Jimmy Carter in Plains

The Presidential Hometown

By: Robert Buccellato

The physical connections to most American presidents are deeply rooted in the past and unfamiliar. One can no longer see Washington’s birthplace or William Henry Harrison’s log cabin. Plains, Georgia, is different, and the attachment Americans have for it remains truly unique. Jimmy Carter in Plains: A Presidential Hometown tells the inspirational story of how one man and his community transformed a nation. When Jimmy Carter, a one-term governor of Georgia, announced his candidacy for president, few took him seriously. Yet, in just two years, he managed to pull off a spectacular and unprecedented victory, thanks to his personal style of politicking and the support of his hometown. Many of his neighbors campaigned for him, and they became known as the “Peanut Brigade.” Crowds started to flock to the sleepy hamlet of Plains, making celebrities out of the candidate’s mother, younger brother, and daughter. The exceptional photographs of Charles W. Plant guide the reader through the 1976 election, which made Plains “America’s hometown.”

Presidential Vacations in Florida

By: Robert Buccellato

Abe Lincoln did not split rails in Tampa, and George Washington's cherry tree might not have been cut in Miami-Dade, but in Key West, the famous Harry S. Truman sign--"The Buck Stops Here"--still resides on the former president's Florida White House desk. A few hours north is the Kennedy bunker, complete with the presidential seal painted on the concrete floor just in case the Soviets started a nuclear war while Kennedy was vacationing in Palm Beach. Florida may not have a presidential homestead, but it contains the Disney resort where an embattled Richard Nixon exclaimed "I am not a crook" and the fishing hole where Chester A. Arthur discovered that he would not live to see a second term. It is the place where presidents have come to escape and let down their guards. For generations, the Sunshine State has turned commanders in chief into relaxed tourists, allowing them to juggle the formal functions of the office while reconnecting with their private lives. Illustrated with rare and candid photographs, Presidential Vacations in Florida is a book for any lover of the American presidency.

Florida Governors: Lasting Legacies

By: Robert Buccellato

The state of Florida has a unique place in the annals of national history and has been a constant contributor to the country's identity. The 51 men who have served as the state's governors are an essential part of its complex identity and have produced resonant material for historians of all ages. They have been farmers, generals, boat captains, restaurant owners, presidents, and sons of presidents. They have been given the office by both popular mandate and the happenstance of fate. These individuals have represented virtually every category of what it means to be a Floridian. Their lasting legacies can be felt every day by the state's citizens. Since the drainage of the Everglades and the transformation of swamplands into beachfront paradises, Florida has lured Americans from various states to its sunny shores. It has seceded from the Union, determined the final verdict in many presidential elections, was the site of railroad monopolies, developed into a playground of the rich, and is the birthplace of a new kind of theme park--all while being led by these distinct individuals who, at their core, were Floridians first.

Man of Peace

The illustrated life story of the Dalai Lama of Tibet

By: William Meyers,Robert A.F. Thurman,Michael G. Burbank

Why the "life story" of the Dalai Lama? It is a story of one man taking on an empire, calling for truth, peace, and justice for his Tibetan people. Here, in full color for the first time, people can come to know the whole drama of his lifelong struggle. Since the age of 15, the Dalai Lama has defended his people against one of the last great empires, the People’s Republic of China. Under its "dictatorship of the proletariat," China began to invade Tibet in 1950, decimating and then continually oppressing its people. Since colonialism cannot be practiced in our era of self-determined nations, China always maintains that the Tibetans are a type of Chinese, using propaganda and military power to crush Tibet’s unique culture and identity. Yet the Dalai Lama resists by using only the weapon of truth—along with resolute nonviolence—even worrying some of his own people by seeking dialogue and reconciliation based on his more realistic vision. The great 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet has become the first global Dalai Lama, a prominent transnational leader of all who want to make the dramatic changes actually necessary for life on earth to thrive for centuries to come. Considered the incarnation of the Buddhist savior Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara—archangel of universal compassion—he is believed to appear in many forms, at many different times, whenever and wherever beings suffer. Representing the plight of his beloved Tibetan people to the world, he has also engaged with all people who suffer oppression and injustice, as recognized in 1989 by his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Most importantly, the Dalai Lama walks his talk throughout these pages, as he has throughout his life, and he radiates a powerful hope that we can and will prevail. Man of Peace presents the inside story of his amazing life and vision, in the high tension of the military occupation of Tibet and the ongoing genocide of its people—a moving work of political and historical nonfiction brought to life in the graphic novel form—here for all to see.

Manic Mouths

By: Robert John Madisson

This book was made by a man stuck in place, unable to get out of the same old thing. I worked on this group of ideas for less than a year. I was in a place where the food is legendary for being bad: jail. I wrote over three hundred recipes down while in jail. I loved it. There is nothing like working over an idea and only have your past interactions to work with, no books, no Internet, and no outside world. In this book, I picked from memory, due to getting most of my work thrown away before I got out, my favorite recipes, like tequila steak, root soup, chocolate bacon burger, and any of them that called for alcohol to be thrown in and on the side as you eat. There are some good new ideas in this book. This book also has my new milkshake list in it. The idea hit me like, Why is this not a thing? Smirnoff-flavored vodkas blended with cakes and pies with some of Americas favorite ice cream. I took the idea from jail and then got to a computer and looked up and wrote down as many pies and cakes I could from a large list of world pies and cakes to make these new blended drinks. The list is long, from China to Albania to Sweden to Ancient Rome to even the Philippines and lots from the USA and the United Kingdom. New food, new cool drinks, and new ideas written in a way to let you make them as small and as big as you want. Hope to see you at the Manic Mouth restaurant/milkshake bar in Las Vegas, Nevada, coming soon as it can. Thanks. Robert John Madison
