A light-hearted look at Jethro Tull. Each chapter is a musical journey through the song, looking at what was happening with the band at that time. There is also time to recognise the musician's intrinsic and fantastic contributions to the musical world of Jethro Tull.

These poems seek out the intimate stranger in ourselves and each other, finding as well the sense of absence alive in the midst of all deeper experience. That may be beyond our rationale understanding, but it is opportune, even compelling, for the imagination and for love, its scars the beauty marks of a joy fleeting and universal. These poems report that oldest and latest news.

"... a deeply moving novel ... good storytelling ... memorable characters ... compelling narrative ... strong story...." Judge, Writer's Digest 21st Annual Self-Published Book Awards. Smitty Wesson was more akin to the lonely falcon than his war-scarred father until he found a home in the army. When he became "battle-rattled" himself in Iraq, he needed others to "watch his back," including Abby, the girl of his dreams. The Falcon and the Mourning Dove is a wartime romantic novel with timeless dimensions--gritty, packed with stark realities of war, and edgy human relationships. A sniper and medic form a symbiotic rapport during the Iraq war. The story follows Smitty and Abby through their difficulties going into the army, through training, and deployment to Iraq. An intense year of combat with their National Guard brigade spins their developing relationship into peril under stresses of deep physical and psychological wounds. This story of love in war refreshes Tolstoy's question of whether lives are pre-determined or shaped by responses to events. Smitty Wesson is a classic bad boy and underachiever raised by his father, an affected Vietnam veteran, after his mother died. He is more invested in guns, motorcycles, and brawling than conforming to societal norms. The army offers redemption and a chance to find his roots. In basic training Smitty discovers he needs friends to "watch his back." But all his human relationships remain tenuous. Abby Arden enlists as an army medic in her quest to become a physician. She also needs help and find it with a streetwise black girl, the rebel from her hometown, and eventually his recovering father. Smitty and Abby are sternly tested as they evolve, haunted by stark impressions of combat in wartime Iraq. When their dreams are dashed against hard reality, their lives take radical turns. This emotional roller-coaster of American veterans is at once heartwarming and heartbreaking. After years of uniformed service, the author served for two years in Iraq as a civilian advisor.

"True to his title there are many fathers (along with a few prominent women) celebrated here, foremost his own father Joe Howard "Buzz" Taylor, as well as ancestors like Reuben Taylor, first of his Kentucky line, surrogate fathers including his Uncle Louis and best friend David Orr, and his son, now a father himself, continuing the generational saga. But recalling that the child is father of the man, the chief reason to welcome this book is for the insights it affords into Taylor's early life story, including nostalgic accounts of his childhood in and around Louisville, Kentucky, vivid portraits of the people who shaped his development, and his reckoning with the fraught history of the Civil War and his legacy as a southerner. Taylor says this may be as close to an autobiography as he is apt to write, which is all the more reason to cherish these sketches from the life of a true Kentucky literary treasure."-Larry W. Moore, publisher, Broadstone Books

Written by the only son of President Zachary Taylor, this book is the story of the War Between the States and its aftermath as seen through the eyes of a Confederate General. When it first appeared in print, it was tauted by such leading Southern organizations as the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Southern Historical Society as a valuable resource for future historians.

Following Army M.I. protocol, you are sent on a training exercise to a city you've never visited before and ordered to surveil a public person ('public persons' having little recourse if their privacy is invaded). You can't believe your good fortune. You draw the assignment to surveil Marilyn Monroe. It is early August, 1962, and you have just been made a witness to the murder of Hollywood's biggest star. Red Mist is a fast-paced thriller that recreates the world of 1960s America, a decade obsessed with sex, violence, and espionage. Follow David Dengler as he flees from unknown assassins, and struggles to stay alive as dark forces compress him from all sides. What David Dengler doesn't know - he has a rendezvous with death... in Dealey Plaza.

There is a certain rhythm to war. Even if you pick up the rhythm and dance in tune, you may not make it to the final number. If you do come out all right, the rhythm stays with you for the rest of your life. Someone said "no one likes rhyming poetry any more." That may be true. But along with rhythm there's rhyme and meter and beat ... as well as bullets. This collection of the author is pulled from his own highly personal experiences in Vietnam, Grenada, the Cold War, Iraq, and Afghanistan. For the most part, the verses rhyme and carry the rhythm of war.

Destruction and Reconstruction: Personal Experiences of the Late War by Richard Taylor DESTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION: PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF THE LATE WAR. BY RICHARD TAYLOR,

Setting an outlandish goal and then achieving it, is not all that's it's cracked up to be.It's done all the time.Whether it's stuffing seventeen people in a VW Beetle or walking on the Moon, the real story is the process. Flying an airplane upside down over the Magnetic North Pole, just to see what the compass does in that configuration, is no exception.It took Pat Epps and Richard Taylor, three annual attempts to achieve this goal. But, in the end, they did Roll the Pole.Engine problems thwarted the first attempt and horrific Arctic weather killed the second. But perseverance prevailed in the third.This Arctic journey quickly morphed into an eleven-year adventure in search of The Lost Squadron, the six P-38s and two B-17s lost on the Greenland icecap in 1942. And thus did Glacier Girl emerge.

Our 114 page paperback perpetual almanac uses the contemporary annual cycle of festivals, known as the Wheel of the Year to share stories, sayings, superstitions and traditions which were originally published in our Country Wisdom & Folklore diary and features black & whites images throughout. Its aim is to bring together a selection of some of the most interesting folklore we have come across and share it with you in a way that assists you in observing the cycles of the year. Following the tradition of almanacs noting celestial events the wheel of the year brings together the Anglo Saxon tradition of observing the solstices & equinoxes with the Celtic tradition of celebrating fire festivals tied to the phases of the Moon.Observing the cycle of the seasons has been important to many people, both ancient and modern. By keeping alive some of the folklore traditions we cannot help but become more observant of nature and her seasonal variations whilst acknowledging their importance to our ancestors and thereby keeping us connected to our shared past. We hope this collection proves an enjoyable way to experience the year ahead.
