One Touch Nursing Calculations
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99I stumbled upon this formulae when I went for a medication exam at the Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. I was not informed that I would be doing a medication exam so I did not go over my medication calculation formulae. As any nurse would testify, if you cannot remember your medication calculation formulae, you are doomed to fail. Out of desperation, frustration and scratching my head, I tried this formula and it worked. I have been using this formulae since 1995 and it has been successful all the time. I have even modified and made it simple. This formulae is the best because it is based on a system. Just like any system, it is dependable and predictable. This will give nurses the assurance to do their work. But more importantly, it will give them the peace of mind to care for their patients. This is fun.

Peculiar Affinity: The World the Slave Owners and Their Female Slaves Made
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99The theory of peculiar affinity implies that Black people and White people in the 21st-century United States are connected by family, kinship, surnames, and genes. Peculiar affinity is profoundly implicated with racism in the United States. Peculiar affinity remained after the demise of slavery, but it transformed and adapted to the system of separate but equal. Peculiar Affinity: The World the Slave Owners and Their Female Slaves Made presents the discovery of a vital socioeconomic interconnection and interrelationship between White slave owners and enslaved Black women of the antebellum South during the second slave era of the 19th century, the domestic slave era. This interconnection and interrelationship consisted of a very strange dialectic of sex, which led to the reproduction of the bodies of the slave owners and their female slaves.
On a grand scale, and implemented on a consistent basis, this dialectic of sex transformed to a nexus of sex and reproduction of human bodies as commodities. The visual aspects appeared as a kind of veil that obscured actual family and kinship relations. In the antebellum South, the slave owner was the father, and the female slave and his wife were the mothers. The children from the slave owner’s female slave and the children from the slave owner’s wife were real and objective brothers and sisters with the same biological father.

Pirates, Privateers, and the U.S. Navy
Price range: $3.99 through $25.99The primary problem of the American Colonies in their quest to win independence from Great Britain was not the British Army, though it was formidable. Instead, it was how to deal with the overwhelming might of the British Navy. The Continental Congress had no ships and no taxing authority to fund the creation of nay in 1775. The first U.S Navy was a combination of the few merchants ships Congress was able to acquire and a large number of privateers who joined the cause of independence. The privateers were privately owned and operated by individuals and business. By the end of the war there were more than 2000 of them. The British called them pirates. From the Boston Tea Party to the battle of the U.S.S Bonhomme Richard with the British man-of-war, the H.M.S Serapis, this is their story.

Pony Ride to an Awakening: The Journey of a Mystic
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99We are closest to the Spirit at the beginning of our life, just entering incarnation from the Spirit, and at the end of our life, as we prepare to return to the Spirit. Along the way, encounters of an otherworldly kind happen to many people; by sharing them, we can find similarities among us and trust that these events are real and not imagined.
In Pony Ride to an Awakening, author Hedin E. Daubenspeck described spiritual episodes from early childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, maturity, retirement unto renunciation, and then consciousness beyond death. He presents some of his psychic experience and a few stories of his friends and family in the hope that they serve as a guide for those seeking spiritual awareness. We come from the Spirit and will return to the Spirit. There is nothing to fear from our teachers and ancestors in communicating with the Spirit to give us guidance, answer, wisdom, and vision in this often difficult earthly life experience. As we unfold our development going forward with open eyes and mind, we find that the truth unfolds and becomes more refined, like a lotus flower.
Building on personal narratives, this guide to spiritual awareness considers psychic experiences, intuition in daily life, and the mystical inner journey that can lead to self-realization.

No con las palabras hoy comprometidas de los miembros de diferentes partidos políticos. Recordando siempre que “Solo la verdad nos pondrá la toga viril”. José de la Luz y Caballero.

