My Dad Likes Birds is a book written by a dad for dads. The essence of the book is to encourage dads to remove themselves from the crazy grind, take a moment to themselves and spend some time reading with their kids. Its a multi-therapeutic practice intended to self serve one's inner peace, provide children with the much needed attention and support of their father, and create a special bond to last a lifetime. These moments are critical and special, and should not be underestimated or under-appreciated.As a father of two young girls, ages 1 and 4 as of writing, I treasure the moments spent connecting with my girls. This time to connect, which usually equates to "doing nothing" in my big person world, is actually excellent down time and decompress time. I am fortunate enough to appreciate and recognize the moments, as well as afford the time to make for us to be together.I mentally wrote My Dad Likes Birds in the early summer evenings spending time with my girls in the backyard, hanging out on the hammock, and of course watching birds. Fortunately here in Pasadena, we have a generous variety of birds that captivate our skies and our imagination. Almost all of the pictures in the book were taken by one of us. The end of the day wind down with the family can make all the difference stabilizing the dynamics a family of four can carry. The story, yet short and simple, was written to share and inspire my fellow fathers to find time, spend time or make whatever time possible to capture and share those moments. As an early stage father, these moments are beautiful and priceless.I dedicate this book to all my girls, Taryn, Haven and Mila and thank them for a fulfillment that is impossible to match.

The decade after the Beatles' split gets a second look... In 2010, Robert Rodriguez's Fab Four FAQ 2.0: The Beatles 1970-1980 told the story of the ex-band mates during the first ten years after calling it quits, detailing efforts to establish four separate artistic identities while laboring in the shadow of their glorious collective past; all the while facing the inevitable query, "So when are the Beatles getting back together?" But while 2.0 covered an enormous amount of ground, there were still more stories to tell: John's fight to stay in America against the forces of Nixon Administration; the lawsuits against their business allies-and each other; unreleased recordings; the promo films; album art; covers of ex-Beatle music by other artists (as well as covers by ex-Beatles of other artists' material); bootleg releases and many more subjects. In Solo in the 70s, you'll learn about their people: producers and engineers they worked with; up-and-comers branded as "the new Beatles;" protégés; friends and associates, and a roll call of deaths in the "family." Putting it all in perspective is a 30,000 word day-by-day timeline, contextualizing rock's evolution throughout the 1970s, ending with the death of John Lennon. See for yourself the peers and artistic rivals the ex-Beatles worked alongside while crafting their art and how it all fit together. Solo In The 70s is a welcome addition to the Beatles' reference canon. Richly illustrated with period ephemera, it draws the reader into the world that fans inhabited back in the day. Whether you're seeking to learn more about the post-break-up era or want to revisit a glorious time when four ex-Beatles were creating new music worthy of their legacy, Solo In The 70s puts this unsung era into focus.

El libro también tiene implicaciones para los latinoamericanos que desean crecer dentro de las multinacionales estadounidenses con sedes alrededor del mundo.
