Edward R. Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast Journalism
"Get it, read it, and pass it on." —Bill Moyers "Most Americans living today never heard Ed Murrow in a live broadcast. This book is for them I want them to know that broadcast journalism was established by someone with the highest standards. Tabloid crime stories, so much a part of the lust for ratings by today's news broadcasters, held no interest for Murrow.

I offer it in the hope that more people in and out of the news business will get to know Ed Murrow. Perhaps in time the descent from Murrow's principles can be reversed." —Bob Edwards
Let There Be Life
The authorized biography of Sir Robert Edwards, a coal miner's son who pioneered in vitro fertilization for infertility, embryonic stem cell research for regenerative medicine, and the medical ethics of embryology (Nobel Prize, 2010).

Irresponsible Freaks, Highball Guzzlers & Unabashed Grafters
Bob Edwards, the Great White North's equivalent to H. L. Mencken, remains a singular figure in Canadian journalism.

As editor James Martin points out in his illuminating introduction, Bob Edwards seems more modern the farther back in history he recedes; he was the granddaddy of Gonzo Journalism à la Hunter S. Thompson, a freewheeling cultural critic in the spirit of Lester Bangs, a pioneer of satirical reform as evidenced in Frank magazine, and a ...

The Book of Bob
Book I in this four-part series is the tale of an accident born out of brilliance. Prepare to be taken on a journey vanquishing all previous concepts of time travel and the paradoxes long associated with it.When Aaron Hodges is abruptly pulled from his timeline into the future, his only hope for answers lies with Robert Anderson Mandic, AKA Bob, a brilliant physicist suffering from Asperger's. Having inadvertently uncovered a layer of physical existence that goes far beyond our understanding of DNA, subatomic particles and even smaller, Bob exposes Aaron to a world he never imagined. Bob's discovery, the Godscript, defines our lives, our universe and our very reality--and is Aaron's only chance to save the woman he loves.