Portersville
Price range: $3.99 through $27.99A flicker of lightning behind a thunderhead then a deep rumble marked the approach of a storm. Selena squeezed the hand of her handsome Greek husband. Together they peered across the vastness of the Gulf of Mexico while digging their toes into the cool sand. A weathered lighthouse offshore split the darkness, casting its light across the treacherous waters.
They braced themselves against the wind gusts and pelting rain. Between lightning strikes, they watched the squall line draw nearer. A dark tendril reached skyward attaching itself to the cloud above. The waterspout danced along the outer sandbars then crashed ashore ripping and tearing before dissipating among the pines and sand dunes.
Only twelve miles to the north, hotels glowed like jewels scattered along the shoreline. Bandstands blasted out music across the bay as vacationers danced under the stars and giant oaks. Children carrying torches and nets squealed and laughed while chasing crabs in the shallow grass beds. Lovers whispered as they walked along the banks of the bay. Old people sat in the glow of lantern light on their porches reminiscing of times gone by, legends of pirates, fast schooners, floating spirits, and the lost art of voodoo. Lightning on the southern horizon gave warning that the evening was about to change.
Cy and Selena fled Greece to avoid a personal storm and protect their families. They knew that this same storm could cross the ocean and track them to Portersville. Dripping wet and chilled, they vowed never to run again.

Pricing the Profitable Sale: The Manager’s Guide to Value Pricing
Price range: $7.99 through $26.99Pricing the Profitable Sale: The Manager’s Guide to Value Pricing represents a complete revision of a prior work entitled Pricing for Profit: The Manager’s Guide to Market Oriented Pricing. Like the earlier book, its purpose is to assist corporate managers in realizing the full potential available in the product or service price as a company’s primary revenue and profit generator. The book is a radical departure from standard texts in its practical and quantitative approach. Because of its heavy use of formulas, graphs, reference tables, and pricing rules and guidelines, it will appeal primarily to marketers with a background in the sciences or engineering and less so to individuals who prefer a less rigorous treatment of the subject. A special feature of the book is three chapters devoted to price optimization techniques for determining sell prices of products or services designed to achieve maximum sales revenues, market share, or profits for the firm. Numerous examples throughout the text demonstrate the use of the material presented. Pricing the Profitable Sale should also be of interest to academia. In a business school MBA program, it could serve either as the primary text in a course on pricing or, in an advanced marketing class, as a supplement to one of the standard marketing texts.
Peter Zell grew up in Stuttgart, Germany, and Oak Park, Illinois, where he attended high school. He holds a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois. After two years of active duty with the U.S. Army Reserve, Mr. Zell was employed as an engineer by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Virginia. He subsequently left for New York City to study business administration earning an MBA degree from the Columbia Business School. There followed a successful career in marketing and sales management with diverse multinational companies, both stateside and abroad. Mr. Zell also holds a law degree and is a retired member of the Illinois State Bar Association. Since 2003, he has lived in retirement near Phoenix, Arizona.

Redistribution Of Wealth In America And Beyond – The New Civil War
$19.99This book will not serve its intended purpose unless we accept that we have been planted from the same seed. If we can agree that all of us originated first from the soil and blossomed into humans. The original seed was provided by God, if you believe there is a God, otherwise this will be: so many useless words. We are told that God formed man from the soil and gave life by breathing life into him. He then made woman by taking a rib from the man and made woman. You know the story, the original First Family. Imagine if you will, a genealogy tree large enough to have every person who ever lived, was a leaf on a branch of that tree of humanity. You and I are on that tree. I believe that an honest person can see the logic so far must agree that we are all related cousins at least. In order to understand what this means, when you hear or read about someone’s tree, that has been changed do to the element in which the live, and the things that separate us, name, color, etc., upon a closer examination of the root, you will note that we come from the same root system that originated from the first seed. The above is not designed to convince you to read my first book “Blood Bath In Jasper County, Mississippi where you will meet the amazing Cruise family, with their patriarch, James (Jim) Cruise, a man born a slave, who could read, write, and count money, who while a slave, was paid by his cousin/slave owner to work as a house carpenter, you will now realize that you are reading about your cousin, and our family story. All of us have our own “close family story”, Our story, yours and mine is continuing in this book, and the final chapter will be released in January 2024, if the Lord says so.

Reflecting On The Word Of The Lord
$3.99We Christians live in a rushed and hurried culture which our churches have accepted without thinking through the consequences. It seems that we have allowed ourselves to equate busyness with spirituality and bible study with the loudest opinion in the room.
Reflecting attempts to call us back to a matured time in Christian history when congregants did not read the Bible speedily. One of my high school English teachers used to warn us that just vocalizing words aloud was different than truly reading. This book calls us to read the Scripture, reread the Scripture, think about what we have read, and to meditate on the concepts of a passage following them throughout Scripture. By this means, we should be able to grasp a more complete understanding of the ideas the verses have presented to us.
Moreover, a slower reading and a rereading allows time for the Holy Spirit to speak to us. Often, I hear someone express that as often as they have read a certain passage of Scripture, they did not gain the newest understanding from their latest reading. Why is that?
It is because we have just called words without reflecting on them. Reflecting and meditating are old ways of studying the Word of God. You will be richly blessed by beginning and maintaining the practice. It is indeed food for the hungry Christian’s soul.

