Every individual must look within themselves to decide what will make their life truly spectacular. For the author it is all about travel: the excitement of discovery and learning along the way and capturing those moments in an equally spectacular image.This book tells the story of the author's travels throughout his life with an emphasis on his love of photography and the national parks. It traces his journey from childhood, when he first experienced the time-honored road trip with his parents, through his military service, overseas and in the U.S., along with his many years in corporate America, each presenting him with new and unique travel opportunities. The wake-up call of a cancer diagnosis set him on the path to his most exciting adventures yet. He left his job, downsized his life, and moved into an RV to make travel his full-time focus rather than a thing he did only on vacation. He set a goal to visit and photograph all fifty-nine (at the time) national parks. Well on his way toward this goal, he experienced a major setback after an early-morning fire destroyed his RV and all his possessions, forcing him to rebuild his life to stay on the path to finishing his goal.

In Engaging the Silent Sufferer, Dr. Jerome Newton addresses the issues of shame, guilt, and disgrace that continually plague men and women who are suffering in silence. By its nature, abuse is a topic that is rarely discussed. Perpetrators remain silent because they recognize their acts could be deemed criminal, and victims remain silent because of many factors are addressed in this writing.Dr. Newton discloses the pains and wounds of those affected by such abuse while simultaneously exposing the perpetrators who inflicted the pain. Many have kept the secret of abuse to prevent punishment and embarrassment to the family's reputation, while the real crime of the abuse scenario is that of silence. The stories disclosed in this book include various types of abuse; however, sexual and/or physical abuse and the difficult conversations surrounding the incidents became the catalysts for the book.This book is designed to help give illumination and provide a vehicle of expression by: - Sharing stories of abuse that encourage those who are still suffering in silence to come out and be heard, understanding that they no longer have to hide their private struggles behind their public success.- Providing the necessary tools for those who are suffering in silence to regain freedom, rehabilitate their lives, and be empowered to live with strength, honor and dignity.- Providing assistance through the resources available via clinical or pastoral counseling, as well as other professional venues.

"This is what I've done. I made it to the Atlantic ocean on foot, and I screamed out loud: I have inoperable cancer. The ocean responded. It said, You're crazy, but don't you stop now. Each cancer patient's journey begins from the moment our disease is diagnosed; then it's up to us, and only us, to decide which way we should go. It doesn't matter which road we'll take or where it will take us; what matters is how we'll get there. As Lao Tzu said, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, and I second that."

We all make choices in our lives. Sometimes, the freedom to pick between many different options can feel more like bondage than freedom. Sometimes, our freedom of choice is a prison. Literally, yet, God can take any choice we make and turn it into His glory and victory.Author Sylvia Ramos-Paneque's CHOICES: A Bail Bondswoman's Reflections is the harrowing, autobiographical account of the many life choices she made that led her to serve jail time in a Mexican prison for smuggling drugs in the early 1980s.

After years of making "wrong" decisions, God's choice to provide the author with employment as a bail bondswoman for over the following twenty years turned her choices into God's decision to help countless others in similar situations.

Marked by cultural revolution and bold, new ways of thinking and living, including revolutions in philosophical thought, economic practices, and cultural touchstones such as music and dress, the 1960s ushered in a new era. However, in Generation '68: The Elite Revolution and Its Legacy, prolific author Kerry R. Bolton argues that the supposed "grassroots" youth revolt of the 1960s was anything but; instead of a bottom-up revolt of the youth, it was in fact a top-down revolt of the elites. Bolton echoes the assessment that both the left and its supposed antithesis, capitalism, share in their roots a rebellious spirit against authenticity, and he goes on to stress how the manipulation of the "youth revolt" played a primary role in what has brought us to the modern predicament, a world completely lacking in objectivity and authenticity. Generation '68 exposes the phoniness of the 1960s youth revolt for what it is and delves into its various aspects and effects, including: the Cold War CIA origins of certain youth movements; the "hip capitalism" of Woodstock, Hair, and Hollywood co-optations; federal agency and foundation funding for "radical" groups, including Students for a Democratic Society (SDS); the '68 "revolts" in Paris, the United States, and Prague; and employment of New Leftists in the Peace Corps, VISTA, etc. Taking advantage of the fact that these events were thoroughly documented, Bolton uses an extensive trail of evidence to make his case. Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to publish this latest masterpiece from Kerry R. Bolton: Generation '68: The Elite Revolution and Its Legacy.

Nobody Is Smarter Than Everybody questions the conventional thinking that prescribes how we organize work. For well over one hundred years, the centralized top-down hierarchy has served as the prototypical model for managing the work of large numbers of people Despite its longstanding presence in everyday social life, the centralized top-down hierarchy is an idea whose time has passed. The notion that the most effective way to organize the work of large numbers of people is to leverage the intelligence of an elite few by giving them command-and-control authority is no longer a sustainable proposition. That's because, in our new Digital Age, the world is changing much faster than any single person or any elite group of like-minded individuals can absorb.The book highlights the sudden unprecedented challenges of a radically different business world, describes why conventional management models are ill-equipped to meet these challenges, and acquaints readers with a new organizational paradigm-the self-managed peer-to-peer network-where leadership and decision-making are exercised by teams rather than individuals. The book spotlights three organizations that have decades of experience in using collective intelligence and shared power to assure their longevity as they navigate business environments continually transformed by increasing change and escalating complexity.Nobody Is Smarter Than Everybody is for leaders who are open to learning about the extraordinary advantages that self-managed networks provide through better and faster problem solving, more effective and efficient work processes, and consistent customer satisfaction and profitability. You will become proficient with practical steps you can take to build organizations that can change as fast as the world around you.
