    From 1955 till his assassination in 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January fifteenth, 1929-- April 4th, 1968) was an American Baptist clergyman and activist who ended up being the most identifiable voice and leader in the American civil liberties movement. King used nonviolence and civil disobedience to advance civil liberties, inspired by his Christian convictions and Mahatma Gandhi's tranquil work. He was the child of Martin Luther King Sr., an early civil liberties leader and clergyman. 
King marched for black people's right to vote, desegregation, labor rights, and other fundamental civil liberties, and he led them.

    Herbert Jenkins' most popular fictional creation was Mr. Joseph Bindle, who first appeared in a humorous novel in 1916 and in a number of sequels. In the preface to the books, T. P. O'Connor said that "Bindle is the greatest Cockney that has come into being through the medium of literature since Dickens wrote Pickwick Papers". The stories are based on the comedic drama of life at work, at home and all the adventures that take place along the way. Bindle leaves a path of good-natured destruction behind him and walks away unscathed every time. He is not above embellishing and loves the joke. He refers to jokes as the anesthetic that allows him to endure the operation of life. When he sets about fixing things, they had better well stay fixed or they'll have him to deal with. Indeed, he is a sort of superhero of the Everyman. Let the hilarity begin! (Summary by Don Jenkins)

    What popular musician and composer has given more to the world than the late great George Harrison? Not only was he foundational to the Beatles' greatest music, but he was also an inspired solo performer, philosopher, advocate of Indian religion, Hare Krishna, and arguably, the grandfather of world music. People everywhere could sense the basic honesty, decency, and true compassion of this amazing artist and man. Ask almost anyone who their favorite Beatle is and they will tell you - more often than not - George Harrison. In this riveting, one-of-a-kind audiobook revelation by popular actor author narrator Geoffrey Giuliano, you will find the man behind the music, and further understand the music behind the man. While George Harrison left us far too soon, his work will live forever. This is the perfect audiobook for every serious fan, popular music historian, Krishna devotee, and all inspired school and university systems. George, we all still miss you deeply to this very day!

    Throughout the long and colorful history of Galveston, no name has embodied the "Spirit of the Island" quite like the name Maceo. Two penniless Sicilian immigrants rose from modest beginnings to lead an entire city to prosperity, yet the nature of their industry and its abrupt and embarrassing end resulted in a legacy cloaked in stereotypes and rumor. For nearly forty years, Sam and Rose Maceo ruled a far-reaching underground economy of illegal booze and gambling but used their influence to infuse the "Free State of Galveston" with glamour, fame and fortune--a vision later used as a template for Las Vegas. The island city responded in kind, and its acceptance of the Maceos insulated their empire for decades. Pairing personal interviews of living descendants with her own meticulous research, Kimber Fountain lifts the veil on the Maceo family's closely guarded heritage.
