Steve Hannagan: Prince of the Press Agents and Titan of Modern Public Relations by Michael K. Townsley

"With its behind-the-scenes views of the newspaper world during the first half of the twentieth century, the book is a valuable historical record of a time prior to seismic journalistic shifts. On-point descriptions impart Hannagan's keen understanding of what stories appeal most to editors and readers. Accounts of his agility at straddling the sometimes fine line between journalism and publicity deliver insights into navigating this complex territory." Foreword Reviews

"Townsley explores the details of Hannagan's life and times, emphasizing his charm, creativity, work ethic, and devotion to truth ... [Townsley] evokes 1930s and '40s America with particular precision and skill ... A well-researched, entertaining story of one of history's forgotten standouts." Kirkus Reviews


Steve Hannagan, a highly successful pioneer of public relations, built groundbreaking publicity campaigns for Coca-Cola, the Indy 500, Miami Beach, Sun Valley, Las Vegas, Union Pacific Railroad, and the 1940 presidential campaign. Yet Hannagan, whose personal friends included the likes of Ann Sheridan, Ernest Hemingway, Eddie Rickenbacker, Gloria Swanson, Gene Tunney, Morton Downey, Pop Myers, and Toots Shor, feared he was an abject failure who had contributed little and would leave the world forgotten.

With Steve Hannagan: Prince of the Press Agents and Titan of Modern Public Relations, Michael Townsley seeks to put the man back on the map, introducing readers to the gregarious, charming, whipsmart press agent who never pulled a phony deal while becoming the toast of Hollywood, Broadway, and executive suites across America. Learn how an Irish kid from Bloody Plank Road rose to become a major power broker who shaped the history of marketing, public relations, and business--and how his commonsense approach to press relations, called the Hannagan Way, became deeply embedded in the ethics of modern advertising.

REAL LIFE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT GUIDE FROM A-Z by Jamil Soucar

I have been managing construction projects since 1983. I studied books in college and read several of them afterwards to improve my Construction Management knowledge and skills. I learned a lot from these books, but what those books did not teach me was the real-life challenges in implementing these principles, what works and what doesn’t work.

In Real Life Construction Management Guide from A-Z, I will share with you the lessons I learned the hard way. This book will teach you the theoretical principles plus a real life in-sight, offering a practical guide of best practices to be a successful Construction Manager.

This book is a complete manual taking you through all phases of a project from its inception, through design, all the way to completion of construction. It will cover about all typical issues that you need to know and will face working as a Construction Manager, whether you are managing projects as an Owner’s representative, for a Contractor, if you are an Architect or an Owner who wishes to understand all aspects of projects.

Whether you just started or already a practicing professional, this book will benefit you.
Real Life Construction Management Guide from A-Z is an easy read stile that feels like a conversation more than a lecture.

FARMER'S SON,MILITARY CAREER by Clarence E. "Kip" Vold

The book is done, it is published and now it is ready for you to read and enjoy my story.

I am happy to share my experience growing up on the plains of South Dakota, completing grade school in a one-room school, surviving blizzards, including getting lost in our yard. I have virtually all positive memories, for example, I remember being in severe pain, but I don’t remember the pain. I can look back and see points where a different decision by me would have changed my life, but not necessarily better for me.

Achieving the highest enlisted grade in the Air Force is in ways the culmination of my military career. This career included service as an electronics technician, combat crew member, military training instructor, and scheduler for aircrews, missile crews, and administrative airlift missions within 5th Air Force, and aircraft operations management. I followed the tradition of my late brother Robert in serving a hitch in the military, 3 years for Robert and 30 years for me and then graduating from college.

Of course, life went on after the Air Force and I have included pictures throughout the time of my story to help you understand my story.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born in Mitchell, SD, the only one of my siblings born in a hospital. Raised on a farm by a father that encouraged his children to follow their dreams. He planned on me taking his place on our farm, but I saw a different future that did not include farming.


College was in the future, but initially a failure and the Air Force seemed like an appropriate place to plan my future. The opportunity to travel was there and led to an assignment in Northern Honshu, Japan.

Love was in the air but cut short by the death of my father. Further assignments came, then marriage and at 8 years of service a critical decision had to be made, either a civilian or military career and my choice was the Air Force in a 30-year career that culminated in promotion to the highest enlisted rank.

This career included assignments as an electronics technician, military training instructor and instructor supervisor, a KC & EC-135 boom operator until grounded medically. I scheduled alert and flight training, missile crew alert duty and administrative airlift mission for 5th Air Force, then aircraft operations management.

My boom operator experience included 43 combat missions over Thailand and the Gulf of Tonkin. This included one mission very frightening in retrospect – in a KC-135 following a flight of F-4s towards Hanoi during Linebacker II and at one point about two miles ahead of a B-52 bomb strike. I was at Headquarters 5th Air Force and involved in the KAL 007 recovery operations.

After retirement from active duty my second attempt at college was successful. My employment with Hertz was fun. Farmer’s Son, Military Career is my first published book. I have written extensively about family history and enjoyed writing assignments in college.

NOTES FROM THE TRENCHES A MUSICIAN'S JOURNEY THROUGH WORLD WAR I
by GARY H FOSTER CAPTAIN US NAVY (RET)

The Terror and Triumph of WWI in a Soldier’s Own Words… The Foster family of Wisconsin were vibrant and happy in the early years of the 20th century. Like many families in the area, they were descended from German immigrants and had a healthy appetite for hard work and beer. Barbara Foster, widowed early in life, created a loving home for her children Leo, Ottilia, Mary, and Kunigunda.

