For the past four decades there have existed a variety of debates concerning the creation of the monster truck. Most of the arguments are flawed, as they are largely based on the fundamental presumption that the monster truck is a static concept in terms of both construction and purpose. This book delineates how the monster truck is not a singular creation but instead the sum of many technologies orchestrated in a manner to achieve purposes that, like the vehicles, have evolved over time. Author Marty Garza takes the reader on a journey through various phases of monster truck development and occasionally provides evidence of the existence of variations of the concept that predate the establishment of the term. Monster truck fans will be provided with not only the nuts and bolts of individual technological developments but also the context in which they were created. Monster Trucksdepicts unique images that are true to the very nature of the developments themselves. The imagery may be dated, but it's vitally important for the preservation of the heritage of the monster truck industry and serves to recognize those individuals whose contributions have been largely overlooked though they played a significant role in achieving the spectacular level of technology observed today.

THE EVENTS OF EARTH'S PAST MAY HOLD THE KEY TO EARTH'S SALVATION IN THE FUTURE Marty Cohen was a gifted linguist and student of ancient military strategy who stepped away from academic Egyptology and opened a woodworking shop. Away from the bitter politics and petty rivalries, he’s happy to take care of his people, play the occasional war game, and try to make a good life. He discovers mysterious visions rob him of sleep, and then he gets summoned back to Egypt: an off-the-grid dig funded by an eccentric financier has discovered texts that may be the earliest Egypt has produced, and they’ll pay Marty silly amounts of cash just to fly out and take one little look. Marty turned his back on the academia game, but he’s a small business owner who has to make payroll, and he can’t say no to the money. But the texts open doors to more visions and to an astonishing journey: the ragtag team of archaeologists finds itself in protohistoric North Africa, a drying land dominated by horrors, where humanity is badly in need of champions. And behind the war against the fearsome overlords lies a greater struggle: Marty and his team have been chosen to be champions of all Earth and to run a gauntlet on humanity’s behalf. Failure will mean extinction. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). Praise for Time Trials: “This highly enjoyable novel by Rothman and Butler is full of nonstop action, bits of science, mystery, humor, and enough Ancient Egypt trivia to satisfy any history enthusiast. The quest narrative and the Dungeons & Dragons-style team structure recall familiar fantasy tropes, but the authors manage to develop the characters well, giving each of them their own distinct arcs and it results in a tale that’s well worth reading. The overarching mystery keeps the pages turning in an adventure tale that refreshingly shows respect for ancient civilizations and their accomplishments. An entertaining first entry in what promises to be a fantastic time-travel series.” —Kirkus

Childhood summer vacations are always special, but the summer before a life-changing event like your first year of high school can be particularly memorable. The great unknown of venturing out of your neighborhood comfort zone and meeting new friends can be stressful but also holds out the promise of meeting lifelong friends. The Summer of 1964 tells the story of Marty McAlynn, a fourteen-year-old boy, as he experiences his last summer before entering secondary school. As the summer develops, it is shaping up as the greatest summer of his young life for several reasons. His favorite team, the almost always hapless Philadelphia Phillies, are defying all expectations and are in the thick of a red-hot pennant race. Marty is also indulging his creative passion and love of the classic Universal horror movies by making his very own home movie, a monster film about Frankenstein and the Wolfman. Marty lives in the heart of South Philadelphia with his large family headed by his dad, Martin Senior, a Philadelphia fireman; his mom, Veronica, a stay-at-home mother of ten children; and his maternal grandfather, Adolph, a World War I veteran and refugee from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Marty discovers the joys and heartache of a summer that will never be forgotten. It is also a bittersweet tale of how baseball can bind three generations with agonizing thrills, heartbreaking defeats and lifetime memories.
