The Trailsman #306

Nebraska Night Riders

By: Jon Sharpe

Fargo ain’t afraid of the dark… Skye Fargo’s making his way back east to St. Louis when he comes across a horrible sight on the Nebraska prairie—a burning cabin, and an entire family shot execution-style and laid out. He soon learns that there’s a killer on the loose—smallpox. But there’s someone out there worse than the disease. They’re called night riders, and they’re out to make sure that anyone with smallpox—and those near them—don’t live long enough to spread the illness. Now, the Trailsman is going to give the cowardly killers a dose of their own medicine…

The Men Who Stare at Goats

By: Jon Ronson

Now a major film, starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, and Jeff Bridges, this New York Times bestseller is a disturbing and often hilarious look at the U.S. military's long flirtation with the paranormal—and the psy-op soldiers that are still fighting the battle. Bizarre military history: In 1979, a crack commando unit was established by the most gifted minds within the U.S. Army. Defying all known laws of physics and accepted military practice, they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and—perhaps most chillingly—kill goats just by staring at them. They were the First Earth Battalion, entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries. And they really weren’t joking. What’s more, they’re back—and they’re fighting the War on Terror. An uproarious exploration of American military paranoia: With investigations ranging from the mysterious “Goat Lab,” to Uri Geller’s covert psychic work with the CIA, to the increasingly bizarre role played by a succession of U.S. presidents, this might just be the funniest, most unsettling book you will ever read—if only because it is all true and is still happening today.

Stephen J. Cannell Television Productions

A History of All Series and Pilots

By: Jon Abbott

The face of 1980s television was shaped by a man who stayed behind the scenes. Stephen Cannell's reluctant white knights--put-upon private eye James Rockford, World War II fly-boys the Black Sheep Squadron, hapless superhero Ralph Hinckley, fugitive mercenaries the A-Team, and maverick cop Hunter--traversed the television landscape from the 1970s to the 1990s. Cannell changed the face of the action-adventure genre, updating the crime-show format with a hybrid of rebellious morality, juvenile wit, intelligent sarcasm, and radical conservatism. This book discusses in detail the programs of the writer-producer and lists every episode of his award-winning productions from the early 1970s to the early '90s. The book features publicity photos and descriptions of unsold pilots.

The Reunion

By: Jon Wilmot

Scott's trip to Cheddar Gorge when an old school-friend fell to his death seems a long time ago. But when footage of the incident is broadcast at a school reunion more than twenty years later, he realises the rumours and accusations of that day have yet to fade. As people react in unexpected ways, the night takes a horrifying turn when Daniel Turrington, an old friend and the only person with a video camera on the gorge, is found stabbed to death outside. A number of questions remain unanswered. Was what happened on Cheddar Gorge really an accident? Who killed Daniel at the reunion? And why? If he was stabbed, why was there no knife? And who played the footage at the reunion? Scott finds himself drawn into exploring what really did happen that day on the gorge. As he delves deeper, he begins to stumble on long-buried secrets, and realises nothing about the past is quite what it seems. But there are some people who want to keep the truth hidden forever and will do anything to keep it that way...

Raising Hell

Backstage Tales from the Lives of Metal Legends

By: Jon Wiederhorn

From the author of the celebrated classic Louder Than Hell comes an oral history of the badass Heavy Metal lifestyle—the debauchery, demolition, and headbanging dedication—featuring metalhead musicians from Black Sabbath and Judas Priest to Twisted Sister and Quiet Riot to Disturbed, Megadeth, Throwdown and more. In his song “You Can’t Kill Rock and Roll” Ozzy Osbourne sings, “Rock and roll is my religion and my law.” This is the mantra of the metal legends who populate Raising Hell—artists from Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slipknot, Slayer, and Lamb of God to Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Disturbed, Megadeth, and many more! It’s also the guiding principle for underground voices like Misery Index, Gorgoroth, Municipal Waste, and Throwdown. Through the decades, the metal scene has been populated by colorful individuals who have thwarted convention and lived by their own rules. For many, vice has been virtue, and the opportunity to record albums and tour has been an invitation to push boundaries and blow the lid off a Pandora’s box of riotous experiences: thievery, vandalism, hedonism, the occult, stage mishaps, mosh pit atrocities, and general insanity. To the figures in this book, metal is a means of banding together to stick a big middle finger to a society that had already decided they didn’t belong. Whether they were oddballs who didn’t fit in or angry kids from troubled backgrounds, metal gave them a sense of identity. Drawing from 150-plus first-hand interviews with vocalists, guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, and drummers, music journalist Jon Wiederhorn offers this collection of wild shenanigans from metal’s heaviest and most iconic acts—the parties, the tours, the mosh pits, the rage, the joy, the sex, the drugs . . . the heavy metal life! Horns up!

