I am a Nigerian, NOT a Terrorist
By Toyin Ayeni
The purpose of this book, which started prior to the December 25th, 2009 Christmas Bomber incident, is to put a spotlight on Nigeria, and to celebrate the country's 50th anniversary on October 1st, 2010 with a focus on the positive and what makes it unique. The book will: i. Enlighten the world about Nigeria, providing candid information with more emphasis and focus on the positive and unique aspects about this West African country. ii. Show that the country is a lot more than a producer of terrorists or con-artists, and highlight its potential and hope for a better tomorrow. iii. Show a need and urgency for all human beings to have a sense of curiosity about others, to generate an interest in fellow human beings to ignite the spirit of tolerance. iv. Open our eyes even wider and broaden our view of the face of terrorism in hopes to conquer it very soon. v. Leave a legacy of the Nigerian culture and a better environment for the children than we met it. The book will sensitize you to the fact that no matter what space you occupy here on earth, Nigerian or non-Nigerian, global problems require global solutions and a little effort to make changes by everyone from all nations can go a long way. I also hope that your knowledge and understanding of other cultures, starting with Nigeria, will increase your urge to know more of your surroundings, other human beings around the world, and encouraged to be your brother's keeper as we all fight against terrorism and other world issues.

Hollywood Heat: Untold Stories of 1950's Hollywood
By Steve Rowland
As a member of Hollywood royalty - his dad was film director Roy Rowland, his uncle MGM-founder Louis B. Mayer - Steve Rowland is in an ideal position to kiss and tell about the movie legends of the 1950s, his friends and neighbours in Beverly Hills. As an actor with credits in a dozen classic 1950s pictures and many great TV Westerns, Steve worked alongside many shimmering stars of the motion picture firmament. But he was also a teenage gossip columnist with an insider s access to all that was most hot and happening in Hollywood s golden age. Hollywood Heat contains untold stories about Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando - the kind of stories that only an insider would know. As well as movies and gossip, Steve took a keen interest in both starlets and fast cars, racing his white Corvette with friends James Dean and Steve McQueen in illegal street races on Sunset Strip. About the Author Steve Rowland was born in Hollywood in 1939. His own movie credits include Gun Glory, The Student Prince and Battle of the Bulge. As a teenager, he dated many glamorous starlets, and wrote gossip columns for LA fanzines. He hit the charts as a rock n roll heartthrob, then settled in Swinging Sixties London to create million-selling pop classics for Jerry Lee Lewis, Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich, and, in the 1980s, Boney M, The Cure, and Mel and Kim. As an aficionado of dangerous sports, fast cars and faster women, he may be the last of the famous international playboys.
