BOOK
I'd Like the World to Buy a Coke: The Life and Leadership of Roberto Goizueta
David Greising
$4.00

About this product:
David Greising's biography of Roberto Goizueta is the story of how Coca-Cola became one of the world's leading brands. The story follows Goizueta, a chemical engineer, who first worked for Coca-Cola in Cuba. After the revolution, Goizueta came to the United States and went on to become the youngest vice-president ever at Coca-Cola. In 1980, Goizueta became president of Coca-Cola and presided over the world's largest soft drink company until his death from lung cancer in 1997.

Greising presents a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at some of the most high-profile business stories that happened during Goizueta's tenure, such as Coca-Cola's purchase and subsequent sale of Columbia Pictures; the disastrous reformulation of the New Coke; how Coca-Cola swept Eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin wall; and Goizueta's dealings in bringing the Olympics to Atlanta in 1996. Compelling and easy-to-read, I'd Like the World to Buy a Coke is a must for those interested in how one company created and marketed a brand like no other.

BOOK
On the Road to Heaven
Coke Newell
$10.95

About this product:
From the author of "Latter Days: A Guided Tour Through Six Billion Years of Mormonism" comes this exuberant and groundbreaking autobiographical novel about the modern Mormon convert experience. Revealing the author's hard-won path to meaning, faith, and forgiveness, "On the Road to Heaven" is a love story about a girl and a guy and their search for heaven-a lotta love, a little heaven, and one heck of a ride in between. In a style reminiscent of and offering homage to Jack Kerouac, "On the Road to Heaven" traces an LSD-to-LDS pilgrimage across the geographic and cultural landscape of two continents in the late twentieth century. From the 1970s hippie heyday of the Colorado mountains to the coca fields of Colombia, it's a journey through Thoreau ascetics, Ram Dass Taoism, and Edward Abbey monkey-wrenching to the mission fields of one of the world's fastest-growing-and most trenchantly conservative-religions. Few stories have ever described a more unusual road to redemption.

Coke Newell
$3.95

About this product:
This is the story of the Latter-day Saints, the story of when God came back to earth and started things over.In person. It may be the most confident message of God in centuries.Written with the non-Latter-day Saint reader firmly in mind, yet free of proselytory pretense, Latter Days goes right to the mind and heart of this religion, exploring an utterly unique catalogue of Christian doctrine regarding the purpose of human existence and destiny.It gives the Mormon story of the creation of this world and lays out what Mormons believe is the divine plan for mankind, from Adam to Noah to Christ to Joseph Smith to Brigham Young.It relates the astonishing story of their great Exodus, as they were driven from the supposedly civilized United States to the wilderness of the Salt Lake-a truly remarkable story that most of us were not taught in our high school history books.AUTHORBIO: A convert in his late teens to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Coke Newell graduated from the journalism program at Colorado State University. For most of a decade a media spokesman for the LDS Church in Salt Lake City, Utah, he has authored or contributed to a number of books and periodicals and has been quoted extensively on Church policy, history and doctrine.

BOOK
The Governors' Stake: The Parallel Lives of Two Texas Governors: Richard Coke and Lawrence Sullivan Ross
Dede Weldon Casad
$18.59

About this product:
I highly recommend this book. With insightful commentary and meticulous research and analysis, historian Dede Casad has brought to life the tale of two heroic and extraordinary men, Richard Coke and Sullivan Ross. These men deserve far more attention than mere footnotes in state history, and the book will tell you why. Both men were from Waco,Texas during the early years when law and order was a matter of personal involvement and survival dependent upon almost daily self-defense. Coke was born to an aristocratic Virginia family and was educated in law at William and Mary College. He came to Waco in 1849 as a young man of twenty with his law books strapped to his horse. Sullivan Ross' family brought him to Waco as an infant in 1838, and he survived his childhood in the dangers of frontier life mostly by his wits and shear determination. Both Coke and Ross fought in the Civil War and each eventually became Governor of Texas.

Sullivan Ross (Sul) emerges perhaps as the more colorful, and certainly the more romatic, hero of the two men thanks in part to the survival of the letters he wrote to his young bride while he was away fighting in the Civil War. He entered the war as a private in 1861 and came out four years later a General at the age of twenty-seven. Reading details of Sul's battels, exploits and leadership, one is reminded of Ken Burns' now classic documentary of the Civil War. What Burns did with old pictures and voice over, Casad does with her writing - bringing to life the vivid images of the horror of the Civil War.

Sul Ross was a small, wiry man. Richard Coke was the opposite, six-foot three and at least 240 pounds. And yet, Coke's most meaningful battles were fought were words. While Coke also distinguished himself during the war, it was the bravery he displayed after winning the race for governor in 1873 that demonstated his mettle. It was a bitter campaign, somtimes illegal and not without down right fraud. The incumbent governor refused to turn over power and hundreds of Coke supporters poured into Austin, well armed and ready to fight. The story of the siege and taking of the Capitol reads better than a Hollywood script and serves as historic warning that the transition of power is not guaranteed to be peacful. While some may scoff at the notion, the events in Austin in 1873 are a cautionary reminder of what could have happened in the last presidential election between Gore and Bush when the vote count was in doubt. Other parallels with issues of today can be found in the challenges faced by Coke and Ross.

It you like history or just a darn good read, get this book.
