A Smell of Africa - Safe in His Arms
By Kuruvilla , Bill
This book is a narration of my own life experiences while I was working in Africa namely, in Zambia, and in Mozambique as an Electrical Engineer in 1970s. Many life-threatening incidents were happening to me in sequence during the period. With a happy and god-fearing mind I faced them all, believing in God's wonderful guidance and care-taking. As neighboring countries, South Africa, and Rhodesia were not independent at that time, guerilla warfare was at its peak. Several such instances have been brought to light in this book.
More over, the ever-enjoyable panorama of African nature and its wildlife is also described to an extent, especially, my visit to a national park called Gorongosa which is a "Living Aden" near Beira, in Mozambique. Thus the book is made more enjoyable to a reader of any age. The book contains over 100 pages

EPA and Superfund, a Small Business Story
By Cox Jr., Robert M.
Robert Cox tells the story of how his successful family business endured good and bad times, but it couldn't survive an ambush from the Environmental Protection Agency. According to EPA, Cox's business, the Gilbert Spruance Company, committed the 'crime' of sending its waste products to legal disposal facilities.
Cox does a good job detailing the real crime: EPA implementation of the federal Superfund law. Superfund was supposed to clean up contaminated property, but has become a small business nightmare, condemning parties unjustly and destroying businesses of honest, hard working Americans. Knowing that he is one among thousands of Americans who suffered under Superfund, Cox offers his story as a desperate plea to lawmakers to finally reform this unjust law.
Behold, the Salesperson
By Cox Jr., Robert M.
With a joltingly informative notebook style, "Behold the Salesperson" seems tailor made for reading in snippets. Topic by topic Bob Cox reveals what it takes to be a GOOD salesperson from dedication to clients to organization.
Much maligned, (the most recent term I heard was "Shovel-Nosed Rat Snake") salespeople actually create commerce and wealth. Think about it - true professionals provide jobs for everybody involved in the design, manufacture, transportation and distribution of the products they sell.
Buyers would be well advised to read "Behold the Salesperson" for a little perspective - professional salespeople always welcome refresher courses and support (after all - how would YOU feel if you got turned down 90% of the time?).

Beyond the 4-D Perspective: The Pegasus Method
By Bailey, Virginia H.
The continuing influx and blending of cultures in the United States has created an alarming trend in our educational system – the exclusion and ignoring of the special needs of children for whom English is a second language. Education’s inability to recognize and incorporate solutions to these needs lay the foundation for problems that begin in the classroom and continue throughout the child’s life, effecting self-esteem and future interest in learning.
In her book, "Beyond the 4-D Perspective: The Pegasus Method," Virginia Hurt Bailey explores how deficit, disability, delay and dysfunction constitute the "4-D Perspective," or the key elements to recognize while teaching those children whose secondary language (and culture) is English. Intended for use by any educator, Bailey’s manual advocates fixing the methods by which these children are taught; changing the teacher’s perspective of the student and presentation can effectively help students overcome their difficulties in learning. Bailey explains specific methods by which educators can learn to overcome the obstacles of teaching culturally diverse students, as she explores how teachers have contributed to the problem of isolating those who are not a part of the mainstream American education system. Included in the manual are diagrams, sample lesson plans, worksheets and more than eighty-two charts and diagrams.
An impressive examination of a growing need within America to approach each child individually and recognize their specific learning needs, "Beyond the 4-D Perspective: The Pegasus Method" is a teacher’s tool that was born of experience teaching multicultural children, but whose lessons apply to everyone.

A Friend Indeed
By Mary Ann Short
The son of a champion Labrador retriever and a mongrel father, Pup is born the runt of his litter. Yet, despite a lesser stature, he owns a big heart and an even mightier spirit.
The humans that deliver him into the world are good and caring people, especially young Katie. Pup prays the child will one day bestow upon him a royal title equal to his strength of character. But as fate would have it, youthful curiosity leads him to stray from the yard. Nameless and afraid, he suddenly finds himself lost and alone in the pine barrens of eastern Long Island (New York).
In a frantic effort to find his way home, Pup travels aimlessly through the forest until he crosses paths with some unusual woodland characters who ultimately befriend him and guide him on his journey. But the road home is a dangerous one and Pup and his comrades soon find themselves standing face-to-face with evil. Assembling the greatest of their physical strengths, instincts and intelligence, they fight to survive the cruelties and ignorance that surrounds them, discovering the best of themselves and each other in the process.
A Friend Indeed uses primarily animal characters to tell a very human story about the ills of prejudice and the interdependence of all life.

