The definitive guide to the nation's toughest football conference. The Bible of SEC Football. “I call it the ‘Bible of SEC Football,’” said Warner, the “Professor of Tailgating,” and author of more than twenty tomes. “That’s because Southerner’s don’t think—they feel—and there’s nothing they feel more passionate about than SEC Football on Saturdays in the fall!”“Tailgating and traveling the nation’s toughest conference supporting their team is the pinnacle of the fall cultural phenomenon for SEC football fans. And what exactly is tailgating?It’s a confluence of the reunion of friendships and family, good food, and of course, football: In the South, tailgating, in terms of seeing and being seen—is the sizzle that sells the steak.”Building on previous successful versions, and completely updated, this brand new book contains:-A fascinating history of college football in the South, with links to the Civil War-A history of the Southeastern Conference and its predecessors, the Southern Conference, SIAA-Chapters on each member school (14) Western Division, Eastern Division: a) histories b) traditions c) great players and coaches d) where to shop and golf e) where to eat and drink so you can take over when you get there f) famous/noteworthy alumni g) acquisition of mascots, colors and nicknames h) bail bondsmen and hospitals -A history of the cultural phenomenon, tailgating-14 Cajun tailgating recipes, including “Crimson Tide Seafood Gumbo,” “Jordan-Hare Shrimp and Okra Stew,” “Starkville Shrimp and Corn Soup,” and “Death Valley Crawfish Etouffee’…Warner’s first version of the now, Volume 5, 320-page book ($15.95, paperback) landed him on the History Channel documentary, “Tailgating” with actors Tom Arnold and Jenny McCarthy, where he echoed the fascinating history of College Football in the South, its inextricable links to the Civil War and pontificated on the ever-growing, modern, cultural penchant: tailgating!“This is the first book I wrote, back in 2000. It remains my most successful, to date as a practical guide to history, tradition, legacy and lore.” Warner said, having authored over 20 titles, including “The Wagon to Disaster,” the untold story of HealthSouth, (American Greed/Sixty Minutes) with the former CFO, Aaron Beam, and “Bushwhacked at the Flora-Bama” with the founder of the iconic beach haunt on the Alabama-Florida Line, Joe Gilchrist.

REVIEW: *****FIVE STARS*****Highly Interesting & Informative, November 7, 2013 (Vol. IV)By John Chancellor, "Mentor Coach" (Spring Hill, TN) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 AMAZON REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)If you are a devoted fan of SEC Football, this book will be a wonderful addition to your collection of memorabilia. I think the title does not tell the full story of all that is in this book. Warner has done a marvelous job of collecting interesting facts about the history and traditions of tailgating and has provided some interesting recipes. If that were all there was to the book, it would be a very good book. But Mr. Warner has done much more than talk about the history of tailgating. It gives you a brief history of football, including the formation of the NCAA. I was extremely impressed with the amount of information about each school, the history of their football program and stories of their most notable players and coaches. There are even dining and night life recommendations as well as an accommodation guide for each university. The information about each school is extremely detailed, highly interesting and will save you a lot of research if you plan to visit the schools. It goes far beyond being a Tailgater's Guide.

This an autobiography of my heart transplant. It is informative; it will instruct you on the step by step process of what you will go through for your heart transplant experience. The purpose for this little book is to encourage those who may have already gone through a transplant or to those who may be in the future. I pray that it will lift your spirits and give a greater faith in God.

Do you remember when you were a child swinging on that new swing set that dad had such a hard time putting together? I do, and I had so much fun on this swing set. The children in the neighborhood would come over and play with me on that swing set. We would always try to see how high we could swing. We would pump the chains on the swing, go as high as we could, and jump out and see how far we could fly. We marked our spots and sometimes made a competition out of it. Our swing set had 3 swings, a glider swing (with two seats facing each other) and a slide to the far right. It was so much fun. But, what if your swing set was magic? What if it could take you to different places or become anything you wanted to be? Wouldn’t that be great? Or would it have a price tag? Would there be a catch? How long would it last? My name is Chris and this is my story. I am telling you the story as a grown up now, looking back on the entire incident. We kept the secret of the Magic Swing Set among just a few of us whom we truly trusted: Tony, Mel, Emelie, Vincent, Paula, Debbie, my Aunt Donelda, my mother, Estelle, and of course, dad, Nolan, who built it.

One moment, Brett Dodger’s grandmother is admiring the birthday present she just opened. A moment later, she's gone … vanished without a trace, leaving 12-year-old Brett heart-broken and bewildered. Since Brett's father died in a horrifying accident a couple of years earlier, Grammy has been his rock and his refuge as the rest of his world crumbles away. The sheriff and tracking dogs can’t find a single clue to Grammy's disappearance. It’s up to Brett to figure out what happened to her — a quest that will plunge him into a strange new world where he will encounter a sickly old wizard named Dorg and be drawn into a titanic struggle against the beast known as Stinkfever. This foul-smelling creature holds the fate of the mist-shrouded world known as Brightland in its cruel claws, and Brett suspects the beast is also somehow connected to Grammy’s disappearance. He's desperate to unravel the mystery, but to do so he not only must confront Stinkfever but conquer his inner demons as well.

This is a fictional short story about a boy and his elephant. He grows up near Harare, Zimbabwe, and raises this little elephant. He later builds a sanctuary for elephants and other animals. This little short story not only is fictional but also contains actual facts about elephants, and names and meanings of the Shona language. I hope that you get as much pleasure out of this short story as I have writing it. It may even stir up the urge in you to do some research of your own. I have had a lot of fun doing my own research. Enoy.
