At the risk of a 5-year prison term, Francesco Da Vinci struggles with his Virginia draft board to be recognized as a sincere conscientious objector to the Vietnam war. While his CO case is on appeal, Da Vinci forms a peace group in San Diego called Nonviolent Action. The peace group becomes a national movement, and its campaign to help end the war reaches the halls of Congress with the help of Senator George McGovern.  For his stand as a CO and activist, Francesco becomes a target for hateful intolerance that spills over to his family and fianc├⌐e. A special feature of Francesco''s memoir is the photography that supplements the text. The captivating images taken by the author document civil rights & peace marches and include portraits of individuals iconic to the 1960s. You might ask, "Why now for a ''60s memoir?"The issues raised in I Refuse to Kill are today''s top issues-social justice, police brutality, government surveillance, persecution of nonviolent activists, and war versus the nonviolent resolution of conflict. The contributions of conscientious objectors and ''60s activists have been largely omitted from our history or flagrantly distorted for political reasons. I Refuse to Kill sets the record straight.

You were born to be an entrepreneur. You were taught to be an employee. Aspiring entrepreneurs are instinctively driven to be the master of their own fate and to explore the limits of their potential.

Using stories that skip across time-from the height of the Roman Empire to the moon landing- it empowers aspiring entrepreneurs with a detailed system to overcome the fear of uncertainty, escape the cage of mediocrity, and never be an employee again... that''s the real American Dream.

Based on the true story of author Barbara Follett and her mysterious disappearanceOn a December night in 1939, famous author Barbara Follett fought with her husband and stormed out of their Boston home, never to be heard from again. Now novelist Maryka Biaggio provides a captivating account of Barbara's enigmatic life-and disappearance.Barbara had all the makings of promise and success. Early on, her parents recognized her shining intellect and schooled her at home. At age twelve, she published the novel The House Without Windows to much acclaim.

"A superb telling of her little-known life, The Point of Vanishing captures the essential struggle of a woman intent on freedom and trapped by family and responsibility. Rich in detail and piercing in its portrayals, the novel captures the yearning to be one's own self, to travel the world, to think broadly, to live. And it asks: Is the sacrifice of self worth the price?" -- Kim Taylor Blakemore, Amazon bestselling author of After Alice Fell"Blending known facts with intriguing conjecture, THE POINT OF VANISHING tells the raw, gripping story of a young woman's struggle to carve out a life for herself at a time when women had little power to do so. From the story of one woman's hope to her startling end, Biaggio's tale sparkles with life, freedom, and what it means to dream." -- Tonya Mitchell, author of A Feigned Madness

The Northern Appalachia Review is an annual publication making a place for the under-recognized literature of its region. The editors identify northern Appalachia as the Appalachia counties of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, and the northern portion of West Virginia, a part of America where authors have yet to be distinguished with a literary identity, though it remains rich in stories of conflict among humans and their defining landscapes.The Review publishes authors from, living in, or writing about northern Appalachia. Most importantly, it seeks work that best conveys the character of the people and places of the region and which represents it as both distinct from and part of greater Appalachia. The publication holds a vision of serving as a catalyst to more novels, poetry, essays, history, memoir, drama, and other modes of literary writing that represent, in some way, our region. The exposure offered by the Review generates support for the authors of Northern Appalachia, ensuring that the voice of this remarkable part of the country is acknowledged, appreciated, and preserved.

"The zen of the false cast, the science of fly selection, the religion of the rod itself--it's all here for both the wannabe angler and the wader-clad stream veteran who's caught it all." -- Ken Ringle, author of Fly Fishing for Alligators and Other Tales Do you want to learn how to cast a fly? Read this book. Do you want to know why your casts end up looking like eagle's nests? Read this book. Do you want to make longer casts? Read this book. Do you want to start having fun fly-fishing? Read this book. The key to unlocking the magnificent sporting world of fly-fishing is the cast. Casting is the key to acquiring this life-long enjoyment. It is so important it is the reason I focus just on casting the fly. Certainly, there is so much, much more to fly-fishing. The beauty of fly-fishing is that one need take on only what is desired and comfortable. No need to learn how to make 60-foot casts if one just fishes in brooks. Just as there's no need to dress flies if buying them fills the creel. One can spend a fortune on all sorts of plain and fancy fishing equipment, but I had my best fly-fishing fun wading in jeans and sneaks with a box of favorite flies in my shirt pocket. What really makes this "Treatise" special is the gifted and meticulous artwork of my bride, Vera Claire, in the renditions of fishes and all forms of artificial flies and lures. Her precise entomological drawings may clue the waterside fisherman on what the fishes may be eating, and increase the luck by using a similar imitation fly. The renderings are a validation of the art and skill needed to dress the vast variety of artificial flies and lures, actual and invented. They belong in a museum but work better at the end of a fly-line.

After the Northwest Territory opened in 1787, a wave of pioneer expansion took place in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. New turnpikes were constructed to accommodate the ever-increasing number of settlers moving west. The history of Clark’s successful ferry and tavern businesses reflect an increase in the demand for ferry and tavern services brought about at the turn of the nineteenth century by increasing western migration and new road systems.In Crossing with the Clarks, the history of Clark’s Ferries and Tavern on the Susquehanna River is traced from 1766 until the present. It traverses the rise and demise of their ferry service and fate of the tavern building through five time periods: Pre-ferry and tavern, 1766–1787 Early ferry and tavern, 1787–1802 Peak ferry and tavern, 1802–1836 Post-ferry, 1836–1875 Post-tavern, 1875–presentThe book also contains a contemporary  architectural study of the tavern to determine what remains of Clark’s original tavern building.
