From Strawberry Fields to Abbey Road (hardback)

release date: May 10, 2023
From Strawberry Fields to Abbey Road (hardback)
An absorbing look at one of the wildest rumors to ever come out of the entertainment world- the "Paul is Dead" legend. The authors detail the history behind the rumor, and numerous figures from show business, as well as Beatles experts, share their own thoughts on the subject, as well as how the Beatles impacted their lives. From Strawberry Fields to Abbey Road: A Billy Shears Story features contributions from many celebrities and music industry insiders. Included are: Fred LaBour (generally credited with creating the "Paul is Dead" legend), Laurence Juber (member of the band Wings), Steve Boone (member of the band The Lovin'' Spoonful), Bruce Spizer (author of many books on the Beatles, considered the expert on Beatlemania), Susan Olsen (Cindy on The Brady Bunch), actor/comedian Richard Belzer, Ivor Davis (British journalist who covered the Beatles 1964 American tour), Oscar-nominated actress Sally Kirkland, Vera Ramone King (wife of Dee Dee Ramone), Leslie Cavendish (the Beatles'' personal barber), Tony Peck (actor/screenwriter son of Gregory Peck), John Barbour (creator and co-host of the TV show Real People), Diane Renay (recording artist best known for the 1963 hit single Navy Blue, was the Beatles first choice to be their opening act), Richie Furay (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, co-founded Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills and Neil Young), Victoria Jackson (actress best known as a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live), Mickey Leigh (musician, brother of Joey Ramone), Bob Cowsill (of the band The Cowsills), veteran actor Nick Mancuso (best known for starring in the TV Series Stingray), and Jon Provost (Timmy on the Lassie TV series), among many others. "I was as fascinated as the rest of the world with the ''Paul is Dead'' rumors. I think he''s still alive, but this is a book that''s long overdue!" - Kathy Garver, star of the TV series Family Affair. "The Beatles changed the way we listen to music. Like Elvis, they were revolutionary. At first playful, they metamorphosed into writing thought provoking, dynamic music which shall be listened to, and appreciated, by all generations. My favorite is ''Elinor Rigby.'' Haunting. A whole play and life story in one song. Coming from Norway, ''Norwegian Wood'' ranks second on my list. Lyrical and romantic. And, of course, ''Let it Be, '' which should be our universal anthem. To me, the Beatles'' legacy is the universally heartfelt communality of their storytelling they gifted us. With their music ringing in my ears, I will never be ''Lost in Space!''" - Marta Kristen, star of the TV series Lost in Space. "We really enjoyed the multi-faceted approaches of this book and it was a pleasure to contribute our input to it. It''s a joy-packed voyage back to a magical era that will probably never happen again in human history. Nowadays, things are very splintered into thousands of different, separate little niches. Everything is diverse- basically all over the place. The unique element about the whole Beatles phenomenon is that it was just so incredibly focused. The whole country knew that The Beatles were going to appear live on television Sunday night. Everybody knew it. Everybody watched it. Everybody talked about it the next day. Everybody was on the same page. It was just so unique. The book is unique also because it captures many of the wonders associated with that phenomenon and does so in ways that haven''t been done before. " - Richard Belzer & David Wayne, best selling authors.

Making the Shift to Online Learning
Online learning is more complicated than most people think. I''ve seen many students that did well with in-person learning but struggled mightily with online learning. But it doesn''t have to be that way.There are crucial adjustments you can make that will significantly improve your online learning experience. These crucial adjustments are what I call the five keys. Based on my experience, these five keys are the changes that will have the biggest positive impact.How will these five keys improve your learning experience? Simply put, you''ll be less stressed and get better grades. I can make that claim because I have seen it happen with online students I''ve coached and advised. I also experienced it first-hand as I completed my master''s degree in a program that was 100% online.

The Ripple Effect

release date: Mar 20, 2018
The Ripple Effect
My grandchildren and I were standing at the edge of a still lake feeding the ducks, when my granddaughter picked up a pebble and tossed it into the lake. The pebble quickly sank to the bottom of the lake, but the effect of the pebble created many ripples. They keep spreading and spreading from the center and there was no way to stop them. The Ripple Effect is based on the concept that we are connected. We can and do affect each other. The result is a building of community that will affect how we treat others and the way we live our lives. All of us have passion for something as well as a vision and hope to use our gifts and talents for a greater purpose. The Ripple Effect was originally written as a textbook for a character class curriculum using an athletic medium designed to change the culture of sport that provided collegiate student athletes with application model for character-driven athletics. Today, it has become a resource that provides a guide that can apply to anyone who has an interest in desiring to pursue competitive excellence that emulates Christ. We live in a culture today that promotes comfort, not challenges. We want instant gratification free from consequences of our choices. Our choices and actions represent who we are; what we believe and define our character. The ripple effect provides a foundation for a person to better understand who they can become. The most important relationship a person will ever have is with themselves. The question is, are we doing the best they can to become more than they have become. Each ripple has a message, which is the pebble, a theme, which is the ripple effect, and an application that provides the action necessary to develop and improve character. To reach significance in the athletic arena as well as life one needs to be able to embrace competition, establish quality relationships, and develop values, "rules of the road" that become the lifestyle. What happens when we experience the ripple effect? We become a person with a Christ-like perspective with a renewed purpose, a new sense of direction, and enhanced relationships.

Seek This, Not That

Seek This, Not That
What you focus on makes all the difference. We have often been misled on what to seek in life. For example, many people spend a large amount of time chasing happiness. Chasing happiness isn''t how you find happiness. Happiness is not achieved directly. Seek This, Not That is about noticing where you have been misled and choosing a different and better focus. Changing what you focus on you can change your life. Through the sharing of personal stories and scientific research, Mr. Wilson illustrates how a change in focus can have a profound impact on your personal growth and success. The answer to the question: "How to succeed in life" is often answered by first shifting your perspective. Some of the other topics covered in the book include: how fear can help you, how multitasking is slowing you down, how work life balance is overrated, the importance of letting go, having gratitude even for life''s challenges, personal boundaries are healthy, the gold within adversity and why you need more curiosity. Seek This Not That is a product of Smartful Coaching, a Business Coaching & Life Coaching firm based in Phoenix, AZ. Bob Wilson is the owner and coach. Happy Seeking!

Seventy-One Guns

release date: Apr 13, 2012
Seventy-One Guns
In the summer of 1970, England was buzzing about the new football season. More than 30 million television viewers had watched the previous year''s FA Cup final and the brilliant Brazilians had dazzled audiences during the Mexico World Cup. The new age of televised highlights meant that football''s profile had never been greater, generating a new celebrity status for footballers and catapulting them into the limelight like never before. The 1970-71 season did not disappoint as Arsenal achieved the first Double of football''s televised era amid controversy and drama. The Football League and FA Cup were won at the end of a campaign that included a street fight in Rome, the emergence of new young stars and unrest and unhappiness among some of the older players. Seventy-One Guns includes extensive interviews with the Arsenal players and coaches and, through their memories, ancedote and opinions, recreates the drama of that memorable season. Looking beyond Highbury''s Marble Hall, the book also recounts some of the events that made 1970-71 a historic time in English football in general, including: the rise of Leeds under Don Revie; the demise of Manchester United and the problems of George Best; football''s attempt to clamp down on the hard men; and troubled times for Alf Ramsey''s England in the wake of the Mexico World Cup. Seventy-One Guns is a must for all Arsenal fans and all those who fondly recall the days of mutton-chop sideburns, white boots and mud-heap pitches.
