Review & Description

Have you been feeling sick, sluggish or run-down? Do you consider yourself to be healthy? What do being healthy really means? Being healthy is simply having the energy and vitality to move forward and enjoy your life.

After conducting extensive research on how to become healthier, I learned that it’s a good chance that all the following have contributed to your organs becoming clogged, turning hard and slowing you down --such as eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) over the years; Swallowing undigested foods over the years; Eating junk foods over the years; and taking pharmaceuticals (either prescribed or over-the-counter) over the years.

Even though you are not experiencing any pain from your liver, kidneys or other organs, it doesn't mean that they are operating at 100%. The problem is if you don’t do something to reverse the damages that have occurred to your organs over the years, they will eventually give out. If one organ gives out, they all give out because they work as a team -- and you will die!

If you have bad breath, pass gas that has a foul odor or have a bad odor when you defecate, that means you have something inside of you that is dying or in other words - a disease is developing in your body.

Remember diseases cannot exist in a healthy body! The goal is to look at your lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep patterns, etc.) and your environment (inside environment and outdoor environment) and develop good habits that will give you a "disease-free body."

Don’t beat yourself up if it takes some time for you to adjust to your new lifestyle. After all you did not pick up all those bad habits overnight. Remember it takes 3 to 4 weeks to form new habits. But you have to start today before it’s too late!

Remember chances are you are the cause and you will also have to be the cure for what is happening to your body.

This is a self-help guide to renewing your life and getting back the energy and vitality you had years ago --and I am living proof that you can do this starting within the next 30 days.

This book “How To Take Control of Your Own Life: A Self-Help Guide to Becoming Healthier Over the Next 30 Days” is the third book in a 3 part empowerment book series which provides powerful information on how to take control of your own life. Enjoy!

Review & Description

One of America’s deep, dark secrets is ‘workplace abuse’ also known as ‘workplace or employment discrimination’ or ‘workplace bullying.’

During hard times, managers, supervisors and others in the workplace bring in others who look like them –their own relatives, friends and neighbors. These types of internal practices have left many American workers out in the cold with no place to go.

Workplace discrimination is the treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person based on the group, class, or category to which that person belongs rather than on individual merit.

There is also a growing workplace battleground where a record number of employees are being fired, demoted and otherwise punished for speaking out against discrimination and harassment such as sexism, sexual harassment, and sex and race discrimination.

Women, African Americans and other minorities should not and cannot afford to back away from the workplace. Some companies welcome women, African Americans or gays, but are horrible at welcoming the “disabled.” If you don’t have an inclusive workforce, people know that. The word “a diverse market” gets out pretty fast. You have to “walk the walk!”

Minorities, especially African Americans who are treated as if they are second and third class citizens in their own country, are no longer “the last hired and first fired.” Nowadays --they are not hired at all.

We can no longer turn a blind eye to these types of disparities. Most workplaces in America have a system set up to make it appear as though when you file a workplace discrimination complaint that you will receive justice. It is called the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) (EEOC.gov).

These workplace complaints are filed on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age. But not all employees, especially managers and supervisors, are protected or covered by EEOC laws. This can vary depending on the type of employer, the number of employees it has, and the type of discrimination alleged.

As we move increasingly more towards diversity, workplaces must learn to treat people with dignity. They must embrace fair hiring not only because it is the right thing to do also because it’s good business. There must be checks and balances put into place to make sure that there is more than just an appearance of justice when you file a workplace discrimination complaint.

Please contact your legislators today at CONGRESS.org and urge the Senate and Congress to take immediate action and order the Government Accountability Office (GAO) (GAO.gov), the investigative arm of Congress, to conduct investigations and hearings into the internal practices of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

This book will show you how to fight workplace discrimination, whistleblowing and the workers’ compensation system and win.

Excerpts from Book:

Some alarming workplace statistics include:

• Over 85% of workers are unhappy with their jobs.
• Over 85% of workers are one (1) paycheck away from being homeless.
• The goal of abusive managers is to break the spirit of good hard-working, honest employees.
• Because of the weak economy -- nepotism, favoritism and cronyism have polluted most workplaces in America.

Alarming statistics dealing with women:

• Depression is the number one barrier women face in the workplace.
• Over 70% of women in workplaces are mothers but there is very little “flex time” - anywhere.
• Over 40% to 90% of women will experience some form of “sexual harassment” in the workplace but only 5% will file claims of harassment.
• Over 98% of all leadership books in the workplace were written by men. Laws to protect women in the workplace have not been revamped in the past 20 years. More women vote than men - so why haven’t laws been introduced and passed to protect women in the workplace?One of America’s deep, dark secrets is ‘workplace abuse’ also known as ‘workplace or employment discrimination’ or ‘workplace bullying.’

