Summary

Blaise sets off to celebrate her 50th birthday to give gratitude for her life – a walk of 50 days for fifty years, following the Way of St James in the north of Spain. 
What Blaise learns on the Camino de Santiago is gradual, just like the step-by-step journey of over 800 kilometres by foot. With each passing day, the pilgrimage brings more knowledge and understanding into her heart. Beliefs she’s always carried blossom into truths that remain with her well after she returns home to Australia. 
50 Days for Fifty Years is a gorgeous fullcolour memoir that celebrates a journey through life, and the realisations that come with a long, contemplative sabbatical. 
This is a perfect guide for anyone thinking about taking their own pilgrimage along this ancient path.
Available since: 04/07/2020.

    “An overview of the seminal California band’s four-decade career . . . A useful cultural history that is sure to please fans and musicologists.” —Kirkus Reviews   Los Lobos leaped into the national spotlight in 1987, when their cover of “La Bamba” became a No. 1 hit. But what looked like an overnight achievement to the band’s new fans was actually a way station in a long musical journey that began in East Los Angeles in 1973 and is still going strong. Across four decades, Los Lobos (Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, and Steve Berlin) have ranged through virtually the entire breadth of American vernacular music, from rockabilly to primal punk rock, R&B to country and folk, Mexican son jarocho to Tex-Mex conjunto and Latin American cumbia. Their sui generis sound has sold millions of albums and won acclaim from fans and critics alike, including three Grammy Awards.  Los Lobos, the first book on this unique band, traces the entire arc of the band’s career. Music journalist Chris Morris draws on new interviews with Los Lobos members and their principal collaborators, as well as his own reporting since the early 1980s, to recount the evolution of Los Lobos’s music. He describes the creation of every album, lingering over highlights such as How Will the Wolf Survive?, La Pistola y El Corazon, and Kiko, while following the band’s trajectory from playing Mexican folk music at weddings and dances in East LA to international stardom and major-label success, as well as their independent work in the new millennium. Los Lobos gives one of the longest-lived and most-honored American rock bands its due.

    The Worst Journey in the World is a memoir of the 1910–1913 British Antarctic Expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott. It was written and published in 1922 by a survivor of the expedition, Apsley Cherry-Garrard, and has earned wide praise for its frank treatment of the difficulties of the expedition, the causes of its disastrous outcome, and the meaning (if any) of human suffering under extreme conditions.

    There are few people who have been in the wrestling business longer than Jim Ross. And those who have made it as long as he has (half a century to be exact) probably made enemies or burned bridges. But that's just not JR.
    
    Slobberknocker is the story of how an Oklahoman farm kid, with a vivid imagination and seemingly unattainable dreams, became The Voice of Wrestling to record TV audiences and millions of fans around the world. 
    
    Jim opens up about his life as an only child on a working farm, who became obsessed with professional wrestling having first saw it on his grandparent's TV. Even though the wrestling business was notoriously secretive and wary of outsiders, he somehow got a foot in the door to start a historic career, one where he held almost every job in the business from putting up the ring to calling matches, from driving his blind, drunk boss towards revenge, to consoling two naked 600 pound brothers in the shower room after a rough match.
    
    With all those adventures and responsibilities, he's also recognized as the man who built and nurtured a once-in-a-generation talent roster that took the WWE to new heights, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, and The Rock to name a few. Readers will finally get the opportunity to hear never-before-told stories about the politics, wackiness, and personalities of all the biggest stars.
    
    But this isn't just a wrestling story. It's a story about overcoming adversity and achieving your dreams, as success did not come without significant costs and unforeseen challenges to JR, including multiple bouts of severe facial paralysis called Bell's Palsy.
    
    Currently the host of the podcast The Ross Report, any fan of wrestling from the territory days to today will be enthralled with stories from the road and behind the scenes. Slobberknocker is the first time Ross tells his story and you don't want to miss it! An Author's Republic audio production.

    Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama - Book Summary - Abbey Beathan 
    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book) 
    A memoir of the man that became the first Afro-American president in the United States history. 
    Dreams from My Father touches an emotional fiber on all of us. A tale of the struggles of a man in finding meaning to his life, something we can all identify. This summary goes deep into the life of former president Barack Obama, the mystery about his father and the urge to meet the African side of his family. 
    (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way) 
    "The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past." - Barack Obama 
    His soul searching journey begins in New York, where he finds out that his long-lost father died in a car accident, and ends in Kenya where he learns the mystery of his father's life. However, this book can't be seen as a sad story because it also talks about the reconciliation of the two sides of his family and the journey he took to become the man he is today, the former president of the most powerful nation in the world. 
    Barack Obama pours his heart into this title and delivers an outstanding book. Definitely a must-read that will stick with you until the end of times.

    The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want, He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads Me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.He guides in paths of righteousness for his name sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, They comfort me; You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
