Atlanta Beer

A Heady History of Brewing in the Hub of the South

By: Ron Smith,Mary O. Boyle

“Delve[s] into a colorful past . . . Stories of early taverns and saloons, religious zeal, prohibition and the roots of the current craft beer boom.” —Atlanta Journal Constitution Atlanta is a unique southern city known for its vast diversity and fast-paced lifestyle. Rarely is it associated with a rich beer and brewing culture, but not for a lack of one. From Atlanta’s first brewery in the 1850s to the city’s Saloon Row and the parched days of local and national Prohibition, the earliest days of Atlanta’s beer history are laced with scandal and excitement. Follow the journey of beer through Atlanta’s development, starting with colonial Georgia and the budding wilderness settlement of Terminus and eventually evolving into the ever-growing metropolis known as Atlanta. Authors Ron Smith and Mary Boyle celebrate the resurgence of craft beer in a town that once burned to the ground. As Atlanta rose from the ashes of the Civil War, so also has artisanal beer made a comeback in this enigmatic but resilient city. “The brewery sections draw attention to some long-neglected businesses . . . But the chapter on Prohibition may be the most fascinating part of the book.” —American Breweriana Journal “A fascinating read for any craft beer lover in the Southeast. The book features chapters on frontier taverns of the area, Atlanta’s first beer boom, stories of early breweries of the city, the brewpub trend and the rise of current breweries located in Georgia’s capital.” —Owen Ogletree’s Brewtopia Brewsletter

Prohibition in Atlanta

Temperance, Tiger Kings & White Lightning

By: Ron Smith,Mary O. Boyle

After the Civil War, state and national Prohibition galvanized in Atlanta the issues of classism, racism and anti-immigrant sentiment. While many consider flappers and gangsters the iconic images of the era, in reality, it was marked with temperance zealotry, blind tigers and white lightning. Georgia's protracted and intense battle changed the industrial and social landscapes of its capital city and unleashed a flood of illegal liquor that continually flowed in the wettest city in the South. Moonshine was the toast of the town from mill houses to the state capitol. The state eventually repealed prohibition, but the social, moral and legal repercussions still linger seventy years later. Join authors Ron Smith and Mary O. Boyle as they recount the colorful history of Atlanta's struggle to freely enjoy a drink.

Nottingham Lace

By: Ron Kirk

Solitude and loneliness are a natural part of life. It happens to everyone at some stage. It is not confined to the ‘social misfits’ or the ‘losers’ in society. Those perceived as successful, with abundant friends and progressive careers, they can succumb too. James was a case in point. He led an outwardly successful career, had several intimate romantic liaisons with beautiful women, but he faced a late middle-age crisis. The cumulative effect of those interludes from early childhood experiencing loneliness and despair and his naivety with the opposite sex were beginning to envelop him. Giving up became an attractive option. He pondered whether his destiny was to resemble the beauty of an artistic piece of Nottingham Lace or the miserable deathly trap of a Spider’s Web. James had chosen a path from a heavily restricted list. After college, he joined the RAF and then became a musician. Through several romantic encounters and raw sensual intimacy, James begins to learn that relationships with women go much deeper than purely the lust and the physical. A series of career transfers, failed relationships, lead to bouts of loneliness and solitude, driving him to the edge of sanity. At a crucial point, he was prevented from going over the edge in his darkest hour by his pet Alsatian. Finally, his anguish is resolved by a tragic mishap. This brings him back on track to reality before it became too late to recognise his first and only true love.

Up to Alaska

The Rush of 2032

By: Ron Neff Ph.D

The Land of The Midnight Sun was home to more majestic glaciers and mountains than any place else on earth. And to more lakes and rivers than you could probably imagine. Just how many was that? There were more than 3,000 rivers and 3,000,000 lakes in Alaska. Everything was bigger in Texas? Not hardly, Tex. Alaska was more than twice the size of Texas. It was bigger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. Its critters were larger, too. And they roamed in in a wild, unmolested wilderness. Little wonder it was now being called, “The Northern Paradise.” That still didn’t quite cover it. You almost had to visit – to grasp one other thing about “The Last Frontier.” That would be its vastness . . . the expanses of what your eyes could feast upon. It was the summer of ’32, 2032, that is. They had been fighting that damned “covid” virus down in the lower 48 states just about long enough. Besides, it was getting too damned crowded down there. They longed for open spaces. Along with adventure -- and fortune. Alaska had all of that. And more. Now, it would soon claim a motley assortment of venturesome characters from Scottsville, Iowa. Well, if they could make it. Moving “Way Up North” presented challenges.

