Jareem was a big-city man-on-the-move with a passion for live music, women and most importantly God. Jenise was a pastor's daughter with the beauty of a goddess, a fun-loving spirit, a deep sense of honor and duty - and the alter-ego of a diva. Their six-year journey from meeting to marriage was a long, winding, and often bumpy road filled with breakups, makeups, and life lessons that helped them bring each other to emotional maturity and stability. They seemed to be guided back into each other's loving embrace time and again by some kind of divine destiny, but it took many arduous efforts for them to realize that each of them held the missing pieces needed to complete and fulfill the life and heart of the other. This story is Jareem's tribute to his wife. Share with them all of the joys, the struggles, the laughter, and the tears it took for them to realize a rare brand of genuine and extraordinary love, shared by two of God's children who never gave up on each other - and never will.

Lady in Red, Where is Your Head? by first-author Carolann deBellis, tells the story of a woman who survived a brain injury and a coma after a car accident on an icy New Jersey Turnpike in 1987, when she was 34. Carolann had it all, the perfect life, before the accident-a great job at a hot Philadelphia salon, a passionate 12-year marriage and a wide circle of friends and family who marveled at her energy and infectious spirit. Then, in the aftermath of the near-death accident, she lost it all-job, husband and sense of self. After learning to walk, talk and cut hair again, she faced the life-long task of going beyond recovery, beyond recreating the person she was before the accident to aspire for something better. Psychological counseling and the support of a loving circle of family and friends helped her to see that all was not perfect before the accident, helped her redefine a new Carolann, a work in progress who's less self absorbed and more self aware, less controlling and more open in her relationships with men in her life. If it weren't for the imperative, painful job of remaking herself physically, cognitively and emotionally from a child-like state after the accident, Carolann might never have undertaken the intense personal journey that leads her today, at 57, to say I thank God my brain injury cured me. More than a conventional memoir or self-help guide, Lady in Red stitches together Carolann's own words, a diary that her cousin Michael Biello wrote during her coma and rehabilitation, hospital documents, notes from nurses and visitors and Carolann's collection of inspirational quotes. I wrote and rewrote this book over 20 years to help others who have suffered or know someone who has suffered a brain injury, Carolann says.

This book is a philosophical study of the relations between hearing and thinking about music. The central problem it addresses is as follows: how is it possible to talk about what a listener perceives in terms that the listener does not recognize? By applying the concepts and techniques of analytic philosophy the author explores the ways in which musical hearing may be described as nonconceptual, and how such mental representation contrasts with conceptual thought. The author is both philosopher and musicologist and uniquely combines the perspectives of both disciplines. Exploring the philosophical questions of mental representation in the relatively neglected, nonverbal domain of music, this study is a major contribution to the philosophical understanding of music perception and cognitive theory.
