Hailed as a masterpiece of American travel writing, Blue Highways is an unforgettable journey along our nation's backroads. William Least Heat-Moon set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of curiosity about "those little towns that get on the map -- if they get on at all -- only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill: Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why, Arizona; Whynot, Mississippi." His adventures, his discoveries, and his recollections of the extraordinary people he encountered along the way amount to a revelation of the true American experience.

The Gospel message and Christianity has changed since Jesus established it with His disciples and followers over 2000 years ago. When Jesus Called those He wanted (Mark 3:15) He set in motion a plan to win the world. The torch was passed to the early church patriarchs and their followers, who worked hard to imitate Jesus life and ministry. They did their job and the gospel was preached; the message of the cross raced to neighboring countries and lands. America would eventually become a beacon of light to further the Saviors message exponentially around the globe. In spite of the many hurdles and pitfalls along the way, the message of the cross has gone around the world. So, what has changed? Since the late 1950s a fundamental shift has occurred in the Body of Christ, the local church. The torch has been passed to a different type of believer. Somewhere along the way many believers stopped believing, the preachers stopped preaching the whole gospel and the true meaning of the word Christian has been hijacked. A lost world, especially those in the United States, brag and flaunt their sin out in the open. At the same time many believers have begun to wink at what the Bible calls sin. God will not be mocked for too much longer. This choice has led to weak believers and an embolden nation. Too many believers in Christ have lost their passion and voice. Like a lion waiting to pounce, the Devil has launched a powerful attack. The Bible speaks of two roads. A narrow road leading to God and eternal life and a broad road, which I call The 8-Lane Highway. This road leads to destruction and many, including Christians travel its crocked path. This book is about the eight lanes that make up this road. This book addresses the many believers and so-called Christians that live and function on and around the broad road. Their choices have greatly impacted the local church and the Christian culture. It doesnt take a Christian to recognize that America is changing; everyone knows it. At the same time, the local church is changing; and yet, not everyone sees it. It is essential that all believers in Christ become the true followers He died to establish. Jesus hasnt changed His message; or the urgency to share with everyone. Its time to wake up, to rise up, and to speak up.

Through the lens of culture, The Internet of Elsewhere looks at the role of the Internet as a catalyst in transforming communications, politics, and economics. Cyrus Farivar explores the Internet's history and effects in four distinct and, to some, surprising societies--Iran, Estonia, South Korea, and Senegal. He profiles Web pioneers in these countries and, at the same time, surveys the environments in which they each work. After all, contends Farivar, despite California's great success in creating the Internet and spawning companies like Apple and Google, in some areas the United States is still years behind other nations. Surprised? You won't be for long as Farivar proves there are reasons that: Skype was invented in Estonia--the same country that developed a digital ID system and e-voting; Iran was the first country in the world to arrest a blogger, in 2003; South Korea is the most wired country on the planet, with faster and less expensive broadband than anywhere in the United States; Senegal may be one of sub-Saharan Africa's best chances for greater Internet access. The Internet of Elsewhere brings forth a new complex and modern understanding of how the Internet spreads globally, with both good and bad effects.

I gave considerable thought as to what the title of my autobiography should be. There was never any question that a portion of the title would read, “The Life Experiences of a World War II, Korea, and Vietnam ______? American Army Veteran”, but how would I be described in view of the many “race” descriptions the U.S. Census has used for the black citizens since the first census in 1790? Should I be described as a Colored, Black, Mulatto, Quadroon, Octoroon, African American, or Negro American Army Veterans? I chose BLACK as being the most descriptive term and, as James Brown said, I’m black and I’m proud! My life experiences include a few race-related incidents that occurred before, during and after my military service. Each incident could have greatly influenced my overall attitude towards life, in general, and in an adverse manner, but fortunately did not. Q. Jarone Batson

A transportation expert makes a provocative case for changing the nation’s approach to highways, offering “bold, innovative thinking on infrastructure” (Rick Geddes, Cornell University). Americans spend hours every day sitting in traffic. And the roads they idle on are often rough and potholed, with exits, tunnels, guardrails, and bridges in terrible disrepair. According to transportation expert Robert Poole, this congestion and deterioration are outcomes of the way America manages its highways. Our twentieth-century model overly politicizes highway investment decisions, short-changing maintenance and often investing in projects whose costs exceed their benefits. In Rethinking America’s Highways, Poole examines how our current model of state-owned highways came about and why it is failing to satisfy its customers. He argues for a new model that treats highways themselves as public utilities—like electricity, telephones, and water supply. If highways were provided commercially, Poole argues, people would pay for highways based on how much they used, and the companies would issue revenue bonds to invest in facilities people were willing to pay for. Arguing for highway investments to be motivated by economic rather than political factors, this book makes a carefully-reasoned and well-documented case for a new approach to highways.