Silver Bells
By Gwynne Forster, Lynn Emery,Carmen Green
Pinnacle's Arabesque line continues its annual holiday tradition with this diverse trio of contemporary African American romances, each highlighting a different winter celebration. In Gwynne Forster's "Christopher's Gifts," an upscale interior decorator finds happiness with the man she has hired to be her chauffeur; in Carmen Green's appealing "Whisper to Me," a lovely teacher introduces the rich traditions of Kwanzaa to a widower and his seven-year-old twin girls; and in Lynn Emery's compelling "To Begin Again," a determined social worker activist finds that love does not follow party lines. Although the stories are not equally well done, they make for pleasant holiday reading.
Obsession
By Gwynne Forster
Failure to secure a coveted partnership was the driving force behind Selena Sutton's move to Texas. Wanting a low stress, small town life with people who would accept her for herself, Selena packed her bags and headed to Waverly, Texas. She took a job as a psychological counselor and began a new chapter in her life. Her new home gives her the change she needed, until one man's greed and desire leave Selena in the hospital. Then she finds herself being protected by a very unlikely person- her attacker's brother. But who will protect her from losing her heart to Magnus Cooper? Magnus fell for Selena the moment she arrived in Waverly. She wasn't his type, of course- too much like his cold-as-ice mother. But that doesn't stop Magnus from wanting Selena, or wanting to protect her when his brother Prince assaults her. Magnus's problems with his brother go way back, but he is determined that Prince will never get his hands on Selena. Not if he has anything to say about it. Gwynne Forster's Obsession is a fast-paced, suspenseful tale of two brothers at war and a woman caught in the middle. The heat between Selena and Magnus is as hot as Texas chili from page one, and the love scenes sizzle. Unfortunately, some of Ms. Forster's dialogue feels awkward and the plot loses luster due to unrealistic plot elements. However, her interesting secondary characters and several twists in the story make up for other flaws and fans of Ms. Forster will find her ending sweet and satisfying. Gwynne Forster's writing crackles with sensuality! Her love scenes will leave you breathless! A fast-paced story filled with suspense and enough twists to rival a Texas twister! Hot, hot, hot!

The "manufactured" tale is carefully and meticulously developed into a Cold War scenario and an event that could have potentially happened, but fortunately...it did not! A must read for the spy and conspiracy theorist!

Blues From Down Deep
By Gwynne Forster
Regina Pearson has reached the ripe age of 40 knowing nothing about her family, so after her father's death she decides it's time to leave Hawaii, where she's lived with native Hawaiians, having no clue about African American life on the mainland. She finds an aunt in New Bern, North Carolina, who welcomes her, but the rest of the family keeps their distance. Regina takes a job managing a large hotel and there meets Colonel Justin Duval, who is designing the hotel's interior, and even though they clash at work, a personal relationship develops that is threatened by Regina's quest to have a relationship with her relatives. Justin would rather live without his large extended family and can't comprehend Regina's desire to wade into her gene pool. Regina realizes that maybe she had unrealistic expectations, but her tenacity starts to yield results even as her new family ties jeopardize her relationship with Justin. Forster's sensitive portrayal of a woman trying to find her roots offers some unusual offshoots and is a cut above the ordinary.

Whatever It Takes
By Gwynne Forster
The twins, Lacette and Kellie, grew up in the Christian home of Reverend Marshall and Mrs. Cynthia Graham. At 33, the girls are as identical in looks as their personalities are opposite. Lacette learned at an early age to give into Kellie's manipulation. Kellie's covetous and competitive nature seeks out Lacette's things, as well as her boyfriends. Cynthia has contributed to Kellie's behavior by never holding her accountable for her behavior. Marshall does not set Kellie straight either, but he does protect Lacette from Kellie's outbursts. With no explanation, Cynthia and Marshall separate, and he moves out of the parsonage. After the maternal grandmother's will is read, Kellie decides that she wants the broach that was left to Lacette. With Marshall staying at a hotel, the Graham women begin to live distant and separate lives--Cynthia is floating through a midlife crisis, Lacette has purchased her own house and started a business, and Kellie is on the warpath to get that broach. Everyone learns--at a price--that doing whatever it takes has consequences.
Profiles in Betrayal: The Enemy Within
By Adams, Christopher S.
Profiles In Betrayal: The Enemy Within is a sequel to his first novel, Red Eagle, and carries the theme of Soviet secret police operations, spying and espionage to a new level. Following the assassination of President Kennedy and the discovery that the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, had lived in the Soviet Union for three years prior to the murder, historical Soviet paranoia erupted. The main character of the story, “Sasha” Katsanov, is a highly trained and skilled Soviet GRU agent-spy who is once again sent back into the United States undercover to attempt to determine if Oswald, the accused assassin, was in fact under the influence of the KGB, other Soviet interests, or did he act alone. The historical rivalry between the two principal Soviet intelligence agencies, the GRU and the KGB, is rekindled with numerous violent attempts on the part of the latter to thwart Sasha’s mission. Kidnapping, torture and murder, a normal part of the KGB’s modus operandi, to influence and exert power and control were put to full use in attempts to sabotage Sasha’s investigation. Within the U.S., the Intelligence Community was also in turmoil over its respective failure to monitor the activities of the accused assassin, Oswald, both while he lived in the Soviet Union and after he returned. Profiles In Betrayal will not only keep the reader gripped by the exceptional realism of the story as well as the clever plot development.

