Product Description
Taken from inside cover:
This major work by one of the great figures of 20th century science represents a fundamental challenge to established thinking on the origins and nature of the Universe. Fred Hoyle has entered the "creation and evolution" debate with a work of extraordinary and possibly far-reaching, importance. In a remarkable sweep across the sciences, he assembles the current theories examines them according to the evidence and gives judgement. In the course of this sweep, a number of cows sacred to the scientific establishment are comprehensively lassoed: Did life start by random processes?No ..... Could chance operate of such a large scale? No ..... Is Darwin's theory of evolution still plausible? No .... Did life originate on Earth? No .....

In the first chapter, Hoyle shows that, mathematically speaking, it is impossible for life to have been formed on Earth by mere random chance. He further points out that "....even the most complex viruses.....are nevertheless unable to reproduce themselves in any form of non-living organic soup". Chapter 2 is mainly devoted to showing how Darwinian evolution is wrong namely in that the fossil record shows evolution by major leaps rather than by slow degrees involving minor changes producing intermediate forms. Hoyle goes on to demonstrate in chapter 3 that there is abundant evidence that life in viral and bacterial form exist outside the Earth in comets, meteorites and asteroids. In the following chapter the author considers the evidence which suggests that interstellar dust is in fact bacterial, and in chapter 5 he takes this one step further by arguing that it is fresh input of cosmic genetic material from cometary sources which produces the main source and channel for evolution. As in his previous publications, Hoyle here repeats his claim that many supposedly infectious diseases originate in outer space and links these diseases with the process of evolution - diseases thus being resultant from a genetic mismatch of the DNA of the incoming pathogen with that of the host organism onto which it falls.Read more ›
Hoyle, a staunch atheist, was so shaken by this that he came to believe that there is an intelligence operating in the universe. Hence this book (which is for the interested lay reader - no mathematics!). Not all will agree with his conclusions, but this book by one of the top scientists of the twentieth century should be examined. It makes absorbing reading.

Christians, Muslims doubt Hindu militant's confession
Indian minorities question motives behind Swami Aseemanand's change of heart
ucanews.com reporter, Ahmedabad
January 25, 2011
Christian and Muslims in Gujarat remain unconvinced over a militant Hindu's apparent change of heart. Swami Aseemanand, who masterminded anti-Christian violence in the tribal-dominated Dangs district in the late 1990s, recently confessed to being responsible for a series of bomb attacks in several parts of India. Police arrested the Hindu leader a few months ago in connection with explosions in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, Ajmer in Rajasthan and the Malegaon-Samjhauta Express, a train service linking India and Pakistan. After the blasts, security agencies arrested several Muslim youths. Aseemanand (limitless bliss) repeated his confession to his family and said the Muslims were innocent. He reportedly offered his confession to a magistrate after seeing Abdul Kaleem, one of the Muslim youths in a Hyderabad jail. Church people working tribal-dominated areas in southern Gujarat sounded skeptical. "It would be good if Aseemanand's confessions are really genuine. We don't know under what circumstances he confessed," said Father C. M. Raphael, who works in the Dangs district. Jesuit Father Stanny Jabamalai, another missioner, said he was "a bit wary" of Aseemanand's "sudden" change of heart. He spread terror among tribal people by "openly violating" the law, he added. "Conversion comes from God. But there appears to be some hidden agenda here," he told ucanews.com. Hindu militants are known for double standards and the confession could be to garner public sympathy and a reduced sentence, he added. Hanif Lakdwawala, a Muslim activist, says he would wait and see whether Swami Aseemanand sticks to his confession during trial.

