We were never in any danger except while on the small roads in Wales. Nothing was lost, aside from our appetite for eggs. No one fell ill, but we neared starvation on our first day as we tried to understand the British restaurant business hours. Join us as we 'Mind the Gap' on the Tube and visit Scotland without eating haggis.

Heartache and humor dance across pages filled with life's trials and rewards. Connie Moore To have a large family and to see the world were seemingly impossible dreams for a young girl growing up in a small New England town. But dreams do come true. Connie Moore, lecturer, teacher, author, wife of a Navy career man, and mother of seven children has done both. She traveled widely living in the north, south, east, and western parts of the United States, and overseas in Guam, Japan, and Australia.

This offbeat memoir recounts the odyssey of a sixty-year-old mother and her seventeen-year-old son who hit the road for his junior year.

In August, 2002, the pair left St. Louis in a 1987 Volkswagen van to wander up the Mississippi into Canada, across to Newfoundland, down through New England, deep into southern Mexico, ending their journey in the high country of Colorado. This provocative tale of foibles and family, astonishment, missteps, and magical moments challenges preconceptions about education, freedom, and necessities for a good life.

By turns funny, poignant, and heart-warming, "Learn As We Go: Roadschooling My Son" is about a young man on the brink of adulthood peering into the world, and a mother insisting on doing his schooling her way. It is also about survival, relative sanity, and compassion in very close quarters. Most of all, it is about having a great time no matter where the road leads.

Steve Russo's book advises those who are planning a visit to Disney World to savor the small moments-at Disney, a series of little moments can stream together to make one great memory. And those memories will last a lifetime.

Unfortunately, planning a Disney World vacation can be quite involved and probably more than a little overwhelming. The tact taken in this book is a bit different than most; by offering experience and wisdom it will make planning your next Disney vacation a bit less stressful and, hopefully, will entertain you in the process.

As Russo says, the months of planning and reliving the trip are just as much a part of your Disney experience as the trip itself. So savor all the moments, both good and bad because it's all part of the magic; and Steve Russo's book shows you how to do it right

Doug and Mary Powell have three children, all married, and four grandchildren giving a family circle of twelve. In this book we meet seven of them. Two live in California but for the others this was their first visit to America. We read about the people they met, the places they visited, the laughs they had. It's a happy, relaxed story with fascinating comparisons between the American and British ways of life.

This all started as a private personal diary, a written record to accompany the mountain of photos Mary took. Then Doug wondered if the family might also like to read it. He showed what he was doing to his cousin Maury, a retired newspaper editor, who immediately saw the potential. "This is good stuff. It deserves a much wider audience than just the family. Carry on writing, finish the draft, then take it to a publisher."

So here it is.

Designed for anyone who wants to understand the challenges facing us after the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and in light of the conflict in the Middle East in 2003, Jihad Vs McWorld examines the conflicts of the modern world. Political scientist Benjamin R. Barber offers a penetrating analysis of the central conflict of our times: consumerist capitalism versus religious and tribal fundamentalism. These diametrically opposed but intertwined forces are tearing apart - and bringing together - the world as we know it, undermining democracy and the nation-state on which it depends. On the one hand, capitalism on the global level is rapidly dissolving the social and economic barriers between nations, transforming the world's diverse populations into a blandly uniform market. On the other hand, ethnic, religious, and racial hatreds are fragmenting the political landscape into smaller and smaller tribal units. Jihad versus Mcworld is the term that Barber has coined to describe the powerful and paradoxical interdependence of these forces, and in this volume he explores the alarming repercussions of this potent dialectic, sketching a democratic response to terrorism.
