Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions
Most of the denizens of the Antarctic penguin colony sneer at Fred, the quiet but observant scout who detects worrying signs that their home, an iceberg, is melting Fred must cleverly convince and enlist key players, such as Louis, the head penguin; Alice, the number two bird; the intractable NoNo the weather expert; and a passle of school-age penguins if he is to save the colony. Their delightfully told journey illuminates in an unforgettable way how to manage the necessary change that surrounds us all. Simple explanatory material following the fable enhances the lasting value of these lessons. Our Iceberg Is Melting is at once charming, accessible and profound; a treat for virtually any reader. .

Airtight Willie & Me
When it comes to "hos" and the men who run them, when it comes to intriguing and super paced rivalry between ambitious pushers and dealers who sell dreams in a blizzard of white powderl, when it comes to knowing the streets, it takes a real player and that palyer is Robert Beck. For more than two decades, Beck, writing as "Iceberg Slim" has fascinated or horrified readers of his books and stories. Beck doesn't create superflies ans superhos; he gives the reader real live people- people with hopes and fears who cough breath and bleed and who have grabbed the only ticket they can find out of misery but the ticket is often a one way trip into hell and suffering. This anthology of stories by Beck is a monument to the courage of the people of the streets. Some of them make it; most dont. Laugh along with them; cry when they cry; hurt when life turns against them..