Associated Press
NEW YORK — More than a billion people now log into Facebook each month to check up on old friends, tag photos of new ones and post about politics, religion, cats or what their kids are doing.
That's double the 500 million it hit in July 2010 — what now seems like a lifetime but was a little more than two years ago. August 2008 marked another milestone, 100 million.
The latest milestone also amounts to nearly half of the world's roughly 2.5 billion Internet users, as measured by the International Telecommunications Union.
So who are these people?
Most of them — 81 percent — live outside of the U.S. and Canada. Many of them log in on mobile devices rather than personal computers, and the company now has 600 million mobile users.
The people joining now are young, with a median age of 22. It was 23 in 2010 and 26 in 2008 and 2007. Most of them are from Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico and the United States. They are unlikely to be from China, the world's most populous country and home to its largest Internet population. And millions of them are not actual people. Facebook acknowledged in August that 8.7 percent of its then-955 million users may be duplicate or false accounts. At that rate, as many as 87 million accounts are fake.
As expected, the longer users are on Facebook, the more "friends" they have on the site. A user who signed up two years ago has an average of 305 friends. Someone who signed up in January 2006, when Facebook had 25 million users, now has nearly 600 friends, on average.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg marked the milestone on his Facebook page, as he has in the past when the site's users hit nice round numbers.
"If you're reading this: thank you for giving me and my little team the honor of serving you," he wrote. "Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life."
But he acknowledged in a "Today" show interview that the company is going through a difficult patch.
"We're in a tough cycle now and that doesn't help morale, but people are focused on what they're building," he told Matt Lauer during the interview.
The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company's stock never recovered from a botched initial public offering in May, at one point seeing its value slashed in half by shareholders who don't think it's increasing revenue fast enough, especially from its fast-growing mobile user base.
Last month Zuckerberg gave his first interview since Facebook's shaky IPO and since that time he's been working hard to boost confidence among investors, employees and the public.
The 28-year-old executive also continued to reassure that he is the right person to lead Facebook, as some on Wall Street have questioned whether he has the ability to lead a large public company.
"I take this responsibility very seriously," he said.
Facebook Inc.'s stock slipped 9 cents to $21.74 in morning trading. The shares are off 43 percent from its $38 IPO price.

Re: Dining Room Buffet, china wall display and chestComment by InstappraisalJacobean Revival Style Dining Room Furniture
It's hard to tell much about the vintage of your set from the images provided, but it would appear what you have is a set in the Jacobean Revival style, the style getting it's name from the fact these pieces use stylistic motifs from early English pieces made during the late 16th to mid 17th Century. Most of these pieces were produced in England from the1880's through the first quarter of the 20th Century, but remained in production until World War Two. Generally they were part of a matching set, comprising of a court cupboard, table, and chairs.
Re: Antique Matching Couch and Chairs set from Phila Main...Comment by InstappraisalOne 1930's Rococo Style Living Room Suite of Couch and Chairs
Suites of this type date from the mid 1920's to early 1930's, the carving was actually all done with machine routers that traced an original carving and made multiples, often a dozen at a time. Values for such pieces depend a great deal on their condition and the frames, the frames often sold bare if the fabric is worn and reupholstered. What you paid is about what a set in comparable condition would sell for in the current market.
Re: Antique singer sewing machine AK839482Comment by jayc2837That's a nice looking Singer 66 sewing machine. One of about 50,000 such machines made between 1910 and 1920. You can find out it's production year using it's serial numbers. In mint condition they're worth nearly $1000. Unfortunately most were used quite a bit and wear and tear significantly reduces what they are worth. I saw one go for only $100 because the original owner wrapped her fabric over the machine wearing the Singer logo half off.

Get lean while you clean
Tips from 'Clean Momma' Carolyn Barnes
Breanna: Stephen Hawking said that Trump appeals to the lowest common denominators. Reading some of these comments, I understand that. People are becoming disgusting. Calling her names and wishing death or health problems on her. If you don't like Hillary, then be an adult and don't vote for her. Would you let your kids talk to someone like that? Or someone talk to your mother like that? If hatefulness towards others is what "makes America great again" then Hillary needs to win.

Innovation: Water's Life Saver
These days everyone is fretting about oil, its scarcity and of course its sky-rocketing price. However, for those of us who like to think one step ahead, it might be smarter to focus on a natural resource most of us take for granted. Water.
Today, water remains among the cheapest commodities. But it is also essential to all living things--whether they be crops, livestock or human beings. As a critical component in virtually every manufacturing and processing plant, water is also necessary for economic sustainability and growth. Plus, unlike any other commodity, water has no substitute regardless of price.
Nanoscale carbon, for example, is enabling greater efficiency and longer lifetimes for the familiar activated carbon water filter. Such filters are being fielded by start-ups like Seldon Labs and KX Industries. Meanwhile, nanoscale engineering by GE and start-ups like NanoH2O is helping make conventional semi-permeable membranes commonly used for filtration and desalination more efficient, more selective in what they filter and/or less prone to fouling.

