A Traveler's Journey

Hope Through Depression and Anxiety And Finding Out We're All in This Together

By: Bob Purnell

“A Traveler's Journey” is a collection of insights, shared thoughts, experiences and lessons learned from journeying thru adult life with depression and anxiety. It is my fervent hope and prayer that these shared experiences and reflections will offer some light, hope, encouragement and empowerment to other people who have walked a similar Path. We Are All In This Together. We all have, not just problems, but serious issues. We aren't alone. May this offering point you toward a happier, more connected, state of emotions and mind. May you be encouraged to search for a Higher Power and reach out to others. Each one of us is different, but we all have a unique package of gifts to offer. Lastly, may this be an encouragement for you to love yourself and live in self compassion and inner harmony. Please keep a Light inside your heart and mind, even a small but sure one, every day. It'll sustain you, I promise. May God bless you and walk along with you. And, We're All In This- Together. Bob.

Prisoners of War

Europe: 1939-1956

By: Bob Moore

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Prisoners of War

Europe: 1939-1956

By: Bob Moore

The Second World War between the European Axis powers and the Allies saw more than twenty million soldiers taken as prisoners of war. While this total is inflated by the unconditional surrender of all German forces in Europe on 8 May 1945, it nonetheless highlights the fact that captivity was one of the most common experiences for all those in uniform - even more common than frontline service. Despite this, and the huge literature on so many aspects of the war, prisoner of war histories have remained a separate and sometimes isolated element in the wider national chronicles of the conflict constructed in the post war era. Prisoners of every nationality had their own narratives of military service and captivity. While it is impossible to encompass their collective histories, let alone the individual experiences of all twenty million prisoners in a single volume, Bob Moore uses a series of case studies to highlight the key elements involved and to introduce, analyse, and refine some of the major debates that have arisen in the existing historiography. The study is divided into three broad sections: captivity in Eastern and Western Europe during the war itself, comparative studies of specific categories of prisoners, and the repatriation and reintegration of prisoners after the war.

Journeys on the Edge

A Burmese Quest

By: Bob Anderson

On February 1st, 2021 tanks appeared on the streets of Burmese cities and the people of Burma are once again involved in a seemingly endless struggle for justice and democracy waged against a brutal military regime. Journeys on the Edge traces the growth of Mobile Education Partnerships, an educational charity built from scratch by teachers, which became an international award-winning organisation. It is, in fact, an adventure on many levels, physical, emotional and spiritual. MEP works with communities ‘on the edge’ many displaced by war, poverty and oppression inside Burma (aka Myanmar) and on the Thai/Burma border. Importantly, this is not a sentimental presentation of ‘victimhood’ but a very candid, sympathetic and human exploration of how an organisation was built in these challenging circumstances. Neither is it a handbook on how to build a charity. It does, however, offer a ground-level guide to anyone who wishes to go down that road. This is a story which provides a fascinating insight into this tragic, violent and at times bizarre world drawing on the lives of those directly involved, the volunteers, the refugees, the migrants, the warlords and those of us searching for something to believe in, in a world where the truth is elusive and the central message of Shakespeare, that nothing is as it appears to be, serves as a warning to all.

Borchert Field

Stories from Milwaukee’s Legendary Ballpark

By: Bob Buege

Someone lucky enough to live on Milwaukee’s near north side between 1888 and 1952 could experience the world without ever leaving the neighborhood. Nestled between North Seventh and Eighth Streets and West Chambers and Burleigh, Borchert Field was Milwaukee’s major sports venue for 64 years. In this rickety wooden stadium (originally called Athletic Park), Wisconsin residents had a close-up view of sports history in the making, along with rodeos, thrill shows, and even multiple eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. In Borchert Field, baseball historian Bob Buege introduces the famous and fascinating athletes who dazzled audiences in Milwaukee’s venerable ballpark. All the legendary baseball figures—the Bambino, Satchel Paige, Ty Cobb, Joltin’ Joe, Jackie Robinson, the Say Hey Kid—played there. Olympic heroes Jim Thorpe, Babe Didrikson, and Jesse Owens displayed their amazing talents in Borchert. Knute Rockne’s Fighting Irish competed there, and Curly Lambeau’s Green Bay Packers took the field 10 times. Buege tells stories of other monumental moments at Borchert as well, including a presidential visit, women ballplayers, the arrival of television broadcasting, the 1922 national balloon race, and an appearance by scat-singing bandleader Cab Calloway. Borchert Field is long gone, but every page of this book takes readers back to the sights, sounds, and spectacle of its heyday.

Before the Fires

An Oral History of African American Life in the Bronx from the 1930s to the 1960s

By: Mark Naison,Bob Gumbs

Residents of the South Bronx during its promising postwar decades tell their stories in their own words. In the 1930s, word spread in Harlem that there were spacious apartments for rent in the Morrisania section of the Bronx. Landlords, desperate to avoid foreclosure, began putting signs in windows and placing ads in New York’s black newspapers that said “We rent to select colored families”—by which they meant those with a securely employed wage earner and light complexions. Black families moved in by the score, beginning a period in which the Bronx served as a borough of hope and upward mobility. Chronicling a time when African Americans were suspended between the best and worst possibilities of New York City, Before the Fires tells the personal stories of men and women who lived in the South Bronx before the social and economic decline of the late 1960s. Located on a hill overlooking a large industrial district, Morrisania offered migrants from Harlem, the South, and the Caribbean an opportunity to raise children in a neighborhood with better schools, strong churches, more shopping, less crime, and clean air. It also boasted vibrant music venues, giving rise to such titans as Herbie Hancock, Eddie Palmieri, Valerie Simpson, the Chantels, and Jimmy Owens. Rich in detail, these interviews describe growing up and living in communities rarely mentioned in other histories. Before the Fires captures the optimism of the period—as well as the heartache of what was lost in the urban crisis and the burning of the Bronx. “Excellent . . . profound, moving.” —Robert W. Snyder, Rutgers University, Newark

