Intriguing New Book Looks into the Fascinating Life of a Country Lawyer
MORAGA, Calif. (PRWEB) January 23, 2012
Do small towns handle legal matters in the same way that cities do? Author George Kilbourne who brought readers When We Were Young, brings to them another memorable read that will let them look into the life and experiences of a Country Lawyer.
After practicing law in the San Francisco Bay Area for five years, and then moving to a small town in Indiana, it never ceases to amaze the author as to the difference in legal concerns and the real life situations that exist between the two. It was as if he had stepped back into another and prior century. Now, over fifty years later, the composition and the character of the legal matters he has handled loom large in retrospect. They reflect the raw side of life that a “country lawyer” had to deal with in stark contrast to what he had left and what he returned to in the city practice.
Country Lawyer is a collection of cases, and discussion of circumstances as encountered in practice and on day-to-day situation reflecting day-to-day concerns and reactions to people and true life as it existed half a century ago. It gives readers a fascinating glimpse of what a country lawyers life is like and how the legal concerns differed from the city.

About the Author
Born and raised in a small town in Eastern Kentucky, author George Kilbourne served in the Marine Corps in WWII in the South Pacific before returning to the states to go to school. After getting a degree in mechanical engineering at the University, he moved to the West Coast to work for a large corporation as an engineer. A bout with tuberculosis forced a vacation that caused a change in life perspective, and allowed the getting of a law degree at the University of California Berkeley, and subsequent law practice in Berkeley, before moving to a small town in Indiana for law practice. Six years there, with cases coming in that reflected the difference in life style, he returned to Berkeley and the San Francisco Bay Area, where he now lives in retirement.

New Release Shares One Womans Experiences Teaching in a Maximum-Security Prison; Book by Merle Helen Morrow
SUNDERLAND, M.D. (PRWEB) November 10, 2011
So Am I: What Teaching in a Prison Taught Me is a fascinating portrait of men in a GED class in a maximum-security prison working diligently to better themselves under sometimes heartbreakingly difficult circumstances. It also portrays Merle Helen Morrows struggle to view her students as multi-faceted individuals, rather than simply as convicts a struggle made more difficult when, after one and-a-half years of teaching, she discovered the nature of her students crimes and had to reconcile that knowledge with her feelings toward the men she had come to know and respect as friends.
Morrows perception of prisoners first began to change on Sept. 11, 2001, when she saw the sorrow and patriotism of prisoners in a maximum-security prison she was visiting in connection with her job at the Department of Justice. As a result, Morrow retired from the Department of Justice, and spring of 2002 found her teaching a GED class at the Maryland House of Correction, a mens maximum-security prison.
Initially intimidated by the prisoners, Morrow soon developed a rapport with the students in her class and found herself admiring their effort and their fortitude in the face of tremendous, albeit self-inflicted, difficulty. Her relationship with her students inspired in her the desire to share their stories with the outside world. Morrow made a promise to one of her students that she would let the general population know that the men in prison were not all monsters, but rather that many of them, like the men in her class, were individual human beings who had committed crimes but were trying to rehabilitate themselves, with little to no help either from the outside or from within the system that confined them.
Author Merle Helen Morrow practiced law for 30 years, and upon retirement taught a GED class in a mens maximum security prison for more than three years. Morrow has since volunteered in various capacities aiding prisoners, including teaching in a mens pre-release unit for one year and ongoing volunteer activities with the Maryland Restorative Justice Initiative, which awarded her the 2008 Volunteer of the Year Award. Morrow and her husband live in Maryland. She will donate her royalties to prisoner rehabilitation programs.

