The Battle of Turkey Thicket. This true story describes the curious life and travels of Philip Thomas Hughes, an orphan who sought to escape the comfortable monotony of a mid 20th century life. In recounting Philip’s journeys, we witness the civic evolution of Washington, D.C., Chicago's Skid Row, romance amidst Japan's post-World War II reconstruction, and the chaotic battlefields of the Korean War. The story of Philip and his family is one of spiritual faith that was formed, challenged, and reconstituted through sacrifice. This book reveals the history behind a forgotten memorial, while rescuing the story of Philip Thomas Hughes - and his journeys - from oblivion.

North American Energy Audit Best Practices. This report presents the results of a survey conducted in late 2009 of 15 North American energy audit program coordinators and energy audit experts. It also references three recently published program-specific evaluation reports. Survey respondents represent programs that have collectively provided over 18,000 energy audits of all description. This investigation studies programs that offer energy audits as a means for advancing energy efficiency policy goals. An energy audit is a profile of energy consumption, use, and waste in a building or industrial production process. Energy audits are provided by many utilities and government agencies not only as a service to customers, but as a way to facilitate public policies for waste reduction and pollution prevention. Survey respondents provided valuable lessons learned in the design, promotion, conduct, and evaluation of energy audit programs. This report summarizes those findings with additional comments and analysis by the author.
