Barack Obama created history by being the first African American President of United States; something which no one could achieve before. He laid the biggest milestone in the journey-path of African Americans, who began it in 1619 as slaves. After that it was a tireless and difficult journey towards excellence, and winning their rights. Barack proved what he announced, “Yes we can.” This slogan became a wave of Obama-mania across the United States, and a new hope surging through the nation. This book records every step of the journey of Barack Obama, right from his childhood. This book has been widely appreciated and recommended for reading in American schools, as an authentic source of modern history. An additional section of this book records the history of the other 43 Presidents of United States. The need of this collector’s item does not get over with time; it is a book which should be in every American home, due to its timeless relevance. It remains as important 10 years later, as it is today.

	Responding to Crisis Situations Confronting Today’s African-American Youth Price: $12.95 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 978-1-60862-082-1 Edition: Paperback, 183 Pages Publication Date: August 13, 2009
By: Reverend Dr. James R. Gibbs, Jr. The book is a “how to” create a community-wide awareness from a multi-cultural, interdenominational, holistic, and theological perspective for at-risk and troubled youth(s). It is based on my experiences as a Christian educator, youth counselor and pastor. Through personal witness of African-American youths, I have experienced first-hand and swallowed the bitter pill of poverty, violence, victimization and homicide. African-American youth(s) are statistically the greatest perpetrators of crime in the communities, and the lowest academic achievers. It is my hope to create a greater community-wide awareness at a time when society will see black youth(s) beyond the playing field and look for the real role models in their respective communities such as; teachers, pastors, mothers, fathers, and grandparents. In my book, I will place greater emphasis on the role of parenting and education in influencing youth(s) to partake in activities which will hone their abilities and create positive outlooks on life. The active involvement of various organizations, schools and individuals could hasten the achievement of these goals; for unity leads to revolutionary reform. Interpersonal violence has a dramatic impact on the health of American youth(s). Homicides, the salient and easily measured impact, account for one of every five deaths among youths, ages fifteen to twenty-four and 58 per cent of deaths among black males fifteen to nineteen. From 1985 through 1990, firearm homicide rates increased 141 per cent for all fifteen-to-nineteen year olds and nearly tripled among black males in this age group. Positive Adolescent Choices Training (P.A.C.T.) designed specifically for African-American male and female adolescents, applies cognitive training methods in small group settings in six skill areas. Elementary school teachers (preferably), select students for participation based on social skill deficiencies, problems with aggressive behavior, or history of victimization. Training is provided twice a week in fifty minute sessions for half of the school year. PACT volunteers will facilitate the training and are aided by a high-quality video tape that demonstrates the skills in realistic situations.

A forgiving heart and positive regard summarizes the message of this profound book about what it means to give and receive unconditional love in a relationship. A book of love and knowledge, Unconditional Love: What Every Woman and Man Desires in a Relationship by psychotherapist, Dwayne L. Buckingham, is a profound and inspiring treatise that equips readers to discover their love style and to initiate and sustain meaningful relationships built on unconditional love. Enlightening and on-point, this self-discovery and relationship guide clarifies the difference between love and lust; love and unconditional love, and it asks some profound questions: Does love hurt? Is love enough to sustain relationships? Is it possible to love unconditionally? And, do styles of love affect an individuals’ ability to give and receive unconditional love? In eleven mind-blowing and inspiring chapters, the author explores perceptions and challenges about giving and receiving unconditional love to move readers from guarded hearts and fear to a place where unconditional love enables them to forgive others and demonstrate positive regard in their relationships. Beginning with a captivating chapter, “Why does love hurt?” the author further pushes the envelope in “Be Realistic” and “Love without Limits.” He instructs readers to look at their self-preserving mindsets and behaviors objectively and learn to identify thoughts and actions that inhibit or prevent them from giving and receiving unconditional love. Here it is, giving and receiving unconditional love is only possible if each of us learns to love as God loves us.
	EZ Pass Step 3 CCS - The Efficient USMLE Step 3 CCS Review - Second Edition Price: $34.95 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 978-1-60862-043-2 Edition: Paperback, 334 Pages Publication Date: May 25, 2009
By: Alireza B. Esfahane, M.D. The purpose of this book is to help you spend less time memorizing all the details you will need to do well on the CCS (Computer-based Case Simulations) questions in your exam. This exam requires significant time, energy and concentration, and the mnemonics provided in this book will allow you to remember all the steps for managing a patient’s care in an emergency room, inpatient or office setting so that you can answer questions quickly and accurately—saving your precious time and energy by helping you better manage the examination experience. Efficiency is key to a successful examination experience, so familiarity with the USMLE CD software will be crucial. Know the normal values and their cut-off points for the most widely used lab tests and don’t type everything out in the ordering window. Inputting the first 3 to 5 letters will bring up matching terms for you to select. You can also use abbreviations, like TSH and CXR instead of thyroid stimulating hormones and chest X-ray as another way to save time when answering questions. There may be a few cases on the exam that you have never encountered, but don’t panic; just follow the steps and manage the patient in the appropriate setting (the office or emergency room)—ordering labs, imaging and meds as you go. If you handle the patients appropriately you will be fine, even if your final diagnosis is not correct or it seems that the patient’s condition deteriorates. The CSS portion of the exam is more about memorization than being a good doctor. Memorization of the steps you must follow to treat each patient in each case is of primary importance. The methods I have described in this book will help you master these steps so that you can execute them efficiently and, paired with diligent practice using the software provided by the USMLE, will contribute greatly to your success on the CCS questions.

