Pebbles on the Cosmic Seashore: A Lifetime of Astronomical Discoveries is a beautifully written introductory work on the science of astronomy. A compilation of original essays intended for the enlightenment of a general audience, Pebbles on the Cosmic Seashore is divided into two parts.In Part I, the author transports the reader on a temporal, and at times poetic, voyage of discovery. Hypothesizing that the science of astronomy emerged out of the sense of awe with which paleolithic peoples regarded the heavens, he traces its advance into the realms of mythopoetic thought, in which the motions of the heavenly bodies were attributed to gods and enshrined in mythPart II is a magisterial depiction of the wonders of the Solar System and beyond. Opening with a description of the startling beauty of the Earth, "our home," Part II then introduces its readers to the earth's closest neighbors within the solar system. It then moves on to a discussion of the constellations of stars that lay beyond our own region of the heavens, and, finally, suggests that someday humankind will explore this greater world so seemingly at present beyond our reach. Humanity, the author believes, is perched upon the cusp of a great decision:Elizabeth Harvey, Ph.D.Professor of History, Merced College

This book was written for Conservatives, Conspiracy Theorists, Military, the Left and the Right and Mystery Lovers everywhere. However, if you are a true Conservative, you will more than likely appreciate this political novel the most as this book employs a providential ending.There is a devastating storm approaching America and the United States is in the direct crosshairs of this Liberal turbulence with one man (or two) who can possibly save the country. He is ex-Navy SEAL, Theodore Justice Law---or better known as TJ Law---with a professional military resume of dealing out death and destruction

This beautiful tale came to the author in a dream. His earlier earlier books have been primarily autobiographical. This love story he felt was the work of a higher power. The words poured out of him and, I believe, tells a compelling story from the heart and includes messages of hope, redemption, and the value of horse therapy. The main character is an orphan boy who is adopted by an older man who teaches him many life-building principles, and for the first time in his life has someone who shows love to him. He is being taught by this man he calls dad how to survive in life. He taught him trades of all kinds just as he had his own sons who are now grown. I would encourage young people to read this book as it is wholesome, though it will be life changing no matter who reads it.