Review & Description

In 2008, Amy Curran Baker was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma and opted for bilateral mastectomy with Direct to Implant Reconstruction. Within three weeks of being diagnosed she had a mastectomy and was on the road to recovery. But after the surgery she had a lot of questions, the same that most women will have. As an Occupational Therapist, she knew some of the answers from her own clinical training and experience. But many more came from speaking with other women who had undergone mastectomies, from researching message boards, and a little bit of luck.

Now she and her co-authors have brought together the answers to the questions that women face in chapters that cover everything from how to prepare for going to the hospital to when you come home Amy and her co-authors answer:

• Why am I so tired all the time?
• What about these drains?
• Should I worry about Lymphedema?
• What are some complications I should be aware of?
• And more

Although everyone's experience is slightly different depending upon one's individual choice: mastectomy alone or mastectomy with reconstruction; the majority of the information applies to all women who had a mastectomy.


Amy and her co-authors include chapters on key issues all women face including wound management, scar massage, dressing and bathing, emotional recovery, and more. And although mastectomy is frightening, the authors make clear that today's procedure is not what it used to be.


Now What?, is the first resource to provide all the information that women need after mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery so that they can focus on what matters most: healing and staying well.


Contents: Introduction, 1. Making the Difficult Decisions, 2. Now What?, 3. After-care, Recovery and Complications, 4. Voices, 5. The Forms You Will Need
"When facing mastectomy, you can never ask too many questions, you can only regret not pushing for more details ahead of time. While this is true, you also need true and thorough answers. In Amy Curran Baker's book you find these answers "-Ingrid Kollak, RN, PhD, Co-author: Yoga and Breast Cancer
"The open dialogue [in this book] explores the multiple facets of complete healing and heightens the reality that no two journeys are the same. The upbeat and reassuring content is a must read for those considering a mastectomy."

A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar

Why do we say "I am reading a catalog" instead of "I read a catalog"? Why do we say "do" at all? Is the way we speak a reflection of our cultural values? Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history. Covering such turning points as the little-known Celtic and Welsh on English, the impact of the Viking raids and the Norman Conquest, and the Germanic invasions that started it all, John McWhorter narrates this colorful evolution with vigor. Drawing on revolutionary genetic and linguistic research as well as a cache of remarkable trivia about the origins of English words and syntax patterns, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue ultimately demonstrates the arbitrary, maddening nature of English-and its ironic simplicity.A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar

Review & Description

Intriguing plots, complex characters, and a landscape come to life are mainstays of Archer Mayor's New England thrillers. With a gift for vivid writing, he has made "an honorable art form of the regional mystery," according to the New York Times Book Review. Now in a suspenseful new novel, Mayor's popular sleuth Joe Gunther faces one of the most baffling cases of his career.

A legend among Vermont cops, Joe Gunther has solved more local whodunits than a whole squad of detectives. But his latest case takes him and his team off their Brattleboro home turf, forty-two miles west, to chip-on-its-shoulder, blue-collar Bennington.

On the edge of town, Gunther encounters the lifeless body of Michelle Fisher. Her corpse, pale and seemingly at peace, offers him no clues about who she was or how she died. There are no signs of violence, no disorder. Snapshots and postcards show a woman who laughed hard and lived harder. Yet diaries reveal a rootless life marred by depression and drink. Suicide seems a reasonable conclusion, but Gunther suspects foul play. The house is for sale, after all, and Michelle was its only tenant-one who resisted all efforts to have her evicted. The unsavory landlord is a prime suspect, but is safely equipped with an impressively air-tight alibi.

Now to uncover the truth about the fate of this discarded, all but forgotten woman, Gunther must follow a confusing trail of half leads and mounting crimes. He draws near to a violent and careless trio of criminals, whose leader is hell-bent on making the career move of a lifetime-and willing to step on anyone who might get in his way.Intriguing plots, complex characters, and a landscape come to life are mainstays of Archer Mayor's New England thrillers.

On a sweltering summer afternoon, newspaper tycoon Richard Jewell—known to his many enemies as Diamond Dick—is discovered with his head blown off by a shotgun blast. But is it suicide or murder? For help with the investigation, Detective Inspector Hackett calls in his old friend Quirke, who has unusual access to Dublin's elite.

Jewell's coolly elegant French wife, Françoise, seems less than shocked by her husband's death. But Dannie, Jewell's high-strung sister, is devastated, and Quirke is surprised to learn that in her grief she has turned to an unexpected friend: David Sinclair, Quirke's ambitious assistant in the pathology lab at the Hospital of the Holy Family. Further, Sinclair has been seeing Quirke's fractious daughter Phoebe, and an unlikely romance is blossoming between the two. As a record heat wave envelops the city and the secret deals underpinning Diamond Dick's empire begin to be revealed, Quirke and Hackett find themselves caught up in a dark web of intrigue and violence that threatens to end in disaster.

