Isolation.

The Alaskan Territory.

In the 1950s Alaska was not yet a state when a young woman, the author Ruth Vincent, accompanied her biologist husband to remote Afognak Island.
The two were alone with short-wave radio and bush pilots as their only connection with the outside world. Months at a time would elapse without Ruth even seeing another woman. Foxes became pets, mail was delivered by bush pilots, snowshoes were essential, and puffin eggs enhanced meals.
"In the Wake of the Frontier" vividly portrays this three-year adventure. Life on Afognak Island included coping without electricity or running water, facing Kodiak brown bears, and dealing with life-threatening situations. At the same time, the stunning Alaskan scenery and idyllic peacefulness were breathtaking. Through the author's eyes, dealing with emergencies, aloneness, and inconveniences all come alive in this engaging historical memoir.

Based on comprehensive statistical data and detailed analyses of case histories drawn from private practice, maternity homes, and a county hospital, this book examines the societal, familial, and psychological factors in illegitimacy.

As the late Bob Marley (R.I.P) so rightly sang, "Who feels it knows it!" While you can read many books out there that have been written by Ph.D. titled persons, who, I have no doubt, are well respected in their various professional fields, most of them can only offer you 'classroom' tactics of how to cope with and survive unemployment because they have never been unemployed themselves. I have been unemployed for more than five (5) years. So, I have felt the sting and scourge of unemployment and I KNOW, in a very real and intimate way, what being unemployed feels like. In this book, I share with you some of my own unemployment challenges. At the end of each of the 15 chapters I also share with you some precise activities that you can immediately implement. In chapter 15, I share some sound financial advice from my cumulative financial qualifications and experience as an M.B.A graduate in International Finance, Portfolio Manager, Associate Professor in Finance & Business etc.
