A refreshing memoir of battles and self-belief from one of the NHL's most revered enforcers 
 
 
 
Shawn Thornton was an unlikely NHL success, to say the least. The Oshawa, Ontario, native was picked late in the OHL and later thought he was being pranked when the Toronto Maple Leafs called him to say he'd been selected in the seventh round of the 1997 NHL draft. 
 
 
 
After years spent working and maturing in the AHL, Thornton would go on to play fourteen seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks, Boston Bruins, and Florida Panthers, winning two Stanley Cups along the way. 
 
 
 
For the first time, in this candid memoir, Thornton opens up about his life in hockey and beyond, from his early days as an unrated prospect to the leadership lessons he learned in the minors, from the most difficult on-ice brawls to the ecstasy of reaching the sport's most celestial heights. 
 
 
 
Fans will not want to miss this story of perseverance and finding one's own path.

Eccentric Icons - Celebrities...

John Harpoon

Eccentricity has always held a peculiar charm, especially when it intertwines with fame. The world has an undeniable fascination with individuals who deviate from societal norms, and celebrities—already basking in the spotlight—amplify that intrigue when their beliefs and behaviors stray into the unconventional. These outliers captivate audiences not merely for their talents but for the mystique surrounding their lives and choices. From deeply spiritual practices to alien encounters, and from promoting conspiracy theories to endorsing esoteric health trends, eccentric icons represent a kaleidoscope of human curiosity and creativity. 
The appeal of celebrity eccentricity lies in its ability to humanize those we often place on pedestals. At their core, their quirks reveal a vulnerability, a need to search for meaning beyond the superficial trappings of fame. This quest for deeper truths resonates with audiences, as it mirrors our own journeys to make sense of the unknown. When a globally recognized musician advocates for meditation or a Hollywood star discusses their belief in extraterrestrial life, it bridges the gap between their extraordinary existence and the ordinary lives of their fans. These moments of relatability foster a sense of connection that fuels fascination.

Greg Ehrbar, Tim Hollis, Leonard...

Mouse Tracks: The Story of Walt Disney Records chronicles for the first time the fifty-year history of the Disney recording companies launched by Walt Disney and Roy Disney in the mid-1950s, when Disneyland Park, Davy Crockett, and the Mickey Mouse Club were taking the world by storm. The book provides a perspective on all-time Disney favorites and features anecdotes, reminiscences, and biographies of the artists who brought Disney magic to audio. 
 
 
 
Authors Tim Hollis and Greg Ehrbar go behind the scenes at the Walt Disney Studios and discover that in the early days Walt Disney and Roy Disney resisted going into the record business before the success of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" ignited the in-house label. Along the way, the book traces the recording adventures of such Disney favorites as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Cinderella, Bambi, Jiminy Cricket, Winnie the Pooh, and even Walt Disney himself. Mouse Tracks reveals the struggles, major successes, and occasional misfires. Included are impressions and details of teen-pop princesses Annette Funicello and Hayley Mills, the Mary Poppins phenomenon, a Disney-style "British Invasion," and a low period when sagging sales forced Walt Disney to suggest closing the division down. 
 
 
 
Mouse Tracks is a collector's bonanza of information on this little-analyzed side of the Disney empire.
