(Quicksand A Family Foundation begins a family saga in the...)
Quicksand A Family Foundation begins a family saga in the early 1800's that stretches across France, England, Wales, and eventually America. Deceit, lies, secrets, and character flaws weave their way into the lives of each family member and corrupt the quest for a solid foundation. Joseph and Emma experience love at first sight. He awakens in her dormant lust and unquenchable desire, but their love story is besieged by powerful circumstances beyond her control and his dedication to England and the British Royal Navy. What starts as a romantic journey ends in tragedy. Fate deals the couple a disastrous blow and the irony that follows is so twisted that the next generations suffer the consequences.

Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXIX AN EVENING WITH DICK T U R P I N Dick's ride to York--In hot pursuit--Three to one--The death of Bess--Dick escapes after all IS my share of the evening's entertainment," said the major, "I will read you an extract from Harrison Ainsworth's novel 'Rookwood,' describing the night ride of Dick Turpin, the famous highwayman you heard me mention on the coach from Bath, from London to York astride his famous mare 'Black Bess.' Turpin had been up to his usual tricks of robbing stage coaches or solitary horsemen. A constable, Paterson, and a lawyer, Coates, were in pursuit. While stopping at an inn on the outskirts of London to empty a glass or two with a friend, Turpin was surprised by the arrival of his pursuers. He made a dash for his horse, got astride, and was off from beneath their very noses. "Arrived at the brow of the hill, whence such a beautiful view of the country surrounding the metropolis is obtained, Turpin turned for an instant to reconnoiter his pursuers. Coates and Titus he utterly disregarded; but Paterson was a more formidable foe, and he well knew that he had to deaf with a man of experience and resolution. It was then, for the first time, that the thoughts of executing his extraordinary ride to York first flashed across him; his bosom throbbed high with rapture, and he involuntarily exclaimed aloud, as he raised himself in the saddle, ' I will do it!' "Aroused by the approaching clatter of his pursuers, Dick struck into a lane which lies on the right of the road, now called Shootup-hill Lane, and set off at a good pace in the direction of Hampstead. "' Now, ' cried Paterson, 'my boys, we must not lose sight of him for a second in these lanes.' "At length, after various twistings and turnings in that deep and devious lane; after...

( Roughly half the world's population speaks languages de...)
Roughly half the world's population speaks languages derived from a shared linguistic source known as Proto-Indo-European. But who were the early speakers of this ancient mother tongue, and how did they manage to spread it around the globe? Until now their identity has remained a tantalizing mystery to linguists, archaeologists, and even Nazis seeking the roots of the Aryan race. The Horse, the Wheel, and Language lifts the veil that has long shrouded these original Indo-European speakers, and reveals how their domestication of horses and use of the wheel spread language and transformed civilization. Linking prehistoric archaeological remains with the development of language, David Anthony identifies the prehistoric peoples of central Eurasia's steppe grasslands as the original speakers of Proto-Indo-European, and shows how their innovative use of the ox wagon, horseback riding, and the warrior's chariot turned the Eurasian steppes into a thriving transcontinental corridor of communication, commerce, and cultural exchange. He explains how they spread their traditions and gave rise to important advances in copper mining, warfare, and patron-client political institutions, thereby ushering in an era of vibrant social change. Anthony also describes his fascinating discovery of how the wear from bits on ancient horse teeth reveals the origins of horseback riding. The Horse, the Wheel, and Language solves a puzzle that has vexed scholars for two centuries--the source of the Indo-European languages and English--and recovers a magnificent and influential civilization from the past.

"Guerrillapreneur" is a combination of the words "Guerrilla" and "Entrepreneur," and it is the name given by the author to enterprising, cash, and environment-conserving small business executives who are dedicated to defeating corporate Goliaths. David used a slingshot and pouch of rocks to defeat Goliath. The author profiles past "Davids" like Wal-Mart, Apple, and Turner Enterprises, and derives from their garage-to-Goliath transformations the ultimate small business "slingshot" strategy and "marketfighting" tactics. Guerrillapreneur is a MUST READ for every entrepreneur! 1 Samuel 17 of the King James Bible details the battle between David, an undersized Israeli teenager, and Goliath, a nine foot tall Philistine warrior. As the Israeli and Philistine armies prepared for war in nearby camps, Goliath taunted the Israeli army and challenged any man brave enough to head-to-head battle. David, armed with slingshot and a pouch of rocks, accepted Goliath's challenge. As Goliath charged with spear in hand, David released a rock from the slingshot and struck the giant in the forehead knocking him down. David took Goliath's sword and removed the Philistine's head. The sight of David holding Goliath's decapitated head sent the Philistine army into retreat. The moral of the story: small players with good strategies can defeat even the biggest giant.
