CONTROL

CONTROL is all around us - between husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, parents and children, teachers and students, and bosses and employees. Even though LaMont Prospect earned a Bachelor's Degree in English, a Master's Degree in Social Work and a Doctorate in School Psychology, this book does not preach or tell people what to do or how to live their lives. It has no psychological jargon or textbook language. If someone was to say "you need to do A, B, C and D with your life," that would be controlling. Of the 44 chapters, thirty-four are real stories about real people and how the need for control ruined their lives and the lives of others around them. The other 10 chapters are about entities that try to control people. While some of these entities may seem rather obvious, most forms of control are very subtle. The goal is to help readers recognize unhealthy forms of control and how to deal with it. --- About LaMont Prospect LaMont Prospect was born in Racine, WI. After earning a BA in English (UW-Madison, 1981), he worked in the Racine Theatre Guild where he landed leading roles in "The Drunkard," "A Bed Full of Foreigners," and "The Three Cuckolds". Upon returning to Madison to complete a minor in Theatre/Arts, he was cast as William Shakespeare in an MFA production of "Dark Lady of the Sonnets." For a brief time, he worked professionally in the improv comedy group "The Ark" (Joan Cusack among its cast members) and subsequently appeared in three independent films: "Momma's Boy," "Tagged," and "An Addict for my Addictions." --- Prospect's acting career was side-tracked, however, when the demands of a family business took him to Florida to manage a 40-acre orange grove. Eventually, he moved to Milwaukee to work in the family travel agency which afforded him the opportunity to visit Japan, Taiwan, China, Italy, Greece, England, Portugal, Kenya, Canada, and the Netherlands. --- After leaving the family business, Prospect earned an MS in Social Work (UW-Milwaukee, 1993), and also co-authored the article "Behavioral Profiles of Pre-School, Latency, and Teenage Female Incest Victims" (Child Abuse and Neglect) with Professor Elizabeth Sirles. He completed his PhD in School Psychology (Loyola University of Chicago, 1999), with his dissertation-"Raising Math Scores on the Illinois Goals Assessment Test"-involving 1200+ children in the Chicago Public Schools. Licensed in both School Psychology and School Social Work, Prospect has been employed as a School Psychologist in the Milwaukee Public Schools for the last 10 years, where he has worked with hundreds of students, teachers, principals and parents both in regular and special education. --- In 2008, Prospect published CONTROL - A Book About People With An Excessive Need to Control Other People Or Things And About People Who Allow Themselves to Be Controlled By Other People And Things. Prospect has been exhibiting CONTROL all over the U.S. at such places as the NY Center for Independent Publisher's Book Fair, the LA Times Festival of Books Fair, and the Printer's Row Chicago Book Fair.

Keep the peace... by order of the Emperor, Tiberius Caesar More than fourteen hundred miles from the seat of government, under-manned and under-financed, a veteran Roman officer is assigned to maintain order and keep the peace in Judea. Roman Centurion Gaius Julius Comminus struggles to fulfill his duty against a madman who haunts the roads of Zion bent on the murder and plunder of Roman citizens. Complicating, possibly even compromising the investigation, is the political intrigue of the times and secret mutterings of rebellion spawned by the ministry of a young rabbi from Nazareth. Is he the Messiah, a son of David, prophesied to restore Israel? Peace, it seems, is not going to come easy. ".....You'll never be the same afterwards." "Who better to write the story of an ancient police officer than a contemporary one? In All Roads Lead to Zion, retired police Lt. Wm Edmunds uses his skills of today to research and write the gripping tale of Gaius Julius Cominus, the Roman Centurion who obeyed the order to crucify Jesus the Christ. March the streets of Jerusalem, taste the dust, see the agony, suffer with a man who lived his life in the military and was forced by duty to take part in the most cataclysmic event in history. Edmunds will take you there, and like Gaius, you'll never be the same afterward." Lauraine Snelling Best selling author of The Red River Series, Daughters of Blessing, Breaking Free and more

The Blood Pressure Miracle is a unique, all-natural system for lowering your blood pressure that is not based on a single approach such as stress reduction, or herbs or special foods or exercise. It’s actually a combination of methods that have been scientifically proven to work, complied into one comprehensive lifestyle program. You will be surprised at how many options you have: Simple lifestyle changes, inexpensive natural supplements and even regular foods you can buy at your local grocery store have all been proven to improve heart health and reduce blood pressure. When you combine these strategies all together as in The Blood Pressure Miracle, the results are multiplied (and it probably explains why, if you tried a single natural remedy in the past, it did very little or nothing at all).

