DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is the first story about Loco Dog, short for Locomotive. He lived in a small, dusty Southwestern town in the depot with the rail yard yardman. The rail yard was always gritty, and sometimes dust devils swirled through it. One wild and windy spring evening, a huge, powerful dust devil forever changed the lives of a young boy and everyone who loved the rail yard and its big black dog. This beloved title is now re-issued in an expanded version, with an added 16-page history section about the railroads that came into the Santa Fe Rail Yard, past and present. The history section will include historical black and white photographs as well as contemporary color ones showing the current railroads operating out of the rail yard.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Wasn't that the whole point of being alive? ... To ask the right questions, not just as a journalist but as a human being? To not just examine other people's dark, cold, self-hating, contradictory, disconnected places, but to examine one's own, given that this was possibly the most uncomfortable inquiry one could ever undertake? ... not to rush to one position or another, but to allow disparate ideas to co-exist, within ourselves and within others. To begin to know oneself, and to begin to know that we don't know. More than a decade ago, journalist David Leser started writing a biography of his famous father, legendary magazine publisher, Bernard Leser. But David couldn't finish the project because he didn't want to employ his investigative and forensic feature writer's skills to unmask his father - to do so seemed utterly at odds with his desire to be the loving son he wanted to be. But freed from the obligation of having to think of his father as a book project, David started seeing him as a man, as both a son and a father, as someone loved and familiar but also flawed and unknowable. And the harder he looked at his father, the more he saw himself and how his own life had been lived both in tribute to and rebellion from the legacy of his father. A lyrical, deeply moving and searingly honest memoir of two men, father and son, and their shared truths and burdens, To Begin to Know is a story of love and forgiveness, of acceptance and hope. It goes to the heart of a family - the hearts of all families - and asks questions crucial to us all.
