream of becoming an actor: Hollywood. Admit One

LEGERDEMAIN by James J. Heaphey: is the true story that takes the author, an undercover US Air Force agent in 1950's Morocco, through the alleyways and bathhouses of Casablanca, the exotic Arabian Nights-like Fair in Marrakesch, the settings of the privileged in Cairo and the hillside villages of Cyprus. The story unveils the workings of MI6, the CIA, French Security Force, the Moassad and the KGB.

PURSUIT OF LIGHT by Sandy Brewer: shares the insights that have allowed the author to come out of the shadow of a brutalized life into one of robust success, fulfillment and love. It's a universal message. It doesn't matter what got our baggage to weigh heavy on our backs. Whether it comes from abuse, or loss, or "I can't let go of the guy/gal that just dumped me," or "I just am not that thrilled about being me," it's all the same sludge. How we deal with it in the now will determine not only how we experience today, but how we lead ourselves into our future. Pursuit of Light

WHY THE WIND BLOWS by Matthys Levy: The author of best-selling books "Why Buildings Fall Down" and "Why the Earth Quakes" now tackles the science of global warming. In easily understandable prose and true stories of exploration, WHY THE WIND BLOWS looks at how these adventures were influenced by weather and man's ignorance of its consequences. The science of meteorology is gently interspersed throughout the text, so that understanding weather becomes an integral part of the stories. Concluding with the influence of modern civilization on the changing climate and its world-altering consequences, the author challenges the reader to take action now to alter the effects of global warming on future generations.

PREDICTING TECHNOLOGY by Thomas E. Vass: describes how entrepreneurs, scientists and engineers with new product ideas can predict the direction of technological innovation. The hypothesis of the book is that technological innovation creates new markets. New markets generate new income flows, which will benefit entrepreneurs who start new ventures. The basic force at work in technological innovation is competition over income, not prices. The book applies a biological metaphor to economic theory to explain how technology evolves in products, and describes how a very rare evolutionary event called a "macro-economic bifurcation" occurs. The theory outlined in the book provides useful practical guidance to elected local leaders who want to stimulate regional economic growth in their community. Predicting Technology