Songs of America

Patriotism, Protest, and the Music That Made a Nation

By: Jon Meacham,Tim McGraw

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A celebration of American history through the music that helped to shape a nation, by Pulitzer Prize winner Jon Meacham and music superstar Tim McGraw “Jon Meacham and Tim McGraw form an irresistible duo—connecting us to music as an unsung force in our nation's history.”—Doris Kearns Goodwin Through all the years of strife and triumph, America has been shaped not just by our elected leaders and our formal politics but also by our music—by the lyrics, performers, and instrumentals that have helped to carry us through the dark days and to celebrate the bright ones. From “The Star-Spangled Banner” to “Born in the U.S.A.,” Jon Meacham and Tim McGraw take readers on a moving and insightful journey through eras in American history and the songs and performers that inspired us. Meacham chronicles our history, exploring the stories behind the songs, and Tim McGraw reflects on them as an artist and performer. Their perspectives combine to create a unique view of the role music has played in uniting and shaping a nation. Beginning with the battle hymns of the revolution, and taking us through songs from the defining events of the Civil War, the fight for women’s suffrage, the two world wars, the Great Depression, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and into the twenty-first century, Meacham and McGraw explore the songs that defined generations, and the cultural and political climates that produced them. Readers will discover the power of music in the lives of figures such as Harriet Tubman, Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr., and will learn more about some of our most beloved musicians and performers, including Marian Anderson, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Duke Ellington, Carole King, Bruce Springsteen, and more. Songs of America explores both famous songs and lesser-known ones, expanding our understanding of the scope of American music and lending deeper meaning to the historical context of such songs as “My Country, ’Tis of Thee,” “God Bless America,” “Over There,” “We Shall Overcome,” and “Blowin’ in the Wind.” As Quincy Jones says, Meacham and McGraw have “convened a concert in Songs of America,” one that reminds us of who we are, where we’ve been, and what we, at our best, can be.

Clash

Presidents and the Press in Times of Crisis

By: Jon Marshall

Donald Trump’s presidency was marked by angry attacks on journalists, an extraordinary ability to capture the media spotlight, a flood of disinformation from the White House, and bitter partisanship reflected in the media. Trump’s dysfunctional relationship with the press affected how the United States dealt with the crises of COVID-19, climate change, social unrest due to systemic racism, and efforts to overturn the 2020 election. But Trump’s troubled relationship with the press didn’t happen by chance. Clash explores the political, economic, social, and technological forces that have shaped the relationship between U.S. presidents and the press during times of crisis. In addition to Trump’s presidency, Clash examines those of John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Some of these presidents faced military or international crises. Others were challenged by economic downturns or political scandals. And sometimes the survival of America’s system of government was at stake. By examining what happened between presidents and the press during these pivotal times, Clash helps us understand how we arrived at our current troubled state of affairs. It concludes with recommendations for strengthening the role the press plays in keeping presidents accountable.

Hockey Night in Dixie

Minor Pro Hockey in the American South

By: Jon C. Stott

During the 1980s, the geography of minor-league professional hockey changed radically, moving from its roots in the Maritime provinces and in the New England and midwestern states into the American south. In addition to cities like Oklahoma City, Dallas, Charlotte and Norfolk, which had long traditions of minor-league hockey, unlikely places such as Biloxi, Baton Rouge, Little Rock and Augusta hosted teams. Over an 18-year period, minor-league hockey was played in 72 different southern cities, and at one point there were more minor-league teams in Texas than in all of Canada. Hockey Night in Dixie examines this phenomenon with a historical overview of the period, including interviews with people involved in the founding and early years of each of the 13 leagues. There are also in-depth portraits of four teams, one from each of the four lower minor leagues that played during the 200506 season. These portraits feature interviews with owners, coaches, players, officials, fans and reporters. Illustrated with photographs, Hockey Night in Dixie paints a vivid picture of this extraordinary development in minor-league sports.

