A poet often writes about the world around him/her or the world within. This is where the inspiration comes from, where his/her perspective and imagination are colored. When a dog or two, (or three or four), enters a poet's life, either by choice or by accident, they tend to sneak into the poet's poems, either as the subject or part of the landscape of the poem, like a bark in the distance or a low howl at your feet begging for a bone. For Ronald j Palmer, these are those poems.Dogged is a tender celebration of the bond between human and dog, an elegant lament to nature, time, and canine companions who have passed on, like the melting snow. A rumination on love, sorrow, and letting go. Poems are brought together by daily walks, small everyday moments and observations that become higher meditations on life and why we must choose to keep it meaningful. A fine read.-Jeanne Lutz, poet and editor of the anthology After the Equinox. Ron Palmer's poetry Dogged is an enjoyable read for animal lovers. His poetry captures the love and life we share with our pets. It is relatable to all and comforting to those who are grieving for man's best friend. These poems are an easy read, playful, and warm.

Ronald Reagan On January 20, 1981, Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as the 40th president of the United States. That same day, the Americans who had been held hostage in Iran were released. For many Americans, the juxtaposition of those events was no coincidence. Ronald Reagan was the president they elected to restore their country's sagging influence in the world and disappointing image at home. He was a president who believed in a United States that was truly, as he said in his farewell address, "a shining city." He believed in the myth of American greatness, and for a nation that was still numb from Watergate, immersed in economic stagnation, and humiliated by international events, he made it believable. Inside you will read about... - The Small Town Boy - Reagan's Hollywood Career - The Governor's Race - The Assassination Attempt - Reagan and the Evil Empire - The Alzheimer's Diagnosis And much more Ronald Reagan would remain the man who beat the Russians and ended the Cold War, changing the composition of the globe with his conservative politics and his passionate idealism. Even through Reagan's political trials, the Iran-Contra hearings, the mixed results of his economic policies known as Reaganomics, and the military build-up that swelled the national debt, the nation saw him as the man who restored the country to its rightful place as a leader among nations.

"...In the last two decades we've experienced an onslaught of such twisted logic that if Alice were visiting America, she might think she'd never left Wonderland..."-President Ronald Reagan - September 25, 1982 Ronald Reagan's Adventures in Wonderland answers the question: What experience might the most emblematic figure of classic American values have in present-day America? Reagan in Wonderland is a fan-fiction literary mashup tribute placing 40th US President Ronald Reagan in the place of Alice in Lewis Carroll's beloved Alice in Wonderland; literature's most-legendary whimsy starring the world's most-legendary president. Alice's frustrations in the nonsensical world of Wonderland are a perfect metaphor for Reagan-era values seemingly at odds with our nation's current political expressions, both conservative and liberal. As Alice never seemed to "fit" in Wonderland, nor would it seem President Reagan fit in the seismic chaos of modern-day cultural faultlines. Through Alice's words, however, the late president and Great Communicator is a granted a voice once again. And in this modified rendering, featuring 42 original and Reagan-ized illustrations, The Gipper has a lot to say. Is this book a mere Alice in Wonderland with Ronald Reagan in Alice's place? Nay, friend; it is so much more: Ronald Reagan fans and historians alike will revel at the Reagan trivia and references which trickle down throughout the book. The original British English of Carroll's text has been converted to American English because America is the Undefeated World War Champion (also, for readability). Where Alice's age is referenced, Mr. Reagan here is presented during his presidency. As such, even Vice President Bush makes an appearance For the ultimate Ronald Reagan fan, collector of Alice in Wonderland ephemera, or anyone who enjoys a thoughtful read, Ronald Reagan's Adventures in Wonderland is a fun mashup that is not only hysterical, but topical, too.
"This is either the funniest dirty book or the dirtiest funny book ever written " -Isaac AsimovSomewhere around 1969 I began to grow dissatisfied with the underlying principle of most novels---that a disembodied voice in the first or third person was telling us a story. I liked the idea of novels passing themselves off as documents, and drew inspiration from Mark Harris's WAKE UP, STUPID, and Sue Kaufman's DIARY OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE, the first ostensibly a collection of letters, the second, duh, a diary. (One could, of course, go back further, to the very beginnings of the English novel in the works of Daniel Defoe and Samuel Richardson.)I also found myself interested in writing with greater candor about sexual topics. I had knocked out dozens of soft-core paperbacks, and wanted to try anew with greater freedom and more realism.I wrote three paperback original novels for Berkley under the pen name Jill Emerson, two of them in diary form, the third a presumed collaborative novel written in concert by the three viewpoint characters. These were fun to do and worked out well, and they led to RONALD RABBIT IS A DIRTY OLD MAN. I riffed on the experience of my friend George Dickerson, who like the novel's protagonist had the magazine he was editing folded out from under him; George went on reporting to his empty office for several months, until they found him out when they noticed he'd stopped using his expense account. (A man of many talents, George went on to serve as a reporter for Time Magazine for several years, then segued into a career as an actor; he had a principal role in Blue Velvet.) I spliced in an experience of my own, when I drank for hours at the Kettle of Fish on Macdougal Street, emerging only to be picked up by a carful of rich Catholic schoolgirls from the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Noroton, Connecticut, who essentially kidnapped me and drove me back to school with them. These things happen.I wrote the book in four furious days in an apartment on West 35th Street. I did so thinking it would be another pseudonymous paperback, and that no doubt gave me the freedom to write it as I did; after it was written, the friends who read it liked it so much that I was persuaded to publish it as a hardcover novel, and under my own name. My agent sent it to Bernard Geis, a quirky publisher whose editor-Don Preston-loved the book. Bernie had offices on two floors in midtown Manhattan, and had installed a fireman's pole in case one wanted to get from 9 to 8 in a hurry. All I recall of Don is he told me to avoid seeing Carnal Knowledge, which he hated, and that I must hurry to see McCabe and Mrs.Miller, which he loved. Once I'd managed to sit through McCabe and Mrs. Miller, I knew I'd love Carnal Knowledge.Around the time Ronald Rabbit was published, Bernard Geis slid into Chapter Eleven. I can't think this had a salutary effect on sales. Martin Levin in the New York Times Book Review pointed out that the book was written in the form of a series of letters, which was also the case with Richardson's Pamela, generally acknowledged to be the first English novel. And that, Mr. Levin said, was as much as he had to say on the subject.Well, that's fair.I had the publisher send a copy to Isaac Asimov, whom I'd met a few times over the years. "That's either the funniest dirty book or the dirtiest funny book I've ever read," Isaac told me. "That would make a wonderful blurb," I said. "Over my dead body," he replied.Well, okay. Isaac's been gone over 25 years now, and while I wish he were still around, he's not. And so I'll just remember him fondly, and thank him for giving Ronald Rabbit is a Dirty Old Man a helping hand, all these years later.
Forty years after Ronald Reagan’s successful re-election campaign, this book explores the significance of the year 1984 in the making of Reagan’s presidential record and the shaping of his legacy. The authors examine the broader context of how Reagan impacted the nature of the US presidency and international relations during the Cold War, and how this in turn interacted with American popular culture. Serving as an introduction to academics, students and the interested public into what is a rapidly increasingly Reagan scholarship, this book will also appeal to anyone interested in US elections, the evolving nature of the US presidency, and American culture more generally.