They were all musicians, forming their own orchestra and playing in regional and local venues. But despite Woodrow Wilson’s promises, America found itself drawn into the Great War overseas, and Leo Foster, bugler for the Wisconsin National Guard, was sent to the front lines. Nearly a century later, this book reconstructs Leo’s World War I experience from letters, newspaper clippings, and photographs from Leo’s footlocker. Nothing compares to the immediacy of the war experience in a soldier’s own words.

Notes from the Trenches follows Leo from stateside training to the horror of the Meuse-Argonne offensive and his battle-weary return home in May of 1919. Full of wit, good humor, and honesty, these letters provide a fascinating window into the War to End All Wars, with insightful organization and context from Leo’s grandson, Gary Foster.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Gary Foster, Leo Foster’s grandson, was inspired by his grandfather’s legacy and served for 27 years in the US Navy as a naval flight officer.

VISIONS OF LIGHT: INSPIRATIONAL POETRY. STUNNING PHOTOGRAPHY
by Raymond J. Klein

"Challenging explorations in photography"

In this unique collection, Raymond J. Klein offers you astonishing abstract photographic interpretations of light and scenes from nature combined with luminous, inspiring verse. Then he provides step-by-step insights-for anyone with a camera and computer-into the photographic and creative process.

About the author

Born in 1932 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.


Discovery of my dad’s folding Kodak camera, at age 12, began an adventure that continues to this day. The high school I attended had a photography department which allowed an interest in the subject to bloom.


In 1952 a decision to enlist in the U. S. Air Force put me in a photo unit that provided an opportunity to learn how to use multiple types of still and motion picture cameras. Ending the service career, in 1956 at Orlando Air Force base in Florida, a job opportunity, with RCA optics division, was available. It required that I work at Cape Canaveral manning a variety of motion picture cameras at the beginning of the “Space Race.” Another job opportunity at the then Martin Company, now Lockheed Martin, in a new plant in Orlando FL provided me with a portfolio of still pictures of engineers at work. It was here a glimmer of my lighting concept first emerged.


This portfolio propelled me into the advertising field in 1958, where I landed a job with a top art and photography studio in the city of Chicago. Now my true love in the commercial advertising world would continue with additional experimentation on the lighting concept. This experimentation captured the minds of a variety of art directors at advertising agencies, magazines, music recording studios, and with company executives who desired to use a new and exciting approach to display their products in advertisements.


The studio was a member of the Professional Photographers of America, Inc. I was able to achieve a Master of Photography Degree in 1976 with my commercial advertising images.

During this time my fascination with light and lighting effects evolved with the use of multiple exposure on film. Using this unique approach allowed me to develop a series of images that are now sources to use in the art exhibition field which allows me to jury into exhibitions in several art galleries in the town where I am now retired, Vancouver WA.


The digital age opened up a whole new approach to these exciting images and allowed the designs to emerge out of their cocoons, taking on a whole new meaning. Now using these lighting concepts, in combination with the DSLR, has won prizes in contests sponsored by the international Popular Photography & Imaging magazine.


A chance meeting with a group of poets revealed an uncanny attraction the abstract and natural images had to the poetry I was hearing at their monthly meetings. Collaborating with them I have now completed a book. It is titled ‘Visions of Light,” combining these unique images and poems. The book gives me an opportunity to reveal how the experimental design images were conceived and how they relate to poetry.


In revealing the techniques, used to accomplish the images in the book, I hope people with cameras and photographers in general, will be able to expand their horizons.

Age And Experiences by Robert Duddle
This poem collection was produced in light of my philosophy of life, my love, and some indication of my varied travel experiences. My hope is that you, my readers, find at least some of them interesting.

About the Author
Born in Preston in 1931 where I have lived all my life. As the war ended I left school to start an Auto-electrical apprenticeship when I was 14, with strict instructions from my father that I had to go to Night School. With a Higher National Certificate and further study I trained as a Further Education College Lecturer. Membership of the Institution of Electrical Engineers followed together with a Bachelors Degree with the Open University. During my career as a College Lecturer in Electrical Engineering I had no inclination to read or write poetry whatsoever. However after losing my wife of 56 years, to brain cancer, I composed my very first poem (Here Still) some 8 months later at the age of 82.

Lauren Lake, the TV Judge Who Sang Back-Up
for P. Diddy & Mary J. Blige, Presides over
Lauren Lake’s Paternity Court

Ric Speaks with Judge Lauren Lake About Her Unusual Path to the
Courtroom and the Emotional Cases She Oversees in
Lauren Lake’s Paternity Court, Now in its Sixth Season

It’s safe to say Lauren Lake isn’t quite like other TV courtroom judges. Yes, she earned her law degree at Wayne State University in Detroit and she’s a member of the New York, New Jersey and Michigan bars with concentrations in family, criminal and entertainment law. But this judge is a former professional singer, songwriter and producer who sang back-up for multi-platinum artists such as Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, P. Diddy, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. She’s also an interior design expert who hosted HGTV’s Spice Up My Kitchen for six seasons and was the HGTV Showdown Champion for two consecutive years.

Now, Lauren can be seen each day on the nationally syndicated daytime TV series Lauren Lake’s Paternity Court, which recently began its sixth season. In the two-time Emmy-nominated® series, Judge Lauren uses her sharp wit and strong opinions – as well as DNA test results -- to preside over highly emotional paternity cases that often lead to life-changing consequences and new beginnings.

Lauren Lake is a highly sought-after speaker and lecturer, a best-selling author (2009’s Girl, Let Me Tell You), and a strong advocate for women’s empowerment, having founded the Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network. Speak with Lauren about her unusual path to the courtroom, her thoughts on gender equality issues and the #MeToo movement, and what viewers can expect in the new season of Lauren Lake’s Paternity Court.
