Politically Correct Economics  A Semantic Primer for Realistic Radicals -Selling the same old Socialism under the banners of "Hope" & "Change" ISBN 978-1596300224 A light-hearted entertaining look at the origins of the financial crises during the Obama years. 222 pp. in print.

Other People's Money. The difference between Charity and Theft. The difference between noble and nefarious. Have you noticed that people who are most generous with your money are most stingy with their own? Socialists hate private charity, because they want to spend your money on what they want, not on what you want. Voluntary programs are less subject to abuse because the donor can refuse to give. "Entitlements" are a license to demand and to steal. Socialism produces a nation of leeches "entitled" to use the force of government to help themselves to "free" food, housing, and medical care at your expense. Why work? A light-hearted entertaining look at the origins of the current financial crisis. Includes a basic review of politically correct terminology, an allegorical review of how the American banking system works, a collection of politically correct bumper sticker slogans, a review of American financial history, and numerous quotations from our esteemed leaders. If you think Socialism is great stuff and you do not have a robust sense of humor, This probably isn't for you. But if you are one of the vast number of Americans who prefer freedom and want to spend your own money, you'll like this book.

Assembled and Edited by R.J.Banis, PhD, (2006) ISBN  978-1888725582  About half of all people in the United States will have an STD at some point in their lives. Most STDs are treatable or curable, but most people are unaware they are infected as they don't recognize the symptoms.

An extremely important and valuable reference for anyone who is sexually active. 

Second Edition.Sexually Transmitted Diseases Concern Everyone Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates about 65 million Americans are living with a sexually transmitted disease (STD). About half of all people will be infected by an STD sometime in their lifetimes. More than 19 million new cases occur each year In the United States, almost half of them among young people aged 15 to 24. Each year, one in four teens contracts an STD. As many as one in four Americans have Genital Herpes, and up to 90% are unaware that they have it. Each year in the United States, more than $13 billion is spent on major STDs including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). All STDs can be improved by treatment, and some can be cured, but many people who are infected don't recognize the symptoms. This book gives information primarily from official government medical sources on the most common STDs extant in the United States, including description of symptoms, more than 70 figures and photographs, what to do to reduce risk of exposure, and what to do if you think you might have been exposed. If you are concerned, then do something. Inactivity and ignoring information will not make it better. Buy this book and share it with your friends. Illnesses like STDs will only thrive in darkness and ignorance.

AVOIDING Attendants from HELL 2nd Edition!
AVOIDING Attendants from HELL is a comprehensive, "how to" guide for individuals who are physically disabled as well as professionals, caregivers and supportive family members involved in the independent living process.

At some point in our lives, we will all experience the limitations of a disability. Be it a broken bone, stroke or genetic disease, we may need assistance performing those everyday tasks often taken for granted: bathing, brushing our teeth, tying our shoes. Fortunately, most people recover from their injuries and regain full independence. Others, however, are not as lucky. AVOIDING Attendants from HELL- A Practical Guide to Finding, Hiring & Keeping Personal Care Attendants is a how-to guide for those who require life-long assistance with personal care and daily living tasks due to a physical disability. Although these individuals may never be able to go without help, they can learn to manage their care, allowing a greater degree of independence. Toward this end, the disabled individual must learn how to find, hire and keep those paid to assist them: the Personal Care Attendant. The book's author, June Price, has required personal care assistance since birth due to spinal muscular atrophy, a rare neuromuscular disease. Since moving into her first apartment in 1980, she has maintained an independent lifestyle. Her experience managing part-time and live-in help is documented in this clear, concise guide. AVOIDING Attendants from HELL - A Practical Guide to Finding, Hiring & Keeping Personal Care Attendants is a "must read" book for anyone who requires personal assistance services.

