Before rail and steam encroached on the pastoral communities of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, generations of farmers and miners traversed its green earth and burbling creeks. The dawn of the automobile brought unprecedented development, and the sleepy hamlets soon stirred to become the hub of the suburbs. Zandy Dudiak chronicles this fascinating evolution through tales of hardscrabble frontier living, the coming of the railroad and post World War II prosperity. Dudiak reintroduces characters such as the tenacious tavern keeper Widow Miers and Harold Brown, who trained a generation of aviators on the airfields of Monroeville. Stories of lost amusement parks, the faded stars of the Holiday House and the glory days of the Ice Palace recall a Monroeville from days gone by."

On the radar of Major League Baseball scouts, Ed Adams, a standout high school hitter from Penn Hills, Pa., headed south in 1977 to play Division I baseball for the University of South Carolina. In his sophomore year, a passion for food that he could not control took hold. He struck out, leaving his dreams in the dust of the baseball diamond. As he gained and lost hundreds of pounds, the soul of an athlete remained and drove him to fight his demons time and time again. In Dying to Eat: Confessions of a Food Addict, Ed shares his story with the hopes of inspiring those who struggle with their weight to keep fighting — and to realize that there is more to life than the numbers on a scale.