The Spirit of The Herbfarm Restaurant

A Cookbook and Memoir: With More Than 100 Recipes, Tips, and Techniques from America's First Farm-to-Table Restaurant

By: Ron Zimmerman

This book brings together more than 100 unique recipes from and inspired by America’s first true “farm-to-table” restaurant with the story of its creation. Working together, founders Ron Zimmerman and Carrie Van Dyck turned a farm garage into a restaurant like no other. In their pre-opening manifesto, they vowed to use only local ingredients to reunite their guests with the increasingly forgotten nature that has sustained us for hundreds of years. The initial offering was a single noon seating that began with a garden tour led by Carrie. This quickly became a nine-course chef-selected menu with a price that included wine pairings. The meals told a daily story in six or nine sequential dishes of what was in the garden, wilds, farm, and sea. Unlike restaurants that would later cloak themselves in the verbal mantle of “farm-to-table,” The Herbfarm Restaurant first found the food and only then designed the menu. Everything in each dish was local, not just the protein or main vegetable. Even olive oil and lemons weren’t used in the first years until Oregon olive orchards blossomed. There were no “supplements” or extra charges. Since guests were charged in advance, they knew to the penny what the experience would cost. Part memoir, part cookbook, The Spirit of the Herbfarm Restaurant is a walk down memory lane, written, photographed, and largely designed by Ron before his death in 2023. Delight in the history of the restaurant as well as the unique seasonal dishes and recipes and beautiful photography that cover all occasions.

Oshkosh

Preserving the Past

By: Ron La Point

It was my intention in this book to capture an older Oshkosh from those who lived it and from a few who, in their own artistic ways, are trying to retrieve it. It's a storybook journey of an Oshkosh of horse-drawn and electric streetcars, a city of unparalleled in women's fineries, and one that saw its future in aviation. You will travel through the topsy-turvy years of the Great Depression and of the war years that follow, and read the captivating story of an Oshkosh soldier whose experiences during that first year of the Korean War is a poignant reminder of who we are and what war is really like. You will read of businesses that once were and of some that still are; of people whose gifts and contributions to the city speak volumes in their behalf, and stories of sport teams and players that turn back the clock. You will run across such luminaries as William Waters, Carl Laemmle, Charles Lindbergh, Paul "Bear" Bryant, Roger Maris, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Gene Kelly, Houdini, Al Capone, George Bush, Bill Proxmire, Lawrence Welk, Guy Lombardo, "Minnesota Fats," and a few others whose names might bring back memories of your own. Each of these public figures, indirectly at least, have become part of this city's history.

Written based on the events of his great grandparent's life in the dawn of the 20th century, Marblehead's a classic story with a classic hero - one man's selfless journey through rural America, with a supportive caste in tow and a bottle of the divine in hand.

Some struggle with values, and others pivot on a dime, but each one carries a unique essence, all their own. With the knack for unpredictability and a taste for good humor, Ron Stock's delivered his most layered title, to date. If you're in the mood for that down-home feel with a touch of the sublime, Marblehead is sure to please. -M. Paris

