Stolen Memories illustrates how Alzheimer Disease (AD) affected our family. It touches upon the not-always-perfect mother-daughter relationship and the resulting guilt. It describes how trying to separate the words of an AD patient from those of my mother created even more problems for me as her caretaker. Stolen Memories is a tool to help others recognize and come to grips with the disease sooner than we did. I hope to build an awareness of the following issues: what this disease can do to a family; how relationships can affect being a caretaker for an AD patient; the difficulties of an untrained caretaker attempting to manage an AD family member; and how important it is to ask for help.

Killing Adam is a stinging in-depth look at the abuse of aggressive anger and its malignant effects on society. This highly controversial, politically incorrect work defends good men and their rights as fathers...infuriates unenlightened women, especially male-bashers...and champions the rights and needs of our children. As author Maya Emmett reflects on major life-changing events in her personal life, she passionately explores the role of religion, the victims of victims, the true nature of Woman and so much more. Experience varying degrees of emotional highs and lows as she fearlessly delves into the truth of our struggles to peacefully coexist, culminating with a thought provoking love poem which speaks to the soul of every man from the untainted spirit of every woman. Killing Adam has successfully thrown a potential explosive into a very select and misunderstood arena, one that is jealously guarded and maintained. It is taboo to some, heresy to others, and a bitter glimmer of hope to more--in short, it is challenging, impossible for many to accept, and upsetting to a fragile status quo and ego compulsory system.

The financial services sector has had a respectable track record in the protection of consumer privacy. However, business practices, industry consolidation, electronic commerce and economic trends have raised consumer privacy as a key issue in the financial services sector. Improvements in the rapid transfer of information provide a new medium for the purchase of goods and services, that is, the medium of electronic commerce. The European Union has forced the issue with the Data Protection Directive. As a result, the United States has had to debate the lack of regulation or standards governing the new medium of electronic commerce. The debate could hinder any advance by society to engage in new technology. Because of increased government attention through regulatory and legislative action, corporations are developing self-regulatory initiatives to create industry standards for electronic commerce. Consumer privacy deals with how and what types of information are collected and how the data is controlled and accessed. Consumer concepts of privacy will resist or allow different configurations of what is allowable and what is utilized. The book is an exploratory and descriptive study that assesses the privacy concerns of today's consumer, as well as determines the potential impact of consumer privacy concerns on technological innovation and public policy. In order to understand privacy concerns, the study builds and extends current quantitative research on privacy in the financial service sector. Current research was developed to assess the privacy concerns of consumers. It was not designed to analyze or evaluate the specific impact of privacy on underrepresented consumers. The study expands research to focus on this particular segment of the population. Using privacy as the foundational issue/motivation for developing perspectives on financial education, the study focuses on people of color in the financial mainstream of our economy.

Dreams have fascinated mankind throughout the ages. Many books have been published about dream interpretation, but how can someone else decipher our dreams for us?The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of: Expanding Your Awareness Through Dreams and Daydreams, explores the idea that only the dreamer can unlock his or her dream messages, and that all of us can not only become lucid dreamers, but develop into conscious dreamers capable of working with the powers-that-be for personal growth, upliftment of others, and the Universe. These provocative and entertaining stories ponder deep questions. Do we, as divine Souls, live twenty-four hours a day? Are our dream worlds part of the true spiritual reality, a place where we can live, learn, and grow while our bodies sleep? Has the Creator given us this capacity we call dreaming to provide us a way to explore the spiritual worlds, our interconnectedness, our omnipotence?Joan M. Wolfe tells the dream stories that profoundly and favorably changed her thinking, her goals, her capacity to love, and her life. By putting focus on the dreaming process, you too may be able to similarly expand your awareness to bring deeper understanding and love into your life.

Mythology is a subject that has entertained people for thousands of years. These stories of gods and supernatural beings of the distant past are important in explaining how things came to be and are an integral part of societies. Insect myths are numerous and widespread in mythology, but have received little attention. This is the first book dedicated specifically to showing the important roles insects have played in mythology. This is a comprehensive and readable survey of insect myths from around the world. The book ranges from older, better-known insect myths such as sacred scarabs to new unpublished subjects such as insects as examples of parallel mythology. Numerous black and white figures are found in the book including new figures not previously seen in entomological literature. How insects are related to larger themes of mythology such as symbols and parallel mythology is discussed. Insects in Old World mythology (Egypt, China, etc.) and New World mythology (Native American, Mayan, etc.) are featured. This book brings to light the fascinating role that insects played in mythology and is the most comprehensive and authoritative reference on the subject.

Plastic Ozone Daydream combines fact and fantasy on a wild ride through the birth, growth, and maturity of the sports car in America during the turbulent half-century, 1950-2000. The Baby Boomers changed everything. Look deeply into the reflection. Each story has its own identity, yet each is connected to all the rest. The author and his cast of affable characters say that 1970 was the pivotal year. Are they right? Plastic Ozone Daydream should stimulate your imagination as you cruise through the nostalgic Fifties, blast through the exciting Sixties with a burst of acceleration, and bring the anguish of the Nineties to the surface when your sports car cost more than your first house. These stories describe the broadest emotions with the least words. This book should remind us all why we love our sports cars. Plastic Ozone Daydream is intended to be both fun to read and challenging to the intellect, taking the reader on a journey he never knew existed through the crossroads of his own mind.

Pink Ladies and Black Velvets wet the whistles of guys and dolls in smokey underground speakeasies and elegant hubs like the Casino in Central Park where anything goes from bootleg whiskey to half-naked chorus girls. Where red hot jazz sizzles through the night. But in October 1929, two events are about to collide: the arrival of Miss Jeri Devlin and the Stock Market Crash. In Jill Shure's new novel, Night Jazz, best described as The Great Gatsby meets Somewhere In Time, the mysterious disappearance of her brother sends successful ad executive, Jeri Devlin, to New York to find him. During her first night in The Big Apple, a strange event transports Jeri back seventy years to a magical time when the black cloud of the Great Depression was just beginning to descend over America, dulling the optimism and high times of the 1920's from the sultry speakeasies to the unimaginable wealth. Forced to adapt to her new world until she can discover a way back to her own time, Jeri absorbs every bit of 1929 from the fashions by legendary designers, to unlawful booze. Her search will ultimately lead her into the passionate arms of a mysterious and handsome gangster, and to the happiness she has always longed for.
