I Almost Cancelled
"Challenging . . . Encouraging . . . Inspiring." -Kim Singletary, Wife of NFL Hall-of-Famer Mike Singletary and Cohost of Family Tip FridaysHow to wipe out self-doubt and step out with confidenceThere has to be more. Something inside you knows there is. Then you second guess everything.What if I ask for what I want . . . and the answer is no?What if I try something new . . . and end up making a fool of myself?Am I selfish? Should I just be happy with what I have?Am I living the life God intended for me?Jessica Bettencourt knows what it's like to face rejection, feel like she doesn't belong, and second-guess big decisions. But she also knows that we have to face fear and risk failure to live out our calling.Raised in Tennessee, she was exposed to financial insecurity and hardships at an early age. She attended six different elementary schools before the age of ten, was on her own financially at eighteen and attended seven colleges to earn her bachelor's degree. But through self-belief, grit, and persistent action when fear told her to stay home, Jessica continued to show up. She has become a two-time multi-million-dollar entrepreneur, an empowering speaker, and a sought-after coach. She has inspired tens of thousands to embrace their God-given gifts, push their fears aside, and take the next step towards a better future . . . and the next one!In I Almost Cancelled, Jessica shares how one scary decision after another led to a life she couldn't even imagine. Her storytelling and southern charm will have you laughing at times and crying at others. She shows you step by step how to overcome self-doubt and build the life you've always wanted-not the life others tell you to want. She dispels the myth of goals, shows how to embrace imbalance over the much sought-after work-life balance, teaches mindset over skill set, and explains why obstacles are always opportunities. The book lays a clear path to get out of your own head and show up for the next chapter of life, whether that's getting back into the workforce, improving your health, starting a business, adopting a child, or serving your community.

The first history of the US Travel Bureau, which set the precedent for federal involvement in promoting tourism and travel, an activity which continues today.Created in 1937 by Interior Secretary Harold Ickes and given formal status by Congress in 1940, the US Travel Bureau played a seminal role by setting the precedent for federal involvement in tourism. Business, otherwise hostile to FDR's New Deal, enthusiastically supported its work and Roosevelt, who significantly expanded the National Park system, saw increased tourism as a means to increase attendance, bolster economic activity, and counteract the Great Depression. The Bureau developed unusually extensive public relations and marketing programs that attempted to persuade citizens to travel more. The Travel Bureau also quietly engaged in vigorous marketing to encourage African Americans to travel, including sponsoring the 1940 and 1941 editions of the Green Book, the travel guide for African Americans facing segregated restaurants and lodging. Eventually, travel promotion was transferred to the Commerce Department by Congress and President Nixon with a federal surtax to fund it and where it continues today.

With a Good Heart
Twenty-five years after an epiphany in a barbershop, Tom Griffen finally began his walk across America. Lugging a heavy backpack and wearing a fresh pair of running shoes, Tom urgently dipped his hands into the Pacific Ocean, bid farewell to loved ones, then began an eastbound journey toward the opposite coast. Tom's reasons for walking were largely unclear, but he was sure of one thing-he couldn't wait for the chance to tell people he had walked all the way across the continent. Tom's plans, however, were thwarted by a sidelining injury that spiraled him into an abyss of self-doubt. Until one day he recalled an interaction with a man he met weeks earlier at a California crosswalk. This memory inspired Tom to reframe why he was walking in the first place. TOM GRIFFEN is a writer, artist, and leadership consultant. He is the author of the Imagine the Sea, a companion collection of poems written while ambling across America. He lives in Spokane, Washington. For speaking and reading engagements, visit tomgriffen.com.

My Take on All 50 States
Fulltime troublemaker Jim Ford didn't think much about traveling growing up. He was too busy goofing around in his neighborhood and running from the local police. Soon his thirst for adventure and discovering the new fueled him to leave the safety of his small town and set out to become an actor and a stuntman, and to see every state in the process. Things paid off quickly after moving to New York. Not only was Jim snagging lucrative commercials and parts alongside some legends of Film & Television, he was surprisingly filming in a multitude of new and exciting locations. He picked up some rare experiences along the way that include fighting with Colin Ferrell, having a shootout with Tom Cruise, and running around with Justin Timberlake. This is a daring memoir told through an array of unique escapades that all happen in different states. MY TAKE ON ALL FIFTY STATES is an unexpected journey that will entertain you, as well as inspire you to get off the couch, take risks, and try to live every day to the fullest. It's truly a wild ride, filled with humor, love, insight, unapologetic energy, and some really cool stories.
The Limey Project
The Limey Project is an incredible adventure into the heart of America and into the self. Two young Brits plan to challenge themselves and cast off their youthful anxieties by cycling across the country twice; traveling from Seattle to Miami, via San Diego. With paper maps, free from phones, wearing baggy shorts and old tennis shoes, astride overloaded bikes and heading into winter, they naively but eagerly set off. They journey through deserts, mountains and forests, pausing to be drawn into the darker nightlife of the cities. They are harassed by felons, guzzle a gazillion gas station coffees, and their food is stolen by the beasts of the wild. They encounter Hollywood millionaires, homeless dreamers, 103 dead roadside pets, ecosystems on the edge, and an alarmingly large number of people with guns. Access to this diverse, yet intimate, America is afforded only by the extraordinary power of the humble bicycle.They encounter a nation trying to find its identity, at an extraordinary time in its history. As the journey goes on, significant global events unfold with a strange serendipity, and daily experiences take on a surreal nature. When their closest friend becomes an invisible, talking bear they start to worry they are losing their minds. But when the tyres hit the beach after 4,500 miles, they realise it was all real and that they - and the world - will never be the same again.