The Stress Myth ISBN 978-1888725360 Stress-The 'Epidemic' of the 20th Century Numerous claims have been made about the evils of stress. As a result, advice on how to cope with 'the epidemic' of the 20th century has abounded. Interest in the concept of stress has generated studies in many varied areas of research which have included Psychology, Sociology, Immunology, Neurology, Cardiology, and Human resources. In bringing together the findings from most of these disciplines, this book is the first to tell the whole, complete story about stress. This book is also unique because, unlike most books on stress, it challenges the usefulness and validity of the concept of stress. The author has systematically investigated most of the claims that have been made about stress and has carefully argued and demonstrated that they cannot be substantiated. In addition, he offers a simpler and more adequate explanation of what takes place when people feel they are 'stressed'. Such an approach makes it possible to address the problem rather than the symptoms. "Serge Doublet has effectively, through his critical, and at times, most detailed examination of available evidence, demolished the concept of stress as a useful scientific construct." Professor Trevor Parmenter Royal Rehabilitation Centre Ryde Australia

Their seemingly innocent request for assistance eventually leads Connelly, Ludlum-like, through the brightly lighted board-rooms and dimly lit backstreets of Maracaibo, Medellin, Tianjin, and Kiev as he becomes inexorably enmeshed in a murky realm of foreign intrigue.Eventually betrayed by the political maneuverings of a besieged intelligence agency, and abandoned by his own company, Charlie finds himself working on a NGO project in recently independent Ukraine during the Orange Revolution. Once there, he is again contacted by the Agency, and tasked to locate and eliminate a defecting American spy before he can conclude the sale to Iran of Ukrainian owned missiles

ISBN 1-888725-49-4,  50 Things You Didn't Learn in School�But Should Have: Little known facts that still affect our world to-day  by John Naese (2005).    5�X8�, 200  pp, illustrated. $16.95
50 Things will let you in on the stuff that your high school teachers did not have time to teach you - or did not want you to know.
On what is covered in history class...
"Some high school students also get a year of world history, but that is usually contained in a "World Cultures" class, which goes into great detail about village life in the Amazon jungle, but does not tell you a lot you need to know to understand the sweep and grandeur of world history."
On democracy...
"The Romans, always stealing from the Greeks their best ideas, came up with the Roman Republic, which had senators representing the interests of groups of voters. This, of course, worked great until Julius Caesar came along and made the place a dictatorship."
On corporations...
"Corporations respond to demand for what they sell. If there is greater demand, they hire more workers. When demand lessens, they lay off some workers. It's called the business cycle, not "the evil corporate plot to abuse America's workers."
Read this, and you'll learn:
The US is not a democracy.
Electric cars pollute.
Corporations don't pay taxes.
The United States did not lose the Vietnam War.
All the important world news used to be covered in 15 minutes.
Deaths in the US: Ted Kennedy's car - 1; US nuclear power plant accidents - 0.
Guns in civilian hands save many more lives than they take.

It's meant to be provocative; it's meant to be an education. But mostly, it's meant to be fun to read. So have fun, enjoy, and learn something you probably didn't know.


ISBN 1-888725-64-8 The Gift of the Magic-and other enchanting character-building stories for smart teenage girls who want to grow up to be strong women. Richard Showstack, (2004)  5� X8�, 145 pp, $14.95  Includes The Wise Old King, a story that was read by Dr. Laura Schlessinger on the Dr. Laura show. "Teaching and Reaching Without Preaching (or Screeching)" The teenage years are a period when young people want to experiment, grow and try new things at the same time that they are not only going through emotional growing pains but are also extraordinarily hypersensitive to anyone (but especially a parent!) giving them advice. (As the saying goes: "You can always tell a teenager...but you can't tell him much!") These stories will not only provide pleasure and a gentle "heads up" warning about some wrong turns on the road of life but will also hopefully inspire conversations between children and their parents about the stories' subject matter and life lessons. As one early reviewer said, "The world needs more of this!"


