Coming Home to Roost

By: Mary-anne Scott

Elliot is on the run from a situation that's just too big to handle. Sooner or later, it's going to catch up with him. 'You’re seventeen, left school, scarred for life,’ Dad said, pointing at Elliot’s tattoo, ‘and living off us like a child.’ Elliot’s in need of a fresh start, so he’s dispatched to a new city to work as an apprentice electrician. His boss, Arnie, is an ex-naval officer whose bad temper and frequent advice don’t make for easy living — but Elliot’s out of options. Elliot is just settling into some sort of routine when a disturbing rumour surfaces about his ex-girlfriend, Lena. As Lena tries to track him down, Elliot dives for cover. But a problem this big only attracts more problems, and, after a shocking workplace accident, they’re all going to catch up with him at once. The question is, will Elliot come out of hiding and face them head on? Coming Home to Roost is a fast-paced, bighearted novel about an age-old situation, from the award-winning author of Snakes and Ladders.

This Chicken Life

Stories of chickens and the Australians who love them

By: Fiona Scott-Norman,Ilana Rose

Having chickens in your life is so hot right now. If you're not obsessed yourself, you know someone who is. Within a few years, keeping backyard chooks has gone from being something your nonna did, to the mainstream. Chickens are in inner-city backyards and comedy gigs, old people's homes and poultry shows, prisons and weddings. Regional poultry clubs have been revitalised by the influx of tree-changers and hipsters intoxicated with exotic heritage breeds.Rescue chickens are the new black, and the perfect feel-good accompaniment to your rescue dog. Chickens are an essential component of the permaculture, locavore, sustainability, self-sufficiency and low food mile movements. Chickens are owning Instagram. Chickens are everywhere. A collaboration between writer, comic and chicken owner, Fiona Scott-Norman, and acclaimed photographer, Ilana Rose, This Chicken Life is a collection of stories about chickens and the Australians who love them. You'll meet Jareth Bullivant, an animal liberationist who takes his rescue broilers Twistie and Sephiroth to the beach. Nik Round, a Victorian advertising executive who is focused on saving a heritage breed. Summer Farrelly from Queensland, a twelve-year-old with autism who connects with the world through her chooks and has started a chicken therapy program. Shane Secombe, who rescues the unwanted roosters of Alice Springs and gives them a second life at the prison. And Adele Scott, a burlesque performer and interior designer with tattoos and a permaculture garden. Oh, and Costa. Funny, joyful and moving, This Chicken Life unpacks an obsession and a love affair. Chickens and humans, heart to heart, face to beak. This is no fad, it's a way of life. This is a specially formatted fixed-layout ebook that retains the look and feel of the print book.

The World Doesn't Require You: Stories

By: Rion Amilcar Scott

Finalist • PEN / Jean Stein Book Award Longlisted • Aspen Words Literary Prize Best Books of the Year: Washington Post, NPR, Buzzfeed and Entropy Best Short Story Collections of the Year: Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, the New York Public Library, and Electric Literature Welcome to Cross River, Maryland, where Rion Amilcar Scott creates a mythical universe peopled by some of the most memorable characters in contemporary American fiction. Set in the mythical Cross River, Maryland, The World Doesn’t Require You heralds “a major unique literary talent” (Entertainment Weekly). Established by the leaders of America’s only successful slave revolt in the mid-nineteenth century, the town still evokes the rhythms of its founding. With lyrical prose and singular dialect, Rion Amilcar Scott pens a saga that echoes the fables carried down for generations—like the screecher birds who swoop down for their periodic sacrifice, and the water women who lure men to wet death. Among its residents—wildly spanning decades, perspectives, and species—are David Sherman, a struggling musician who just happens to be God’s last son; Tyrone, a ruthless, yet charismatic Ph.D. candidate, whose dissertation about a childhood game ignites mayhem in the neighboring, once-segregated town of Port Yooga; and Jim, an all-too-obedient robot who obeys his Master. Culminating with an explosive novella, The World Doesn’t Require You is a “leap into a blazing new level of brilliance” (Lauren Groff) that affirms Rion Amilcar Scott as a writer whose storytelling gifts the world very much requires.

