Forever in My Veins
Emmy Award-winning producer and New York Times bestselling author Lionel Friedberg has spent 50 years making films as diverse as full-length theatrical features and television documentaries. After growing up in South Africa during the troubled era of apartheid he began his career during the dying days of colonialism in Central Africa. He eventually settled in Los Angeles where his work took him to the sound stages of Hollywood and to the most remote regions of the Earth. His career exposed him to the extraordinary wonders of our planet and brought him into close contact with many unforgettable personalities from maverick scientists to politicians, entertainers and people who survived near-death experiences. His observations have taught him that life is far more complex and infinitely stranger than we can imagine. When he was struck by an unexpected life-threatening illness his efforts to find a way to save his life took him back to Africa where he encountered the age-old rituals and powerful healing methods of African shamans. Their mysterious ways have much to teach us and are as relevant today as they were in ancient times.
Summary of Scotty Bowers & Lionel Friedberg's Full Service
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was able to pay my bills and move into a nicer apartment with my girlfriend Betty after I was promoted at the gas station. I never thought about the ex-military personnel office that had been set up in the Crossroads of the World shopping center. #2 Because the gas station was in the heart of Hollywood, many of the rich and famous also stopped by to purchase gas from me. One of them was playwright Jerome Lawrence along with his writing partner Robert E. Lee. #3 I had a very dull life with Betty, and I began seeing other people frequently. One evening at the gas station, I was filling up a customer’s car when he stared at my friends huddled together in a group at the end of the driveway. He couldn’t take his eyes off them. #4 I once helped a friend of mine earn extra money by picking up men. I told him to go with the man, and he would pay him later. The man was a harmless queen who only wanted to suck my friend’s cock.

The wholesome image of America propagated by Hollywood in the 1940s, '50s and '60s is one of the most persistent in popular culture: loving wives, smiling children. But off the set, many of the actors who helped create this image were secretly leading very wild lives, and one man in particular was helping them: Scotty Bowers. At a time when sex outside of marriage was taboo, Scotty built up a reputation as the guy who could discreetly fix you up. Scotty slept with many stars himself, and connected others with his friends. Here, he tells his story for the first time. Scotty came to Hollywood after serving in the Marines in World War II, and began working at a gas station on Hollywood Boulevard. One day, he was approached and picked up by actor Walter Pidgeon, who whisked him off to a friend's villa for the first of many encounters with Hollywood's rich and famous. He developed long-term friendships with stars like Katharine Hepburn and Noel Coward, but he always kept it quiet--until he now provides a lost chapter in the history of the sexual revolution.

Summary of Paul Wallis' ECHOES OF EDEN
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I began to realize that the Bible’s stories of beginnings are in fact far different than what we had always thought. Our ancestors’ origins stories are full of paleocontact. #2 I have spent years researching the subject of ET contact, and I have heard the same song throughout my journey: the gold of ancestral memory follows the same pattern. Those who have the most gold are often quick to rebury it in their own vaults and fortresses. #3 Troy’s grandfather was comforting his parents, who were standing next to two tall, stern-looking men. Troy joined the family circle, and noticed his boots next to his suitcase and backpack, which had been carefully placed together in the opposite corner of the room. #4 Troy is a 13-year-old boy who is sent to the desert to learn the Navajo way of life. He is not the same boy when he returns three months later. His body has changed noticeably, and he has become stronger and leaner.
