Cincinnati in the '50s and '60s offered a stunning array of live music and entertainment venues. Although many of them no longer exist, their memories live on. Fulfilling an obligation to mobsters, blues crooner Charles Brown played a residency at the Sportsman's Club in Newport. Incendiary comedian Lenny Bruce performed at the Surf Club on the city's conservative west side. Jim Tarbell's short-lived but iconic Ludlow Garage became a major stop on the national ballroom circuit that grew up around rock 'n' roll as it matured into its progressive, experimental era. Signaling an end to the '60s, Iggy Pop created a sensation at the 1970 Cincinnati Summer Pop Festival at Crosley Field. Join seasoned journalist Steven Rosen on a tour through historically heady days in the Queen City's music scene.

As a world religion, Hinduism remains one of the most elusive for many.

This book focuses on one of the greatest saint/avataras of all time: Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. This charismatic religious leader popularized song and dance as a yogic science and conveyed teachings as relevant today as they were in his native Bengal some five hundred years ago. This is the story of how his message spread throughout the world.

In 1995, Steven Pressfield introduced the ancient Hindu epic "The Bhagavad-Gita" to a modern audience by restructuring it as a golf novel, "The Legend of Bagger Vance" (now a film directed by Robert Redford). In this book Steven Rosen draws the story out further using 30 years of Gita scholarship.