Inside Poop

America's Leading Colon Therapist Defies Conventional Medical Wisdom About Your Health and Well-Being

By: Scott W. Webb

This book kept me reading all night. I couldnt put it down! -- Brad DeMeulenaere I had my first colonic at age 26. I am now 56 and have seen a total of five colon hygienists, four within the past six years. Ive been through the forest of medical doctors and many different alternative health practitioners. Much of the time, I have sensed a frustration from them. Sometimes its a frustration that they cant figure out how to help me and sometimes it feels like a cumulative frustration from all the others they havent been able to help. But sometimes I feel that their frustration is directed to me personally, as if they wished I would just get myself together and feel better. Lord knows, I havent always made the best choices for my health. When I saw Scott Webb, I felt a lack of that frustration and no hint of blame. It was evident to me that he saw the big picture and how we have been affected by our culture. Scotts message was truly one of hope which brought me a sense of relief and peace. That is definitely a place where healing can begin, when you feel no blame, just peace and hope. -- Victoria Lovett One of Americas leading colonic therapists gives you the inside scoop on digestive disorders that you or a loved one might be experiencing. Learn how to: cleanse your colon and your whole body, reduce your risk of common diseases, understand the deeper issues of weight loss, beat underlying causes of depression, improve your diet to overcome constipation, visualize yourself well and feel better every day! Scott W. Webb dares to defy conventional wisdom about health and proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he knows the inside poop about many secrets you have not heard yet -- until now!

Pujols

More Than the Game

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Pujols

More Than the Game

By: Scott Lamb,Tim Ellsworth

After a decade starring for the St. Louis Cardinals, Albert Pujols is already compared with names in the highest reaches of baseball's pantheon: Ruth, Gehrig, Aaron, Mays. Slugging his way toward the Hall of Fame, Pujols has raised the game's standard for greatness beyond any statistical measure. But the standard by which Pujols measures himself has less to do with baseball performance than with honoring God and exemplifying his faith for the millions who follow him. From his birthplace in the Dominican Republic to his high-school days in Kansas City, from a single season in the minor leagues to the World Series and nine All-Star Games, Pujols has developed his immense talents on the baseball diamond, all the while focusing his direction-and the direction of his family-with the belief that a higher power is behind every achievement. Authors Scott Lamb and Tim Ellsworth spare no tale of this growing baseball legend, all the while accentuating "the unseen hand of divine providence" that has shaped the man Albert Pujols has become. It's a story that will inspire, and a reminder of the human quality behind superhuman achievement. A story-still in the making-of allowing God's strength to guide one man's path to be the best his game has ever seen. His numbers are staggering. In 2010 Albert Pujols became the first player in baseball history to bat .300 with 30 home runs and 100 runs batted in for ten consecutive seasons. Babe Ruth didn't do it. Ted Williams didn't do it. Hank Aaron didn't do it. The fact that this was accomplished in Pujols' first ten seasons only makes the achievement more, well, Ruthian. Albert Pujols' story goes beyond numbers, though. Beyond the bright lights and packed stadiums of Major League Baseball. Even beyond the adulation of millions who have come to see the St. Louis Cardinal star as the rare "once-in-a-lifetime-player" who transcends team loyalties. Through the 2010 season, Pujols hit 408 home runs. And every time he touched home plate after sending another baseball to a random bookshelf or trophy case, Pujols pointed heavenward. Toward the strength behind his otherworldly talents, toward the inspiration that lifts him on a daily basis, regardless of his team's place in the standings. For Jesus Christ is Albert Pujols' first love. Faith, family, then maybe baseball. Endorsements: "He matches in his personal life the excellence that he demonstrates on the diamond. You will love this book and will love Pujols if you don't already." -Mike Huckabee , 44th Governor of Arkansas, Former Republican presidential candidate, Host of Fox News ' Huckabee Show, Best-selling author But Pujols' argument for greatest player ever isn't nearly as interesting or significant as the fact that there even is an argument. That's because perhaps the most amazing thing about Albert Pujols is that less than two years before he began one of the greatest rookie seasons in baseball history, he was a non-prospect." -Joe Posnanski, Senior Writer at Sports Illustrated (included in the Foreword) "Pujols is full of nuggets. Given that the action in the famous poem "Casey at the Bat" starts with "Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same," I enjoyed reading that Albert Pujols asks opposing runners at first base, "If you died today, where do you think you're going to go?" Lamb and Ellsworth lucidly describe both the season-by-season baseball exploits of Pujols and the impact he's having on some lives for eternity." -Marvin Olasky, Editor-in-chief, World

Heroes

What They Do and Why We Need Them

By: Scott T. Allison,George R. Goethals

Abraham Lincoln, Princess Diana, Rick in Casablanca--why do we perceive certain people as heroes? What qualities do we see in them? What must they do to win our admiration? In Heroes, Scott T. Allison and George R. Goethals offer a stimulating tour of the psychology of heroism, shedding light on what heroism and villainy mean to most people and why heroes--both real people and fictional characters--are so vital to our lives. The book discusses a broad range of heroes, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Walt Kowalski in Gran Torino, Senator Ted Kennedy, and explorer Ernest Shackleton, plus villains such as Shakespeare's Iago. The authors highlight the Great Eight traits of heroes (smart, strong, selfless, caring, charismatic, resilient, reliable, and inspiring) and outline the mental models that we have of how people become heroes, from the underdog who defies great odds (David vs. Goliath) to the heroes who redeem themselves or who overcome adversity. Brimming with psychological insight, Heroes provides an illuminating look at heroes--and into our own minds as well.

