"... wit, charm, feeling, depth"-David Evanier, Author, The One-Star Jew and former fiction editor, The Paris Review. "These are stories Harold Ross would have chosen for the New Yorker because they are so intelligent and literate, but stories about an America he could have never envisioned. Dina Rabadi offers an honest voice about the country that evolved. They are haunting, lonely and so true."-- Vincent J. Schodolski, author and previous West Coast Bureau Chief, The Chicago Tribune Influenced by the Czech artist Mucha's series on women and seasons, the title story of Dina Rabadi's debut fiction collection follows an aging moonlight photographer's quest for success and his models' (all ordinary women) quest for a sense of beauty. Like the women in Mucha's series, each of the women represents a season-summer, fall, winter and spring and in representing seasons represents Everywoman. Other stories range in theme and setting from the questionable success of the building of the atomic bomb to a motherless Spanish boy who becomes a perfume maker in the south of France. Several of Rabadi's stories have been published in various periodicals including Fiction (2003 short story finalist.)

The #1 top-rated horror novelist on Amazon: Peter Meredith-The Apocalypse Crusade 2: Day two. Quite simply, what could go wrong did go wrong.Given the choice between assuming leadership of a situation that is pure chaos, where the National Guard is forced into a position of going to war against a trapped and possibly infected citizenry, the President chooses to punt. He knows what enforcing a quarantined zone will require: the massacre of tens of thousands of terrified people demanding to get out, and there is no way he's going to have his name and legacy sullied.Suddenly a "States Rights" champion, he leaves the situation under the control of the Governor of New York, but not before hampering the men on the lines with Rules of Engagement that are meant to sooth journalists instead of creating a possibility of victory.Tasked with the impossible, General Collins, commander of the 42nd Infantry Division is in a meeting with the Governor when the perimeter of the quarantine zone is ruptured. When his command post is overrun he's grinding his teeth, sitting in front of the President as he smiles for the cameras, makes jokes and demands answers. And in the dead of night when a hundred thousand Infected Persons slug it out toe-to-toe with the fractured remains of his division, he is the only reinforcement available to shoulder a rifle.Inside the Zone, the survivors of Day 1 are dying by the score as Dr. Lee and her friends, hopelessly fight their way from one end of the Zone to the other, desperate to escape. But there is no way out except through death at the ripping teeth of the undead. Striving to put that horrible moment off for as long as possible, she finds herself trapped alongside Anna Holloway and Lieutenant Eng-they are three scorpions in a bottle...a bottle surrounded by countless undead.

PETER COLLINS: MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY
FOOTBALL WORLD

