"Household Secrets" by Frances Halahan comes as advice from National Trust experts aimed at keeping possessions looking good and devoid of deterioration; ceramics, metals, textiles, furniture, and paper goods are targeted. "It's About Time" is David Mermin's treatise about how Einstein's theory of relativity is accessible to readers without training in the sciences, revealing that some of our most intuitive notions about time are wrong. "Death in the Pot" is Morton Satin's documentation of several culinary mishaps and misdeeds from the ancient world to today, like Athen's contaminated cereals which lead to their defeat in the Peloponnesian War. "Salem Witch Judge" by Eve LaPlante tells the life and repentance of Puritan Samuel Sewall who sent 20 people to death on trumped-up witchcraft charges; this history includes his later very good deeds like authoring the first American antislavery tract, and supporting the education of Native Americans. It's important to note the author is the judge's 6th-great granddaughter. Yasmin Khan's "The Great Partition" is about the supposed blessed division of India in 1947, freeing India from British rule and creating the Muslim state of Pakistan; this brought displacement and death, benefitting a few at the expense of the very many, and the repercussions resound even 60 years later. "The Lost Men" is Kelly Tyler-Lewis' presentation of Sir Ernest Shackleton's harrowing 1914 expedition crossing Antarctica; he "had not anticipated that the work would present any great difficulties". Mildred Kalish's "Little Heathens" is about hard times and high spirits on an Iowa farm during the Great Depression. "The Game Within The Game"" by Walt Frazier shares his keys to success in basketball, his vivid memories, anecdotes, and his controversial opinions. "Getting Open" by Tom Graham and Rachel Graham Cody tells about Bill Garrett and the integration of college basketball. My Life In and Out of a Helmet is the subtitle of "The Bus" by Jerome Bettis who describes his troubled childhood in Detroit on the long road to ten glorious seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. "The Great Expectations School" by Dan Brown reports his first year experiences as a novice teacher of fourth-grade problem cases; he offered help by starting a Visual Arts Club to teach photography and film making. "Falling Forward" by Grammy Award winner Sandi Patty explains her fall from grace, how she got help, and how her life now is happy. It begins, "Moving ahead while being aware of the scrutiny of others is not easy." Davis, Jenkins, and Hunt's "The Bond" is the statement of three Doctors how they learned to forgive and reconnect with their absent fathers.
