Aiming her pen at such sacred cows as clueless tourists, beloved fall festivals, questionable architecture and The Shack on the Causeway (RIP!), L. Ganss explores the ironies and eccentricities of a summer resort in all its seasons and temperaments. Jam-packed with 230 favorites culled from over two decades of Artoons originally published in Long Beach Island's SandPaper, this collection draws inspiration from the local quirks and rituals of this 18-mile-long Jersey Shore sandbar lovingly known as ''LBI'' and the equally inspiring ''just-over-the-bridge'' mainland. From ''Vacation (Hell)'' and ''Strange Days'' to summer bucket lists and dubious landmarks, Artoon fans will find many of their favorites here and newcomers will be happily immersed in the humorous consequences of too many summers.''Three decades into the one-woman art show that is the weekly Artoon, L. Ganss shows no signs of exhausting the absurdities, ironies and follies that animate her portrait of the beach scene and the bay life.'' -- from the Foreword

Wade McGauley has always considered himself an ordinary guy. Within his own unique journey through life, he has gained wisdom from observing people, witnessing events, and appreciating that we all face many of the same challenges. Through it all, McGauley has come to realize that each of us has a precious human life and it is how we deal with each challenge that counts. In his collection of observations of human behavior and daily living, McGauley shares practical advice tailored to encourage others to embrace each day, face fears, and demonstrate kindness and love to those around them. McGauley explores the aging process while suggesting we reassess what is important in life, examines the effects of deep breathing to instigate a calm demeanor, and relies on musical lyrics as he delves into the negative consequences of gossip. While inspiring others to rethink their place in life, McGauley includes favorite quotes accompanied by his own thoughts about such life-impacting subjects as inner-strength, insecurities, jealousy, pain, gratitude, love, mindfulness, and letting go. How Many Summers? shares wisdom, quotes, and lyrics that will inspire anyone to take the necessary steps to appreciate life and all it offers, before it is too late.

"By the mid-1950s, New York had been the unrivaled capital of America's national pastime for a century, a place where baseball was followed with a truly fanatical fevor. The city's threee teams--the New York Yankees, the New York Giants, and the Brooklyn Dodgers--had over the previous decade rewarded their fans'devotion with stellar performances: From 1947-1957, one or more of these teems had played in the World series every year but one. Yet on opening day 1958, the Giants and Dogers were gone. Their owners, Walter O'Malley and Horance Stoneham, had ripped them away from their longtime home and from the hearts of millions of devoted and passionate fans and taken them to California" -- inside cover.

Under Fire follows the fortunes of the French Sixth Battalion during the First World War. For this group of ordinary men, thrown together from various regions of France and all longing for home, war is simply a matter of survival: the arrival of their rations, a glimpse of a pretty girl, or a brief reprieve in the hospital is all they can hope for. Based on his own experience of the Great War, Henri Barbusse's novel is a powerful account of one of the greatest horrors mankind has inflicted on itself. For the group of ordinary men in the French Sixth Battalion, thrown together from all over France and longing for home, war is simply a matter of survival, lightened only by the arrival of their rations or a glimpse of a pretty girl or a brief reprieve in the hospital. Reminiscent of classics like Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" and Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front," "Under Fire" (originally published in French as "La Feu") vividly evokes life in the trenches -- the mud, stench, and monotony of waiting while constantly fearing for one's life in an infernal and seemingly eternal battlefield.