ISBN 1-888725-66-4. A Horse Named Peggy-and other enchanting character-building stories for smart teenage boys who want to grow up to be good men. Richard Showstack, (2004) ) 5� X8�, 145 pp, $14.95  "Teaching and Reaching Without Preaching (or Screeching)" The teenage years are a period when young people want to experiment, grow and try new things at the same time that they are not only going through emotional growing pains but are also extraordinarily hypersensitive to anyone (but especially a parent!) giving them advice. This can make the teenage years a time of stress, not only for the person in question but also for their parents, who hate to see their child suffer through mistakes but also know that "preaching" to them will do little good. (As the saying goes: "You can always tell a teenager...but you can't tell him much!") Based on his own experiences (read: "mistakes") as a teenager (and post-teenager), Richard Showstack's stories serve up a large portion of wisdom sweetened with a teaspoon of fantasy and seasoned with a pinch of magic. His two books, The Gift of the Magic and A Horse Named Peggy, teach - and reach - teenagers without preaching to-or screeching at-them. The stories will not only provide pleasure and a gentle "heads up" warning about some wrong turns on the road of life but will also hopefully inspire conversations between children and their parents about the stories' subject matter and life lessons. As one early reviewer said, "The world needs more of this!"

Helen Johnson, Executive Director, State Firemen's & Fire Marshals' Association of Texas, Austin, Texas "This book is filled with concepts that will improve a business.... managers will be better managers, employees will be more fulfilled, and the net result will be a better bottom line."

ISBN: 1-888725-05-2     How to Travel-A Guidebook for Persons with a Disability  $14.95  There are about 43 million persons in the USA with some form of disability. Many of these people are concerned that they may not be able to enjoy the same activities, such as travel, that people without a disability do. This book is written as a guidebook to your rights and will present information on how to travel to accommodate various disabilities. Prior to 1986, little or no attention was paid to a person with a disability who wanted to travel. Since 1986, two acts have been passed by the Congress of the United States mandating that travel should be made equally available to all persons, disabled or not. The first act, the Air Carriers Access Act (ACAA), passed in 1986, defined what air carriers and airports must do to make aircraft and airports accessible to persons with disabilities. The second act, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, defined, among its many regulations, what public transportation and accommodations must offer to make their facilities accessible to persons with disabilities. The Act also states that facilities must be made accessible if it is not too difficult or expensive. The ADA does not mandate that the facilities be made usable. Fred Rosen has systematically defined rights and precautions to make traveling with a disability more accessible, affordable, and safe

ISBN: 1-888725-68-0    The Job--Eric Whitfield's account of self-discovery following the death of his Grandfather (October 2001)  $14.95   If you have lost someone close to you, this is an important book to read and  share.
 


Read the personal note from the Publisher:
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

I was particularly ready at the time Eric Whitfield shared this book�his first�with me.

My father-in-law had just died, and my wife, my daughters and I were in Wyoming for his funeral.  Andy was a  good friend. I'll always remember his gentle support throughout the years of joys and trauma we shared�but he had suffered. It was Andy's time to go�and Death came as a friend.

Harold Kushner's two books�When Bad Things Happen to Good People, and How Good Do We Have to Be�comforted me. Kushner observed that "Our memories give immortality to those we love."
Relationships don't die as our bodies do.

Eric Whitfield's The Job is an extraordinarily poignant vehicle for this message. As I read this short book, threads of imagery began to pull together in the middle and when I came to the end, the message hit home, as an emotional wave I should have seen building engulfed me.

There is a purpose and a time for everything.

If you have lost someone close to you, it is a time for you to read The Job, or perhaps it is a time to give this book to someone you love.

Michael Kazyak, Dow Corning, Midland, Michigan "Thank you, George, for sharing your journey with us. You do make a difference in people's lives . . . I know, because you've made a difference in mine." Helen L. Campbell, Executive Director, State Firemen's & Fire Marshals' Association of Texas "Reading his book will rekindle your emotions, enhance your perspective, and very possibly change your life." Buck Riley, Basketball Coach, Adrian College, Adrian, Michigan "I thought I was going to be writing about a plane crash victim who had survived. Instead, I wrote about a survivor who had triumphed . . . Burk survived by reaching deep inside himself to a place he never knew existed and finding an energy he never knew he had. It is a place he has tapped many times since the crash. With characteristic courage, enthusiasm, and compassion, Burk shares his story, so that we may find our special place, too."

