Capt. Burgess used his 19th century logbooks to describe his sailing career. He went to sea as a lad of 16 but quickly rose to first mate and then to command vessels while still a young man. His trips around treacherous Cape Horn in the "nitrate trade" (gathering guano off Chile), to booming San Francisco, rough-and-tumble Honolulu and exotic Hong Kong, barely surviving tropical fevers in the Bight of Benin off Africa's west coast - survived mutiny and brushes with would-be pirates. Capt. Burgess was born 1838 at the lighthouse tended by his father on the Gurnet, guarding the entrance to the harbor at Plymouth, Mass. In between the often dangerous trips there were peaceful interludes: train trips from New York to Boston to Plymouth to spend relaxing weeks with his family . . . a summer away from the "tall ships," skippering a catboat as a party boat for summer visitors to Plymouth.

The Crosswords of America is a fitting motto for the Hoosier state. For here, thousands of miles of roads, rails, canals, lake frontage, rivers, and runways have allowed people and products to move from one corner of Indiana to another and beyond. No wonder Hoosiers have so many transportation memories those long school-bus rides, Sunday drives to Grandma's, a first glimpse of an arching river bridge, endless railroad-crossing waits, watching the slow churning progress of a tow boat with its string of barges, a first airplane flight, steady paychecks from a local auto plant, or the lonely departure from a Greyhound station. Each compelling photograph in this remarkable collection will trigger such reminiscences some pleasant, some sad, but all special.

This book is a must-have for anyone who already has or who is thinking of getting a rabbit. It's an equally good fit for those who care about animals or who believe in the power of kindness and love. The twenty-five true stories are primarily about rescued rabbits, most of whom endure traumatic beginnings but end up in loving homes. 
 Containing beautiful photographs and original art, this volume invites people to reconsider the standard view of rabbits as little more than cute and cuddly. Readers quickly learn that the small creatures are courageous, intelligent, and independent, and that they have a strong, positive influence on the people who care for them. The stories offer a respite in our otherwise hectic lives, provide hope and healing, and inspire us to become more gentle in our dealings with others. 
 Bestselling authors Susan Chernak McElroy and Dr. Bernie Siegel each penned a personal story, and the eloquent Foreword to the book was contributed by Dr. Michael W. Fox. Each story is followed by an About Rabbits piece that explains something about rabbits, ranging from diet to deafness. The back matter contains several excellent articles, including Dr. Angela Lennox on dental care and elementary teacher Cheryl Rosemary Abbott on helping children show love and respect for an animal companion. 
 The book is for mid-elementary students through adults and also appropriate for reading aloud to younger children.

Building Hope: the first 25 years of Housing Hope

The Housing Hope story unfolds over 25 years from church basements to the halls of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It's a story of local people who want to solve family homelessness and make a dent in the affordable housing crisis. From humble beginnings, the Building Hope chronicle portrays how a community comes together to make stone soup. At the heart of the story is the word HOPE. The founders of Housing Hope desired for every child to have a home and every parent to have hope for the family future. Formed as a housing development corporation the organization launched an amazing continuum of fifty five housing developments. Along the way it discovered that housing was more than an end, it could be a means to even higher ends. As new service programs were added over time the organization utilizing housing to create strong families and healthy communities. As the quarter century comes to an end a new economic development corporation, HopeWorks is created. This new entity is designed to replicate the Housing Hope model in a job training and employment initiative to produce career pathways for homeless families and indigent households through social enterprise businesses. As author David Buerge tells this story, he says this is no small potatoes.

Housing Hope

Myanmar in Southeast Asia is one of the least known places in the world, due to the military dictatorship that has isolated the country for the past sixty years. Now that the government is making the transition to democracy, the veil is slowly lifting, as are travel and economic sanctions. In Daybreak in Myanmar these images of a place once frozen in time are unique and timely.Photographer Geoffrey Hiller has been documenting the people of Burma since 1987 and has returned several times since the historic opening in 2011 to capture evidence of change, not only images of rallies for Aung San Suu Kyi, but the anticipation, hope and concerns of a nation forgotten by the world. Following his award-winning web documentary from 2000, Burma: Grace Under Pressure, Hiller is publishing this selection of 170 color photographs. They are accompanied by interviews with British journalist Francis Wade, who spoke with several prominent Burmese: political dissident Dr. Ma Thida, historian Dr. Thant Myint U, activist monk U Gambira, author Pascal Khoo Thwe, blogger Nay Phone Latt, and memoirist Ma Thanegi. Their words add depth to the images, covering topics such as native spirits and Buddhism, being arrested for blogging, and growing up in an ethnic village on the border.

As Tim McCarver points out in the Foreword, Chris Wheeler is accomplished at telling stories Wheels can paint word pictures like few broadcasters in any sport. His View from the Booth encompasses memorable portraits of people and places, all the highs and lows of four decades with the never-boring Philadelphia Phillies. Reflecting his style behind the mike, Chris writing is conversational. Some familiar anecdotes he retells in his own unique way. But many more are original, the personal memories of a career that has realized childhood dreams.
 It s all here, from the triumphs of 1980 and 2008 to far less successful seasons. How a whim of the irrepressible Whitey Ashburn first put Chris behind a Phillies mike; how Paul Owens celebrated a memorable birthday in Lancaster; why Eric Gregg had to back off the field; how John Vukovich learned to eat like a gentleman. You ll learn about how a few words can define a manager s career, when our super scout imitated a lion, how Terry Francona actually made Nolan Ryan smile, and what it was really like behind the Vet s scoreboard. You ll relive all the Opening Day extravaganzas of that master showman, Bill Giles, and get a float-top view of both parades. And you ll join in the spontaneous celebration that came to be called The Wheeler. In the final chapter, you ll relive with Chris his own reaction to losing his longtime partner in the booth, Harry Kalas.
 What is not here is mean-spiritedness. Any inevitable foibles are recounted with insight, honesty, and often self-deprecating humor. That s life, in or out of baseball. If it sometimes seems too good to be true, well, that pretty much sums up Wheels career. We all have our disappointments, but these are the authentic memories of a man who has had the good fortune to do what he loves. You re invited to share them.
