Life is a marathon, a long drawn out battle with many ups and
downs. Life can become a marathon for those individuals, and anyone
connected with them, who enter the London Marathon every year.
"Life is a Marathon" is a humorous fictional story of seven wildly
different yet somehow connected individuals from the same small
town who take the plunge and enter the London Marathon for the
first time. You will find someone you can relate to amongst an
obsessive runner, an overweight jilted wife, an overworked young
mum, a powerful middle-aged business man, a gym junkie, a fun
loving party queen and a football mad jack the lad. Laugh as you
learn about their life stories and discover how they, however
tenuous, are all connected. Be inspired as you find out what it is
like to run in the greatest mass participation race on earth. You
may even be motivated by their reasons for running, which range
from selflessly raising money for charity to selfishly trying to
get on National television, to start running and enter the London
Marathon yourself.

A lively history of the Watch and Ward Society--New England's
notorious literary censor for over eighty years.
"Banned in Boston" is the first-ever history of the Watch and Ward
Society--once Boston's unofficial moral guardian. An influential
watchdog organization, bankrolled by society's upper crust, it
actively suppressed vices like gambling and prostitution, and
oversaw the mass censorship of books and plays. A spectacular romp
through the Puritan City, here Neil Miller relates the
scintillating story of how a powerful band of Brahmin moral
crusaders helped make Boston the most straitlaced city in America,
forever linked with the infamous catchphrase "banned in
Boston."
It was all routine even if hundreds of pounds of earth were
pressing down on their heads, even though the ceiling might
potentially collapse at any moment, even if they were surrounded by
a sea of darkness and had no idea what lay in front of them.
Award-winning author Neil Miller soon tells us that what lay in
front of amateur spelunkers Randy Tufts and Gary Tenen was anything
but routine. These young men had crawled into a virgin cave, a
landscape untouched and unseen for hundreds of thousands of years.
In cave terminology, this underground oasis was "living"--water
still seeped down the limestone walls, depositing minerals that
slowly built up into stunningly beautiful formations. In a time
when countless caves had been destroyed by vandals and looters who
had defaced the walls and had broken formations, this pristine
discovery was every caver's dream. While duplicating that moment
might seem difficult, this fascinating account of the fight to
preserve Kartchner Caverns lends us the same sense of awe and
urgency. In an arresting tale spanning the twenty-five-year period
in which Tufts and Tenen struggled to protect their find, Miller
skillfully weaves together personal interviews, biographical
information, political maneuvering, and geological facts. Presented
in full color with dazzling photographs showcasing the natural
wonder of the caverns, this is an invitation to take in the
mysterious, stunning beauty of a cave as if discovering it for the
first time. The triumph of the conservationists and the opening of
Kartchner Caverns as a state park are known to anyone who has
visited the caves as a tourist. But this narrative offers a chance
to go beyond the guidebooks with its revealing look at this
unspoiled natural wonder and the science of cave conservation. With
as much depth and colorful detail as the caverns themselves, this
page-turning account will captivate anyone interested in caves and
the preservation of natural wonders.
