Описание: To some people, Florida is a paradise; to others, a punch line. As Oh, Florida! shows, it`s both of these and, more important, it`s a Petri dish, producing trends that end up influencing the rest of the country. Without Florida there would be no NASCAR, no Bettie Page pinups, no Glenn Beck radio rants, no USA Today, no "Stand Your Ground,".

Описание: Soulatry (Poetry for the Soul) is a book about life and the soul in the inner city. The Poems are an expression of the people and the surroundings of the busy city. Soulatry is about the love of people and the ups and downs that we as humans go through and conquer. Soulatry is a book written to show that there is life, hope, desire, and ambition in the soul of a city. This poetry book is meant to embrace the people and the struggle of living. To let people know that someone is there to reach out and never give up. I hope this book touches someone who thinks that all hope is gone and lets them know there is always a better way and bad days don't last always.

"FANTASTIC. If I did not know most of the main players I would have thought the author had a vivid and twisted imagination."--Paul Martin Brown, author of Wild Orchids of Florida
"A fascinating true story of obsession, greed, and lust for the unobtainable. Reminds me a great deal of The Maltese Falcon. This rare flower is definitely the stuff that dreams are made of."--Ace Atkins, author of Devil's Garden and Infamous
"Pittman has captured the extreme competition, unique characters, and general insanity that often typify the orchid world. The Scent of Scandal exemplifies how passion and profit can overrule common sense and the law."--Scott Steward, former associate editor, North American Native Orchid Journal
After its Peruvian discovery in 2002, Phragmipedium kovachii became the rarest and most sought-after orchid in the world. Prices soared to $10,000 on the black market. Then one showed up at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, where every year more than 100,000 people visit. They come for the lush landscape on Sarasota Bay and for Selby's vast orchid collection, one of the most magnificent in the world.
The collision between Selby's scientists and the smugglers of Phrag. Kovachii, a rare ladyslipper orchid hailed as the most significant and beautiful new species discovered in a century, led to search warrants, a grand jury investigation, and criminal charges. It made headlines around the country, cost the gardens hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, and led to tremendous internal turmoil. Investigative journalist Craig Pittman unravels this tangled web to shine a spotlight on flaws in the international treaties governing trade in endangered wildlife--which may protect individual plants and animals in shipping but do little to halt the destruction of whole colonies in the wild. The Scent of Scandal unspools like a riveting mystery novel, stranger than anything in Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief or the film Adaptation. Pittman shows how some people can become so obsessed--with beauty, with profit, with fame--that they will ignore everything, even the law.

Описание: "Craig Pittman has a remarkable talent for telling stories set in the Sunshine State that never fail to fascinate and entertain. Sure, Cat Tale has plenty of laughs and Florida weirdness, but Pittman has written a truly inspirational story about the panther's brush with extinction, and the human beings who were determined to save the species. You won't be able to put Cat Tale down."--Gilbert King, author of the Pulitzer prize-winning, Devil in the Grove It wasn't so long ago when a lot of people thought the Florida panther was extinct. They were very nearly right. That the panther still exists at all is a miracle--the result of a desperate experiment that led to the most remarkable comeback in the history of the Endangered Species Act. And no one has told the whole story--until now. With novelistic detail and an eye for the absurd, Craig Pittman recounts the extraordinary story of the people who brought the panther back from the brink of extinction, the ones who nearly pushed the species over the edge, and the cats that were caught in the middle. This being Florida, there's more than a little weirdness, too. An engrossing narrative of wry humor, sharp writing and exhaustive reportage, Cat Tale shows what it takes to bring one species back and what unexpected costs such a decision brings.

The Seasons of Life Have always been exceedingly good to Challis C-note
Calmsway, but sometimes there is pain and rain. Challis finds himself making
it by the skin of his teeth. He is a believer in Christ who is out of the will of
God. As a backslider, he awaits the Altar Call of Christ. Challis is fighting
against his free will and his family. It is all or nothing, he finds himself at a
fork in the road; will he hang on to who he was or be true to who he craves
and was born to be. The odds are playing heavily against him and the forces
of his flesh tread close reminding him of the sins from his past swinger days.
Will he win and answer the altar call of Christ before Christmas, will he
remain true finally to himself and God and receive what he never hoped for,
or realized what he has always wanted, or will his free will take over and his
