An exhaustive investigation of the case of Gef, a “talking mongoose” or “man-weasel,” who appeared to a family living on the Isle of Man. “I am the fifth dimension! I am the eighth wonder of the world!” During the mid-1930s, British and overseas newspapers were full of incredible stories about Gef, a “talking mongoose” or “man-weasel” who had allegedly appeared in the home of the Irvings, a farming family in a remote district of the Isle of Man. The creature was said to speak in several languages, to sing, to steal objects from nearby farms, and to eavesdrop on local people. Despite written reports, magazine articles and books, several photographs, fur samples and paw prints, voluminous correspondence, and signed eyewitness statements, there is still no consensus as to what was really happening to the Irving family. Was it a hoax? An extreme case of folie à plusieurs? A poltergeist? The possession of an animal by an evil spirit? Now you can read all the evidence and decide for yourself. Seven years' research and interviews, photographs (many previously unseen), interviews with surviving witnesses, visits to the site—all are presented in this book, the first examination of the case for seventy years. In the words of its mischievous, enigmatic subject, “If you knew what I know, you'd know a hell of a lot!"

The life of a teenager is far from easy. Many of the days are filled with stress and uncertainty, rebellion and craziness, and... (well, you get the point). For this reason, there is no doubt that every teenager could use a little bit of encouragement, wisdom, support, advice, or even just a pat on the back, to let them know they're doing okay and that things will turn out just fine (they will, you know). Though the teen years may be a little less than perfect, to be a teenagers is to be one of the luckiest people in the entire universe (now that really is luck). This enormous world is filled with greatness and opportunity and possibility and a million other wonderful things, and for a teenager, that is an incredibly awesome fortune. Sometimes teenagers need to be reminded of all this greatness standing before them. With all the things going on in their very busy lives it really can be easy for them to forget. That's where this book comes in (you were probably wondering, right?). It is a great big pat on the back filled with words of confidence, support and inspiration to help any teen strive, thrive, and make this world everything they've ever dreamed it could be. And even better than that, it's the perfect reminder of how truly wonderful being a teenager can be (and that is something every teen should know).

This book is intended to help manage the messiness of adulthood. Serving as a crossing guard at a local elementary school, the author found himself moved and inspired by the experiences and encounters that greeted him each and every day. This book is a record of his reflections on those moments and how they led him to a deeper understanding of the concise ambiguity of what it means to be an adult. He watched his charges and wondered not “Why did the chicken cross the road?” but, rather, “What are all these chickens going to do once they get there?” Life is an effort to “cross the road,” and we do so every day. Now that we are there, what, and how, are we going to do so that our lives are “more than long”? Using especially his experience as a pulpit rabbi for over four decades, the author offers answers to those questions that can help everyone put one foot in front of the other and move forward confidently—once the crossing guard says that it is okay to go!
