In the Steel City, "Yinzer" is a term of endearment, reserved for the city's most beloved and embraced by locals as a symbol of the grit and determination that Pittsburgh endows anyone from there. The city's undeniable impact on the character and life of those who grew up there has shaped iconic figures of American sports, entertainment and culture. Legends of the gridiron such as Jim Kelly, Tony Dorsett, Dan Marino and Joe Namath forged their football prowess in Western Pennsylvania. Business pioneers including Mark Cuban, Ray Werner and Bill Strickland were ingrained with the value of hard work in the Steel City. Music and movie stars like Jeff Goldblum, George Benson and Billy Gardell found creative inspiration in Pittsburgh that led to new heights. Author Dick Roberts presents profiles, interviews and memories from some of the most famous and adored Pittsburghers.

In a world that cries out for civility and healing, this is the only book about Mister Rogers' Neighborhood by an author who actually calls the place home. Known for his joyful humor, author Chris Rodell tells the story of how Latrobe influenced a young Fred Rogers, how the adult Fred Rogers influenced Latrobe and how both combined to influence him and the world. It relates how visionary educators are beginning to equate Mister Rogers with spiritual leaders like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. It tells the stories of couples he married, souls he saved and asks if calling him "Christ-like" is blasphemous or accurate. It has previously untold stories of Rogers being a life-saving superhero and of him being perfectly human. Governor Tom Ridge in his admiring foreword says: "Rodell writes about Latrobe and its native son the way Sinatra sings about New York, unflinching about the gritty realities, but with abiding affection and relentless positivity about the future." In the end, the book is about how we can turn the entire planet into Mister Rogers' Neighborhood beginning inside our very own hearts.

Meet me, Burgh Blonde, Pittsburgh's token single girl. This book picks up where Sex and the City left off but with a blue-collar, working-class American twist. In Pittsburgh, we're known for our sports teams, Primanti's sandwiches, and kitschy yinzer language. This book puts into context exactly what it's like to date men from the City of Champions and what a woman has to put up with when we are growing more successful and independent while the men are reverting back to cavemen. This book is not for the faint of heart. There is sex, foul language, and magical metaphors to keep you hooked from start to finish. These eighteen short stories give you an up-close-and-personal look into my private sex life and all the dirty hijinks that comes with it. After reading this book, you will know what it's like to give a BJ to a UFC fighter, have a three-way on an official Air Force barracks, how to have sex with a furry, and dare I say, even weirder stuff. Not only will the ladies of all ages enjoy reading about the ridiculous men in this book, but also, men will be fascinated to know what women really think of them because in Burgh Blonde, I spill all the tea. For as long as I remember, I've been making people laugh with my stories and comedy. That's why I finally decided to give the people what they've been asking for. I am in no way a great literary author. I am simply a single girl with a ton of funny sex stories. So put your feet up, open a nice bottle of wine, and prepare yourself for a hilarious walk in this single gal's heels.

"Today philosophy's promises to enhance the lives of those who study it are couched, like justifications for the humanistic disciplines more generally, in circumspect terms. In the ancient world, however, philosophy commonly claimed for itself the status of an exclusive guide to happiness. Through philosophy's characteristic practices of argument and rational inquiry, its advocates believed, human beings could learn what was really good for themselves and free themselves from illusion. In the process, they would necessarily come to lead happier lives. This link between learning and action meant that philosophy was often regarded as an entire way of life, in which intellectual activity and practice were closely associated and mutually interdependent. Nowhere else in ancient literature is this ideal given such full and nuanced exposition as in the prose writings of Seneca, in which we can see a philosopher and literary artist of the first rank exploring in detail the dilemmas posed by the confrontation of the idea of the philosophical life with the historical and cultural specificity of the first-century CE Rome in which he wrote. His vast prose oeuvre defends, elaborates, and aims to make appealing this ideal of a life guided by disciplined thought. He is unequivocal about the necessary centrality of philosophy to any attempt at living a good life: philosophy, he writes, "shapes and forges the mind, it puts life in order, it directs actions, it points out what is to be done and what is not to be done, it sits at the helm and steers a course through the hazards of the waves" (animum format et fabricat, vitam disponit, actiones regit, agenda et omittenda demonstrat, sedet ad gubernaculum et per ancipitia fluctuantium derigit cursum, Ep. 16.3). A successful life, for Seneca as for many other ancient philosophers, is governed by, indeed constituted by, the practice of philosophy. His rich and varied corpus, I argue, presents us with a unique opportunity to learn how one reflective and well-informed ancient philosopher reconciled this ideal of philosophical living, and all the aspirations to independence and universality that come with it, to the fact that he and his readers were living in a sociopolitical setting with its own set of norms and customs. These customs, and the claims of community more generally, stand in potential contradiction with the practical guidance philosophy aims to supply. For Seneca, as we will see, this tension was a prodigiously fruitful one. Recent work has rehabilitated Seneca's standing as a major philosopher"--

This is the paperback edited version of the book and story of Bruce Hawes being a consistent hit music songwriter from a teenager in the recording industry, starting at Philadelphia International Records company, up to the present day in 2015. As in many stories there were triumphs and tragedies. In my story however, there were many lessons as well. And there were greater lessons that I learned after being deceived, and cheated many times. But I became successful in spite of those obstructions that stood in my way. My tragedies did not start nor stop once I was immersed in the business. But I found out along the way that there were a lot of wasted efforts and opportunities. This was not the case in the Jefferson, Hawes and Simmons writing team office and many other offices. But yes, there was one team who saw their chance at success just pass-them-by. You see this group took the casting couch approach. The only things they produced were a lot of moans, groans and unfulfilled promises of stardom. With hindsight always being 20-20, I look back now and see the loss of the one true love of my life, Barbara Ingram, as having a life changing effect upon me. Barbara was not only my life partner, but also my one woman cheering squad. No matter where I had to go, for whatever reason, I could close my eyes and see her smile of encouragement. To this day I can still hear her infectious giggle saying, "Wait until the world hears what you can do " The first tragedy I experienced, was when I came home from New York with Rena Sinakin, my life long friend and Co-Producer of Gladys Knight and the Pips, to find that my step daughter, Barbara's daughter "De'neen," had died that day at the tender age 11 from a ruptured appendix. Barbara had a nervous breakdown and so did our relationship over the next ten years. But as fate would have it, our paths brought us together again, only to be separated by two separate acts of violence and unexpected illness. I was attacked in my home. I jumped from a loft area and shattered both feet. The doctors incorrectly predicted that I would never walk again. Through great determination I proved them wrong. My dearest Barbara didn't fare as well. She had an aneurysm and died from a hemorrhage of the brain. A part of me died with her. Through the grace and strength of will inspired by Barbara and my faith in God, like the Phoenix I rose from the ashes that my life had disintegrated into. I have had my share of triumphs and tragedies but all in all, I truly grew up in The Sound Of Philadelphia. - Bruce Hawes