Ronald Coase gehört zu den maßgeblichen Pionieren der komparativen Institutionenökonomik. Er hat unter Beweis gestellt, wie fruchtbar die Kategorie der Transaktionskosten eingesetzt werden kann, um neue Fragen zu stellen und innovative Antworten zu geben. Der Einfluß seines Transaktionskosten-Ansatzes reicht von der Firmen- und Organisationstheorie über die Theorie der Eigentumsrechte und die Theorie umweltrelevanter Externalitäten bis hin zur neuen Wissenschaftsdisziplin 'Law and Economics', die Ronald Coase mit aus der Taufe gehoben hat.Der vorliegende Band gibt einen Überblick über den Coase-Ansatz, seine Anwendungsbreite und interdisziplinäre Ausstrahlungskraft. Damit wendet er sich an all diejenigen, die an den theoretischen Grundlagen demokratischer Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftspolitik interessiert sind. Die hier versammelten Referate und Korreferate untersuchen die institutionenökonomischen Schriften von Ronald Coase unter dem Blickwinkel, welche Bedeutung ihnen für Fragen der wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnis und politischen Steuerung moderner Gesellschaften zukommt: Welchen Beitrag liefert der Transaktionskosten-Ansatz zum besseren Verständnis und zur Gestaltung des Institutionensystems demokratisch verfaßter Marktwirtschaften?

When Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980, limits on NASA funding and the lack of direction under the Nixon and Carter administrations had left the U.S. space program at a crossroads. In contrast to his predecessors, Reagan saw outer space as humanity’s final frontier and as an opportunity for global leadership. His optimism and belief in American exceptionalism guided a decade of U.S. activities in space, including bringing the space shuttle into operation, dealing with the 1986 Challenger accident and its aftermath, committing to a permanently crewed space station, encouraging private sector space efforts, and fostering international space partnerships with both U.S. allies and with the Soviet Union. Drawing from a trove of declassified primary source materials and oral history interviews, John M. Logsdon provides the first comprehensive account of Reagan’s civilian and commercial space policies during his eight years in the White House. Even as a fiscal conservative who was hesitant to increase NASA’s budget, Reagan’s enthusiasm for the space program made him perhaps the most pro-space president in American history.
