This is a book of reflections by A.A. members for A.A. members. It was first published in 1990 to fulfill a long-felt need within the Fellowship for a collection of reflections that moves through the calendar year--one day at a time. Each page contains a reflection on a quotation from A.A. Conference-approved literature, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, As Bill Sees It and other books. These reflections were submitted by members of the A.A. Fellowship who were not professional writers, nor did they speak for A.A. but only for themselves, from their own experiences in sobriety. Thus the book offers sharing, day by day, from a broad cross section of members, which focuses on the Three Legacies of Alcoholics Anonymous: Recovery, Unity and Service. Daily Reflections has proved to be a popular book that aids individuals in their practice of daily meditation and provides inspiration to group discussions even as it presents an introduction for some to A.A. literature as a whole.

Misinformation has had dramatic and dangerous effects, as evidenced by numerous events of the late 2010s and early 2020s. Reading a steady stream of misinformation leads to distrust, potentially leading to conflict in one's family and workplace, and even to civil unrest. At the heart of many such matters is scientific illiteracy. Many people enjoy a life of ease and convenience because of science--and since science also crosses courtrooms, classrooms and cultures, it has great potential to debunk misinformation and untangle the confusion on such issues as vaccines, sexual identity, race and evolution, alternative medicine, and human reproduction. This book addresses those issues and the popular stories, conspiracies, and misleading headlines that circulate across media platforms. Bringing accurate knowledge into people's agendas is challenging, and this book uses science and facts as a basis of every deliberation over laws and policies. The chapters weave together history, politics, human biology, and law, and demonstrate how our lives are dependent on understanding the nature of things.

"My true story "Bring Joy to Vietnam" comes from my heart's desire to pay homage and bring honor to my thousands of Military Pen Pals from 1963 to 1975 I had the privilege of being bestowed 113 titles from all the Armed Forces which ended up with my being given the title of "Miss South Vietnam." The support I provided for the armed forces at home and at the war sites was both wonderful and terrible. With great sorrow, I would hear from friends of those who were killed, and feel the pain of all who suffered during the war. I treasure all the momentos sent to me by these important friends who appreciated my recognition of their service and sacrifices.

William Pleasant Tyree is the most interesting of all the Tyrees. His accomplishments were extraordinary given the conditions he faced during the time he lived (1821-1874). He was many things during his life: pioneer, soldier, prospector, carpenter, innkeeper, businessman, farmer, politician, and the father of eight children. Throughout his life, he was motivated to serve his neighbors and his community. He was the very definition of public service. William Pleasant Tyree was a patriot whose story deserves to be told.
