TBE is delighted to add to our roster international documentary photographer, world traveler and explorer Daryl Hawk, who possesses an adventurous heart! A most unusual man, Daryl travels alone, free as the wind, to some of the most remote and isolated places in the world. This charming and dynamic man has such amazing photos, adventures and stories to share. Be ready! Daryl has the WOW factor. Congratulations to Ernest J. Gaines who will be awarded the 2010 Aspen Prize for Literature at the Aspen Summer Words Literary Festival, which is celebrating “Crossroads: A Literary Intersection of the American South.” Check out www.aspenwriters.org from June 22 to July 6th and you will be able to see Mr. Gaines and seven other splendid Southern writers participate in a panel discussion. Millions of readers, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians have found their faith transformed by the good news of Jesus’ unconditional compassion and love which they have encountered in Father Joseph F. Girzone’s ten Joshua books. Not many people though know about Father Joe’s faith journey that brought him to creating the Joshua books. But Pulitzer Prize nominated poet Barbara Benjamin does. Barbara has written The Joshua Priest, A Biography of Faith, an inspiring and life changing book. We welcome this talented woman back and recommend her to you for poetry readings and for retreats on leadership, or on spiritual growth and development. As always, it’s a privilege to work with Gregory Stephens, author of On Racial Frontiers: The New Culture of Frederick Douglass, Ralph Ellison, and Bob Marley. His thinking has never been more timely. Professor Stephens talks about an expanded definition of what it means to be an American. By merely speaking from life experience, he connects to a lot of different people. Gregorio says, "I am trying to help people develop a multi-ethnic sense of kinship, which is what King meant by Beloved Community, what Douglass sought, what the Bible means by One Blood, what Marley meant by One Love." TBE Press proudly announces the publication of the Second Edition of Evan Weiner’s The Business & Politics of Sports, to be released as an e-book on August 15, 2010. It contains over 100 of Evan Weiner’s columns written between 1998 and 2010 that describe the power plays, players, media and political (federal, state, local and global) connections, which rule the multi-billion dollar a year global business of sports. At the heart of Evan Weiner’s writing lies his belief that “it’s great to watch a game and report on it, but democracy deserves more than a box score when it comes to scrutinizing the business of sports.” We continue to believe that Darryl Tookes is one of the most talented singers performing today. Check out www.newenglandmorning.com. All the songs are available at iTunes. Or, send an e-mail to info@thegramophoneshop.com . Jack Trifero, owner of The Gramophone Shop, one of the great independent record stores, will be happy to sell you a New England Morning CD and answer your questions about classical, jazz and popular albums.