New Release Showcases Contributions of The Civilian Conservation Corps at Grand Canyon National Park; Book by Robert Audretsch
Flagstaff, AZ (PRWEB) November 03, 2011
The Grand Canyon National Park was just one beneficiary of the Civilian Conservation Corps program, a brilliant piece of legislation that brought work for the unemployed and revived the countrys natural resources. The Corps was a saving grace for young men beaten down by the Great Depression and its 25 percent unemployment rate. From 1933 to 1942, nearly three million men performed conservation work in national parks, state parks, national forests and other publicly held lands. The Corps work in the Grand Canyon is the focus of this new book on a topic close to the authors heart: Audretsch spent almost 20 years as a ranger at the park.
Shaping the Park and Saving the Boys showcases improvements in the Grand Canyons infrastructure. Trails, roads, telephone lines, fences and trail rest houses benefited visitors in the park shortly after their construction, and many still exist today. From the first corps camp at the South Rim to the Colorado River Trail, Corps members put their hearts and souls into digging, constructing and restoring the canyons assets. Photos from the parks museum collection and other archives illustrate the rugged conditions. The well-researched book details not only the work men performed but their leisure time and daily life in camp. President Franklin Roosevelts ambitious plan paid off: The Corps saved national treasures and forever changed the lives of its members.
Author Robert Audretsch retired as a National Park Service ranger at the Grand Canyon National Park in 2009. Audretsch, who has degrees in history and library science from Wayne State University, has now devoted himself to research and writing full time about the Civilian Conservations Corps.

New Book Explores the Retirement Transition
ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) September 27, 2005
When retired Atlanta businesswomen Wicke Chambers and Cheryl Stephenson couldnt find a book to help them through the lifestyle issues they faced in their retirement transition, they wrote the book themselves. Published by Winslow Press Celebrate Retirement, the Freedom and the Frustrations is a 151-page softcover workbook for retirees, employees approaching retirement, and their spouses, friends and family. It can be purchased on the web at http://www.CelebrateRetirement.com.
By retirement, most people have their finances in order. Its the lifestyle issues that they trip over, according to Chambers, retired entrepreneur and co-author of the book. Many retirees, and their spouses, suffer in silence over losing their identity, figuring out how to fill their time, finding meaningful activities, and adjusting to either full-time matrimony or a full-time single life.
Chambers and co-author Stephenson, who retired early after years of corporate life, discovered this through personal experience and through talking with other retired executives who participated in five years of Reinventing Retirement classes the authors taught at the Emory University Academy for Retired Professionals.
This book is unique because it was written by retirees for retirees providing an honest, open, authentic voice for the retirement transition. Celebrate Retirement, the Freedom and the Frustrations, not only shines a light into the nooks and crannies of retirement, it contains 25 exercises to help readers work through the transition.
For additional information or a sample copy, contact Cheryl Stephenson at 770-254-8352.

Robert Margetic?s New Book Offers 5 Steps to Navigate through the Retirement Storm
Fairfax, CA (PRWEB) September 14, 2011
Recent headlines show that a confluence of forces?from four million new retirees each year, massive government debt and unsustainable deficits, a still-broken financial system, and a global economic slowdown?power the retirement storm. Its unknown magnitude and duration will overwhelm the current retirement system. To aid new retirees, author Robert Margetic pens a book that contains the five-step process for success in volatile times, How to Survive the Coming Retirement Storm.
?New retirees are caught in the transition period between the old crumbling system and the yet-to-be defined system. This interim is the retirement storm. Its full impact is two to five years out, but the ominous clouds are on the horizon,? Margetic points. ?Seventy-five percent state that they aren?t prepared to manage the twenty to thirty years they will spend in retirement. Fifty-four percent fear outliving their money.?
How to Survive the Coming Retirement Storm helps readers navigate the gap between the old, broken system, and the yet-to-be-defined new system. It offers readers a new perspective on the new retirement environment and the tools to guide them to safety. Retirees are taught on how to place a new emphasis on the balance between expense and income; manage their personal affairs and their investments in a different way; learn new ways to manage and control their retirement; and create a dynamic form of retirement planning and management.
Readers will be able to mark actual and relative progress, make informed decisions, and continually renew projections to guide them to a successful retirement.
