    The word odyssey refers to a journey or a trip. An odyssey can be either a literal or figurative journey. It is always a writer’s goal to take his or her audience on a journey. This book is the second edition of Odyssey which is a collection of Meredith Coleman McGee’s writings from 1994 to 2018. The book includes poems, speeches, articles, and a leadership study comparing the leadership styles of Ray Kroc (McDonald’s), Sam Walton (Walmart), and Dave Thomas (Wendy's) with 12 business leaders from the southern United States. I have known Meredith Coleman McGee for over 10 years; our mothers are long-time friends.

She is committed to not only being a creative force herself but also helps others harness their creative energies. She is an active member and supporter of our book club, SANKOFA Reading Group.  Odyssey is inspired in part by her rich family legacy bestowed to her by her maternal great-grandmother, Roxie Hickman Patterson, her maternal uncle, James Meredith (the first African American to attend the University of Mississippi), and her mother, Hazel Meredith Coleman Hall.Odyssey’s poetry is based on family experiences, personal pain, and African American history.

    Ireland is no longer the land of saints and scholars. Now, in an era of prosperity, the sexual scandals surrounding the church have caused its people to lose faith in the one institution that seemed invulnerable. But the decapitation of Father Joyce in a Galway church brings a gasp to the most hardened cynics. Not to Jack Taylor. Emotionally bruised, battered, and still struggling with the demon drink, he’s back in town, trying to get his life on course after the traumatic trauma of personal loss. And it seems that Jack has a job: he’s been asked to investigate the murder of Fr Joyce, but to proceed with caution and discretion; no further scandals must destabilize the Roman Catholic Church. Discretion is not a word Jack understands however, especially when the dead priest has a long history of abusing small boys, and is responsible for a terrible crime …Bleak, unsettling and totally original, Ken Bruen’s writing captures the brooding landscape of Irish society at a time of social and economic upheaval. Here is evidence of an unmistakeable talent in the ascendant. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gerry O'Brien. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhuk/000703/bk_rhuk_000703_sample.mp3.

    Los Angeles Times gang reporter Michael Lyons has just left his favorite downtown saloon when he is shot and wounded on the sidewalk two blocks from City Hall. After the initial shock, fellow reporters put together a betting pool. The bet? "Who Shot Mike?" There are a lot of contenders. When the LAPD's investigation stalls, the Times runs editorials critical of the police. Then, when detectives uncover an audio tape of Lyons talking to a gang member about the benefits of getting shot, they release the tape. The embarrassed newspaper editor fires Lyons, who then sets out on the streets of Southside Los Angeles with a vengeance to find the shooter. When three seemingly unrelated people are murdered on the streets of L.A., Lyons connects them to his own shooting. The tie-in? An imprisoned, notorious gang shot-caller known as Big Evil, who Lyons made famous in a gang profile and whose younger brother is among the victims. But who is doing the killing? ungekürzt.

    Spätestens mit dem WM-Finale 2014 ist Bastian Schweinsteiger zur lebenden deutschen Fußball-Legende aufgestiegen. Sichtlich gezeichnet, mit blutendem Cut unter dem rechten Auge, nach Schlusspfiff im tränenreichen Jubel versunken - das Spiel in Rio de Janeiro war sinnbildlich für den Kämpfer Schweinsteiger und seine wahnsinnig erfolgreiche Karriere.