Chappy

Believe it or not

By: Paul Chapman,Jon Anderson

Chappy is a raw and honest account of a glittering 16-year AFL career that scaled rare heights but included personal trauma as Paul Chapman discovered exactly who he was. From the angry young man who arrived at Geelong following the tragic accidental death of his brother Glenn in 1998, to the horrors of the Bali massacre four years later, Chapman tells his story with brutal honesty which is the only way he knows. He didn’t want this book to be a reflection of the 280 games he played with the Cats and the Bombers, claiming he had read too many of those over the journey. Instead he chose to share the reasons behind Geelong’s extraordinary run of success between 2007 and 2011, the coaching philosophies of Mark Thompson and Chris Scott and the personalities of the men he played with. Paul Chapman had an outstanding junior career before starring as a teen in the TAC Cup. He was drafted by Geelong in 1999, and played three premierships. He was named best and fairest in 2006, won the Norm Smith medal for best on ground in the 2009 AFL Grand Final and was named as an All-Australian 2009—2010. He played his last two seasons for Essendon, ending his career in 2015. Jon Anderson is a sports journalist at the Herald Sun and a radio commentator for 3AW in Melbourne. He grew up in north-east Victoria on a wheat and sheep farm. He has been a life-long Geelong supporter. ‘Chappy was the first one to welcome me to the club back in October, 2001, and became my mentor and role model … For me it is simple, Paul Chapman is a champion of our game.’ – GARY ABLETT JNR ‘Proud, passionate and born for big moments.’ – CAMERON LING

Clinical Overview and Pathogenesis of the Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, and Other

By: Irwin Jon Russell

Clinical Overview and Pathogenesis of the Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, and Other Pain Syndromes highlights the work of featured speakers from the MYOPAIN ?95 Third World Congress, an international meeting of the minds regarding the two soft tissue pain conditions of myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia syndrome. The work compiled in this anthology advances reader understanding of these two disorders by sharing the most advanced research in this field. The authors in Clinical Overview and Pathogenesis of the Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, and Other Pain Syndromes range from clinician investigators to basic scientists, from around the world, whose work has been an important overlap with the directions being taken by clinician investigators in each field. These authors review what has been learned about the clinical features of patient presentation and the contemporary treatments for each disorder. Authors also trace past progress of these disorders as a means for understanding their pathogenesis and to point toward future research directions. This unrivaled source allows physicians, dentists, researchers, and others working in this field to build on proven progress and prepare for the MYOPAIN ?98 meeting in Italy.

Vigilante Nation

How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy

By: Jon Michaels,David Noll

For readers of How Democracies Die, two legal scholars expose the history of the GOP's hidden political strategy to rollback protected rights, from abortion and gun control to surveillance and LGBTQ rights. Virginia's governor sets up a tip line for parents to snitch on teachers who acknowledge the reality of racial inequality. Texas unleashes bounty hunters against individuals who aid or abet anyone seeking an abortion. Florida encourages drivers to run over Black Lives Matter protesters who gather peacefully. And everywhere, there is the persistent threat of political violence. While these episodes might seem to be isolated spasms of MAGA rage, they reflect a concerted legal and political strategy that has been quietly unfolding in courts, think tanks, and state legislatures since the violent insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. With painstaking and enlightening research, Vigilante Nation exposes the insidious network of right-wing lawyers, politicians, funders, and preachers who are deploying vigilantism to cement their hold on power and impose a theocratic version of America. For so long, we have been taught by a bipartisan consensus that vigilantism is incompatible with our rule of law, but our history shows that the right has used it to enforce their vision of true social order. From the Fugitive Slave Act's use of bounty hunters to Southern militias violently enforcing the terror of Jim Crow, America has long been the home of political vigilantism. Now, discover what the future holds and how crucial it is that we each understand our country's vigilante laws"--

