It was 1964. The job was to turn a dusty field into a top-ranking medical school. There were no buildings, no faculty, and no funds. Merlin K. DuVal accepted the challenge and won strong support as he began building the University of Arizona’s first College of Medicine. Starting his adult life as a model in New York in the 1940s DuVal climbed his way up to being appointed Assistant Secretary of Health during Nixon’s administration and finally being instrumental in the founding of the University of Arizona’s medical school. While DuVal was a public man with a long list of accomplishments, this is also a deeply personal account in which a high-powered doctor discovers that his children grew up without really knowing him. A year before his death, Dr. DuVal worked with journalist Linda Valdez to tell his story, and the real delight of this book is reading along as this man of remarkable intellectual curiosity examines his own life, his profession, and our society.

Genre Fiction

One Billion Seconds delivers a powerful tale of how true love transcends time, tragedy and a broken heart. Deeply in love, Poppy and Geoff still need help from Jesse, a “relational choreographer,” to help them manage life’s ups and downs and the communication skills needed to maintain a mature relationship. But sometimes real life and true love don’t mix. Jesse’s ‘star couple’ break up and move to separate parts of the country. For the next 32 years—or one billion seconds—Poppy and Geoff lead separate lives, which include marriages, children, deaths, divorces, 9/11, and losing their own identities. Real-life couple, Poppy and Geoff Spencer, are relationship consultants, speakers, radio show hosts, and the authors of One Billion Seconds—a keen look into many true events in the couple’s lives—both separate and united. The beautiful story opens in happy times, featuring the two college sweethearts in sunny Florida over three decades ago. But their storybook romance comes to a screeching halt when Poppy graduates ahead of Geoff and returns home to Wisconsin. Initially, the young love was not enough for distance and naiveté. “We were 21-years-old and naive,” Poppy and Geoff quip of their real-life break-up more than thirty years ago. “Through the writing of One Billion Seconds, we uncovered the implicit understanding of what makes relationships work and what can lead to their downfall; and, the short answer is to embrace vulnerability. We wouldn’t have turned tragedy into triumph, gotten back together, or written a book without being 100% vulnerable. This book not only entertains, it also inspires readers to truly understand the value of vulnerability.” It’s more than a novel and not exactly a memoir; instead, One Billion Seconds is an inspirational tale that weaves the Spencers’ real-life professional experiences as relationship consultants with their own love story. Readers of One Billion Seconds are given hope, the courage to take risks that honor who they are, and a roadmap to eliminate negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that prevent true happiness in a relationship. One Billion Seconds provides a rich and textured love story against the backdrop of practical, useful relationship advice from real-life, professional relationship coaches. It also includes the following themes: • Hope and courage: which allow you to take risks to honor the core of who you are • Offers a positive mindset to help you get rid of any thoughts, feelings, and behaviors preventing you from being the best version of yourself • A Parenting style, including solidarity or one voice between parents • Strength to face, overcome divorce, and flourish • How to successfully integrate blended families • Challenges fear and social bias • The value of speaking the honest truth • A trademarked communication tool and effective communication solutions, even if no words are the best • Belief in a happy-ever-after.

"About Muhammad" is a vital compilation of extracts, each by Western writers, which provides a well informed and beautiful insight into the mission, heritage and legacy of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. In recent years there have been many misunderstandings about the reactions of Muslims to public abuse and ridicule of Muhammad through the media. This book has arrived at an auspicious time and allows the reader to understand who Muhammad was, not just as a spiritual leader for Muslims, but as a diplomat and emissary for mankind in general. By understanding Muhammad, the reader can better understand the respect that Muslims have for him, and the Muslim mind in general. This book is essential reading for anyone in the media, education, politics, religious studies, history, and where they may interact with Muslims, contribute to Muslim projects, or work in Muslim countries or organisations. It will be equally beneficial to politicians, teachers, lecturers, historians, and the general reader.

The war between the North and the South takes hold on the Freeman. As the Fitzgeralds struggle to make it through the winter of 1862-1863 after a poor year of boating on the C&O Canal, the Civil War draws ever closer to being fought aboard the Freeman. George Fitzgerald’s unexpected return from the battles of the Civil War pits him against David Windover, an ex-Confederate spy, who now works and lives with the Fitzgeralds. Alice Fitzgerald struggles to hold her family together as a vindictive sheriff and a haughty doctor’s wife work to tear them apart. Tony, the street urchin from Cumberland, has found a life aboard the Freeman, but Sheriff Lee Whittaker has other ideas for the ex-thief. Elizabeth is growing older and finding herself torn between the canal and becoming a lady. Together, the Fitzgeralds have met every obstacle, but how will they fare if the divisive forces around them separate them?
