Book Description
"Barbershops are synonymous with great memories, and nostalgic by the smells and feeling of a fresh cut or shave. Barbershops of America is the product of a 7-year journey by Rob Hammer, who traveled to all 50 states of the USA, documenting the disappearing old-school barbershop and the men who were staples of their community. Photographs and stories chronicle the barbershops of old, but also capture the stark contrast that is the "next generation" of traditional barbers. These new-school barbers may look like the polar opposite of what a traditional barber would look like, yet despite the obvious difference in the way these professionals carry themselves, their purpose is consistent: to carry on the tradition that they love."--Back cover

Book Description
Taking Back the Courts A Flawed Justice System Exposed by One of America's Most Controversial and Successful Trial Lawyers, Norm Pattis, with a Forward and Preface by two other legal icons: F. Lee Bailey and Gerry Spence. In Taking Back the Courts Norm Pattis delivers a searing and keenly intelligent critique of America's justice system; an insider's account that takes no prisoners while offering many insightful and necessary remedies. Pattis blows the whistle on many of the system's maladies including: deceptive profiteering experts for hire, police-extorted confessions, morally bereft backroom plea bargaining, the demise of the jury, the sexophrenia that has addled the brains of legislators and judges packing our prisons with people far from evil and many more. Trial attorney Pattis is a provocative social philosopher writing with a pen warmed in Hell, but his case against the courts is unwaveringly wise, sober, principled, balanced and compulsively readable.

Book Description
At 34 years of age, Gregory Howe quit teaching in London to chase his childhood dream of becoming a world-ranked tennis professional. He started his year-long journey in the minor leagues, playing across four continents, as far afield as Bangkok, Kampala and Lahore, initially struggling against younger, fitter aspiring pros. Breaking through to the elite ATP tour, he got within volleying distance of some of the greats of the modern game. Eventually, he managed to juggle competing on the ATP tour with holding down a nine-to-five job. Along the way he encountered almost everything the tennis world has to offer, from rising stars racing to the top, to players whose hopes are slowly being shattered. Chasing Points: A Season on the Pro Tennis Circuit offers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of a touring tennis professional from the perspective of a real 'underdog'.

Book Description
In the summer of 1962, the peripatetic and irrepressible Pete Gill was hired on a whim to coach basketball at tiny Ireland High School. There he would accomplish, against enormous odds, one of the great small-town feats in Indiana basketball history. With no starters taller than 5'10", few wins were predicted for the Spuds. Yet, after inflicting brutal preseason conditioning, employing a variety of unconventional motivational tactics, and overcoming fierce opposition, Gill molded the Spuds into a winning team that brought home the town's first and only sectional and regional titles. Relying on narrative strategies of creative nonfiction rather than strict historical rendering, Mike Roos brings to life a colorful and varied cast of characters and provides a compelling account of their struggles, wide-ranging emotions, and triumphs throughout the season.