The Salt Lake County Council, on a bipartisan vote, recently approved transferring budget responsibilities from the county auditor to the county mayor's office. In retaliation, County Auditor Greg Hawkins is threatening a lawsuit to prevent the change. Is this just typical county machinations or an indication of changes to come?
Pignanelli: County officials were upset with the former auditor, Jeff Hatch, and pushed for this change two years ago. They held off as a courtesy to the newly elected Hawkins. However, the trend of this internal disagreement is in the right direction. The weird county government structure originated in the Paleozoic era needs to be dumped.
Webb: Salt Lake County government has far too many elected officials. Its executive branch is extremely weak because power is divided among several elected people. Executive branch authority should be centralized in the mayor's office. The buck should stop there.
Imagine if, in the federal government, in addition to the president, a half dozen other top positions were independently elected. We could have a Democratic president and a Republican U.S. attorney general or secretary of state. What a mess that would be. The federal government would be even more dysfunctional than it now is.
That's the situation today in county government. The mayor doesn't really have control. We have plenty of checks and balances with separate executive, legislative and judicial branches. We don't need executive power chopped up among a bunch of different officials with different agendas and priorities. So giving budget responsibilities to the mayor is a small step toward modernizing county government.
Republican LaVarr Webb is a political consultant and lobbyist. Previously he was policy deputy to Gov. Mike Leavitt and Deseret News managing editor. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Democrat Frank Pignanelli is a Salt Lake attorney, lobbyist and political adviser. Pignanelli served 10 years in the Utah House of Representatives, six years as minority leader. His spouse, D'Arcy Dixon Pignanelli, is a state tax commissioner. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Another Year in Africaby Rose Zwi