	Understanding Islam - The Persian Imprint By: Francis Taghert Price: $17.50 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 978-1-59824-888-3 Edition: Paperback, 66 Pages Publication Date: January 20, 2009
To an American public opinion, anchored in the belief that Islam is all Arab, “Understanding Islam - The Persian Imprint” demonstrates it to be off the mark. The truth is that Iran (the Persia of old) fractured Islam’s identity twice: causing it to be non Arab, first; and provoking its schism later. Further, the World identifies Islamic Men of Science, and their stellar achievements, as Arab whereas, in fact, they were all Persian and Turkomen. A book whose time has come.

This is a story of fantasy and hard cold facts beginning with a pizza party given by the “Big Fat Cat” prima donna of the microbe family. The party was given in honor of Albus, the Colonel’s offspring. Guests were the Streptococci, Pnemococci, Gonococci, Meningococci, Diphtheria, E. Coli, Typhoid, Dysentery, Tetanus and Botulinum. TB used a cellphone to call in sick, because a human he had infected with TB returned the favor as a carrier and infected TB with Tuberculosis. Music suddenly split the air with Beethoven’s 3rd Sonato in Asia Minor.

Cognitive therapy and self-empowerment go hand in hand in this powerful treatise of what it means to be a modern Black woman. For all of its power, A Black Woman’s Worth: My Queen and Backbone by psychotherapist and activist Dwayne L. Buckingham is a surprisingly candid and succinct treatise that shows readers how to initiate meaningful inner dialogue and change to transform themselves—and their communities. Positive and uplifting, this self-improvement guide is not without controversy, and it asks some hard-hitting questions: Are today’s Black women’s values different than our ancestors? Are Black women the backbone of the Black community? And, are today’s Black women worthy of being called Queens? In six fully annotated chapters, the author examines history, sociology, and Biblical inferences to transport readers to an esoteric and concrete place where a proud African-American tradition meets the modern world that has witnessed Black communities corrupted by indifference and neglect. Beginning with a thoroughly refreshing chapter, “Transformed by Knowledge and Wisdom,” the author further pushes the envelope in “Change Your Attitude” and “Love Yourself Unconditionally.” He directs readers to look at mindsets, typecasts, and history in a whole new light, which proves to be as empowering as it is informative. Here it is, the truth that each of us is a part of history and each of us has an opportunity to make history.

	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.

	Soft Fur and Iron Men By: Professor Aaron Robert Woodard Price: $16.95 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 1-59824-239-3 Edition: Paperback, 304 Pages Publication Date: June 7, 2006 Other Editions: Adobe Ebook (read on computer only)
A History of the Fur Trade in South Dakota and the Upper Missouri In this fascinating study, Professor Aaron Woodard sheds new light on an old subject - the fur trade in the Upper Missouri. Concentrating particularly on his own state of South Dakota, Woodard weaves a tale of international intrigue, vicious Indian fights and heroic mountain men. Woodard uses government documents and primary evidence to illustrate the grave danger confronting the American fur trading fraternity during the War of 1812. Woodard notes that but for the resolute actions of individual mountain men, the Upper Missouri could well have become another English colony, while the United States as we know it today would never have been created. Woodard also examines the key role played by Native Americans as the fur trade became big business. Indians were not simply tricked into trading with whites - Woodard notes that a complex relationship developed between traders and their Indian partners, often involving marriages and family interaction. The book also profiles individual traders and Mountain Men such as Pierre Chouteau, Manuel Lisa and the legendary Jedediah Smith - all of whom had hair raising adventures in the Upper Missouri. Readers will learn of Smith’s narrow escape from a marauding Grizzly Bear, and of early battles between trappers and Indian tribes. Any reader interested in early American frontier history or the fur trade and Mountain Men will find this an excellent and exciting reading adventure as well as a reliable and useful reference tool. The book is also generously illustrated with maps, western art and drawings by Frederick Remington and George Catlin.
