Book Description
Adventures in 86 countries. Intelligence Officer in Germany during the Cold War. Vietnam-era U.S. Army veteran. Diplomat. Corporate President at age 40. Fatherhood. Grief after the death of his wife of 40 years and the death of his son at age 48 when he wrote, “Grief is a temporary insanity that the sane can barely imagine” and finding love again later in life, “I feel lucky that the magic of love could happen at my age and I marvel at the capricious nature of life”. The 85-year old author remembers his life of adventure and personal accomplishment with humor and thought-provoking reflections on life and history. His inquisitive mind and descriptive writing provide an interesting reading experience. This is an adventure story, it is a love story and it is a story of grief and loss. The book-ending “Thoughts of An Old Man” may be pondered long after you have finished reading. Jim McGee is a graduate of UCLA, Wayne State University and Harvard University School of Business. This is his sixth book.

Book Description
In Irish Celtic lore, "thin places" are those locales where the veil between this world and the otherworld is porous, where there is mystery in the landscape. The earth takes on the hue of the sacred among peoples whose connection to place has remained unbroken through the ages. What happens, then, when a Celtic view of nature is brought home to a North American landscape in which many inhabitants' ancestral connections to place are surface-thin? In a quest to find a deeper spiritual landscape in his own home, Kevin Koch applies eight principles of a Celtic spiritual view of nature to places in Ireland and to the American Midwest's rugged Driftless Area, an unglaciated region of river bluffs, rock outcrops, and steeply wooded hills. The Thin Places brings onsite mountaineering guides, spiritual leaders, geologists, and archaeologists alongside scholars in the fields of Celtic studies, religion, and conservation. But the text never strays far from story, from a trek through the Wicklow Mountains and the bogs of Western Ireland or among ancient Native American burial mounds and abandoned nineteenth-century lead mines in the bluffs above the Mississippi River.

Book Description
The author recounts his life growing up in a small California town in the 1940´s, serving in the Army and in the U.S. Foreign Service, on to Harvard University and becoming company President. Along the way he tells delightful and humorous stories about growing up, meeting and wedding the love of his life and his travels in 81 countries. He has exprienced more of the world than most of us and the reader travels with the author as he experiences life and explores our world. His often-adventurous life and his thought-provoking reflections on life and history, on love and grief -- and the powerful epilogue -- provide an interesting reading experience. The author is a gifted writer who conveys the joy -- and the anguish -- of life recounted with humility and gratitude. His other books are: A Journey Through Grief: Notes from a Foreign Country (ISBN: 1-4140-0283-1), A Voice of the Old West: Annie Beatrice McGee (ISBN: 1-4208-2013-3) and A Branch of a Tree: A McGee Family in History (ISBN: 978-1-4275-3126-7).
