James Cooley's mother had 10 children by six different fathers. She knew she could not care for all her sons and daughters, living as they did in the projects of Chattanooga, Tennessee. So she sent James and his older brother to live with their aunt and uncle in the tiny farming town of Graham, Alabama. Through humor, wit and engaging storytelling, James Cooley paints a picture about his arrival in that rural town in the deep South and his immediate realization that his life would never be the same again. In vivid detail, Cooley lays out his struggle to adjust from city life to country life and then back again to city life. Along the way, the lessons he learned molded him into a successful member of his community and a proud servant to his country. Now he shares those hard-earned lessons to educate, encourage and enlighten our next generation of leaders and the heroes who are helping them on their journey.

CITYBOY is Geraint Anderson's bestselling exposé of life in the City of London. In this no-holds-barred, warts-and-all account of life in London's financial heartland, Cityboy breaks the Square Mile's code of silence, revealing tricks of the trade and the corrupt, murky underbelly at the heart of life in the City. Drawing on his experience as a young analyst in a major investment bank, the six-figure bonuses, monstrous egos, and the everyday culture of verbal and substance abuse that fuels the world's money markets are brutally exposed as Cityboy describes his ascent up the hierarchy of this intensely competitive and morally dubious industry, and how it almost cost him his sanity.

Cows are my passion. â€'Charles Dickens There is something beautiful about dairy cows in the early morningâ€'the brisk air, the grass wet with dew, and the udders, swollen to bursting with sweet, fresh milk. These bountiful udders are just one of the many memorable andâ€'in their own wayâ€'lovely things about living on a dairy farm in Oklahoma, and just part of the stunning tableau created in Paula Sisks collection of verses, Rhyme From the Field and Farm. Whether it is a chronicle of a famous cowgirl or a simple description of the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, Paula's humor, affection, and spirituality come through in every word of her 137 poems. Written in her charming Northeastern Oklahoma dialect, this engaging book is food for a short or long read. When you have laughed your way through the last poem, you will know what it truly means to be a farmer's wife.
