Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steadfast Sisters of the Silver State was created by the Southern Nevada Women's History Project. Its volunteers combed the state for evidence of the lasting contributions by one hundred noteworthy Nevada women to the growth and culture of their communities. To paint a vivid profile of each woman, the organization's volunteers conducted interviews, unearthed private papers, consulted public records, and collected historical accounts from newspapers and oral histories. In these pages, the refined--such as Hollywood fashion designer Edith Head--rub elbows with the infamous, including adult-film star Marilyn Chambers. Each had an indelible connection to the Silver State. Likewise, the obscure--Rhyolite dance-hall pianist Pauline Atterbury Wilson and Storey County's one-room schoolhouse teacher, Elizabeth Davis McKay, who both lived in the nineteenth century--mingle with such modern Nevadans as state controller Kathy Augustine and casino magnates Jeanne Hood and Claudine Williams. Black singers and dancers including D.D. Cotton and Ruth Brown took the high moral ground in Nevada's slow but satisfying move toward racial equity in casino workplaces. Las Vegas educator Mabel Welch Hoggard and nurse Bertha Sanford Woodard, a Northern Nevadan, waged the same war in their respective spheres. Forty-two women authors are responsible for the rich accounts of these one hundred women. Each made her mark in arenas ranging from civil rights to animal rights, from casino ownership to casino operations, as well as in marketing, modeling, medicine, mining, the media, or the military. Also documented are female leaders in the arts, education, philanthropy, public safety, sports, politics, and government of Nevada. Steadfast Sisters continues the mission of a prior volume, Skirts that Swept the Desert Floor, by the Southern Region of the Nevada Women's History Project, which documented the achievements of another set of one hundred superlative Nevada women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here at Remington, many people are curious about this powerful book commonly known as Inspiring the Youth of America. Well, as you may know, our youth today in America are in dire need of mentorship and guidance. This book is a whole new step forward for all of us as a civilization. For many years, and even today, young Americans wander aimlessly in a pool of confusion. They end up in meaningless careers with no past, no future, and nothing to hope for. Undoubtedly, the end result is misery and despair. The end result is poverty and surely a feeling of emptiness. Well, we at Remington, after interviewing over thirty thousand professionals, were surprised to find that many successful professionals were disgusted with vanity publications. They were disappointed with the meaningless dribble of a phone book–type registry that possibly required a magnifying glass just to read. But surprisingly enough, these professionals encouraged any use of their biography for humanitarian purposes. Undoubtedly, mentorship for our youth fell into that category. So there it was born. Our proudest moment as publishers was laid out before us. But there was one big problem. All these people needed to be interviewed in depth, and generic biographies certainly would not inspire. So with that, we swallowed hard, and our staff got to work. Yes, it was and still is a grueling, time-consuming mission and undertaking. But in the end, as you may witness as you read this book, the content is quite spectacular and certainly worth the effort. We would also like to mention that the participants in this book also spent much time sending us information and encouraging us to make this book worthy of their efforts. Now it was up to us to uphold the dignity of these professionals and forge forward into a future where students can explore their lives with the ability to fulfill their own potentials. With that, this book is presented to you today, and we hope that you share in our dream to build a better America from where it really matters—our youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unforgettable Nevada Women is the Southern Nevada Women's History Project's third volume dedicated to recognizing the contributions of noteworthy Nevada women to the development and enrichment of the Silver State. Through interviews, public records, and private papers shared by friends and family, and collected historical accounts from newspapers and oral histories, volunteers have gathered together these stories of one hundred remarkable women. Nevada has been home to diverse and dynamic women, including the first woman owner and operator of a hotel-casino, the founder of Weight Watchers, the designer of the famous 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign, and a nun whose Angel Bread saved a much-needed hospital from closing. Also included are stories of singers, dancers, actresses, community activists, government leaders, and a world expert on organic chemistry. Within these pages are also accounts of educators, artists, an internationally known hypnotist, Native American crusaders, and a judge. Just as Skirts that Swept the Desert Floor and Steadfast Sisters of the Silver State each chronicled the lives of one hundred amazing women in Nevada history, Unforgettable Nevada Women offers a tribute to the achievements of one hundred women who have made a lasting impact on Nevada life.

Book excerpt: She stole his heart.He stole her peace.Can hope steal their pain?At the age of eighteen, Lacey Carmichael was a wild girl bent on fun, promised to Jack O'Bryen, a straight-and-narrow pastor's kid bent on the seminary. When her father kicks her out of the house, she runs away from Isle of Hope, turning her back on everything she loves. Now, eight years later, she's back as a woman of faith, hoping to make amends to the father she defied, the boyfriend she deserted, and the best friend she denied. Only the bridges she's burned are still smoldering, kindled by an adulterous affair by Jack's pastor father that damaged his son's faith. But can a turning of tables-and hearts-lead the way back to "hope" for them all?

Book excerpt: That strange, snoring, legroom-invading person next to you on the airplane -- have you ever imagined owing your life to him? Nancy Moser tells the gripping story of five passengers and their seatmates who get casually acquainted -- then plunge headlong into an icy river in a sudden plane crash. The moments that follow are more intense than any they have ever lived, changing the way the passengers see God and the meaning of life itself. This book reveals the eternal impact a brief interaction can have and the drastic measures it takes for some to reexamine their souls. From the Trade Paperback edition.
