"The Ape of Sorrows" examines humans and our behaviors in a new and
captivating way and presents our species as a being of sorrows who
thousands of years ago, lost its original or fixed habitat.
Maurice Rowdon has authored several books on animal/human
intelligence and opens with a gripping retelling of the monkey
brawl at the London zoo during the 1930s - a scene that illustrates
the power of sexuality and instinct to affect animal behavior. As
Rowdon shares the results of his intense studies of and comparisons
between humans and animals, he portrays the human as he truly is -
the least intelligent animal of all the creatures, while
emphasizing the fact that even today, modern science continues to
struggle to catch up with nature. As Rowdon diplomatically
challenges long-held scientific beliefs, he offers his own theories
as he carefully measures impulse versus astuteness in both the
human and animal and why either creature may eventually leave its
habitat enhanced or depleted.
Manifestations of the human being's need to conquer everything
in its path are evident everywhere in the world today. "The Ape of
Sorrows" provides valuable insight and the unique opportunity to
view humans without self-condemnation as an eroded species
dedicated to its own destruction.
The biblical principles found in The 7 Minute Spiritual Manager
simplify spiritual management and increase spiritual reactions and
reaction time when incorporated with the basic concepts of
management. The book serves as a resource and an assessment tool.
The seven-minute spiritual manager establishes a spiritually
intuitive action plan for goals and objectives which lead to
purpose; and decrees to the soul that as a result of spiritual
practice (obedience), God will initiate and support thoughts and
actions which will produce optimum outcomes in spite of obstacles
and difficult situations. The spiritual manager strives for
spiritual consistency and avoidance of flesh-laden distractions to
close the time gap between events, thought for resolution, and
spiritual reaction. The Bible, as the foundation of a spiritual
action plan, serves as a resource for supporting and assessing
progress towards godly purpose. The spiritual manager, unable to
remove completely the burden of sin from worldly surroundings,
empowers the soul to contradict the appeal of sin (wrong choices)
to our weakest points. He or she invalidates and lessens sinful
opportunities while maximizing spiritual production. temporary
need, to attaining ongoing spiritual enlightenment and fulfillment.

In "Vilynprakah," Nadirah Alford taps into some of the most painful
moments of human experience and contrasts them with deep longings
for love, hopes, dreams, and high expectations. She leads us on a
quest for balance and satisfaction, while providing us with courage
and strength. Alford beautifully illustrates how the delicate human
spirit can survive traumatic events and become more resilient.
Poetry flows directly from the author's heart. Alford's emotions
and thoughts pour forth in a passionate manner, as in her poem
"Eight Pieces" "Eight Pieces Just some girl who looks like her
mother But cannot live without her cover Pieces that has been
broken needs to come back together Like glass or a crossword puzzle
Something full of mass Life been tough, too much aggravation and no
satisfaction Attitudes flying and angers rising Forced apart a
puzzle of eight Pieces scattered, I cannot live without them My
eight piece puzzle Each piece is important to the other But now
they are separated Years trying to set the pieces back together The
puzzle is like a life force with each piece missing it's weaken
It's tearing down flesh It's tearing down blood It's separating
strength Causing tears of flood"
Jeff Scarborough was the only cameraman on duty at WNBC's newsroom
in New York when the attacks of 9/11 began. Armed with privileged
information from the '93 attack on the World Trade Center-realizing
both towers were doomed-Jeff pulled out of an emergency convoy just
short of the WTC as he and reporter Rob Morrison approached the
burning towers. Taking charge at the scene, Jeff ordered live-truck
engineer Eddie Alonzo to stay 500 feet away and told all responding
crews to back-off-dangerously becoming NBC's sole cameraman
broadcasting live from Ground Zero. He permitted only the live-shot
reporter to join him at his camera position-and during their live
broadcast, the South Tower collapsed. They ran for their lives;
Jeff rescued Eddie and stayed to videotape the panic and the North
Tower collapse. "September's Camera" is the story of that fateful
day, and of a career lived on the edge of danger-as Jeff's lens
captured conflict, urban riots, blackouts, serial killers, plane
crashes and human frailty in all its forms.

"Recent studies in America has shown that there is a growing trend
of non-believers who have given up on organized religion because
their spiritual needs are not being met. Ken Reiners' book now
provides a guide for those non-believers who still want to grow
spiritually. He makes a clear and concise differentiation between
organized religion and spirituality. In this book Ken identifies
eight, essential spiritual needs for becoming spiritually whole. He
shares his personal spiritual struggle of letting go of the
distorted religious beliefs imposed on him by his parents and other
religious teachers. Discarding of these negative beliefs imposed on
him by others and replacing them with positive ones has enabled Ken
to become more spiritually whole. This book not only provides
helpful insights for non-believers but for anyone who is seeking
spiritual wholeness."
