Kurt Haas was born in Mainz, Germany in 1911. In 1939, he was swept into World War II. Kurt thanks God that during the next six years he never fired or received a shot. In 1945 he was captured by the Russians, miraculously escaped, and made it to the American lines. Kurt spent the lean post war years first dreaming about, and then planning to emigrate to America.In 1954, speaking virtually no English, Kurt arrived with his wife and two young children in Philadelphia. Surprises came often as the family worked to survive, learn English, and adapt to American ways.Why America? is Kurt?s story, in Kurt?s own words of his dream, his journey and his family?s adoption of America.Kurt, now a spry 97 years old, lives with his wife, Gertrud in Yountville, California.

"Where would you like to be five years from now?" Dr. B. asks. "Nowhere," America answers. By age fifteen, America has already been nowhere. Been nobody. Separated from his foster mother, Mrs. Harper. A runaway living for weeks in a mall, then for months in Central Park. A patient at Applegate, the residential treatment facility north of New York City. And now at Ridgeway, a hospital. America is a boy, he thinks to himself, who gets lost easy and is not worth the trouble of finding. But Dr. B. takes the trouble. With abiding care, he nudges America's story from him. An against-the-odds story about America's shattered past with his mother and brothers. About Browning, a man in Mrs. Harper's house who saves America, then betrays him. About a bighearted, hardheaded girl named Liza, and Ty and Fish and Wick and Marshall and Ernie and Tom and Dr. B. himself who care more than America does about whether he lives or dies.

In words and pictures, this is a salute to our great country, the land of freedom for us and for people all over the world. In her poetic text, Louise Borden evokes with bold strokes many aspects of our nation -- its farmlands, its prairies, its cattle country, its cities, its rivers, and the many kinds of people who live and work here. Mountains and deserts, waterfalls and beaches -- each of our states has special things to see and enjoy. And all over this country, our flag flies, with fifty stars for our current fifty states and thirteen broad stripes for our original thirteen colonies. A few years ago, Louise Borden spoke to a group of schoolchildren in a library in Birmingham, England. When she finished, the very first question was, "What's it like to live in America?" This book is her answer. Readers of all ages will join in this salute to the place we call home, celebrated here in a simple, inspiring text and in lovely, atmospheric, full-color pictures.

"Craft In America" promotes and advances original handcrafted work and inspires people of all ages to pursue their own creativity. Family explores the creative environments and personal dynamics of four families of craft artists and asks: Is talent inherited? What is it like to live in a household where objects are made by hand? President Jimmy Carter shares stories of Ed Moulthrop, a fellow Georgian who was known as the "father of modern woodturning." Meet Ed's son Philip and grandson Matt, who both carry on the family tradition. Paul Marioni creates sculptural and kinetic glass forms that explore concepts of human nature. Paul's son Dante, a world renowned glass sculptor, has a design style almost diametrically opposed to his father's; while Paul's daughter Marina, a jewelry artist, plays with form and meaning, just as her father's sculptures often play with visual puns. Cliff and Holly Lee live and work together, showing their two sons the challenges and joys of being self-employed artists. Cliff combines traditional Chinese techniques with his own innovative methods to create intricate porcelain vessels and metal artist Holly brings her abiding respect for nature to her work as she often creates a sense of light passing through space. Lisa Sorrell designs and creates exquisitely crafted custom cowboy boots, one of a very few women in this field. Meet her two teenage daughters, inspired to follow in her footsteps, who are becoming artists in their own right. Subtitles: English (Closed Captioned).

Bernard Goldberg takes dead aim at the America Bashers (the cultural elites who look down their snobby noses at "ordinary" Americans and detest so much of what this country is about)...the Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly ditzy celebrities who think they're smart just because they're famous)...the TV Schlockmeisters (including the one whose show has been compared to a churning mass of maggots devouring rotten meat)...the Intellectual Thugs (big-wigs at some of our best colleges, whose views run the gamut from left-wing to far left-wing)...and many more. Goldberg names names, profiling the villains in his rogues' gallery, one by one, from 100 down to 1 -- and yes, you-know-who is #37. But Goldberg doesn't just round up the usual suspects we have come to know and detest. He also exposes some of the people who operate away from the limelight but still manage to pull a lot of strings and do all sorts of harm to our culture. 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America is about a country where as long as anything goes, sooner or later everything will go.
