As my husband and I travel throughout the United States, I started noticing the American Flag. I believe it is one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever created. I am so proud to be an American and to live in a country where we are free. As you look through these pictures, I hope you enjoy them and perhaps one of them is in your city or state. Even though I have not traveled to every state, I tried to capture one in the many I have traveled. There may be some that I have the wrong city but I hope I have gotten them right for the most part. I am an amateur at taking pictures! Many were taken inside our vehicle as we drove through the towns. Please forgive me for the ones not so focused. I hope to do another book as we continue to travel to new places and get more pictures. Thank you, KP

VISITORS TO THE PAST is not intended to give you a detailed map to the places featured within its pages, or give you suggestions to the best local cafes, shops or other “trendy” treats. The focus of this book is altogether different. The author wants you to step into the past, to meet the people associated with the monument you are visiting, and to see it in the context of the history of its time. Escaping the hustle and bustle of Rome to drive up the Via Nomentana to the Mausoleum of Santa Costanza, or winding one’s way through the verdant fields of France’s Loire Valley to Germigny-des-Prés, the tourist is rewarded with exploring treasures of the past enjoyed in a tranquil setting. All quite satisfying and refreshing but not the whole tale. Behind the calm of today lie the turbulent passions of the past—love, hatred, jealousy, envy, and all the emotions we know so well. The Mausolem of Santa Costanza, daughter of Constantine the Great (the first Christian Roman emperor), a woman born in a world of conflicting ambitions, vicious family feuds, betrayal and murder, may have been planned as a quiescent resting place for the dead. However, around it swirl the anything but tranquil realities of its time. Germigny-des-Prés was envisioned as a place of peace for a man of God. Yet the challenges of the time—intellectual, spiritual, and physical, never strayed far from the door. And so it goes. The five sites chosen for this book have great merits as seen today. But visitors to the past will find that this is only part of the story. So enjoy these experiences in the company of the historical figures abounding the pages of this book. Perhaps some knowledge of the past, of its people and events, will bring additional insight into the present. At the very least, your “visits” should provide you with more than a checkmark to indicate that you’ve been there on your busy itinerary.

The book summarizes the vision and mission of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and his strategies for moving Ghana from a third world country to a first world by the shortest possible means. It also looks at the economic repercussions of his overthrow. It contains all the major infrastructural developments covering air, road, rail, sea transport, as well as telecommunication and major projects covering agriculture, industry, and the factors that led to their failure. Conditions that compelled him to introduce the PDA (Preventi ve Detenti on Act), as witnessed by the author, as well as those conditions that led to the overthrow of the Busia government. It examines the contribution of the private sector to poverty reduction as well as the dynamics of wealth creation in the twenty-first century. It proves that the poverty gap is a technology gap and suggests the establishment of a machine tool center to create capacity for machine building. It also suggests strategies including the use of the input/output matrix and the upgrade of scientific institutions as trainer of trainees in a national development agenda with quantifiable targets. It also defines the special attributes of the kind of leader required to take Ghana, and possibly Africa, out of its self-imposed poverty.

A Badge & A Dream in the Combat Zone Many are the students who will try to get the job of their dreams, but few of them will ever succeed to graduate with honor to become the most popular teacher in the oldest institution of higher education in the United States, specially if the student will have to bear “A badge & A Dream in the Combat Zone.” John Patrick Murphy was one of these students. He was born downtown Tucson, a few blocks from the University of Arizona where both of his parents were working as teachers. In 1971, John lost both parents to a car accident, and at the age of 19, he become the father of his two younger brothers and a sister. after a struggle to stay together, the children who had no relatives to claim them ended up at an orphanage. John Murphy moved to Boston to live with the only relatives he had from his mother’s side of the family who were immigrants from Italy. Unable to support his way through college without a job, John Murphy joined the Army and he was assigned to an armada of helicopter gunships that was mainly doing rescue work. After three years in Vietnam, he was himself wounded while rescuing a wounded soldier in battle. From that point, the Army felt that he was not fit for any more combat duties, and in his post service, they helped the sergeant to pursue his father’s dream. Unfortunately, the ex-sergeant didn’t get far with his impossible dream as it took lots of money as well as several years of intense study to qualify as an economic teacher at Harvard University. After failing all these efforts, the ex-sergeant followed up the example of other veterans who had found good jobs in the police force. At age of 24, John Murphy had become a police officer at the time when the US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of busing to end school segregation. The instability of the educational system made Boston to become a leading voice across the nation to protest against the decision made by the Supreme Court of the United States. Parents were refusing to send their kids to school, and hundreds of violent high school teenagers were unleashed in the Streets of Boston, creating numerous crimes in broad day light. Many of these young offenders were protected both by their age as well as by their parents who had disarmed any efforts by the police officers to bring order and peace in the city. When John Murphy had began his new job as a police officer, Boston had grown up already to be one of the most violent cities in the nation. Nevertheless, officer Murphy kept following his dream, and although he had witnessed numerous dangerous events in war and the states that made him scream in his sleep at night, he remained focused without ever missing a class or any other academic work assigned to him. Officer Murphy’s sense of duty lead him to be a role model trainer at the police academy. But John would not let the fate of his job surrender his father’s dream, which and more importantly an own dean and kept following his destiny with “A Badge & A Dream in the Combat Zone” until the student officer walked through the iron gates of the oldest institution of higher education in the United States to become the most popular teacher of its time. The impossible had become possible as John Patrick Murphy’s dream had crossed its expectation for the one time teenager of less fortune with an unknown destiny had become the next president of Harvard University.

In Great Composers in Watercolor, artist Douglas Lew offers authentic, refreshing, and imaginative portraits of the great composers of seven historical periods. The urge to connect with a famous person’s face and his life is a universal desire. Vivaldi, Handel, Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven are just a few of the many composers Lew highlights in his collection of watercolor paintings, combining a brief history of each musician with a likeness of their face created using minimal brush strokes and inspired colors. With a free flowing, organic, and transparent style, Lew uses the elements of shape, texture, and color to enliven and enrich the rendition. Suitable for a coffee table or as a gift for music and art lovers alike, Great Composers in Watercolor brings to life the faces behind the beautiful music appreciated for centuries. “Doug Lew captures the era and melodic essence of each composer … each work is a historical gem.” —James Riccardo, concert violinist and music director of the Health Sciences Orchestra of the University of Minnesota "Doug's paintings bring these composers to life with the faithfulness all great musicians strive to achieve in performance." —David Herring, bass trombone, Minnesota Orchestra