ISBN: 1596301090  The Way It Was-Nostalgic Tales of HotRods and Romance 2nd Edition- by Chuck Klein,Regular size print edition.  $18.95
This is the Way It Was: "... A book so masterfully written, you can almost smell new upholstery on the street rod. This is definitely the best read..." Paul Taylor, Publisher. Route 66 Magazine "... hours of delightful entertainment.... If this is your first time reading Chuck Klein, it�s just like eating chocolate. Once you have the first bite, you know you�ll be coming back for more" Carl Cartisano, Cruisin' Style Magazine ...a new American classic, conjuring up images of good, clean fun for the "hot-rodders" of yesterday and today....a fun, fast read that appeals to the kid in all of us." -- Aaron Lasky, Hot Rod DeLuxe, CK DeLuxe, & Kingpin Magazines "Your book is great. You have captured the feel and texture of the 'fifties in each story. It's a wonderful read ...which accurately portrays and preserves the magic of the era". Dusty Rhodes, WSAI Radio, Cincinnati "Bet you can't read just one." Mike Lund, author of the Growing Up on Route 66 Series of Novels.  
This 2nd Edition includes the original fiction short stories plus new tales with the addition of a number of true accountings that read like fiction. Most of these stories, fiction and non-fiction alike, have seen publication previously in various magazines and books, some many times. Though a few were under different titles and slightly altered story lines. All of the stories in this book are historically and technically correct and are void of graphic sex, drugs, alcohol and explicit language. Though car-intensive, many are boy-gets-girl type love stories. Some of my Walter Mitty/Felsen style scenarios are based on actual happenings and events. These only-in-America fictional yarns most likely did occur...or should have. Of the non-fiction accountings -- they are true to the word.

  Virginia Mayo--The Best Years  of My Life, as told to LC Van Savage BeachHouse Books paperback 7X10, 300 pp includes more than 60 photos.  ISBN: 1-888725-53-2  $18.95     Virginia Clara Jones, born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1920, never wanted to play the usual childhood games with her chums; she only wanted to "play show." And indeed as a child, she did appear in many shows in and around St. Louis. As Virginia grew into her teen years, she began to dream of dancing and singing at the "Muny Opera" in St. Louis, and eventually she achieved that. From there, the beautiful teenager joined a Vaudeville troupe in a very successful act called "Pansy the Horse," and it was then that Virginia Jones became Virginia Mayo. Virginia went from the Muny, to Vaudeville, to films and the stage, but it was in films where the world saw and learned to love her the most. Equally talented in all acting genres, Virginia's musicals are her most memorable and were the ones she loved, and loved to perform in, above all others. Her talent and beauty were so dazzling, the Sultan of Morocco was prompted to send a letter to the studio heads of Warner Brothers saying "Virginia Mayo is tangible proof of the existence of God." "I just put my head down and did the work. All I ever wanted in my life was to do the work." This became her show business credo. Virginia Mayo "played show," did the work and did it well. Numerous photos

To Norma Jeane with Love, Jimmie by Jim Dougherty (Author), LC Van Savage (Narrator) 

From the Back Cover

I guess more words have been written about my first wife, my beloved Norma Jeane Baker, than perhaps have been written about a great many other people who have become famous.

Even after she became Marilyn Monroe, and long after her death, the words keep coming and coming. They'll never stop.

Sometimes the words liken Norma Jeane to a caterpillar becoming a beautiful and fragile butterfly, but that's not true.

Norma Jeane was always a butterfly. She was beautiful all of her life, within and without. During our courtship and marriage I never stopped loving to be with her, to stare at her, to laugh with and love her. We had a wonderful, joyful marriage.

But in the end, it was not enough for Norma Jeane. Like all beautiful butterflies, she had to fly away.

The difference between the millions of other words written and the ones within this book is simple; mine are not conjecture. Mine are not research. My words are true because I was there.

I had the honor and privilege to have lived the experience. The words in this book are all true, because Norma Jeane Baker was my wife. --- Jim Dougherty