The year is 2013. Due to the influence of terrorism, religious fundamentalism is thriving and has greatly influenced the political and cultural climate of America. Laws have been enacted to reestablish America as a God-fearing nation. Basic civil rights are restricted, freedom of speech is suppressed, and artistic expression is becoming a thing of the past. Stace Manning, a photographer with a taste for the erotic, is prevented from exhibiting his work at a religious university and blames Rick Forstein for the injustice. Ignoring his need for revenge, Stace travels to Frankfurt, Germany to rekindle a passion for his craft, and falls in love with a reporter, Eva Burtman. Eva is investigating a computer virus built to indoctrinate converts from being unleashed on the Internet. Through a twist of fate, her investigation leads her to the conclusion that her lover, Stace, is linked to the creator of the virus, Rick Forstein. In order for Stace to prove his innocence, he must find and confront Rick, a nemesis from his past.

Muscle Car Special Editions

By: Duncan Scott Brown

“Get one before one gets you!” Motion Performance’s catchy sales pitch for builder Joel Rosen’s Phase III Specialty Muscle Cars sums up the escalating performance scene in the late 1960s. Special edition muscle cars were essential to keep pace. Joel and other independent car builders (such as Carroll Shelby, George Hurst, Dick Harrell, Mr. Norm, and Jim Wangers) did what the factories couldn’t do: take the muscle car and turn it into a tire-burning monster. Although the Pontiac GTO established the muscle car category in 1964, a host of corporate safety restrictions restrained factories from offering turn-key race cars off the showroom floor. Independent car builders enhanced appearance and amplified performance in an attempt to do what the manufacturers wouldn’t. Motion Performance issued a written guarantee: Phase III cars would run 11.5 at 120 mph down the quarter-mile! Some of the most iconic nameplates in automotive history were applied in this era with names that included Cheetah, Black Panther, Royal Bobcat, Super Hugger, Manta Ray, Super Snake, Deuce, Fast Track, and The Machine. How did manufacturers stealthily promote these special edition muscle cars as “halo cars” while pretending not to endorse them? What happened to these innovators when factories assimilated their ideas? It’s all covered inside. Muscle car historian Duncan Brown takes us through these special edition muscle cars, their creators, and the behind-the-scenes forces that shaped these wild beasts into legends that left a lasting legacy.

Southbound:

An Illustrated History of Southern Rock

By: Scott B. Bomar

Many of the architects of rock and roll in the 1950s, including Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard, were Southerners who were rooted in the distinctive regional traditions of country, blues, and R&B. As the impact of the British Invasion and the psychedelic era faded at the end of the following decade, such performers as Bob Dylan and the Band returned to the simplicity of American roots music, paving the way for Southern groups to reclaim their region's rock-and-roll heritage. Embracing both Southern musical traditions and a long-haired countercultural aesthetic, such artists as the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd forged a new musical community that Charlie Daniels called “a genre of people more than a genre of music.” Focusing primarily on the music's golden age of the 1970s, Southbound profiles the musicians, producers, record labels, and movers and shakers that defined Southern rock, including the Allmans, Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, Wet Willie, the Charlie Daniels Band, Elvin Bishop, the Outlaws, the Atlanta Rhythm Section, .38 Special, ZZ Top, and many others. From the rise and fall of the mighty Capricorn Records to the music's role in helping Jimmy Carter win the White House and to its continuing legacy and influence, this is the story of Southern rock.

