Guide US On The Right Path By: Abron S. Toure Price:
$10.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-60862-401-0 Edition: Paperback, 120 Pages Publication Date: June 4, 2012 | Guides US on the Right Path is a compilation of articles.
Put together in book form for the purpose of
demonstrating the author’s consistent social and
political leanings over a period of time. The nuances of
each piece in this context suggest a bit of the
prophetic nature of the writings. The significance is
even more noteworthy because of the contemporary
implications. To this extent the author has strong
convictions and is happy to stand behind the validity of
all chapters.
There is an additional inference. A highlighted belief,
we as individual and the United States of America as a
country go through critical points in development and
that now as a people and a country we live in such a
time. As in all cases we hope for the best knowing
things are not perfect. The general credo of the book
describes the path traveled has a heavy dependency on a
lofty interpretation of grace and the significant role
it plays in the overall guidance of all things.
Interesting enough Chapter 17, “The Vedic Eight” weighed
heavily inspiring the assembling of the collection. As
much as the underlying points of this section have merit
the chapter now holds the weakest place in regards to
the confidence level about the accuracy of the theme
from a prophetic standpoint. Please take time to read
these articles and I pray the true meaning finds its
way into your heart.

LETTERS TO PRESIDENT BENIGNO AQUINO III By: PATRICIO R. MAMOT, PH.D. Price:
$18.95

ISBN: 978-1-60862-343-3 Edition: Paperback, 340 Pages Publication Date: November 10, 2011 | VOLUME I
STAY THE COURSE
Why one of the letters in this book (Letter Twenty) may
very well crack wide open the Dacer-Corbito double
murder case. It could help identify the mysterious
“BIGOTE” who allegedly gave the final order to
assassinate Salvador Dacer and his driver while they
were en route from Malacanang Palace to Manila Hotel
to confer with former Pres. Fidel Ramos. In solving
any murder mystery, one has to determine at least two
essential factors: MOTIVE and OPPORTUNITY.
In the reinvestigation of the case, the following
individuals should be asked what they know about some
aspects in the playbook of the heinous crime: Former
Presidents Fidel Ramos, Joseph “Erap” Estrada, Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo, Sen. Panfilo Lacson, former SEC
Chairman Perfecto Yasay, Jr. and businessman Dante
Tan.

I Was Just Thinkin’... One Man’s Random Thoughts About All Things American By: Fred J. Leuper Price:
$14.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-60862-221-4 Edition: Paperback, 230 Pages Publication Date: October 14, 2010 Other Editions: Hardcover | | I have had a lifelong love affair with this country and
all that it has to offer its citizens. And even though
we now find ourselves in some very troubling times,
there is no question in my mind that Americans will once
again rise to the challenge and restore the full promise
of the American Spirit. I have recorded in this book my
thoughts and feelings about some of the people, places,
and events that are now shaping our future. I hope that
by doing so it will cause people to think about what
must be done by each and every one of us to ensure that
our children and grandchildren have the opportunities
that we have had to follow our dreams. And I hope this
book will cause people to stop and think about all of
the little things that come with freedom that we
sometimes take for granted. |

Boiling Mad! Memoirs, Musings and Views of a World War II Veteran By: Sam Lembo Price:
$16.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-60862-117-0 Edition: Paperback, 259 Pages Publication Date: December 4, 2009 Other Editions: Hardcover | This book not only encompasses events in Europe with the
American GI, it takes you to my talks with Richard
Nixon, Robert Kennedy, Frank Sinatra and top music
people; and with the former Chancellor of Germany,
the King of Hungary, and German generals who helped us
win World War II. I include my meeting Otto Scorzeny,
the dashing Errol Flynn-like hero who rescued Mussolini
from captivity, who later received retribution from his
own people. Many dangers for our country lurk in the
shadows waiting to happen. This book takes you there to
caution and alert you.
This book is about truth and regard for important issues
that face our nation. These concerns should not be taken
lightly. My wish is to get the public involved in
finding a way to make a difference by making informed
choices. This book is about my life and how people
placed ambition and pride over all other values, it is
about the hatred that cost this country many lives.
There are people who stand out in my mind because they
went beyond ordinary weaknesses to stand up for what
they felt was right. They showed courage in the face
of fear and carried on bravely for their fellow man in
the name of justice and freedom.
I ask that each reader seriously consider the evidence
I present and form his or her own opinion on some
controversial issues. As I present my thoughts and
experiences, you will come to know that I place a high
value on empathy and compassion for people. My hope is
that this book will help remind you of the injustices
all around us. My mission is to keep the heroes of the
last century fresh in our minds so that their
humanitarian efforts will be passed down to our next
generation.

