Many of our leading scientists believe that global warming and climate change, self-inflicted maladies for mankind, are prevalent threats and must be dealt with now.They tell us that if we don’t change the ways in which we destroy the elements necessary for human life, we will assure the ultimate end of the human life as we know it on Planet Earth.We must acknowledge that eliminating the primary human-related causes of global warming will be improbable and perhaps impossible without worldwide preventative measures.Failure to administer necessary protective and corrective measures is no longer an option in safeguarding the planet for future generations of Earth inhabitants, including our own offspring.This book explains the debacle and deals with the ultimate and pervasive question – “What can we do?”

Life is grand and heading in the direction Andre has always envisioned. But secrets, lies, and webs of deception soon reveal themselves, threatening to destroy all that he and K.C. have worked to build, and changing lives forever. Will those changes destroy bonds formed over the years-or will love rule?

All of these stories are connected in some way to the realm of the supernatural, either by a thread or by iron shackles. These twenty diverse tales encompass a variety of locales and disparate characters. They are much more than ghost stories or things that go bump in the night, although you may, indeed, find a ghost or two. But also inhabiting these pages you will discover an angel, demon, goddess, serial killer, prostitute, and zombie, to name but a few. Besides the supernatural link to the unknown, the other common denominator tying these yarns together is the twists, turns, and surprise outcomes they may take.

An element of suspense comes naturally to writer, Lori Taylor, in her collection of short stories, From The Mundane to The Macabre. Whether her characters find themselves in the midst of a haunting or are being terrorized by a demonic creature, the stories are brought to life by the detailed setting and protagonist responses. Lori draws on her varied experiences visiting a wide range of locations that highlight local legends, historical site with uncanny events, sacred Indian burial grounds, and regional myths to create her imaginative tales.Her stories include situations where characters are reminded of loved ones that have passed away, former homeowners that have died tragically, or evil spirits trying to disrupt and ''intruders'' presence. The language in all of the stories creates a colorful and vivid setting for the reader to immerse themselves in the story lines and eerie events. Often the author inserts whimsical interactions between a main character and alien or spirit world creature, lending levity to the plot. Other stories focus on the terror felt by the protagonist.This story collection is diverse and entertaining. Anybody that enjoys suspense and the supernatural will enjoy reading this compilation of spine-chilling tales. ~ Lorena Carlson - Athens, Ohio

Humans are always drawn to flowers – for joy, for love, for meaning, and for connection with the natural world. In “Grandfather’s Legacy…”, we have met the narrator before – as the beloved and wise Grandfather who shares his views of humanity in “Did the Smarter Apes Stay in the Trees?” The current book is a treasure trove of writings on flowers collected (and some written) by Grandfather and discovered by his Grandson after his death in a box in the attic . This eclectic and unorganized collection of facts, fables, and folklore about “earth stars” (his name for flowers) included stories from mythology, poems celebrating flowers over the millennia, and tales of the intricate language of flowers seen in the Victorian Age. Together, the assorted writings reflected what Grandson knew to be his Grandfather’s passion for flowers and their role in human history and the world today – in effect, his legacy. Grandfather claimed, “Flora…[are]…truly a culture-free language, understood by the young and old, the dull and the bright, the saint and the sinner, all over the known worldwide.” So for lovers of flowers, this book enriches our understanding of flowers. The selection of poems and myths about flowers is a uniquely personal perspective on the meaning of flowers over the ages.  And there is more. Because Grandfather had firm convictions about the state of the world and an ironic, humorous approach to sharing his views, the writings are embellished by his own whimsical fictions. These begin with erstwhile graduate student and the discovery of Adam’s diary (and the real story of Adam, Eve, and Eden, the First Garden) and ending with a talking woodchuck who reenacted in a mini-drama a conference of the flowers discussing the endangered species Homo sapiens.  As an author, Trapp provides a unique voice and a distinctive writing style that challenges our thinking and adds to our knowledge.