Reflections III: The Magic Beyond the Pain: The Journey, My Impact, Their Impact
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99This book reflects life-each and every one of us in our journeys as all of us inevitably end in the same place. It is our journeys, individually and those we share time and space with, along with the many souls on four legs that define the happiness inside. It is also imperative that we find ways to help the world we live in-for those many starfish that ended on the beach, and for each of those starfish that we can throw back in the water,-well, one more life we have saved. Inevitably, it is the lives we save that actually save us-aren’t they? They fill our souls with energy with that special feeling that we mean something that we actually are all connected but to live life with purpose-well that is ultimately the most fulfilling of all important feelings. To each of you I hope you fill those moments in the simplest of ways-giving back, and pay forward to become the power and energy that will save us all.

Reflections of Humanity: A Tapestry of Perceptions
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99This collection will take on different meanings at different points in time. Many of the key themes have multiple messages. This is also the case in many interpretations of the vocabulary. Everyone has an individual perception of what truth is. These works are representative of this writer’s understanding of that entity.
It is my hope that this collection will inspire the realization within each reader that the true wisdom in life is one’s ability to believe in oneself. Thus, will it become possible to accept responsibility for our own actions? Once this end is accomplished, we can, each in his own right, make beneficial changes. Many have had this same dream since the dawn of time. It is this writer’s most ardent hope that this work will find acceptance within the heart of each reader. A further hope is that these perceptions will serve as an inspiration to each to establish a positive sense of self and a more cohesive view of the people around you.
Try to set gender aside in these works. Wherever possible, substitute people and situations within your own life and the lives of the loved ones around you.

Remembering ZEOLA
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99The stories Zeola told about herself show aspects of her character that was budding at age four and five, for example learning to clean and care for her home and to beautify it. After marriage, she expressed her love for husband and children as she labored daily to take care of them. Preparing three meals daily, washing and cleaning as well as teaching and training her children to work and care for the home are all expressions of her love without using words. She loved her home and cultivated many flowers and trees on the outside. She worked hard to clean and beautify the home on the inside too. For example, she made curtains for the windows and doilies for many tabletops, cushions for chairs and tablecloths for tables. She and Brenda partnered to make quilts and bedspreads for the beds. The church and community were very important to her, and she gave herself to teaching children in Sunday School classes. She loved to sing and worked with the children’s choir at church for many years. Her devotion to Jesus Christ was shown in the zeal with which she took on tasks such as tending to the sick about her and helping those who were in some kind of need. Many of the examples I recount bring to light her service to others. She persisted in the face of multiple trials and afflictions; always getting up and trying again without giving up under their weight. When I began to think about her legacy, I rejoice as I look back over her life and realize that she developed enduring faith and Christian character through all of these things. She chose not to grow bitter because of them, but to submit to God’s will and to press toward victory that would someday be hers.

Resurrection?: Fact or Fiction? A Trial Lawyer Examines The Evidence
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are the central facts undergirding Christian faith and life. Joe Otto brings to bear his legal training in a succinct and masterful summary of the Biblical and historical evidence for the reality of these events and compellingly urges their significance for us today. This little book will both greatly encourage Christian disciples and challenge those who do not believe, are skeptics, or simply have questions, to take the step for faith. I especially liked the compendium of references to the incredibly intricate way God’s design is displayed in the small details of the natural world.

Return to Vietnam, The Memories: Facing my Demons and Coming to Terms With Them
Price range: $10.99 through $17.99When I was waiting to board the aircraft in Saigon in July 1968, following my 13-month tour of Vietnam, the last thing I would have expected was to come back to Vietnam. Not until forty-five years after the Vietnam War ended, I was dealing with nightmares, and was diagnosed with PTSD. I was encouraged by my counselor and others to write about my experiences from Vietnam. That resulted in my first book, You Are Never Alone. I started to have a better handle on my daily images, nightly dreams, and nightmares. It was about that time I began thinking about the possibility of returning to Vietnam to face my demons.
This book, “Return to Vietnam-The Memories,” Began a trip to face my demons. It was more than I expected, by meeting a VC soldier during peacetime and making friends with several gracious Vietnamese people. A cruise down the Mekong River brought memories of crossing the river during convoys. My main goal of the trip was to find the orphanage in MyTho where during a VC attack a couple of kids were killed. Having a knowledgeable tour guide that followed many leads to locate our objective worked endlessly. We saw where the orphanage was, which now was replaced with a school, but finding the last of the living nuns that worked at the orphanage in 1967 when the VC attacked and interacting with someone who was virtually there and remembered that day was overwhelming.

