'Two throughout Eight' is a different kind of novel, strategically
adjutant from the first book entitled 'One throughout Eight.' An
enlightening metaphysical treatise, Kevin Jon Klause shows us the
struggle of life depicted with a mixture of deities and powerful
people. The most brilliant people are the victors. Only they will
enjoy the best life has to offer.
Amid a childhood steeped in tragedy, murder, and abuse clouded
by the family's alcoholism and inner demons, one boy, crowned with
an innate gift imposed on him by the miracle of human creation, at
the age of fourteen, separates himself from the family ignominies
and to stave off poverty. He is determined to override and erase
the memory of his abusers and his grandfather's debacle and the
tragedy that resulted from it--his self-confidence prevails. The
combination of forbidding and bliss convey a diverse story: from a
group of religious people who sexually abused him, to the center of
the glamorous celebrity world, to Mother Nature that, in a
spectacular display, demonstrated his future, and how he comes to
meet the President of America, Pope John XXIII, the King of
Thailand, and numerous Hollywood luminaries.
This first biography of John Erskine views him in the larger
contexts of the mass culture and expanded commercialism that helped
propel his fame. It also relates a life narrative that demonstrates
perils of academic celebrity along a conceptual path from public
intellectual to pop icon.

Manfred von Richthofen is widely known as the famous pilot who
achieved an incredible eighty aerial victories, eclipsing all other
aces of World War I. He became a living legend not only to the

and affectionately referred to him as the Red Baron.
In "Attack Out of the Sun: Lessons from the Red Baron for Our
Business and Personal Lives," author Dr. Durwood J. Heinrich
explores the life of Richthofen, a man who lived to be only
twenty-five years old but who still had a tremendous impact on the
lives of many. Heinrich examines the Red Baron's personality,
technical skills, management style, leadership ability, strategies,
and undaunted determination.

From colorful threads found on the floor of an ancient Georgian
cave to the Indian calicoes that fueled the Industrial Revolution,
The Golden Thread illuminates the myriad and fascinating histories
behind the cloths that came to define human civilization-the
fabric, for example, that allowed mankind to shatter athletic
records, and the textile technology that granted us the power to
survive in space. Exploring the enduring association of textiles
with "women's work," Kassia St. Clair "spins a rich social history
. . . that also reflects the darker side of technology" (Rachel
Newcomb, Washington Post).
Elometer returns from the hospital only to discover that she can no
longer hear the voices of her friends and family. In fact, she
can't hear anything at all.
It's hard enough for a young girl to deal with such a loss, but
things get even worse when her stern family takes her out of school
and hides her from the outside world. The playmates she manages to
keep wildly gesture and even throw things to get her attention,
alienating her even further.
Eventually, Elometer stops fantasizing about one day having her
hearing return, and she takes steps to thrive in a world that
misunderstands her and treats her differently. But her spirit and
determination enable her to succeed.
Take a peek into a world that millions of deaf and
hard-of-hearing people must live in every day and be inspired by a
woman who doesn't let anyone or anything hold her back in A Journey
Beyond Silence. That a little deaf girl who was kept isolated and
hidden for twenty years was able to marry, have children and
succeed as a seamstress in New York City is remarkable.
The first time in paperback, this book is a personal biography of
the beloved star of Casablanca. Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982) was
perhaps best known for her roles in Casablanca and Notorious, but
she won three Oscars for Gaslight, Anastasia, and Murder on the
Orient Express, and was a seven-time nominee. She also won two Emmy
Awards and a Tony. In 1949, though married and a mother, she fell
in love with director Roberto Rossellini and conceived a child with
him. Her fans were shocked and she was denounced on the floor of
the U.S. Senate. Chandler interviewed Bergman, Roberto Rossellini,
Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Cary Grant, Michelangelo
Antonioni, Federico Fellini, and Gregory Peck for the book, which
contains synopses of all her films, including the Swedish ones.