Herbs of Southern Ecuador: A Field Guide to the Medicinal Plants of Vilcabamba
By Bejar, Ezra
Secrets of Youth in Southern Ecuador?
Vilcabamba, (in the Quechua language “holly valley”) located in Southern Ecuador, is known to gerontologists as one of three places in the world with the largest population of elderly people. This valley is known as an "island of immunity and a pool of longevity." The favorable climate, water quality, proper nutrition and use of herbs allow inhabitants to survive to a high age in a remarkable state of fitness.
Until now the " herbal wisdom of the age" has not been documented. An international team of scientists (including medical anthropology, ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology) contacted the only elderly curandero living in San Pedro de Vilcabamba, Don Cruz Roa. After establishing a solid relationship with him, the team meticulously organized local herbal wisdom in a coherent and succinct manner for transmission to future generations.
For the first time the secrets of herbal wisdom of Vilcabamba are available to the public. Herbs of Southern Ecuador provides exciting information about the expedition to Ecuador, the field methodology, and complete ethnobotanical information on more than 140 herbs. It includes vernacular and scientific names, families and synonyms, illustrations, botanical descriptions, origins, geographic coordinates, as well as ecology, traditional classification, uses, preparation, parts used, and administration. The information is in Spanish and English, for easy cross-reference, containing excellent indices by scientific and vernacular names and a comprehensive bibliography

Ideologies in Conflict : A Cold War Docu-Story
By Adams, Christopher S.
The author characterizes this book as a "docu-story". As such, it is an exceptionally well-researched and skillfully written chronology of the history of Russia, the Soviet Union and the cold War. The work is unusual and unique. It is unusual because unlike most books of an historical nature, it is free-flowing and not tightly structured. It is unique because it is written with considerable input from the author's personal experiences interwoven with perceptions and anecdotal observations. The work is Assertive: "I have no doubt that there was Cold War. I fought in it." (The Author); Candid: "Stalin is an unconscionable dictator, but I liked the little son-of-a-bitch." (Truman); Provocative: "Truman is worthless." (Stalin); and Challenging: "Why not set a goal, just between the two of us; let's find a practical way to solve our critical issues." (Reagan) and "we can set a specific agenda for how to straighten-out Soviet-American relations." (Gorbachev). Finally, it is Cautionary: "The world has become in many respects a safer place, unfortunately, it is also still a dangerous place, fraught with uncertainty." (Commander-in-Chief, US Strategic Command) and: "The missile force is in the same state of readiness as ten years ago. My men and my missiles are always ready." (General of the Army, Igor Sergeyev, Republic of Russia.)

The Fraternity: Lawyers And Judges In Collusion
By Molloy, John F.
As lawyer and judge for half a century, John Fitzgerald Molloy has both profited from our legal system and seen how it has been altered in favor of lawyers, to the detriment of society. The book starts with the evolution of the Fraternity, with the author using vivid descriptions of particular cases in which he was involved. He shows that the legal profession has continuously re-shaped the law, in subtle but significant ways, to make legal services ever more necessary—and more lucrative for the Fraternity.
The power the Fraternity now exercises, including the power to decide President Bush over Gore, has been accomplished by creating a new religion, that of worshiping the Constitution in ways the founders did not intend—with lawyers and judges the priests of that religion. Lawyers may not appreciate the revelations in this book, but they should be very interested, for this author knows the profession well, and his analysis will resonate with their own experience. For those who have been appalled by the large fees charged for lawyers’ services, this book will be an enlightenment.
For those who appreciate vignettes coming from some of the most interesting cases hitting our courts, this book will be captivating. Molloy documents terrible deficiencies in our legal system and presents practical solutions, such as separating the bench and the bar as is done in other countries in the world. Other publications that decry the ascendancy of lawyers offer no suggestion as to how their power can be curbed. This book does.
Geopolitics: RE-visioning World Politics
By John Agnew
Geopolitics identifies and scrutinizes the central features of geopolitics from the sixteenth century to the present, paying close attention to its persisting conceptual underpinnings, novel turns and shifting impacts. The book focuses on five key concepts of the modern geopolitical imagination: visualizing the world as a whole; the definition of geographical areas as 'advanced' or 'primitive'; the notion of the state being the highest form of political organization; the pursuit of primacy by competing states; and the necessity for hierarchy.

Home security
Safety while on the go
Tools to protect women
Defending yourself in an attack
The real foundation for women’s self protection is the ability to identify certain attitudes, behaviors, and universal truths.