This inspiring and true adventure story is about the author and her husband’s journey to find beauty and meaning on the little known Island of Lefkas. The realistic descriptions of the people and places in the evocatively Greek environment take you right there with them, sharing in this heart-warming venture. The text moves along at a comfortable pace, and the prose is vivid and full of memorable images that contrast the Island’s beauty with their traveling hardships. Follow them on their journey and find out if they found the secret of true happiness, or were they merely chasing dreams? Note from the author: I wrote this book because I wanted to share some unforgettable experiences with other dreamers who might not have had the opportunity to 'opt out of the rat race' the way my husband, Tony and I did in 1991. It was a way out of a depressing situation when Tony was made redundant shortly before his 50th birthday. When you have reached rock bottom there is nowhere else to go, but up. When you lose all material things sometimes if you are determined you can overcome all difficulties, but you have to have a dream and follow it. Then you can gain so much more. Because we live in a pre-planned society rare opportunities are often missed. It is only when we look back we wonder why we never saw them at the time. Why did we hesitate? Why did we lose our dreams? Maybe in the great scheme of things there is a reason for everything. Maybe the drastic change in our circumstances was an opportunity for us to find our dream and have the adventure of a lifetime... This is what I want to share in the hope that it will help people in today's economic crisis to take on a challenge, to find a dream and do something that they might never have done. Then they can look back and say, "I'm glad we had that recession."

Nick Lane & Toni Dietkus try to survive in a fantasy, "a cabin on a mountain in Montana." Finally broke and there not being local jobs, they jump into trucking-long hauling across the USA. From the passenger seat Toni writes of events and sketches scenes from the road in letters to a friend (who saves them all). These on the- spot letters become Riding Shotgun In An 18-Wheeler. Toni Dietkus raised her family in affluent Seattle, WA but always desired the simple life. Not publishing as a writer of fiction, she turned to writing and illustrating what she did know: daily life as a mountain woman/trucker. ]

Dr. Ean Stromberg, Professor of Archeology, has spent his lifetime studying the Mayan civilization to understand why this Central American empire mysteriously vanished. Theories abounded but none rang true. The mystery obsessed him -- why, one thousand years ago, were their wondrous cities abandoned, seemingly obliterated overnight? This civilization flourished for centuries untold, producing temples and monuments to rival ancient Egypt. Now only a plethora of jungle-covered ruins remain to remember the tens of millions of proud Mayans and their sophisticated culture swallowed by the shadowy past. The mystery taunted Stromberg's scientific mind, it was almost eerie. On the verge of retirement, he finds a faded photograph of a wall painting in an ancient Mayan tomb. In its disturbing images of agony and death, he sees the semblance of a map. Dropping everything, he sets off on a shoestring expedition. The map leads him to El Mirador, a two thousand year old Mayan city buried in the Guatemalan jungle. Here the answer he finds unwittingly unleashes a horrifying scourge on our cities and streets. As the ghostly past reaches across time, we see the ancient Mayan shamans as they suffer their vengeful god, Chaka, incarnating from the underworld to consume them. The author was born and raised in Southern California where he still resides with his family. After receiving a degree in philosophy from Long Beach State University, he entered the transportation industry in which he is still active in a senior management capacity.

Have you ever come across a publication that is truly objective in its view of creationism versus evolution? MAN AND HIS PLANET: An Unauthorized History is such a work. It examines both sides of the controversy by employing each side’s supporting arguments to refute its own conclusions. An extraordinary alternative fills the resulting void. It also presents an astonishing picture of earth’s history, dealing at length with natural electrical phenomena occurring in antiquity and recorded in ancient documents, the Bible among them. Such phenomena would not be obvious to the typical anthropologist or historian. But thanks to his electrical engineering background and an unfettered perspective, Strickling has shed a surprising new light on a number of ancient texts. This book will change the way you view the world without insulting or contradicting your religious convictions. You will walk away with a newly enlightened outlook of earth’s ancient past
