The 50 Year Dash is a wonderful book of reflections on everything that's part of life at fifty: looking at aches and pains as a growth industry, and seeing the constant onslaught of new pain relievers as a new version of the British invasion of rock groups in the 1960s; finding that the world is no longer sufficiently quiet, and that you're the one yelling "Turn that down!"; realizing you're older than James Bond ever was; hearing yourself say, "The fruit plate looks good," and meaning it; understanding that the one thing that seems to be going away from you the fastest is that first-time feeling--first job, first house, first kiss--and knowing that the best thing you can do for yourself is to find ways to keep finding those feelings again and again. Between now and the year 2014, seventy-seven million American men and women--most of the baby boom generation--will turn fifty. That's about ten thousand birthdays per day. The 50 Year Dash is the perfect book for every single one of them.

When Tom Adams first returned to New York City from attending Cornell University in the fall of 1984, things were bleak; he had failed miserably at Cornell never having done a bit of work and now had to find a job. Short stints at employment agencies around the City were not going to make it for Tom - he had big dreams. Soon, things started taking a sinister turn; Tom was fairly certain someone or something would take his life soon and he was right. Labeled a madman for claiming to have been killed on the streets of Queens, New York and for claiming to be the greatest king Jesus ever created, he languished in New York for nearly twenty years until on February 3, 2005, he successfully predicted the hurricane Katrina disaster six months in advance to the President of the United States, Pope John Paul II, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Mike Bloomberg, Vladimir Putin and many others, effectively bringing to an end both Judaism as it is practiced today and Islam. The Kingdom Seeker the Diary of Saint Thomas the Divine is a book that on the one hand serves as another in a series of very serious vindications of Christian faith while on the other hand serves as the greatest treatise ever written in justification of Jewish Law. Likely the only truly accurate history of the world since 1984 by the chief architect of the Kingdom of God on earth, The Kingdom Seeker the Diary of Saint Thomas the Divine is a definite "must read" book for everyone who takes life seriously and that realizes the enormous importance religion has in it! The original letter that ended both Judaism and Islam is faithfully reproduced - along with other missives - in the book's appendix.

BURY ME IN AN OLD PRESS BOX is Fred Russell’s way of saying that he hopes the Hereafter will be half as much fun as the life of a sports writer. It is a book about sports and sports writing. There is a thread of autobiography in it, though the book’s main fabric is woven of joyful episodes and anecdotes involving many of sports’ best-known personalities. There is comedy on nearly every page, supporting the author’s thesis that the humorous twists and delightful oddballs contribute as much to the fun of sports as do the generally happy circumstances in which games are played and enjoyed. Mingled with these lighthearted aspects are the eye-filling views that a widely-roving sportswriter has of the whole sports panorama. While Russell’s base is Nashville and the Nashville Banner, his beat is the nation. His lack of provincialism is indicated by his regular authorship of the Saturday Evening Post’s annual “Pigskin Preview.” A change of pace in the frolicsome pattern of the book is Russell’s considered judgments on a good many of the sports personalities he has seen and known, and his analysis of each major sport’s basis of appeal. He also states the case for sports in general, cleverly and perhaps more convincingly than it has ever been argued before.

When the modern Olympic movement was launched in Paris in 1894, the goal was to create a global festival of sport that would unite athletes and nations in the spirit of sportsmanship and goodwill. The Olympic movement went on to achieve that lofty goal, but its founders could never have imagined that the Games could be used in equal measure to further mankind's darkest ambitions. The XI, XII, & XIII Olympiads, the eleventh volume in The Olympic Century series, begins with the story of perhaps the most controversial Games ever held - Berlin 1936. The volume documents how the Nazi dictator Adolph Hitler tried to use the Olympics as a global stage to demonstrate the might of his fearsome Third Reich and to promote his hateful theories on racial superiority. But flying in the face of Hitler's propaganda machine, there was the singular triumph of the black American Jesse Owens, the grandson of slaves, who made a mockery of the very idea of a "e;master race"e; by dominating the Games with four gold medals.Following Berlin, the focus of the book shifts to the years just before and during World War II, when summer and winter Olympiads in 1940 and 1944 were sacrificed as the world plunged into darkness. After the war, the question remained whether enough goodwill existed among nations to sustain the modern Olympic movement. But the book ends on a hopeful note in 1948 at the Winter Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where a 20-year-old figure skater from Canada named Barbara Anne Scott charmed the crowds with her beauty, grace and precision and reminded the world of what the Olympics can be.Juan Antonio Samaranch, former President of the International Olympic Committee, called The Olympic Century, "e;The most comprehensive history of the Olympic games ever published"e;.
