Very Good Read

Heart and Soul of the Train by Mauris Emeka is a delightful little book for train lovers. In it Mauris tells many tales of his adventures and his everyday experiences in his decades as a train attendant dealing with the public and loving his job. He describes many rides across the United States. He has authored another excellent book telling how almost anyone who can observe a careful diet can prevent or cure cancer. These cures have been know since the early 1900's but are not money-makers for the businesses who are supported by cancer. Everyone should read Fear Cancer No More.

The heart of Amtraking

Read a personal account of an Amtrak employee. As he traveled across the country making beds and doing his many other tasks, he took time to talk to passengers. His stories are inspirational and personal. The final chapter briefly gives guidelines to help the traveler enjoy his/her trip. I look forward to traveling with attendants and employees who care for their passengers as he does. This is an interesting read for people who are looking forward to train travel or have returned from a trip.
