Poetry are words that come from within us. We as individuals should learn to see these words as something unique. Life is filled with good things and bad things. We could never expect life to be 100 percent perfect because then we would be living in a perfect world and we all know that there is no such thing as a perfect world or a perfect life. Life is like a carnival ride that goes up and down and we must learn to forgive, forget, leave all the problems behind us and look forward every time and everyday of our lives. Life is short, lets be happy, live, learn and never give up and I assure you that there is gold at the end of the tunnel. We must believe in ourselves, in our accomplishments and never be sad or unhappy because we have the greatest gift that God has given us and that is life my friend. So, lets never give up and remember what doesn't kill you will only make us stronger.

All of my life I've been a jack of all trades and master of none sometimes to my own detriment. I have abilities and talent that required study and development. For some reason or turn in life, I never took the chance to fully develop as a singer, instrumentalist, commercial artist, cartoonist, comedian, or actor. I love the arts but never could settle on one field. Nor put in the work and study required to excel in either category. I also love the world of business; always imagining myself as a man in charge. I attribute that to my Leo sign. As a Dept. of Defense employee, career success was realized by beginning as a Supply Clerk and retiring as Director of Small Purchase. In self-employment ventures, I had the ideas and skills but lacked the funding. I also found my interest varied as an entrepreneur. I love the service aspect of business, especially helping people. Yet, I am always drawn back to the arts. Those varied experiences, compelling interest and parental inherited common sense led me to writing social commentary. Whether it's humorous or serious political commentary, my perspective differs from the norm.

America - land of opportunity - nation of immigrants. There is a special magic to America. It comes from the diversity of its people. Like the characters in Tracks they come from all over - places like Guadalajara, Chapala, Chihuahua and Zacatecas, Mexico, Kirkaldy, Scotland, Barnmeen, Ireland, Copenhagen, Denmark, disputed territory in the shadow of Mt. Ararat in the Caucasus Mountain Range, Bremerhaven, Germany, and Padua, Italy. In 1919, when young Pedro Figueroa and Antonio Flores were refused seats to a travelling Shakespearian and Broadway show on a Saturday night in a saloon in Socorro, New Mexico, the lead actor stopped the show and took them aside. He offered these words of encouragement: "You boys got to do the same things my folks did. Work hard. Raise a family. Make sure your kids get to school. Your day will come. This is a great country. Look, we got rid of slavery. Things get better all the time. Lives are lived in stages. Look at the caterpillar, crawling about, making little tracks on the ground, and then it''s into a cocoon, and before long, it''s flying about, a butterfly." Tracks is a testament to the spirit of immigrants who come to America and make it a better place.

Roy Adams has written eight books and hundreds of editorials and articles during the course of his writing career, but through it all has said very little about his background and formative years. In this memoir, he goes there, catching up the reader on some of the most arresting behind-the-scenes experiences of his life. You will read, for example, about the night God used a small army of cockroaches to bring him to a pivotal decision of his life; and about the frightening moments at a British Columbia border near Vancouver, where, with 33 cents left in his pocket, he came close to being refused entry into Canada-and all this after a harrowing journey from the Caribbean and an anxious, close-to-starvation five-day ride across the United States by Greyhound Bus. Looking back on his arrival in Canada after so many perils-and remembering that the following day he''d thrown those last 33 cents into the offering plate at church--Adams says in the book: "So here I was in a strange country without a single red penny in my pocket! Nothing! It was a defining moment. For it wasn''t simply that I didn''t have one red penny in my pocket; it was also that I had no money whatsoever, anywhere. Penniless in a new country! In retrospect, it scares the daylight out of me. Who else but God could pull off a thing like that! ... it makes me tremble--still." From a humble beginning in the Caribbean, Adams has traveled to every continent (except Antarctica), working as a pastor, seminary professor, and speaker. For the final two decades of his ministry, he served as associate editor of Adventist Review & Adventist World, international publications of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Caribbean compatriots will relate to Adams'' description of his early years, with its many practices, customs, and superstitions. Readers in Canada will engage with his fascinating references to his student and pastoral-ministry days in that northern country. People in Central America, South Amer

"[Fidelio] is a trendsetter, and this book of poems reflects the notion that poetry is evolving. These poems are performance based, and it is delightful to see the interspersing of Valley Spanish reflecting the rich Hispanic culture which is so much a part of the Valley tradition. To see a new genre of poetry emerging from the soul of a Valley native ignites a spark of hope for our Hispanic authors and poets. Fidelio guides us through those vulnerable first tenacious moments of a relationship to its painful termination, and finally, the knowledge that one can survive and flourish from having been involved with another person. Beautifully executed and poignant in its portrayal, this book of poems evokes the memories of early love relationships and unrequited lovers. Fidelio has captured the heart and soul of lost innocence and recovery from a love gone amok." -Kathleen Carroll, Ed.D. Grito is a unique collection of poetry reflecting the people and culture of deep South Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, where every soul is unique, and folks march to the beat of their own drum and speak in their own native tongue in a Tex-Mex kind of way. From early poems of adolescent angst to the discovery of Latin machismo to falling under the spell of puro South Texas love, each of these poems abandons the rules of uniformity. The Latin voices of this region, with their vibrato and singsong beat, make up their own iambic pentameter, and the poems featured in Grito take a transcendental, judgmental, experimental, and sentimental look at the poet''s own life from teenager to young adult.