Tightly plotted and gorgeously written, A Death in Summer proves to the brilliant but sometimes reckless Quirke that in a city where old money and the right bloodlines rule, he is by no means safe from mortal danger.

Review & Description

The life of 31-year-old trophy wife Wynter Morrison suddenly changes course when her husband announces one evening that their marriage is over. Emotionally devastated and desperate for a change of scenery, Wyn moves to Seattle where she spends aimless hours at a local bakery, sipping coffee and inhaling the sweet aromas of freshly-made bread. These visits bring back memories of her long-ago apprenticeship at a French boulangerie, and when offered a position at the bakery, Wyn quickly accepts -- hoping that the rituals of baking will help her move on.

Working long hours among the bakery's cluster of eclectic women -- Linda, the irascible bread baker; earth mother Ellen and her partner Diane; and Tyler, the blue-haired barista -- Wyn awakens to the truths that she missed while living the good life in Hancock Park.

Soon Wyn discovers that making bread possesses an unexpected and wondrous healing power, helping her to rediscover that nothing stays the same... bread rises, pain fades, the heart heals, and the future beckons.

Review & Description

The "wonderful first novel about life, love, and lobster fishing" (USA Today) from the #1 bestselling writer

In 2000, Elizabeth Gilbert's Stern Men debuted to phenomenal critical attention. Now, Penguin is publishing a new edition of Gilbert's wise and charming novel for the millions of readers who devoured Eat, Pray, Love and remain hungry for more. Off the coast of Maine, Ruth Thomas is born into a feud fought for generations by two groups of local lobstermen over fishing rights for the waters that lie between their respective islands. At eighteen, she has returned from boarding school-smart as a whip, feisty, and irredeemably unromantic-determined to throw over her education and join the "stern men"working the lobster boats. Gilbert utterly captures the American spirit through an unforgettable heroine who is destined for greatness-and love-despite herself.John Irving wishes. That he could be as mordantly funny as Elizabeth Gilbert, that is. With the publication of her first novel, Stern Men, Gilbert has been widely compared to New England's unofficial novelist laureate. And the comparison is a natural; this writer gives us a tough, lovable heroine against an iconoclastic, rural backdrop. Ruth Thomas grows up on Fort Niles Island, off the coast of Maine, among lobstermen, lobster boats, and, well, lobsters. There's just not much out there besides ocean. Abandoned by her mother, she lives sometimes with her dad and sometimes with her beautiful neighbor, Mrs. Pommeroy, and the seven idiot Pommeroy boys. Eventually she is plucked from obscurity by the wealthy Ellises--vacationers on Fort Niles for some hundred years--and sent, against her will, to a fancy boarding school in Delaware. (Sorting out her relationship with this highly manipulative family is one of the novel's crooked joys.) Now she has returned, and is casting about for something to do.

What Ruth does (hang around with her eccentric island friends, fall in love, organize the lobstermen) makes for an engaging book that's all the more charming for its rather lumpy, slow-paced plotting. Gilbert delivers a kind of delicious ethnography of lobster-fishing culture, if such a thing is possible, as well as a love story and a bildungsroman. But best of all, she possesses an ear for the ridiculous ways people communicate. One of Mrs. Pommeroy's young sons, "in addition to having the local habit of not pronouncing r at the end of a word--could not say any word that started with r.... What's more, for a long time everyone on Fort Niles Island imitated him. Over the whole spread of the island, you could hear the great strong fishermen complaining that they had to mend their wopes or fix their wigging or buy a new short-wave wadio."

The beauty of Gilbert's book is that she gives us an isolated rural culture, and refuses to settle for finding humor in its backwardness. Instead she gives us a community of uneducated but razor-sharp wits, and produces an impressive comic debut. --Claire DedererThe "wonderful first novel about life, love, and lobster fishing" (USA Today) from the #1 bestselling writer

Review & Description

Iran’s complex, violent military history encompasses two world wars, foreign intervention, anti-government revolts, border disputes, a revolution, a war against Iraq that lasted over eight years, and its desperate quest to become a nuclear power.
 
Following his award-winning book, Shadows in the Desert, which explored the military history of ancient Persia, in Iran at War Kaveh Farrokh turns his attention to modern Iran's wartime history. Beginning with the Safavid dynasty of the 16th and 17th centuries, he traces Iran’s political and military progress to its dramatic turning point in 1979. In doing so, Farrokh demonstrates how Iran’s current bellicosity on the world stage was shaped by centuries of military defeat and humiliating foreign influences from the likes of Russia and Great Britain.
 
Including illustrations and photographs, this book provides an unparalleled investigation into the bloody history of modern Iran.