From Belle Vue to Brisbane, Crewe to California, in a glittering 18-year career he captivated crowds wherever he rode with his spectacular dashes from the back that set hearts and pulses racing and won him every honour the oval shale sport has to offer. His 10 FIM gold medals include five World Team Cup and four World Pairs victories – more than any other English rider has ever achieved. A record 154 international England or Great Britain caps will almost certainly never be emulated. Much revered PC’s greatest individual triumph came in Slaski Stadium, Katowice, Poland on September 5, 1976. Aged 22, the former farmer’s boy from the Manchester suburb of Partington in Cheshire, swept to World Championship glory in typical all-action style that thrilled the 120,000-plus crowd and millions more watching on TV. It was the culmination of a dream inspired by his boyhood hero Peter Craven. During the 1970s and early 80s, Peter became a national hero who adorned the back pages of the UK tabloids, a true sporting superstar whose track exploits and hectic globetrotting lifestyle earned him bigger pay days than those of contemporary international footballers. In his long-awaited autobiography, Collins – the head of speedway’s most famous racing dynasty – shines a very insightful light on a magical period when his daring deeds were the embodiment of his sport’s last golden age. As well as taking readers on a long and eventful journey through his illustrious grasstrack, speedway and longtrack racing career spanning from 1970 until 1987, Peter also reveals the inside stories on major controversies – the ‘disgraceful’ tracks and freak injuries that probably cost him more major titles, possible bike sabotage, a heated row with an England team-mate, fun and fisticuffs on Down Under tours with the British Lions, rejecting a tempting offer to leave his beloved Belle Vue, and how his brief stint as the Aces’ promoter ended acrimoniously after he’d led the fight to save the world famous Manchester club from possible extinction.
For fifteen years, from 1970 to 1985, Pierre Trudeau, Peter Lougheed, and Ren L vesque were principal players in what has been dubbed the era of Canadian conflictual federalism-a period during which the nation was almost torn apart by battles over provincial versus federal powers, fueled by separatist sentiments in Quebec and fights over the sharing of profits from Alberta's vast petroleum resources. These matters escalated in 1980 with Quebec's referendum on sovereignty association and Trudeau's implementation of the National Energy Program (NEP). They came to a head during the constitutional talks between the federal and provincial governments in early November of 1981. This book tells the story of how different stages in the personal development and political lives of Pierre Trudeau and Peter Lougheed shaped their very different visions of Canadian federalism, and how these conflicting views played out in their fights over the NEP and patriation of the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms during the early 1980s. L vesque and the other premiers are not forgotten, but focusing on Trudeau and Lougheed provides a fascinating exploration of personal similarities and differences grounded in the historical, sociocultural, and political contexts of their lives. This is the story of two confident, powerful, and far from perfect men who understood themselves as having obligations to their home provinces and to Canada as a whole that only they could discharge. The consequences of their political contests and their eventual compromises continue to play out, as do their visions of Canada and what it might become. The book is structured as a dual character study of Trudeau and Lougheed that is embedded in the histories of their home provinces and country, in their childhoods and educations, and in the relationships and undertakings that marked their adult lives. It is demonstrated and argued that neither could have done what the other did. Despite their many similarities, they each exercised signature capabilities and engaged different strategies and styles from those available to the other. How these capabilities, strategies, and styles developed in the contexts of their life experiences and attempts at self-development provides a unique glimpse into the complex intricacies of modes and manners of leadership suited to particular times and places, all subject to the vicissitudes of the predictable and the unexpected. Both men and their lives come more vividly into focus through the telling of their stories in tandem.

Peter Drucker's System of Management in a Business Environment
Luther C Guynes; Michael Miller
Pyramid Press

Peter Drucker was a force of nature when it comes to the development of the managerial mindset of the latter 20th century. Like Athena emerging fully grown and dressed for battle from the head of Zeus, Druckers ideas discovered and identified a framework for a practical philosophy of business that continues to be found useful as a tool to navigate the ever changing ebbs and flows of the uncertain seas of business from the local to the international. His work has been considered important and worthy of study. The Fellows of the Academy of Management voted Drucker s 1954 book The Practice of Management the third most influential book of the 20th century. Just to review the titles of his many books from 1939 to 2008 would bring you a structure for pursuing an understanding of the philosophy of business management. Among his many ideas, he early predicted the disappearance of the blue collar worker, the importance of nonprofits for improving the community of lives of those who help and those who have been helped, the necessity to adapt to changes with eyes firmly fixed in a forward direction, and the increasing importance of the knowledge worker and the need to keep learning to adapt to the changing world. The subject is broad but the dynamics beneath the hood are organic and distinct, and deepen with more study and attention. It is hoped that this introduction to Druckers thoughts and insights will serve as an inspiration to those preparing to cultivate their future in the business world for a better tomorrow. DrLuther Guynes, Ph.D. has dedicated over 45 years to higher education as a Professor, Department Chair and Administrator. DrGuynes received his bachelors degree in Business Administration and Industrial Engineering from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Under the mentorship of Dr Peter F Drucker, he earned his Masters Degree in Economics and Business Statistics and his Ph.D. in Government Finance and Public Administration from Claremont Graduate University, Claremont California. DrPeter Drucker considered DrGuynes an outstanding student, gifted cooperative colleague and an esteemed professional. DrPeter Drucker describes DrGuynes as follows: Luther C Guynes, is probably the ablest administrator I have taught. He has compassion combined with the necessary toughness. Altogether he is one of the few naturals in administration I have met.
