Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1949, Martin Feess joined the American baby boomer generation—one of the most privileged group of people to ever walk the earth. While growing up in a small Wisconsin town on a picturesque lake, Feess learned about Dick and Jane, collected an abundance of toys, played baseball, and watched hours of television westerns, just like many other boys of his generation. In a fascinating story of a boomer’s time as seen through a boomer’s eyes, Feess leads others through his experiences as part of the disillusioned generation of the Vietnam War as he matured, served in the army, attended college, and moved west to begin a new chapter. While sharing personal anecdotes, observations, and lessons learned, Feess provides a look into how his journey eventually took him to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia where he learned to embrace the perspectives of others living around the world. Through his experiences and historical reflections, Feess offers an educational window into the making of a unique generation that today looks back in laughter and forward in hope while attempting to better understand who we all are as Americans. A Baby Boomer’s Times, Travels, Thoughts, and Hopes shares personal stories, observations, and historical facts that provide an entertaining and thought-provoking slice of Americana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the shared experience of baby boomers as seen through one boomer's eyes from small town life on a picturesque Midwestern lake through the Vietnam experience and disillusionment and eventually finding a place in life. Personal anecdotes punctuate commentary on major news events and politics. Deeply affected by the 9-11 tragedy, the author soon found himself in the Middle East during a very troubled period. Later adventures took him to eastern Europe and east Asia. All these foreign travels provided a window to the world and a wide perspective which this author shares here along with a historian's view of our world today.

Book excerpt: “A sharp and unconventional book — a swirl of memoir, travelogue and biography of some of history's champion day-dreamers.” —Maureen Corrigan, "Fresh Air" A spirited inquiry into the lost value of leisure and daydream The Art of the Wasted Day is a picaresque travelogue of leisure written from a lifelong enchantment with solitude. Patricia Hampl visits the homes of historic exemplars of ease who made repose a goal, even an art form. She begins with two celebrated eighteenth-century Irish ladies who ran off to live a life of "retirement" in rural Wales. Her search then leads to Moravia to consider the monk-geneticist, Gregor Mendel, and finally to Bordeaux for Michel Montaigne--the hero of this book--who retreated from court life to sit in his chateau tower and write about whatever passed through his mind, thus inventing the personal essay. Hampl's own life winds through these pilgrimages, from childhood days lazing under a neighbor's beechnut tree, to a fascination with monastic life, and then to love--and the loss of that love which forms this book's silver thread of inquiry. Finally, a remembered journey down the Mississippi near home in an old cabin cruiser with her husband turns out, after all her international quests, to be the great adventure of her life. The real job of being human, Hampl finds, is getting lost in thought, something only leisure can provide. The Art of the Wasted Day is a compelling celebration of the purpose and appeal of letting go.

Book excerpt: Read The Whole Series! Hotel Llama is the third anthology book in Larry Mogelonsky's series following Are You an Ostrich or a Llama? (2012) and Llamas Rule (2013). Together, they give a detailed picture of the present hotel business landscape, outlining how to best navigate new technological issues shaping our industry in addition to the need for a perpetual commitment to exceptional service. All three books draw from Larry's extensive experience in the field as well as the prudence of other senior managers and corporate executives active in the hospitality industry. Offering creative and effective solutions to today's problems, this collection will give you the tools you need to thrive in the modern hotel world. The Llama Digital Educational Program In tandem with the publishing of this book, Larry Mogelonsky has created an online educational program for hoteliers to sharpen their skill sets. Entitled Llama Digital, this interactive web portal allows executives, managers, staff members and hospitality students to access all the articles from the three books in the series. Attached to each article are several complex questions designed to give a more detailed analysis of the issues through the form of written responses so that hoteliers will improve their writing proficiency in addition to honing their managerial skills. To learn more about the Llama Digital educational program and how it can enhance your skillset in the hospitality field, go to www.lmadigital.ca. Why You Need This Book The hotel world is evolving. The proliferation of new mobile technologies, online travel agencies, social media and third-party review websites represent four great disruptors for any hotelier's business. And these are just the tip of the iceberg. Customer behavior is changing too rapidly for traditional hospitality marketing and operations textbooks to keep up. The modern traveler is highly intelligent and incredibly discerning when it comes to hotel purchases. In order to understand this consumer revolution, you must arm yourself with the latest resources. Enter Hotel Llama, the third book in the series written to give hoteliers the best tools in their arsenal to prosper in these changing times. This is not an introductory textbook on the hospitality industry, but rather a compilation of selected topics that highlight both modern success stories as well as the blunders to avoid. This book will strengthen your management skills by explaining many of the sales, marketing, branding, technological and psychological principles at work behind such contemporary facets of hotel operations as proper website design, channel distribution and emerging technology applications in addition to the more traditional aspects like onsite amenities, guestroom features, F&B, housekeeping and the front desk. Above all, it is stressed that the success of a property - even with all that has changed in recent years - nonetheless depends on the relationship a hotel fosters with its guests. This is the hotelier's guidebook that recognizes future developments while celebrating the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth and the Time-Travel Car: Part 1 is a story about second chances, time travel, romance, and faith. Elizabeth made bad choices in her life that she regretted. She said things she wished she could take back. She ran into bad people who cared little about anyone. They tried to make sure she and other people would not exist in the future. They sent people to a dystopian world that was upside down, where there was silence everywhere and people had blank expressions and were empty inside. Elizabeth wanted her life back and began to fight back. While in this hopeless time in her life, she met some wonderful people who shared the gospel of Christ with her and reminded her that love, the grace of Christ, and forgiveness are powerful. Most importantly, we should never be too hard on ourselves. What people intend for evil, our heavenly Father will turn it around for good for those who love and obey him. Throughout this journey, Elizabeth learned to hope and smile again while meeting her future husband, who was clearly godsent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about living with Alzheimer’s, not dying with it. It is a book about hope, faith, and humor—a prescription far more powerful than the conventional medication available today to fight this disease. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the US—and the only one of these diseases on the rise. More than 5 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia; about 35 million people worldwide. Greg O’Brien, an award-winning investigative reporter, has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's and is one of those faceless numbers. Acting on long-term memory and skill coupled with well-developed journalistic grit, O’Brien decided to tackle the disease and his imminent decline by writing frankly about the journey. O’Brien is a master storyteller. His story is naked, wrenching, and soul searching for a generation and their loved ones about to cross the threshold of this death in slow motion. On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s is a trail-blazing roadmap for a generation—both a “how to” for fighting a disease, and a “how not” to give up!

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Barack Obama’s lucid vision of America’s place in the world and call for a new kind of politics that builds upon our shared understandings as Americans, based on his years in the Senate “In our lowdown, dispiriting era, Obama’s talent for proposing humane, sensible solutions with uplifting, elegant prose does fill one with hope.”—Michael Kazin, The Washington Post In July 2004, four years before his presidency, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Obama called “the audacity of hope.” The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama’s call for a different brand of politics—a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces—from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media—that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment. At the heart of this book is Barack Obama’s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats—from terrorism to pandemic—that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy—where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, Obama says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes—“waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them.”
