Route 66: Lost and Found conveys the spirit and the times, not quite like any other book. Arizona Daily SunFor several decades, Route 66 was the nation's main east-west thoroughfare, pointing Middle America toward all the promise California seemed to hold at various times, whether permanent refuge from the Dust Bowl or a temporary escape from the drudgery of everyday suburban life in prosperous postwar America. As such, America's Main Street once teemed with activity . . . bustling centers of commerce that evaporated into the vast American landscape like the jet contrails overhead and the heat rising from the Interstate asphalt. This engaging look at the "Mother Road" takes 75 locations along its 2,297 mile route from Chicago to Santa Monica and shows them first during their halcyon heydays through black-and-white photographs and period postcards, then on the facing page as they appear today, from the exact same angle and also through vivid black-and-white photographs.

So, providence befell on the Attah- Keshei`s family of Ada, in Ghana, when Kofi was born. He became an American citizen and then a unique and notorious member of the elite unit of the Security Network of the USA, simply known as the A10, which has a constant membership of just ten people with given powers equal and above that of even the president of the USA. Kofi , who was nicknamed The Black Shadow, was tasked to unravel criminal killings, assassinations of presidents, prominent leaders business, social, religious, and political across the globe, and, particularly, family members of the The Blackwell Empire whose business empire controls most of the world socio-economic and political stage. This led to the shocking revelation of the true double identity of one man who cunningly managed his way through the rank and fi le of the American intelligence and political hierarchy to become the vice president of the United States of America, Nick Adams, known to the underworld as The Saint, whilst he sell death and anything to the highest bidder, until he fi nd out that he was an illegitimate son of the founder of the Blackwell empire, and hell broke loss as he assassinated, every hire to the Blackwell throne, and intended to marry off his only son to Helena Blackwell, in order to control the empire, so any man who express interest in Helena Blackwell is killed, until Kofi , surfaced, not just a an antidote to the saint, but lover of Helena Blackwell.

The Crowley Millers were the talk of minor league baseball in the 1950s, with crowds totaling nearly 10 times Crowley’s population and earning Crowley the nickname of “The Best Little Baseball Town in the World.” The Best Little Baseball Town in the World: The Crowley Millers and Minor League Baseball in the 1950s tells the fun, quirky story of Crowley, Louisiana, in the fifties, a story that reads more like fiction than nonfiction. The Crowley Millers’ biggest star was Conklyn Meriwether, a slugger who became infamous after he retired when he killed his in-laws with an axe. Their former manager turned out to be a con man, dying in jail while awaiting trial on embezzlement charges. The 1951 team was torn to pieces after their young centerfielder was struck and killed by lightning during a game. But aside from the tragedy and turmoil, the Crowley Millers also played some great baseball and were the springboard to stardom for George Brunet and Dan Pfister, two Crowley pitchers who made it to the majors. Interviews with players from the team bring to light never-before-heard stories and inside perspectives on minor league baseball in the fifties, including insight into the social and racial climate of the era, and the inability of baseball in the fifties to help players deal with off-the-field problems. Written by respected minor-league baseball historian Gaylon H. White, The Best Little Baseball Town in the World is a fascinating tale for baseball fans and historians alike.
