Closing in on eight decades of life gives one dramatic pause, a time for a deep breath then a long exhale, realizing how little time is left but grabbing a chance to reflect on all that has gone before; a time when one can stop, listen, take a step back and look around. Following his first book of free verse poetry on the thematic process of growing old, Starts And Stops Along The Way, this new book, Looking Around, is a collection of personal views that lament the injustices, disappointments, fruitless searches for answers, while seeing hope for some tomorrows, gratitude for much, yet still worrying about the direction of a society in which morals, meaning and purpose seem more difficult to find. These are not lecture or judgmental poems, but rather challenges for deeper thinking, for determined efforts to save our planet, to sustain a way of life that has worked well for many, and to improve a way of life for many others placing us all together on a solid road to our future.

An extraordinary glimpse inside the human journey to live with integrity, with wholeness by 21 diverse people who share their stories with stunning honesty and openness... In his contribution to the book, Parker J. Palmer writes: From the moment I began writing fifty years ago, I've known that my ideas wouldn't matter much if they simply sat there, inert, on the printed page. So I am deeply grateful for people who "put wheels" on those ideas-people who find ways to take their inner work into the outer world and show up on the job and in other parts of their lives with their identity and integrity movement to fulfill the human possibility, a movement that's forever calling us to embody what it means to be truly human intact. The contributors to this book have done exactly that. Here they share their stories of what it means to decide to "rejoin soul and role" and live "divided no more..." All of these people are participants in what I have called the "movement model of social change." The movements from which I drew this model sometimes have big names-the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Movement, the Velvet Revolution. But at bottom, the movement I have in mind has been unfolding in ways small and large since our species first achieved consciousness. It is the ancient movement to fulfill the human possibility, a movement that's forever calling us to embody what it means to be truly human.

Rogers' enlightening essays, compiled over 20 years of working with families, do not tell us how to do parenting; they show us how to be a parent.

He believes that parents have an instinctive desire to gain knowledge because it helps us to be better moms or dads.

This research based and influenced book, The Incredible Importance of Effective Parenting is packed full of common sense knowledge that will help us in our most important role, parent. Plain Talk About Raising Children From a Concerned Field Worker

Bill Hancock takes the reader on an adventure that chronicles life in the early fifties. M1 Brothers is a fast paced story that mingles military adventure with history, espionage, courage, honor, and humor. The M1 Brothers find fraternity, love and deception; deal with psychological issues, and create mischief akin to MASH. Main character, Charlie Canfield, CC to all, is the reluctant scion of a lineage of warriors. He worries about his ability to emulate these heroic predecessors even though he possesses the means that can make it possible. Hancock's cruel and cunning North Korean master spy is Bek Man Sue. His goal is to disrupt and overturn the South Korean government, while brutally punishing adversaries. Brian Roberts is the uniquely talented pawn in this masterful tale as it whirls across the treacherous hills behind the DMZ (demilitarized zone).

Rogers' free verse and scattered narratives, filled with humor and insight, invites the reader to share observations, opinions, philosophies, hopes and dreams, successes and failures of a life unique, yet common to us all. You will enjoy being part of this universal look at how it feels to grow old, taking us up to the heights and down to the pits of living. A great read; a daily reread.
