An American Writers Odyssey in the Former Soviet Union, People - Places - Things. 8.75"x5.75", 232 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. In Search of the Russian Bear is not a political book. Instead, it is an intimate glimpse into the minds and hearts of people in Russia and Uzbekistan in middle Asia in 1983 when the USSR was known as "The Iron Curtain" and few Americans were given free rein to meet such a wide variety of people: writers, professors, students, librarians, farm workers, and everyday citizens. There is high humor in this book, as well as heartfelt moments, and it paints vivid pictures of places few American have seen or will see. The descriptions are so real that readers will feel they have been there. There is also much in this book for food lovers to enjoy. The descriptions of food, both Russian and Uzbek, are exceptional. Uzbekistan and bordering countries are much in the news today, and this book will give Americans and others an insight into what kind of people the vast majority of Middle Asia citizens are. This also applies to Russians, who are surprisingly like most Americans. In Search of the Russian Bear is unlike any other book set in Eastern Europe and Middle Asia. It is unique and will take readers on a fascinating journey. It could become a classic of its type. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author.

"On November 11, 1995, at the age of 25, former bull-riding champion Glen "Pee Wee" Mercer suffered an accident while dismounting a bull at the Southeastern Circuit Final at Brighton, Florida, which resulted in a broken neck and severed spinal cord, thus changing his life forever. The Last Ride is the dramatic story of his life both before and after the accident. Although this book cover Pee Wee's rodeo career throughout Florida and many other parts of the United States, it is not just a book about rodeo. It is also the story of young love gone awry, of adventure, high humor, youthful exuberance during those years when young people think they are indestructible, of hopes and dreams of the future and how those hopes and dreams are shattered forever in just one split second of time. This is also a heartfelt story of courage, of the determination to endure in a world few others can even imagine. Sometimes it is a very lonely world indeed, one peopled only with memories. The Last Ride will grip the interest and emotions of all readers, young and old alike. It is much like taking a literary rafting trip down a turbulent mountain stream. You will become part of the action and will be there each step of the way. As co-author Patrick Smith says at the end of this book, Pee Wee Mercer is truly a "Profile in Courage." Pee Wee lives today with his mother and father, Helen and Howard, in their farm house out in the country from Williston, Florida. His spirit still remains intact. About the co-author Patrick D.