Trapped tells the story of a young woman, recently graduated from an Eastern college and teaching in a small New Mexico town who follows her boyfriend into joining the Druids, a pseudo-religious cult in the desert. While living in the remote arid landscape, her mind and body are controlled by the cult leaders who take away her possessions, her boyfriend, connections to her past, and even her identity by giving her a new name. After six months, with the help and love of her family, she escapes, but for the next forty years learns to live with the trauma and scars as a victim of cult mind control. Today, disparate groups and their fervent followers tout ideologies that prey on human vulnerability using mind control techniques to advance their agendas making Trapped an important book for all ages to read and discuss.

This novel continues the story of the Gordon Family and the Father''s Touch Ministry. As the Ministry expands within the borders of the USA it encounters more opposition from all kinds of groups. Somehow helping men and women with sexual issues, especially unwanted same sex attraction, is seen as controversial and undesirable by people with vested interests. The Ministry''s emphasis is on pursuing holiness through praying, studying the Bible, and fellowshipping. Anyone experiencing more complex personality disorders are referred to the medical authorities. In essence, the Father''s Touch''s Ministry seeks to provide moral and spiritual support for those struggling with a variety of sexual and spiritual problems. Unfortunately, the Gay Enforcers, an extremely militant group, sees the Ministry as a threat and will do anything to destroy it.

In this era of diminishing moral values and the promotion of inclusivity, it is relevant to draw attention to the wrongly perceived concept of gender equality. The fact is that it is always firmly tilted in favor of one gender. Solidifying the uncompetitive advantage to one and the unfair disadvantage to the other. With the dramatic rise of technology and the rapid growth of social media, replacing direct interaction between humans, it is crucial to expand the conversation about which gender is most likely to be the one disadvantaged, and undoubtedly it is the female.Charles has spent countless hours counseling and grooming ladies from all cultures and persuasion to appreciate their worth better and avoid the trap of marginalization. Hence a community of resilience women fighting to overcome stereotypes and maintain their worth, pride, and dignity.  The pain of knowing the treatment these ladies have to endure at the hands of men has become an obsession for him for a very long time.In this book, he chronicled a series of events that he hope will awake the reader's consciousness to the problems and sow a seed of discontent that would hopefully lead to more awareness.He was careful to underscore the difference between how we view suffering through the natural from what God intended it to produce.  Being a man and writing about the issues of the female, he completely debunks the theory that promotes gender exclusivity ( only who feels it knows it). He focuses on the notion that there is much more to the woman than mere sexual propensity. As the hand made of divine creation, we carry God's divine DNA, and as such, we should look at each other as an extension of each other.He writes from a layman perspective with a deep sense of emotion and spiritual insight into the possible causes of women suffering. It is a fact that our ladies carry the burdens of producing the next person, yet she has to endure unbearable agony as a Silent Suffer.The reader will not only be made aware of how God sees suffering, but they will be conscious of Jesus’s methodical dismantling of all religious and cultural barriers that confine the woman to the rules of a male-dominated system. God is the one who gave the woman to the man, and through a systematical and strategic approach, He takes back His gift and shelters her under the protective wings of divine providence.With no claim to fame, he draws on his year's experience and passion in giving readers a comprehensive and insightful perspective into the world of the woman as a Silent Suffer. The writer hopes the reader will begin to see the faults, weaknesses, mistakes,  and shortcomings of the woman as a cry for love and adoration, and not the fruit of a desperate underperformer as the misguided mind would want us to believe. The main objective of this book is to refocus the cultural, natural, and educational assessment of women and why they are the way they are to one of more spiritual predestination.

The Prayer for the Last Resort recounts the wartime story of Mordecai Popovtzer, a child survivor of the Holocaust. Originally from Lwow, Poland. Popovtzer lived with his family under the Soviet rule until the Nazi invasion of their hometown. After losing his father, he-along with his mother and sister-went into hiding as they continually evaded apprehension by the Nazis. Throughout the war, they were forced to move between different hiding places and joined a group of partisans fighting against the Nazis. Shortly after the war, Popovtzer made aliyah with his family, and succeeded to live a rich life filled with many professional accomplishments and a loving family.

