From Rome to Winterland to America's heartland, Greg Kihn has played just about everywhere. He spent his early years in... More > Baltimore, then moved to California where he made his fortune. Since then he's seen more ups and downs than an elevator in a skyscraper, and he hasn't missed a trick. For the past decade Greg's been the most popular morning DJ in the Bay Area. Recently his show's been syndicated in a dozen other cities. It all adds up to a unique view of our crazy world, and that's captured in The Greg Kihn Almanac. Here's his guide to everything from the Solar System to a tiny neighborhood in Baltimore. Filled with statistics, stories, and the memories of a truly great career, this book will be a welcome addition to any coffee table, car seat, or bathroom. < Less

This is the updated Roland Park Almanac, the perfect gift for anyone with any connection to our neighborhood. It's available... More > here at Lulu, but if you live nearby you should buy it at Gundy's Gifts on Deepdene Road. It covers everything from food to the universe, but stays firmly grounded in Roland Park throughout. Here you'll find the 1899 U.S. Open (played at the Baltimore Country Club- one more argument for saving that site), and an interview with Julie Johnson, manager of our spanking new, 82-year-old library. Roland Park schools, stores and restaurants are here, along with lively looks at the world around us. A reference book no Roland Parker should miss! < Less

What happens in 1939 when a phallus-shaped space ship lands in the middle of The World of Tomorrow at New York's Flushing... More > Meadows? Shouldn't the answer come from any one of the hundred humans called to meet with the Aliens? But none of those hundred will talk. After just a few weeks the ship leaves, not to be seen again for a century. What happens in that century is the subject of "It Came Out of the Sky," the third, and final book in the satiric trilogy, "The Conspiracy Theory of History." < Less

Who runs the country? Who runs the world? Who controls history? Does it even matter? Is history really just one more form of... More > amnesia? Are those who learn its lessons doomed to repeat them?
This trilogy of 3-books-in-1 has all the answers. "Hobson's Choice" explores the absent-mindedness of history. "Pandora's Canary" asks: who's in charge here? "It Came Out of the Sky" wonders: Does it really matter?
These three tales put the "story" in "history." They combine into a twisted satire of who we are, and who we think we are. As rocker/DJ/novelist, Greg Kihn says: "Heyrman writes prose the way Tiger Woods swings a golf club, with effortless grace, yet full of power." < Less

Is history really just one more form of amnesia? "Hobson's Choice" explores absent-minded history through a biography of a... More > famous man that nobody knows. He’s a soldier, statesman, businessman and movie mogul. He has the respect of the world, yet no one knows quite what to make of him.
"Hobson's Choice" is the first book in the trilogy, "The Conspiracy Theory of History." It precedes "Pandora's Canary," which asks who runs things in this world, probing the hidden corners of an affluent Baltimore neighborhood to find out. The third book, "It Came Out of the Sky" wonders: does it really matter?
