Uncover the real truth behind mass media accounts of how they died and learn the reason for their murders.
These five deaths stopped the whole world in its tracks. We all famously recall where we were and what we were doing when JFK was assassinated, as well as the moments Elvis, Princess Diana, and Michael Jackson died. As for Marilyn Monroe, the candle flickered out long ago, but only now can the truth be told about how--and why--she died.

After combing through thousands of recently declassified FBI files and interviewing key witnesses, crime analysts, and forensic experts during years of research, investigative writer David Gardner has unearthed new information that will transform the way we look at these iconic tragedies that have long fascinated and intrigued the general public. Murder, Lies, and Cover-Ups reveals that Elvis Presley died not as a self-obsessed caricature but as a genuine hero who may have signed his death warrant going undercover for the FBI; how Marilyn Monroe's secret affairs with JFK and his brother, Robert, left her in the crosshairs of a lethal conspiracy; why Princess Diana's death was no accident; who ordered President John F. Kennedy's assassination; and how on three occasions Michael Jackson died of painkiller drug overdoses in the months before his death.

In the wake of new evidence and testimonies, Murder, Lies, and Cover-Ups provides many of the answers that have been elusive for so long, while explaining what it was about these enduring legends that made their legacies burn so bright.

Downforce Guitar: The Easy Way to Play the Guitar Volume 1: Major and Minor Triads and 100 Finger Picking patterns for the Downforce Guitar. This method is different from the traditional style of playing the guitar. The guitar is instead held on the lap facing up towards the player, increasing their view of the body and fretboard of the guitar.This method allows for all five fingers of the left, or top hand to be used as well as increases the distance the player may stretch their fingers. This alone allows for notes and progressions to be played much easier than the standard method. If you have seen the late great blues guitarist, Jeff Healey as well as Thumbs Carllile, you can see the ease at which these greats performed. Downforce Guitar author David Corcoran of Syracuse, NY, being a trained Pianist thought this was the more natural and easier way to hold the guitar as well and this is how he has always played. Never being able to find a book on the method and wanting to share his knowledge with others, opening the world of music as well to others who may not be able to hold the guitar in the normal position, David Corcoran, also known as the boogie man to some because of his flair on the piano and guitar, sat down and put his first volume of Downforce Guitar books to paper to start spreading the word.His work focused on the major and minor triads. You will be able to find all the locations that these chords can be played throughout the neck of the guitar as well as a series of finger picking patters to compliment them in his first volume. Using older computer software and a local copy machine, the black and white folded booklet drew attention of some locals, including the Syracuse Post Standard's Mark Bialczak who wrote an article on David Corcoran's style in the summer of 2009. It was then he was approached by a local marketer, David Gardner, who helped turn his book into a colorful display that had each chord pop out for the viewer. He also set up the Downforce Guitar website to compliment the book which includes videos and tips on the method.David Corcoran continues to play today in and around the Syracuse, NY area and is available for shows and lessons.

David Pierpont Gardner was president of one of the world's most distinguished centers of higher learning--the nine-campus University of California--from 1983 to 1992. In this remarkably candid and lively memoir he provides an insider's account of what it was like for a very private, reflective man to live an extremely public life as leader of one of the most complex and controversial institutions in the country. Earning My Degree is a portrait of uncommon leadership and courage and a chronicle of how these traits shaped a treasured, and sometimes mystifying, American institution.

Before his tenure as president, Gardner spent seven years at the University of California, Santa Barbara, during a tumultuous era of culture wars, ethnic division, and anti-Vietnam War protests, leaving his post as vice chancellor to serve as vice president of the University of California from 1971 to 1973. In 1973 he was named president of the University of Utah, and while there he chaired the National Commission on Excellence in High Education, which authored A Nation at Risk, regarded today as the twentieth century's most telling report on the condition of American public schools. As president of the University of California, he contended with intense controversies over affirmative action, animal rights, AIDS research, weapons labs, divestment in South Africa, and much more. This memoir recounts his experiences with these and other issues and describes his dealings with the diverse cast of characters who influence the university: U.S. presidents, governors, legislators, regents, chancellors, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and donors. The epilogue of Earning My Degree is a thoughtful and engaging account of the ten years since Gardner's retirement that includes his personal views about what has truly mattered in his life.

There's a reason we are drawn to the incredible story of Jamie Vardy's rise from non-league football to become a record-breaking Premier League and England international goalscorer...he's allowed us to dream. In this age of multi-millionaire, Maserati-driving, cosseted footballers, the Leicester City striker is someone we can relate to. He's not so different from the lads we all knew who liked a Saturday night out, worked in a dead-end job and had a talent on the ball that wasted away as age took away any hopes they may have had of playing professionally. The difference is that Vardy did make it against the odds in an historic season with a fairytale team that started out as 5,000-1 underdogs and beat the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal to win the Premier League. Author David Gardner, a senior writer for football.com, goes behind the scenes to reveal the secrets behind Leicester City's miracle season...and how the party started for Jamie Vardy, from the court-imposed electronic tag he used as an ankle guard and his naked training runs all the way to his scoring streak, his WAG wife and his Hollywood future.
