Adventures of a Coda
Come with me on a journey into my past that is beyond the experience of most individuals.Glimpse the wonder of living in two worlds, the Deaf World of perpetual silence, and the Hearing World of perpetual sounds. Meet my Deaf parents and their Deaf friends whose lives testify to courageous living as they find their way in the Hearing World. Be amazed at my unique CODA experiences that explain why my Deaf friends affectionately christened me "Half-Hearing and Half-Deaf."Expand your worldview as you witness incredible events that, in turn, amuse and astound, impress and inform, disturb and displease.Be forewarned that this journey may leave its mark. It did so for me. As someone who has lived in both the Hearing World and the Deaf World, I still learned a great deal and smiled all the way through this wonderful memoire. Whether or not you know anything about deafness or deaf people, I recommend you read this story. You will be very glad you did. -I. King Jordan, President Emeritus, Gallaudet University Ruth A. Reppert taught in the Illinois public schools for twenty-four years and then began a career in deafness as a nationally certified sign language interpreter, sign language instructor, and the assistant director of the Deaf Service Center of Broward County, Florida. In that role, she established the Community Education of Deafness program at Nova Southeastern University and the first state-approved continuing education course for nurses, Serving Deaf Patients. Ruth lives in Vero Beach, Florida with her husband, Bob, enjoying the sun and the surf."

The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones
Stanley Booth, a member of the Rolling Stones' inner circle, met the band just a few months before Brian Jones drowned in a swimming pool in 1968. He lived with them throughout their 1969 American tour, staying up all night together listening to blues, talking about music, ingesting drugs, and consorting with groupies. His thrilling account culminates with their final concert at Altamont Speedway--a nightmare of beating, stabbing, and killing that would signal the end of a generation's dreams of peace and freedom. But while this book renders in fine detail the entire history of the Stones, paying special attention to the tragedy of Brian Jones, it is about much more than a writer and a rock band. It has been called--by Harold Brodkey and Robert Stone, among others--the best book ever written about the sixties. In Booth's new afterword, he finally explains why it took him 15 years to write the book, relating an astonishing story of drugs, jails, and disasters.
