These are not tales of violence. Instead, Gravel chronicles the everyday life of men caught up in the whirlwind of armed conflict and the stories that make war personal.

Democracy Unchained draws upon lessons from Professor Richard Dien Winfield's 2018 campaign for US Congress in Georgia to show how the United States' failure to fulfill our social rights has put our self-government in jeopardy and undermined our ability to uphold family welfare and the social opportunity on which democracy depends. Pulling from both basic philosophical argument and research into the state of our society, Democracy Unchained presents detailed policy proposals to fulfill our fundamental right to employment at a fair wage, level the playing field between employee and employer, secure a healthy environment and fair access to healthcare, balance work and family, make decent housing available to all, ensure educational opportunity at all levels, provide legal care for all - enabling everyone's rights to be duly protected - and fund all these measures through fair taxation.

She knows her grandmother's unopened boxes of family heirlooms might contain details about her uncle's life, but she never could have anticipated what she would find. Box after box, she is left in awe, and tears, over the objects inside, mementos that weave untold stories of ancestors she never knew. And by the time she finishes, she's only just begun to unpack the legacy of her great-uncle, a Brigadier General with the 4th Infantry Division during WWII. Through a series of historically significant artifacts, she's led down the beaches of Normandy and straight into the greatest adventure of her life. Unpacking Yesterday: A Brotherhood's Legacy is based on this experience, chronicling the personal journeys of three people from two eras: Uncle Jim, Teddy Roosevelt, Jr., and the author herself. By sharing documents and artifacts found in family boxes as well as details from her own trip to France, the author takes participants down their own paths of discovery, learning about two great men, a war that changed the world, and legacy's lasting impact.

First and foremost, The Last 100 Yards is about soldiers-infantry soldiers-the heart and soul of our Army. Second, it is a history book, describing how after Vietnam our Army developed new doctrine, new equipment, and a tougher, more meaningful training philosophy. Throughout the mid-1970s and 1980s, it laid the groundwork for a leaner, tougher, more resilient Army: the same proud organization that now projects U.S. power and strength around the globe. Third, this book will introduce you to some common sense leaders whose principles still impact our military today. And lastly, this book will give you a glimpse into the lives of military spouses and their children, who serve their country alongside their soldiers.

I Write About Sports is a collection of columns and stories written over the last fifteen years by John Bednarowski, the sports editor of the Marietta Daily Journal. With his vast experience, Bednarowski not only captures the cultural essence of the Georgia sports, but also takes the reader on a journey from the University of Georgia to Amen Corner, from high school football fields to the Atlanta Braves locker room, from Cobb County to Augusta, and the author's home town of Orrville, Ohio. It's a trip well worth taking.“It’s said all politics are local. So is all good sports writing. It comes down to storytelling, and to covering your backyard with heart and style. That’s exactly what John Bednarowski does in his new book. Read it. Savor it. Tell your friends about it.” – Terry Pluto, Cleveland Plain Dealer
