Review My Century in History: Memoirs / University Press of Kentucky:When Thomas D. Clark was hired to teach history at the University of Kentucky in 1931, he began a career that would span nearly three-quarters of a century and would profoundly change not only the history department and the university but the entire Commonwealth. His still-definitive "History of Kentucky" (1937) was one of more than thirty books he would write or edit dealing with Kentucky, the South, and the American frontier. In addition to his wide scholarly contributions, Clark devoted his life to the preservation of Kentucky's historical records. His efforts resulted in the Commonwealth's first archival system and the subsequent creation of the Kentucky Library and Archives, the University of Kentucky Special Collections and Archives, the Kentucky Oral History Commission, the Kentucky History Center (recently named for him), and the University Press of Kentucky. Born on a cotton farm in Louisville, Mississippi, in 1903, Thomas Dionysius Clark dropped out of school after seventh grade to work on a canal dredgeboat before resuming his formal education. In "My Century in History", Clark offers vivid memories of his personal and academic journey, a journey that took him from Mississippi to Kentucky and North Carolina, to leadership of the nation's major historical organizations, and to visiting professorships in Austria, England, Greece, and India, as well as in universities throughout the United States. An enormously popular public lecturer as well, he touched thousands of lives. With characteristic wit and insight, Clark now offers his many admirers one final volume of history - his own.

Review My Life and The Paradise Garage : Keep On Dancin' / Publisher Distribution Company:Keep on Dancin' is the story of the rise and fall of the legendary Paradise Garage, the underground disco that was ruled by the greatest DJ of all time and rivaled only by Studio 54 in its soulful and decadent magnificence. Set against the passionate love affair of two men who would both eventually rate as two of New York City's greatest style and scene makers, the story traces the hypnotic birth of disco, the Garage inspired technical innovations that changed the music industry, the erotic life of gay New York and the devastating rise of AIDS. What started out as a whisper of an idea between lovers - Garage owner Michael Brody and financial backer Mel Cheren - eventually culminated into a dance palace that existed for more than a decade and is still spoken about with reverence. Keep on Dancin' gives hundreds of private recollections from the people who were there: Tom Moulton, Francois Kevorkian, Grace Jones, Thelma Houston, Frankie Knuckles, Junior Vasquez and others help recreate the moment when love was the message.

Review History's Apprentice: The Diaries of B. H. Roberts / Signature Books:On 13 March 1882, a twenty-five-year-old from a small Utah town, serving an LDS mission in rural Tennessee, recorded the following plaintive confession: Perhaps one-half of my life has passed away-and what have I done? But little of anything, either of good or evil; my misdeeds are like my talents-on the small order. I have made attempts to accomplish something in various directions, but "miserable failure" is written across the face of each of them. I can but choose to regret the past when looking over it, but as I cannot call it back to amend it, or straighten out the crooks which appear in the path I have trod, I will look to the present and future, trying to profit by the experience of the past. The author of this diary entry was of course B. [+]H. Roberts, who would become a household name in some circles and would live a remarkably full and productive life by anyone’s standard but his own. In the half century between March 1882 and Roberts’s death in September 1933, his achievements surpassed most mortals in areas of religion, politics, and scholarship. But he remained somewhat dissatisfied with himself and occasionally suffered bouts of depression. After his mission, Roberts cut his teeth as a writer and opinion maker at the Salt Lake Herald, followed by an assignment as editor of the church's overseas publication, the Millennial Star. Years later, his more mature histories and biographies received wide critical praise as definitive works of LDS history and apologetics. In fact, these studies are still read today and continue to be held in high esteem.

Review Patent Piracy / Ceshore Publishing Company:Harry Arzouman is living the American dream, growing wealthy thanks to his inventions and patents. When a group of Swiss bankers decide to shanghai Harry's valuable patents, they turn for help to the most ruthless law firm in the United States and its most ruthless lawyer. Over the course of a grueling 10-year legal battle for his own inventions, Harry must draw on the survival skills he learned as a child during the Great Depression and as a soldier in the Korean War to fight back in an attempt to save his family and business. In the process, he learns that winning or losing has little to do who is right and who is wrong in a court of law, and "justice" often depends on the size of one's pocketbook. An inspiring true story of strength, determination and conviction in the face of adversity and corruption.
