Scheme the impossible! Turn your vision into reality! Transform what if into what's next! Discover how to make your ideas work for you with this transformative guide from Stanford University's d.school.

An operator's manual to design thinking.--John Maeda, Vice President of Design and Artificial Intelligence at Microsoft

Possibility is the ability to see something in your imagination and materialize it in real life. You already possess (almost) everything you need to make things happen--Make Possibilities Happen helps you find your way.

Discover tools and strategies for overcoming the hang-ups that prevent you from getting things done or even starting. Learn exercises for building the creative capacity of your brain. Explore ways to build on the momentum of your work so that you can keep going. Award-winning author Grace Hawthorne shares insights, ideas, and activities from the Stanford University d.school courses she teaches, as well as scientific research and entrepreneurial escapades to get you thinking productively toward making possibilities a reality.

It's hard to begin, uncomfortable to not know, natural to question yourself, easy to be impatient, and challenging to swallow setbacks. This book addresses all of these hurdles and walks you through four main stages of turning your idea into reality: SEE (imagine what's to come), START (just begin, this is everything), DO (show up and work), and FINISH (follow through).

You can positively alter your life--and other people's lives--by making the inklings of your imagination real. All you need to do is pick up this book and START.

The Scots-Irish who settled in the North Georgia mountains were--as Margaret Mitchell would say--people with gumption. In Thunder and White Lightning readers meet two families and a host of real-life characters who face the world head-on with a quirky sense of humor and a hankering for adventure.

They find that red clay is only good for two things: corn, which they turn into moonshine to support their families and pay their taxes and dirt tracks, which are perfect for racing hopped-up whiskey cars, stock cars and eventually, for NASCAR.

The characters--real and fictional--are independent, patriotic, fractious, funny and unpredictable, but they are never boring. They outrun revenuers, go to jail, build new stills, laugh and fall in love, fight in WWII, learn that prosperity isn't always easy, bet their future on a second-hand Plymouth and finally take the checkered flag with red dust flying. In other words, it's the Downton Abbey of North Georgia.

Everybody in Lost River has a story of survival, even the dogs.

There are big stories like the Bataan Death March, the Spanish Flu epidemic and POW camps in Georgia.

And small stories like how Inky got his name, how Boot found a home, how the women hornswoggled the men in an election and how a little doohickey saved the town from financial ruin.

Small towns and the people who live in them are tough, resilient, optimistic and sometimes downright funny.

It's only when you learn their back stories that you can appreciate who they really are. Welcome to Lost River.

Set in the early 40s, Crossing the Moss Line is a tragicomedy about slippery choices and unintended consequences reaching from the Geechee community along the Georgia coast to New York City and back. When a practical joke goes wrong, it takes God, the conjure man, a Jewish mother, and an assortment of uniquely Southern characters to set things right again. The tale is told with drama, authentic dialogue, and a touch of slightly wicked humor.

In Waterproof Justice, the world of New Orleans sporting houses and Mafia bosses spills over into the small town of Waterproof causing chaos.
