  Long before he hit the big time as the play-by-play voice of the Texas Longhorns and San Antonio Spurs, sportscaster Bill Schoening paid lots of dues. "Stories, Sports, and Songs" is a collection of 101 tales that chronicle Schoening's unlikely and often humorous radio journey. It started with the childhood dream of a 4th grader in inner-city Philadelphia and continued to small market stations in rural areas of Central Illinois and West Texas. Along the way, he wrote melodies and lyrics about his life experiences. Schoening's broadcasting career now spans over four decades, and he has spent half of those years with the Spurs, describing four NBA titles during his 21 seasons.

  This program includes a bonus conversation between the author and editor.Volodymyr Zelensky captivated the world when his country was invaded by Russia in February 2022. His appearances were accompanied by countless inspiring statements. But there's a single one that informs Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: "We are all simple people."Jessie Kanzer sees Zelensky as a Spiritual Leader for Our Times. As a native Russian speaker (like Zelensky himself), she picks up on the deep philosophical ramifications behind his words. Rich and yet easily understood, the life lessons in Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky are accessible and wise, and are more about starting where you are than about war.Kanzer herself has a bit part in Zelensky's life story, acting in one of his movies filmed in the States. She's a self-described "spiritual nerd" who followed Zelensky long before he stood before a blue and yellow backdrop on the national stage. She writes, "What is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness."A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press Essentials.

  Life Wasn't Boring

  Soldiering is a serious, frequently bloody business. That aspect has been documented endlessly. But behind the blood, thunder and de-humanising aspects of conflict are people – people in uniform and people supporting them. All of them have personal feelings and aspirations and they experience the humdrum assortment of daily occurrences that closely match those of their counterparts in civil society. Those aspects of their lives are not widely reported, or appreciated, and it is on those that this book has its focus.
  'Life Wasn't Boring' relates the life, times, successes, failures and, most importantly, the personal inter-actions and loves of a professional infantry officer and his family, over more than a third of the century that was his service. Some parts are as serious as can be expected of a military account. Other parts might surprise, entertain and even amuse the reader. Together they hold up a mirror to reveal the human side of being a soldier.

  The Shakespeare Conundrum -...

  The question of who wrote the works attributed to William Shakespeare has intrigued scholars, historians, and literary enthusiasts for centuries. Despite being one of the most celebrated figures in the world of literature, Shakespeare’s true identity remains a subject of mystery. The sheer volume of his works, their profound depth, and the complexity of their themes have led many to wonder whether the man from Stratford-upon-Avon was truly the author of the plays and sonnets that bear his name. This uncertainty has given rise to one of the most enduring and controversial debates in literary history: the Shakespeare authorship question. 
    
  The core of this mystery lies in the limited biographical information available about Shakespeare’s life. Born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare’s early years remain largely undocumented, with no personal manuscripts or letters bearing his signature. The surviving records of his life mainly consist of legal documents, such as his marriage license, business transactions, and his will. While these historical artifacts confirm his existence and some of his professional endeavors, they provide little insight into his intellectual and literary development. For a figure of his stature, this absence of personal evidence is startling, leading some to question whether the “Stratford man” could have truly written the works attributed to him. 
    
  In the absence of definitive evidence, a number of alternative theories have emerged, suggesting that another writer, or group of writers, may have been responsible for Shakespeare’s remarkable body of work. These theories have ranged from the claim that the works were penned by an aristocrat such as Francis Bacon, to the suggestion that the true author was the playwright Christopher Marlowe, whose death in 1593 has been disputed by some.

  Celebrated yogi Reema Datta adapts her world-renowned 12-week course into book format: an accessible and practical method for attaining mental and emotional well-being, physical health, and spiritual nourishment that combines the ancient wisdom and practice of yoga with cutting-edge science and solutions to the challenges of modern life 
    
  Born into a family of yogis and reared in India and the US, Reema Datta has been steeped in yogic tradition her entire life. She learned that the wisdom of yoga provides precise guidance on how to create a strong, stable, and resilient mind, but when she looked at the current state of yoga, she mainly saw a focus on the physical aspects of postures and breathwork. She set out to change that approach and created The Yogi’s Way, a holistic curriculum to help readers experience lasting peace, connection to purpose, and freedom from the mind’s destructive tendencies. 
    
  Datta’s 12-week course is based on the in-person curriculum she has used with her celebrity students, their families, and thousands of other followers. It offers a specific sequence of movement, meditation, visualization, breathwork, awareness practices, and wisdom to cultivate emotional resilience and enable readers to face and move through fear, anger, shame, anxiety, depression, attachment, jealousy, and loneliness. Written from the perspective of a woman, the book offers a welcome alternative to the tradition of ancient texts and methods that largely represent male perspectives. 
    
  The weekly lessons and practices, rooted in yogic wisdom, cutting-edge science, and the realities of modern life, include: 
    
  • an exploration of the foundations of The Yogi’s Way: motivation, stories, choices, vision, and nourishment 
  • the twelve Pillars: community, breath, healthy thoughts, mantra, meditation, visualization, movement, rest, journaling, communication, nutrition, and service 
  • the Heal Yourself Now™ yoga sequence, which can be practiced in a variety of settings 
    
  By following The Yogi’s Way, readers will do more than build a strong mind and body—they will awaken their creative potential and learn to follow and fulfill their own life purpose.

  A Broken Trust - From their pens...

  Elizabeth Corbett

  Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett was born on the 16th August 1846 at Standishgate, near Wigan. 
  After a good education she worked as a journalist for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle and went on to become a widespread and popular writer of adventure and society novels. 
  As a feminist writer it is a little bizarre that she published as Mrs George Corbett.  Her most ardent feminist work was ‘New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future,’ though other of her works were also similarly themed and dealt with one of the great issues of the day in Victorian society. 
  She married George Corbett in Sheffield in 1868.  They went on to have 4 children, of which only 3 survived. 
  As a writer she was not overly prolific but was perhaps most admired for her female detectives.  During her literary career Detective books were all the rage and authors of both sexes attempted to bring new and unusual angles of characters and narratives before the voracious public.   
  Corbett’s first was in a collection of short stories ‘Adventures of a Lady Detective featuring Dora Bell'.  A later novel introduced a further detective in the guise of Annie Cory. 
  Elizabeth Corbett died on in 1930.
