Whether nestled on a corner in a quiet neighborhood or smack in the midst of the hustle and hurry-up of a busy city, the Irish pub has for centuries been a place of refuge and camaraderie. It is where friends congregate, new friendships are made and the impositions of the outside world are kept at bay. It is a phenomenon unique in history. Some Irish pubs have achieved cult status; others are hardly known save by the neighborhood regulars that frequent them. In the United States there are hundreds, if not thousands, of Irish pubs seeking to tap into the seemingly endless affection for all things Irish. Millions don the green on St. Patrick's Day, or cheer the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame or stomp their feet to Irish tunes. It seems that nearly everyone wants to be Irish, if only for a moment. While there are Irish pubs virtually everywhere in the world, this book acknowledges the institution as it has developed in the United States. Hopefully, the reader will be led to a greater appreciation of Irish pubs wherever in the world they may be found. Even more importantly, Irish Pubs in America is a tribute to the amazing Irish immigrants who have contributed so much to our wonderful country; to our economy, to our culture and certainly to our politics, while simultaneously maintaining their strong sense of tradition. This 336-page, full color coffee table book features over fifty Irish pubs in the United States. In addition to the fabulous photographs, you can read about the rich history as well as some of the back stories of the pubs. As icing on the cake, you can try your hand at some of the delicious recipes that the pubs serve on a daily basis. Some of these recipes were handed down from relatives in Ireland.

Courage Is Abundant In the Abstract is about my dream. I wanted to build a bed and breakfast and become an inn keeper. I thought about it all of the time, but I never acted on it. When a dear friend said to me, Selena if there is something that has been on your heart for so long that you just can't seem to shake it, well then, it might just be from God. How could I argue with that? So my journey began. I did it, and you can too. In fact, I will show you how. In this book, you will see the steps I took and the plan I followed to make Tiffany Hill a reality. I've created a path that you can begin using today.

Photo essay covering Atlanta Falcons photographer Jimmy Cribb's illustrious career. First I ll tell you what this book is not. It s not a book of great sports photography. It s not a book telling you step by step how to take great sports photos. But I do believe there are certain qualities a great sports photo needs. It needs to be a sharp image. It needs to be peak action, faces showing if possible, and it needs to have really, really good lighting. In this book, I won t tell you a lie, but I will tell you a story. The good tales are all here.

Cha Cha, like all children, lives in a dream world, wandering the prosperous fields of her familys tree farm and wondering what the future will bring. However, not all is as it seems in this idyllic little home. Because while Cha Chas father loves her dearly, her mother has expectations; expectations Cha Cha can never hope to live up to. Then tragedy strikes, turning Cha Chas world upside down and forcing her to grow up and fast. Though kind neighbors and a helpful town do all they can for the now broken family, one loss follows another, and Cha Cha soon finds herself adrift in a storm of confusion and heartbreak. Perhaps it is time she leaves the tree farm and the ghosts of her past behind, setting off in her fathers peach-colored wagon...in search of happiness at the end of the rainbow. And she ll find it, in perhaps the most unexpected of places a small Southern town called Divine, with a donkey named Ariabella, an extraordinary little boy, and a man who just might be the love of her life.
