Envision a world without poverty or economic oppression-a place where humankind can attain its potential amidst the weightlessness of true freedom. Imagine the United States, and the rest of the world, without hunger or homelessness where educated societies enjoy all the fruits of their labor. In such a society it would not be necessary to hand over your hard-earned dollars to the government in payment of ever-increasing taxes. Such a vision is no doubt utopian, but Jacques Jaikaran introduces us to a radical economic reorganization of what is now a debt culture and proposes a monetary revolution the results of which would virtually eliminate debt as we know it. 
Debt Virus deals with the anatomy and physiology of money, the lifeblood of commerce and industry and hence the economy. Jaikaran points out a monetary error at the root of our cyclical economic problems and prescribes a cure that promises to benefit all mankind.

This practical, "user friendly" book provides exercises and activities focusing on the whole student to help develop the behaviors and attitudes necessary for success in college.

User-friendly exercises in these areas are coupled with information and activities in academic skill areas (motivation, lecture note-taking, time management, reading effectiveness, control of learning environment, concentration, memory, test- taking, managing test anxiety, and writing skills) to provide a comprehensive and integrated guide to academic success. The book is written with all students in mind, those with effective as well as those with poor study skills. The basic premise is that all students can profit from a review of their study behaviors. The book is practical and easy to use. Its expectations are realistic. The College Success Book provides students with a wide array of skills that will lead to success in college and beyond.

Spring Winds of Beijing is a vivid and passionate account of the events in Beijing during the spring of 1989. The reader "takes to the streets" to mingle with the people from the early days of exhilaration through the silence of horror that enveloped the city following the Tiananmen Massacre. Giving voice to the ordinary Chinese people--the laobaixing--Spring Winds of Beijing provides insight into the social, economic, and political problems of modern China, while recounting the dramatic effects of the student movement on government and student leaders. Above all, it pays tribute to the character and courage of the Chinese people. Most foreigners in China have limited access to the Chinese people. Government authorities have assumed them to be spies. Each group then sees a different side of China with their impressions drawn from their restricted contact. Gail Copeland has had the advantage of living and traveling in China as a member of a business delegation, a potential investor, an independent traveler, a student, and a writer. Her various experiences, coupled with a gregarious nature and a warm personality, have earned her the friendship and trust of Chinese from all walks of life.

The Cost-Effective Organization addresses two related subjects: how to conduct a thorough analysis of an organization to identify and eliminate unnecessary expenses and how to ensure that those expenses don't creep back into the organization's budget, once it has gone through the difficult and painful process of cost reduction. Hickel discusses the need for vigilant management and the cooperation of all employees of a company during all phases of the business cycle. Human factors are important in the business cycle since, when times are good, there is a tendency to overspend, and when times are bad, there is a tendency to pull back. The negative effects of these cycles on the quality and timeliness of the work soon becomes intolerable to managers, employees, and most important, to customers. The success of such a program leads to higher pay and greater job satisfaction for everyone in the company.

Meet Barry Ladd, a family physician who practiced medicine for thirty years in a small town in Illinois. He calls it "Our Town," because the residents, including himself, so personally identified with the community. The people were mostly farmers and mill hands who worked in nearby industry. They were, until recently, comparatively isolated. The population grew by reproduction rather than by immigration. 
The typical pattern was to marry your high school sweetheart, move to a house three blocks from mama, and make babies. These children, in turn, grew up and repeated the cycle. In the thirty years that Ladd practiced in "Our Town," he delivered fifteen hundred babies and recorded one hundred and eighty thousand office visits. He delivered the babies of the babies, and took care of four generations in the same family. During his career, Ladd was a participant and an observer. He saw how personal events and decisions played out over time. He tells his readers what he! saw, heard, and felt. These are all true stories. Some are composites of several people. The names have been changed. Come, make the rounds with Dr. Ladd. But come quietly, please, you are an observer!

Bob Schwartz reminds us of the necessity, no matter how harried or confusing things are, to appreciate the humor in the day-to-day nature of family life. Bob gives parents a reason to laugh as he navigates the unexpected twists and turns of parenthood every mom and dad has experienced — such as that feeling of panic when you hear the toilet being flushed and immediately followed by your child’s less than reassuring yell of "Uh-oh!" Or the admonition to your five-year-old of, "No, you can’t have the leftover cotton candy for breakfast, even if you do pour milk over it." 
 Perhaps parents also need the reassurance that Bob offers. In looking back on his initial years of parenthood, Bob writes, "There was one word that sprang to mind — Naïve. That’s French for ‘Buddy, you don’t even have a clue.’ " If you, like Bob, are entirely clueless at the beginning of parenthood, there’s hope for the future. 
 For while imparting crucial information to his children like "the shower curtain goes inside the bathtub; don’t put marbles into the garbage disposal, and it’s not a great idea to see how many peas you can stick up your nose," Bob did learn things like how to navigate the challenging world of school carpool pickup without infuriating the power hungry fifth grade Safety Patrol. And you, like Bob, might also make some headway with the linguistic parental challenge of cracking the grunt communication code of teenagers. Bob Schwartz tackles these problems and more. He tells us that the purpose of his essays is to have us embrace the humor of parenthood and the fun of family life. "Let laughter be the fuel for this thrilling, and yes indeed, sometimes pandemonium-producing journey."
