Book excerpt: Life is about experiencing the thrill of victories and the agony of defeats, which is something Gabe "Fireball" Nelson understood well. A professional baseball pitcher/ coach in Atlanta for twenty-three years, he grew weary of being in the spotlight and facing constant media attention. Gabe retired from baseball and sought a life of anonymity. He wanted to live in an area where he wouldn't be easily recognized, and the little town of Jackson, South Carolina appeared to be the perfect choice. While Gabe and his wife were adjusting to their new life, Tyler Watkins was facing hurdles of his own. At age six, Tyler's father passed away, and he withdrew into a shell. Two years later, things hadn't improved, and his mother was concerned about his emotional development. She decided to move to Jackson and hoped the change would help end Tyler's grieving. After meeting Tyler, Gabe felt he possessed something that might help his young friend a passion for baseball. While mentoring Tyler in baseball and life, Gabe realized he had been missing something he loved dearly interacting with the fans. What follows is a heartwarming story about a growing relationship, as Gabe's passion becomes Tyler's, and a dream of playing on green diamonds is born. This enlightening sports story is appropriate for all ages and genders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paragon of physical perfection and a sparkling example of Earth's forces at work, the diamond has fascinated all realms of society, from Russian tsars and Hollywood stars to scientists and brides-to-be. The Nature of Diamonds is an authoritative and richly illustrated look at nature's most coveted gem. Leading geologists, gemologists, physicists, and cultural observers cover every facet of the stone, from its formation in the depths of the Earth and its explosive ascent to the surface, to its economic, regal, social, and technological roles. The book takes the reader to cutting-edge research on the frontiers of diamond exploration and exploitation, from Arctic wastes to laboratories that create industrial diamonds for cutting tools that slice through rock. Charting the history of mining from its origins in India and Brazil, the book follows the diamond rush in South Africa to today's high-tech enterprises. It provides a glimpse into the economics of the diamond trade, and an overview of diamond cutting, from the rough uncut stones in early Indian and Roman jewelry to the multifaceted stones we see today. The cultural history of the diamond as both a revered and a social symbol is explored, from its early history as the exclusive property of royalty to today's brilliant-laden jewelry as an emblem of wealth and status. The engaging text is complemented by more than 200 lavish illustrations which span fine art, earth science, and cultural studies and capture the brilliance and beauty of this extraordinary gem.

It is secretly abetted by the priests, and even the king, who fears it, is a member. This society is ruled by religious fanatics, to whom murder is simply a pastime. The Order of the Blue Nile has command of almost untold riches. “I incurred the anger of these men, and they have sent right here to this country some of their members, I know not how many, to strike me down.” “You have not said a single word about this Ajeeb,” remarked the detective. “He is in New York.” THE GREAT GREEN DIAMOND BY INSPECTOR STARK “Is he any more to be feared than the others?” asked Burt. “Ajeeb is the head of the society,” replied the traveler. “You have seen him?” “How else would I know that he is in this city? He visited me this morning.” “Did he threaten you?” A sad smile passed over the face of the man who had so often faced death in many forms. “No,” he replied, “it was not necessary to threaten me; I know what his pursuit of me means.” “Tell me all about it, and then I may discover a way to circumvent your enemies.” “First, I wish you to promise not to disclose any revelations I shall make now or at any other time.” THE GREAT GREEN DIAMOND BY INSPECTOR STARK