I have an extensive work background in engineering and powerplant operations and management. My education includes a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Science in Management. I grew up in a family of eight with four sisters and a brother. I’m married and have four children of my own. The places where I have lived include Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, and Michigan. I also spent quite a bit of time at a cabin I built in Vermont. I have traveled extensively throughout the US and Canada.This story has been in creation for more than ten years. There are two topics of conversations I would periodically hear that bugged me. The first is that that constitution is outdated and should be replaced. Nothing is further from the truth. In fact, its exact wording is more applicable and important today than it ever has been. As technologies become available to know everything about you and digital information controls your life, limited government and preeminence of individual rights are the foundation for the preservation of humanity.The second is that aliens will visit in flying saucers; make a limited appearance so we just get a glimpse of them and then return home. That is illogical on many important levels. First, their transport ship may be bigger than the solar system or smaller than the head of a pin. If a visit ever happens, it will not be in a vessel sized for an earth mammal. Furthermore, if the resources are invested to get here, any visit will not be trivial and brief.In watching old movies, I was inspired by the innovation of Western Union. The concept struck me that the best way to get something somewhere is to already have it there. In other words, the best way to get money from someone on the east coast to the west coast is to already have the money on the west coast. The money can be delivered at the speed of light instead of the speed of a horse. To be successful, it doesn’t have to be the same money. It just needs to be a functional equivalent. An extrapolation of that concept might apply to alien beings. Maybe the best way to get to earth is to already be here….

Without warning, Grace Ellen-a mild-mannered Golden Retriever with unique talents-has her life uprooted and transformed in a way she and her family could never have imagined.

The settled principle of law and bedrock of the First Amendment is that, Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. The book is designed to give the student and curious minds a broad and knowledgeable insight into the First Amendment, the meaning of free speech, and why despite the protection afforded by the First Amendment, there are still some categories of expression not offered protection under the free speech doctrine. Fraud, defamation, obscenity and divulgence of State secret are among expressions not offered refuge by the First Amendment.The author carefully selected and reported some decisions of the United States Supreme Court, focusing on the subject of free speech, religious establishment and the free exercise clause. The book reports both the controversy and curiosity that are subjects of the present day Constitutional law. There are also hundreds of thought provoking essays and multiple choice questions in the book for the First Amendment students of Constitutional Law.

LOCKDOWN is the rule! “Exhaust yourself with cleaning!” to stay sane.I just finished reading your little book… You are a fabulous writer, and it was very interesting and entertaining. Your ability to write with humor and self-awareness is a true gift.I read your wonderfully entertaining and insightful Cabin Fever Exorcism and loved it.

Deceptive behavior warrants horrible outcomes. Where there''s secrets, deception is sure to follow.

Women have long been victims of inequality and discrimination, simply due to “being women”—and there is an urgent need to eliminate macho or chauvinistic violence towards them. Violence against women is perverse and intolerable—not only as an instrument of oppression and a creator of inequality, but also as an obstacle to women’s empowerment. Feminist movements have been fundamental in shining a light on this insidious violence—hidden and tolerated socially for centuries—and have demanded tougher laws to eradicate this problem. Violence Against Women encourages stronger protection for women through an analysis of Criminal Laws that are focused on more severe punishment for crimes involving physical violence against women.

An adventurous vacationing couple wanders into an apparently empty unmapped section of backwoods South Carolina and gets lost when their GPS unexpectedly fails. They happen upon an enigmatic old black horse-cart driver named Owen who gives them not only directions to the highway, but also a cryptic warning to stay away from Longpoke Road.After making it back to civilization, Zach and Chloe Rafferty run into a succession of strange characters who leave them feeling uneasy. They spot the Council Lake Family Restaurant and decide it’s a good place to relax and talk about their unsettling road trip. Over breakfast, they strike up an easy conversation with Chester Ward and his quirky daughter, Annie, who own not only the diner, but also the whole rural town. Chester is thrilled when Zach admires his restored '57 Chevy parked out front, so he invites them back to their estate to show off his huge private automobile collection.Zach is an investigative reporter with a disarming manner that gets people to open up. Before long, a friendship forms and Chester reveals his late wife was murdered by the KKK for attempting to end centuries of local racism at her private liberal arts school. More probing leads to troubling links between the mysterious area they just drove through and the long-lost family of Chester’s best friend. It all seems tied to a dangerous meth-dealing Klan leader who runs a seedy barbecue joint in the next town. Chloe suddenly fears their recent trespassing may have put Owen’s life at risk. As more disturbing pieces fall into place, Zach suspects the old man is not the only one in danger and that the situation is far worse than first imagined. Further investigation reveals that Longpoke Road hides a vast criminal enterprise, which likely includes slavery. But even that pales in comparison to the reality they will confront.They all decide some large-scale immediate action is required to prevent what they are convinced is about to happen. To handle such a big operation, they consider contacting the FBI, but soon realize they don't have enough evidence for a warrant. That’s when Zach and Chloe learn eccentric billionaires play by different rules. Freed from cumbersome legal restrictions, the four hatch a clandestine rescue scheme using Chester’s own sheriff’s department augmented by a mercenary black ops team. Every time the path seems blocked, they all step easily across personal moral boundaries in pursuit of a greater good. The ensuing all-out war with murderous hillbillies uncovers breathtaking depravity no one thought possible in modern America.When the dust settles, Zach, Chloe, Chester, and Annie find their lives forever changed and entangled in ways that leave them all questioning what happened and who they really are.

