Marcel's perfectly imperfect Saturday morning is full of adventure from the time he awakes and exchanges greetings with some of his very close friends. This journey begins with Mr. Sun who is wearing a golden top hat blowing golden sun dust into the air. Jay, the beautiful French bluebird, appears at the window and begins to sing their morning song as Marcel prepares for this very special perfectly imperfect morning. Afterward, Marcel plays a trick on his gullible two older brothers, Kayden and Ayden, who are already dressed to play in their little league championship game. Then, the three of them join Momma and Papa in the kitchen for a breakfast made for champions. Momma with flippity-floppity fluffy bunny slippers on is cooking Marcel's favorite chocolate chip crepes with whip cream and bananas. Papa is at the table reading the Morning Star newspaper with his googly goggles on as he sips hot coffee on this special morning. From volcano eruptions on the island of Whatcha-ma-call-it to Marcel's outlandish last-minute breakfast request, his whimsical imagination takes the whole family on a morning journey of Marcel's quest for self-discovery.

Vincent Mercury has been living a life of peace since he left the Marines. However, his peace comes to an abrupt end at the very moment the first pod lands and completely obliterates a nearby city. With his best friend and Army Veteran, Greg Benson, better known as Ed, they decide they cannot turn their backs to the chaos. Against their better judgement, they rush into the destroyed area. After their first encounter with a poddy, they quickly find that they are in for a much bigger war than they're used to. After finding more survivors, Alexa and Travis, the duo becomes a team and is forced to continue trying to survive in secrecy, as the poddies, crooked bastards, and machines patrol the streets. They have no goal in mind, other than survival. They have no hope. But, on the bright side, they have each other...or do they? When a new threat is introduced to the world, they must question the loyalties of one another, but they must find a way to continue without imploding...

The Methodology of Herbert Blumer is a comprehensive critical account of the contributions of this important American sociologist to the methodology of social research. In a close reading of Blumer's texts, the author charts the development of Blumer's thinking, revealing a tension between a reductive empiricism and an emphasis on the importance of theory in social research.

Well known for its oil and gas production, Kermit was originally founded by ranchers needing a supply hub in an isolated area of West Texas. An 1876 campaign by Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie helped rid the area of Comanche Indians, and prompted by the state's policy for free use of its land, ranchers quickly moved in. This population growth resulted in the establishment of Winkler County in 1887. Competition between nearby towns for the title of county seat lasted until 1910, when Kermit's offer of free lots won it the designation. Though the town later experienced a drought, which severely crippled the population, the discovery of oil on ranchland owned by Thomas G. and Ada Hendrick in 1926 helped the town boom. Today Kermit's economy is sustained by ranching and oil and gas production.

We are at a critical moment in our nation's history. Never have the differences between our major political parties been greater; never have the stakes been higher. To whom or to what do we turn for guidance? Let's be honest. The Bible, which for many of us has been the source of comfort, inspiration and wisdom, has as many facets as a diamond carved by an expert jeweler. The answers are there, but come in so many disguises, from so many different perspectives, that only a master can lead us through the labyrinth that lies in its pages. Such a master is Kenneth Hanson, professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Central Florida, and such a book is The Eagle and the Bible. Here is a refreshing look at the parallels between holy writ and American history - uncovering the degree to which both are rooted in an eternal battle for lean and limited government, in opposition to top-heavy centralized authority. The thesis, the theme, and the underlying truth is that the struggle for liberty, justice and freedom present from the nation's founding is paralleled in the struggles for liberty, justice and freedom experienced by the heroes of the Bible. Hanson reveals an anti-establishment, anti-big government current in the biblical stories (challenging the "authoritarian" rule of David, Solomon and others) that is today more relevant than ever. The Eagle and the Bible comes to us at a time of great need for insight. It fulfills that need and gives us the courage to meet the challenges of this extraordinary time.
