Black and Honolulu Blue


Book Description

An unfiltered view of life as a big-time college and NFL player, this autobiography follows Keith Dorney, an All-American at Penn State and an All-Pro with the Detroit Lions, as he recounts his journey to the top and his views of football at the highest levels. The book articulately and candidly explores Dorney's life as a passionate football player from the unique perspective of the game's most grueling position.

Introduction to Colors


Book Description

This work is to be considered as merely an introduction into the realm of colors. The voluminous content of this subject is too vast, whereby the inclusion would preclude this as a cursory view of this subject. Herein included are partial listings of various categories. Indeed, the voluminous content available is far in excess to be addressed. It is the belief of the author not to make this a scholarly project so vast that it would detract from its being a basic introduction for amusement. Cultures have their own interpretation of the colors that are most prominent in their belief systems, and some common beliefs have over centuries become part of other cultures.
