In the spring and summer of 1961, several hundred Americans - black and white, male and female - converged on Jackson, Mississippi, to challenge the state segregation laws. The Freedom Riders, as they came to be known, were determined to open up the South to civil rights. Over 300 were arrested and convicted of 'breaching of the peace'. The name, mug shot and other personal details of each arrested Freedom Rider were duly recorded and saved. Collected here is a richly illustrated book book featuring contemporary photos and interviews alongside the mug shots.

In a world that often asks us to consider the things that can separate us...whether that is race, politics or ethnicity...A Peace of My Mind explores the common humanity that unites us. "A Peace of My Mind" is a 120-page book that features the b&w portraits and personal stories of 55 individuals who answer the simple question, "What does peace mean to you?" Since 2009, Noltner has photographed and interviewed Holocaust survivors, refugees, political leaders, artists, homeless individuals, and others, asking them to reveal what peace means to them, how they work towards it in their lives and what obstacles they encounter along the way. The result is a stunning and heart-felt collection that acknowledges the challenges we face as a society, yet builds hope through the inspiring stories of people committed to peaceful tomorrows.

One Peace celebrates the "Power of One," and specifically the accomplishments of children from around the globe who have worked to promote world peace. Janet Wilson challenges today's children to strive to make a difference in this beautifully illustrated, fact-filled and fascinating volume of portraits of many "heroes for today." Canadian Craig Kielburger, who started Free the Children to help victims of child labor at the age of twelve, has been nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize. Farlis Calle, forced to identify the body of a young friend—a victim of her country's civil war—started the Columbia Children's Movement for Peace. At age ten, Kimmie Weeks, a refugee from the Liberian civil war, came within a whisper of being buried in a mass grave. Almost miraculously he survived and vowed to make a difference in the lives of other children. At thirteen he established Voices of the Future, Liberia's first child rights advocacy group. Other portraits feature the accomplishments of children from Sarajevo, Japan, the United Kingdom, Cambodia, Afghanistan and the United States. These moving testaments to the courage and initiative of youth will inspire readers young and old.

Nikola Tesla is a synonymous with the "Man who invented the 21st century." The two are the same person. Nevertheless, about himself he wrote only a short 60-page autobiography, written in his early sixties, which he named "My Inventions." Although he lived another 25 years he never added to his early writings, believing that everything important in his life was over. All his major inventions had been completed by then. What else was there to write about, thought this great man, in his infinite humility? Fortunately, such grand jet humble men leave many disciples behind them to write about them even after they have gone too far away to be seen but still close enough to inspire. "Tesla's Peace Frequency" is a portrait of one of them, a virtuous man named Nikola Tesla. Allegorically, it portraits the very last days of his life in the form of a prayer. In The Name of the Father he encounters his father for the last time. In the Holy Ghost he joins his soror mystica. In Amen he finishes his controversial opus magnum. This short but extremely intense novel consists of deep reflections over humanity and carries with it a great message. Its main aim is increasing human consciousness about distinguishing good from evil as was the main aim of Nikola Tesla's lifelong struggle. One's salvation could only be brought about thru one's own efforts, pointed out Tesla quite rightly, but on the other hand, he was very eager to push humanity towards this simple truth. His disciples follow his path. He was, humanity, Very Truly Yours, but we were too blind to understand that!
