"Charlie" Brown's Vietnam Journal: A Tactical Airlift Pilot's View of the War Garnett C. Brown, Jr.
“Charlie” Brown’s Vietnam Journal: A Tactical Airlift Pilot’s View of the War records the 1970-1971 years of Garnett C. Brown, Jr., or “Charlie Brown,” as his flying cronies called him. During that year, he flew the C-123, a tactical airlifter, a plane that hauled the “beans, bacon, and bullets of war” in all manner of weather, sometimes against ferocious ground fire, often in old—and always unarmed—aircraft. His Vietnam journal is based on 59 combat missions involving over 300 sorties and 350+ hours of flying time. While the book discusses aspects of tactics, the politics of Vietnamization, accident investigations, and hostile action, it is primarily an account of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. It does not question the war nor make moral judgments about U.S. involvement. Softcover [$19.95] Write Review Read Reviews ISBN: 1-4241-3021-2, 178 pages, 6 x 9

10 Ambassadors to Costa Rica Thecla E. McCarthy
In 1964, an opportunity developed for our family—twelve in number: eight boys, two girls, and Mom and Dad—to go to a foreign country, Costa Rica. We lived in Nicoya, a remote town on the Nicoyan Peninsula, where my husband trained local people to operate and maintain road-building equipment. Our family not only coped with living there, but thrived during those two years. Some close calls we encountered took our breath away. The sorrow we felt at the loss of our new baby girl was balanced by the love shown us by the local families. Our children were the true ambassadors to Costa Rica: they brought students home who wished to learn English, they brought teachers who needed letters from friends translated, and they were my interpreters, for they learned Spanish more quickly than I. In writing this book, I fell in love with my husband all over again: a wonderful experience. Softcover [$19.95] Write Review Read Reviews ISBN: 1-4137-9384-3, 165 pages, 5.5 x 8.5

Abe Lincoln's Doctor's Dog Irving Stanton Elman
This is the story of my life in show business as writer and producer in New York and Hollywood in the last half of the 20th century. If much of it sounds more like fiction than fact, it just proves the truth of the old truism that the truth is stranger than you-know-what. Or if not stranger, then funnier. Or if not funnier, then sadder. Or not sadder, then—well, on and on. Softcover [$24.95] Write Review Read Reviews ISBN: 1-4137-2588-0, 355 pages, 6 x 9

Abu El Banat: Father of Daughters Dolah Saleh
This is a story about a single father. It’s about labor and blue-collar work of the booming ’50s. It is about a dysfunctional family, about cultural and religious differences, sibling rivalry and the unconventional view of a mother working outside the home. It is about an unhappy marriage five kids later, the grief of separation and the things missed about being a family intact. It is about being different, normal teenage issues, and about having odd role models. It is about learning the lessons of sacrifice, unconditional love, the trials and tears of childhood, about discrimination, a scary world and rebellion. It is the story about feeling caught somewhere in the middle in a world where everything seemed black and white. As the author Dolah Saleh states in her introduction: Everyone knows the story of the single mom. And today, we all realize that there is such a thing as a single dad. Still, in the 1950s, one might have been hard pressed to find an immigrant father from Yemen with a swing shift job at a steel plant raising five children on his own. This man was my father.

Africa in Motion: Monkeys on My Back with Bush Creatures in My Midst Cheryl Jursa
Until the critics have their say, here’s what my friends are saying about Africa in Motion: “Jump on the truck and join the adventure!” Vic Spina, a San Francisco architect “I’m honored to be a character in Africa in Motion,” Pierpaola Bica, my Italian traveling companion “Hard-hitting, politically clever,” Devonna Holland, a Texas banker Africa in Motion is the story of a dream that came true. Free from the hierarchy of corporate life after being laid off, I hit the road to discover greater meanings. Quickly I realized my traveling companions mirrored the images of power and control I had sought to escape. To find meaning in this turn of events, I began to ponder the underlying assumptions of religious faith, political processes, and the resilience of the human spirit. My book melds three experiences: the unique, interpersonal relationships that developed throughout the journey, my memories of growing up, and news of the war on Iraq, as the war loomed and fighting began. My quest challenged me to explore the mythic components in ordinary people and events. Landscapes expressed local mythologies. Belief systems were seen through the eyes of Africans I encountered. Conversations became a song of my life along the edge of a dream. Softcover [$19.95] Write Review Read Reviews ISBN: 1-4241-2497-2, 195 pages, 6 x 9