This collection of mostly sonnets is an attempt to capture modernity in an ancient form: following Coleridge''s advice, I have tried to put "the best words in the best order."

Captain Valentin Chang is en route to Florida in 2086 commanding the large submersible destroyer, Wynarte, as part of a coordinated, worldwide nuclear attack on major cities by the Sovereign Republic of Africa.  As Wynarte waits for the appointed time to launch her missiles at Jacksonville, Orlando, and Atlanta, Chang discovers they are now in the year 2288.Jake Myers is sent to San Francisco to fix a vacuum problem in the westward portion of the Transcontinental Underground Railway (TUR).  He is helped by two maintenance workers and succeeds in correcting the problem in spite of a hostile attack.  Thomas, one of the maintenance workers, confides that his grandfather related that he had traveled in time from WWII to 2234, so Jake meets with Thomas’ family, assuring them that it was possible because he had also traveled in time from 2005 to 2283.Juan Morales visits Jake and his family and relates that he is going to Savannah to reunite with Skye Davenport, and then to Jacksonville to find his former boss, Mason Bankowski, whom he hasn’t been able to contact.  Skye seems strangely distant and attracted to Mannard Heinrich, her employer, so broken-hearted Juan travels to Jacksonville.  Finding a militaristic atmosphere, he contacts Jake, who joins him.Together, Jake and Juan start their search, but are chased out of the city and captured by “outsiders.”  Jake finds a commonality with a leader of the outsider village and enlists their help.  Meanwhile, Jake’s family’s concern over hearing nothing from him leads to his son, Nathan, traveling to Jacksonville, accompanied by Thomas, who volunteers to help.Jake, Juan, and the outsiders search for answers within the city, while Nathan and Thomas independently do the same.  They determine the city is populated by many soldiers, guards, and individuals under mind-control, and that many citizens have disappeared.  WWII Nazis are included in the mix and someone called the Fuhrer seems to be in charge.Thomas is captured and sent to an island prison housing the missing citizenry.  Nathan discovers Jake is living with outsiders and sets off alone to find him, almost dying in the process.  Jake and Nathan are reunited before Jake, Juan, some outsiders, and a few Nazi turncoats succeed in overtaking the island prison and rescuing the prisoners.  Among the freed prisoners is Thomas’ grandfather, Bill Reynolds, and two of his crewmembers from the WWII submarine, USS Crosshatch.  Both Crosshatch and a German submarine, U-857, were transported from the same time, although U-857 arrived recently.Juan, with help, rescues Skye from Mannard as they are being presented as the first Aryan couple, arranged by Karl Rudolein, a powerful Nazi trying to establish the Fourth Reich.Chang intends to obliterate the area using his unfired nuclear missiles, but a skeleton ensemble of the 3 Crosshatch crew, Mason, Juan, Thomas, and the Nazi turncoats use U-857 to engage Wynarte.  Both vessels are destroyed.  Three survive unscathed, while Juan, Mason, and Bill are badly injured.  As they seek medical help, Mannard tries to reclaim Skye and shoots Juan before falling to his death.An epilogue set five years later reveals the fate of the characters.