Spiritual Seeds

How to Cultivate Spiritual Wealth within Your Future Children

By: Jon Strain,Pam Strain

Spiritual Seeds: How to Cultivate Spiritual Wealth within Your Future Children is about “gaining the resources to impart spiritual and social wealth to our children.” The authors clarify the division of labor (God’s, parents’ and children’s roles) raising children and letting them leave the nest. The primary reader base is Millennials, who are open to being spiritually mentored in building a God-honoring household. Broadly speaking, the content is relevant to parents and grandparents of any age, but is meant to be pre-emptive to the child raising initiative. The purpose of this book is to give (pre-) parents a tangible model and workable vision for growing their family with God’s caring provision. More personally, it’s a legacy tool from the authors to our sons and wives to invite them to consider how they will build their home and reach higher with God’s enablement.

Adventures in the Bone Trade

The Race to Discover Human Ancestors in Ethiopia’s Afar Depression

By: Jon Kalb

As co-founder of the expedition that discovered Lucy, and leader of most of the first site-surveys in the Afar Depression in Ethiopia, Jon Kalb has years of experience with the region, its politics, and the scientists involved in the excavations. A participant himself in the "bone wars" that accompanied these discoveries, Kalb recounts the cutthroat competition and back stabbing that were often part of the media-highlighted race to find the oldest hominid fossil. He weaves this story in the rich fabric of Ethiopian society and politics, the plight of the regions peoples, and the international maneuverings for control of the fossil finds.

Privacy

The Lost Right

By: Jon L Mills

The disturbing reality of contemporary life is that technology has laid bare the private facts of most people's lives. Email, cell phone calls, and individual purchasing habits are no longer secret. Individuals may be discussed on a blog, victimized by an inaccurate credit report, or have their email read by an employer or government agency without their knowledge. Government policy, mass media, and modern technology pose new challenges to privacy rights, while the law struggles to keep up with the rapid changes. Privacy: The Lost Right evaluates the status of citizens' right to privacy in today's intrusive world. Mills reviews the history of privacy protections, the general loss of privacy, and the inadequacy of current legal remedies, especially with respect to more recent privacy concerns, such as identity theft, government surveillance, tabloid journalism, and video surveillance in public places. Mills concludes that existing regulations do not adequately protect individual privacy, and he presents options for improving privacy protections.

Blood and Iron

By: Jon Sprunk

This action-heavy EPIC FANTASY SERIES OPENER is like a sword-and-sorcery Spartacus set in a richly-imagined world. It starts with a shipwreck following a magical storm at sea. Horace, a soldier from the west, had joined the Great Crusade against the heathens of Akeshia after the deaths of his wife and son from plague. When he washes ashore, he finds himself at the mercy of the very people he was sent to kill, who speak a language and have a culture and customs he doesn't even begin to understand. Not long after, Horace is pressed into service as a house slave. But this doesn't last. The Akeshians discover that Horace was a latent sorcerer, and he is catapulted from the chains of a slave to the halls of power in the queen's court. Together with Jirom, an ex-mercenary and gladiator, and Alyra, a spy in the court, he will seek a path to free himself and the empire's caste of slaves from a system where every man and woman must pay the price of blood or iron. Before the end, Horace will have paid dearly in both.

Fallen Prince

By: Jon Dietz

John Kennedy, like Marcus Aurelius two thousand years ago, served at the apex of his country’s power and glory. His life was only half over when an assassin’s bullet took him away from his countrymen and his family. For those who were alive in 1963, his violent death was a bigger jolt than the natural death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1945. Kennedy has been gone now for fifty-eight years. The controversy surrounding his death has never abated. Half the country believes Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole architect of the murder. The other half believes the government hid the real conspiracy. The sands of time have finally revealed the actual actors responsible. Fallen Prince is a political thriller involving interaction between historical and fictional characters. The goal is to finally name the men who ended Camelot after one thousand days. A secondary goal is to entertain readers who love history and drama.