The Interrogation Chair

By: Scott L. Miller

The Interrogation Chair is an intense, psychological suspense novel with a heart that mixes elements of Jeffrey Deaver, Stephen White and Robert B. Parker. The Interrogation Chair crosses over to whet the appetites of traditional detective story readers, keep whoodunit mystery fans guessing and satisfy forensic novel aficionados--with enough sex, conflict and intrigue to keep the action spicy and the story moving. Competitive, cocky Mitchell Adams is a Ph. D. Social Worker in St. Louis who has it all--intelligence, looks, a thriving private practice and a new townouse--and the ladies' man has fallen for beautiful Kristin Gray when his highly ordered world is suddenly turned inside out by her brutal murder. All evidence points to Mitchell and he starts receiving disguised phone calls from someone who claims to be her killer and a client of his. The cunning, delusional killer carries a past grudge and is hellbent on putting Mitch through the trials of Job in a sick game of cat and mouse--if Mitch tells the police about his mystery caller, the killer will murder one of his clients next. Filled with a spectrum of colorful, challenging clients as potential suspects, Mitch runs the killer's twisted gauntlet alone in a race against time to find the killer before the police arrest him for Kris' murder. Mitch finds himself in the proverbial hot seat with an amoral killer, with words as his only defense while he struggles to save himself from a horrific death. The smooth-talking Mitch must sell 'Swastikas to the Pope' if he is to wriggle out of this mess. His odyssey returns him to his days as a fledgling therapist, forces him to admit to his own past secret and makes him choose between learning the truth about the woman of his dreams and keeping a memory alive.

Draft Day

How Hockey Teams Pick Winners Or Get Left Behind

By: Doug MacLean,Scott Morrison

Doug MacLean, former NHL coach, general manager, team president, and one of the game’s biggest personalities, reveals how teams build for greatness—or fail to—on hockey’s most anticipated day. A Moneyball for hockey. The NHL draft is a critical time for teams, when the foundation for future championships is laid—or when championship dreams die. Only time will tell if a draft is successful, but a failed draft can severely set teams back for seasons, much to the dread of ownership, management, and most importantly, the fans. For even the most die-hard hockey fan, the preparation for draft day is a black box. Former president, general manager, and coach Doug MacLean takes readers behind the scenes, from the 2022 draft in Montreal to revealing draft stories from the past, to show how players are discovered and evaluated to create successful teams. Just as Moneyball illustrated the value of analytics in building teams in baseball and beyond, Draft Day shows the careful considerations that go into assessing talent for success. What is that balance in today’s game between metrics and instinct, between analytics and traditional scouting? MacLean draws from his own career as well as anecdotes from across the league to illustrate the hard-won lessons and principles that lead to building successful teams. Hockey is big business, and this book is an invaluable resource for any leader seeking an edge for building resilient organizations. Entertaining and informative, with never-before-told details from some of the biggest moments in NHL history, Draft Day is for every hockey fan who wonders how their team develops that hard-to-define winning chemistry—or fails to, year after year.

The X-Mas War

By: Scott Malensek

The undeniable history of mankind clearly shows us that human conflict has far from passed. In places like Kuwait, Rwanda, Bosnia and Kosovo, the 20th Century ended brutally. Given the trends of modern conflict, the economic separation of peoples, the rise in religious affiliated terrorism, and the social hatreds that remain between races, tomorrow's wars can only be more violent than those of the past. The X-MAS War is really an anthology of four books: Black Rain For Christmas, The Secret War In South Asia, Sixth Fleet Under, and The Sugar-Sweet Smell of Fear. All four have overlapping storylines. They're tales are all told through the use of news reports, traditional narratives, diary entries, and letters home. Each book is a complete story by itself, but together they give a brand new perspective to the unique aspects of 21st Century warfare!

Unintended Consequences

By: Scott Burnell

Fourteen-year-old Heather O'Rourke's life was decimated when her older brother was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Los Angeles. The suspect fled to Mexico, and the sheriff's department appeared to have given up on pursuing him. Five years later, feeling angry and abandoned by the very agency her brother laid his life down for, she made a dangerous decision to seek help from a stranger to get justice for her brother. As a student-athlete at UCLA, she was taking a chance at getting caught and ruining her volleyball career. But for her, it was worth it. Family was more important. She was told that the man she was going to see had the ability to help her. However, it was up to her to convince him into doing it. She didn't have any money to give him, but she still had her innocence. She was terrified and desperate. Heather had to make a decision that no woman should ever have to make. It was a decision that would change her life forever. On the surface, Andy DiPaola seemed to be a man who had everything a man could want: good looks, money, a successful business, political power, and a lakefront home in Lake Arrowhead, California. But having been through several tragedies himself, he was left with an emptiness in his life. Everybody in his life had either been taken from him or had left him. From the moment Heather entered his office to the moment she left, he was intrigued and attracted to this beautiful woman. He told himself that this was the girl that he had been waiting for his whole life. But unfortunately, if he did this favor that she asked of him, he could never be with her. But the right thing to do was to help her. Unintended Consequences captures the heartbreak of losing loved ones and how those tragedies could lead to new beginnings with unexpected happiness filled with romance, surprises, and most of all, everlasting love.