But then Giridhar found his true love affair with words was through his mother who held a Masters in Arts & must have fed me a handful of her thoughts, even before he made an entry into the world. Giridhar Jaded led a life of adherence until the age of 35 (did someone say mid-life?) before realizing that the voices in his head wanted an outlet ever so badly. When the floodgates opened, Giridhar found it impossible to hold the words that had started a silent revolution inside until then and a book of poetry ensued in a mere 40 days. Giridhar has a Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering & also an MBA in Information Technology. He is married to Rachna Sahu and lives in Dallas, Texas. Giridhar has sailed through living the corporate life for 13+ years & currently works as a senior QA manager in an IT company. Giridhar believes that he could live the rest of his life speaking poetically if he tried, that is. There is a camaraderie that Giridhar feels in his mind where the thoughts are constantly in a state of overflow. Besides his passion in writing, Giridhar loves to travel, cannot imagine a day without music & has a newfound vigor to be on the fitness wagon even though he slips up every now and then.

Rocks, Roots and Rattlesnakes (Revised Edition): A Geologist’s Journal: 150 Days of Discovery on the Appalachian Trail
Price range: $3.99 through $23.99Rocks, Roots and Rattlesnakes is the captivating story of my five-month 2020 journey hiking the Appalachian Trail, as told from a geologist’s perspective. It is written as a series of daily logs originally transcribed from my daily journals, then embellished with additional details resulting from further recollection and research. All of the stories are true, and many contain elements of human interest relating to the many fascinating hikers I met on my adventure. Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of doing such a trek is encountering so many interesting people along the way. My goal in assembling this book was to provide entertainment and information for two main audiences First, for those who have hiked the trail, I included stories relating to places and things all of us have seen, along with frequent observations about those mysterious rocks beneath our feet. For those new to the trail, or who have never hiked long distances, this is a glimpse into the wonders and excitement out there to be discovered, as told by just one of the many thousands of past thru-hikers. The book contains three parts with 26 chapters and reads like a journal log, capturing my challenges and experiences each day on the trail. In addition to the 240 pages of text, there are over 100 beautiful color photos, 6 figures and 6 charts. Hopefully you will find this book both informative and entertaining, as you read and enjoy my tales of 150 days of discovery on the Appalachian Trail!

Ron’s Ramblings: Characters, Critters and Us Cantankerous Rednecks
Price range: $5.99 through $19.99Big Sky Country is one of the many nicknames for the state of Montana, the place the author calls home. While Montana is a diverse state in people and in geography, north-eastern Montana is characterized by soft rolling hills and sharp coulees; scrub grass, sage brush and wild flowers cover the prairie lands and tall cottonwood, ash and willow trees shade the waterways, all outlined against skies a magnificent shade of blue which make this countryside unforgettable and unique. The people that have and still do call this place home are just as unforgettable and unique as the skies.
This is a collection of stories and tales, mostly centered around the rural area of north-eastern Montana; some are from the authors own experience, including family and local history, as well as stories of wildlife, hunting and farming, and some belong to others who have been kind enough to share their own histories and recollections.

While searching for answers, he stumbles upon a little white chicken who informs him that he has the solution. He tells Santa that he has just spoken to Prancer, the lead reindeer, and Prancer reveals to the chicken that the jingle bells that the reindeer wear when they pull the sleigh provide the magic that allows the reindeer team to fly. The chicken takes the bells to Santa and tries to convince Santa that the bells will work for him. Santa is not convinced until the chicken puts the bells on himself, and in a blink of an eye, the chicken grows to be ten feet tall. Santa then mounts the chicken and with his sack full of toys, completes his mission that night. The story is told in rhyme and is brilliantly illustrated by the author’s grandson, Louis W. Lonsway.