In 1744, the Adventure of a Lifetime Awaits! In the mid-1700s, anyone who wanted to embrace the promise of the New World had to face leaving everything familiar behind, as well as enduring months of dangerous sea travel. Banister-The New World is an epic historical novel about Elizabeth and James, a young Irish-English couple who find the courage to travel to the American colonies. They take a Spanish ship into the unknown, with faith that they can make their way together. But fate has triumphs, tragedies, and adventures in store for them that they could never have imagined. Banister-The New World takes place against the gritty, thrilling backdrop of King George''s War and the early French and Indian Wars, putting James and Elizabeth among a cast of characters ranging from Benjamin Franklin to an Iroquois tribe, and throwing challenges at them that range from learning to live off the land to fending off Indian attacks. This gripping, richly written novel is a journey that will stay with you long after the final page is turned.

Along with all manner of European-American immigrants to North America''s Great Plains in the nineteenth century - farmers, miners, gamblers, soldiers, trappers, and many others - came hunters of dinosaur bones. Word had reached some of American archeology''s best-known names that a rich trove of ancient bones lay on Sioux (Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota) land. Paleontologists, including Othniel Charles Marsh (1831-1899), pioneer of American vertebrate paleontology, may have been illegally trespassing while exploring and collecting fossils on Indian lands. The search was on, and soon academic reputations were being built on fossils taken from Native lands and peoples, often without their consent. These fossil-collecting exploits helped build the foundation for the Peabody Museum of Yale University, and others, as the "golden age" of paleontology unfolded using fossil resources taken from Lakota lands and peoples. Lawrence W. Bradley, who was raised by an Oglala Lakota stepfather, brings this story to life from a Native point of view. This is fascinating reading, told the first time, as he calls for "a new concept of physical geography" that "exposes indigenous paleontology resource dispossession and allows paleontology to conscientiously advance into the twenty-first century."

Isaacson University Research Professor School of Communication and Native American Studies University of Nebraska at Omaha Johansen is the author of The Encyclopedia of the American Indian Movement (Greenwood, 2013), and other works.

Dear Reader: I hope that you enjoyed reading this book. I have truly enjoyed putting my thoughts and life experiences on paper. I am sure you will not agree with all that has been written, but my hope is that you will be able to take something away from this book that will help you along the way. I am not a preacher, nor a pastor, but I am simply a woman of God with a few life lessons under her belt and I wanted to give a spiritual lift to those in need. Just as we need references for a job, or we go to the library to look up information, I want this book to be a book you pick back up after you have read it as a reference tool on those down days. This book is not only intended to be read by adults, but it is also a great read for the young adults. Today the world is constantly changing around us and we sometimes can't seem to get a grasp on things no matter how hard we try. Therefore, we all can benefit from hearing or reading encouraging words to let us know we are not alone and that God has not forgotten about us!

This will change how you look at everything! Shaped by her yogic practices, Annajoy carries on an elegant meditative dance with the unremarkable trivial events occurring during her daily life in Amsterdam. Using imagination and reverie, she discovers mysterious minidramas enacted by characters more cleverly disguised than revelers during Carnival. In her evolved consciousness, Amsterdam becomes an art gallery, funhouse and more-than-human community, where meaning is a daily event, and oases of mood catapult her into moments of ecstasy. Despite courageous efforts to share these mystical experiences, Annajoy tragically fails to inspire others to explore this unsuspected dimension of daily life. Will her rationally-inclined husband hack deep enough into the mystery of trivial events to assist her? Could her city help? Or must Annajoy live surrounded by people who see Amsterdam as a den of ordinary streets and canals, littered with meaningless trivia gesturing in the wind? Here is a story of bold creation, imaginative genius and Spirit hiding beneath the humble disguises of the mundane. It is a story of one woman crossing a spiritual frontier that offers a glimpse, not only of her and her city but, as in Escher's ball, an unusual view of ourselves and the cities we live in.

"We were both born during or shortly after, a disastrous US-wide depression. We were both the youngest child in our families. We were seventeen and twenty one years old when married.
