Long-haul trucks have been described as sweatshops on wheels. The typical long-haul trucker works the equivalent of two full-time jobs, often for little more than minimum wage. But it wasn’t always this way. Trucking used to be one of the best working-class jobs in the United States. The Big Rig explains how this massive degradation in the quality of work has occurred, and how companies achieve a compliant and dedicated workforce despite it. Drawing on more than 100 in-depth interviews and years of extensive observation, including six months training and working as a long-haul trucker, Viscelli explains in detail how labor is recruited, trained, and used in the industry. He then shows how inexperienced workers are convinced to lease a truck and to work as independent contractors. He explains how deregulation and collective action by employers transformed trucking’s labor markets--once dominated by the largest and most powerful union in US history--into an important example of the costs of contemporary labor markets for workers and the general public.

Ten years ago, Bill Lansing decided to commemorate his memories of growing up on a small ranch in northern California. Like most baby boomers, not much was ever relayed about their parents history. So he decided to remedy that for his future descendants. The book starts out with his parents courtship in 1920s and connects the narrative memories from 1946 with personal photos in a chronological manner until 1969. Many of the stories are funny, as Bill writes with passion and humor. The title comes from three general sources: growing up with horses, beginning at age six; hating the bandy chickens his mother coveted; and Bills passion for baseball. These three topics anchor the flow of the book.

The book "Invisible Spirits" written by Marcellis Coppertoni is about the travel of life up and down and for you to see that no matter how rough life gets, if you keep your faith, you will find your way through. Pain started for me early in life and followed me wherever I went, but with the help of God and my guardian angel, I came through it all with a smile and stronger than before. The best way to describe the book is it will take you on a wild roller coaster ride that you cant see the end. Don't be afraid; I promise you wont get hurt. The thing I hope you get is to be yourself, stand strong, never lose your faith, and for heavens sake, hold on. Enjoy and learn and I will see you at the end for the next ride.

Road 19 is a very real place that represents the beginning foundation of what has become my family. And we're not just your typical family either. Some things that were, and are, prevelent in my family stand out as extraordinary for sure. Very big highs and debilitating lows have found us in many ways through several generations thus far. As honest as I can be about my family’s personal story, I must say, it is fascinating to realize all that took place! Yesterday, I was hurt, angry and confused. Today, I am happier and more aware. The difference was not created through therapy or found in a church. No drugs (prescribed or otherwise) have been used. In fact, no external source can be credited. One simple, yet complicated to admit reality is all it took. Through the creation of this book and my family’s story, I have come to realize… True understanding is found far beyond the obvious. Childhood exposures set me on a path of adult experiences that have seemed extremely frustrating at times. During most of my young adult years, I was simply in denial. I didn’t even want to look at any old family photos. Scars were deep, resentments were strong, so I set out to detach myself from my family’s past. I did this for a very long time… way too long in fact. Now, through the open-minded perspective that has thankfully found me as I have aged, I have looked deep into my family history. Far beyond the obvious that engulfed my attention span for many years, I found a lot of understanding… my understanding. Now, I wish to record a deep and somewhat detailed exposure of our legacy. I invite you in to our past. Joe

In a uniquely entertaining book by a rising star, here are uncanny true tales of haunted highways, weird encounters, and legends of the road. It may have happened to you; it's happened to almost everyone who's ever driven down a highway at night, or in the fog, or snow. Something suddenly appears: a flash of movement, a shadow...what was it? It could be, as the true stories in this book attest, a ghost. These are true stories from the highways and byways of America. These firsthand accounts are as varied as the storytellers themselves—some are detailed and filled with the terror and suspense that made people feel they had to share what happened to them with others; others are brief and straightforward retellings of truly chilling events. Here is a chupacabra attack on the desert highway between L.A. and Las Vegas; ghost trains and soldiers; UFOs; the prom girl ghost of Alabama; a demon in Texas, and other accounts of the creepy, scary things that truckers and other drivers and passengers told to editor Annie Wilder. With so many different stories, Trucker Ghost Stories moves beyond the usual haunted house to offer stories to entice any ghost story reader...and anyone who's ever wondered.... At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

In Big Truck War II (Revenge) Jarhead sees the hell-fire missile fired from underneath the Cobra Attack Helicopter. He knew instinctively what it was.

It's weighing heavily on Maxwell; his two men killed by the rocket. And he knows an attack on a Government instillation is suicide, but no one has ever accused Head of "good judgment."

Long before he was considered a top prospective presidential candidate for 2012—even before he landed on John McCain’s short list of potential running mates in 2008—Governor Tim Pawlenty had already earned legendary status in conservative circles. In his hard-left-leaning home state of Minnesota, the man known as “T-Paw” somehow erased a $4.8-billion budget deficit while simultaneously reforming health care, creating jobs, improving education, and supporting renewable energy reform—all without raising taxes. In Courage to Stand, Pawlenty reveals, for the first time, how he found the resolve to get the job done, taking readers all the way back to the lessons he learned as a boy in the gritty meatpacking town of South St. Paul. From the devastating early death of his mother to the struggle to work his way through college and law school and his epic political battles as governor, Pawlenty opens up about his deepest beliefs and shares his vision for a better America.
