THE END****Luckily, 35+ years of living happened between Chapters 1 and 2, giving Barb plenty of material for this collection (in no particular chronological order) from her newspaper columns, articles, blog posts, and that time she killed Mom. And that's before Chapter 3 even starts."I have learned to put down the coffee and place breakable objects at a safe distance when a post from Barb Taub comes up.

Open this book to any page and you will find selected gems of the spoken and written word that you will use again and again. It is a comprehensive resource that will give you an appropriate quote for almost any subject you want to address in your speaking or writing. Bob Moscatelli is a 1958 graduate of West Point. He accumulated the quotes in this book over a fifty-year period which included twenty-six years as a career Army officer, eight as a financial programmer and four in politics. He is also the author of Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart, a book on the fundamentals of personal finance. This book is an ideal gift for readers of all ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From pro-life advocate Donald S. Smith comes INNOCENT BLOOD: America’s Final Trial, a compelling novel that aims to open the hearts and minds of millions of Americans to the reality of abortion. The novel is the story of a man, Jefferson Maddox, driven by a passion for the welfare of America’s unborn generation. Educated in literature and drama, and married to a uniquely beautiful fashion model, Jefferson Maddox rises to wealth and power as the founder of a billion-dollar financial empire. Deeply concerned about his home state, South Carolina, Maddox becomes governor of the state. His successful recovery program becomes a stepping-stone to the presidency of the United States of America. To resolve abortion, America’s deepest moral dilemma, Maddox overrides the U. S. Supreme Court with a powerful, creative strategy that assures unalienable protection for the unborn child from the moment of conception. “The future is in the balance: we can go upward to restoration and success, or downward to defeat and destruction,” the author states. INNOCENT BLOOD: America’s Final Trial challenges the reader to think the problem through and to move in the direction of a permanent solution.
Book Synopsis Two in a Bed by : Paul C. Rosenblatt
Download or read book Two in a Bed written by Paul C. Rosenblatt and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of adults sleep with another adult, but what does it mean to share a bed with someone else, and how does it affect a couple's relationship? What happens when one partner snores? Steals the sheets? Prefers to sleep in the nude? To address these and other questions, Paul C. Rosenblatt asked couples to describe the struggles, challenges, and achievements of their bed-sharing experiences. Two in a Bed includes interviews with more than forty bed-sharing couples as they candidly discuss winding down and waking up, cold feet and tucked sheets, who sleeps near the door and who gets pushed to the edge, snoring, spooning, sleep talking, sleep walking, and the myriad other behaviors we negotiate in falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up each morning beside a partner. In addition to exploring the routines and realities of sharing a bed with another person, these interviews reveal important information about sleep, relationships, and American society. Stressing the intricacy and importance of a previously unremarked activity, Rosenblatt's Two in a Bed shows that sleep should no longer be viewed solely as an individual phenomenon.
