Book Description
Ever since her boat drifted up against the mammoth docks in Milwaukee's harbor, Leah Dobkin has been enthralled by the evolution of the port and the city so firmly moored to it. From an era when it was a "Milwaukee Miracle" to make landfall without losing luggage to a promising future powered by alternative energy, Soul of a Port is steered by that same sense of wonder. And since the port's story is not just one of nuts, bolts and cranes, Dobkin's narrative is also well crewed by the characters who have given the place such a fascinating legacy. Settle in for an entertaining passage that includes a longshoreman's poetry, the Milwaukee Clipper's recipe for prime rib, a tugboat ghost story and much, much more.

Book Description
My Belief... We are all basic products of our environment, but possibility for changing. I was raised by my grandmother and grew up in a spiritual and compassionate loving environment. We are all spiritual being having a human experience. We live in two worlds, spiritual and natural. We are not able to see the spiritual world with the natural eye. It takes the light and Jesus is the light of the world. When he left earth and ascend into heaven, his spirit was left behind to guide us. (The Believers) His spirit is the light that lives in our heart. As long as you have the light, the enemy can't easily slip upon you. But those that live in darkness, the enemy use them to destroy, rob and kill. How do you defend yourself against an enemy you can't see or be aware of? We walk by faith and not by sight, because of the light. I would like to acknowledge my daughter Dr. Callie Lalugba for her input at the age 15 for some of the poems she wrote, also for the inspiration of my youngest daughter Jennifer Sparks. I pray a blessing to all that read and enjoy my poetry.

Book Description
This publication draws upon the fields of science, economics and business strategy to chart the future of humankind's relationship to the ocean. A healthy ocean provides the basis for a prosperous world, and oceans have been largely ignored as a driver of human well-being until now. Ocean health has been in a serious state of decline for the past 100 years from a range of pressures including human population growth, energy consumption and use of natural resources. Humanity will exceed the resources and environmental conditions necessary to exist, within the next century if nothing changes. Solutions to these challenges lie not only in traditional resource conservation management, but in new fields of technology, governance and innovation.

Book Description
The Sunrise of the Soul is the fruit of the last 24 years of an unexpected new life and a journey of transformation that took Gerry Straub from the glamour of Hollywood to the horror of the worst slums on earth. Straub’s journey began in an empty church in Rome during a moment of grace in which the hard shell of his ardent atheism was penetrated by a spark of light, allowing him to see that God was real and loved him just as he was. Eventually, Straub felt God telling him to stop filming the poor and to go live among the poor. He now lives in a crowded slum in Haiti where he operates a home of hope and healing for 69 abandoned kids, 24 of whom are still in diapers. Straub says his journey is far from over and will never be finished. As Karl Rahner reminded us, “In the torment of the insufficiency of everything attainable we ultimately learn that here, in this life, all symphonies must remain unfinished.” Living in a home with 69 kids in Haiti means that the stillness and silence needed for contemplation are virtually nonexistent. After more than four years of intense work in Haiti, Gerry began to commit himself to the rejuvenating power of authentic solitude in order to turn his attention to his own inner spiritual poverty. In the silent predawn darkness of each Haitian morning he waits, reflects, and prays. This book emerged slowly from those many lonely hours of silence.

Book Description
"In the Technicolor glow of the early seventies, Jessica B. Harris debated, celebrated, and danced her way from the jazz clubs of the Manhattan's West Side to the restaurants of the Village, living out her buoyant youth alongside the great minds of the day--luminaries like Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison. [This memoir] is her paean to that ... social circle and the depth of their shared commitment to activism, intellectual engagement, and each other"--Publisher marketing.

Book Description
Trinity was an immense space ship by any standards. A full biosphere design, Trinity was self sustaining and capable of WARP V speed between galaxies. Her travels had been prompted by slowing of the Earth's rotation, a fact well known in the twenty first century. Trinity has begun its historic journey, nearly two decades before, when the Earth was beginning to experience the severe disastrous effects of the tremendous storms and droughts brought on by the rotational slowing. Earth was dying and the need for a place for humanity to settle was critical. How did the Trinity'S inhabitants communicate with Earth over the astronomical distances of the far flung Universe? What mission did the Space Commission really envision when they created the Trinity? Learn the wonderment and the intense dangers encountered by the Trinity and the lessons learned by the crew. Learn as well about the challenges to the ship's mission from within and from without and hidden agenda held by both one of the crew and one form Earth. Their own interests were placed ahead of the safety of the crew, the ship and the mission. Yet, as you will see, their actions were not unreasonable, are defensible to an extent may not results you anticipate nor desire.
