No sport rivals football for building character. In the scorching heat of two-a-days and the fierce combat of the gridiron, true leaders are born. Just ask Bill Curry, whose credentials for exploring the relationship between football and leadership include two Super Bowl rings and the distinction of having snapped footballs to Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas. In TEN MEN YOU MEET IN THE HUDDLE, Curry shares the wit, wisdom, and tough love of teammates and coaches who turned him from a next-to-last NFL draft pick into a two-time Pro Bowler.

The sixty-year period following the American Civil War was a time of great wealth accumulation and materialistic excess. This book examines the reasons for the new wealth and its unequal distribution, why quail were the preferred quarry of Gilded Age barons, what attracted the hunting moguls to the North Carolina Piedmont, what became of them and their hunting estates, and how technology produced changes that transformed the American landscape, causing the collapse of quail populations once thought limitless. The Pine Needles lodge, established in 1912, is examined in detail with novel stories based on records, memorabilia, and recollections of descendants of those involved in the establishment and management of the lodge.

Flannery O’Connor's WISE BLOOD is a text full of rich symbolism, a metaphoric landscape which is best understood using an integration of literary and depth psychological hermeneutics. Applying an anagogical framework to the novel, an interpretive approach meant to reveal spiritual meaning, makes it possible to see through the world of O'Connor's Taulkinham, the fictional setting for the novel, to that of the biblical.