Historic Hotels and Motels of the Outer Banks
In the mid-1800s, wealthy farmers and businessmen began bringing their families to North Carolina's Outer Banks to escape the blistering inland summer heat.Soon after, the region's first hotel was built with accommodations for 200 guests. By the mid-1900s, hotels such as the Carolinian, the Nags Header, and the Arlington as well as smaller motels and cottage courts like Journey's End, the Sea Foam, and the Cavalier dotted the coastline. Most motels were independent, family-run operations. Many guests returned yearly, reuniting with the motel owners and other visitors. However, by the end of the 20th century, many of these mom-and-pop establishments had become a distant memory, lost to wrecking balls and replaced by large beach houses. This book recalls these hotels and motels and their impact on the Outer Banks and its visitors.Author Elizabeth Ownley Cooper grew up in Nags Head, where her parents owned the Vacationer Motel from 1964 to 2000. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she is a freelance writer and public relations consultant in Suffolk, Virginia. Most of the images in this book are from the Outer Banks History Center as well as private collections.

America’s First Highways
Before the era of the interstate highway, before there was even a Route 66, there were auto trails. For a brief period in the early 20th century, these privately funded roads bridged the gap between the era of the stagecoach turnpike and the age of the federal highway. With names like the Yellowstone Trail, the National Old Trails Road and the famed Lincoln Highway, they offered the newly unshackled American tourist a way to hit the open road - even if that road was dirt or gravel, and you were liable to get lost along the way. The visionaries who built those roads and the carmakers who made it all possible. Did you know Henry Ford once set the land speed record ... on a frozen lake? Or that the National Football League was founded in an auto dealership? Or that the man behind the Lincoln Highway built the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and made Miami Beach a winter resort? You'll read about the first person to drive from coast to coast in an automobile (with a goggle-wearing bulldog) and the around-the-world contest that inspired the movie The Great Race. You'll also find stories of Dwight Eisenhower's 1919 cross-country trip that helped convince him of the need for an interstate highway system; and the auto camping craze that led to the first motels. But most of all, you'll learn about the auto trails themselves: How they came into being, their role in paving the way our federal highways, and their eventual demise. It's all here in a single volume packed with details and more than 200 historic and modern images. America's First Highways is a companion to Yesterday's Highways and Volume II in the America's Historic Highways Series.
Hinterland
Over the last forty years, the human landscape of the United States has been fundamentally transformed. The metamorphosis is partially visible in the ascendance of glittering, coastal hubs for finance, infotech, and the so-called creative class. But this is only the tip of an economic iceberg, the bulk of which lies in the darkness of the declining heartland or on the dimly lit fringe of sprawling cities. This is America's hinterland, populated by towering grain threshers and hunched farmworkers, where laborers drawn from every corner of the world crowd into factories and "fulfillment centers" and where cold storage trailers are filled with fentanyl-bloated corpses when the morgues cannot contain the dead. Urgent and unsparing, this book opens our eyes to America's new heart of darkness. Driven by an ever-expanding socioeconomic crisis, America's class structure is recomposing itself in new geographies of race, poverty, and production. The center has fallen. Riots ricochet from city to city led by no one in particular. Anarchists smash financial centers as a resurgent far right builds power in the countryside. Drawing on his direct experience of recent popular unrest, from the Occupy movement to the wave of riots and blockades that began in Ferguson, Missouri, Phil A. Neel provides a close-up view of this landscape in all its grim but captivating detail. Inaugurating the new Field Notes series, published in association with the Brooklyn Rail, Neel's book tells the intimate story of a life lived within America's hinterland.

All the Agents and Saints, Paperback Edition
After a decade of chasing stories around the globe, intrepid travel writer Stephanie Elizondo Griest followed the magnetic pull home--only to discover that her native South Texas had been radically transformed in her absence. Ravaged by drug wars and barricaded by an eighteen-foot steel wall, her ancestral land had become the nation's foremost crossing ground for undocumented workers, many of whom perished along the way. The frequency of these tragedies seemed like a terrible coincidence until Elizondo Griest moved to the New York-Canada borderlands. Once she began to meet Mohawks from the Akwesasne Nation, she recognized striking parallels to life on the southern border. Having lost their land through devious treaties, their mother tongues at English-only schools, and their traditional occupations through capitalist ventures, Tejanos and Mohawks alike struggle under the legacy of colonialism. Toxic industries surround their neighborhoods, while the U.S. Border Patrol militarizes them. Combating these forces are legions of artists and activists devoted to preserving their indigenous cultures. Complex belief systems, meanwhile, conjure miracles. In All the Agents and Saints, Elizondo Griest weaves seven years of stories into a meditation on the existential impact of international borderlines by illuminating the spaces in between and the people who live there. This edition features a new preface by the author.