At the Altar of the Past

By: Ron Farina

At the Altar of the Past By: Ron Farina Since coming home from the war, Tad Forte has led a solitary life in Charlestown, Rhode Island, doing his best to quiet the ghosts of Vietnam and the memory of Ellis Buck, the girl he loved. But Vietnam and a life without Ellis still haunt him. The thirty-year fragile truce with his past has begun to unravel. In search of answers, he decides to return to his hometown. His return leads him back to Ellis. They rekindle the fierce love they'd shared as teenagers, but Ellis is married and has a secret that threatens to rip Tad's world apart for a second time. Her only child, the consequence of one last night together, is Tad's daughter. "Bravo to author Ron Farina for giving us At the Altar of the Past. Competing against hundreds of Vietnam war stories, one more grisly than the other, Farina succeeds in wading past the slosh and delivers a unique, compelling reflection of regrettable choices, stolen moments of affection, and the devastating realization of love lost. Utilizing the Vietnam War as a backdrop, Farina deftly navigates his hero through the conflict within himself, making this book a captivating saga of the human condition." -John Bonanni, author of, Just Off, Stage Right. ------ "Ron Farina weaves a lifelong tale of hardship and enduring love. Tad Forte and Ellis Buck are as easy to know as your own high-school sweetheart. I loved this book and the time spent with these beautiful, relatable characters." -Kate Katcher, Playwright, Artistic Director Stray Kats Theatre Company ------ "Reading Ron Farina's gritty, romantic novel, readers will find themselves riveted as they follow Tad Forte on his heart-wrenching heroic quest. An unforgettable and highly-satisfying read." -Steven Ostrowski, author of the forthcoming novel, The Highway of Spirit and Bone. ------ "Farina gives us a closely observed world, whether it be in the war zones of Vietnam or the small-time routines and rituals of New England life. The characters are unforgettable and their development shows a careful understanding of how the human mind and heart engage both pain and pleasure." -Michael DiRaimo, Professor Emeritus, English, Manchester Community College. ----- "One can tell in each line that Ron Farina knows well the horrors of war and the pain of lost love that lies at the heart of this gripping and achingly realistic novel." -Erik Ofgang, co-author of The Good Vices.

The Gutbucket Quest

By: Piers Anthony,Ron Leming

A blues musician is blasted into a parallel world in a novel that’s “a houserockin’ good time” cowritten by the New York Times–bestselling author (Booklist). Slim’s a Texas bluesman of a certain age, down on his luck and just about broke—but hey, that’s what the blues are all about. He loves his music: “Not the popular blues, homogenized, synthesized, and zombilized; but the real down-home gut-bucket blues.” Then one day the music loves him back. In a single hot burst of lightning that comes straight up out of the ground, Slim finds himself in Tejas. It’s a little bit magic and a whole lot different, but the blues are the same. And the blues—manifest here in the form of a maple-necked, pearl-gray Fender Stratocaster with blue-chrome pickups, aka the Gutbucket—need him and need him bad. The Strat’s fallen into the hands of T-Bone Pickens and his Vipers, who want to suck up all its power and turn it to evil. Slim’s off and running on the Gutbucket Quest, with the help of his new mentor, rhythm guitarist Progress T. Hornsby, and a purely unstoppable blues singer named Nadine.

The Life of a Us Air Force Firefighter 1960–1980

By: Ron Fink

When I entered the air force so many years ago, I would never have guessed that life would take so many twists and turns. I would meet colorful people, have ten different duty assignments in three countries and four states, see many nice places, and have some rewarding experiences. With so many different jobs, I would learn that leadership is a combination of being able to follow orders and lead the team with the same enthusiasm. The US Air Force firefighting force is much different today than when I was in uniform. Gone are the converted military trucks that passed a fire trucks; now the equipment is state-of-the-art and the best that the fire equipment industry can provide. Firefighters at all levels are trained to meet standards established by the National Fire Protection Association, a consensus organizations of fire department leaders from small communities, large metropolitan areas, and the Department of Defense. I was proud to have been associated with the firefighters I worked with in those twenty years but wish that I had been able to participate in the organization that exists today. This book is about that adventure and those experiences.

God Is Dead

By: Ron Currie

The electrifying, "cutting-edge" (USA Today) debut work of fiction from Ron Currie, author of the forethcoming novel The One-Eyed Man (March 2017) Ron Currie’s gutsy, funny book is instantly gripping: If God takes human form and dies, what would become of life as we know it? Effortlessly combining outlandish humor with big questions about mortality, ethics, and human weakness, Ron Currie, Jr., holds a funhouse mirror to our present-day world. God has inhabited the mortal body of a young Dinka woman in the Sudan. When she is killed in the Darfur desert, he dies along with her, and word of his death soon begins to spread. Faced with the hard proof that there is no supreme being in charge, the world is irrevocably transformed, yet remains oddly recognizable.