Obama, Are You Listening? By: Sam Lembo Price:
$14.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-60862-034-0 Edition: Paperback, 251 Pages Publication Date: April 28, 2009 Other Editions: Hardcover | This book was written with the belief, “We all can make
a difference to better the lives of others.”
My highest hope is that President Obama will make a
difference by what he does in office. I decided to write
this book in order to give him my thoughts and ideas
gained from my past experiences in a life of 85 years.
I learned a great deal about military strategy talking
with German Generals for three years. I am pictured in
this book having conversations with the Chancellor of
Germany and the King of Hungary. I majored in history
and am an ardent political analyst. Richard Nixon sat
down with me at Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts,
one day and opened my eyes to what politicians must do
to win nominations. John Volpe took my advice on his run
for Governor of Massachusetts and won in this strongly
Democratic state. He was a Republican.
In the Rock and Roll era of the 60’s I was a song
writer, record producer, music publisher and artist
manager. I discovered Freddy Cannon and his 2 million
record seller “Tallahassee Lassie.”
My book deals with public issues and war and peace for
President Obama to read and think about in his decision
making. In my previous book, President Bush, Sr. read my
chapter on why Robert Kennedy’s name should be placed on
the Department of Justice Building. After reading what I
had to say he not only placed his name there, but wrote
me a letter telling me my book would be placed in his
presidential library at Texas A&M.
Americans should thank God for blessing us with the
victory of a great person with empathy for others,
already proven by his stand for stem cell research for
the sick that need help. This man will succeed in
everything he does. His tremendous victory against all
odds has made me a believer.

America the Beautiful? By: R. Sea Price:
$10.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-59824-975-0 Edition: Paperback, 165 Pages Publication Date: December 8, 2008 | This book will bring to light the Surveys, Reports, and
Statistics to most of the growing problems we face in
America today; ranging from Church, Government,
Parenting, Schools, Drugs, Illegal Immigration, Gangs
and so much more narrated by Author R. Sea.
I’m not writing this book to praise the successful, but
rather to bring light to the growing problems that this
nation is facing, the longer we let it all slide and
consider them not to be serious problems then the longer
and larger these problems will grow. I’m not going to
sugarcoat these issues because no amount of sweetener
will overcome the bitterness of the facts.
We the people have put ourselves exactly where we are
at. From the lack of good moral values and common sense,
we now live in a country of violence, vandalism,
disrespect and drunkenness. The core of this country
has become pretty disgraceful.

THE RISE AND DECLINE OF PRESIDENT GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO By: PATRICIO R. MAMOT, PH.D. Price:
$14.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-59824-777-0 Edition: Paperback, 238 Pages Publication Date: March 24, 2008 | This book portrays a slice of Philippine contemporary
political history under the leadership of President
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. It is a critical view of her
leadership style and role. Pres. Arroyo has until 2010
to stay in power. However, due to the never-ending
corruption, which seems to be spiraling out of control,
the author observes that the Filipinos could very well
see her eventual downfall before 2010.
In January 2008, the Asia Pulse survey indicates that
Pres. Arroyo is considered even “more corrupt” than the
disgraced dictator Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos. Several
international pollsters consider the Philippines as the
“most corrupt” in Asia.
The author dedicates this book to the more than 11
million overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who are
remitting nearly US$15 billion annually to their
families they left behind. This yearly remittance
sustains the Philippine economy, which is wracked by
widespread corruption. These OFWs, who are working in
many parts of the world are considered “modern heroes”
of the Philippines.

How Old Is the House Conflicts in Science By: Royal T. McArdell Price:
$12.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-59824-463-2 Edition: Paperback, 199 Pages Publication Date: March 19, 2007 Other Editions: Adobe Ebook (read on computer only) | This book describes some of our popular scientific
theories and their related problems. It also explains
additional aspects of current science issues so that
you, the reader, can decide what to believe. Scientific
theories and answers given by the news media to science
related questions are usually reported as accepted
facts, but what is reported is not always accurate. In
addition, most news services provide only the
politically correct views on most subjects (such as
global warming) and ignore other information about these
subjects.
The Introduction is an example of a house that is either
new or is 150 years old-perhaps you can determine its
age. This is followed by a description of the Big Bang
theory and its problems, the ages of the Sun, Earth, and
Moon, and another example of an object whose age is
difficult to define. Other subjects covered are global
warming, our energy problems, the ages of the dinosaurs,
evolution, intelligent design, the accuracy of the
Bible, and simple descriptions of some related natural
laws.

The Role and Obligations of Accountants in the Development of Nigeria Chike C. Udemezue, Ph.D. Price:
$10.95
Quantity in Basket: none
ISBN: 978-1-59824-424-3 Edition: Paperback, 118 Pages Publication Date: December 31, 2006 Other Editions: Adobe Ebook (read on computer only) | This book addresses the challenges that influence the
way members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
Nigeria organize themselves and what guides their work.
Occupational interests, societal needs, the dictates of
regulatory frameworks, and the constraints of the
International Federation of Accountants affect the
professional choices of any accountant, but the
perception of Nigeria’s accountants was that personal
values had a greater influence on their attitudes toward
their work than the desire for job satisfaction. The
theme that emerged from the qualitative data was that
family, ethnic, religious, and tribal ties were often
more important to this group than professional
activities.
Nigerian accountants, then, experience different
problems and face different challenges from those in the
developed economies of Europe, United Kingdom countries,
North and South America, and Asia. This study will
present observations and recommendations that will
impact the social change processes of Nigeria and other
developing countries as they move toward their national
and economic development goals.
