Reading and Speaking about Russian Newspapers is a textbook for advanced-level Russian language students. Newspaper articles of general interest serve as the basis for numerous exercises intended to help the student gain an active knowledge of the vocabulary and phraseology characteristic of written and spoken Russian and essential for reading and communicating in Russian at an advanced level. Special attention is devoted to word formation and the use of new vocabulary and phraseologies in their typical contexts.  A review vocabulary list at the end of each lesson indicates words the student is expected to master in each lesson, and a cumulative vocabulary list at the end of the text shows where each item occurs. The grammatical supplements to the text (the basic meanings of verbal prefixes, the basic types of Russian verbs, and a thorough review of the formation and use of verbal adverbs and adjectives) provide the necessary reference material for this text.  The accompanying workbook contains written homework exercises for the reinforcement of new material in each lesson. Previous editions of this text have been received favorably by Russian language instructors both in the USA and in Russia.

Bankruptcies impose a social cost approaching $125 billion a year on the nation. We all pay higher prices to offset bad debt losses & higher taxes because bad debt expenses reduce income tax revenues. The Commission on Bankruptcy Laws reported that the system is dominated by rings that embrace judges & lawyers specializing in bankruptcy. It recommended stripping bankruptcy judges of their administrative duties. Congress rejected reform because the Commission did not expose a bankruptcy ring. This book describes a bankruptcy ring that victimized creditors to benefit a fraudulent bankrupt. The author believes that a San Jose bankruptcy judge acted illegally when he continued to administer a bankruptcy estate after the bankrupt admitted net worth of $685,000. After raising a constitutional issue in bankruptcy court, the author was frustrated by a pattern of judicial cover-up by over 50 judges & justices who affirmed the orders of the bankruptcy court. In every bankruptcy, the bankruptcy judge violates the constitutional separation of powers. In 1794 the Supreme Court invalidated a law that imposed administrative duties on the courts. This hard-hitting, well-documented book reveals what's broken & how it can be fixed. It advocates drastic reform of our bankruptcy, judicial & legal systems.

Mere Christianity is one of the best books of Christian apologetics ever written. Arguably, no book other than the Bible itself has had as much influence for the cause of the gospel over the past 60 years. The story of how that message came to be created, during the rigors of World War II in England, is fascinating in and of itself. But it also addresses a very important question: How do we present the gospel effectively to a culture that has Christian foundations but has become largely secularized and ignorant of biblical truth? C. S. Lewis &amp; Mere Christianity develops the circumstances of Lewis’s life and the inner workings of the BBC. It also goes into greater detail about life in the middle of war against Nazi Germany, and Lewis’s series of broadcasts that extended into 1944.

Governments are dysfunctional, wasteful and often corrupt yet we need government to support the infrastructure and services that are the foundation of our economies and culture. Why don't we have good government that effectively serves us, its people? It is a governance issue. Governance is a confusing and very misunderstood subject that is at the root of both organizational performance and accountability. Governance is fascinating, very poorly understood broadly, and a substantial influence on global economic and political issues. Governance is the structure, relationships and processes of authority, responsibility and accountability in a business, organization or government.
Governments are servants that will serve whoever effectively controls their accountability, their governance. Gang Politics is a book written about government and politics from a governance perspective analyzing why government dysfunction happens and perhaps help us understand what we can collectively do to ensure our governments serve us, its people.
