Macon to Manassas a novel by John Wayne Dobson and Walter Kevin
Sark. It was edited by Edward DeVries. Kevin and John were born in
and are life-long residents of Macon, Georgia. Both have known The
Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior for much of their lives. They
are close friends and veteran re-enactors of The 16th GA, Co. G
Infantry Re-enactment Company, "The Jackson Rifles." The book was a
20-year labor of love dedicated to the Confederate companies that
were raised in the authors' native Macon. 23 Confederate combat
units were raised during the course of the War from Macon. At War's
end, there were not enough survivors to muster 7 companies. With so
many men from Macon giving their lives for "The Cause," the authors
wanted to write a novel that would not only be good reading, but
also tell the story of the brave and honorable men from Macon.
Those who survived the war, and those who did not.

Essentially, this is a story of hope, faith and love. These pages
expose a war with cancer in a humorous, while brutally honest
manner. The story is laid out in a sequential format representing
the events as they occur. It details the immediate and ongoing
trials triggered by the disease as seen through the eyes of a
married couple, John and Georgetta Warner.
As treatments fail and different medications are employed in the
conflict, John and Georgetta write about how they are changed by
the ever shifting face of cancer. They come to appreciate the value
of time, friends and family as they continue to maintain control in
an uncontrollable situation.
The Tiwanaku state was the political and cultural center of ancient
Andean civilization for almost 700 years. Identity and Power is the
result of ten years of research that has revealed significant new
data. Janusek explores the origins, development, and collapse of
this ancient state through the lenses of social identities--gender,
ethnicity, occupation, for example--and power relations. He
combines recent developments in social theory with the
archaeological record to create a fascinating and theoretically
informed exploration of the history of this important civilization.

Nearly a millennium before the Inca forged a pan-Andean empire in
the South American Andes, Tiwanaku emerged as a major center of
political, economic, and religious life on the mountainous southern
shores of Lake Titicaca. Tiwanaku influenced vast regions of the
Andes and became one of the most important and enduring
civilizations of the pre-Columbian Americas. Yet for centuries, the
nature and antiquity of Tiwanaku remained a great mystery. Only
over the past couple of decades has archaeological research begun
to explore in depth the fascinating character of Tiwanaku culture
and the way of life of its people. Ancient Tiwanaku synthesizes a
wealth of past and current research on this fascinating
high-altitude civilization. In the first major synthesis on the
subject in nearly fifteen years, John Wayne Janusek explores
Tiwanaku civilization in its geographical and cultural setting,
tracing its long rise to power, vast geopolitical influences, and
violent collapse.

John Wayne was more than a movie star. He was a symbol for
everything good and decent about America, inspiring everyday people
to reach just a little bit more and try a little bit harder. During
his 72 years and more than 150 movies, John Wayne imparted a
seemingly-endless amount of advice, wisdom and good old-fashioned
common sense to his fans. In The John Wayne Code, that wealth of
knowledge has been collected together for the first time by the
people who loved and knew him best - his family and the editors of
the Official John Wayne Collector's Edition Magazine. Filled with
Duke's most insightful quotes, personal stories from his family and
friends, full-color photos, and advice for how to be a better
person, this stunning, gift-worthy book makes the perfect companion
for any John Wayne fan who wants to make their life a little more
legendary.
This beautiful book is a celebration of John Wayne and the films he
made. Filled with illuminating insights and behind-the-scenes
stories, this book details all 169 of Duke's movies, from long
forgotten gems to Hollywood classics that made John Wayne into the
world's biggest movie star. You'll also find hundreds of gorgeous
full-color and black-and-white photos from the set, along with
movie posters, lobby cards, costumes, collectibles and more,
including a number of full-spread photos that showcase Duke in all
his wide-screen glory. Ann-Margret, the legendary actress and Duke
co-star, provides a foreword, while Leonard Maltin, one of the
country's most respected, recognizable film critics, provides an
afterword. For general movie fans or die-hard Duke-lovers, this
book is a fantastic showcase of a film legend and his work.
