Book Description
An unorthodox historian known and respected for his work on the grand conflicts of nations and civilizations, John Lukacs has peopled a smaller canvas in this volume, with seven colourful figures who flourished in Philadelphia before 1950. Their stories are framed by chapters that describe the city in 1900 and in 1950.The Philadelphians selected are a political boss, Boies Penrose; a magazine mogul, Edward Bok; an elegant writer, Agnes Repplier; an impetuous diplomat, William C. Bullitt; a lawyer, George Wharton Pepper; a prophet of decline, Owen Wister; and a great art collector, Albert C. Barnes. The political boss was perhaps the most monumental political figure of his age. The magazine mogul was the most famous embodiment of the American success story during his lifetime. The now almost forgotten writer was the Jane Austen of the essay. The diplomat was the most brilliant of ambassadors. The terrible-tempered collector was a radical proponent of his unusual theory of art.Through these seven portraits, Lukacs paints a picture of Philadelphia that is "like all living things, having the power to change out of recognition and yet remain the same." This work is a must read for all historians and Philadelphians.

Book Description
Fifty percent of American voters define themselves as political moderates, two-thirds favor political solutions that come from the center of the political spectrum, and Independents outnumber both Democrats and Republicans. Bill Clinton and George W. Bush each explicitly used Centrist strategies to win the White House—and twenty-first-century candidates will be compelled to do the same. Independent Nation documents the rich history of the defining political movement of our time. Organized as a series of short and colorful political biographies, it offers an insightful and engaging analysis of the successes and failures of key Centrist leaders throughout the twentieth century. In the process, it demonstrates that Centrism is not only a winning political strategy but an enlightened governing philosophy that best reflects the will of the people by putting patriotism ahead of partisanship and the national interest ahead of special interests.

The cost has certainly been high, but they never lose hope for a bright future. Theirs is a compelling story of struggle, pride, pain, and victory. Offering valuable life lessons, Freedom Found is a new musical journey for the stage, the story of the quest for the freedom to Choose Who to Be.TM

Book Description
PRO BASEBALL COMES TO THE MAINE COAST is a fictional baseball story about a newly-formed low minor league baseball team that played in a beautiful region of Maine known as Penobscot Bay. The team joined a little-known league made up of independent professional teams that did not have an affiliation with a major league team. A local businessman and a successful small college baseball coach joined together to make something that seemed to be impossible become a reality. A team made up of undrafted small college players played their first season with determination. They were a bunch of team-oriented overachievers. This “feel good” story of the first season is an example of how a sports team can be the bond that can bring an area of small towns together.