The Seat of the Soulby Gary Zukav
The twenty-fifth anniversary of this beloved bestseller is celebrated in Prefaces by Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou and contains a new Foreword by the author, website links, and a new Study Guide to help readers find even deeper meaning and fulfillment.The Seat of the Soul encourages you become the authority in your own life. It will change the way you see the world, interact with other people, and understand your own actions and motivations. Beginning with evolution, Gary Zukav takes you on a penetrating exploration of the new phase humanity has entered: we are evolving from a species that understands power as the ability to manipulate and control--external power--into a species that understands power as the alignment of the personality with the soul--authentic power. Our evolution requires each of us to make the values of the soul our own: harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life. Using his scientist's eye and philosopher's heart, Zukav shows us how to participate fully in this evolution, enlivening our everyday activities and all of our relationships with meaning and purpose. The Seat of the Soul has sold millions of copies around the globe, and as it changes lives, more and more people begin to live by the values of the spirit. Indeed, a new world is emerging, and this book brings its message to you.
Doomsday 2012: The Maya Calendar and the History of the End of the Worldby Catherine Zuckerman
The Maya calendar started on August 11, 3114 BCE (corresponding date in the proleptic Gregorian calendar) and ends on December 21, 2012. Will it be Armageddon or just another day? The believers are making survival preparations and turning to religious leaders for guidance and solace. Follow National Geographic through the maze of doomsday prophets, cult leaders, and international and historic end times teachings to understand the science behind the Maya calendar and the phenomenon of Armageddon predictions. Scientists and historians know that end-of-days thinking has occurred throughout time around the world. Norse mythology predicted the world would be submerged in water; ancient Greeks believed that Zeus's defeat by his son would be the grand finale. In A.D. 79, Romans thought Mount Vesuvius's eruption in Pompeii was the start of the apocalypse. Jewish, Christian, and Islamic texts all include some writing about end times. The year 1666 - feared by many Christians - proved itself to be the year of the Beast when the Great Fire of London visited God's wrath (as widely believed) on the British. Hailey's Comet drove Europeans and Americans into apocalyptic fits in 1910. Individual charismatic figures have led thousands in unfulfilled Armageddon watches. For example, in 1843, spiritual leader William Miller's doomsday prediction failed (The Great Disappointment), but led followers to establish the Seventh Day Adventists. The Jehovah's Witnesses awaited the world's end in 1914. Preacher Jim Jones led hundreds of cult members to commit suicide in Ghana in the 1970s. Pat Robertson was certain Jesus was returning for the Rapture in the 1980s. The leader of the cult Heaven's Gate convinced 39 followers to commit suicide to escape imminent destruction in 1997. And there's no sign of a slow down. In fact, the Internet has spawned a plethora of doomsday cult leaders, from Y2K hysterics to the most recent religious figure Harold Camping, whose rapture predictions of 2011 left his followers earth-bound.
Germinalby Emile Zola David Baguley Raymond N. Mackenzie
Coal mines have become rare, but the miners of Germinal are immortal. This new edition of the novel, with a translation by Raymond MacKenzie, is an exquisite tribute to their work, their misery and their eventual revolt. In his introduction, David Baguley--one of the most respected authorities on the work of Zola--brilliantly illuminates the genetic, historical and aesthetic aspects of the novel. His lucid, sensitive and critical gaze highlights the real secrets of the work: its underlying anthropological and social investigation, the dark power of the tragic imagination and the brightness of symbolic and mythic intuitions. --Henri Mitterand, Professor Emeritus, Columbia University
The Fortune of the Rougonsby Emile Zola
The book's stirring opening happens on the eve of the coup d'état, involving an idealistic young village couple joining up with the republican militia in the middle of the night. Zola then spends the next few chapters flashing back in time to pre-Revolutionary Provence. We are then introduced to the eccentric heroine Adelaide Fouque, later known as "Tante Dide," who becomes the common ancestor for both the Rougon and Macquart families. Her legitimate son, from her short marriage to her late husband, is forced to grow up alongside two illegitimate children, from Dide's later romance with the smuggler, poacher, and alcoholic Macquart.
Germinalby Emile Zola
The novel's central character is ...tienne Lantier, previously seen in L'Assommoir (1877), a young migrant worker who arrives at the forbidding coalmining town of Montsou in the bleak far north of France to earn a living as a miner. Sacked from his previous job on the railways for assaulting a superior - he befriends the veteran miner Maheu, who finds him somewhere to stay and gets him a job pushing the carts down the pit. ...tienne is portrayed as a hard-working idealist but also a naïve youth; Zola's genetic theories come into play as ...tienne is presumed to have inherited his Macquart ancestors' traits of hotheaded impulsiveness and an addictive personality capable of exploding into rage under the influence of drink or strong passions.
His Masterpieceby Emile Zola
The Masterpiece is a highly fictionalized account of Zola's friendship with the painter Paul Cézanne. Zola and Cézanne grew up together in Aix-en-Provence, the model for Zola's Plassans, where Claude Lantier is born and receives his education. Like Cézanne, Claude Lantier is a revolutionary artist whose work is misunderstood by an art-going public hidebound by traditional subjects, techniques, and representations. Zola's self-portrait can be seen in the character of the novelist Pierre Sandoz.
Nanaby Emile Zola
Nana tells the story of Nana Coupeau's rise from streetwalker to high-class cocotte during the last three years of the French Second Empire. Nana first appears in the end of L'Assommoir (1877), another of Zola's Rougon-Macquart series, in which she is portrayed as the daughter of an abusive drunk; in the end, she is living in the streets and just beginning a life of prostitution.
Therese Raquinby Emile Zola
One of Zola's most famous realistic novels, Therese Raquin is a clinically observed, sinister tale of adultery and murder among the lower classes in nineteenth-century Parisian society. Zola's shocking tale dispassionately dissects the motivations of his characters-- mere "human beasts," who kill in order to satisfy their lust-- and stands as a key manifesto of the French Naturalist movement, of which the author was the founding father.
What I Like About Me!: A Book Celebrating Differencesby Allia Zobel-Nolan
The kids inWhat I Like About Me, are as different as night and day. And, guess what? They love it. Some adore the fact that their braces dazzle and gleam, others feel distinguished when they wear their glasses. Still others wouldn't trade their big feet for a lifetime of free video games. This fun-loving book, which features entertaining flaps, pull tabs, and touch-and-feel elements such as embedded foil yarn, and more, proves to kids that, in a world where fitting in is the norm, being different is what makes us special.

