The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Kansas City Chiefs (The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly) What fans don’t love to relive the good times of their favorite team? Likewise, in a twisted sort of way, what fans can really resist a self-pitying look back on some of those times that tested their allegiance? Those forgettable games, seasons, and plays that made the good times even better? The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly presents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the Kansas City Chiefs. It also unmasks, but doesn’t revel in, the bad, the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly. In entertaining—and unsparing—fashion, this book sparkles with Chiefs highlights, lowlights, wonderful and wacky memories, legends and goats, the famous and the infamous. You’ll relive the upset win over Minnesota in Super Bowl IV but also the Dolphins Garo Yepremian’s last-second field on Christmas Day to beat the Chiefs in the longest NFL game ever played. The pinpoint passing of the masterful Len Dawson but also the erratic and sometimes depressing play of the late 80s Chiefs. The Good, the Bad, the Ugly includes the best and worst Chiefs teams and players of all time, the most clutch performances and performers, the biggest choke jobs and chokers, great comebacks and blown leads, plus overrated and underrated Chiefs players and coaches. There are Chiefs you loved for all the right reasons, and those you couldn’t stand, sublime and embarrassing records, and trades, both savvy and savagely bad. Brawls and fights. Rivalries. Compelling photos. And much, much more. If you’re a through-thick-and-thin Chiefs fan, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is especially for you. It will remind you of the good and great times and bring a knowing smile about some of those other times, when you proved to yourself just how loyal you are. For everyone else, this warts-and-all portrait of the Chiefs will provide countless fond memories, goose bumps, and laughs.

This route, Missouri's segment of the Lincoln Highway, bisects the state, exploring the two major metropolitan areas on the east and west end as well as the rural central communities and the state capital of Jefferson City.

Slow Travels-Missouri This installment in the Slow Travels Series explores four of the U.S. Highways as they travel through varied regions of the State of Missouri. U.S. Highway 50 follows the route of the Lincoln Highway through the center of the state, connecting the two largest cities, St. Louis and Kansas City, through the state capital of Jefferson City. U.S. Highway 61 follows the great river, the Mississippi, along the eastern edge of the state. This area includes the territory fought over by the colonial powers of France, Spain, and Great Britain, and the varied settlements which consequently developed. U.S. Highway 66 retraces the Mother Road, also referred to as America’s Main Street and Route 66. This route travels a northeast to southwest path, once named the Old Wire Road for the early telegraph line which connected St. Louis to Springfield and Joplin. U.S. Highway 71 travels the western edge of the state through the violent history of the Civil War, fought mainly between civilian forces of Missouri and Kansas. Missouri’s history has been defined by its varied geography (the height of the Ozarks to the bottoms of the Mississippi) and by the diverse ethnic backgrounds of its settlers.

A.D. From the streets of a Midwest city to the dusty, fetid paths of ancient Jerusalem, a conspiracy unfolds that could forever change the world - and the past. Retired U.S. Army Major David Speer finds himself in a race against - and through - time to stop it while he leads the most daring and important rescue mission in history.
Consumed by guilt over an unspeakable act of violence he was forced to commit during the Iraq war, David is obsessed with finding forgiveness in the dark loneliness of the confessional of his boyhood Catholic Church.
This obsession has made him vulnerable to the machinations of one of the country's wealthiest men, M. Clifton Prather.
Prather has recruited David to lead a mission that he says will bring David the solace he so desperately seeks and at the same time will bring peace to the world.
Prather does not tell David that if successful, the mission will allow Prather and a cabal of powerful business, government and religious leaders to finalize their plans. Prather's loyal chief of security will stop at nothing, including murder, to see that the group's plot will come to fruition. This conspiracy will bring the plotters untold power and will change the world forever.

Max's Kansas City: Art, Glamour, Rock and Roll

At no other time in history has there been a more exciting collision of art, music, and fashion than at Max’s Kansas City from the 1960s to the early 80s. Max’s was the place where you could stare at Andy Warhol, argue about art with Willem de Kooning or John Chamberlain, discuss literature with William S. Burroughs, and get a record deal just by showing up. If downstairs the artists were paying their tabs with original art, upstairs was home to the iconoclastic New York music scene, with performances by Max’s house band, the Velvet Underground; the irreverent New York Dolls; and undiscovered musicians such as Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, Blondie, Iggy Pop, and Madonna.

 

A luminous collection of photographs that captures the exuberance and decadence of the coolest club of all time, as well as essays by Lou Reed, Lenny Kaye, Danny Fields, and Steven Watson, Max’s Kansas City is a stun­ning souvenir of one of New York City’s most important cultural landmarks.

Praise for Max's Kansas City:

"a raucous photo book with reminiscences of the club" --The New York Times 

"a brilliant photographic tribute to New York City's hippest hangout, long regarded the crossroads of music and fashion" --Harper's Bazaar

Paris of the Plains: Kansas City from Doughboys to Expressways (MO) From the end of the Great War to the final years of the 1950s, Kansas Citians lived in a manner worthy of a place called Paris of the Plains. The title did more than nod to the perfumed ladies who shopped at Harzfeld's Parisian or the one-thousand-foot television antenna nicknamed the "Eye-full Tower." It spoke to the character of a town that worked for Boss Tom and danced for Count Basie but transcended both the Pendergast era and the Jazz Age. Author John Simonson introduces readers to a town of vaudeville shows and screened-in porches, where fleets of cream-and-black streetcars passed beneath a canopy of elms. This is a history that smells equally of lilacs and stockyards and bursts with the clamor of gunshots, radio baseball and the distant whistle of a night train.

Images of Kansas City

With more than 120 color photographs, Images of Kansas City provides an exquisite view of one of the country's most desirable places to live. This outstanding collection showcases the many landmarks and scenes associated with Kansas City: Country Club Plaza, with its beautiful fountains and statues; two great sports teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals; buildings such as the Power & Light Building, the H. Roe Bartle Exhibition Hall, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art; events at the American Royal arena; and, of course, views of Kansas City's magnificent skyline.

The images in this book were chosen from hundreds of photos submitted to William Mills by both professional and amateur photographers from Kansas City and the surrounding area. Because the contest had few restrictions about subject matter, the photos included demonstrate a wide sampling of photographic approaches and techniques, rendering an excellent portrayal of this vital city.

In his introduction, William Mills provides important historical data on the background and development of Kansas City, touching briefly on the special people and features that have made Kansas City the thriving city that it is today.