Squaretail

The Definitive Guide to Brook Trout and Where to Find Them

By: Bob Mallard

Brook trout are native in the Eastern United States and were the most important fly rod gamefish for early anglers, until they were supplanted by nonnative brown and rainbow trout. Today, brook trout are indicators of cold, clean water and healthy ecosystems, and in almost every place they are found, anglers will also find wild country and relative solitude. They have been introduced throughout the Rocky Mountains, where they grow large and abundant. This is the most complete guide to brook trout ever written and not only includes information on tackle and techniques but important conservation information and an in-depth section on top brook trout destinations, from Maine to Argentina. With a foreword by Ted Williams.

When the Babe Went Back to Boston

Babe Ruth, Judge Fuchs and the Hapless Braves of 1935

By: Bob LeMoine

Babe Ruth was 40 and flabby in 1935. His days as a strapping, fearsome home run hitter were behind him. Baseball had flourished into big business through Ruth's swing and swag and didn't need him anymore. His dream was to become a manager but the New York Yankees--a dynasty he helped build--were not interested. But someone wanted him. Judge Emil Fuchs, luckless president of the Boston Braves, had lost a fortune on his perpetually losing team. Desperate to save the club from collapse, he needed Babe Ruth--not the fading slugger but the most famous brand on the planet. This book chronicles the Ruth and Fuchs partnership during a perplexing 1935 season with the 38-115 Braves--truly one of the worst baseball teams in history--along with Ruth's final games, back in the city where he debuted.

Baby Grand

By: Bob Bachner

“A stylishly structured and poetically described family tale… elegantly written.” –KIRKUS REVIEWS Lila Grand, born Lina Granatelli, faces an unbearable choice when Willie Burke, the love of her life, tells her that her baby daughter, Gloria, can’t live with them in Manhattan after they are married. Pressured by Willie, her family and her priest, Lila gives in, and Gloria is taken by Lila’s mother across the river in Brooklyn. When World War II begins, Willie is stationed in California and takes Lila with him. A year later, Lila’s mother dies, and a distraught Lila allows her brother and sister-in-law to take Gloria to St. Louis as their own child. When Willie finds out he is sterile, he persuades Lila to go to Court to take back Gloria, now eight, who believes the brother and his wife are her parents. Can Lila’s determination win Gloria’s love?

Outdoors Guy - L.O.L.

Loving Outdoor Living

By: Bob Purnell

Outdoors Guy L.O.L. is an introduction to the Outdoors and features articles on the subjects of Camping, Fishing, and Survival. It covers a wide variety of topics. It is intended to give the reader extensive, PRACTICAL and immediately useable knowledge, strategies and techniques. It focuses on safety, pro-active planning with a view to prevention of emergency situations which could have been avoided, and information about how to respond in a prepared, informed, and confident manner should outdoors challenges arise. Part of the practicality of the book concerns the ability to improvise- how to use what the environment has to offer in creating shelters, choosing sites which offer advantages for setting up emergency camps, and how to use simple materials to create tools for use in cooking, gathering water, weather-proofing shelters, keeping warm, crafting furniture and setting up complete campsites with improvised materials. Hiking and canoe trips are highlighted with advice on preparation and intelligent balancing of weight and available space. Advice for care and storage of camping equipment is included. The major focus for Camping is Improvisation- how to create what you need. The book is not intended for campers who use large Campers and mobile homes. It definitely leans towards campers who "rough it" in the wild. Thus 3 articles give suggestions for how to improvise, followed by how to scavenge for materials that can be used in a variety of situations and practical ways- to how to set up an entire camp (if need be) with scavenged materials- to completely "furnish" a camp with a makeshift stove, washing machine, cooler, shower, heater, bed, chairs/benches, and storage. The Fishing section offers information and strategies for choosing equipment and lures, explains seasonal movements of fish and structure/cover they relate to (where to find fish depending on time of day and season), techniques used for pike, walleyes, Small and Large Mouth Bass, Stream Trout, Carp, Salmon, Rainbow and Brown Trout during migration, Panfish. Practical advice for Tackle Care is outlined in one article. There is a special article on Ice Fishing which features preparation and safety considerations and precautions which must be taken given extreme weather. Extensive information is given regarding rods, reels, line, and terminal tackle appropriate to each species of fish and a wide variety of specific fishing situations. There is a detailed description of fly-fishing and Bait Casting. This section covers broad spectrum of species, specialized techniques, equipment, and numerous tips to improve fishing success. The Survival section addresses mental and emotional aspects of Survival necessary to maintain clear thinking- essential to any survival situation. It outlines essential steps which every traveler MUST take to be pro-active. The section outlines strategies which have to happen to assess, prioritize, plan, set immediate and longer range goals for survival. The next section involves essential gear. The following articles show how to use simple materials to set up a shelter, gather and purify water, create fire, keep warm, navigate using Sun, Moon, and Stars, Signal, and Communicate. There is considerable information on how to plan and pack for longer hikes and journeys. The book prioritizes safety and gives suggestions for handling injuries and managing scenes. The emphasis is always on safety first. There are articles on snow shelters, canoe shelters, and numerous uses for tarps- from shelters to lean-to's to shades, to improvised sleeping bags. Suggestions are given for keeping warm, dry, hydrated, protected from insects, sun and heat exhaustion, cold, wind, rain. *There are illustrations throughout the book to show how to use found materials, fishing equipment, and natural materials effectively. The book ends with a Personal note on my own outdoors experiences and the valuable lessons I've learned from them. Photos are included.