Cornered

Hijinks, Highlights, Late Nights and Insights

By: Ron MacLean,Kirstie McLellan Day

A Saturday night spent with Ron MacLean has been a tradition for twenty-five years. Known for his quick wit, arched eyebrows and encyclopedic hockey knowledge, MacLean is the skilled ringmaster of Canada’s most watched weekly program. He has interviewed the greatest players, coaches and personalities of an era and is a master at coaxing the best in substance and entertainment from his guests, as well as from his opinionated and often irascible co-host, Don Cherry, on Coach’s Corner. And he has never written a book—until now. Cornered is packed with inside accounts—some inspiring, many hilarious—from his early days as a part-time radio announcer and weather forecaster in Red Deer, Alberta, to his time hosting Hockey Night in Canada and the Olympics. Perhaps no other journalist has witnessed first-hand more Canadian sports milestones in the past quarter century. From Gretzky to Catriona, Mario to Salé and Pelletier, MacLean has been there with an eye for detail and an appreciation for what makes a great story.

Funding Fathers

The Unsung Heroes of the Conservative Movement

By: Nicole Hoplin,Ron Robinson

Money changes everything, especially in politics. Politicians, think tanks, and political parties would not be where they are without monetary gifts. Yet, when it comes to celebrating donors, the media often praise liberals for their selfless giving and criticize conservatives for their selfish hoarding. But Ron Robinson and Nicole Hoplin, leaders of Young America's Foundation, set the record straight in Funding Fathers: The Unsung Heroes of the Conservative Movement. Part historical account of the conservative movement and part exposé about political philanthropy, Funding Fathers busts the myth that conservatives donate less money than democrats and exposes how the media, liberal organizations, and even conservatives perpetuate this lie. In Funding Fathers, Robinson and Hoplin reveal: * How conservative donors have had as much influence on the conservative movement as people like Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley Jr. * Why anonymous donations can do more harm than good to the conservative movement * How donations benefiting conservative ideas are often misappropriated at universities across the U.S. * How conservative politicians and organizations use donations more efficiently than liberals Money matters. But it is not the size of the donation that counts, it is the impact it makes. Funding Fathers shows how the unsung heroes of the conservative movement have not only influenced the past, but also how they continue to shape the future.

One Heart over the Line

Of Stubborn Love and Lost Knights

By: Ron Neff Ph.D

Admittedly Logan had been SPEEDING – and not mildly so. It was amazing he’d made that last corner at all, but that stunning red sports car wasn’t just FAST; she could really hug the curves. Logan would be slow to realize that his mania – highly energized madness – was a matter of ANGER . . . tied up with his broken heart. In fairness to the professor, that FIRE inside him was an UNUSUAL symptom. Most of the broken hearted just got depressed. Not Logan. Oddly, that MANIA, all that energy, seemed to attract females . . . one after another. Maybe every one of them was CRAZY, like himself now – but they weren’t boring. Logan’s friends, housemates and fellow professors were fascinated by all of this craziness. Indeed, they were somewhat envious. Still they had to wonder: Would he ever find “the one?” Or would he just go over the line?

In His Head

By: Ron Sobolewski

Colerain Pike is generous, talented, intellectual, attractive, socially conscious, and enjoys the company of women. The only child of successful and wealthy professional parents. He chose to accept being drafted into the U.S. Military during the Vietnam conflict. Efforts to alter his situation by his connected parents were rejected. Never married, he relished his intimate relationships with four desirable women. Each woman, at some point, ended their relationship with Colerain unilaterally. Those four women remained "in his head". Mr. Pike was unable to liberate himself from the power of their rejections. Colerain killed those four women during a patterned serial process. At each scene he intentionally left a clue that would always remain untraceable. Through an unseen observer, during his fourth killing, he became an addiction "in her head".
