For over 50 years, we have watched as television has entertained, informed, comforted, and thrilled us. We watched as sitcoms evolved from I Love Lucy to All in the Family: at first merely amusing, then becoming reflections of society and pushing the cultural boundaries. We watched President Kennedy, the first-born of television and politics, unite us in the optimism of his "new frontier" and in the grief of his assassination. Television has taken us to the scene of mass celebrations, such as the wedding of Lady Diana to Prince Charles, to calamities in Munich and New York, and into frightening fields of battle in Vietnam and Iraq. Television exposed the imperfections of the jurors' box in the trial of O.J. Simpson and the ballot box in Election 2000. Television put us in the front row when Hank broke Babe's record, when the U.S. hockey team beat the Soviets in Lake Placid, and when the NFL spilled over from Sunday afternoons to Monday nights. Over 50 years of memories-the stars, the programs, and the events stored in our hearts and imaginations like treasured heirlooms-are found in this new hardcover multimedia book from veteran New York Times best-selling author Joe Garner. In Stay Tuned, he has gathered 36 landmark moments from news, sports, and entertainment in a riveting anthology. Each story comes to life through detailed, behind-the-scenes accounts and firsthand anecdotes, and is illustrated with hundreds of poignant black-and-white and color photographs. The book's accompanying CDs and DVD feature the corresponding clips, narrated by Walter Cronkite for news, Bob Costas for sports, and (TK) for entertainment.TV's Unforgettable Moments is certain to become an important and lasting chronicle of the medium-and a best-seller in the process.

His previous books (all best sellers) Never Fly Over an Eagle s Nest, Never a Time to Trust, Never Chop Your Rope and Never Under the Table earned him the title as the Never Author, but he's never dull. How could he be with the stories he has to tell of his ener¬getic and action-packed life? Born in 1907, Joe Garner is back with his fifth book. The theme? His pioneer life from his boyhood on Saltspring Island through his youth eking out a living during the Depression of the 1930s, supervising tough wartime con¬struction jobs, operating as many as 20 logging camps and breeding show¬winning cattle on his ranch south of Nanaimo. Never Forget the Good Times highlights parts of his fascinating life he never got around to writing about. It shows the uiiknown side ... Joe Garner, the family man. This latest Garner story is as engaging as the man who can share, but with only a few, the title of Mr. British Columbia.

"I purposely waited until I retired from driving so the book would encompass my entire career," says Jeff Gordon. "People are going to be able to read about me like they've never read about me before." The first-ever authorized biography of Jeff Gordon, the four-time champion racing legend. For over a year, Garner interviewed and observed Gordon at races, at special events, and at home. The book is based on extensive interviews with Gordon as well as in-depth interviews with dozens of family members, friends, competitors, and colleagues, some of whom have never gone on the record before. Jeff speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about his childhood, his much publicized divorce, those he competed against, his family, and life after racing. Gordon's meteoric rise through racing's ranks is a classic American success story. Listeners will find inspiration in Gordon's candid take on his pivotal life episodes. About the author: Five-time New York Times best-selling author Joe Garner has become one of the premiere chroniclers of America's popular culture.
