Life's Rich Mix

Vinson Chard

Working in industry as a Chemical Engineer boring ... who says it is? Most people consider working in the Industrial world to be fairly mundane and boring. Well I am able to contradict that erroneous belief. My forty years in industry have been far from ordinary and unexciting. In fact those years have been so eventful and exhilarating, I felt compelled to put events, incidents and a plethora of eclectic, fascinating characters into print and write about my career as a Chemical Engineer from the late sixties to the beginning of the eighties. While I typed away, it occurred to me, these stories are so way out, fantastic and implausible, no-one will believe a word of it. Using that old cliché, fact is often stranger than fiction. Read more and make your own mind up, as it is indeed Life?s Rich Mix.

Elephant Mountain - A Remarkable...

Debbie Ethell

Elephant Mountain is the gripping tale of Debbie Ethell, a young woman whose fascination with an elephant skull in a bone museum leads her down an unexpected path. What begins as a curiosity about the tragic love story of Morgan Berry, the man who gave us Packy (the first baby elephant born in a U.S. zoo in forty-four years), and Eloise Berchtold, one of the world’s greatest animal trainers, soon becomes a chilling mystery. The couple, each killed by separate elephants they raised, left behind a legacy tangled in secrets, cover-ups, and unanswered questions. 
As former owners of a secluded elephant farm in the rugged Pacific Northwest, Morgan and Eloise’s lives and deaths hold the key to a truth long buried beneath layers of deception. Determined to uncover what really happened, Debbie draws on her experience as a conservation research scientist and the steadfast support of her best friend, who is facing a life-threatening illness. While navigating the shadows of her own past, including her ongoing recovery from alcoholism, Debbie finds courage and insight from a herd of wild elephants in Kenya, a group she has studied since childhood. Their stories of survival and loss mirror her own as she delves deeper into a mystery that will test her resolve and redefine her future.

Warren Mosler - Under the Bonnet

Phil Armstrong

"To understand the most disruptive economic ideas of the 21st century, you must first understand the man behind them. This compelling biography provides the essential human story behind the intellectual firebrand who has challenged a global orthodoxy."
Neil Wilson, Gower Initiative for Modern Money Studies, UK.

"Warren Mosler is the most impressive economic thinker of the last 50 years. His ability to think clearly and isolate the signal from the noise is unmatched. Hopefully, his ideas will guide our societies in the 21st century."
Dirk Ehnts, Speaker of the Board, Pufendorf Gesellschaft for Political Economy, Berlin.

"Warren Mosler can be described as a 'renaissance man'. He is driven not only by intellectual curiosity and an enthusiasm for exploring many dimensions of life but primarily by a thirst for change and a desire to support people with generosity and commitment. This book will allow broader audiences to gain an understanding of his groundbreaking insights including and beyond his economic wisdom."
Daniel Kostzer, Chief Economist of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC-CSI), Brussels.

"I'm proud to count Warren Mosler as a friend and congratulate Phil Armstrong on bringing to a large audience this account of his life, his wildly diverse talents, and his many contributions to clarifying the economics of money."

Departure Stories - Betty...

Elisa Bernick

"We weren't religious per se. The most frequent mention of God in our house was my mother yelling 'Goddammit!'" 
Part memoir, part social history, in Departure Stories: Betty Crocker Made Matzoh Balls (and other lies), Elisa Bernick uses her family’s experiences to explore Minnesota’s legacy of antisemitism and the struggle for women’s rights during the 1960s and early 1970s. She tells both heartbreaking and hilarious stories about being the only Jews in the suburb of New Hope during this period and shows how being considered “different” took a toll on her family, particularly her mother. This book discusses abandonment, abuse, intergenerational trauma, and divorce, but it uses humor and sensitivity to present a hopeful message about examining the flexibility of memory and the possibility of rewriting the stories we tell about trauma and transforming them into tales of empowerment. 
Deftly interweaving reporting, archival material, memoir, jokes, scrapbook fragments, personal commentary, and one very special Waikiki Meatballs recipe, Bernick explores how the invisible baggage of place and memory, Minnesota's uniquely antisemitic history, and the cultural shifts of feminism and changing marital expectations contributed to her family's eventual implosion. 
Departure Stories: Betty Crocker Made Matzoh Balls (and Other Lies) is a personal exploration of erasure, immigrants, and exiles that examines the ways departures—from places, families and memory—have far-reaching effects.
