Most people don't realize that there's nothing new under the sun (as a Spanish refrain reminds us). Most of what we see that's "new" is in the packaging only-the thoughts and ideas have been around as long as people have. The Law of Attraction isn't new-it's been talked about for as long as people have been around. The Secret isn't a secret at all-many people have been teaching and living these principles for many years. In this book you'll find valuable wisdom that will get you to think about your own life and the way that you live it, wisdom that can help you to thrive in life, creating for yourself a life of abundance. Includes "Acres of Diamonds," "As a Man Thinketh," "Self-Reliance," "The Heart of the New Thought," "The Wayfarer on the Open Road," "Character: The Grandest Thing in the World," and "Civil Disobedience."

For years, the people of Canyon Bluff have shared the stories of the Nogglz, their own version of the monsters in the closet. "If you don't behave, the Nogglz will come and get you and carry you down into the mines," they've told their children. Of course, they were just stories. Nobody could have stayed alive in an old mine for six decades. But when one of their own is brutally murdered one cold November night, it may be time to come to terms with the sins of their fathers and their own ties to the town's dreadful past. And for the sheriff and his deputy and the state troopers who are called to the town to deal with the murder, an ordinary day becomes an extraordinary battle for simple survival.

The Martin Ukulele is a detailed look at the ukuleles built by the C. F. Martin Co. of Nazareth, PA, and at how the instruments' success forever changed the company that made them. Martin's ukulele-making led the small, respected builder of fine guitars and mandolins into an era of unprecedented growth in the 1920s and helped it become one of the most legendary manufacturers of high-quality guitars in the world. Drawing heavily from the extensive archives at the Martin factory, the book examines the company and its development, from production records, sales ledgers, and a vast collection of correspondence to hundreds of photos, including many of the rarest ukuleles the company produced. Extensive additional imagery chronicles the history of the popularity of the ukulele itself. The book is both a narrative about Martin's ukulele manufacturing history and a reference work detailing the numbers of each style of ukulele ever made by the company.It is an exploration from Martin's first attempt at production in 1907, to the peaks of ukulele popularity in the 1920s and '50s, to the disinterest that caused Martin to cease ukulele production in the 1990s, to the recent resurgence that has allowed the firm to again offer a wide assortment of new models.