An American Utopia: Dual Power and the Universal Armyby Slavoj Zizek Fredric Jameson
Controversial manifesto by acclaimed cultural theorist debated by leading writers Fredric Jameson's pathbreaking essay "An American Utopia" radically questions standard leftist notions of what constitutes an emancipated society. Advocated here are--among other things--universal conscription, the full acknowledgment of envy and resentment as a fundamental challenge to any communist society, and the acceptance that the division between work and leisure cannot be overcome. To create a new world, we must first change the way we envision the world. Jameson's text is ideally placed to trigger a debate on the alternatives to global capitalism. In addition to Jameson's essay, the volume includes responses from philosophers and political and cultural analysts, as well as an epilogue from Jameson himself. Many will be appalled at what they will encounter in these pages--there will be blood! But perhaps one has to spill such (ideological) blood to give the Left a chance. Contributing are Kim Stanley Robinson, Jodi Dean, Saroj Giri, Agon Hamza, Kojin Karatani, Frank Ruda, Alberto Toscano, Kathi Weeks, and Slavoj i ek.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Golden Age of Folk and Fairy Tales: From the Brothers Grimm to Andrew Langby Jack Zipes
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, attitudes toward history and national identity fostered a romantic rediscovery of folk and fairy tales. This is the period of the Golden Age of folk and fairy tales, when European folklorists sought to understand and redefine the present through the common tales of the past, and long neglected stories became recognized as cultural treasures.In this rich collection, distinguished expert of fairy tales Jack Zipes continues his lifelong exploration of the story-telling tradition with a focus on the Golden Age. Included are one hundred eighty-two tales--many available in English for the first time--grouped into eighteen tale types. Zipes provides an engaging general Introduction that discusses the folk and fairy tale tradition, the impact of the Brothers Grimm, and the significance of categorizing tales into various types.Short introductions to each tale type that discuss its history, characteristics, and variants provide readers with important background information.Also included are annotations, short biographies of folklorists of the period, and a substantial bibliography.Eighteen original art works by students of the art department of Anglia Ruskin University not only illustrate the eighteen tale types, but also provide delightful--and sometimes astonishing--21st-century artistic interpretations of them.

She has come to attend the funeral of her only son, Nikitas, who was born in prison, and whom she has not seen since she left him as a baby.

Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8by Robert Zimmerman
It was Christmas Eve 1968. And the astronauts of Apollo 8 - Commander Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders - were participants in a mission that took them faster (24,000 mph) and farther from the earth (240,000 miles) than any human had ever traveled. Apollo 8 was the mission that broke humanity's absolute bond to the earth: it was the first manned vehicle to leave the earth's orbit. Confined within a tiny spaceship, the astronauts were aided in their journey by a computer less powerful than one of today's handheld calculators. Their mission was not only a triumph of engineering, but also an enduring moment in history. The words these three men spoke from lunar orbit reverberated through American society, changing our culture in ways no one predicted.
Made from Scratch: Reclaiming the Pleasures of the American Hearthby Jean Zimmerman
A stunning celebration and reappraisal of the importance of "women's work," Made from Scratch addresses the tug that many Americans feel between our professional and private lives. In this stunning celebration and reappraisal of the importance of "women's work," acclaimed journalist Jean Zimmerman poignantly addresses the tug that many Americans of the twenty-first century feel between our professional and private lives. With sharp wit and intelligence, she offers evidence that in the current domestic vacuum, we still long for a richer home life -- a paradox visible in the Martha Stewart phenomenon, in the continuing popularity of women's service magazines such as Better Homes and Gardens, Family Circle, and Ladies' Home Journal -- whose combined circulation of over 17 million is nearly twice the combined circulation of Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report -- and the booming business of restorations, where onlookers get a hands-on view of domestic life as it flourished in past centuries. This book is about the ways home traditions passed from one generation to the next -- baking a birthday cake from scratch, cherishing family heirlooms, or discovering the satisfaction of piecing a quilt -- sustain our souls, especially in our ever more processed, synthetic world, where we buy "homemade" goods and fail to see the irony in that.Made from Scratch tells the story of the unsung heroines of the hearth, investigating the history of female domesticity and charting its cultural changes over centuries. Zimmerman traces the lives of her own family's homemakers -- from her tiny but indomitable grandmother, who managed a farm, strangled chickens with her bare hands, and sewed all the family clothing, to her mother, who rejected her country upbringing yet kept a fastidious suburban home where the gender divide stayed firmly in place, to her own experiences as a wife and mother weaned on the Women's Movement of the 1970s, with its emphatic view that housework was a dirty word and that the domestic sphere was to be fled rather than cherished. In this book Zimmerman questions the unexamined trade-off we have made in a shockingly brief time span, as we've "progressed" from home-raised chickens to frozen TV dinners to McNuggets from the food court at the mall. What is lost when we no longer engage, as individuals and as a community, in the ancient rituals of food, craft, and shelter?
Soul Made Fleshby Carl Zimmer
In this unprecedented history of a scientific revolution, award-winning author and journalist Carl Zimmer tells the definitive story of the dawn of the age of the brain and modern consciousness. Told here for the first time, the dramatic tale of how the secrets of the brain were discovered in seventeenth-century England unfolds against a turbulent backdrop of civil war, the Great Fire of London, and plague. At the beginning of that chaotic century, no one knew how the brain worked or even what it looked like intact. But by the century's close, even the most common conceptions and dominant philosophies had been completely overturned, supplanted by a radical new vision of man, God, and the universe. Presiding over the rise of this new scientific paradigm was the founder of modern neurology, Thomas Willis, a fascinating, sympathetic, even heroic figure at the center of an extraordinary group of scientists and philosophers known as the Oxford circle. Chronicled here in vivid detail are their groundbreaking revelations and the often gory experiments that first enshrined the brain as the physical seat of intelligence -- and the seat of the human soul. Soul Made Flesh conveys a contagious appreciation for the brain, its structure, and its many marvelous functions, and the implications for human identity, mind, and morality.
Seedby Rob Ziegler
It's the dawn of the 22nd century, and the world has fallen apart. Decades of war and resource depletion have toppled governments. The ecosystem has collapsed. A new dust bowl sweeps the American West. The United States has become a nation of migrants -starving masses of nomads who seek out a living in desert wastelands and encampments outside government seed-distribution warehouses. In this new world, there is a new power. Satori is more than just a corporation, she is an intelligent, living city that grew out of the ruins of Denver. Satori bioengineers both the climate-resistant seed that feeds a hungry nation, and her own post-human genetic Designers, Advocates, and Laborers. What remains of the United States government now exists solely to distribute Satori seed; a defeated American military doles out bar-coded, single-use Satori seed to the nation's starving citizens. When one of Satori's Designers goes rogue, Agent Sienna Doss-Ex-Army Ranger turned glorified bodyguard-is tasked by the government to bring her in: The government wants to use the Designer to break Satori's stranglehold on seed production and reassert themselves as the center of power. Sianna Doss's search for the Designer intersects with Brood and his younger brother Pollo - orphans scrapping by on the fringes of the wastelands. Pollo is abducted, because he is believed to suffer from Tet, a newly emergent disease, the victims of which are harvested by Satori. As events spin out of control, Brood and Sienna Doss find themselves at the heart of Satori, where an explosive climax promises to reshape the future of the world.
Wild Company: The Untold Story of Banana Republicby Mel Ziegler Patricia Ziegler
In the tradition of Pour Your Heart Into It and How Starbucks Saved My Life, a surprising and inspiring memoir from the founders of Banana Republic.With $1,500 and no business experience, Mel and Patricia Ziegler turned a wild idea into a company that would become the international retail colossus Banana Republic. Re-imagining military surplus as safari and expedition wear, the former journalist and artist created a world that captured the zeitgeist for a generation and spoke to the creativity, adventure, and independence in everyone. In a book that's honest, funny, and charming, Mel and Patricia tell in alternating voices how they upended business conventions and survived on their wits and imagination. Many retail and fashion merchants still consider Banana Republic's early heyday to be one of the most remarkable stories in fashion and business history. The couple detail how, as "professional amateurs," they developed the wildly original merchandise and marketing innovations that broke all retail records and produced what has been acclaimed by industry professionals to be "the best catalogue of all time." A love story wrapped in a business adventure, Wild Company is a soulful, inspiring tale for readers determined to create their own destiny with a passion for life and work and fun.
